In the evening, the Daming Palace is lit up and beaming. Li Hong ordered Zhao Renji's banquet to be simple and not too extravagant and wasteful, but to what extent can the state banquet be simple?

When Li Hong came to Daming Palace, all the civil and military officials had already arrived, and the Tubo ambassador An Lai, the deputy envoy Sang Ying and Princess Gesang were all in place.

He wore a moon-white dragon robe today, which looked both spiritual and tough, but it subverted the previous dull and cowardly image. Coupled with the embroidered spring knife he wore on his waist, he added another martial artist's atmosphere, and he looked even more heroic and domineering.

This is the first time that Li Hong has appeared in front of the ministers in this kind of costume, and everyone can't help but light up when they see him, this is the bearing that the prince of the Tang Dynasty should have!

Princess Gesang trembled when she saw the crown prince Li Hong, as a young girl, who doesn't like the handsome, chic and domineering man she marries? Who doesn't love their man being the most attractive person in the whole world? Today, Li Hong's image and bearing are very in line with the standards for her husband in her heart, she is magnanimous, gentle and elegant, and not domineering.

Li Hong walked into the banquet hall, and everyone hurriedly got up to salute him, and his attitude was very respectful.

Li Hong first walked around the positions of Li Ji and Xu Jingzong and other prime ministers, said a few words of greeting to everyone, and went straight to the side of An Lai, Sang Ying and Princess Gesang.

"Did Le Yanwei convey the meaning of loneliness to Ambassador An today?" Li Hong asked An Lai. The two sides are not good friends, and there is not so much gossip, so Li Hong will be straightforward.

"I said, since Your Highness wants to talk to me, the time will be set for the day after tomorrow!" An Lai also said straight to the point.

Li Hong nodded slightly and said, "You set the time, and the place is alone." ”

An Lai nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, we have a special program for today's banquet, and we want to ask for your assistance, don't shirk it!" ”

Li Hong knew the meaning of An Lai's words, so he smiled and said, "Can Ambassador An reveal one or two?" ”

"Your Highness will naturally know when the time comes." An Lai pretended to be mysterious and said, "Of course, we will also come up with a little color, Your Highness will not be unwilling, right?" ”

"It's nothing, the most important thing Datang lacks is money and people, and Lone is also willing to have fun with Ambassador An." Li Hong said-for-tat.

The two of them have something to say, and they are not polite, which makes Sang Ying on the side dizzy, and makes Le Yanwei, who was following Li Hong, dumbfounded, when did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince speak so sharply? Only when Princess Gesang saw Li Hong's performance, her eyes became brighter, this is what she was looking forward to the prince of the Tang Dynasty-

"Then it will depend on His Highness's lottery?" An Lai said with a faint smile.

"Lonely, I really want to see Ambassador An cry when the time comes." Li Hong said unhurriedly, "Of course, I would prefer to see Ambassador An's color head, beauties, treasures, Datang has it, and there are many of them, I don't think Ambassador An will be so vulgar, I'm really looking forward to Ambassador An's color head——"

An Lai's face turned red and white when he said this, Li Hong was despising them Tubo, this is **naked showing off his wealth! Could it be that all the people of Datang are like this, and they are so capricious when they have money?

Seeing that Princess Gesang had been staring at him, Li Hong was very puzzled by what you girl was always looking at me, so he turned to Princess Gesang on the side and said, "Princess Gesang, I wish you a happy meal tonight!" ”

"Ahh ”

Li Hong was puzzled when he saw Princess Gesang's shy appearance, didn't he say that the Tubo woman had an unrestrained personality? Can you ride a horse on the top and a person on the bottom? What's wrong with this princess today?

Only An Lai and Le Yanwei, who were on the side, saw Princess Gesang's shyness and vaguely guessed a rough idea. Le Yanwei is happy in her heart, is this okay? Is there really a woman who likes the frail and sickly prince?

An Lai was nervous, he could vaguely guess the purpose of Mangsong Mangzan to let Princess Gesang come to the Tang Dynasty, but the goal of Princess Gesang was Gaozong before, An Lai was very relieved, first, he knew that Empress Wu would not agree, and second, he knew that there was a beauty like Helan Minyue, and the chance of Princess Gesang's success was very small. But now it's different, killing a prince halfway, and getting into the eyes of the princess, this will be a big deal!

"The banquet will start soon, and Gu won't talk to you—" Li Hong said, and strode away.

"Your Highness, Princess Gesang seems-" Le Yanwei whispered beside her. The prince is young and doesn't understand the love of children, what if he is used by the Tibetans, he has to be reminded. It's just that before he finished his words, he saw a commotion among the ministers, because Gaozong and Empress Wu had already arrived.

Li Hong hurriedly stepped forward to the door to greet Gaozong and Empress Wu.

When Gaozong saw Li Hong, he saw that Li Hong's bearing was calm and domineering, although his face was still a little pale and his body was still a little thin, but his spirit was very strong, he was very relieved in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Hong'er, you didn't disappoint me!" ”

A pun, but the concern is beyond words!

"The sons also congratulate their father on being so healthy," Li Hong said.

With Sun Simiao's treatment, although Gaozong's stubborn disease cannot be completely eradicated, it is no major problem to suppress the disease and prolong his life.

"Thanks to Sun Zhenren—" Gaozong was in a good mood, and couldn't help but say a few more words, and then walked to the banquet host and sat down with the support of Li Hong and Empress Wu. Because it was not a court meeting, Li Hong and Empress Wu sat on his left and right sides.

After the ministers in the palace gave them a salute, Gao Zong moved his eyes to An Lai's side and said, "Today's banquet will be held to wash the dust for Ambassador An, and Ambassador An will want a few more cups in the evening!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" An Lai hurriedly got up and replied.

Gaozong raised his glass, and everyone hurriedly raised the quilt and drank a glass of wine.

When Li Hong raised his glass, he suddenly thought of the night banquet of Hebi Palace, he was thinking that he would still be the former prince Li Hong, and it was estimated that ten years later, he would raise his glass like this, and after drinking a glass of wine, his soul would return to the underworld.

At tonight's banquet, the program arranged by Zhao Renji includes sword dancing, which is an indispensable program for the Datang banquet, which is also decided by the Tang Dynasty martial arts. And then there's the pipa singing and dancing.

Gaozong has long seen enough of these shows, so he looks like he is lacking in interest, and the Empress Wu doesn't like these and is even less interested in watching them, only the lustful minister can't take his eyes off when he sees the dancing posture of the palace maid on the dance floor, which also includes Sang Ying, Sang Ying came to Datang to lead six hundred elite horses, to protect the safety of An Lai, it is to play Datang women, but this time Honglu Temple did not arrange it like this, he was angry, and when he saw these dancing girls today, he exposed his true nature.

After the song and dance were over, I saw An Lai get up and said to Gaozong and Empress Wu, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, just now the minister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a gambling contract, which was a program prepared by the minister, and the prince Xiang participated in it together, and wanted to share the victory and defeat with the minister--please ask Your Majesty and Niangniang for permission." ”

Your uncle-!

What a shame!

This son of a bitch!

When Li Hong heard An Lai's words so shameless, he almost jumped to scold his mother!

This is really a person who has no discipline, and hooligans are also stabbed!

"Prince, is there such a thing?" Gaozong asked Li Hong.

Tubo challenged himself, and how could Li Hong dare not face it, so he could only reply, "This is indeed the case!" Moreover, Ambassador An said that he wanted to come up with an unusual lottery head, and Erchen agreed to his bet with curiosity. ”

Li Hong's words were very beautiful, and he told Gaozong and the ministers that it was not that he liked An Lai's bets, but that he was curious about An Lai's bets. For a man who is only fourteen years old, there is nothing to blame!

"Since you agreed, I agreed, you can start betting whatever you want!" Gaozong was also interested, so he said loudly.

"Your Majesty Xie—" An Lai replied respectfully, smiling at Li Hong, "Prince, can you start?" ”

"Ambassador An, please!" Li Hong said.

An Lai said a few words to Sang Ying beside him, and saw Sang Ying get up and leave.

In the middle of the sound, eight Tibetan guards carried a large iron cage into the main hall, the iron cage was covered with a black cloth, and he couldn't see what was inside, but Li Hong knew that it was the boil he saw outside Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the nobles of the Tang Dynasty all like cockfighting, and we Tubo people don't raise chickens but dogs, so when the minister came to Chang'an this time, he specially brought a piece that our Tubo people raised enough - it's called boiling, and I want to fight dogs with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tonight, I don't know if His Royal Highness agrees?" An Lai said loudly.

Let the mastiff fight with the dog, it is difficult not to win, he is full of confidence, and his words will be so domineering.

"Dogs still bark?" Gaozong was interested, "Let me take a look!" ”

"Your Majesty, wait a minute!" An said, and gave Sang Ying a gesture, Sang Ying took the order, and suddenly lifted the black cloth on the iron cage, and the iron cage was exposed in front of everyone, and a tall and mighty long-haired dog that looked like a lion appeared in front of everyone.

"Wang-Wang-" When the mastiff saw so many people watching him at once, he barked loudly and threw himself outside the cage.

"Big guy—" Gojong couldn't help but admire when he saw such a large dog for the first time. Even the Empress Wu on the side, her eyes couldn't help but move to the mastiff's body.

Sang Ying saw the surprise of the Tang Dynasty ministers when they saw the mastiff, and his face was proud.

An Lai glanced at Li Hong contemptuously and said with a smile, "The minister's color head is - Tubo 600 elite horses, I don't know what His Highness's color head is?" ”

Hum -

The hall exploded at once—and everyone began to talk about it.

Not to mention the color head, just talk about the size of this dog, as well as the fierce appearance of the face, you know that its combat effectiveness is not weak, and there are dogs in Datang that can fight it? Besides, An Lai used 600 elite horses as a bet, this is 600 lives! Is it true that the crown prince will also accompany him, and will make a bet with 600 lives?

At this moment, not only the ministers, but even Gaozong and Empress Wu's eyes moved to Li Hong, wanting to see how Li Hong replied. In the main hall, only Princess Gesang looked at Li Hong calmly, because this was her test of Li Hong-
