In the ninth year of Wude, on the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Shimin held a banquet in the Taiji Hall, and the nobles who were ranked in Chang'an City went one after another; Participating in the banquet held by the emperor is not only a symbol of glory, but the most important thing is to meet the free prince who has never shown up.

At the same time, a banquet was also held in the harem, which was presided over by the queen mother to entertain those officials and wives with good rank.

Seeing that the hour was almost up, but Li Ran had not yet arrived, which made Li Shimin very annoyed, but the scene had to go on, so Li Shimin walked into the Taiji Hall alone.

At this time, Li Ran was riding a green deer and came slowly, but to Li Ran's surprise, as soon as he arrived, the audience was silent; Li Ran also wondered at this time: How could the banquet be full of women!

Looking around the audience, Li Ran finally saw two acquaintances, who were the eldest grandson Wujian and Yang Jingxiang; Li Ran asked the eldest grandson Wujian suspiciously, "Didn't you ask me to come to the dinner, why are they all women?" ”

"Eh", the eldest grandson Wujian didn't expect Li Ran to come to the harem, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Why did you run to the harem, the Taiji Hall is in front."

Li Ran had already guessed that he was in the wrong place, but it didn't matter: "Isn't it the same everywhere to participate in the dinner party, there are so many beautiful women here, it's really beautiful and delicious."

The eldest grandson's face sank, and then he said to the palace maid on the side: "Come here, lead the way for the prince of Xiaoyao."

Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji's face sank, Li Ran knew that the eldest grandson Wujian was dissatisfied with what he had just said, so he had no choice but to ride a green deer and follow the palace maid towards the Taiji Palace; However, he secretly transmitted the voice to the eldest grandson Wujian: "You are so beautiful today, wait for me at night."

The eldest grandson's face turned slightly red. Fortunately, it was night, and I couldn't see it clearly. Otherwise, it is really easy to misunderstand; The eldest grandson Wujian turned to the officials and wives and said apologetically: "The prince is not familiar with the palace, so he came here. You don't have to worry about it."

"It turns out that he is the prince of leisure, he is so young."

"What a young man, that's a child, okay."

Seeing the well-known Prince of Ease, the officials and wives couldn't help but whisper, and for a while, the topics on the field were unanimous.

On the other side, outside the Taiji Palace, the palace maid took Li Ran to the gate of the hall and said to Li Ran: "Lord Xiaoyao, there is the Taiji Hall in front." The slave and maid went to report it".

"No need, you go back first, I'll just go in by myself", Li Ran finished saying and rode Qinglu towards the Taiji Palace, but was stopped by the guards as soon as he arrived at the door.

"Are you stopping me?" Looking at the two guards, Li Ran smiled.

Although the two guards had never seen Li Ran, they had also heard of Li Ran, especially Qinglu under Li Ran's seat, and it was not difficult for people to know about it; They didn't stop Li Ran. just wanted to stop the green deer, after all, Li Shimin was having a night banquet with the ministers, what was going on with letting a green deer in; Although this Qinglu is extraordinary, they don't dare to let the Qinglu in.

"Wait a minute, Lord Wang. We'll get through it immediately", the guard said a little nervously, he really didn't know what the consequences would be if he offended Li Ran.

"No need. The young master is no longer interested in participating in the banquet", Li Ran finished speaking. Riding the green deer, he turned around and left.

"The prince forgives the sin, the prince forgives the sin. The prince also invites in."

Seeing this, the two guards immediately knelt in front of Li Ran, they knew in their hearts that if Li Ran did not attend the banquet because of the two of them, then the result of the two of them could be imagined, and the consequences of this would be much more serious than the consequences of letting Qinglu enter the Taiji Palace.

Looking at the appearance of the two guards, Li Ran finally relented, did not feel embarrassed anymore, turned around and rode Qinglu towards the Taiji Palace.

As soon as Li Ran rode Qinglu into the hall, he found that the ministers looked at him in surprise, Li Ran continued to walk indifferently, until he came to Li Shimin, and Qinglu stopped.

"Li Er, I'm sorry, I'm late", Li Ran said lightly.

But Li Shimin's face became gloomy: Even if it's late, it's really embarrassing to call himself Li Er in front of so many ministers, it's too shameful.

However, before Li Shimin could get angry, an older minister with a Confucian temperament stood up and said, "Who are you to dare to be so presumptuous."

"Old man, who are you?" Li Ran looked at the person who spoke unhappily.

"Old man Kong Yingda".

"It seems that you don't welcome me, the master sees that you are sick, and the master is not welcome to invite the master to come, hum", Li Ran didn't pay attention to Kong Yingda anymore, but said to Li Shimin dissatisfied, then patted Qinglu, turned around and left.

"Presumptuous, it's too presumptuous, the emperor, this person has no king, the old minister implores the emperor to deprive him of the second viscount and put him in prison", looking at Li Ran's behavior, Kong Yingda was quite angry.

Kong Yingda is a Confucian Confucian, and he has always rejected ghosts and gods, but now when he sees Li Ran's behavior, he is even more repulsive, so he can't help but give Li Shimin advice.

Li Ran glanced back at Kong Yingda, and then shook his head: "Confucius has a descendant like you, it's just smearing him."

Li Shimin is very entangled now, what should he do, whether to keep Li Ran, or let Li Ran leave; If Li Ran is retained, then Kong Yingda's face will be directly thinned; If Li Ran is allowed to leave, I am afraid that I will not have a chance with Li Ran in the future.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji walked out quickly, and then shouted at Li Ran's back: "Lord Xiaoyao, please stay."

Seeing that Li Ran still had no intention of stopping, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed and ran towards Li Ran at random brisk, but looking at the eldest grandson Wuji's slightly chubby body, he was not slow to run.

Seeing the eldest grandson Wuji chasing after Li Ran, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui glanced at each other, and then got up and came to Kong Yingda's side; The two dragged Kong Yingda back to his position one by one, and then whispered something.

The eldest grandson Wuji came to Li Ran and smiled slightly: "Prince Xiaoyao, I am Lizhi's uncle Changsun Wuji, listening to the queen's mother, the prince loves Lizhi very much, and if you want to come, the prince will not make it difficult for Lizhi."

Thinking of Li Lizhen and Li Lizhen's life, Li Ran's heart was soft, and then he smiled: "I heard that there is a Yingguo Gong warrior in Taiyuan, he has two daughters, one is called Wu Shun, and the other is called Wu Zhao, I want the two of them, I hope to see them next time I come to Chang'an, do you know what I mean?" ”

"Understood, please sit down", the eldest grandson Wuji really understood, Li Ran meant nothing more than to tell him that he Li Ran didn't have to marry Li Liqing, and he didn't always talk about Li Liqing, in this world, who he wanted to marry and who he didn't want to marry, it was all in his thoughts; However, what the eldest grandson Wuji was curious about was that Li Ran seemed to be deliberate, could there be any statement in this.

Under the leadership of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ran sat on the desk that had been prepared a long time ago, and this desk was specially prepared for Li Ran by Li Shimin; After Li Ran sat down, Qinglu honestly lay on Li Ran's side.

The dinner party continued, first of all, gifts, but because Li Ran came late, he didn't see what the people in front of him had sent, only the things that the people in the back had sent, but they were all strange things; In the end, after everyone had finished sending it, they all looked at Li Ran.

Li Ran looked at Li Shimin and said with a slight smile: "Originally, the master prepared good things, but after I came, I found that you were not welcome, but since you have all sat down, this gift is still to be given, give you a jade pendant."

After Li Ran finished speaking, he casually threw a piece of jade pendant on the table in front of Li Shimin; Li Shimin picked up the jade pendant on the table with some regret, but looking at this jade pendant like this, he was immediately disappointed.

"A drop of blood will go up, this jade pendant can protect your life", Li Ran explained lightly.

Li Shimin heard that although there was a little difference from the imaginary gift, it was good to think about it, so he bit his middle finger and dripped a drop of blood, a burst of light flashed, and the jade pendant disappeared, and Li Shimin was surprised to see it.

Then the banquet began, in Li Ran's eating and drinking, the banquet finally ended, the people who should be dispersed were dispersed, and the people who should not be dispersed were also dispersed.

In the Lizheng Palace, after the eldest grandson Wujian retired from the palace maid, he sat on the bed with some apprehension: Xianzhi is coming over tonight, but what if the emperor is coming tonight? But the emperor hasn't come for a few months, and it's also a means of the immortal envoy to come, but when he comes, what should he do, do you refuse or?

"Innocent"

A soft call appeared in the ear of the eldest grandson Wuji, and when the eldest grandson Wujian turned his head to look, he found Li Ran sitting beside him with a smile, and he was so frightened that the eldest grandson Wujian hurriedly looked around.

"Wuji, don't worry, no matter how big the movement is tonight, no one will know", Li Ran hugged the eldest grandson Wujian after speaking.
