Chapter 35: Congratulatory Gifts (I)

Li Xueyan's words made Du He's expression solemn, the magic of the disguise technique, only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand the mystery, as long as the person who has mastered this technique is skilled, he can easily transform one person into another person, and he does not show any flaws. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Since Li Xueyan accidentally got the disguise cheats and knew that this disguise technique could help Du He, she put a lot of effort into learning, and the technique was quite good. Her disguise, even Du He is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Li Xiaogong is the hero of the Li Tang Dynasty, the foundation of the famous general, half of the Li Tang Dynasty can even be said to be Li Xiaogong defeated, in the Li clan, only two people get Li Shimin's respect. One is Li Xiaogong, and the other is Li Zongdao.

As Li Xiaogong's eldest son Li Chonghuang, his status is as high as that of an ordinary prince.

He has changed his appearance, will he be a fake?

Du He's mind was serious, and he groaned slightly, silently.

Taking advantage of not paying attention, he pulled Li Xueyan to the side and said in a serious whisper: "Can you be sure?" This is not an ordinary serious matter. "Li Chonghuang has a very high status, disguised as him, and can do a lot of things. At this special moment, if he is a killer, then he can assassinate any character on this birthday, even including Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, as for Prince Shenma, King Wei and the like, they only need to show some good feelings, and they will stick it upside down like flies smelling dung to win him over.

Of course, this is only a hypothesis, and there are many, many possibilities. Anyway, Li Chonghuang's status can easily do things that make Datang suffer heavy losses.

Li Xueyan saw that Du He's expression was unexpectedly serious, and she also realized the seriousness of the matter, but her brows were locked into a line, and she said hurriedly: "No, I have never had anything to do with Li Chonghuang, and I don't know if he is like this." Just looking at his face just had a weird feeling, unreal, but I couldn't see a flaw. I just vaguely felt that his face was plump and unnatural. Either way, or maybe I'll take a closer look and see if it's true or not! ”

She secretly hated herself for being useless, and she couldn't help anything when it mattered.

"No!" Du He could understand her feelings, took her hand and smiled: "There's no need, I believe in your feelings, if it weren't for that, you wouldn't have this strange feeling for no reason." Frequent attention will make him aware of it and startle the snake. I'll leave it to your husband, and I'll see who he is and what his purpose is." He smiled coldly, his gaze sharpened to a deep and sharp point.

Feeling the warmth coming from the palm of her hand, Li Xueyan's anxious heart unexpectedly settled down, looking at the confident smiling face, sharp eyes, and blurred eyes - this is her husband, who can be a big hero who can be covered when the sky falls, and smiled sweetly: "Then everything will be handed over to the husband." ”

Back in front of the hall, meeting Changle's inquiring gaze, Du He smiled slightly, saying that he didn't have to mind. Today is Li Shimin's birthday, as long as "Li Chonghuang" does not come out to spoil the fun, the matter will be dealt with after the birthday is over.

Changle is filial, and it is better to hide this matter from her, so as not to hurt her mind and be afraid.

Du Ho pulled Fang Yuai and asked about Li Chonghuang.

Since Li Xiaogong was named the king of Hejian Yuan, he has not been concerned about any affairs, and all the things in the fief have been handed over to his eldest son Li Chonghuang to deal with, and he has stayed in Chang'an to enjoy himself. Therefore, Li Chonghuang has been in the fief all the year round to replace Li Xiaogong to deal with important affairs, in the past ten years, the number of times he has come to Chang'an is only a handful, Fang Yiai is not familiar with him, and he doesn't know him very well, but he knows that Li Chonghuang is very good, when Fang Yiai, Du He or Chang'an two gangsters, Li Chonghuang's fame is beginning to appear, and he has a good talent.

Du He also knew that Li Chonghuang had not been in Chang'an for a long time, and it was difficult to inquire about him in a short period of time, so he didn't ask more.

After a short time, the auspicious time had come, they lined up in a procession, went to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors, after complicated etiquette, before and after being busy for half an hour, Li Shimin accepted the congratulations of his children and his fellow ancestors in the Lizheng Palace.

"Today is my birthday, and I don't want to be so extravagant. I thought I would have a casual meal at the Lizheng Hall and celebrate a little. How can I resist the prince, Ke'er, Tai'er and Gaoyang, they have to hold a banquet in this East Palace to celebrate, they can't shake off their filial piety, and make all their relatives and friends laugh. Entering the main hall, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sat down on the main seat, and after everyone in the hall saluted and returned to their seats, they said very politely.

"Your Majesty is serious!" The people present responded one after another.

It's all a bit contrived, but these are essential scenes.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "All the people present are a family, and since it is a birthday, there is no need to be too restrained, just treat me as a birthday star!" ”

His eyes swept through the crowd, and soon he found Du He and several people in the front row, and his face was full of smiles.

As the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, Changle's status is very high, and this time Du He touched her light and sat in the front row.

Li Shimin didn't care about the eyes of others, and beckoned: "Changle, come, sit next to my father and have a good chat with my father!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the princes' eyes were red.

It is a great honor to be able to sit next to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun at this kind of banquet.

There are already two people sitting on the left and right of Empress Changsun, an eleven-year-old Jin King Li Zhi, and a seven-year-old Jinyang princess, only Li Shimin has a vacant seat next to him, and it is a great honor to be able to sit on it.

If Li Chengqian sits on it, it means that Li Shimin's favor is still there, and the crown prince's throne is more stable. If Li Ke and Li Tai sit up, it means that Li Shimin is favored, and they are expected to become the crown princes of the Tang Dynasty. Everybody's eyes were on that seat.

But when Li Shimin greeted Changle, the brothers were powerless together, and the energy to repay their grievances was gone: from childhood to adulthood, Changle was the treasure in the hands of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, the flesh of the heart, and the first thing to give all good things was Changle. Their brother is completely useless, and he has long been used to it.

It's just that I can't imagine that even if I get married, Changle still has such a status in Li Shimin's heart.

Changle was a little hesitant, feeling that he was the Du family, and it was a little inappropriate to sit in that seat.

Li Shimin was categorically displeased: "If you marry into the Du family, you are not the daughter of your father, what is there to hesitate to sit next to your father!" ”

Changle glanced at Du He and asked for his opinion with his eyes.

Li Shimin's heart was sour, and he waved his hand and said: "Don't look at it, if the stinky boy dares not agree, I will immediately peel his skin." ”

Du He's face was innocent, what's wrong with me, why is it involved in me again, your daughter is reluctant to be angry at this baby daughter, don't transfer it to me, yes, you are the boss, you can say anything, touched his nose embarrassedly, and surrendered: "How dare the son-in-law!" Changle often talks about his father-in-law at home. ”

Changle saw that everyone in the hall was looking at them strangely, and he didn't know that it would be impossible to stand up, so he came to Li Shimin's side generously and sat down.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and gave Du He a look that counted you as acquaintance.

Du He could only smile bitterly.

The small actions of the two did not hide from the people in the hall.

Li Chengqian clenched his fists in jealousy, Li Shimin had such a good relationship with Du He, which was greatly detrimental to his future.

Li Tai's expression was complicated, from the very beginning he knew that Du He was by no means idle, and he was definitely a big helper to be able to draw him into his camp. However, Duhe and Shandong Shizu Group have a great conflict of interest, and they can only choose one of the two. Although Du He is deeply favored by the emperor, where is the strength comparable to the Shandong Shizu Group that has been passed down for thousands of years? can only throw sesame seeds for watermelons and cut off contact with Duhe.

But now Du He has not only entered Shangshu Province, but his reputation is also like a sesame seed, and it is now impossible to distinguish who is sesame and who is watermelon.

Only Li Ke's eyes flashed with mystery, and he said in his heart: "This sister-in-law is really not simple!" But there was also some helplessness in his eyes, it was not that he didn't want to win over Du He, but Du He was like a loach in a lotus pond, slippery, and there was no opportunity to take advantage of it.

As for Li Zhi, the king of Jin who was sitting beside Empress Changsun, he knocked the candy in his mouth, and his eyes glanced at the candy in Princess Jinyang's hand from time to time, thinking about how to trick it. Princess Jinyang covered the candy tightly and stared vigilantly at her brother who was not far away.

The candy was robbed more than once, and although she was young, she already had a sense of prevention.

Du He's eyes swept over Li Zhi, and when he saw his two small eyes looking directly at the things in Princess Jinyang's hand, he scratched his head and said, "He is the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why is he so unreliable!" ”

Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, walked out first: "Some time ago, the son of the son of the sage Wang Xizhi Wang Xianzhi's "Duck Head Pill Post", the son of the son of the sage Wang Xi, the son of the son of the emperor of the book, the son of the emperor knew that he loved calligraphy, as a congratulatory gift, wishing his father and son good health and longevity than Nanshan. ”

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he asked people to present the words, and after admiring them for a while, he said: "Good words, although they are inferior to their father, are also rare masterpieces, and the prince has a heart." ”

Li Chengqian smiled proudly and said: "Father, the child also heard that there is a dancing girl in Chang'an recently, who is very good at sword dancing. The child was fortunate enough to invite her to the East Palace to dance for her father. ”

Li Shimin said happily: "But Yeyue, the grandson of 'Splendid Fang', I have heard of the name for a long time, and I only hate not to see it." In this way, this afternoon I entertained the ministers and envoys of various countries, and let this Gongsun Yeyue be the finale of the banquet. ”

Li Chengqian was even more proud, glanced at Li Ke and Li Tai proudly, and said loudly: "The son obeys the order." ”

Du He was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the name of Gongsun Yeyue had reached Li Shimin's ears, and he said in his heart: "This first has Gongsun Yeyue's eccentricity, and then Li Chonghuang's suspiciousness, I'm afraid this banquet will not end happily." ”
