Daming Palace is brightly lit and bright as day.

It's not too cold tonight, and the officials and ministers who sat down in Longwei Road are talking happily at this time, and most of the topics are gathered in one person, Xu Da Ma.

The table is very long, directly to the Danfeng Gate, the people in the Longwei Road can only see the figures in the hall, but they can't hear the speech, they can't stand the emperor and have their own fun, chatting and ridiculing each other, the officials sitting next to the foreign envoys are more confident, the momentum is very strong, and the demeanor of a great country is presentable.

Some foreign friends are to ask the officials about Xu Horse, the person who answered is naturally very arrogant, and naturally produces a sense of glory, even if it is a person from Yang Guozhong's faction, there will be no meaning to belittle the horse, probably a sea blow, how good this horse is, how awesome, just so boasting, to the details, foreigners can't understand, the horse can compose poetry, can you understand?

In the past, I always said how good this horse was, but there were few who really saw it, and they were cooking and making ice cubes, and they were evil, but they could make the emperor happy, but this is not the key, the key is the emperor's favor, and this is enough.

Therefore, most of the chats of the officials under Longwei Road will involve the horses, most of them are also literati, and they have a little cultural knowledge, and the poems can naturally be appreciated.

This is a common topic, of course, there are many people who despise Xu Chen, psychologically speaking, this is a kind of pathological jealousy: Nima Laozi has worked hard for so many years, and his flattery and flattery have been exhausted, but he is not as majestic as your little horse, but the world is declining, and the sad hero is useless!

At the beginning, a Li Bai became a pampered harem, whether he was an official or a cultural person, or a rough person. Basically, all tricks have been used, and throughout the ages, the Celestial Empire has also reached such a conclusion: if you want to mix well, you must have a good relationship. Most of the people who despise Xu Chen think that the reason why this colt became a clown jumping off the beam is not because of the imperial family, not because of Princess Anyi, and not because of the old emperor. Why don't you try it instead?

The Hanyuan Hall at this time is because of the entry of Emperor Li San. This is the beginning, the old emperor's table sits on the steps, facing the palace door, and the twenty tables are divided into two rows, leaving a very wide corridor in the middle, five or six meters wide, and the disciples of the pear garden will perform in the hall at a while.

Twenty tables and more than 100 people, excluding foreign envoys, these people are the leaders of the Tang Dynasty's high society. If a missile bombs Hanyuan Palace, it is estimated that Datang will be in a mess.

After Emperor Li San and Yang Guifei took the table, they talked with several clan relatives beside them, laughing and laughing. It was relaxed and happy, and after a while, Li San glanced at Gao Lishi, and Gao Lishi instructed the confessor who stood at the door of the main hall. It's time to go.

"Up!" An elongated, shrill roar announced the official start of the birthday feast.

The officials hula-la, holding the wine on the table, many foreign envoys came for the first time. didn't know the rules, so he raised his cup with everyone and looked at Emperor Li San in the palace.

Emperor Li San's face was full of wrinkles, but he was full of smiles, in the end, he had the demeanor of an emperor, although he was old and profligate, but he was very majestic in his old age, and at this time he also raised his wine to the people in the hall: "I am on my birthday today, and I only wish the country and the people to be safe." ”

"Let's go!" The eunuch roared again.

Everyone drank the wine in their hands, this routine went three times before giving up, the emperor's table drank Xu Chen's well, the degree is a bit high, these three cups down the old emperor is obviously blushing and his neck is thick, this wine is not much, if only this table is served, it is more than enough.

The table is very large, together with Yang Yuhuan, there are as many as twelve people, and they are very far away from each other, and the foot facing the palace door is empty, so that the emperor can show his face to everyone, like Tian Cheng and the horse sit next to Li San and face to face with Xu Chen, because he is far away and can't speak, he can only increase his voice if he has to speak, and occasionally greet Xu Chen with a smile, so that Xu Chen has to bow his head, and he is not happy to see this old boy.

Li Shuang'er has completely become a vase, it is the first time she has sat on this kind of highest-level banquet, in the past, when she was in the palace, these princesses were too low, and there were a lot of royal families of Li Longji's generation, even if it was every family banquet, she couldn't do anything good.

There is no heroic posture of the command work in the hall just now, just sitting next to Xu Chen for a while and looking up and looking down for a while, this table is in the spotlight, it is too eye-catching, and it looks very uncomfortable.

The key is that if there is nothing to say, it will look cramped, and these elders sitting next to her will not pay attention to her little girl, her two aunts are far away, so they are not embarrassed, but in a blink of an eye, Xu Chen is very angry, because Xu Da Ma is talking and laughing.

Li Shuang'er sat on Xu Chen's right, Xu Shuang'er was on the left of a pair of empty seats, and a little to the left was Yue Wang Li Gu, I didn't expect such a big gap, but the two chatted, in contrast, Li Shuang'er felt embarrassed and angry, didn't you see your wife cold on the side? !

Although I know in my heart that it is nominal and nominal, it is also from the bottom of my heart that there will be such a feeling, which is regarded as expectation and recognition, and I don't know why, in short, that's it.

The reason why Xu Chen seems to be chatting so speculatively with this prince is completely passive, since he entered the table, the king of Yue has been talking to him constantly, looking at this prince's sitting relatively low, he knows that this prince's status is not very high, and the king of Qi sits next to the emperor, why is your old man treated so badly?

Anyway, he is also a prince, although Xu Chen has never had a good impression of the prince because of Li Ye's relationship, but what this old guy said is very useful, and he keeps praising Xu Chen, how good this wine is and how delicious the rice is, making Xu Chen like a street performer.

"Your "After Dengke" is very good." King Yue said with a smile, and Xu Chengang heard it when he wanted to be modest: "Especially the sentence that flies straight down to 3,000 feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way is very imposing when it falls into the nine heavens." ”

There was a trend of rampage immediately, and Nimana was written by Li Bai well! I don't have to pay much attention to it when I think about it, after all, it's all plagiarism, and if you have to be more serious, it will seem that you are too unlevel. However, this old prince obviously didn't do his homework, no wonder he has such a status.

After a few words of nonsense, he didn't pay much attention to him, turned his head and saw that Li Shuang'er was lowering his head and playing with the corner of his skirt with his hand, and then looked at the conversation of everyone at this big banquet, it is estimated that the king of Yue is also the master that no one cares about, no wonder he flatters himself so much.

Li Shuang'er noticed Xu Chen's gaze and glanced up, completely at a loss. Usually looks at this princess who is captivating and captivating, but now she is average.

"Aren't you hungry?" Xu Chen took a bite of mutton. Asked.

After the banquet began, there were very few people who ate food, most of them were interested in chatting, the people around Emperor Li San, together with Yang Yuhuan, chatted very well, Xu Chen was not interested in listening to them, it was too wasteful not to eat such a large table of good dishes, of course, there were many dishes created by themselves.

"Are you hungry?" Li Shuang'er didn't have a good airway.

I don't know what kind of psychology it is, on an outside occasion, if there is a chance to sit with Xu Chen, Li Shuang'er always wants to find trouble with Xu Chen. It's not that I can't get used to him, and it's not that I hate him. Of course, being able to sit on the imperial seat today is naturally the credit of Xu Da Ma, and Li Shuang'er certainly knows this. However, of course, it is a subconscious kind of naturalness.

"I'm hungry indeed." Xu Chen took another bite of food, he didn't eat enough at noon, and he was already hungry. It's just that Li Shuang'er is awkward here, and I don't want to pay attention to it, but I am idle and have nothing to do at this time.

After Li Shuang'er heard Xu Chen's words, she had an expression of "you are incurable". I don't want to pay attention to him anymore, the hall is noisy, but my heart is irritable for no reason.

The most beautiful thing on this imperial banquet is An Lushan, who is talking and laughing with Emperor Li San at the moment, Yang Yuhuan is also very face-saving, and even Princess Yuzhen casually echoed it.

An Fatzi is telling some stories of border towns to please Li San, Emperor Li San in his later years has always listened to the likes and worries of the border towns, and his preference for side work has become a kind of pathology, and the generals of the border towns often report good news but not bad news, like An Lushan, who has a lot of soldiers, is actually bullying some ethnic minorities, and has nothing to do, and there are countless victories reported every year, and there is some prestige in the government and the opposition, and Emperor Li San's trust is like a brother.

Every year at such a birthday banquet, the protagonist is naturally An Lushan, Yang Guozhong can't take advantage of this feudal official, and the birthday gifts given by An Lushan are all rare objects, which Yang Guozhong can't compare at all.

Princess Yuzhen doesn't hate this big fat man very much, the key is that this fat man is too harmonious, and his honest expression looks like a miscellaneous animal, which is more likable than Yang Guozhong.

The status of these people under the imperial banquet is naturally not low, and a little prince like Li Ye can also sit inside, and Li Caier is the only princess to be married, but she still sits at the table of all the princesses.

"Didn't you just find a colt who could compose poetry, and you really felt great when you sat on the royal seat?"

Li Cai'er's table is made of a number of princesses, and I don't know who said this, envy, jealousy and hatred, but Li Cai'er listened to it. Then he said, "Isn't it possible for anyone to sit on the royal seat?" Besides, do you have a colt like that? ”

There was a whisper above, but Li Cai'er deliberately raised her voice, although she hated that Xu Juma very much, but when she heard someone attacking Shuang'er, Li Cai'er didn't let it go at all. Li Cai'er's prestige is unknown to anyone, although these princesses are married, they are also a little afraid of her, in their eyes, this old girl is a madman, she can do anything!

Li Cai'er said this sentence more ruthlessly, and for a while, the table was speechless and silent, and no one wanted to pay attention to her......

On the royal seat, An Lushan was still talking and laughing, and was talking about the glorious deeds of the last time he fought the Turks to win more with less, and everyone was listening to this person in the audience, but Xu Chen couldn't stand this fat man's nonsense, looking at Li Shuang'er awkwardly, he leaned closer to his face and whispered a word.

Li Shuang'er was depressed, but she didn't want to make a face, she was so close, she was in a daze but startled, fortunately, this face was still a little handsome, otherwise she would have slapped it earlier.

"Or you can give your majesty a drink." Xu Chen said.

Li Shuang'er's eyes lit up, but when she saw that Li San was talking and laughing with An Lushan, she lowered her head again, her eyes dimmed and said, "Didn't you see that your father was busy?" ”

Xu Chen ignored Li Shuang'er, grabbed her sleeve, and pulled her up from the seat.

The two of them stood up suddenly, causing everyone on the royal table to look at them together, Li Shuang'er was too surprised, her expression was too panicked, and she saw that Xu Yuma's face was already full of smiles, and her angry eyes immediately changed their looks, and they became shy.

"Shuang'er and I want to toast Your Majesty and wish Your Majesty a happy birthday."

Originally, An Lushan was blowing loudly, but when he saw Xu Chen, who suddenly got up and felt the wine glass, his face suddenly dropped, in his opinion, this colt is obviously finding fault, when are you toasting bad, but at this time.

Although Li Shuang'er didn't understand Xu Yuma's words, she also echoed and said: "May my father live forever." ”

Emperor Li San was also very surprised, and it was not their turn to toast according to their qualifications, and he didn't understand much of what Xu Juma said, "Happy birthday, that is, he asked with a smile: "What is the explanation of happy birthday?" ”

"This is the habit of my son-in-law's hometown, I hope Your Majesty is happy." Xu Chen said respectfully.

There was silence in the room, Xu Chen's singing was too abrupt, no one could have expected it, Princess Yuzhen saw this situation and said busily: "The little horse and Shuang'er are of the same mind, don't you always hold the shelf, why don't you take it quickly?" ”

Yang Yuhuan also said: "Your Majesty, don't blame these two people for being abrupt." People have the heart to celebrate their birthdays! “

The eldest princess and Tian Juma naturally shouldn't be the queen: "Your virtuous son-in-law also has a heart...... "......

Emperor Li San originally liked the little colt very much, and he loved Li Shuang'er very much, but the two of them were too sudden to buffer, and now there are so many people to help talk, and I am very happy in my heart, this virtuous son-in-law and daughter really have their hearts.

Yang Guozhong was naturally unwilling, and he had already listened to An Lushan's bragging, and also helped the round field and said: "Holy Hongfu, the horse and the princess are in ...... heart."

In the end, An Lushan was embarrassed directly, and everyone present said it, but he didn't say that he seemed to have no energy, after all, he was in the middle of what he said just now, and the horse was obviously looking for fault.

Emperor Li San happily also picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "You two have a heart, I will accept it first." ”

So the people in the hall saw such a scene, Xu Yuma toasted with the princess, Emperor Li San actually drank, yes, such a birthday banquet toast, the emperor generally does not drink, unless it is a major person, and obviously, Xu Yuma is counted as one.

The envoy from Japan was muttering in a low voice at this moment: "I heard that the "Journey to the West" was written by that Xu Horse, and I will have to stammer him later......" (to be continued......)
