Being stared at quietly and charmingly by Princess Gaoyang's watery, as if she could speak, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but whisper the Buddha's name, turned over slightly, and said softly.

"Princess Gaoyang is very polite, the poor monk is just a monk in the mountains, and he deserves such a big gift."

"Brother Yu is here again, tonight is a family banquet, there are not so many clichéd etiquette, Gao Yang salutes you as a junior, which is the right thing to do." With the Jinghe Dragon King being overtaken, Li Shimin's mental state was obviously much better, and he was even in a very good mood, and said with a smile.

With Li Shimin present, Princess Gaoyang didn't dare to be as presumptuous as just now, just like a good girl, echoing Li Shimin in a loud voice, and really like a gentle and obedient junior, treating Tang Sanzang very closely, but also with respect.

And Li Shimin was followed by many princes, princesses, and some concubines who were qualified to participate in the family banquet.

After Li Shimin's introduction one by one, Tang Sanzang can be said to have recognized them all over again, and the word "Uncle Huang" is even more lingering.

After tossing for a while, under Li Shimin's instructions, this family banquet officially began.

"Brother Yu, I understand that you are a monk and abstain from meat and alcohol, so this time I specially asked the imperial dining room to prepare good food and tea for you, can you taste it?"

After taking a seat, Li Shimin did not forget to invite merit and introduced to Tang Sanzang.

？？？

Tang Sanzang looked down at the dishes on his seat that looked the same as everyone else's, with meat and vegetables, all the colors and flavors.

Vegetarian food?

Tang Sanzang subconsciously moved his chopsticks and put a piece of white meat in his mouth, which was sweet and tender.

Bean curd?

This turned out to be white meat disguised with tofu.

"Royal brother? How does it feel? Li Shimin asked repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, it tastes great!" Tang Sanzang endured the depression in his heart, and said with a slightly moved face.

"Hahaha, it's good that my brother likes it, and I'm fortunate that there is such a capable person in my imperial dining room, who makes good use of tofu and other vegetables to make all kinds of tricks." Li Shimin looked at his royal brother who had collapsed in front of Mount Tai and his face did not change, and he was moved by this skill, and couldn't help but say happily.

"If the royal brother doesn't give up, you can also try other dishes, whether it is chicken, duck and fish, or delicacies from the mountains and seas, that capable person can use Zhai dishes to imitate lifelike, to confuse the real."

In this regard, Tang Sanzang kept a smile on his face, looking at the table full of food with color and aroma, but he had a feeling of "not knowing the taste of food".

Poor monk, in fact, he really doesn't mind meat, not to mention a few catties of wine, why doesn't Your Majesty give it a chance?

Originally, I thought that Tang Sanzang, who would have the opportunity to say "wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart", but suddenly felt that most of his interest had gone.

However, accustomed to maintaining the image of a high monk, Li Shimin and others did not see Tang Sanzang's thoughts at all, but thought that Master Sanzang had cultivated to a considerable level, and his demand for food was close to nothing.

It lasted until the moon hung in the middle of the day, and Li Shimin, who was in a good mood, ended this family banquet with endless pleasure.

"Come on, come on, Brother Yu, tonight we will sleep and talk about the past and the present." Li Shimin, who was already eight points drunk, walked in front of Tang Sanzang with a vain step, and wanted to hold Tang Sanzang with one hand, and said staggeringly.

As the saying goes, "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall", looking at Li Shimin's drunken appearance, Tang Sanzang, who was afraid that he would "drive drunk" at will, lowered his eyebrows and refused.

"Your Majesty has a heart, but the poor monk still needs to set off tomorrow to go to the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple to obtain the true scriptures, so it is inconvenient to talk about the past and the present."

However, Li Shimin, who was in a drunken state at the moment, didn't seem to understand Tang Sanzang's disgust, so he burped and continued.

"Brother Sanzang, please rest assured, I ...... I don't ...... It won't take up much of the royal brother's time, and it will ...... soon Soon it will be fine. ”

Faced with Li Shimin's lack of imperial etiquette, almost like a drunken madness, Tang Sanzang's handsome face couldn't help but twitch.

"Father~~~"

Just when Tang Sanzang was thinking about whether to secretly knock Li Shimin out and get out, Princess Gaoyang, who was staring at him with watery eyes from time to time, supported Li Shimin throughout the banquet and said in a soft and glutinous voice.

"Erchen is good at Buddhism in his life, but Erchen is dull, and many exquisite Buddhist principles are not very clear.

"Huh? A long drought is a dew??? Li Shimin opened his eyes a little hazy, looked at Gao Yang, who was the most well-behaved and intimate on weekdays, and said vaguely.

In this regard, Princess Gao Yang stuck out her tongue slightly, showed a pitiful expression, and continued. "But it is said that tomorrow Uncle Huang will leave the Tang Dynasty and go to the West Heaven to seek the true scriptures, which is a rare opportunity, so Erchen plans to take this opportunity to discuss Buddhism with Uncle Huang tonight."

"So, father, can you lend the imperial uncle to your son for one night?"

"No way!" Li Shimin shook his head and said vaguely. "Royal Brother...... Brother Yu needs to leave tomorrow, how can he let you mess around? ”

"Father ~ Emperor ~ You should give your son a minister......"

"No...... No way! ”

……

After being coquettish for a while, Princess Gaoyang saw that Li Shimin, who was almost obedient to her on weekdays, did not have the slightest intention of relenting, and simply turned to Tang Sanzang with blinked eyes and asked.

"Uncle Huang, what are your plans?"

"Right...... Manage...... Royal brother, you ...... What do you think? ”

？？？

Seeing the father and daughter re-burn the fire on their bodies, Tang Sanzang just wanted to whisper a Buddha name, and then set off to the west to learn scriptures as soon as possible.

It's just that if you really need to choose between a drunken and greasy middle-aged man and a girl I feel sorry for, Tang Sanzang naturally didn't hesitate to favor Princess Gaoyang.

"Amitabha, Your Majesty, my Buddha is merciful, Princess Gaoyang's heart to the Buddha is really commendable, if you can solve the confusion of Princess Gaoyang, the poor monk wastes a lot of energy, it's nothing."

"This ...... Okay, then it's up to the royal brother. With the main master's speech, Li Shimin did not stalemate, and instead warned Princess Gaoyang that "don't mess too much", and then let the chief eunuch support him and left.

"Let's go~" As Li Shimin left, Princess Gaoyang's well-behaved appearance immediately faded, and her charming eyes glanced back and forth at Tang Sanzang without concealment, and subconsciously licked her lips and said.

"My Imperial Uncle ~ Three ~ Tibetan ~ Master!"

"Alas~" After Tang Sanzang let out a long sigh, his face showed a trace of helplessness, and he asked softly while following Princess Gaoyang out of the palace.

"Does Princess Gao Yang still remember what the poor monk told you this morning?"

"What Buddha?"

"Color is emptiness, emptiness is color......"

As these fluttering words fell, in the brightly lit palace, Tang Sanzang's bald head that seemed to be natural lit up faintly.
