A crimson cardigan robe is gorgeous and solemn, and the treasure pattern is splendid, appearing and disappearing with the light. The cuffs are covered with delicate ochre yellow embroidery, and the gold belt around the waist is inlaid with warm white jade, and each gold belt is flowing with endless flowers and leaves, and each piece of white jade is engraved with a lifelike flying dragon in the sky, and even the beard is clearly visible.

The crown of dark hair on the top of his head resembled a towering mountain, entrusting all his weight to the man. A straight white hosta passed through it, and a scarlet ribbon was wrapped around it, and the ends of the red satin hung down long from either side of the man's cheek, and near his ear fell a pearl the size of a fingernail, reminding him to listen to advice.

It was the first time for Li Longye to see such a glamorous side of the third brother. When he was a child, although Aya was the emperor, he was actually under house arrest in the palace, and he had no power or intention to dress too gorgeously; When my grandmother was in power, although they were the kings of the county, they were quite stretched thin in terms of money, especially when the third brother was married not long ago, the third brother himself was barely enough, and he had to secretly take care of the third sister-in-law's family; Later, Zhongzong came back from Fangzhou, and their situation improved, but the third brother still focused on comfort in terms of dressing, although there were requirements for styles, the materials were the most ordinary, and the colors might be slightly brighter, but they were by no means gorgeous.

And now that the third brother is the crown prince, there is a big banquet in the palace, so he naturally has to come in a dress.

At this moment, the third brother was talking to several important ministers very humbly, and his smile faded away from the flamboyance and arbitrariness he was familiar with, and tended to be calm and mature. When Li Longye saw such a scene, he was about to buy the foot that had crossed the threshold of the temple, but he involuntarily lifted it into the air and stopped, and stopped moving.

Li Chengqi and the others all glanced at the younger brother strangely, and followed the younger brother's gaze, only Li Chengqi said lightly: "Come in." ”

At this time, Li Longji had already noticed them. He greeted him with a smile, and without waiting for the brothers to salute the monarch and ministers, he first made a long bow to Li Chengqi and Li Chengyi: "San Lang has seen the eldest brother and the second brother. ”

Li Chengqi and the others hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and after Li Longji got up, Fang Shen sighed and said, "The prince is fine." ”

When the ministers saw this scene, they praised the sage for teaching his son, and the prince and the kings had a deep affection, which was really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty.

Li Longfan bowed to Li Longji as early as when Li Chengqi saluted, and at the same time kept pulling Li Longye's clothes, but the people only stood stunned and ignored them at all. It wasn't until Li Longfan was about to die that Li Longye bent over with an awkward face, and just bent down a little before he was stopped by Li Longji: "Okay, look at your appearance." Saying that, he glanced at Li Chengqi and the other brothers, "In the future, when we meet brothers, there will only be brothers' gifts, and there will be no courtesies of kings and ministers, so we must not forget." ”

Li Chengqi smiled lightly and nodded, but he was not polite, and Li Chengyi and the others had no opinion.

Subsequently, the four princesses of Li Chengqi and others came forward to meet the crown prince and the crown princess. are all relatives who have lived next to each other for many years, and when they speak, they have no strangeness due to their identity. The five brothers entered the palace together, and the five concubines were the same, smiling and smiling, leisurely and beautiful, which made the ministers admire.

When Li Dan saw such a scene, he was also deeply gratified in his heart.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven had arrived, the royal family and hundreds of officials, who had been waiting in the palace for a long time, all walked to the open space in front of the table and stood in front of the banquet under the leadership of the crown prince Li Longji and saluted the Son of Heaven.

As soon as Li Dan was about to open his mouth to let everyone be exempted, he heard Princess Taiping Yanran, who was accompanying him, say: "Hachiro said, you are flat." ”

There was a sudden silence in the Taiji Hall, and it was Li Longji who answered "yes" first, and then everyone slowly straightened up and looked ahead more or less. I saw that in the emperor's ceremonial guard dominated by ochre yellow, a purple and red figure appeared in it very abruptly, and that person was standing beside the Son of Heaven, and even the noble concubine and the virtuous concubine could only retreat behind.

Besides Princess Taiping of Zhenguo, who else could that person be?

Li Dan looked at his sister helplessly, and wanted to blame, but it can be seen that his sister is smiling proudly with her head held high, just like when he was a child, he softened. Only shook his head, he led the people behind him into the Taiji Hall slowly, and as soon as he sat down on the main seat, he heard his sister say again: "Sister-in-law, can I sit here?" ”

Concubine Doulu looked indifferent, didn't even look at Princess Taiping and Li Dan, and turned around and retired. Li Chengyi was just about to take a step to stop him, but Li Chengqi held his wrist lightly.

"Hachiro, my sister-in-law's temper hasn't changed at all." Princess Taiping said as she sat down on the seat to the left of the emperor.

Li Dan glanced at the back of Concubine Doulu fixedly, and sighed: "Taiping, you are really rude this time." ”

Princess Taiping smiled: "I just want to be closer to Hachiro, the concubine is not the queen, this position is not hers, concubine Xian, sister-in-law, am I right?" ”

Concubine Wang Xian chuckled lightly and said, "The princess is very right, but the princess is not the queen, I don't know ...... position" Without waiting for Princess Taiping to answer, she raised her voice and said, "Come on, put my seat three steps away on the right behind the saint, to show respect and inferiority." The positions on both sides of the saint belong to Queen Liu and Concubine Dou De, and the princess of Zhenguo is invited to return to her seat, which is already the head of the Son of Heaven on the left, under one person, and above ten thousand, is the princess still dissatisfied? ”

Since Li Dan ascended the throne, Princess Taiping has indeed reversed Zhongzong's obscure attitude when Taoguang was in the time, and has become more and more domineering and unrestrained, just like Wu Cao, who has ascended to the throne of the queen of heaven and called the "two saints" with Emperor Li Zhi, the trespass has long been commonplace, but Li Dan always let it go, and no one dared to say anything to her - Song Jing had just come back not long ago, and Princess Taiping had not yet bumped into his hands, so this princess Wang Xian, who had been unknown, became the first person who dared to deal with Princess Taiping face to face.

Li Longye couldn't help but laugh and tremble, if it weren't for Li Longfan's weight in recent days, he really couldn't stop it.

Princess Taiping obviously didn't expect that Wang Fangmei, who has always been easy-going and smiling all day long, would also have today's style, and she really underestimated her!

Without the instructions of others, how dare she treat herself like this? Could it be that on weekdays, Hachiro complained about himself to her? Seeing that Li Dan did not have any reproach or words for Concubine Wang Xian, but looked at herself with some embarrassment, Princess Taiping Shi Shiran stood up and said angrily: "I just made a joke, the concubine and sister-in-law turned around and left, and the concubine and sister-in-law were even more sonorous, leaving no face, as if I didn't know, these two positions should have belonged to Queen Liu and ...... Dou Defei's. The souls of the two sisters-in-law died early, and they didn't have time to enjoy the blessings, and these two positions were vacant for the two of them, as a matter of course. ”

Princess Taiping said and walked back to her place and sat down, seeing her concubine, King Wu Youji staring at her disapprovingly, Princess Taiping's eyes rippled, but she still stiffened her neck and said: "It's just Hachiro, there is a difference between wives and concubines, how can you live together with your husband?" ”

The hall was quiet again.

Song Jing had already frowned, if it weren't for Yao Yuanchong quietly grabbing his belt, he was afraid that he would have already been out of the ranks. Song Jing looked at Yao Yuanchong in puzzlement, and saw that Yao Yuanchong first closed his eyes and shook his head slightly, and then looked at the prince at the lower right of the Son of Heaven. Song Jing immediately turned his eyes to look over, and saw the prince with a casual shallow smile, and he didn't care at all, so he was even more puzzled.

Yao Yuanchong rolled his eyes helplessly and ignored Song Jing anymore.

The ministers didn't dare to act rashly, and many of the military attachés over there hadn't reacted to what Princess Zhenguo meant, and then looked at the emperor's relatives and relatives, and they were also silent.

Li Longye didn't want to laugh for a long time, he just wanted to go and lift his aunt's table. Li Longfan only looked at Li Longye intently, and he was satisfied if he could stop his younger brother from being stupid. Li Chengyi first glanced at his eldest brother, then turned his eyes to look at San Lang, and saw that both of them were smiling lightly, so he was a little relieved.

Sure enough, Li Dan finally retracted his expression at this point, and said in a deep voice: "I have my own plans for this matter." As he spoke, he instructed the eunuchs beside him, "Please take the table of the secretaries." ”

After such an intriguing verbal sword, the banquet finally began. Because it is still in the mourning period of Zhongzong, there is no too grand singing and dancing at the banquet, and the music is also peaceful and peaceful, which is really not the style of the Tang Dynasty. After a while, everyone in the hall felt that the atmosphere was too calm, so they just sat here, forced a smile, and whitewashed the peace, which was too boring.

At this time, Yao Yuanchong had already whispered to Song Jing, which reassured Song Jing, and Li Chengqi also successfully appeased Li Longye, and there was some strange silence in the palace, which finally quietly subsided, but Princess Taiping seemed to be drunk, and said: "Hachiro, don't you think it's just like this, it's so boring?" ”

Li Dan thought so, and he could see that the ministers were only afraid that they would all think like this, and who would make the people of the Tang Dynasty idle. Hearing Princess Taiping say this, she must have an idea in her heart, Li Dan straightened up and said, "What good idea does Taiping have?" ”

Princess Taiping leaned on Wu Youji's upright and upright body, spontaneously pulled off a golden hairpin with flowers and birds entwined with branches, and played: "Hachiro still remembers, in the first New Year after A-Niang ascended the throne, what kind of programs were there in the Taiji Palace?" ”

Li Dan didn't need to think about it at all, so he could blurt out: "There are hundreds of birds dancing towards the phoenix, the golden lotus Buddha's mother song, the Lanling entering the array song, and the ministers should make a couplet poem...... At that time, Shangguan Zhaorong presided over the selection, and there were ...... And ......"

Princess Taiping got up, smiled and thrust the golden hairpin into Wu Youji's head: "And you and my sons and daughters wish A-Niang a long life and a full house of children and grandchildren...... These children in my family, except for a few heels and a smile from Bo A-Niang, had no other strengths, where were these little Langjun like the Hachiro family, but they were already talented at a young age. Needless to say, Da Lang has played the flute very well since he was a child, and Erlang is equipped with a guqin, which is quiet and natural, which is very good. Shiro has just learned to walk, and Goro is still swaddling, otherwise he would have to fight for Hachiro. ”

After a pause, Princess Taiping said: "But the most memorable thing is the song "Longevity Girl" composed by San Lang. Saburo was only five or six years old at the time, dressed as a man, singing and dancing at the same time, and even the head of the teaching department said that he was very talented and definitely a good musician. ”

Li Dan frowned slightly. Li Longji is a prince, and now he is still a prince, and he is not an actor, isn't it a good job to master the talent and ability of musicians? Thinking like this, he listened to Princess Taiping continue: "Why don't we revisit it now?" ”

Li Dan said: "The prince of a dignified country, how can he do the things of a trickster? ”

The curvature of Princess Taiping's lips became a little deeper: "Who said that the prince was allowed to act?" As the capital of the country, the prince's status is precious, let's revisit it for fun, and I don't dare to insult the prince. I mean, although the prince is not successful, he can let someone replace the prince to play, in this entire palace, regardless of image or identity, I think the most suitable person is none other than Xiao Nei Shi, who is next to the prince, what does Hachiro think? ”

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
