Chapter Seventy-Seven: It's All Here

"The emperor has arrived—"

At the end of the morning, the spring sun was shining, a sharp report from far to near, a few horse sounds, the men on the field bowed and dismounted, the people in the stands stood up, went around to the front of the case, looked left and right, and saw a few figures at the red carpet ladder in the northeast corner, among which a body of ochre yellow was eye-catching, and then listened to the sound of "swishing" of clothes.

Performed the solemn salute in a regular manner, if you ignore her movements that are a little stiff because of the tightness of her muscles, this etiquette is the most standard one in the stands.

"See Your Majesty."

Before Li Shimin sat down, a pair of well-behaved children followed behind him were led by Gong E, and went around to the east stand to find a seat, who are these two children, few of them are as unclear as the jade, after the death of the eldest grandson queen, the young Nine Emperor Prince Li Zhi and Princess Xincheng were taken by him to personally raise them, and when they saw it with their own eyes, they knew that the grace was not fake. On the contrary, it is the prince who is confined to the East Palace and cannot go out.

"Flat."

The silence around made the majestic voice even louder, and everyone waited quietly for a moment, almost as if the emperor was seated, and then straightened up one after another, stood up, and quickly glanced at the monarch behind the wine table covered with a bright yellow embroidered tablecloth in the east of the north stand, whether they could see clearly or clearly, they all turned their heads again.

"Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After more than two years, when I think about it, I can't remember the appearance of that monarch, but the amazing pressure and momentum brought by the other party's gestures made her remember it vividly, that is the majesty that a real monarch will have.

The emperor is difficult to see, if it weren't for the unpredictable world, in her life, I am afraid that she will only have the honor to see Long Yan once at the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet. Thanks to Li Tai's blessing, they were in the front, only two or three zhang away from Li Shimin, compared to others, they could only see one figure, but Yi Yu could see his face in full view, but she just glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and pulled the ten fingers that were retracted into her sleeves into her palm.

It was this person, and it was because of this Ming Monarch and Sage that her eldest brother died tragically.

The strangeness of the left jade, others can't see it, Li Tai is aware of it, he turned his head to look, and met Li Shimin's gaze, his eyelids trembled slightly, and everyone heard the emperor speak, and he was in a good mood.

"Li Tai, I know that you are so quiet, and you don't like to bow down, but in previous years, you only went down to run two laps in the spring to make a show, and it was really in vain that good riding skills."

So many princes and ministers were sitting, so they only picked Li Tai to say the first sentence, and called the name, but the cordiality in the words, obviously, Yu Yu suppressed the fluctuation of mood, sat next to Li Tai, and immediately noticed that hundreds of eyes were staring at him, even if they were far away, it also made people feel uncomfortable.

"Father smiled."

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled, swept the east stand again, and then asked the chief waiter: "Who hasn't arrived yet?" ”

Concubine Yang, who was sitting on Li Shimin's right hand, listened, and without waiting for the waiter to answer, she said softly:

"Gao Yang got up early and had a headache, so the concubine made the decision to let her rest in the palace."

Li Shimin nodded, didn't ask too much, and didn't say anything about whether he had invited a doctor or not, obviously, this princess was not as valued as when she was loved.

This attitude made the palace woman on his left hand side sluggish the movement of holding the wine glass, this is Wei Guifei, the head of the four concubines, not as well maintained as Concubine Yang, except for Shujing's appearance, she is already middle-aged.

"Why is there still one missing over there?" Li Shimin pointed to an empty seat next to Li Tai, which attracted everyone to see, and saw that Li Tai was sitting on top of the King of Chu, and there was an empty one below, but the next seat was the fifth prince Li You.

Yi Yu was secretly shocked, and confirmed that Li Shimin was so indulgent to Li Taifei, which said that it was a seat arranged for the convenience of speaking, but at this time, he asked knowingly, which made people look at it, and it was difficult to think about it without thinking about it.

"Back to the emperor, His Royal Highness King Wu has not yet sat down." The waiter replied, Concubine Yang didn't interject this time, and looked left and right at the venue, as if she was looking for something.

"Where did Li Ke go?" Li Shimin turned his head directly and asked Concubine Yang.

"Ke'er, he-"

"Father, the son is here"

When Yi Yu heard the sound and searched for it, he saw that among the men standing between the horses not far away, a person strode out, the handsome man wearing leather armor and armor, holding the Glaive in one hand, and wearing a green forehead band, who was not Li Ke.

"Don't blame the father, the sons came early, so I fought with them a few times."

Li Shimin didn't mean to blame, but asked him to come forward to speak, Concubine Yang watched from the side, her eyes inevitably showed a hint of pride, and the other concubines on the seat, except for Wei Guifei pinching the dragon's eye and eating, all looked at Li Ke with a smile, and looked like they were listening carefully to what the father and son were saying.

Almost the moment he saw Li Ke, Yi Yu remembered what happened in the Magenta Mansion last night, and felt sick to his stomach for a while, glanced at Li Tai, who was listening to Li Kuan's whispers sideways, and reached out to Duan Gong'e's full wine glass, but before he touched the cup, he took a big hand from the side to remove the cup, allowing her to take it empty.

"Drink tea."

Li Tai said a word, and the waiting Gong E hurriedly poured another cup of tea and served it, and Yu Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his chest, only to feel that this person also had eyes on the back of his head, so he held the teacup and treated it as a drink with a blank face, which was much more refreshing.

As soon as he put down the cup, he saw a figure walking in, but he heard two calls close to each other:

"I've seen the second emperor brother, the fourth emperor brother."

This tender little voice has a very high sugar content, Yi Yu turned his head, and saw a pair of children on the side, the boy is older, about ten years old, red lips and white teeth, eyebrows and eyes are a little timid, the girl is five or six years old, with a small round face, blinking a pair of big eyes, calling Li Tai, but tilting his head to look at Yu Yu, fleshy cheeks, looking at people itching to go up and pinch it.

"Haha, Qianqian come here, the second brother brought you something good."

Li Kuan spoke cordially, Li Qian immediately grinned, let go of the boy's hand, trotted forward, knelt down beside him, raised his head and looked at the adults who were more than half taller than her, Li Kuan went to pick out the cuffs, but did not take anything out, teasing her:

"It's called Brother Huang."

"Brother Huang."

"Does Qianqian miss the imperial brother?"

"Yes."

Really obedient, Yi Yu stared at the little head tied with a bean green ribbon, and felt fond of it, this huge palace, I am afraid that such a big child is pure, cute and clean.

Li Kuanle took out a palm-sized ball woven of green bamboo and gold wire from his sleeve, tied with a red rope on it, and shook it with the rope, and he could hear the sound of "呤呤啷動", which was very crisp and good, Li Qian reached out to reach it, but Li Kuan deliberately took it high, this little one stretched out his arm and couldn't touch the side, and when she withdrew her hand, Li Kuan lowered it again, so a few times, the nearby princes and princesses saw it, just laughed, and thought it was funny, Li Qian grabbed it a few times and didn't hold it, snorted, then turned his head, looked left and right, all of them were smiling faces, In the end, it fell on the face of Li Tai, who was the only one who was not smiling, and pointed at Li Kuan pitifully, and complained to Li Tai:

"Bully Qianqian."

The surroundings were quiet, what expressions on other people's faces, Yu Yu didn't see it, but she held back a smile, and when she saw Li Tai glancing at the little thing, she continued to drink as if she didn't see it, but she was really ruthless.

"Say that the second brother bullied you?" Li Kuan pretended to be angry, so he put away the small long bell, Li Qian turned her head and saw it, she was anxious, but she didn't cry or make trouble, she grabbed Li Kuan's sleeve with one hand to grab it, and she couldn't pull it, so she quickly turned her head again, swept the faces of people nearby, and found that only one was bent at the corner of her mouth, so she snorted at this fresh face, and said:

"Sister help Qianqian."

So Yi Yu's smile stiffened on her face, Li Kuan didn't seem to feel embarrassed, and she didn't have the slightest intention of taking out things to relieve Yu Yu, smiled at her, and continued to tease Li Qian, letting her be stared at by more than a dozen pairs of eyes.

This scene was embarrassing, she couldn't compete with Li Kuan like a child, if she said something, it didn't fit her identity, but she couldn't bear to reject that little thing, and her mind moved, so she turned her head sideways and threw a look of help at Li Tai.

Li Tai's eyes flashed, he turned his head to look at Li Kuan, and when he looked back, he glanced sideways at the stands not far away, just like that, Li Kuan immediately restrained his smile, took out the small long bell, stuffed it into Li Qian's hand, touched her head, and said:

"Alright, here you go."

Li Qian took it happily and played with it in her hand, the remnant jade was relieved, and she bent her eyes at Li Tai without hesitation, and at a critical time, she was still reliable.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoxiao."

The little thing jumped out word by word, and Yu Yu's brain looped for a while, only to know that this was calling her, and she couldn't figure out why she was called "little sister", and temporarily ignored Li Qianxi's that she was not Li Tai's business, and subconsciously smiled at Li Qian, she didn't care about being called a "nickname", but someone cared.

"Qianqian, how can you not be polite, this is Miss Lu, not a little sister."

Li Qian played with the xiaolongling bell in her hand, looked up at Princess Changle, freed up one hand, pointed to the corner of her mouth, and said glutinously: "She is smiling, she is smiling." ”

It turned out to be this "laugh", Yi Yu understood, and felt more and more that this little girl was interesting, and was guessing which princess this was, so he heard Changle say a little seriously:

"Then you can't shout and scream and be heard, only if you are a rude person who does not know how to be polite."

Impudent people? This is something to imply, Yi Yu glanced sideways at Princess Changle's serious sister's expression, and then looked at the little thing with a broken face, who was looking at her pitiful eyes, Yi Yu didn't speak, just quickly winked at the little princess, showing a smile, causing her dark little face to light up again.
