Chapter 391: Birthday Banquet
Tonight, the Liangyi Hall was very lively, and all the ministers above the five grades in Beijing were present. In cooperation with the female dependents, the military generals of this Eastern Crusade against Goguryeo were listed as the military generals, which was borrowed to celebrate the prince's birthday, because the emperor personally mentioned in the early dynasty that when Yu Yu accompanied Li Tai to the scene, the banquet was already full.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess to One"
"Meet the Prince, meet the Crown Princess."
Yi Yu led Li Tai into the brightly lit hall, and eighty percent of the people at the banquet stood up and saluted respectfully, even if they all lowered their heads, Yi Yu could feel that many eyes were on her bulging belly.
"No courtesy." Li Tai's sleeve robe was raised, and he walked to the seat on the left hand side of the main hall with the remaining jade, and the golden throne on the jade steps was reserved for the emperor.
On Li Tai's following seats, in turn, Li Kuan, the king of Chu, Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li Wei, the king of Qi, sat far away.
Yi Yu shook her head at Changle, Gao Yang and other elderly princesses sitting in the back row, Princess Changle was used to having a cold face towards her, Yu Yu didn't care, one hand to protect her waist, and the other hand to support Li Tai's arm and sit down.
"Fourth brother, congratulations!" Li Yi didn't wait for Li Tai to sit down, he arched his hands and smiled happily, his eyes scratched from the stomach of the jade... In the past, I don't know whether it was Li Tai's birthday congratulations or the pregnant jade.
Nodding slightly to him, Li Tai took the wine glass, and Ah Sheng, who was kneeling behind the two, bent down and poured it forward.
Li Ke squinted his eyes and smiled sincerely: "It is said that my brother and sister went to Dingzhou to find you, why did you take her off the battlefield, tsk, such a dangerous thing, Wan Hao people came back safely." Li Tai raised his wine glass towards Li Ke, raised his head and drank it without answering.
Li Ke was bored, his smile did not decrease, and he turned his head to talk to Li Wei, and Li Kuan picked up the wine glass and went to salute Li Tai.
Yi Yu smiled at Zhao Pingrong beside him across Li Kuan, moved back and sat half a foot, holding the hand stove and talking to Zhao Pingrong in a low voice.
There is a court music class playing music at the banquet, I don't know who chose the tune" Ding Ding Bang, lower her voice with Zhao Pingrong not to say, the tune is not what Yi Yu likes, two times in a row was beaten by the drum to speak, seeing that Zhao Pingrong also frowned, Yi Yu beckoned to summon the chief manager who was waiting not far away.
"Please show the princess."
"Let them change to a lighter tune, don't be so noisy."
"Yes."
The emperor hasn't come yet, taking advantage of this time, everyone is next to each other, and they have left the table to congratulate Li Tai in front of him.
Yi Yu looked at the appearance of everyone in his eyes, who was the greeting, who was the rudder who saw the wind and who was sincere, and he could probably be clear about eight points.
After a while, the emperor arrived, and as soon as the royal car waved, he heard the news from afar, and the people in the hall got up, put down the wine glass and hoopsticks, and leaned over to salute and wait.
"The Emperor has arrived"
"The ministers will meet the emperor."
"Erchen meets the emperor."
"The concubine visited the emperor.
All kinds of prayers sounded one after another in the temple, not very neat, but full of respect.
"No courtesy, sit down, tonight is the prince's birthday, and the secretaries don't have to be stubborn."
Li Shimin's pace was slightly sluggish, and he was surrounded by two radiant concubines and sat on the throne, and first went to talk to Li Tai: "I heard that you still live in Furong Garden?" Your East Palace has been empty for almost a year, and if you don't come back to the palace early, aren't you afraid of falling dust? ”
It was quiet below, and no one knew if there was something in the emperor's joke.
Li Tai said: "Return to my father, and my son will return to the palace in a few days." ”
Li Shibi nodded and looked at the Yu Yu again, his eyes fell on her stomach, and said, "How is your body?" ”
Yi Yu bowed his head, sat up on his knees, and was gentle.
"Take care of it, Li Taixu is over thirty years old, and he has no children so far, it's really not like it, you, who are the crown princess, should consider and examine yourself, I hate the most pampered and arrogant people."
Li Shimin reprimanded the widow lightly and severely, and the words were not too ugly, but on a day like today, he had already given the face of the widow in public, expressing his dislike for her, the crown princess.
The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly changed, and Yi Yu pressed Li Tai's hand under the table, and replied respectfully: "The emperor taught me a lesson." ”
"Hehe, Your Majesty, just talking about this, let the concubine remember" dare to interject at this time, the woman in the harem, there is only one concubine Yang: "Some time ago, the concubine's sister and the concubine made a lot of effort to select a few young ladies, thinking that the princess was pregnant, how could the prince be able to do it without a servant around him, so he pretended to be a flattery, and sent it to the princess yesterday, and he thought that he would be brought back on the same day, what should you do, the palace people replied that the princess disliked the concubines and meddled a few things." ”
Concubine Yang covered her mouth and smiled, in comparison, the young concubine sitting in the second seat on the other side of Li Shimin looked quite honest.
"Is there such a thing?" Li Shimin asked about Yi Yu, his brows furrowed, if Yu Yu confessed, I don't know if it would make Long Yan displeased, after all, Concubine Yang said this, and at a later point, she could barely get a disrespectful charge.
"It was Erchen who ordered not to disturb her recuperation, presumably when it came to the palace, it was miscommunicated." Lee Tae-do.
When everyone present heard him protect him like this, they once again saw the rumored prince's love for the princess.
As soon as Yi Yu heard Li Tai speak, he obediently shut up, inadvertently glanced at the concubine on the other side of the emperor, and was surprised to find that it was Lu Shuqing.
Li Tai opened his mouth, Li Shimin didn't pursue it anymore, and when he heard the music in the west corner stopped, he picked up the wine bottle and saluted the ministers: "The destruction of Goguryeo, the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, I am very pleased, and the secretaries and I have respected all the soldiers!" ”
So the guests at the banquet got up for the third time tonight, and after toasting, the banquet officially began, without exception, there was a dance first, and a group of graceful dancers shook their long shawls and dangled around.
Yi Yu saw half of it, began to feel sleepy, usually she can sleep until the evening with a nap, this afternoon is used to dress up, the weather is cold, simmering on the fire is easy to doze off.
lowered her head and yawned, took out a small bottle from her cuff and put it under the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and when she woke up, she didn't eat a bite of the food on the table, not that she had no appetite, but that she was not at ease with the food in the palace.
Time passed like this, everyone drank to their heart's content, and Yu Yu was dry, watching three songs and dances, and then waiting for an interesting program sword dance.
The jade of the sword dance has seen a lot, and the best scene in my memory is the one that Cheng Xiaofeng wore a big red robe in the back of the Wei Mansion many years ago, and today this set is ingenious, more than ten dancers dressed as military generals are women, and the wooden sword in their hands is brushed with gold paint, three or five vertical and horizontal, turning over and splitting under the beat of the drum, the corners of the clothes are flying, the mouth is screaming, chanting war songs, this scene is very exciting.
Everyone was sucked out of their eyeballs, and Yi Yu looked at it with relish for a while before turning his head and smiling at Li Tai: "This is good-looking." ”@。
