Li Xun slept very deeply this night, and it was also very fragrant, if it wasn't for the palace maid who came to call him to get up and clean up, Li Xun would have been able to sleep at the palace banquet at night.

Stretch your waist, the wine is not very sober, although it is not uncomfortable, and the dizzy person is also lazy.

After freshening up, Li Xun changed into a new dress, looked left and right in the dressing mirror, looked up and down, the person was still quite handsome, but this bright yellow Taishang Huang costume made people look older than ten years, how did Li Xun look at how he was not satisfied, it was much worse than the spirit when he wore the dragon robe, but he could only complain and complain in his heart, who made him now the emperor instead of the emperor, there are rules for wearing on this occasion, how can he follow his mind?

Li Xun kept pouting in the mirror, and then sat in the chair and waited for the palace banquet to start, and after waiting, he began to feel sleepy again, and little by little, he fell asleep again.

When Mingcheng brought people over to welcome the emperor, as soon as he came in, he saw that the emperor was there like a chicken pecking rice, and the eunuch next to him was about to sing loudly, but was stopped by Mingcheng.

Mingcheng approached Li Xun, circled around Li Xun twice, and then squatted in front of Li Xun's legs, looked up at Li Xun and nodded.

Mingcheng's feelings for Li Xun are a little complicated, before he met his master and mother, he also looked forward to his father's love, in order to let Li Xun look at him a few more times, Mingcheng tried his best to show his well-behaved, but every time he met Li Xun's eyes did not stop on him more.

Mingcheng can't say that he is not disappointed, although Li Xun is also indifferent to his other brothers and sisters, but those brothers and sisters are all mothers, not to mention that they plan for their children, they also try their best to compete for favor, and from time to time they can always invite Li Xun to meet each other.

Mingcheng felt that among several brothers and sisters, he was the one who was most disliked by his father. is like the arrogant and arrogant Princess Yaxian, who often shows off in front of him and is praised by her father for being well-behaved, or what her father rewarded her. is the only one who is rewarded by his father, and everyone has it together, but he didn't leave him behind.

Ming Cheng never thought that one day when Li Xun wanted to be free, he would think about passing the throne to him, let alone sending him to King Ning Yuan in order for him to grow up well.

A child without his mother's protection, in a cannibalistic place like the palace, if Li Xun took more care of him, the previous persecution against him would not be so easy.

Ming Cheng is actually still grateful to Li Xun, even if his admiration for him is not as strong as before, but he can't be indifferent to his intentions, that is, the throne is not what he wants, but in order to let him inherit the throne when someone can protect him, Li Xun has done a lot of what he should do.

It's just that he still doesn't comment on Li Xun's wayward approach for the sake of freedom.

Li Xun nodded for a while, but he couldn't sleep, and when he opened his eyes in confusion, he saw a child squatting in front of his legs, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe.

Li Xun held his eyelids and looked carefully, suddenly smiled, and stretched out his hand to pull Ming Cheng into his arms, "Son, do you miss your father?" ”

Ming Cheng's nose was sour, but he stubbornly held back his tears, sat on Li Xun's lap and said, "My son asks my father for peace." ”

Li Xun couldn't say what he felt, Mingcheng was also the child he was looking forward to being born, but he was bored by Chen Shuyi's pampering and pride, but this child was his favorite among the children, and he was the eldest son, so he naturally had deeper feelings.

It's just that in the absence of his mother's protection, even if he was raised in the name of Concubine Xian, the feelings that were not born by himself are always different, Concubine Xian is not very close to Ming Cheng, so many people in the palace are staring, if he attaches too much importance to Ming Cheng, he will definitely make trouble for Ming Cheng, so although he pays attention to the child in his heart, on the surface, people look at it but because of Ming Cheng's biological mother and was rejected by the emperor.

But after all, it is his bloodline, if he doesn't care, it's impossible, otherwise he won't send the child to Ningyuan Wangfu to raise, it's nothing more than to let Mingcheng and He Lou have a relationship with him from afar, and if something happens, He Louyuan can help.

It's just because of Chen Shuyi's relationship that Li Xun didn't have much hope, but he didn't want Mingcheng and Ningyuan Wangfu to get along so well, so Li Xun dared to make such a big decision when he was hot-headed.

It's just that now that I look back and think about it, he did it, such a young child took on the responsibility of a country, even if He Lou was far away to assist, it was really dangerous, but it was too late to regret it, and there was no reason to give up the throne again.

Fortunately, nothing has gone to the worst, and now that he's back, he has to help with some children.

patted Mingcheng on the back, "Mingcheng, there are no outsiders here, let's talk about our father and son!" ”

Although Mingcheng is young, he is already mature, and it is impossible for the emperor to treat him as a real child after another year.

As for Li Xun, his temperament was originally jumped, but after becoming the emperor, he was suppressed in front of people, and now he has been running outside for nearly a year, and after coming into contact with different people, those things in his nature have been exposed.

Ming Cheng looked at his father, who was very different from before, and nodded subconsciously, always feeling that he should also talk to Li Xun about this kind of topic between men.

The eunuch and the maid retreated very interestingly, leaving only the father and son who were 'talking' in the room.

The time is coming soon, the officials and the family members brought to the table separately, just waiting to see what is the difference between this year's palace banquet and usual, a few years ago when Princess Ningyuan was still Miss Cousin, the spicy and refreshing hot pot feast is very unforgettable, although it is not difficult to eat spicy hot pot now, but it is not Princess Ningyuan who brought people to rectify, I always feel that the taste is not so authentic, even if the base of the hot pot is from the Ningyuan Palace, it seems that something is missing.

It is rare that this year's New Year's banquet was led by Princess Ningyuan to rectify it, and they are naturally looking forward to it.

In the early years, although there would be a New Year's banquet in the palace during the New Year, it had never been on such a scale, first, the treasury was not as abundant as it is now, and second, there were not so many delicacies to look forward to, but it was just a formality, which was like the ministers gathered at this time no longer talked about state affairs, but talked about what novel things they could eat today.

The dinner was ready, and the exquisite dishes were placed on the table, just waiting for the emperor's order to start the palace banquet.

But wait and wait, the cooked dishes have changed from steaming to cold, and I haven't heard the emperor's dishes, the imperial chefs are frowning one by one, some dishes can be eaten cold, and some dishes are only delicious when they are hot, and now the dishes are cold, but it doesn't affect the taste and texture?

But if you go back to the pot and heat it again, the presentation of the dishes will also be destroyed, not to mention that the heat of many dishes is just right, and it will be much worse after heating.

Fortunately, Ling Xiaorou may have foreseen this before, except for a few fried dishes and cold dishes, most of them are extremely laborious jar dishes, like Buddha jumping over the wall is a rare delicacy, and now there are still jars stewed, just waiting for the food outside to be served in the jar and then out of the altar to fill the bowl.

With hot dishes, those cold hot dishes are not so eye-catching, and there are delicious dishes like Buddha jumping over the wall, and generally don't pay much attention to stir-fried hot dishes.

It wasn't until the time of the palace banquet was half an hour late as expected that a eunuch came outside to deliver the food, and seeing his hurried and helpless appearance, he was obviously in a hurry.

Ling Xiaorou waited in the Empress Dowager's palace until the dinner began, and then sat with the Empress Dowager, and sat at the table according to her status, Ling Xiaorou was the princess of Ningyuan, with a noble status, even if she was young, she still sat in the first seat except for the royal family.

The three children and Duan Jin'er were all arranged to sit at a table with the rest of Li Xun's children. Li Xun didn't have many children, and he sat with Yurou and them to barely make up a table.

After Ming Cheng ascended the throne before, Li Xun's rest of the sons were given a knighthood and moved out of the palace to open another mansion, and their mothers also moved out together, but they were not qualified to attend the annual banquet because of their low status.

A group of children sitting together, you can immediately feel that the atmosphere is a little weird, although they are all small children, but Mingcheng's brothers who live outside the palace are obviously a little cowardly, and they are dodging and dodging when they see people, as if there are man-eating beasts in the palace.

And the princesses who have been living in the palace are also different, Yaxian is proudly raising her chin, like a peacock, and snorted coldly when she saw the three brothers and sisters of Yurou, although she was taught by Concubine Fang not to offend the children of Ningyuan Wang's family, but Yaxian is not very old, and the city government is not high, and she can't help but be angry when she sees someone she hates.

Fortunately, the three brothers and sisters of Yurou didn't want to see her in general, they sat at the table and waited for the food to be served, and the three brothers and sisters sat in a pile, which was as cute as a pink carving, so that the princesses and the little prince on the opposite side couldn't help but peek.

Although Yu Rou is the emperor's righteous sister, it is equivalent to their righteous sister, but doesn't the righteous sister still have two elder brothers? The princesses thought of the rumors that had been circulating in the palace, and they all stared at Xiu Jin Xiuyi shyly and smiled.

It's normal for Yaxian's disgusting temperament to be bored, but they are all gentle and lovely, who dares to guarantee that they can't make the brothers tempted?

So Xiu Jin and Xiu Yi put their words in the middle, and sat two princesses next to Xiu Jin and Xiu Yi, who looked a little older than Xiu Jin Xiuyi, but the calculating little expression on their faces was like adults, which made the brothers can't help but be vigilant.

It is said that such a young child can't sit still, but since he sat down, this table has been rare and calm, and occasionally a good princess and the little prince talk with a low voice so as not to disturb others, which is very unaccustomed to Yurou and others who are used to the field.

Seeing that the three children were like thorns under their buttocks, Duan Jin'er, who was squeezed far away by the princesses, pursed her lips and smiled, and after laughing, she grabbed the melon seeds like everyone else.

How could she not understand the plans of those princesses? But the three children of the He Lou family don't look small, they are all human spirits, and they will never sell themselves easily, and she has nothing to worry about.
