Chapter 581: The Banquet Officially Begins

Just as Li Shen was explaining the matter to Wang Xuance, Fang Xuanling and others came together.

Li Shen hurriedly greeted him.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Ji." The crowd saluted.

"Oh, you don't have to be polite, you are all the elders of my Tang Dynasty, and you are brothers and sisters with me.

You're all uncles of this king. Li Shen said with a smile.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Everyone waved their hands one after another.

"I've seen Uncle Huang."

"I've seen my uncle."

"I've seen Liang Guogong."

"I've seen the Duke of E"

"I've seen ....."

Li Shen returned the salute to the people who came one by one, these were all people close to his father.

It was only in the end that Li Shen returned the salute symbolically to Gao Shilian:

"I've seen Shen Guogong."

This made Gao Shilian a little unhappy, with his status, even if he couldn't rank in front of Li Xiaogong,

At least he had to be in front of Fang Xuanling, but Li Shen was the last to talk to him.

This shows disrespect for him.

But he couldn't show it yet, and he seemed a little narrow-minded, because most of these people were old people from the Qin Palace.

No one is below him in terms of merit, but he just feels uncomfortable.

After Li Shen welcomed these old men in, he turned to Xue Rengui at the door and said:

"Rengui, let our people cheer up, don't go wrong,

If something goes wrong at this time, the king will be affected.

All suspicious persons are allowed to be arrested first, and if they resist, they will be killed.

If something happens, the king will bear it. ”

"Yes! Rajah. Xue Rengui immediately received the order.

After instructing Li Shen to return to the third floor, he saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sitting there with two children in their arms.

Seeing Li Shen coming back, he looked up and asked:

"Done?"

"Yes, Ayah. The people have arrived, so Aya should move downstairs. Li Shen said in a low voice.

Li Shimin nodded, and went downstairs with the child in his arms.

"The saint arrives ~~~~" Wang De stood at the top of the stairs and shouted,

The cacophony of voices below immediately fell silent, and everyone stood up and looked to the second floor.

I saw Li Shimin holding the child and walking out. Next to the eldest grandson queen,

He was followed by several princes, as well as Li Xiaogong and other clan kings.

"Your Majesty. See Queen Mother. ”

"Well, excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Sit down, all princes, for today is the day when King Ji will give a feast for his children.

You don't have to be restrained, it should have been in the 100 days,

But King Ji was inspecting the various roads for the imperial court at that time, so it was delayed.

Today's banquet, you Aiqing can come, I am very relieved, let us monarchs and ministers have fun together, not drunk and not return. ”

Li Shimin gave a passionate speech.

"Your Majesty and grandson." The crowd was also very popular,

It's just that he was slandered in his heart, when did King Ji go to inspect, didn't he say that he would go to Lingnan to play?

And who dares not to come today, you still don't wear small shoes?

Li Shimin sat down and nodded at Li Shen, who nodded at the stone in the corner of the second floor.

"The auspicious time has come, the feast is ~~~~~" (Tomato Novel Free Reading)

With the roar of the stone, dozens of maidservants carried plates and interspersed the crowd.

Li Shen mouthed Lu Dingniang Nunu beside him, and Lu Dingniang immediately came to Li Shimin's side.

"Aye, it's time to eat soon, don't let these two children affect Aye, let's do it."

Li Shimin nodded and handed the child to Lu Dingniang, and Lan Yu'er also took the child from the hands of Empress Eldest Sun.

On the dishes, Li Shimin looked at this table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and sighed in his heart.

Who can be so luxurious, King Ji is the first in the world.

Not only are they rare varieties, but they are also full of color and flavor.

"Come, all the kings drink with me, may the country and the people be safe!"

"The country is prosperous!" The crowd raised their glasses and sang.

After that, the banquet officially began.

The third floor is a place for banquets for female dependents, and the families of officials above the fifth rank are here.

Because Empress Eldest Sun, as her mother, needs to be on the second floor with Li Shimin, so Concubine Wei and Wu Meiniang are responsible for entertaining here.

Of course, it is mainly Wu Meiniang who is responsible for entertaining, how could Wei Guifei, as a concubine, take the initiative to entertain them.

"Oh, Wu Niangzi is really a blessing, this time for the birth of a little Langjun for King Ji's mansion, you see that His Royal Highness King Ji is happy."

"Yes, look at today's pomp, no one in Chang'an City can match, His Royal Highness King Ji is really good to Wu Niangzi."

Many people began to praise Wu Meiniang, although Wu Meiniang was only the side lady of Ji Wangfu,

But people gave birth to the first child of Ji Wangfu, and this credit is very great.

In ancient times, there has always been a saying that the female protagonist is inside the male protagonist and the male protagonist is outside, and everyone present can be said to be the noblewomen of the upper class.

They will associate with different people to strengthen their husbands' relationships and maintain the glory of the family.

Many officials also use their own wives to climb up to their superiors or other colleagues.

For example, poetry meetings, gatherings, flower viewing and lake tours.

And just like today, there are large-scale banquets, and the most active ones here are the wives of the fifth and fourth rank officials.

They are busy running between high-ranking officials and wives for their husbands, flattering, and striving to be able to climb the relationship.

praised Mrs. Wu Meiniang, their main purpose was to climb up to Concubine Wei who was sitting there smiling all the time.

The dishes were ready, and Wei Guifei smiled and said:

"You're welcome, today is the day when Shen'er is happy to have a noble son, so you don't have to be restrained.

I would like to toast you with a glass of water and wine. He drank it all down.

The other ladies also stood up and drank their glasses of wine.

At this time, Lu Dingniang and Lan Yu'er came back with the child, and Wei Guifei hurriedly took it over happily.

I haven't hugged it well today, it has always been Li Shimin and Empress Changsun who have been hugging.

For her, it doesn't matter if she is a concubine or a concubine, she is her eldest grandson anyway.

So I like it very much.

Everyone praised Xiao Langjun for being like Li Shen, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a dignified appearance.

"Mother, Lang Jun said that these two little guys are too noisy, let the two of them come here to watch, so as not to affect Your Majesty." Lu Dingniang said.

"Okay, you go to the front to accompany you, here you can be me and Mei Niang, don't lose your courtesy.

Tell Shen'er that today is a day of great joy, don't mess around. Wei Guifei explained.

Her son is too unreliable, messing around all day long, regardless of the occasion, and reminding him from time to time that he can't turn the sky upside down.

"Yes, Princess." Lu Dingniang agreed.

Lan Yu'er also handed the Xixi in her hand to Li Mengjiang who came over.

Li Shimin was happy today, regardless of the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, he stood up and walked down the second floor with a wine glass.

This caused Li Shen and the others at the table to come down with him.

Li Shimin took Li Shen to toast the important ministers of the three provinces and six departments at the previous table.

"Fang Qing, auxiliary machine, I will not get drunk with you today." Li Shimin said at the prime minister's table.

"Haha, the minister will accompany you to the end." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I heard that His Royal Highness King Ji is only eight years old, and he has always had a good reputation for everyone in the literary world.

Even the Confucian sacrifice wine of the Guozijian is full of praise,

Why don't you take advantage of today to ask His Royal Highness King Ji to write a poem to toast His Majesty? ”
