Although Li Shimin has always advocated frugality, Concubine Yang was born with a noble background and was deeply favored by him, so she made an exception for Concubine Yang to hold a banquet in Liangyi Hall. Although the scale was not large, she invited all the concubines of the palace and the eldest princess in Chang'an. Of course, Princes and Princess Li Yan and others were indispensable, and they planned to sit together and celebrate Yang's birthday.

After the carriage entered the imperial city, it entered the Tai Chi Palace through Changle Gate, and then drove straight to the Wangyun Hall where Yang Fei lived. Although the banquet was not held there, as the biological son, he had to go there to pay tribute to his mother's blessing first, and then accompany his mother to the Liangyi Hall for the banquet. Of course, Xiao Wenxin also had to accompany Li Yan.

The two arrived at Wangyun Palace, where Li Ke and his wife Yang were already chatting with Concubine Yang. Seeing Li Yan and Xiao Wenxin coming, Concubine Yang seemed extremely enthusiastic and specially pulled Xiao Wenxin to her side. After chatting with her a lot of family matters, the other party was a little at a loss. They didn't know what his future mother-in-law was going to have.

When the banquet was about to start in the afternoon, Li Shimin rushed over after handling the government affairs. The family rushed to Liangyi Hall to attend the banquet. Today, Concubine Yang was the protagonist, so she walked side by side with Li Shimin, with Li Yan and Li Ke surrounded by behind, and everyone entered the hall together.

In the hall, all the people who came to the banquet had already sat. The palace concubines and the married princesses and the eldest princesses on the right were sitting, and the sons and daughters of Li Yan and others on the left were the orthodox palace banquets. Because it was an orthodox palace banquet, the separate meal system was implemented. Generally, the two of them had a table, and the married couples sat together. Li Yan and Xiao Wenxin, the couple, sat behind the same table.

Everyone sat down according to their identities. Li Yan was on the sixth, but the second brother above died young, so he sat behind the fifth table on the left, and his top head was the fifth Li You, and the lower head was the seventh Li Yun. Among them, Li Yun was fine. This man was one year younger than Li Yan, and was a timid guy. After greeting Li Yan, he sat there honestly. However, the fifth Li You was very brave. His eyes looked at Xiao Wenxin were actually obscene, which made Li Yan very unhappy. He snorted coldly and glared at the boy a few times, which made him reluctantly withdraw his gaze, and then looked at Li Yan with a very jealousy before he became honest.

However, Li Yan cursed in his heart. If the occasion wasn't right today, he would have been going up to kick this kid to death, and he would have dared to look at his woman with that kind of gaze? It seems that he was impatient in life. He must teach this kid a lesson after finding time so that he can know his power and avoid those dog eyes looking around in the future.

Although it was a little unpleasant, the banquet continued. Seeing that everyone had already arrived, Li Shimin raised his glass and smiled: "Today is the birthday of my beloved concubine. Everyone raises their glasses together to pray for their beloved concubine!"

"I wish the concubine good fortune as good as the East China Sea and longevity as the South Mountain!" Li Yan and the others hurriedly stood up, raised their glasses together to congratulate Yang Fei, and then everyone drank the wine in the glass and the banquet officially began. (I really can't find the birthday speech of the Tang Dynasty. Please use this most common one first, don't mind.)

Since it is a birthday party, of course, there is no need for birthday gifts. So at the beginning of the banquet, everyone gave them carefully prepared birthday gifts. These gifts were either expensive or novel, which made the people participating in the banquet enjoyable. Even Li Yan, a self-proclaimed knowledgeable person, was eye-opening.

After the concubines and the eldest princesses presented their birthday gifts, it was finally Li Yan's turn, and the princes and princesses. Starting from the eldest brother Li Chengqian, he gave him the birthday gifts he prepared in turn. Among them, Li Chengqian gave a set of Taoist Three Qingshu carved from white jade. The jade is of excellent quality and exquisite workmanship, which is in line with his identity.

Li Ke gave a plate of very strange mother-child pearls. The mother-child pearls with the size of a baby's fist are located in the center of the plate, surrounded by child pearls with the size of fingertips. There is a very strange attraction between the mother-child pearls. If you open the pearls not far away, the pearls will be automatically sucked and rolled to the next to the mother-child pearls, just like a child running towards his mother's arms. This plate of pearls that symbolize the affection of mother-child is immediately praised by Concubine Yang and the people around him. Although Li Shimin felt that this thing was a bit extravagant, he didn't say anything because Concubine Yang was so happy.

The fourth brother Li Tai was good at taking advantage of the tricks. He wrote a fool of himself, and then asked his father-in-law Yan Lide to draw a portrait of Yang Fei, and gave it to Yang Fei as a birthday gift. Although this thing was not worth much money to Li Yan's opinion, it was exactly the same as Li Shimin and Yang Fei's wishes, which attracted unanimous praise from both of them.

When it was the fifth brother Li You's turn, the boy stood up with an indifferent look on his face and said lazily: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine, the Imperial Concubine is not as rich as the elder brother, so I really can't find any birthday gifts to show off, so I had to prepare ten Korean ginsengs to serve, which is the little desirable thing of the Imperial Concubine. I hope the Imperial Concubine will not dislike it."

As soon as Li You said, it immediately aroused the contempt of others around him. Li Ke and Li Yan also looked angry. This boy obviously didn't give his mother's face and actually gave him a birthday gift of just ten Korean ginsengs. He could have taken such gifts? The ginseng on Li Yan's more than a dozen carriages were all judged by pounds. If it weren't for the mother's birthday today, they would have gone up to slap the kid's mouth.

Li Shimin was extremely disgusted with this son, especially when he saw that he was so rude to Concubine Yang, he even felt a little angry in his heart. He immediately wanted to drive out the embarrassing son. However, Concubine Yang next to him smiled generously and said, "Wulang gave it to him, too. How could I, an elder, still dislike it?" After Concubine Yang said that, she asked the palace maids around her to accept the gift. However, Li You did not feel grateful for Concubine Yang's generous performance and sat there and drank it himself.

Li Yan glared at Li You fiercely. This kid not only had a lust for Xiao Wenxin, but now he was disrespectful to his mother. This Liangzi has been formed, and it would be nothing to provoke him Li Yan. But if anyone dares to provoke his women and relatives, then he will wait for his revenge thousands of times!

But it was Li Yan's turn to present the birthday gift, so Li Yan adjusted his mentality, smiled and walked forward, bowed and said, "Son, please meet my father and mother, I wish my mother eternal youth and good fortune and longevity!"

"Haha, Liulang, the concubine loves you the most, what birthday gift did you prepare?" Seeing Li Yan's son who was increasingly reassuring, Li Shimin's face finally turned from gloomy to clear, and he asked in a very relaxed tone. Concubine Yang also looked at Li Yan with a smile. She got some whisper from Li Ke. She knew that this son had spent a lot of time and effort to prepare gifts for him, so she was also very looking forward to Li Yan's gifts.

"Your father, I have prepared three very special birthday gifts this time to celebrate my mother's birthday!" Li Yan smiled. Although the gifts he came with him were loaded with more than a dozen cars, those were just ordinary gifts and could not be regarded as birthday gifts. The birthday gifts were usually selected and prepared by the host himself and given to the birthday party in front of everyone at the banquet. For example, in addition to giving the plate of mother pearls, Li Ke actually gave a lot of other gifts.

"Oh, come on!" Li Shimin seemed even more anxious than Concubine Yang. Last time Li Yan mentioned it to him, but he didn't say anything about the gift. Moreover, the shadow guard around him also reported to him that the thunder in Li Yan's mansion during the day made him even more curious, and he wanted to see Li Yan's mysterious gift earlier.

"As for your order!" Li Yan waved his hand and Wen'er and Hua'er, who were standing beside Li Yan, were holding the brocade box and walking up. Li Yan walked to the front of the first gift Wen'er had, then reached out to open the box, and took out a round thing like a plate from it.

"Please look at Mother, this is the first gift prepared by my son." Li Yan said, handing the gift in his hand to Yang Fei.

Concubine Yang took it and looked at it. She found that the outside of the thing was a round rosewood frame with exquisite workmanship, with many patterns and birds and beasts on it. In the middle was a shiny thing, like a crystal. When she took the thing straight and wanted to look at it carefully, she suddenly saw a beautiful face that was both familiar and unfamiliar from the crystal.

"Ah~, this... is this a mirror?" Yang Fei looked at her delicate face in the mirror, showing a look of disbelief. She couldn't believe that there was such a clear mirror in this world that looked at people.

"Hey~, let me see it too?" Li Shimin next to him also found that the mirror was unique. He took it over and looked at his heroic face carefully. He found that the mirror was indeed much stronger than the bronze mirror he used, and even the beard on his face could be seen clearly.

"Qi Bing, Mother, this is indeed a mirror, but it is different from the bronze mirror we often use, but a mirror polished from crystal. My son has used the exclusive secret method to process the crystal. When using it to look at people, it will be a hundred times clearer than the bronze mirror." Li Yan said proudly. Although the time was a little shorter and he could not make glass, what's the matter? If there is no glass, use crystal instead. Find a crystal with good permeability, and then let the wise craftsman polish it into a flat plate, and then use tin foil and mercury to make a mirror.

When the others first heard Yang Fei say it was a mirror, they were a little disappointed. They thought Li Yan had prepared for his mother. After a long time, they found out that it was a mirror, but soon they discovered the abnormality between Li Shimin and Yang Fei. If it were just an ordinary mirror, they would not have lost their composure. After hearing Li Yan's explanation, they realized that the mirror was unique, so they all had to come forward to see it.

"Brother, can we also see what the difference is the mirror presented by Liulang?" Princess Danyang, the most courageous, stood up and said. This proposal was immediately approved by several other princesses. Even the little guys such as Qinghe were also making excuses, wanting to see the mystery of the mirror.

Li Shimin couldn't resist everyone's interest, and turned his head to look at Yang Fei. Although Yang Fei was reluctant to leave, she finally agreed, so she handed the mirror to everyone for circulating it. As a result, it caused a sensation immediately. The man was fine, but he felt that he had finally seen his appearance clearly, while those women couldn't let go. If it weren't for the only little rationality that made them still sober, they might have dared to snatch it home now.

After finally circulating it, Concubine Yang immediately put the mirror into the brocade box and told her to keep it by her personal palace maid. Without her consent, no one could touch it.

PS: Although it is not good to disconnect here, the following plot is still very long. Lao Yu has no time code today, so he can only wait until tomorrow. However, the following two gifts have been prompted in the previous article. You might as well guess it first, hehe.

In addition, the book friend "Jueshi Qingcheng" has a problem with the title, and it has been corrected now. Thank you for the reminder of Jues Qingcheng.
