Wait until all the envoys from various countries have arrived and Li Chengqian has visited them one by one.
Li Shimin immediately announced that a palace banquet would be held in the square in front of Tai Chi Hall.
In order to highlight the national power and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and promote the culture of the Tang Dynasty.
This time Li Shimin invited to the palace banquet not only diplomatic missions from various countries and relatives of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, there are all officials of the fourth rank in the imperial court, top officials from various places, people's representatives, and some family members who have official orders.
For ordinary people, as long as they can enter the palace, it is a great honor, not to mention being able to drink with you?
In order to highlight the Li family, Li Shimin specially selected several highly respected elderly people from the royal family on the day of the banquet as mascots for those who came to the palace banquet.
Among them are naturally the King of Hejian, Li Xiaogong, and the King of Rencheng, Li Daozong.
Of course, having them is definitely not enough.
After all, although they are close relatives of Li Shimin, they are not of the same lineage as the Emperor.
No matter how you say it, even if you do nothing, the emperor's lineage must have someone standing there as the leader.
According to the rules, Li Shimin is naturally the most suitable one to stand with Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong.
But he is the emperor after all, and as the emperor, he must not be the first to go out to receive the envoys from various countries, or arrange to sit down and wait for a series of issues.
As for who will receive this hard job, there is almost no surprise. It must have fallen on the crown prince Li Chengqian.
On the afternoon of the palace banquet.
Li Chengqian had been arranged by Li Shimin to the entrance of the imperial city a long time ago, and served as the 'mascot' together with Hejian King Li Xiaogong and Rencheng King Li Daozong.
Regarding this, Li Chengqian also felt a little hopeless.
How come Li Shimin can think of himself despite all the hard work?
Did this guy forget that he was just recovering from a serious injury?
If I had known earlier, I would have just stayed in bed for a few more days and pretended to be wounded.
For a moment, Li Chengqian also regretted it .
But what can be done?
You’ve already come, how can you still sneak away?
Seeing his appearance, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong on the side also laughed secretly.
Li Xiaogong even said directly: "His Royal Highness, you are the face of our Tang Dynasty. No matter what, you must stand like a cypress..."
"Pine?"
"My uncle, please stop joking with me."
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "I've been standing here for almost an hour, and my waist is almost broken."
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong laughed very unkindly.
Moreover, these two guys were laughing very maliciously, which made Li Chengqian look confused. What were these two guys laughing at?
Li Daozong shook his head and said: "Your Highness, although you are young, you must also pay attention to moderation."
After hearing this and seeing the evil smiles on the faces of the two old guys, Li Chengqian was helpless.
He took a deep breath, then rubbed his chin and said, "Uncle, how long did it take for that boy from Chongyi to guard the border?"
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to turn his gaze to Li Daozong and said: "And your family Jing Heng, it's time to guard the border now, right?"
Threat, this is the threat of Chi Guoguo.
The two people present are also old foxes. How could they not understand what Li Chengqian said?
He made it clear that he wanted to send their two sons to guard the border.
And if their sons are sent to distant frontiers, how can they enjoy their old age with peace of mind?
For a moment, the faces of these two old guys looked as ugly as if they had eaten flies.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian also laughed proudly.
He said: "Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, both of you are my elders.
, I can’t say anything, you two can ridicule me as much as you want.”
"But you two, don't forget, Chongyi and Jing Heng are both messing around with me..."
The implication of this statement is that if you two are quarreling with me, I cannot punish you two.
But don't think twice about your son.
As long as I want to, even if I ask them to go to the toilet tomorrow, they will have to go.
At this moment, even Li Xiaogong, who is known for his hot temper, has lost his temper.
He lowered his eyebrows and said with a dry smile: "Your Highness, this is not very good for you."
"After all, your niece, my Tao'er, who is also the head of our Dangyang County, is just learning to speak, and she needs her father to accompany her."
"Furthermore, even if you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, your uncle, I am already old now, and everything in our family cannot be separated from Chongyi's management."
"It would be inappropriate for you to send him out at this time..."
Li Xiaogong also said with an awkward smile: "Are you right?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian snorted coldly and said, "How dare you say it?"
"Don't forget, I helped you win the title from the Dangyang County Lord."
"You are bullying me now, are you embarrassed?"
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong felt even more embarrassed.
And just when Li Xiaogong didn't know how to answer, Li Chongyi came over with Sun Tingfang and his four-year-old daughter.
Seeing these three people, Li Chongyi also came over to say hello with a smile on his face.
"My lord, please pay homage to the prince."
"My child, meet your father."
"Nephew, meet your uncle..."
He also bowed three times in a row.
Immediately, he also brought his wife and children over to see him again.
To be honest, Li Chengqian hasn’t seen Sun Tingfang for a long time. Already.
It was Li Chengqian who begged Li Tingxue to protect the marriage between Li Chongyi and Sun Tingfang.
After seeing Li Chengqian, Sun Tingfang also bowed and saluted: "Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."
Nowadays, Sun Tingfang's face is no longer as tender as before.
Because her family was well-off since she was a child, she grew taller after marrying into the prince's palace. At this moment, she also carries an unusual sense of nobility.
However, after Li Chengqian waved his hands randomly, his attention was attracted by the little guy in her hand.
At this moment, the little guy was looking at Li Chengqian with his big watery eyes, his face full of curiosity.
And this girl also inherited the advantages of her parents, and she looks like a little porcelain doll.
"Hey, isn't this my eldest niece?"
Li Chengqian bent down and teased the little girl: "Come on, come on, call me uncle and listen."
Li Chongyi's little girl was the first child of Li Chengqian's generation, and Li Chengqian liked her very much when he saw her.
But since Tao'er had never seen this guy since he could remember, he was a bit unfamiliar with him.
Seeing Li Chengqian approaching at this moment, she kept hiding behind her mother. At the same time, she did not forget to peek out half of her face, looking at the person in front of her with vigilance.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian also smiled helplessly.
He glanced at Li Chongyi and then said: "This little girl doesn't even know her uncle."
"You still have the nerve to say it?"
Li Chongyi was not used to Li Chengqian and said directly: "Since she was born, have you ever been to our house?"
Indeed, after the birth of this little girl, or after Li Chongyi got married, Li Chengqian was trapped in all kinds of trivial matters.
Let alone going to someone else's house to see someone else's daughter, even if it is your own daughter, you probably won't be able to see her more than a few times.
When he heard what Li Chongyi said, Li Chengqian scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It seems so..."
