In a blink of an eye, the day of the palace banquet arrived.
As the prince, Li Chengqian inevitably began to act as a doorman again.
Starting from the morning, I personally stood at the gate of the imperial city to greet the royal relatives and nobles.
To be honest, what Li Chengqian dislikes the most is these messy things.
At the beginning, he said he didn't want to be a doorman.
But Li Shimin told him that today was a very important day for him.
Everyone else could not be present, but he couldn't.
He also gave him a death order, telling him to stay here to welcome the ministers entering the city until the last minister arrived.
After a whole day.
Li Chengqian's face almost froze with laughter, and his calves were cramping.
And saw Li Chengqian's miserable look.
Li Ke, who had just packed up at home and brought his wife to attend the palace banquet, was also very happy.
"Ouch!"
"My royal brother."
"This is really hard on you!"
Li Ke stepped forward, looked at Li Chengqian with smiles in his eyes and said: "How virtuous and capable my brother is, to be greeted personally by the emperor's brother."
Can Li Chengqian tell that this guy is deliberately making fun of himself?
"hehe!"
"Have you been beaten enough?"
"Do you still feel itchy?"
Li Chengqian got close to Li Ke and said, "If your skin is itchy, I don't mind helping you relax here."
"Eh!"
"My royal brother, don't scare me either."
"This is in public. You, the crown prince, can't beat your own brother, right?"
Li Ke looked at Li Chengqian with a confident look and said, "If you really do this, it will have a great impact on your reputation."
"Depend on!"
"When have you ever seen your brother care about his reputation?"
Li Chengqian chuckled, then approached Li Ke and said: "As long as I want to hit you, even in front of my father, I will
I will also beat you until you have teeth all over the floor."
When I heard this.
Li Ke also panicked for a moment.
How could he forget this?
Li Chengqian is never bound by rules when it comes to his work.
And just when Li Ke was thinking about whether to run away.
Li Chengqian suddenly raised his head and looked at the eldest grandson Pingting behind Li Ke.
"cousin!"
"Long time no see!"
Li Chengqian walked slowly to the eldest grandson Pingting and said, "Have you missed your cousin?"
"Of course."
Changsun Pingting and Li Chengqian have also been friends for many years.
At the earliest, Li Shimin planned to let Li Chengqian marry her directly.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian saw through Li Shimin's secret plan and let her marry Li Ke.
And Li Kena in the early days was also a bastard.
The eldest grandson Pingting suffered many injustices from Li Ke.
It was later that Li Chengqian's loud mouth made Li Ke realize the reality.
And it was also because of Li Ke's change that the eldest grandson Pingting finally lived a good life, and now she even has a child.
Look at these two people chatting animatedly.
Especially after hearing Li Chengqian calling him cousin instead of younger brother and sister, Li Ke's face started to look a little ugly.
"Brother Royal!"
"Have we finished talking about everything we should talk about?"
Li Ke walked to Li Chengqian and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take your siblings in."
When he mentioned the words "brother and sister", Li Ke obviously increased his tone.
He was obviously reminding Li Chengqian.
It’s true that she is your cousin, but she is also your younger brother and sister. It’s okay for you to keep a distance from my wife!
Li Chengqian seemed not to see him, and continued to chat with his eldest grandson Pingting, and even talked about parenting.
.
This time.
Li Ke really couldn't bear it anymore.
But he didn't dare to do anything to Li Chengqian, so he could only say to his eldest grandson Pingting: "Madam, it's time for us to go in and meet the father, the emperor, and the empress!"
"Go and go yourself!"
Li Chengqian waved his hands casually and said, "I haven't seen my cousin for a long time. We must have a good chat."
"It just so happens that there aren't many people around at this moment."
"How about Pingting stay here with me and work as a doorman?"
Before Changsun Pingting could speak, Li Ke said: "No, why should I let my wife stay here? If I want to stay, I have to ask your wife to come over!"
"Isn't something wrong with your wife-in-law?"
Li Chengqian said: "If we can't get through now, let Pingting stand here for a while!"
"No, no!"
"This is against the rules!"
Li Ke shook his head and refused and said, "Is it ridiculous to ask my wife to stand here with you and chat with you? It's ridiculous!"
"what is it now?"
Li Chengqian said with an innocent face: "How boring am I standing here by myself? My cousin is willing to accompany me, but you still stop her?"
And that's it.
Who can't see what Li Chengqian means?
Li Ke looked at his wife speechlessly.
Seeing his wife's smiling face, he accepted his fate.
My daughter-in-law really has her elbows turned out.
She had clearly seen a long time ago that Li Chengqian was plotting against him, and in the end she quite cooperated.
And to the end.
Li Ke could only say reluctantly: "I will accompany you. I will stand with you at the head office, right?"
"okay!"
"Thank you very much, Emperor brother!"
Li Chengqian turned to his eldest grandson Pingting and said, "Brothers and sisters, go in and find your sister-in-law. See if she can help. If not, find a place to rest."
"Yes, brother Huang."
Changsun Pingting versus Li Chengqian
He gave a salute, then glanced at Li Ke, covered his mouth and ran away.
But anyone can see her smiling face hidden under her sleeves.
Seeing this scene, Li Ke was speechless.
He glared at Li Chengqian and said, "You are a real thief..."
Li Chengqian shrugged nonchalantly and said, "I didn't ask you to stand here, you took the initiative, so you can't blame me."
"And my father also said so."
"I have the right to choose who will stand here with me to greet everyone."
"Now that you're here, it just so happens that I don't need to look for you."
"You just stand here for me, and when I get some rest, I'll replace you!"
As Li Chengqian spoke, he stepped towards the shade, his appearance clearly indicating that he had no intention of giving Li Ke a chance to refuse.
Li Ke was so angry in his heart.
This royal brother of his is really a cheat.
However.
But there was nothing he could do.
Who knows, his wife is also on the same side as his royal brother?
no!
This will never work!
When I get home, I have to teach this little girl a lesson!
Stick education must be stick education!
Li Ke thought secretly in his heart.
On the other side, inside the Manlu Hall.
Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Duan Zhixuan, Li Daozong and other veterans who fought with Li Shimin in the world gathered here.
The purpose of their gathering here is simply for Li Shimin to announce his abdication in public.
Since ancient times, the word abdication has not been a complimentary word.
Most monarchs were manipulated by others and forced to abdicate because of their incompetence.
It is the only time in history that someone like Li Shimin announced his intention to abdicate at a very young age.
These ministers must also prepare in advance to prevent some random rumors from the people or officials.
