"Your Majesty, Li Yuanjia, has met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"My nephew, Li Chengqian, has met Uncle Eleven."
After Li Yuanjia was the first to greet him, the host of today's banquet, Li Chengqian, quickly returned the gift, and then said with a warm smile: "Uncle Eleven, long time no see."
"haha, yes."
Li Yuanjia nodded and said with a smile.
As the prince, Li Chengqian would not leave the palace easily or go to court, and as the king of Han, Li Yuanjia would not enter the palace easily, so unless it was such a special occasion, it was really rare for the two of them to see each other.
After laughing, Li Yuanjia continued: "Congratulations to His Majesty the Crown Prince on the birth of Lin'er, which has made our country in the Tang Dynasty more stable... I have prepared some gadgets for the child. Your Majesty can take them out and try them out later.
.”
"Oh? Thank you so much, Uncle Eleven."
Hearing what Li Yuanjia said, the prince's eyes flashed with curiosity.
As a prince, Li Chengqian naturally lacks everything in his East Palace, and today civil and military officials from all over the dynasty came to celebrate the birth of his eldest son, and there were countless gifts of all kinds. But the gift from the eleventh uncle in front of him was undoubtedly the most important.
One of the things Li Chengqian is looking forward to is that previous facts have proven many times that everything the eleventh uncle comes up with is definitely interesting.
Far away are the tables and chairs that freed Li Chengqian from the pain of sitting on his knees, nearby are the very useful wolf hair and white paper, and the fried tea that gradually makes the prince addicted...
Thinking of fried tea, Li Chengqian suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "By the way, Uncle Eleven, do you have this year's new tea over there? My nephew is almost running out of tea."
"Oh? Your Highness the Crown Prince likes to drink tea?"
Hearing what he said, Li Yuanjia was immediately overjoyed and asked with bright eyes: "When you drink it, do you just use boiling water to brew it, or do you need to add onions, ginger, garlic, oil and salt?"
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment when he asked this question, and then he said happily: "I only like tea brewed with boiling water. I think the fragrance makes people particularly comfortable...What, Uncle Eleven, isn't it right to drink it like this?"
"Right? What's wrong? It's absolutely right!"
Rubbing his hands excitedly, Li Yuanjia immediately nodded vigorously and said: "This is how I usually drink, and I can't stand you... Ahem, I can't stand other things in tea anyway! Haha, since you
Just drink it if you like, this year's new tea should be delivered to Chang'an soon, and I'll prepare more for you then!"
Finally finding someone who likes drinking tea, Li Yuanjia was overjoyed.
Look, what a good kid!
After listening to his nephew's words, he became more handsome and refined in Li Yuanjia's eyes. It's not easy to find a guy who is willing to drink tea these days! When he first gave Fang Xuanling tea, Li Yuanjia thought
This time-honored minister would probably prefer this more elegant way of drinking, but a few days later he heard from Fang Yizhi that their old man liked adding goat's milk and refined salt...
"Haha, thank you in advance, Uncle Eleven."
Looking at Li Yuanjia with a happy face, although he was a little puzzled, Li Chengqian still smiled and thanked him.
Li Chengqian really liked the tea that the other party gave him, but he was more interested in how his eleventh uncle came up with the idea of frying the tea and then drinking it, which seemed to be ordinary or unusual.
When something comes into his hands, it always undergoes surprising changes.
After chatting for a few words, Li Yuanjia quickly confessed and left.
Today, Li Chengqian is the central figure of the entire banquet. It is okay to talk to him for a few words, but it is definitely not appropriate to keep talking. After returning to his seat, Li Yuanjia's expression gradually changed as he looked at his high-spirited nephew.
It's become more subtle.
Today's Li Chengqian is undoubtedly a time of great success.
The birth of the emperor's eldest son is very important, because in this era where inheritance is more important than anything else, having a son means that Li Chengqian's status in the emperor's heart will be further improved. But watching Li Chengqian limping around among many ministers, Li Yuanjia felt uneasy in his heart.
It's kind of sad that for such a gentle, polite and seemingly sunny young man, who would have thought that his temper would turn weird so quickly?
Counting the days, there are only a few years left!
"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from next to him, which suddenly woke Li Yuanjia out of his sad meditation.
Turning around and seeing Fang Xuanling, Li Yuanjia suddenly smiled: "Ms. Fang, I'm thinking about what food I should prepare when I go on a trip with the eldest son and the others in three days."
"……hehe."
Hearing Li Yuanjia talk about the spring outing three days later, Fang Xuanling's eyelids jumped and she couldn't help laughing.
He only found out later that his son invited Li Yuanjia to go on an outing. At that time, he was stunned and helpless. In order to allow his daughter to meet her husband in advance, the wife of the family would actually devise such a plan.
Out, which made Fang Xuanling feel a little embarrassed after meeting Li Yuanjia.
However, he could only pretend to be natural, smiled and stroked his beard and said: "The drinking in the prince's palace is famous all over the world. If you say so, Yi Zhi and the others are really lucky..."
…
Two hours later, Li Yuanjia expressed that he was quite dissatisfied with today's banquet.
As an uncle, he had never seen the true appearance of the third generation of the old Li family. He could only take a glance at it from a distance. This gave Li Yuanjia an unpleasant feeling that he was just here to get someone killed.
But today the emperor was so happy that he never closed his grinning mouth all night.
Becoming a grandfather at the age of forty-one is not too early in this era, but it is not too late. Li Shimin does have reason to be happy. Especially when he is born as the eldest son of the prince and the eldest grandson of the royal family, the meaning is even more extraordinary.
So during the banquet, Li Yuanjia soon heard about the emperor's reward.
That level and scale...
Anyway, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he expressed that he was extremely jealous of the prince, and he even felt "hatred" for his infant grandnephew.
Just giving birth to a son, the emperor is almost equivalent to giving a reward to the palace of Prince Han!
And what is even more detestable is that after receiving such a huge reward, Li Chengqian showed a little excitement when he was thanking him, but at other times he always had a faint smile on his face. Anyone who saw it would know that he had no
I didn't take those rewards seriously.
Thinking again about the countless officials in the palace today and the countless gifts they brought, Li Yuanjie sighed: "Oh, comparing people to each other is so irritating!"
If these things were given to him, there would be absolutely no problem in supporting those workshops for ten or eight years!
So out of jealousy, Li Yuanjia snorted secretly: "Humph, they are all vulgar things! How can they be as novel as the gifts I prepared? Just a cradle and a small stroller can make people in this era
