Don't be a prince

For an ordinary prince, being able to keep his position as prince is considered a success.Those who can form their own power in the court like King Xi are rare.However, the current crown prince has no obvious intention to win over the ministers, but when it comes to the crown prince, no one does not admire it. To such an extent, it is no longer a "powerful" that can be summed up.

Thinking of the scenes of getting along with the prince, Li Daliang suddenly felt that the prince was too similar to the emperor in this respect.As long as you get along, you will unconsciously start to admire.

Now it is different from Wude period. Although the prince has younger brother Wei Wang and Wu Wang with a subtle identity, these two have no intention of competing with the prince at all.To be honest, the most peaceful situation would be if there were no factional disputes in the court because of the crown prince.From this point of view, it is almost a certainty that the prince will inherit the throne in the future.

"What are you thinking, hurry up and eat something now, and when Lao Cheng and the others come over, you won't have the chance to eat food."

Hearing the reminder, Li Daliang reacted and started eating immediately.When Lao Cheng and the others come back, they will start drinking.Cheng Yaojin didn't care what kind of occasion he was in, he didn't recognize his relatives when he drank.

The banquet at the palace was very lively, but there were no figures of the emperor or empress.The Eastern Palace is also very lively. Decorating every corner of the Eastern Palace with decorations such as red flowers is not a job that can be completed in a day or two.Because it was a formal marriage, the East Palace was the recipient of the gift. The eunuchs in the East Palace were too busy, and even the maids were called.The warehouse in the Eastern Palace, which had been emptied because of the bank and harbor incidents, was full again.

The East Palace is very lively, but Li Chengqian, who is the groom, is not in the East Palace either.

At this time, the empress and crown prince were in the Taishanghuang's Da'an Palace, paying their respects to the Taishanghuang.

It was only today that Li Chengqian found out that when the prince got married, he not only had to worship the ancestors, but also bowed three times and kowtowed to his parents.Of course, the Supreme Emperor, as the prince's grandfather, also had to accept the salute.

Li Yuan, who let go of the last worry, has completely let go now. Although he is no longer keen on making children, he still never shy away from wine and meat. Basically, when he sees him, he is always drunk.

This is naturally not in line with the way of health preservation, but Li Yuan doesn't care.As the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his life has been wonderful enough, although there are irreparable regrets, but, so be it....

Seeing Li Chengqian in red robes and the empress in full attire, Li Yuan sitting on the brocade immediately remembered that today was the day of the prince's wedding.

"Erlang, maidservant of Guanyin, today is the day of Chengqian's wedding. If you don't go to the palace to receive the officials, what are you doing here?"

It can be seen from the address that Li Yuan has no serious grudge against the emperor, at least he used to call him "emperor" unceremoniously.

Li Shimin smiled and cupped his hands and said: "The rules still have to be followed. When Chengqian is married, he must also salute you. There is no shortage. After the ceremony is over, the sons and ministers will go back. If the father feels depressed drinking alone, you might as well come to the palace too." how?"

Da'an Palace can still feel the liveliness of the palace.

Feeling the slightly bitter wine in his mouth, Li Yuan nodded and said, "It's okay, I haven't attended a banquet for a long time."

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan turned over and stood up with difficulty, walked in front of Li Chengqian, patted him on the shoulder and said: "The kid who ate leeks with me back then is getting married now, and I have nothing to give you, just wish You are blessed with many children!"

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Lifting up his robe, Li Chengqian kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times to Li Yuan.

After the ceremony, Li Yuan laughed and ordered the imperial chariot to prepare, he was going to get drunk in the palace today.

After coming out of Da'an Palace, they saw the defenders of the East Palace who had recovered their marriage rate.There is no doubt that Crown Princess Su Yuan has been sent to the East Palace.Although he wanted to see his wife very much, Li Chengqian could only tell jokes with Li Yuan.During the day today, he will also attend the banquet in the palace to thank the guests.

At this time, the East Palace was still very lively, but no matter how lively it was, no one dared to disturb Guangtian Palace.

Now that the Crown Princess has entered the East Palace, it will be the Crown Princess who will be in charge of the affairs of the East Palace in the future.Although the prince said that the princess is also a gentle person, who can say for sure.Therefore, they still didn't dare to be presumptuous, and they didn't dare to make loud noises when they passed by Guangtian Temple.

In the quiet palace, Su Yuan was not alone, Xiuxiu was also there.Originally, the one accompanying the bride at this time should be the servant girl, but the crown prince said that the East Palace does not need this, so Xiuxiu can only be symbolically arranged as the princess servant girl.

She had obviously read it several times, but when she saw that album again, Su Yuan couldn't help but blushed.

After showing the album, Xiuxiu, who was also blushing, whispered, "I'm showing you the rules, but you probably won't need it tonight. Sister Su, I've asked some maids in the palace. It's really too young to have a child." The most important thing is to go to hell, not one or two have died in the palace because of dystocia. Therefore, the prince may really not have sex with you tonight."

Su Yuan, who was wearing a green dress, covered her head in the tent, and said after a long time: "You are right, since His Highness said that he was thinking of us, he will not go back on his word. Seriously, Xiuxiu, although I have never seen other Man, but I think there will be no one who is more gentle and considerate than the prince."

Xiuxiu nodded again and again, whether she heard or got along with each other, she found that the prince is really the best person.Not only is he kind, but he treats everyone like family.Obviously, she always missed her original home before, but since she followed the prince, she felt that the East Palace was her best home.

"Standing is so uncomfortable, Xiuxiu, come and sit down, let's talk more, you have spent the longest time with His Highness, you should know him better than I do."

Xiuxiu waved her hands again and again: "No, if a bitch gets on your marriage bed, it will ruin Feng Shui."

How could Su Yuan give her a chance to refuse, and insisted on hugging her to bed.

"Okay, okay, what kind of slut and noble, I think His Highness won't care about it. Tell me, what are your highness's usual habits?"

"Well... His Highness's biggest characteristic is kindness, no matter how cruel he is to anyone. There was an old eunuch who was in charge of delivering meals, and accidentally knocked over the dish, and the soup dripped on His Highness. In the harem, this is a serious crime of beheading, but the crown prince just asked him to reflect behind closed doors, without hitting the board. Didn't you see that the old eunuch was crying in the room that day and was about to die..."

"However, although His Highness will not severely punish his servants, there are some things that cannot be easily offended. For example, His Highness likes to be clean, and all the servants in the Eastern Palace must wash their bodies every three days. For example, His Highness hates doing things seriously. If people disturb him, it will annoy him. For example, His Highness hates being deceived..."

Compared with the two who were lying on the marriage bed and talking secretly, Li Chengqian at this time can be said to be worse than life and death.The emperor gave wine, this must be drunk.Li Daozong is an elder, although he is easy to talk and can use tea instead, but he drank a bowl of wine in one go, you can't stop drinking a cup of tea, right?Gao Shilian's uncle, Changsun Wuji's uncle, Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and others, have given Donggong such great face today, they must be thanked.

He obviously drank tea, but half the round was not over yet, so Li Chengqian felt that he would fail if he didn't go to the latrine.It's better to drink, at least I can last a little longer through sweating and the like.

Just when Li Chengqian wanted to go to the hut for the second time, Wei Zheng, who had never been present at the banquet, ran into the Tai Chi Hall excitedly.

The word "excited" is inappropriate to be used on Wei Zheng, because this bastard has always looked sullen, and now he smiles more like a groom than himself. Li Chengqian doesn't think his wedding has such power.

Sure enough, before the gift was finished, Wei Zheng said: "Reporting to Your Highness, between the Zhuque Gate at the gate of the imperial city and the Mingde Gate, there are countless people walking next to each other, and they are all here to give gifts to the East Palace. His Royal Highness sent to record Kong The old man can't remember his name and address at all, and many people leave their things and run away in a hurry."

Hearing Wei Zheng's report, Li Shimin burst out laughing.Even Li Yuan on the side was stunned.

The common people left the gifts and ran away, which clearly showed that they did not ask for anything in return. Obviously the common people were willing to give gifts, and it was already a universal joy, which showed that the royal family and the common people were inseparable.Such and such can only show that the people of the family gave gifts voluntarily, and they also knew that it would be difficult for the East Palace to return gifts, so they didn't even leave their names.

This is a great joy, even more exciting than the prince's wedding.

"Your Majesty has won the hearts of all people, and I congratulate Your Majesty!"

As the best assist player, Changsun Wuji naturally knew what to do, and immediately left the table with a wine glass in his hand, shouting loudly.

Driven by the eldest grandson Wuji, all the officials left their seats to congratulate the emperor.

"Come on, put away this cup and bring me a bowl!"

After boldly drinking a bowl of spirits, Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Come on, gentlemen, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!"

The emperor's words completely ignited the passion of the banquet, and all the civil and military ministers drank wine excitedly.Although I have to congratulate the emperor, they are also responsible for building the Tang Dynasty into the state where all the people return to their hearts.Now seeing my hard work bear fruit, I am naturally moved.

Seeing the emperor's father waving, Li Chengqian could only walk closer.

"Today's palace doesn't need your company anymore, you should know where to go now."

Erchen actually really wants to go back to the East Palace!

In this case, there is really no way to say.Accepting the order, Li Chengqian immediately left the Tai Chi Hall and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Wei Zheng really didn't brag, it might be the first time so many people gathered on Chang'an Zhuque Avenue, standing at the gate of the city, he couldn't see the end of the line.

At the gate of the palace, various gifts as high as the city wall have been piled up.There are copper coins, gold and silver, and rare antique paintings.There is no doubt that those who can send these can only be wealthy households or merchants.Compared with the gifts given by ordinary people, they are much shivering.Either a sack of grain, or a bundled chicken, or a basket of eggs.Although compared with the former one, Li Chengqian still dare not underestimate him.Mind is something that cannot be measured by value.

How could Li Chengqian not know what the emperor meant.As a royal family, even if your brain is kicked by a donkey, you will not let such an opportunity go in vain.

There is no way to thank you at the gate of the imperial city, so you can only take a detour to the various taverns and restaurants.

Since getting the news, the tea stalls in major restaurants and taverns have been stocking up early.Facts have proved how wise their decisions are.No matter how many dishes the cook cooks, even if they are just blanched wild vegetables and sprinkled with salt, they can be quickly eaten by outside guests.As for the meat that has been stewed long ago, there is no need to reheat it again, even if it is served cold, it will be quickly destroyed.

Cheng Yaojin's Zuifenglou is the most famous restaurant in Chang'an. Now it has contracted the entire street in a bold manner, and the kitchen has simply been moved outside. When people eat at the table, they can see the busy figure of the cook when they turn around .

Old Zhangtou and Old Man Wang are just the two most inconspicuous people among countless people who attended the prince's wedding today. Now they are lucky enough to grab a seat in Zuifenglou, and they even ate roast chicken not long ago.

After regretfully sucking off the last trace of oily gas from the chicken bone, the old Zhangtou sighed: "I thought that I could see His Royal Highness when I went to the city today. Who would have imagined that there would be so many people."

The old man Wang quickly pulled the rice in the bowl into his mouth, and then filled another bowl before saying: "What are you thinking, the prince is also someone you and I can meet casually? As far as I am concerned, he can eat the next banquet of His Highness , We have not worked in vain in this life. How many dry meals can we eat at home in a year? Now that we are full of dry rice and can eat meat, I just think it is too shameful to send a bag of grain."

"That's not what I said. You see, the old man Liu who sells jelly is just entertaining His Highness for a meal of jelly. It's not good. He brags how delicious his jelly is when His Highness praises him all day long. If I can see it too When I go to His Royal Highness, I will hate him when I go back, but I just saw His Highness, what are you bragging about!"

Although he was old, his appetite was not bad, and the old Zhangtou gave himself another bowl of rice.Just now the shopkeeper of the restaurant came and said, as long as you can eat, eat with your belly open, not only the rice, but also the dishes are enough, if the folks are not entertained well, they will be punished by the prince.

After just a few mouthfuls of food, I heard someone yelling: "All folks, I am very grateful for attending Gu's wedding today. I will replace wine with tea. Thank you for your kindness."

"This man's speech is also strange, what are you talking about?"

Old man Wang just turned around and was dumbfounded.

He is not the only one who is dumbfounded, anyone who eats on the street is dumbfounded.They never expected that the prince who was supposed to be in the palace would appear here and toast them.

He picked up the tea bowl in a hurry, saw the prince drinking tea, and quickly poured it into his mouth.

It wasn't until the prince left that old man Wang and old Zhangtou looked at each other.

"Just now, is it really His Royal Highness?"

"If you saw it too, then you must have read it wrong!"

"I'm a little dizzy, Lao Wang, pinch me..."

Even if a cup of tea is served in a restaurant, Li Chengqian will feel unbearably supported.It was the first time he realized that drinking too much water would be so painful, so he had no choice but to choose wine, and shamelessly stuffed a jade pendant into the glass to take up space.

Every time I pass a venue, there will always be cheers left behind.

In the past, the royal family has always been aloof, and in the eyes of common people, they are almost like gods in the sky.Now, unexpectedly, the dignified prince would attend the toast in person. Although it was just a hasty one, it was worth going to the city today!

Running all over Chang'an's restaurants is also a physical effort, so when Li Chengqian finished toasting the last venue, he looked like he was fished out of a water tank.

Zhang Yun said worriedly: "Your Highness, why don't you go back to the East Palace, the sun is almost setting, if you stay outside, the servants are afraid that you will catch the cold."

Li Chengqian, who was seven or eight points drunk, could only nod stiffly, lay in the carriage, and was escorted back to the East Palace by his own escort.

It was already evening, but people from afar still came to the city.I wasn't moved before, but after hearing what happened in Chang'an, I still couldn't bear it and ran into Chang'an City.Although the streets have become much sparser, some people still haven't finished eating.Under such circumstances, a curfew cannot be carried out at all.

When the frowning head of Marquis Wu reported the situation to the Jinwu Guard, the Jinwu Guard also issued the queen's decree, and the curfew in Chang'an was canceled today!

As for the emperor, he was already drunk and unconscious.

I was exhausted from running all over Chang'an, and I was also drunk, so even if I was in the bathtub, I couldn't help but sink.

The maid who took the prince's bath could only carefully drag His Highness's head before wiping his body.

In a daze, he was carried into Guangtian Temple, in a daze, he was given water, and in a daze, he passed away overnight.

The next day, Li Chengqian didn't open his eyes until noon.

It was not the bedroom in memory, and there was a soft pillow in his arms.This is strange, this is clearly the Tang Dynasty, how could that body pillow appear here.

Just when I was about to check it, I felt soft ups and downs.

When he saw the dreamy pretty face shining under the sun, Li Chengqian recalled that he was already married.

Looking at the sun that had already risen at an unknown height outside, Xiao Lizi also rose without hesitation.

With his hot face twitching, Li Chengqian could only gather a little strength to straighten his upper body.

The sudden movement woke up Su Yuan, and she screamed out when she saw Li Chengqian's bare upper body.

"Okay, I don't know what you thought last night, why are you screaming now. Get up quickly, according to the etiquette, you should visit my father, queen mother and grandpa with me today. It's already rude to wake up so late."

Only then did Su Yuan remember this incident, and began to get dressed in a panic.

Looking at the beautiful woman who was putting on clothes, Li Chengqian suddenly felt a sense of happiness for no reason.

This is his woman, and he will give her happiness as much as possible in the future. Although it is a shame for a man to be in love with one person in this era, Li Chengqian is not prepared to abide by that.If you marry three today and five tomorrow, then you are not a real husband, but a high-matching boar.

Chapter 294 The Mentality of Climbing Up

Besides, too much energy is worn out, which is not good for the body.

Looking at the shadow, thinking about his current height and body, Li Chengqian could only force the restless little Lizi to be quiet.

You can't be impulsive now, it's not only bad for your health, but more importantly, it's also bad for Su Yuan.

Although he was the most disappointing physical age and psychological virgin age, Li Chengqian suppressed his impulse.

On the other side, Su Yuan took a lot of effort to put on her clothes. She blushed and glanced at Li Chengqian, then turned her head hastily.

There was a knocking sound at the door, and Xiuxiu came in with a few maids to wait on her.According to the rules, the prince and princess need to take a bath before going to pay their respects.

Although Li Chengqian didn't think his body was very dirty, rules were rules and he had to abide by them.

Don't think too much about the mandarin duck bath, just honestly wash them separately, and after they are clean, Li Chengqian brings Su Yuan into the palace together.

Along the way, the maids and eunuchs of the East Palace all looked at the current Crown Princess curiously. Seeing that although the Crown Princess walked timidly, she didn't seem inconvenient at all, so they couldn't help but look at the Crown Prince in front.

Li Chengqian has long been accustomed to these confusing sights and doesn't care.Su Yuan, who had received pre-marital education, blushed even more when she realized the meaning of these gazes.

Tongxun Gate is the shortest path from the East Palace to the Taiji Palace. For this name, Li Chengqian always felt that this was the gate exclusively for the emperor to pass through, in order to reprimand the crown prince.

Today's imperial palace is also immersed in joy. The red flowers tied to the beams and other places should have been put away, but the queen did not do so, but ordered to wait a month or two before picking them off. The sun and rain have damaged these things.It's enough to be frugal on weekdays, but to be so frugal during a happy event will be ridiculed by the world.

Restaurants that have been open for a full day and night are now cleaning up the streets.The day and night banquet ate up all their reserves, and the horse-drawn carriages to send chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep to Chang'an continued, but they still couldn't satisfy the appetite of a large number of people.

The people ate very happily, even if they couldn't eat meat later, they just ate a dry meal, and they all said that the trip was worthwhile.

At the gate of the imperial city, the gifts from the common people were still piled there. Standing on the city wall and looking at the pile of gifts higher than the city wall, Li Shimin's mouth never closed.

Li Chengqian, who went to Ganlu Hall and Liangyi Hall twice, rushed over with Su Yuan after finding out where the emperor's father was.

I have to say that these mountains of gifts are really impactful, even if they are all worthless things, but they all come from the hearts of the people.

Picking up a badly damaged copper coin, Li Chengqian felt so proud for the first time.These gifts are the greatest affirmation for him from the people around Chang'an!This kind of smoothness is not much better than getting married.

"Prince, I know that these gifts are not so much for the court or for me, but for you, the prince. However, you are also a member of the royal family, and the royal family can also be honored by you. I didn't Thinking of how the common people are so sure of you, I said back then that water can carry a boat and capsize it, now that you have won the affirmation of all the people, you are like a fish in water, you can swim freely!"

Li Chengqian bowed his head to listen to the teaching. Even if he took such an evaluation, he had to be extremely careful. After all, under normal circumstances, only the emperor was qualified to enjoy this honor, not the crown prince or empress.

The eldest grandson still had a bit of drunkenness on his face. He glanced at Su Yuan who was easy to move, sighed secretly, took off a gold hairpin from his head and stuck it on Su Yuan's head, saying: "The honor I bestow on you Jewelry, although it belongs to the queen, it’s okay for you to wear it on weekdays, and you don’t need to store it up.”
