prosperous Tang Dynasty

When Li Zhi, Empress Wu, Prince Li Hong and his prince and princess arrived at Linde Hall, it was already Xu time, the sky outside the hall was dark, and the lights inside were brightly lit.

His Majesty arrived at the sound of Eunuch Rui, and all the officials in the hall knelt down to salute, and shouted: "Your Majesty, I wait to see you, long live Your Majesty."

Li Zhi and Empress Wu sat in high positions, Li Zhi's face was a little pale, but Empress Wu's face was flushed, "Everyone loves you, and you are flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Today is the banquet of the court meeting, all ministers please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The positions of high positions are all in accordance with the title and official rank from high to low. Although Yang Gongren belongs to the clan of the Sui Dynasty, he was also the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he was even granted the title of Guan Guogong before he became an official.Yang Gongren's status is noble, so his position in Linde Hall is naturally not too low. Yang Siyi sits next to Yang Gongren, and his two grandsons sit behind them.

"Today is the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, and you all raise your glasses."

All the officials in the hall toasted and shouted New Year's greetings.

Yang Qihan looked up at Li Zhi on the golden lacquered and carved dragon throne, and what appeared in his mind was the old Tang book that said that after five years of Xianqing, Li Zhi's condition worsened, he became dizzy, unable to see, and had difficulty managing government affairs.It was also at this time that Empress Wu gradually took control of the government.

There was singing and dancing in the hall, and a group of women came gracefully and gracefully, surrounding a large drum in the center, on which were painted complicated peony flowers, and with the bright lights, there were faint golden lights flashing, which was extremely blurred.Women's sleeves are fluttering; bells and chimes are ringing, and the music is melodious.Sandalwood was lit on the base of the platform, and the smoke was lingering.

The singing and dancing in the palace has always been the best in the world, and the singing and dancing at the Wanchao Meeting held every three years is a place where all countries rush to learn.

The dances arranged every year are even more different, but Yang Qihan still looks a little awkward, especially the dancing posture looks the same as before.Yang Qihan couldn't help but twitched, the rehearsal of the palace dance was also very good, these people in the hall didn't notice it.

The crescent moon streaked across the exquisite turrets, casting a hazy yellow light on the high walls.

At the end of the court dinner, Yang Qixuan and Yang Qihan were left in the side hall by Prince Li Hong. Li Zhi and the Wu family had already left, and there were only a few sporadic fathers-in-law and maids cleaning in the huge Linde Hall.

"See His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness." Yang Qixuan followed her father-in-law to the side hall, and as soon as they entered, they saw Li Hong and Li Si chatting.

"Pingshen." Li Hong held a brocade handkerchief in his hand, and started coughing as soon as he responded.The father-in-law and court ladies next to Li Hong were anxious, and several of them wanted to go to Xuanzhao imperial doctor to come over. "Qixuan, Qihan, you guys came a bit late. Solitude and stability have been waiting for a while."

"It's Qi Xuan's fault for making His Highness wait longer."

"You all step back." Li Hong waved his hand, making all the fathers-in-law and maids in the side hall to step back.Seeing that most of the father-in-law and maids in the side hall had left, Li Hong smiled and said, "Qixuan, come on, let's go and play chess. As for Qihan and An Ding, let them chat by themselves."

"..." Yang Qihan missed a beat in his heart, and his eyes fell on Li Si who was beside Li Hong. Yang Qihan blushed a little. Li Si's clothes today were somewhat similar to hers, with light blue silver patterns embroidered with hundreds of The butterfly flower dress is rustling in the wind.The waist is tightened, the simple peach heart bun is worn, and only a few white pearls are worn, reflecting the black and green luster of the cloud silk. A thin silver tassel hangs from a jade hairpin obliquely, and the thick blue silk is soft and soft. Lay it down and let it hang over your shoulders.There was a contented expression on his face, and a charming smile that seemed to be a smile that was not a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Yang Qihan didn't know what to say, and he didn't know what to say.

Li Si and Yang Qihan were left in the side hall. Yang Qihan only felt that the air in the hall was condensed, and the atmosphere was even more awkward.

"Princess..." Yang Qihan was really depressed, Li Si would stare at her every time she yelled, she really liked calling her by her baby name so much. "Princess, now that she is in the palace, Qi Han dare not do anything wrong."

"You and I already have a marriage contract, so what's wrong with calling your baby name?"

"...Having said that, it's too polite..."

Before Yang Qihan finished speaking, Li Si grabbed her sleeve and ran away.

Yang Qihan never thought that Li Si would take him to the kitchen in Linde Palace, let alone that Li Si wanted to eat the leg of lamb that he roasted in Tanmeiyuan last time.But fortunately, Li Si didn't intend to ask Yang Qihan to do it himself, but just asked her to guide the imperial chef. This back and forth took a lot of time, and when the roasting was over, Li Si and the others were also hungry.

"The taste of this barbecue is not much different from what you cooked last time."

"The technique is the same and the seasoning is the same, so naturally there won't be much difference." Yang Qihan ate the freshly roasted mutton, and only tasted it symbolically. She suddenly remembered what he said when she met Li Hong outside the palace that day. pass.

In fact, Her Royal Highness just wanted to eat her roasted meat, but the imperial chef in the palace didn't make it taste like that, so even after the dinner on the first day, Li Hong asked their brothers to come over.

Li Hong and Yang Qixuan were playing chess in the back palace, and when the father-in-law came to report, the result of the game had not yet been announced.

"I didn't expect An Ding to ask Qi Han to roast a leg of lamb for her." Li Hong held a white son with a smile on his face, "The temperaments of An Ding and Qi Han are also matched. Good husband and son-in-law. Gu is now thinking that after they get married in the future, they might be very affectionate."

"Your Highness is right." Yang Qixuan gave birth to a son, "It's just that Your Majesty didn't set a wedding date for the princess and Qi Han, and Qixuan thinks that His Majesty and Queen want to stay for a few more years."

"An Ding is the eldest daughter of my mother. She grew up with her since she was a child, so she will inevitably want to stay longer." Li Hong looked at the chessboard and gave birth to a son. .”

"Fun?"

"That's right, the lot my father chose for Anding happened to be next to your mother's house. After my father heard about it, he made the decision and gave the middle piece to Anding, saying that he would use it as a garden when the mansion was built, and it can also be used as a garden when the sun is shining in the future." Stay away from the summer heat." Li Hong took a sip of his tea, "A few days ago my father told Gu that An Ding and Qi Han are really destined."

"If you are destined to have a share, that is a match made in heaven." Yang Qixuan was also happy when he heard it, and looking at Yang Qihan's expression when he met Princess Anding, he felt that his brother just didn't know Princess Anding's goodness before, so he would have emotions against the marriage.

"I'm afraid I'm afraid that the female university will not stay. In a while, my sister will have her father order a wedding date." Li Hong laughed loudly after finishing speaking.

"Your Highness, even if His Majesty has set a wedding date for the princess, it must be after His Highness." Yang Qihan paused, looked up at Li Hong who was directly in front of him, and said with a smile, "Qi Xuan can wait for Your Highness's wedding wine." It's been more than three years, and finally Qi Xuan has waited."

"Didn't you make the lady of the Lin family wait for five or six years? You just started making fun of me when you got married." Li Hong couldn't help laughing and scolding, "But you and the lady of the Lin family are childhood sweethearts and lovers, and now they are finally married. It's also a good thing. You have to treat people well and don't hurt their hearts. "

"Your Highness, you have been wronged by doing this. Qi Xuan has been clean since her wedding, and has never gone out to look for flowers..."

"Tsk tsk, it seems that this palace came at an inappropriate time." Li Si and Yang Qihan stood there a little awkwardly, especially because what happened inside happened to be inside the house. Although they had a marriage contract, they hadn't saluted yet. It's really embarrassing to be here.Li Si yelled regretfully in his heart, he should have let his father-in-law report it just now, otherwise there would be such embarrassment.

Yang Qihan pretending to be wandering: "..."

"Ahem, An Ding, Qi Han did it." Seeing Yang Qixuan's uneasy expression, Li Hong opened his mouth to make a rescue, "I ate at Tanmeiyuan last time, and my mouth was fragrant."

"His Royal Highness praised it, but it's just that I have done it a few times when I usually go out hunting, and I just got started."

"It's really admirable to have such a taste after just doing it a few times."

"Fifth brother, we brought some over here, eat and see if it looks like what you ate that day."

"it is good."

Even though today is Yuan Day, the palace gate has also been postponed for three hours to close due to the dinner party.It's just that Yang Qixuan and Yang Qixuan were kept by Li Hong and Li Si for a long time. When they left the palace, the gate of the palace was closed. Being prepared, this saved the two of them from being imprisoned.

In the middle of the night on Chang'an Avenue, a few figures can still be vaguely seen walking back and forth on the road.

Yang Qixuan and Yang Qixuan galloped past on the street on horses, and they seemed to want to go back to rest earlier.

"Han'er, today's roast leg of lamb was made by yourself."

"That's natural." Yang Qihan clamped the horse's belly between his legs, "Today, the princess said she wanted to eat it often, so I asked the imperial chef to write down the steps and let them figure it out by themselves."

"Han'er, the gentleman stays away from the kitchen, so don't do this kind of thing in the future."
