Tang Fengzhi Chengqian

Snow Feast (3)…

In the evening, the meal is over.

Emperor Taizong held the tea bowl soaked in red jade and blew it gently. Looking at the well-behaved Cheng Qian sitting on the cushion, he asked, "What are you going to do later?"

Chengqian thought for a while, but he hadn't written the few big characters Wei Zhengwei had arranged for him yet.Then he said crisply, "Father, son, I plan to finish the big characters arranged by Mr. Wei later."

Emperor Taizong nodded, smiled and said, "Okay, please write, and I will check it for you."

Cheng Qian was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uncomfortable, is the father all busy with government affairs today?Don't need to pamper the harem when you're done with your work?

But there is still an obedient smile on his face, but his heart is always a little uncomfortable, especially when he thinks of the father holding him today, and the empress mother, although the surface is gentle, but the banter in the eyes is obvious. Every time Cheng Qian thinks of it now, I feel like I was being teased by my mother...

But I don't understand where this feeling comes from.

With big characters written, Chengqian tried his best to calm himself down.

Slowly, it was also useful, and my heart slowly calmed down.

Emperor Taizong sat aside, looking at Chengqian's focused and thin face, his heart was peaceful and comfortable.

In the Qihui Palace in November, it was cold and windy outside, but warm and comfortable inside.

********************

On the fifth day of November, the Snow Banquet was held in Linde Hall.

On this day, the snow fell slowly, some fell on the tree branches that had already lost their leaves, like pear blossoms just opened, some fell on the window sill, the sun was shining, the snow dripped, and some fell on the frozen lake. On the Jiuqu River, there is a thick layer, which makes people want to step on it and experience the soft feeling.

Chengqian sat in a wheelchair, Xiao Jinzi accompanied him, and Xiao Yinzi carefully pushed the wheelchair.Behind him, there are Hongyu, Zhu'er and several other court ladies.

Walking slowly along the way, Chengqian looked at the snowy scene in the imperial garden from time to time, his delicate eyes were peaceful, with a serene expression, rolling in his arms would show his head from time to time, his dark eyes seemed very curious.

They walked the closest corridor between Qihui Hall and Linde Hall. The corridor is very long and wide. The ground paved with bluestone and the tall pillars on both sides well isolate the flying snowflakes outside, but occasionally there are A few mischievous snowflakes floated into the corridor, twirled and twirled, and then quietly stuck to the ground, waiting for the moment to turn into spring. Occasionally, a few flakes floated in front of Cheng Qian. Stepping forward to brush away the mischievous snowflakes, he turned his head and smiled at Cheng Qian's silent stare.

Chengqian felt helpless, knowing that it was his father's stern order, he turned his head and didn't open his mouth to reprimand.

On the other hand, Xiao Yinzi bowed his head flatteringly, "Your Highness, why don't I buy some fun things for you?"

Cheng Qian shook his head slightly, the so-called fun is just something for children to play with, and he is not a real child.

"Forget it, I'll just take a look at the scenery." Cheng Qian said, then looked at the scenery not far away.

Little Yinzi and Little Jinzi looked at each other, and had no choice but to push the wheelchair and move on.

When he arrived at the corner of the corridor, Eunuch Li Fu came in a hurry, and he was slightly relieved when he saw Cheng Qian.After finishing his clothes, Li Fu stepped forward to salute respectfully with a solemn face, and said in a low voice, "My servant, Li Fu, has seen Your Highness."

"Eunuch Fu, but the emperor has a will?" Cheng Qian was very confused when he saw Li Fu coming in a hurry.

"It was His Majesty who saw that His Highness hadn't arrived yet, and was worried about His Highness, so he ordered his servants to come and inquire." Li Fu bent down and replied respectfully, peeking at Chengqian's clothes, well, very good, and the cloak given by His Majesty is also approved.

Cheng Qian was a little speechless, he will come now, it shouldn't be too late, right?

"Eunuch Fu, but the banquet has already started?" Cheng Qian asked, feeling a little puzzled. Usually, the father and queen are the last to arrive at a banquet. Could it be that the banquet has already started?

Li Fu shook his head and said in a low voice, "If you go back to Your Highness, the banquet has not started yet, but His Majesty is already in the side hall right now, please go to the side hall with your servants."

Cheng Qian was taken aback for a moment, what did his father call him to the side hall?

But after being taken aback for a while, Cheng Qian smiled, "Then I will trouble Eunuch Fu to lead the way."

Li Fu bent down and saluted respectfully, "Slaves are terrified." After finishing speaking, when he got up, he happened to meet Gun Gun who was hidden in Cheng Qian's arms, his round black eyes blinked and blinked, and Li Fu's expression froze. , then turned around silently, bowed and led the way.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Cheng Qian quietly watched the scenery along the way, turned two secluded corners, Cheng Qian's heart sank slightly, so there is still such a way to Linde Hall?Although he has lived in this palace for more than 20 or [-] years, Cheng Qian really didn't know there was such a way. Turning his fingers, Cheng Qian slightly curled the corner of his mouth, which is really interesting.

However, why did the emperor call him here?

Chengqian felt a little uneasy, although these days together with his father could be worth his whole life.But Cheng Qian always felt a kind of uneasiness in his heart. As for the uneasiness, Cheng Qian couldn't explain why.

Li Fu led the way to the gate of the secluded palace, and after nodding respectfully to Cheng Qian, he knelt down on the ground and respectfully reported, "My servant, Li Fu, begs to see Your Majesty."

"Come in." The thick and slightly deep voice said lightly.

After Li Fu saluted respectfully, he stood up, took the wheelchair, and nodded slightly to Xiao Jinzi and Xiao Yinzi. The threshold of the side hall was no different from that of the Qihui Hall. The threshold for demolition is very high, Li Fu bent down and whispered to Cheng Qian, "Please forgive me for the crime of disrespect."

Cheng Qian smiled and shook his head, "Eunuch Fu doesn't need to worry about it."

Li Fu squeezed out a smile, stretched out his arms to hug Cheng Qian, and walked in.As soon as he walked in, Emperor Taizong came in a hurry. Seeing Li Fu hugging Cheng Qian, his face darkened, Cheng Qian was startled, confused and a little nervous, is the emperor angry?And Cheng Qian also obviously felt Li Fu's hand trembling holding him.

Immediately, Emperor Taizong, who came with strides, hugged Chengqian, and said to Li Fu who was kneeling on the ground, "Okay, you step back first."

Cheng Qian grabbed Emperor Taizong's neck, looked at Emperor Taizong's expression carefully, and asked in a low voice, "Father? What's wrong?"

Emperor Taizong lowered his head, seeing the undisguised cautiousness between Chengqian's brows, he softened his face a little, and said softly, "It's okay, did you have any snacks before Gan'er came out?" He said while holding Chengqian to the decoration, which is relatively simple In front of the only couch in the side hall.

But he was deciding in his heart that he would never let anyone other than himself hold Gan'er, seeing how Li Fu hugged him, what if he fell Gan'er? !

Gently put Chengqian down, and after Chengqian sat down, he looked around from the corner of his eyes, it seems that this should be the place where the father rested before the banquet, right?

It's just why the emperor called him here?

Chengqian was confused, but his face was still calm.After Emperor Taizong put down Chengqian, he turned around and brought a plate of pastries.

"Gan'er, try this, it's called Crystal Cake. Gan'er doesn't like to eat too sweet, this kind of Gan'er should like it?"

Cheng Qian stared blankly at the crystal cake in Emperor Taizong's hand. Did the emperor call him just to let him taste the crystal cake?

Seeing Chengqian in a daze, Emperor Taizong simply handed the crystal cake to Chengqian, smiled and said, "Come on, try it."

Cheng Qian was a little tangled in his heart, but seeing Emperor Taizong's smiling face was no longer gloomy, and his sharp eyes looked at him softly, he couldn't help but slightly opened his mouth, and bit down the crystal cake in front of him.

"Is it delicious?" Emperor Taizong asked eagerly.

Cheng Qian chewed the crystal cake in his mouth slowly, the taste was not very sweet, it was light and soft, Cheng Qian nodded slowly, yes it was delicious, he liked it very much.

Emperor Taizong raised his eyebrows, and smiled proudly, "I knew Qianer would like it." After finishing speaking, he simply picked up Chengqian and sat on his lap, picked up the crystal cake, and fed Chengqian.

Cheng Qian wanted to say that he could eat it, but seeing Emperor Taizong's joyful and complacent expression at this time, there was a novelty in his heart, a soft feeling, he had never seen his father like this, as proud as a child, And the joy that seems to emanate from the depths of the soul.He swallowed the words that came to his mouth, opened his mouth silently, and bit down another piece of crystal cake in front of him.

Perhaps it was because he and his father were the only ones in the side hall at this time, and the uneasiness in his heart seemed to be a little less.

Studying the complacency on Emperor Taizong's face, Cheng Qian couldn't help asking, "Father, is this crystal cake made by the imperial kitchen?"

The pride on his father's face always made him feel that this crystal cake seemed to be made by his father.

Emperor Taizong raised his eyebrows, "To be precise, it was developed by the father and the imperial dining room."

Chengqian was stunned.

It seemed that Chengqian's dull appearance could always please him. Emperor Taizong couldn't help pinching Chengqian's face, and said with a teasing smile, "Why? You are so surprised by the development of delicious food by Father?"

Cheng Qian came back to his senses, a little embarrassed, Na Na said, "No, it's just that Father is so busy with state affairs on weekdays, it shouldn't be..."

"Shouldn't touch these things?" Emperor Taizong interjected, and then smiled lightly, "It's not a big deal for a father to make something delicious for his picky son."

When Cheng Qian heard it, he raised his head subconsciously, only to see Emperor Taizong smiling calmly and freely.

Cheng Qian's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but think of the last time, when he woke up from falling asleep in his father's arms, he was very embarrassed and embarrassed, and even a little angry.

That night, the father came to see him and had dinner in Qihui Hall.

In the evening, checking his calligraphy practice and pointing out some mistakes, he was in a bad mood and somewhat resisted, but his face was still calm, but his father could still see it.

He hugged him with a smile, and when he was about to decline in embarrassment, the father said, "It's nothing for a father to hug his son, is it?"

His heart trembled at that time, just like now, only then did he recall in a daze that this time was not the previous life, he was not the prince Chengqian, he was the King of Zhongshan.

The road is already different.

"Father, my son will eat well in the future." Cheng Qian said softly.

Emperor Taizong was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help hugging Chengqian tightly, with his chin resting on Chengqian's head, his heart agitated.
