All the ministers for the morning court in Taiji Hall have taken their positions.

Li Shimin has been in the imperial study for a quarter of an hour. Waiting for Su Chen to attend the court in front of all the ministers is really unworthy of the emperor.

"Has that kid entered the hall?"

Li Shimin walked to the door of the study and raised his wrist to check the time. It was only half a cup of tea before the morning court began.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Su just got off the carriage!"

When Su Chen and his party entered Mingde Gate, which was ten miles away from the palace, a guard delivered the news to the palace. When Li Shimin heard that Su Chen entered Suque Gate, he was completely relieved.

It can be seen how much the emperor distrusted Su Chen to get up early to attend the court.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Su and the King of Shu have entered Taiji Hall!" An eunuch who was responsible for keeping an eye on Su Chen's movements in Taiji Hall reported.

Li Shimin was relieved and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"You bastard boy, letting you attend the court makes me feel like I'm back on the day of my ascension!"

He put his fists behind his back and cursed in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the time is right..." The old king came to Li Shimin and bowed to invite him.

Li Shimin raised his hand to interrupt the old king's words, looking arrogant, "No hurry, let that boy wait a little longer, I want him to know... who is the emperor!"

"Your Majesty... is wise!" The old king bowed and quietly stepped aside, secretly looking up at Li Shimin.

He said in his heart: 'There are few people like this in ancient times! '

"Su Hou, good morning!" The ministers greeted Su Chen enthusiastically, and as for the Shu Wang Li Ke who was traveling with him, they just bowed their hands symbolically.

"Good morning, everyone! Have you eaten?"

Although Su Chen didn't know much about etiquette, he didn't put on airs either, and responded to the ministers present one by one with a bow.

"When did you come back, Your Highness?" Su Chen noticed that Li Chengqian had been facing away from him, and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Li Ke knew his status and did not walk to the front, so he stood quietly at the end of the group of civil officials.

"Shh! Keep your voice down. This is the morning court. When I returned to the palace yesterday, my father just returned to the palace from the manor." Li Chengqian made a gesture to silence, and then covered his eyes with his hands.

"Huh? What's wrong with your face? Did you get hit?" Su Chen found that Li Chengqian's left eye seemed to be slightly red and swollen.

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes at Su Chen, "What's the big deal? I just bumped into the door frame last night. It's just a little scratch, not worth mentioning!"

"Oh, then you should be careful when walking next time!"

Su Chen reminded him without thinking about anything else, and then turned around and glanced around. He nodded and smiled at Fang Xuanling and others, and then asked Li Chengqian:

"Has the Western Regions envoy not arrived yet?"

"The envoy needs to be summoned by my father!" Li Chengqian replied briefly.

Su Chen nodded and said "oh".

At this time, a loud and weak voice sounded in the hall:

"Your Majesty has arrived, and all the ministers are here early!"

Then, Li Shimin took a full stance and walked towards the emperor's exclusive seat for court.

"Your Majesty!" All the ministers greeted the emperor in unison with the ceremony of heavenly bowing.

Su Chen looked left and right and hurriedly followed suit.

Li Shimin turned around and waved his sleeves, "My dear ministers, please don't be polite, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor sat down only after the ministers took their seats.

Li Shimin looked at Su Chen, a slight arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he signaled Wang Defa with his eyes.

"Send...the Western Regions envoys to the palace!"

There was nothing else to do in the morning court today. The Western Regions envoys were summoned to discuss trade, that's all.

The Western Regions envoy Wutuo, the deputy envoy Amoxicillin, and the brother and sister Zhao Yun and Zhao Yu had already been arranged to wait in the side hall, just waiting for the emperor to summon them.

Soon, the eunuch led Wutuo and the other four to the Taiji Palace.

"Wutuo, the Western Regions envoy, greets His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Wutuo paid homage to Li Shimin with the highest etiquette of the Western Regions.

"No need to be polite, worthy envoy!" Li Shimin raised his hand calmly without losing his courtesy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone was not surprised at all that people from the Western Regions could speak Chinese.

Since the Han Dynasty, many vassal states not only learned Chinese, but many small countries even promoted Chinese characters as their own writing.

"Deputy envoy Amoxicillin greets His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

Su Chen instinctively turned his body when he heard the name. He wanted to see what Amoxicillin looked like.

Li Shimin noticed Su Chen's actions and was a little confused.

"Your Majesty, this is the third prince of the Western Regions, Pati... Zhao Yun, and Princess Pati Zhao Yu." Wu Tuo didn't know how to introduce the two siblings. One said he wanted to use a Chinese name, and the other wanted to use his real name.

Princess Zhao Yu of the Western Regions saluted Li Shimin with the Western Regions' standard etiquette for meeting an elder.

Li Shimin smiled and nodded slightly, and glanced at Su Chen at the same time.

"As that kid said, the appearance of the princess of the Western Regions is really excellent!"

"Zhao Yun, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!" Zhao Yun saluted with his fists firmly. This kind of etiquette in the court was very popular.This style is rare.

Li Shimin smiled even more, nodded gently, and then invited the four people from the Western Regions to take a seat.

The Western Regions envoys had already prepared seats in the hall, located in the middle of the officials facing the emperor.

"This kid looks about the same age as Lao Wu, quite interesting!"

"Huh? Prince?" Zhao Yun saw Li Chengqian standing with Su Chen in the front.

"Prince, do you still remember me? We met somewhere three days ago." Zhao Yun immediately walked up to Li Chengqian to get close to him.

"Don't be rude!" This was the first time Zhao Yu spoke.

"Uh~ Sorry, I'm too excited!" Zhao Yun stopped and scratched his head, bowing to Li Shimin to apologize.

"Haha, no problem! Just come up!" Li Shimin waved his hand and smiled and pointed to Li Chengqian.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Yun looked at his sister, and seeing that she didn't move, he tentatively walked towards Li Chengqian.

"Father, three days ago, I met Zhao Yun and his party at Maweiyi." Li Chengqian was deeply impressed by Zhao Yun.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Yun nodded repeatedly, and at the same time approached Li Chengqian again and sat down, "Prince, can I ask you about someone?"

Li Chengqian and Su Chen looked at each other, both with doubts in their eyes.

This Zhao Yun should be the first time to come to the Tang Dynasty, who could he know?

"Well, tell me, what is this person's surname?" Li Chengqian smiled and nodded.

Zhao Yun shook his head, "I don't know what his name is, Uncle A said: Others call him 'Marquis'!"

"Marquis? He is!" Li Chengqian smiled faintly and pointed to Su Chen beside him.

"The only Marquis in the Tang Dynasty!"

Zhao Yun didn't know the seating rules of the ministers in the Tang Dynasty, but Wu Tuo, Amoxicillin and Zhao Yu knew about it.

Before, they thought that Su Chen was a Tang prince second only to the crown prince.

Who would have thought that he was just a marquis, but he could sit with the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"Ah! You are the marquis?" Zhao Yun looked at Su Chen for a few seconds, then immediately got up from the floor and bowed to the bottom, "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings!"

Zhao Yun's sudden operation confused everyone, including Li Shimin.

Originally, Su Chen had a calm and indifferent look, but now he was stunned and thought to himself: 'My reputation has spread to the Western Regions? '

After coming to his senses, Su Chen jumped up:

"What the hell? Wait a minute, what kind of master are you worshipping? I don't have the ability to teach any apprentice!"

Zhao Yun immediately stood up and walked to Su Chen's side.

"Master, stop pretending. Uncle A said that you are the immortal of the Tang Dynasty!"

Su Chen was stunned, "Who is Uncle A?"

"Uncle A is Atana!"

Su Chen understood and nodded.

"Master, you agreed. Disciple Zhao Yun greets you!" Zhao Yun saw Su Chen nod, and bowed again in great joy.

"Get lost, I can't be your master, there is nothing to teach you!"
