Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 923 Square Dance

New Year's Eve.

Snowflakes suddenly fell in Chang'an City.

The snowflakes were not very big, but at dusk, the entire city of Chang'an was still covered in silver.

And just after dusk, Qin Tian and Jiu Gongzhu drove towards the palace in a carriage.

To put it bluntly, the palace banquet is the night watch of the royal family, so only those who are related to the royal family are eligible to come, and others can only watch the night at home with their families.

As the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Tian still has the qualifications to come.

Qin Tian actually disliked not celebrating the New Year in Lefang this year, because the palace banquet was a bit boring, and most importantly, he was going to leave his two beautiful wives at home.

In his opinion, this is a bit cruel.

But like the current situation, he has no other better way but to come.

Because there are only members of the royal family, or those who are related to the royal family, there are relatively fewer people in this year's palace banquet.

When Qin Tian and the Ninth Princess came, the hall was already filled with tables and chairs, and there were some gourmet fruits on them, but everyone else was standing and chatting with each other.

Before Li Shimin came, they didn't dare to go to the table.

As soon as Qin Tian and Princess Jiu arrived, Princess Danyang waved to them.

"Here, here..."

Princess Jiu and Qin Tian walked towards Princess Danyang, Danyang seemed a little lost today.

"His Royal Highness looks unhappy."

After walking over, Qin Tian asked a question, Princess Danyang rolled her eyes, and said, "This year's palace banquet is really boring, who can be happy?"

In previous years, she could watch programs at Lefang. In her opinion, it was still very interesting, but this year, I'm afraid I can only stay up all night.

Qin Tian smiled, but didn't say anything.

Everyone was chatting like this, and not long after, Li Shimin brought the eldest grandson queen and the others to the main hall, and everyone hurriedly saluted, Li Shimin waved his hands: "Sit down, today is a family banquet, you don't have to be polite."

After saying this, other people sat down one after another, and then some people served food, and these foods were all hot dishes.

When these hot dishes were served, everyone was taken aback because they had never seen these dishes before.

Several kinds of hot dishes were served, all of which they had never eaten before, so when they were ready to eat, they couldn't help but take a bite.

After taking this bite, they immediately felt that these dishes were too delicious.

"I've never eaten such a delicious dish before."

"Me too, it's delicious, it's really delicious..."

"good to eat……"

The crowd was very intoxicated, but besides delicious, they seemed to have no other words to describe it.

This delicious meal made them feel that today's palace banquet was not bad, and it was not in vain.

Princess Danyang's chopsticks flew like flying, as if they had never stopped. Princess Jiu was sitting next to her. Seeing her like this, she couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"Eat slowly, if you want to eat later, just ask Qin Tian to make it for you."

Not everyone can eat the food in the palace, so Princess Danyang couldn't help eating it. When she heard that Qin Tian was asked to cook, Princess Danyang was taken aback, and then she seemed to understand something.

"Is this the delicacy made by Qin Tian?"

Ninth Princess nodded and said proudly, "Who else could there be besides him?"

Princess Danyang's answer was confirmed, and finally slowed down. Of course, he would not be shocked by Qin Tian's food cooking, because he had already seen how powerful Qin Tian was before.
-
After the food was finished, everyone chatted with each other, and Li Shimin occasionally gave the minister some food or other rewards.

This is also a means for him to win over his courtiers.

At such a time, it is definitely a great honor for those ministers to be rewarded by the emperor.

Moreover, the more you get, the more favored you are.

However, after doing this, Ion Night was still early, but everyone suddenly had nothing to do.

The topics that should be discussed are almost covered, and everyone is a little bit less interested.

Many people suddenly feel nostalgic for the days when they celebrated the New Year in Lefang. That was the night watch, and that was the New Year.

Everyone murmured a little in their hearts, thinking that although this was a bit grand, it really didn't mean much.

Li Shimin naturally felt the sudden coldness of the atmosphere, so he winked at Qin Tian from time to time, hoping that Qin Tian would do something interesting.

After all, before that, he had already told Qin Tian to make this palace banquet more lively.

It's just that Li Shimin kept winking, but Qin Tian pretended not to know it, and occasionally took a bite of food, drank a sip of wine, and then chatted with the nine princesses, and didn't take Li Shimin's winks seriously at all.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't want to take it seriously, but that there was nothing he could do.

Such a palace banquet, what interesting things can come out?
Ever since Li Shimin told him, he had been thinking about it when he got home, but he really couldn't think of anything interesting, so now, he could only procrastinate, and if he stayed up for another hour, the vigil might be over.

Seeing that Qin Tian ignored him, Li Shimin immediately became a little angry.

After coughing dryly twice, Li Shimin asked suddenly: "Qin Aiqing, the palace banquet is already over half now, do you have any performances?"

Li Shimin said, Qin Tian pretended to be deaf and dumb, it was a bit unreasonable, he stood up bravely, let him perform, and it had to be interesting and lively, it was really embarrassing, so after he stood up, he really didn't know what to do measures.

"Qin Aiqing?" Li Shimin shouted, his tone was a bit cold, he had been talking to Qin Tian for several days, but it didn't work, it's no wonder Li Shimin wasn't angry.

But at this time, the others looked at Qin Tian with a very expectant look.

Pressed by Li Shimin and looked at like this, Qin Tian secretly bit his lips, and then cursed secretly: "His grandma, he worked hard..."

Thinking about it, Qin Tian said, "Your Majesty, how about we dance."

Upon hearing the dance, Li Shimin's complexion became more and more ugly.

Indeed, sometimes everyone drinks together, and when they get drunk, they will dance some dances, such as some dances adapted from the Qin King's Breaking the Battle, this dance is non-stop bouncing and jumping, a bit similar to the dance of demons.

But the picture is exciting and crazy.

However, at a palace banquet like today, dancing is a bit inappropriate. There are both men and women, as well as children, how can they dance?
Li Shimin suppressed his anger and asked, "Qin Aiqing wants to dance, but what kind of dance do you want to dance?"

Qin Tian thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, let's do something different, square dance."
