The banquet is almost over!
The whole hall only heard the faint laughter of Su Chen's table. The other ministers were silent and didn't want to say anything extra.
The rich food in front of them was dizzying, so there was no time for chatting.
During the banquet, Atana, who was at the same table with the Honglu Temple and the Western Regions envoys, looked at Su Chen and Li Chengqian from time to time.
Although hot pot and other delicacies were good, he wanted to return to Persia as soon as possible and move his wife and children to the Tang Dynasty. However, Atana knew in his heart that it was not appropriate to talk to the crown prince Li Chengqian about this matter at the moment.
He could only find a suitable opportunity to report to Li Chengqian privately.
Atana was just a small figure, and no one paid much attention to him. Li Shimin was grateful for his contribution to the fact that he was fortunate enough to participate in the emperor's banquet today.
"Concubine Yang, you always said that Li Ke didn't like to talk to people and didn't talk much."
"It seems that's not entirely true today!"
Empress Changsun and others have put down their chopsticks with satisfaction. Although the hot pot is delicious, they can't just hold on.
"Well, Su Chen still has a way!" Concubine Yang glanced at Li Ke and showed a happy smile on her face.
Li Ke will be an adult man next year. According to his previous personality, it is probably hopeless for him to find a woman of his dreams and marry.
Concubine Yang talked about this with Empress Changsun and others some time ago. She was thinking about helping Li Ke find a suitable young lady next year.
Li Shimin smiled faintly when he heard the conversation between Empress Changsun and others.
He looked around the room and saw that most people had put down their chopsticks. "My dear ministers, are you satisfied with the banquet today?"
"Thank you again, Your Majesty!" All the ministers bowed in unison.
Li Shimin nodded with a smile on his face and looked at Fang Xuanling and others with his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the various ministries have government affairs to deal with. Please allow us to leave first!" The eight people at the table where Fang Xuanling was sitting stood up and bowed.
"Yes, yes!"
Li Shimin had been waiting for the ministers to leave. The banquet lasted for more than an hour, which was long enough.
"We will leave!"
Then, except for Su Chen's table, the other ministers stood up and left.
"Li Zhi, why don't we leave too?" Su Chen saw that everyone had eaten their fill and it was meaningless to sit there stupidly, so he decided to go back to the manor to be more comfortable.
Princess Changle looked at Alia, as if she was reluctant to part with her.
When the Western Regions envoy left just now, she also wanted to stand up and leave, but was left behind by Princess Changle.
Alia smiled and looked at Princess Changle, without any expression of separation. She thought it should not be too difficult to meet Princess Changle in the palace.
Princess Changle, who grew up in the palace since childhood, had no friends around her except Changsun Yao and Fang Jingyi. Today, I finally made a new friend who is also a princess, but we are about to part ways.
I am reluctant to leave. I don’t know when we will meet again after this separation.
There are many things involved in the manor, and Princess Changle also knows that she can’t take anyone with her, let alone people from the Western Regions.
"Yes." She didn’t want to embarrass Su Chen, and she nodded with reluctance.
"Then I will go and tell His Majesty and the Queen Mother." Su Chen looked at Princess Changle and smiled faintly, then stood up and walked towards Li Shimin.
"This girl, if you want to play with me, just say it! What is there in the manor that you can’t go to?"
Su Chen naturally understood what Princess Changle was thinking.
"Mother, how is the hot pot today?" Su Chen walked to Empress Changsun and asked with a smile.
Empress Changsun smiled and glanced at Li Shimin, "The hot pot is as delicious as always!"
She guessed that Su Chen was full and came to say goodbye to the emperor. He left after eating, Su Chen has always been like this!
"Twenty palace maids have been sent to the manor this morning. If you need help in the future, just send someone to the palace to tell me!"
Empress Changsun explained to Su Chen about sending out the palace maids.
"Okay!" Then, Su Chen looked at Xiao Sizi and pinched her two balls, "Xiao Sizi, are you full? We are going back!"
"Brother-in-law, I ate six beef balls, a lot of bacon!" The little girl showed off with six fingers on her hands.
Li Shimin's face turned cold when he heard Su Chen say that he was going back to the manor. "Boy, are you going back so early?" Li Shimin pointed at his watch and tapped it.
"Your Majesty, you don't know!" Su Chen walked to Li Shimin's side, "School is about to be closed, I have to go back and ask people to make more quilts, otherwise it will be cold to spend the night outside!"
Then he pointed to Li You, "Also, Li You's more than 500 pregnant sows..."
"Shut up!" Although bacon is delicious, Li Shimin felt uncomfortable when he heard about sows. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a prince raising pigs.
Li Shimin slowly stood up and snorted.
Little Sizi quickly climbed down from the child seat and grabbed Su Chen's clothes tightly.
"After everything is ready, send someone two days in advanceSend a message! Understand?" Li Shimin glared at Su Chen and said unhappily.
"Hehe, don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand!"
Su Chen understood that the emperor's safety was even more important, and he must send people to arrange along the way in advance.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Li Ke and Rengui swept the bandits all the way before, I guess there should be no bandits in that direction now."
"Hehe!" Li Shimin looked at Su Chen and laughed.
As Su Chen said, after Li Ke and Rengui's robbery, not only did the mountain bandits in Chang'an to Shanxi disappear, but even many bandits in other prefectures took the initiative to surrender to the government and disband.
Just because of Li Ke and Xue Rengui's policy of clearing out bandits, if you dare to take up arms to resist, you will no longer accept surrender.
The only outcome of resistance is death, which led to those bandits who had never been involved in human lives giving up the idea of resistance.
"Well, you go back! "Li Shimin patted Su Chen on the shoulder.
"Okay, mother, all the aunts, let's go back first!" Su Chen bowed to Empress Changsun and others.
Empress Changsun smiled and nodded, "Su Chen..." glanced at Concubine Yang who was hesitant to speak.
Su Chen understood instantly, walked towards Li Ke's mother Concubine Yang, and whispered: "Aunt Yang, are you satisfied?"
"Well! If this can be accomplished, I will prepare a big gift for you when you marry Li Zhi!" Concubine Yang nodded heavily.
Concubine Yang has been observing the movements of Li Ke and Alia, and the more she sees, the more she thinks they are a good match.
"Hehe, no problem, no problem, I'll take care of this matter!" Su Chen looked like a snobbish villain, patting his chest and promising.
"Get out!" Li Shimin couldn't stand Su Chen's villain look, and laughed and scolded.
"Okay, I'll leave now! "Su Chen nodded and bowed, holding the little Sizi and returning to Princess Changle and the others. "Lizhi, let's go back!"
Princess Changle stood up and pursed her lips, feeling very conflicted.
Everyone left their seats and stood in the middle of the hall, ready to leave.
At this time, Princess Alia of the Western Regions seemed to realize that Princess Changle did not live in the palace.
"Lizhi, you..." Alia was a little depressed and stood up to ask.
"Alia, we don't live in the palace, we..." Princess Changle looked at Su Chen halfway through.
Su Chen smiled calmly, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Come here!" Princess Changle moved her chair and walked to Su Chen, and took him aside.
"What's the matter? "Su Chen pretended not to know.
Princess Changle glanced at Li Shimin cautiously, then stood on tiptoe and covered Su Chen's ear with both hands, whispering softly.
As if she was afraid of being heard by others.
Su Chen could clearly feel the hot breath Princess Changle exhaled when she spoke in his ear, warm and itchy!
"Hiss~! This matter... is difficult for me to deal with!" Su Chen picked his ears and flicked his fingers.
As if he was preparing to blackmail Princess Changle.
