With a "bang--" the door of the hall was pushed open.
The people in the room were stunned, and the Princess Gao Yang who was standing at the door was stunned.
"So many people..." Princess Gao Yang murmured, and hurried back a few steps to stand behind a person wearing a long purple fur cloak.
The emperor, Li Shimin. Behind him, Qin Shubao and his wife were also there.
Qin Mubai was the first to come back to his senses and hurriedly got up to greet him. Li Shimin laughed and waved his hand with a "Long live my emperor", "No need to be polite! Forget it! I am also here to visit relatives and friends today. Going through the door. Well, it's so lively, so many people!"
Li Ke and Wu Meiniang also stood up and came forward together to pay respect.
"Well, that's all, I said that there is no need to be polite." Li Shimin smiled and called Qin Mubai closer, and said, "Uncle Bao, my idea is good? You said, if we two are there for you It’s so boring to drink at the banquet at the house! Look at your Saburo, the house is much more lively than your old Qin’s house, haha!"
Qin Shubao also caressed his beard and smiled a few times, and said: "The dog is innocent, please invite your majesty and the princess into the house?"
"Yes, we are rude, your majesty, please, princess please!" Qin Mubai stood aside and greeted him.
Princess Gao Yang wore a thick purple-blue goose yellow leather jacket and a white snow-shelter cloak with a big red flower. She only showed half of her face, like a doll. She followed Li Shimin with a smile and walked in. When she passed Qin Mubai, no matter how many people were there, she turned her face and quickly spit out her tongue and retracted, making a face.
"It's really indecent!" Li Shimin immediately shook his head and smiled. The others naturally saw it, so they laughed together very cooperatively.
Princess Gaoyang gave a hey smile, hugged Li Shimin's arm and turned her head over. In a blink of an eye, she saw Wu Meiniang again. She was startled and blinked a few times and murmured:" Mei Niang is here too..."
"See the princess." Wu Meiniang had no choice but to come out and give a salute.
"Oh..." Princess Gao Yang nodded blankly, then looked back at Qin Mubai, then smiled and waved her hand, "Don't be gifted! Father said, today I just came to visit relatives and friends. No need to be polite!"
Everyone saw the two women meet face to face, and they were afraid of some sparks from them, so the atmosphere became a little serious. Li Shimin secretly pulled Princess Gao Yang and took her to the hall, pointing to the cot around the brazier and laughing a few times: "Not bad! Reunion!"
"San Lang, don't hesitate to clean up a few couches, invite your majesty and the princess to sit down?" Qin Shubao hurriedly stepped forward.
"Oh, no!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile, "I haven't been crowded with people like this for many years. Remember when I was marching and fighting, I drank a bar around a campfire like this? Today is just right, everyone is here to sit down, regardless of age or inferiority, sitting together in a circle. Let's drink and eat meat and chat with the sea and the sky. Didn't Mu Bai play a good pipa? It's a good time to show off his skill today!"
"Hehe, Your Majesty, how can this be done?" Qin Shubao smiled, "Isn't this all out of style?"
Li Shimin laughed: "Uncle Bao, things like ethics and rules are most used in scenes. When you go to the palace, I am the monarch and you are the ministers. Then you must be meticulous, otherwise the country will not become the country and the law will not be the law; this After going down the palace, I also need friends to be happy! Haha, no need to say more, come, sit down, sit down!"
After that, Li Shimin first took Qin Shubao and sat down beside him. Princess Gao Yang was conscious, and she sat down on the other side of Li Shimin. The emperor said so, and everyone else had to sit down one after another.
But the atmosphere is still somewhat restrained. After all, Li Shimin is present, it is impossible to be as unscrupulous as before.
Li Shimin took the initiative to open the chatterbox and asked Li Ke: "Keer, why did you all gather at Qin Mubai's mansion today, what good is it?"
"Returning to the words of his father, Mu Bai said that today is the joy of his housewarming, and I invite the emperor and others to come to the gathering to celebrate." Li Ke replied with his hand.
"Oh, what a coincidence I came here, haha!" Li Shimin laughed a few times, then pondered a few times, untied a piece of dragon-print jade pendant on his waist and handed it to Qin Mubai, saying: "Mubai , I don’t know that the news came in a hurry, so I didn’t prepare a gift. Take this piece of jade as a gift! Father and daughter, we can’t eat your wine and meat for nothing!"
"Hehe, Father is so generous once, Mu Bai, take it soon!" Qin Mubai didn't say a word yet, Princess Gao Yang grabbed the jade pendant and came to Qin Mubai first. .
"This can't be done!" Qin Mubai hurriedly picked up the jade pendant and handed it back, and said, "This dragon-pattern jade pendant is used by the royal family, how dare the ministers presumptuously?"
"Haha, you are so stupid!" Princess Gao Yang blurted out, "It won't be long before you are the emperor, what's wrong?"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole room was quiet.
Everyone was neatly stunned, and many people looked at Wu Meiniang in unison.
Wu Meiniang sat in the same place with Qin Shuang'er and other female streams, with a dignified expression and a slight smile. When she heard the words of Princess Gao Yang, she didn't have any strange reaction, but smiled: "Why do you guys look at me?"
Princess Gao Yang also came back to her senses, her face flushed with embarrassment, she gave a dry laugh twice, then retracted to Li Shimin's side, silent.
Li Shimin still smiled and said: "It's just a piece of jade, no fuss. I don’t have one thousand and eight hundred. You can treat it as dozens of rice dollars, and just accept it."
"Hehe, your Majesty said so, but the Weichen was disrespectful. Thank you for the reward!" Qin Mubai had to accept it, otherwise this embarrassment may continue.
The servants in the mansion were shocked by the arrival of the emperor, and they were already busy working in the kitchen with their full horsepower. Qin Shubao was afraid that Qin Mubai's family would not be able to cope at the moment, and when he was leaving, he hurriedly recruited the cook servant from his house to come and help. At the time of the New Year, every family has good wine and meat, and this thing is not in short supply. So after a while, a lot of wine and food were presented. Among them is a roasted whole lamb that was made by a Hu Ren's cook. It was fragrant and golden and oily. It was almost roasted and moved to the hall to keep it warm on the brazier, so that everyone could use knives to cut the food.
"Haha, it's really a pleasure, it's worth the trip!" Li Shimin laughed heartily, "After a year of busy work, everyone is tired, and it is time to relax and rest. I can't afford Gao Yang's pleading today, so Accompany her out of the palace to play and enjoy the snow. Unexpectedly, you have hit such a wonderful situation-come, men use a cup and women use a cup, everyone will drink the wine, I respect you!"
Everyone toasted and drank. Immediately many people coughed violently. Li Shimin smiled and said, "Qin Xianjiu is indeed well-deserved! I have drunk it for almost a year, but it is still less than three cups. Uncle Bao, you and I have not drunk like this in some years, so dare to conspire with me today. Are you drunk?"
"Heh! The old minister sacrificed his life to accompany you!" Qin Shubao smiled and toasted, and was about to come to respect Li Shimin. Li Shimin hurriedly pushed him back and smiled: "Slow down, slow down! I'd better eat some good meat and then get drunk!"
"Haha--" The whole hall laughed.
Seeing that the emperor is so generous and tolerant to mingle with everyone, everyone feels relieved.
Princess Gao Yang hid beside Li Shimin, grinning and winking at Qin Mubai: "Hey, you are so stupid! Hurry up and cut the meat for the father!"
Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, walked to the middle and picked up a bright silver knife to cut a piece of lamb belly tenderness and handed it to the emperor's bowl. Li Shimin smiled and said: "Mu Bai, you can listen to her regardless of size, and spoil her. This girl is wild and has fierce temperament. There is no right way to behave. You have to handle it yourself. Click!"
"Weichen knows." Qin Mubai chuckled, seeing Qin Shubao and Liu on the side all smiles, as if enjoying the emperor's care of them as a family.
"Emperor Father loves to speak ill of me." Princess Gao Yang flicked her mouth, her eyes turned flexibly, and grinningly grabbed the bright silver knife in Qin Mubai's hand, and ran to cut the meat in a decent manner. Helplessly, the child's hands were really awkward, and only a shred of sheepskin was torn off after a long time.
Qin Mubai stepped forward and smiled: "Forget it, let me help you!"
"I don't want you to help!" Princess Gao Yang frowned angrily, bit her silver teeth, and stabbed it down, like a pig with enough effort to finally cut a piece of meat.
"Haha!" Princess Gaoyang laughed heartily, unlucky.
Everyone also laughed, Wu Meiniang also smiled lightly, eating snacks casually.
Everyone thought that Princess Gao Yang would take the meat back to eat by herself. Unexpectedly, Princess Gao Yang used a knife to hold the good piece of meat and walked over to Wu Meiniang, smiling: "Mei Niang, I see you sitting I haven't eaten anything here, this good piece of meat is for you!"
The whole house was taken aback, all a little unexpected.
Wu Meiniang also looked up at Princess Gao Yang in surprise, and hurriedly got up and raised her bowl to pick it up: "How dare you bother your father and take the initiative? It's really a shameless shot!"
"Hehe, you are welcome!" Princess Gao Yang put the piece of meat into her bowl, tilted her head, grinned at Wu Meiniang, and walked back again.
"Huh..." There was a low, neat sigh from the audience.
Princess Gao Yang was taken aback: "What's the matter with you? Why are you looking at me like this?"
"It's fine, the princess should go back and sit down. The matter of cutting lamb and meat should be handed over to the minister." Qin Mubai smiled bitterly and pulled Princess Gao Yang back to her seat and sat down. Also took back the bright silver knife. I thought to myself: Fortunately, I thought that Princess Gao Yang would take advantage of his father's presence, and then do some pranks to bully or embarrass Wu Meiniang like before. I didn't expect it would be like this... Maybe, the emperor taught her. What?
Li Shimin also laughed: "Gao Yang, listen to Mu Bai. See what kind of lamb do you cut and what meat? Let him come!"
"Hmph, you just look down on me!" Princess Gao Yang poked her lips and muttered, "I still want to cut meat for Mrs. Yi and his wife, as well as the father and the third brother..."
"Oh, did you hear me!" Li Shimin chuckled, and said to Uncle Qin, "I have put me behind you and your wife. It's really not a big girl!"
Qin Shubao stroked his beard and laughed.
"Uh..." Princess Gao Yang stuck her tongue out embarrassedly, "I didn't mean it, but... I just said it like this."
Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled helplessly, walked to the hall to cut the meat, divided a piece for everyone in turn, and then sat back. At this moment, he discovered that Yao'er and the group of little girls had long since disappeared, fearing that they would go to the side hall to avoid them when the emperor entered the room.
Because of the emperor's presence, everyone was naturally restrained. It was impossible to drink without scruples like before. Therefore, although the atmosphere seemed harmonious, it was not as warm as before. Qin Mubai still played the pipa, and won cheers.
Li Shimin drank three cups of spirits, his face flushed with Jiu Jin, and Qin Shubao was almost half drunk while drinking with him. Li Shimin got up and said, "Today is so snowy and beautiful, and it’s boring to drink alcohol just by nesting in the hall. How about we all go to the backyard to enjoy the snow and plums? Women who are afraid of the cold can stay here and continue to cook. Other men, those who are able to write poetry and martial arts can fight. Winter training in winter and summer training, Qin Mubai, I also just want to see how your martial arts are progressing now?"
"Okay! The emperor Chrysostom is already open. My father and son will practice a horse fight for your majesty today!" Qin Shubao laughed loudly and said, "Your Majesty, haven't you asked how the veteran's body is? Today? It’s a live exercise!"
"Well-so good!" Li Shimin laughed happily, "I haven't seen Shubao's power for many years!"
Qin Shubao laughed boldly and heartily. He raised his hand to Yin Yang and said: "That little general, is from His Royal Highness King Wu's mansion. The old man has seen you several times, and I heard Mu Bai said that you have also used martial arts. Not bad. Don't blame the old man for bullying the small, you and Mu Bai will have a fight!"
"Huh?" Everyone screamed, and they were all startled by Qin Shubao's heroic spirit.
"Haha!" Qin Shubao laughed, "Your Majesty, Princess, please!"
Only Qin Mubai laughed and said nothing. He knew that with his father's strength, it was not a big problem to deal with the joint attack between himself and Yin Yang. This is not the core and point. Today, the emperor had come in a strange way. He went to the Prince Yiguo's mansion first to visit Qin Shubao's condition.
When the emperor heard Qin Mubai talk about Qin Shubao's physical condition, he promised that one day he would visit Qin Shubao himself. A few days ago, I heard from Li Ke that the emperor wanted to promulgate the post of hereditary governor, including Qin Shubao, or appointed him as the governor of the Lanzhou Military Town in the frontier. Therefore, the emperor must be prepared today, most of the intention is to clarify what Qin Shubao's physical condition is!
And Qin Shubao's reaction like this is not surprising. Lao Jifu is inspiring for thousands of miles, he has been waiting to fight on the battlefield for many years!
A group of people followed, leaving no one behind. Qin Mubai was at the end and knocked on the door in the side hall after everyone had gone out. Yaoer came forward to open the door, and saw a group of little girls huddled together behind her, shaking with cold.
"Monster, why are you doing this?" Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, "Seeing you are cold, your faces are blue. There is no stove in this side hall."
"The third brother is so careful..." The monster lowered her head moved and shyly, smiling, and whispered: "The emperor and the princess are coming here, we who are not on the stage, how dare we disturb the holy driver? They are still young and ignorant, if something awkward will cause the emperor to blame, wouldn’t it hurt the third brother?"
Qin Mubai shook his head and laughed, and said, "Finally, you always have your reason. I don't know how to convince you. The emperor and the princess are gone for a while. You can bring them to the fire and don’t freeze. This I also asked the cook to move the roast lamb to the side yard for you. It tastes very good. They are all cut with a knife, so you don’t have to be dirty."
"Thank you third brother..." Yaoer bit her lip, paused for a moment, and whispered: "Third brother, you are so kind to Yaoer... You're in this life, I don't know how to repay!"
"Stupid!" Qin Mubai chuckled and cursed, "The emperor and others are waiting for me, I will go first, please do it yourself."
After a while, the group of people went to the backyard corridor. Li Shimin became very poetic after drinking and chanted two magnificent and talented poems, which won a lot of applause. Li Ke's writing style is also very good, and his improvisational poems have also won praise.
Qin Mubai didn't show ugliness any more, he didn't want to fool people with plagiarized poems in front of the emperor. Most of the people present know him well, so it's better not to show up. Originally Qin Mubai wanted Wu Meiniang to come out to play a lottery, but she shook her head with a smile and motioned Qin Mubai not to make a noise, so he gave up.
After enjoying Xueyin's poems, the bridge of the Pegasus competition was broken. Li Shimin seemed to be more interested in this, and he also played the role of a "referee" to organize this contest. He called Qin's father and son and Yin Yang together, personally supervised them to choose their horses and weapons, and then mounted a horse and watched them closely.
"Shubao is always strong, I know his true abilities better than you two little babies!" Li Shimin rode on the horse and laughed, "Mu Bai, Yin Yang, you have to be careful. Don't let him Put down the horse in twos and threes and fall into the snowdrift!"
Qin Shubao also laughed and said: "Come on! Attack me with all your strength! If you are merciful, I won't appreciate it! Especially Yin Yang, don't have half scruples, do your best, and Mu Bai Join forces to attack. Otherwise, you will have no chance of winning!"
Yin Yang turned his head to look at Qin Mubai, Qin Mubai nodded and smiled: "Brother Yin Yang, let's be careful. Let's do our best, otherwise... it will really be as my father said. No chance!"
"Okay! At the end, I will have to do my best!" Yin Yang gritted his teeth and clasped his fists.
"Come on!" Qin Shubao shouted sharply, swiping the spear in the air and letting out a sharp howl.
"Up!!!"
Qin Mubai and Yin Yang shouted together, and the two horses flew forward to attack.
The ordinary wooden spears used by the three of them instantly attacked together. After all, it was a one-on-two with less to deceive the old. At first, Qin Mubai and Yin Yang still couldn't let go, but later discovered that they really didn't have much advantage against Qin Shubao, and they gradually showed their defeat!
Qin Shubao's martial arts and high-strength marksmanship are so profound, obviously too much higher than them!
At the 20th and 30th round of the battle, Qin Mubai and Yin Yang just used their full strength. On the other side, Qin Shubao's beard and beard were flying and drinking like thunder.
In the snow, horseshoes flew into Qiong jade, and the sound of shouting and chopping was endless. Li Shimin was so close to see that he was a real expert, and he was a great expert in the world. It was not addictive!
Li Ke and the others under the corridor not far away were also eye-opening, while the female streamers were all worried and staring, with sweat in their palms for fear that such a fight would be different. The most exaggerated expression is Princess Gao Yang, her eyes are always wide and round, her mouth is also the same "O" shape, can swallow an egg.
"It turns out that Mu Bai's martial arts is so powerful!"
After dozens of rounds of fighting between the dragons and the tigers, the horses were breathing heavily, and Li Shimin called to stop immediately, haha laughed and said: "Yes, not bad! It is indeed a fierce and hearty battle. ! I really feasted my eyes today-Shubao, I didn't expect your body to recover so well, this is really a blessing!"
When Qin Shubao heard this, he plunged his spear into the snow, saddled and dismounted, and bowed to the emperor's horse: "Your Majesty, the old minister can ride and bow again! The old minister has nothing to ask for, and is willing to return to the barracks to serve as a horse. Pawn, if you can gallop on the battlefield, but please return this old remnant body in horse leather!"
"Uncle Bao, from the ice and snow, what are you doing?" Li Shimin hurriedly got off the horse and lifted Qin Shubao up personally, clapped his hand and laughed, "My second brother, I see your body is so healthy. Now, I’m even more happy than you. You are the God of War of my Tang Dynasty, I dare not to abandon you? — At this time tomorrow, when you come to the Wude Hall to see me, I will know."
"Old minister... Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Shubao was overjoyed, Kong Wu clasped his fists vigorously, and then bowed down again, nodding his head again and again.
"Hey! I really can't do anything with you!" Li Shimin shook his head and smiled bitterly and pulled Qin Shubao up again, and waved his hand, "Go, go back and drink a few more glasses! Today is a good scene, good poetry, good wine and martial arts, life forever," It's rare to have such a great time!"
Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief behind him, smiled, and secretly said: Seeing that I am leaving Chang'an, my father is also leaving... I don't know when we will be able to get together like today?
