In the midst of thousands of calls, the Five Kings Banquet finally arrived on the day of the feast. Early in the morning, Li Su got up in good spirits, sitting in the hall and watching several people from the palace busy, all the things of the banquet had been prepared, and under the command of Gao Zhong and several palace stewards, there was no big problem. Li Xiaojie, who has been living in the palace for the past few days, also went back early this morning, after all, the banquet is about to start, and he has to go back to prepare, and the banquet will officially start in the afternoon.

Wait until noon, Li Ke was the first to arrive with his family, don't look at Li Ke is only seventeen years old, but he is already married, Princess Shu is also from Hongnong Yang, her father's name is Yang Yu, is the nephew of Yang Xiong, the king of Suiguan, Yang Xiong is Yang Guang's brother, and Li Su has to call Princess Shu as his cousin. Chapter 20: The first meeting with Xiao Wenxin

This princess of Shu looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, her appearance and appearance are all the best choices, her personality is also very gentle, she speaks softly to Li Su, and her demeanor is even more dignified and generous. It seems that Li Ke's luck is not bad and he married a good wife. And this princess of Shu was born in a famous family, which is much worse than Li Su's Princess Liang who has not passed the door.

Not long after Li Ke came, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong and Li Xiaojie also came with their families, among which Li Xiaogong brought many people, in addition to Princess Hejian and Li Yong, his other eight sons came, and there were several unmarried daughters, nearly twenty people came at once.

In addition to Princess Jiangxia, Li Jingheng and a ten-year-old daughter, the little girl named Li Xueyan is very beautiful, and she is also smart, well-behaved and cute. And this little cousin is very curious about Li Su, and it is estimated that she has also heard the legendary story about Li Su some time ago, so she asks this and that around him, it is simply an enlarged version of the little son.

And Li Xiaojie only took Princess Qinghe and his only daughter, this little girl named Li Jingwen, who was only the first time she met Xiao Wenxin in Chapter 60 and Twentieth, and people were more afraid of being quiet, so she had been following her mother closely when she arrived at Li Su. Don't look at Li Xiaojie, the king of Qinghe, who has a bad reputation in the aristocratic circle, but married a good princess, Princess Qinghe is only in her twenties, she is a dignified and generous little woman, for the cooperation in opening a wine shop, she expressed her gratitude to Li Xiaogong and others, but her speech and demeanor are neither humble nor arrogant, which has won the praise of Princess Hejian and Princess Jiangxia.

Next, Li Su introduced the situation of the whole banquet to everyone, because men and women should be separated during the banquet, and there should be no problems with Li Su on the man's side, but the women will rely on these four princesses to preside over here, so they should be familiar with the process of the banquet and the matters that should be paid attention to in advance.

"Liulang, you've been out of the limelight lately, and you can even hold a banquet so differently, it's really impressive, but it's a pity that my bastard son doesn't open up?" Princess Hejian listened to Li Su's introduction, pulled Li Yong and kept knocking on his head, and joked to Li Su. This princess of Hejian is only forty years old, and she looks like a mature and beautiful woman, Li Su used to often mix with Li Yong, and Li Yong is the most beloved son of Princess Hejian, so she is very familiar with Li Su.

"Hehe, Aunt Xie compliments!" Li Su smiled, "The ninth brother is just a little playful, presumably it will be much better if he is older." ”

"Mother, Liulang is so talented because of the help of gods and men!" Li Yong rubbed his head very dissatisfiedly and said, "Why don't I go find someone to beat me up, maybe I will become the second Liulang?" This kid was obviously a little jealous of Li Su, and began to expose Li Su's shortcomings again, but his words caused everyone to laugh.

By about two o'clock in the afternoon, there were already guests who couldn't wait to come to the door, and they were still coming in batches, at least a dozen people. Li Su and others could only receive the guests with Li Xiaogong and let the guests be led to the venue.

The banquet is separated from men and women, although the form of the Western banquet is implemented, but the number of people is still too much, so the female dependents are arranged in the main hall and the two auxiliary halls, and the venue for the male guests is arranged in the small square in front of the main hall, the area of this small square is not small, enough for thousands of people to do radio gymnastics, hundreds of people have a party here, and they will definitely not feel crowded.

The perimeter of the small square, including the top, is surrounded by silk, and red lanterns hang on it, but they are not lit until night. At the north end of the venue there is a long table covered with white silk with appetizing fruits, cold cuts and other foods, and one of the tables has a number of huge porcelain pots with carefully prepared juices. Because the feast has not yet been officially held, meat and alcohol have not yet been served. In addition to these main arrangements, there were other decorations in the venue, and the remaining open space was reserved for the guests to move freely, except for a space for the dancers to dance and the musicians to play. The main and secondary halls where the female guests are located are also arranged in a similar way here.

The arrival of groups of guests, so that the venue is slowly enriched, acquaintances get together in twos and threes, or sit or stand chatting, for this new form of banquet, everyone is very curious, although not as orderly as the previous banquet, but free and easy a lot, it is also a unique fun, so most people are still very satisfied.

"Wei Guogong, Lu Guogong...... to~" With the registration of the men outside, a group of generals led by Li Jing also broke into the venue, although they were all dressed in civilian clothes, but the fierce atmosphere of the battlefield could not be concealed.

"Hahaha~, why did you veteran ruffians come? Today, the old man wants to stay drunk with you! Li Xiaogong was the first to greet him, he used to be one of these generals, and he had the strongest friendship with them, and many people had a lifelong friendship with him, so he was so enthusiastic.

"Hahaha~, you old horseman can't drink much, but it's not a small matter, don't be drunk by then, you just lie down first!" The white-haired and white-haired Li Jing laughed loudly, back then, he and Li Xiaogong teamed up to pacify Xiao Miao, and the two cooperated seamlessly on the battlefield, and their personal relationship was also very good.

"Hehe, last time the old man had a birthday, I treated you and Lao Hei alone, but I only drank a few jars, and the two of you couldn't stand it and fell, and your drinking volume as the king of the river is really not very good!" The tall and burly Cheng Yanjin also jumped out and said with a smile, the old black he said refers to Wei Chi Gong, because he is black, so he has the nickname 'Lao Hei'.

"Bastard, you still have the face to mention the last time, a dignified prince actually let people mix water in his wine, but we drank the strong 'Sanle pulp', you still have to be shameless?" As soon as he mentioned the incident last time, Li Xiaogong's face turned blue with anger, and he pointed at Cheng Biting Jin and scolded, he was miserable last time, and he drank three jars of straight and honest Sanle pulp, and he vomited for several days before he recovered his breath, and he almost took his old life.

"Phew, I almost forgot about this matter, Lao Tzu only ate my punch!" As soon as Wei Chigong was reminded by Li Xiaogong, he immediately remembered that he hadn't settled accounts with Cheng Yanjin about the last time, he had a hot temper, and he raised his fist and said that he would fight.

Cheng Yanjin is an old prank, and he fought with Wei Chigong without showing weakness, and two gray-haired half-grown old men fought at the door of the venue. Li Jing and the people around him are probably used to it for a long time, not only did they not dissuade them, but they cheered on the side, and other civil officials did not dare to persuade them, and the scene was chaotic.

Li Ke had already pulled Li Su to hide to the side, so as not to be injured by mistake. Don't look at this group of generals who are quite old, but they are all old and strong, especially Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong, who are fighting in the field, are both famous brave generals in the Tang Dynasty, and if they punch them, they will at least break their bones and tendons.

It was only after the arrival of the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling that the two old men stopped under their persuasion. Don't look at these two people are disheveled and embarrassed, but Li Su found that in fact, the two of them are very measured, although the fists hit the flesh, they don't hurt the muscles and bones, they hit the thick flesh, and the kind that only hurts when they hit.

This group of civil and military ministers was entertained by Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong, and a group of people made a noisy noise, without the appearance of a famous minister. Before Li Yu could catch his breath, someone suddenly came to report that Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song, had arrived. This is the maiden home of the future princess of Li Su, and he will personally greet him no matter what.

Li Su hurried to the outside of the venue, and just saw Xiao Yu and a group of family members walking towards this side, a large number of men and women, among which there are several young girls, and Li Yu doesn't know which one is Xiao Wenxin?

"See Xiao Lao Guogong, the last elementary school incident, Li Su also wants to thank Lao Guogong for his help!" Li Yu stepped forward and bowed deeply, the last time he was overshadowed by the eldest grandson Wuji, thanks to Xiao Yu's help, he never came to thank him personally.

"Hehe, it's a trivial matter, why worry about it!" Although Xiao Yu is arrogant, for some reason, he has always been very enthusiastic about Li Su, and helped Li Su up and smiled very kindly, "In recent days, the name of Liulang has spread all over Chang'an, and they all say that you are a prodigal son, and the old man will marry his granddaughter to you, but don't let down the old man's kindness?" ”

"Thank you for the love of the old prince, Liulang was lucky not to die in this catastrophe, the previous world has long been remembered, from now on, there will only be one Li Liulang who is a new person, and there will never be that wanton Liang King Li Su again!" Li Su had a headache, why did everyone have to teach him a few words when they saw him, which didn't let people live.

"Hahaha~, what a talking Li Liulang!" Xiao Yu has been observing Li Su's words and deeds since just now, and found that it is really very different from before, and he is very satisfied with Li Su's humble attitude, "Liulang, you lost your memory some time ago, and the old man will reintroduce it to you, this is the old man's granddaughter Wenxin!" When Xiao Yu said this, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the girl in a green Luo skirt among several women.

The girl is dressed in a simple and elegant long skirt, a small and thin figure, a melon seed face, picturesque eyebrows, a fair complexion like jade, long black hair pulled up with a hosta, small and ruddy lips are gently pursed, and there is an unspeakable stubbornness in the weakness, which makes people can't help but want to take pity in their arms at a glance. If only in terms of beauty, Xiao Wenxin is not inferior to Li Su's mother Concubine Yang, if Xiao Wenxin is a few years older, she may even be a little more beautiful than Concubine Yang.

This is a beautiful but unique girl! Li Su immediately gave Xiao Wenxin a definition. In fact, since just now, Li Su has been quietly observing this girl, although Xiao Wenxin is a concubine, but she is a famous beauty in Chang'an City, and among these women, the appearance and temperament of the girl in green are the most outstanding and unique.

"Hehe, although our family Wenxin is a famous beauty, you don't have to keep staring at others, sixth brother, right?" Just when Li Su wanted to be in a daze, a beautiful young woman said with a smile. Among the people of the Xiao family, the only one who can call him the sixth brother is Princess Xiangcheng who is married to Xiao Yu's son Xiao Rui.

This relationship may be a little confusing, Xiao Wenxin is Xiao Yu's granddaughter, Xiao Rui is Xiao Yu's son, then Xiao Wenxin will call Princess Xiangcheng an aunt, but Princess Xiangcheng is Li Yu's sister, if you count from here, Li Yu is a generation older than Xiao Wenxin, fortunately, Xiao Wenxin is Xiao Yu's other son-in-law, if it is passed to Xiao Rui, then Li Yu has to call his own sister his mother-in-law. However, from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the marriage relationship between the nobles was originally very chaotic, and it was very common for Li Su to do so, so they were generally separate.

"Hehe, the younger brother sees the eldest sister!" After being reminded by Princess Xiangcheng, Li Su found that Xiao Wenxin, the little girl, made her blush, and even looked a little annoyed, after all, staring at an unmarried girl like this is really a very rude thing, even if the other party is his fiancée.

"Hehe, I just saw my eldest sister at this time, where did you look just now?" Princess Xiangcheng's mouth was not forgiving, and she joked with Li Su, who made Li Su's face flush, and she was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. The people of the Xiao family were very interested in seeing this prospective son-in-law make a fool of themselves, and several women around Xiao Wenxin laughed and laughed non-stop.

"Okay, let's hurry up to the banquet, this banquet is carefully prepared by Rokuro, let's go and see it!" Xiao Yu didn't want Li Yu to be too ugly, so he waved his hand and said. As the head of the family, he has a very high prestige in the Xiao family, and when other people saw Xiao Yu speak, they immediately didn't dare to laugh anymore, even Princess Xiangcheng was no exception.

This saved Li Yu, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to take the female guests to the main hall, and he personally accompanied Xiao Yu to the venue. As soon as he entered the venue, Xiao Yu was pulled away by a group of royal relatives, and Li Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder those friends who got married in his previous life were reluctant to go to his father-in-law's house, this pressure is really not ordinary.

The people who were waiting for the invitation to come were almost over, and Taizong Li Shimin came late with all the princes and princesses, but to Li Su's surprise, Concubine Yang also came with Li Shimin. Li Su thought about it for a while and understood, this kind of banquet was originally to be attended by Empress Changsun, but now Empress Changsun is seriously ill and can't come at all, plus this banquet of the five kings, he and Li Ke are one of the hosts, as their biological mothers, it is natural for Li Shimin to bring Concubine Yang to the banquet!!
