It stands to reason that on such an important day as today, Emperor Li Shimin brought the queen, princes, and important ministers of the court to this Da'an Palace to practice filial piety.

As the crown prince of the grandson, the princes should be particularly prominent.

But this emperor was too great, and he only ordered what he looked pleasing to the eye, and courtiers such as Wu Shi Tong and Wang Qi were seated.

Like many princes, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other typical old generals of the Qin Palace, none of them were able to enter the table.

People like Eldest Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui are not allowed to sit at the table, which is very understandable.

Because they instigated Li Shimin to cause that incident, the Emperor Taishang naturally hated them in his heart.

And the princes, the princes of Wei, of course, also make sense.

Back then, when Li Yuan was still the emperor of a country, as a grandfather, he actually loved his grandsons very much.

For Li Chengqian, Li Tai and these children are much better than treating Li Shimin, the king of Qin at that time.

Especially this Li Tai, who is smart and clever, is even more loved by Li Yuan.

When he was very young, he was named the king of Yidu by Li Yuan.

A year later, he was crowned King Wei and was awarded the Shangzhu Kingdom.

As the second son of King Qin, Li Tai's future title was originally only the king of the county from the first grade.

However, Li Yuan named him the king of the first product, not the king of the heir of the first product.

This is also Li Yuan's great favor to his grandson after Li Xuanba.

At that time, Li Chengqian, especially this Li Tai, did everything possible to his grandfather, Li Yuan, to please and coquettish.

Especially Li Chengqian, he has achieved filial piety to Li Yuan to the extreme, which is very rare.

Li Yuan has never been stingy with the rewards of these grandchildren.

It can be imagined from the huge amount of money spent on building a zoo in the Hibiscus Garden for these children.

However, with the passage of time, the hearts of the people will be seen, and the truth will be seen in adversity.

After that incident, Li Yuan became a phoenix in distress, Li Chengqian became the crown prince, and Li Tai became the venerable king of Wei.

The two of them never took the initiative to visit the Emperor Taishang again.

On the contrary, he was afraid that Li Shimin would have suspicions and misunderstandings, and they, the princes, were simply afraid of the emperor.

I wish I could be far away.

This man's heart is made of flesh.

Seeing this group of grandsons who he loved and loved the most back then, alienating themselves and disgusting themselves one by one, how chilling should it be from the perspective of an old man?

Therefore, to say that the disgust in the heart of the Emperor Taishang is much stronger for these princes than for the eldest grandson Wuji and others.

If there is one person who is special, it is Feng Deyi.

As for him, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, like Pei Lian back then, was also very valued by Li Yuan and gave him a very high status.

But what is completely different from Pei Lin is that even after Li Shimin ascended the throne, Pei Lian's heart is still towards Li Yuan.

He did not shy away from his reverence for the Emperor.

So later, there was the scene of being seized power and expelled by Li Shimin.

But this Feng Deyi, but after that incident, directly abandoned Li Yuan and turned around to Li Shimin's side.

completely severed all involvement with the Emperor.

Feng Deyi is a person, his position is himself, he is a scholar, as for who is the emperor, what the surname is, he doesn't care.

In this way, Emperor Li Yuan sat directly above the seat, and Li Qiu sat next to him.

And the eldest grandson queen sat near Li Qiu invisibly.

As for the other princes and officials in the palace, they also sat down one after another under the leadership of the Ministry of Rites.

The banquet began.

Li Qiu's hot pot is very novel.

Especially in this relatively cold winter, everyone sits at a table and eats this delicious and steaming hot pot, which feels very good.

"Emperor Taishang, this mutton is the best lamb meat selected. "

The best knife chef I found cut it into thin slices.

"You just need to hold it with chopsticks, soak it in the hot pot, and when it changes color, you can eat it."

"In addition, these small ingredients can be adjusted according to personal taste. "

I specially prepared a bowl for you, you taste it first, if there is something that doesn't suit your taste, I'll remix it..."

Under Li Qiu's very careful and thoughtful service, Li Yuan nodded, and then ate a few bites as Li Qiu introduced.

Then he kept nodding his head and admiring again and again, "Hmm

!" "Li Qiu, this hot pot you made is really delicious!" "

It's not a hassle to chew, it's just melt-in-your-mouth."

"This small ingredient you made is also delicious

!" "It's very good for my taste!" Hearing

the Emperor Taishang's admiration, Li Qiu smiled and nodded.

Then he also helped Li Shimin and Queen Changsun to carefully adjust the ingredients.

After Li Shimin ate it, he also praised it from the same heartfelt heart, "Oh, you kid, I really want to give you a position as Guangluqing."

"It's a bit of a humiliation not to go to the imperial dining room. "

This Guang Luqing, an official who is specifically responsible for and manages the imperial dining room, has a rank from the fourth grade, and he can be regarded as a senior member.

Listening to Li Shimin's words, Wang Qi on the side chuckled, "Your Majesty, if you transfer Li Qiu to be Guangluqing, the minister thinks that General Li Jing will dare to rush into the imperial dining room to rob people." "

I must be complaining about Your Majesty's conserviency.

Li Shimin laughed at this time, "If they want to blame, they can't blame me for coming here."

"Who let this kid not use his talents all day long, only pondering eating, drinking, and having fun, strange trades.

"But don't say it, after having him, I feel that my Chang'an City seems to be a lot more interesting. There

was talk and laughter on their side, but at the table where many princes were, the atmosphere was unusually depressing.

Especially like the crown prince Li Chengqian and the king of Wei Li Tai, they looked at that side faintly, with anger and murderous in their eyes.

This Li Qiu, who was about the same age as them, sat next to the emperor.

On the other side is their mother-in-law, the eldest grandson queen.

Now that Li Qiu is in this position, it stands to reason that the crown prince Li Chengqian must sit on it.

However, let alone sitting, Li Chengqian just couldn't even go up to the table.

What an honor it

is for a foreign minister to be able to eat next to the Emperor and the Empress at the same time?

This is simply super unreasonable!

As for those courtiers who look at Li Qiu unpleasantly, they are also similar.

In their hearts, everyone whispered to each other and reprimanded, saying that Li Qiu, a lowly businessman, did not understand the rules.

It's simply out of character!

And people like Eldest Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wu Shi Tong, who are close to Li Qiu, don't have so many complicated thoughts.

For this delicious hot pot in front of me, it is a great eat, full of praise.

At the same time, he was still thinking in a whisper, saying whether he had to go to Li Qiu's place for a while, pick some fruit or something to take home.

By the way, take this pot two more sets?
