When Li Tai received the invitation from Empress Changsun, he naturally didn't know how happy he was.
Since Zhao Chen appeared, he has not received an invitation from the queen to the banquet for a long time.
Today is the first time since he became the crown prince, Empress Changsun invited him to the Lizheng Hall to attend a banquet.
Because the emperor and the queen don’t like extravagance and waste.
Li Tai specially changed into a slightly simple dress and asked the maid to clean up, and then embarked on the way to Lizheng Hall for a banquet.
The palace is also very lively on New Year's Eve.
The emperor had just had a banquet with a group of ministers, and everyone began to leave and met Li Tai when they met him.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"The emperor wishes His Highness the Crown Prince a good health in advance."
"Happy New Year of Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
A group of officials saluted Li Tai one after another.
The feeling of the stars holding the moon was very helpful to Li Tai, and he also bowed back the gifts to the officials.
"Where is the Prince?" An official from the Ministry of Rites asked Li Tai with a smile.
"My mother set up a family banquet in Lizheng Hall and invited me to the banquet. Isn't she going?" Li Tai explained.
"So that's it. No wonder the Queen just showed her face and left at the banquet."
"Family dinner is important. Don't we also want to go back and reunite with our family!"
"Haha, yes, yes, then I won't delay the prince, the prince..."
"Isn't that Zhao Chen? Why did he come?"
Officials from the Ministry of Rites were about to say goodbye to Li Tai, when other officials looked shocked.
The other officials also looked over and saw Zhao Chen slowly walking towards them.
Thinking of the incident in Lingyan Pavilion yesterday, many officials took two steps to the side.
"Hasn't he been locked in the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison? Why are he here now?"
"Dai Shaoqing, what's going on?"
"You have released prisoners privately in Dali Temple?"
An official forced Dai Zhou, the young minister of Dali Temple.
Dai Zhou's mouth twitched. He had gone home last night, but he received news that the emperor had gone to the Heavenly Prison and released Zhao Chen.
What can he do?
Run to Ganquan Palace to ask the emperor for an explanation?
"Yesterday His Majesty went to Dali Temple and released Zhao Chen."
"If you have any objections, you can go and talk to Your Majesty and say goodbye!" Dai Zhou left a few words and left with an unhappy look on his face.
Everyone frowned.
Zhao Chen only killed two officials yesterday and appeared in the palace today.
The emperor was obviously slapping them in the face.
"Zhao Chen, you have no official or title now, and you dare to appear here, so why don't you get out of here quickly."
"Otherwise, when the imperial guards arrive later, I will want you to look good." Some officials couldn't help but walk to Zhao Chen and stop him.
He threatened to get out of here!
The rest of the people also looked cold.
"Another thing, I asked the Xuanjia Army to copy your mansion." Zhao Chen stopped and smiled with the official in front of him.
The official's expression changed drastically, but he didn't dare to say another word.
They had long known that the Xuanjia Army was in Zhao Chen's hands, and the emperor did not take back his military power yesterday.
Moreover, Zhao Chen acted like a lunatic yesterday.
If this angered him, the Xuanjia Army might really come to copy their mansion.
The others were all disgusted, and they were extremely angry but they dared not say anything.
"Mr. Zhao's temper should be restrained, otherwise he will suffer a great loss sooner or later." Li Tai said from the side, with some meaning.
Zhao Chen looked at Li Tai.
This guy is much more tolerant than Li Chengqian.
He is embarrassed by himself, but he never stands on the front line. He is smarter than Li Chengqian.
"When your prince is fine, you should read more books, don't be like Li Chengqian." Zhao Chen patted Li Tai's shoulder and said with a smile.
Li Tai's face looked a little ugly at that time.
Like Li Chengqian, did he lose the position of the prince like him and then kicked out of Chang'an?
Absolutely impossible!
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I will definitely learn from the lessons of the emperor's brother. As for some people with ulterior motives, I will not let go of them easily."
"Mr. Zhao is now without any official or title, so he should stay in the mansion well to avoid any accidents."
"When I fell, the prince of this palace was powerless." Li Tai took a step back, shook Zhao Chen's hand away, and his face was expressionless.
All the officials' expressions changed slightly.
Anyone could hear what Li Tai said just now, and he was warning Zhao Chen.
Now that Zhao Chen has no official position or title, it is easy for him to deal with Zhao Chen.
"When did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have such a tense relationship with Zhao Chen?"
"Hey, you don't know yet. Hou Junji has long been the Crown Prince's member. Hou Junji is afraid that Zhao Chen will deal with him."
"But unexpectedly, Zhao Chen fell down first now."
"I don't know whether this is good or bad."
"This must be good. Zhao Chen is so arrogant and domineering. He doesn't take anyone seriously if he has some achievements. Isn't it okay for His Royal Highness to deal with him?"
"I don't agree with this. Although Zhao Chen acts domineeringly, he is mostly good for the country of Tang."
"It was yesterday that the person in the stone statue was the one who had developed a yield of 3,000 kilograms of rice per mu. Those people wanted to smash the stone statue."
"The people don't know, otherwise they would have been whipped out."
"It's right. Although Zhao Chen is wrong, he is also impulsive. If the people of the world know the truth about yesterday, I'm afraid..."
Some officials thought about what happened yesterday and felt that Zhao Chen’s actions yesterday were nothing in comparison.
"Mr. Zhao, if it's too late today, what are you doing in the palace?"
"If nothing is wrong, go back quickly."
"My mother set up a family banquet in Lizheng Hall. I am going to attend the banquet. My father has no time to pay attention to you, so..."
"Oh, I forgot if you don't say it. The queen invited me to the banquet. The time is almost over, so I won't be nonsense with the prince."
"It's dark and the road is slippery, the prince must be careful!" Zhao Chen seemed to have just reacted.
After saying that, he patted Li Tai on the shoulder again.
With a light hook under his feet, Li Tai fell heavily to the ground without standing firmly.
"Your Highness, you are fine!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
...
The emperor left the banquet for all officials, returned to the palace to change his clothes, and went straight to the Lizheng Hall.
Li Zhi sat next to Li Ruoshuang and kneaded the dough for the queen.
Today, the queen is preparing to make a bowl of noodles for everyone by herself.
The emperor drank a cup of tea and looked around, but Zhao Chen was not seen.
"Hey, Ruoshuang, where is that little bastard Zhao Chen?" The emperor mentioned that Zhao Chen had nothing good to say.
"When you go back to your Majesty, when your husband goes out, he says he wants to do something, and you will come here immediately." Li Ruoshuang explained to the emperor.
Li Ruoshuang came first in a carriage.
Zhao Chen explained to her that he would do something, and Li Ruoshuang himself was not sure about what to do.
"That guy seems to be busier than me every day. On New Year's Eve, let his wife enter the palace alone?"
"Where is the prince, I haven't arrived yet?" the emperor complained and asked Li Tai's whereabouts again.
"Father, I just saw the prince falling down in the square of Qingxin Hall." Li Ke poked his head out from behind and said to the emperor.
"Stumbled?" the emperor frowned.
