Amidst the endless calls, the day of the Five Kings Banquet finally arrived. Li Min got up in high spirits early in the morning. He sat in the hall and watched several servants of the palace go about their business. All the guests at the banquet

Everything has been prepared and under the command of Gao Zhong and several palace stewards, there will be no major problems. Li Xiaojie, who has been staying in the palace for the past few days, also went back early this morning. After all, the banquet was about to start.

He also had to go back to prepare, and the banquet would officially begin in the afternoon.

At noon, Li Ke and his family were the first to arrive. Even though Li Ke was only seventeen years old, he was already married. The Princess of Shu was also from the Hongnong Yang family. Her father's name was Yang Yu, who was the son of Yang Xiong, the king of Sui Dynasty.

As a nephew, Yang Xiong is Yang Guang's clan brother, and Li Min even calls Princess Shu his cousin.

This Princess of Shu looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. Her appearance and appearance are of the best, and her personality is also very gentle. She speaks softly to Li Min, and her behavior is dignified and generous. It seems that Li Ke

His luck was pretty good and he married a good wife. Moreover, this Shu Princess came from a well-known family. In this regard, Li Min's unmarried Princess Liang was much worse.

Not long after Li Ke arrived, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong and Li Xiaojie also came with their families. Among them, Li Xiaogong brought the most people. In addition to Princess Hejian and Li Yong, his other eight sons all came.

There were also several unmarried daughters, nearly twenty of them came at once.

In comparison, Li Daozong and Li Xiaojie were much worse. In addition to Princess Jiangxia, Li Daozong also came with Li Jingheng and a ten-year-old daughter. The little girl was named Li Xueyan. She was very beautiful, smart and well-behaved.

Cute. Moreover, this little cousin is very curious about Li Min. She must have heard the legendary stories about Li Min some time ago, so she surrounds him and asks questions, just like an enlarged version of little Sizi.

Li Xiaojie, on the other hand, only brought Princess Qinghe and his only daughter. This little girl was named Li Jingwen. She was only six years old. She was also quite shy and quiet. When she arrived at Li Min's place, she followed her mother closely. Don't look at Li Xiaojie.

This King of Qinghe had a bad reputation in the aristocratic circle, but he married a good princess. Princess Qinghe was only in her twenties, a dignified and generous little woman. She expressed to Li Xiaogong and others about the cooperation in opening a winery.

Thank you, but your words and deeds are neither humble nor arrogant. This won the praise of Princess Hejian and Princess Jiangxia.

Next, Li Min introduced the entire banquet to everyone, because men and women would be separated during the banquet. With Li Min on the men's side, there shouldn't be any problems, but the women's side would have to be hosted by these four princesses.

Therefore, they should familiarize themselves with the banquet process and matters that should be paid attention to in advance.

"Liu Lang, you have been in the limelight recently. You can even hold a banquet so uniquely. It is really impressive. It's a pity that my bastard son doesn't understand?" Princess Hejian heard from Li Min.

After introducing him, he pulled Li Yong over and knocked him on the head, and joked to Li Min. This Princess of Hejian was only in her forties and looked like a mature and beautiful woman. Li Min used to often meet Li Yong.

Mixed together, Li Yong is the most beloved son of Princess Hejian, so she is very familiar with Li Min.

"Hey, thanks for the compliment, Auntie!" Li Min said with a smile, "Ninth brother is just a little playful. I think it will be much better when he is older."

"Mom, Liu Lang became so talented because he received help from a god!" Li Yong rubbed his head in dissatisfaction and said, "Why don't I go find someone to beat me up, and maybe I will become No. 1

Two Liulang?" This boy was obviously a little jealous of Li Min and started to expose Li Min's shortcomings, but his words caused everyone to burst into laughter.

By about two o'clock in the afternoon, there were already customers who were eager to come to the door, and they were coming in droves, with at least a dozen people arriving. Li Min and others could only follow Li Xiaogong to receive the guests.

And let the guests be led to the venue.

The banquet was held separately for men and women. Although the Western banquet format was adopted, there were still too many people, so the female family members were arranged in the main hall and two auxiliary halls, while the meeting place for the male guests was arranged in a small square in front of the main hall. The area of ​​this small square

It’s not small either. It’s big enough for thousands of people to perform broadcast gymnastics. Hundreds of people can hold parties here without feeling crowded.

The small square is surrounded by silk, and red lanterns are hung above, but they will not be lit until night. There are many chairs and small tables placed around the venue, which is a place for guests to rest.

At the north end of the venue, there is a long row of tables, covered with white silk, on which are placed appetizing fruits, cold cuts and other food. On one of the tables are many huge porcelain pots, which contain carefully prepared

Juice. Because the banquet has not officially started, the meat and wine have not been served yet. In addition to these main arrangements, there are other decorations placed at the venue. The remaining open space is except for setting aside a space for maiko to dance and musicians to play.

In addition, the rest are spaces for guests to move freely. The main and auxiliary halls where female guests are located are similar to the layout here.

The arrival of batches of guests gradually filled up the venue. Familiar people gathered together in twos and threes, sitting or standing chatting. Everyone was curious about this new banquet format, although it was not as good as before.

The banquet was neat and orderly, but it was much more free and easy, and had a unique sense of fun, so most people were very satisfied.

"Wei Guogong, Lu Guogong...have arrived~" As the disciples outside signed up, a group of military generals headed by Li Jing also broke into the venue. Although they were all in casual clothes, their fierce battlefield aura could not be concealed.

Can't live.

"Hahaha~, why are you old gangsters here? Today I will stay drunk with you until I get home!" Li Xiaogong was the first to come up to him. He used to be a member of this group of generals and had the strongest friendship with them.

Many people have a life-long friendship with him, so they are so enthusiastic.

"Hahaha~, you are an old man who can't drink well, but you are talking a lot. Don't lie down before we are drunk by then!" Li Jing, with white hair and white beard, laughed loudly. Back then, he and

Li Xiaogong teamed up to put down Xiao Mian. The two cooperated well on the battlefield and had a very good personal relationship.

"Hey, last time I celebrated my birthday, I treated you and Lao Hei alone. After only a few bottles, you two couldn't bear it anymore and fell down. You, the King of Hejian, don't have a good drinking capacity at all!

"The tall and burly Cheng Yaojin also jumped out and laughed. The Lao Hei he was talking about was Yuchi Gong. Because of his dark appearance, he got the nickname 'Lao Hei'.

"Asshole, you still have the nerve to mention what happened last time. A great prince actually asked someone to mix water into his wine, but we drank the very strong 'Sanlejiang'. Do you still have the shamelessness?

"When he mentioned what happened last time, Li Xiaogong's face turned livid with anger, and he pointed at Cheng Yaojin and cursed. He was badly hurt last time. He drank three jars of the genuine Sanle juice and vomited it for several days before he recovered.

When I got angry, I almost lost my life.

"Bah, if you don't mention this, I almost forgot. It's only the old killer who punched me!" Yuchi Gong was reminded by Li Xiaogong, and he immediately remembered that he had not settled the matter with Cheng Yaojin for the last time. He has a fiery temper.

Just hit with your fists.

Cheng Yaojin was an old rogue, and he fought with Yuchi Gong without any sign of weakness. The two gray-haired old men started fighting at the entrance of the venue. People like Li Jing around him must have been used to it a long time ago. Not only did they not dissuade him,

Instead, they cheered and cheered, and other civil servants did not dare to dissuade him. The scene was in chaos.

Li Ke had already pulled Li Min and hid aside to avoid being accidentally injured. Although these generals were quite old, they were all old and strong, especially Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi who were fighting in the field.

Both Gong and Gong were famous brave generals in the Tang Dynasty. If they were punched, their bones would be broken at least.

He waited until Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, a group of important officials, arrived, and then under their dissuasion, the two old guys stopped. Even though these two people looked disheveled and embarrassed, Li Min

I found that in fact, both of them were very measured in their strikes. Although the punches hit the flesh, they did not hurt the bones and muscles.

This group of civil and military officials were entertained by Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong. The group of people were noisy and noisy, and they did not look like famous Zhenguan officials. Before Li Min could take a breath, someone suddenly came to report that the Duke of Song Dynasty, Xiao Yu, had arrived. This was Li Xin.

He was jealous of the future princess's natal family, so he had to go and greet her in person no matter what.

Li Min hurried to the outside of the venue, and happened to see Xiao Yu and a group of family members walking towards here. There were a lot of men and women, including several young girls, and Li Min didn't know what was going on.

Who is Xiao Wenxin?

"See Old Duke Xiao, Li Min would like to thank Old Duke for his help in the elementary school incident last time!" Li Min stepped forward and bowed deeply. He was tricked by Changsun Wuji last time. Thanks to Xiao Yu's words of help,

He never came to express his gratitude in person.

"Haha, it's nothing to worry about. It's just a trivial matter!" Although Xiao Yu was arrogant, but for some reason, he was always very enthusiastic towards Li Min. He helped Li Min up and smiled very kindly. "In recent days, Liu Lang's name has been spread all over the world.

Chang'an, they say you are a prodigal son who has returned home. I am marrying my granddaughter to you, but you must not let down my good intentions, right?"

"Thanks to the great love of the old prince, Liulang survived this catastrophe. He has long forgotten his past life. From now on, there will only be a new Li Liulang, and the wanton Li Min will never appear again.

!" Li Min had a headache. Why did everyone have to give him a lesson when they saw him? This would not let anyone live.

"Hahaha~, what a talkative Li Liulang!" Xiao Yu has been observing Li Min's words and deeds since just now, and found that it is indeed very different from before. He is very satisfied with Li Min's humble attitude, "

Liulang, you lost your memory some time ago, I will introduce you again, this is my granddaughter Wen Xin!" When Xiao Yu said this, he pointed at the girl in a green skirt among the women.

The girl wears a simple and elegant long dress, has a small and thin figure, an oval face, picturesque eyebrows, and a complexion as fair as jade. Her long black hair is tied up with a hosta, and her small and red lips are pursed gently. She is weak and delicate.

She has an unspeakable stubbornness that makes people want to hold her in her arms and take pity on her at a glance. If only in terms of beauty, Xiao Wenxin is not inferior to Li Min's mother Yang Fei. If Xiao Wenxin were

How much older she is, she might even be a little more beautiful than Concubine Yang.

This is a beautiful but very unique girl! Li Min immediately defined Xiao Wenxin. In fact, Li Min has been quietly observing this girl since just now. Although Xiao Wenxin is a concubine, she is a famous beauty in Chang'an City

, and among these women, the appearance and temperament of the girl in green is the most outstanding and unique. Now that Xiao Yu said this, it is indeed as expected by Li Min.

"Hehe, although our Wen Xin is a famous beauty, Sixth Brother, you don't have to stare at her all the time, right?" Just when Li Min was thinking about being in a daze, a beautiful young woman said with a smile. Among the Xiao family members

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 bit confusing. Xiao Wenxin is Xiao Yu's granddaughter, and Xiao Rui is Xiao Yu's son. So Xiao Wenxin will call Princess Xiangcheng his aunt, but Princess Xiangcheng is Li Min's sister. If we calculate from here

Li Min is a generation older than Xiao Wenxin. Fortunately, Xiao Wenxin adopted another legitimate son of Xiao Yu. If he had adopted Xiao Rui, then Li Min would have to call his biological sister his mother-in-law. However, from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties,

Since ancient times, the marriage relationship among nobles has been very chaotic. Situations like Li Min's are very common, so they are generally discussed separately.

"Haha, little brother, see the eldest sister!" After Princess Xiangcheng's reminder, Li Min realized that Xiao Wenxin made him blush and even looked a little annoyed. After all, he was staring at an unmarried girl like this.

Look, it is really a very rude thing, even if the other party is his fiancée.

"Haha, you just saw my eldest sister now, where were you looking just now?" Princess Xiangcheng's mouth was not forgiving, she teased Li Min, which made Li Min's face turn red and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. The Xiao family

Others were very interested in watching this prospective son-in-law make a fool of himself, while several women around Xiao Wenxin were laughing quietly.

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and go to the banquet. This banquet was carefully prepared by Liulang. Let's go and see it!" Xiao Yu didn't want Li Min to make a fool of himself too much, so he waved his hand and said. As the head of the family, he is the prestige of the Xiao family.

Extremely high, when other people saw Xiao Yu speak, they immediately dared not laugh anymore, even Princess Xiangcheng was no exception.

This saved Li Min. He hurriedly asked his servants to take the female guests to the main hall, while he personally accompanied Xiao Yu to the venue. As soon as he entered the venue, Xiao Yu was taken away by a group of royal family members. Li Min

I finally breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder those friends who got married in my previous life were unwilling to go to my father-in-law's house. The pressure was really not that great.

When almost all the people invited had arrived, Taizong Li Shimin arrived belatedly with the princes and princesses. However, what surprised Li Min was that Concubine Yang also came with Li Shimin. Li Min understood after thinking about it for a moment.

Well, this kind of banquet originally required Empress Changsun to attend, but now Empress Changsun is seriously ill and cannot come at all. In addition, he and Li Ke are one of the hosts of this Five Kings Banquet. As their biological mothers,

It was natural for Li Shimin to bring Concubine Yang to the banquet.
