Li Er directly extended his thumb and began to pat him without hesitation.
But once I saw such a big cake, I started to have trouble.
"I said, dear brother, how can I take such a big cake back?"
"Don't worry, I've thought of everything for you."
As he said this, Zhao Mu asked someone to bring in a box specifically for the cake, fixed the base of the cake, and placed it in the box.
"These are candles, and I put them in the box as well.
When the time comes to insert it on the cake, I won’t need to say more, right?”
"Brother, I understand, I understand."
There is a knife in the palace. You can just use it to cut the cake, put it on a plate and eat it with chopsticks, which is very convenient.
Then he asked someone to put the cake in Lao Li's car.
Because his grandfather was celebrating his birthday, Li Yue also got on the carriage and prepared to return to Chang'an.
Before leaving, Li Er said a few words of thanks, made some inquiries, and invited Zhao Mu to be a guest in Chang'an, but Zhao Mu refused with a wave of his hand.
In this way, Li Er no longer pressed, said a few more words, got on the carriage, and set off in the direction of Chang'an City.
"Butler, you must drive more slowly this time, don't be in a hurry."
"It's from the shopkeeper."
Drive, drive, drive.
The carriage moved forward slowly, much slower than usual, but it could reach Chang'an City within two hours and would not delay the start of the birthday.
"Master, what are our plans today?"
"Well, by the way, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
"Thank you, Master."
"You silly girl, let's go."
Speaking of which, the imperial palaces in Chang'an City are very lively at the moment, especially the Daming Palace.
In the morning, Li Yuan got up early, took a shower and changed clothes.
I no longer play cards with other people, or listen to music and watch plays like I usually do.
The emperor has already said that he will have a grand celebration of his birthday this year.
"Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang!"
He watched his royal grandsons and granddaughters come to him, calling each other "grandfather".
Li Yuan was so happy that he asked someone to bring over the cakes on the side and distributed them to each of them himself.
"A daughter has met her father, and a son-in-law has met his father."
"Hahahaha, you two are here, please sit down quickly.
There are pastries on the table, today is a family banquet, you can eat whatever you want and make whatever you want."
Thank you Father.
"I have met my father."
"Grandpa Huang."
Several children who were following him quickly stood up and saluted.
"Father, are you still used to staying in the Daming Palace?"
"Hahahaha, I don't have to worry about food, drink or eating habits in this Daming Palace.
And don’t you come to Chang’an to see me every year?
Okay, take my grandson and daughter and take a seat at the side. Sit wherever you like."
"Thank you, father, and thank you, grandpa."
Li Yuan's descendants are not just the three sons Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji as people think.
In addition to their three sons, there are several other sons and daughters.
Including now, he has many concubines, and many of his concubines have given birth to children for him.
It's just that except for their three sons who were born to Queen Dou, the others were all concubines, that is, they were born to other concubines.
Therefore, there is absolutely no possibility of fighting for power.
Moreover, each of them does not have any rights. Their identity is just a prince of the Tang Dynasty, and they cannot pose any threat to Li Er's rights.
Therefore, Li Er turned a blind eye to his other younger brothers and sisters when they took away their rights.
Including Li Er himself, there are still some younger brothers and sisters who are still infants and crying.
His father's old tree blossoms, that's all. As long as he is happy, he can do whatever he wants.
There is no need for the father and son to be in conflict over this matter.
After all, isn’t it the same for me?
"I've met the Supreme Emperor!"
"Hahahaha, you guys are here, sit down quickly.
Hey, you can come as soon as you say, and what gifts do you want to bring?"
"Your Majesty, we have brought you a small gift to congratulate Your Majesty. May you be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains!"
Hahahaha, okay, okay.
The princes, grandsons and ministers rushed in one after another. Unlike other times, if there is a birthday banquet, there will be many things to do.
Since he came to Daming Palace, Li Yuan has also thought about it.
If you want to do something, do it in a lively and lively way, but if you do it in such a lifeless way, it's really meaningless.
"I have met my father."
Just when everyone was chatting, with the appearance of this person, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up.
Without him, it was all because the one who came this time was Empress Changsun.
This status cannot be matched even by Li Yuan's other descendants!
As Queen Changsun rushed over, she came straight to Li Yuan and bowed.
"Meet my father!"
"I've met my mother."
The several grandsons and granddaughters of the emperor who gathered around the Supreme Emperor quickly saluted.
"The queen is here, please sit down quickly. Why are you here alone? Where is my prince?"
"In reply to the Supreme Emperor, His Majesty said that he wanted to give the Supreme Emperor a surprise.
So this surprise is on the way, please don’t be anxious!"
"Well, I am looking forward to what kind of surprise my prince will arrange for me!
Okay, Queen, you can sit down too."
"It's Father."
Although Li Yuan said that he could sit wherever he wanted, but all the seats had already been arranged.
Who will come today has been arranged in advance and has been arranged by officials from the Ministry of Rites.
Everyone sat in their seats and began to wait quietly.
People rushed over one after another until all the seats in the entire hall were taken.
Today is the birthday banquet of the Supreme Emperor. Who dares to come until noon? Doesn’t that mean not giving the Supreme Emperor face?
However, everyone discovered that His Majesty, who was supposed to be the first to arrive here, has yet to arrive today.
For a moment, everyone began to murmur quietly in their hearts.
Why hasn't His Majesty come yet? Could it be that His Majesty is busy with some things and hasn't finished yet?
On the contrary, Li Yuan knew what his prince had done, so he was not in a hurry and still waited quietly.
As time passed by, Changsun Wuji drove his carriage into Chang'an City, arrived at the imperial palace, and stopped in front of the Daming Palace.
Two people were called to carry the cake in first. As footsteps came, Changsun Wuji rushed in.
The two guards who followed behind were surprised by what they were carrying!
"Wei Chen has met the Supreme Emperor."
"So it's you. What are you carrying behind you?"
"Reporting to the Supreme Emperor, the following items are gifts personally arranged by His Majesty for the Supreme Emperor.
Your Majesty and the princess will come together later, because this thing is fragile.
So we walked very slowly on the road and came back late, so please bear with us!"
"Okay, go and sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Time passed by, and as the sound of His Majesty's arrival came, Li Er and his party entered the Daming Palace.
The moment he walked in, everyone stood up and saluted.
"I have met His Majesty!"
Li Er waved his hand and everyone sat down one after another.
I saw Li Er walking straight to the middle and saluting Li Yuan above.
"My son, I have met my father and grandpa. I wish my father and grandpa good health and a long life. Happy birthday.
The son prepared a birthday gift for his father and asked him to like it.
Someone bring the things up!"
Several people carried the things up and placed them in front of Li Yuan's table. They removed all the boxes and presented a three-layered cake in front of everyone.
Seeing these people who had never seen anything like this before, everyone looked at a loss and froze.
What is this thing? Why have I never seen it before?
Li Yuan was also stunned and looked at Li Er with a puzzled expression.
"Your Majesty, what is this thing?"
"If I go back to my father, this thing is called cake, and it is a must-have for birthdays.
This thing is sweet, soft, and very delicious.”
Wow, cake!
On the contrary, Li Chengqian and Changle looked expectant.
You don’t need to look at this cake to know that it must have been obtained by my father from Uncle Zhao.
I really didn’t expect that Uncle Zhao actually made such an oversized cake. When I die, can I go to Zhaojiazhuang and ask Uncle Zhao to make an even bigger cake than this?
But after thinking about it, he shook his head, how could he be more awesome than Grandpa Huang?
But he knew that he was in for a treat today.
Well, this cake is quite interesting. Should I just eat it with chopsticks?
"Father, don't be anxious. Is there still some process for eating cake?"
Then he asked someone to take the cake away and put it aside.
If ordinary people reach this point, they will start eating directly, but as a royal family, some things are still more troublesome.
Although Li Yuan wanted to omit all these steps, he still had to go through the necessary procedures.
"Yue'er, you go to your mother and queen first."
"It's Father."
Li Yue stood up and came to where Queen Changsun was sitting.
"Mother."
"Yue'er, sit down quickly."
"Sister Huang, I knew you would come back today."
"Qian'er?"
"It's the queen mother."
After Empress Changsun said something, Li Chengqian obediently stepped aside.
As the process entered the next step, everyone stood up one after another and came to Li Yuan.
Salute, send blessings, and give gifts.
Of course, the gift aspect can be omitted, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites can simply spell out the list.
Logically speaking, the current Saint should be ranked first, but this time, he was surprised to be ranked last.
What His Majesty means is that good things must come to the end. This chapter has been completed!
