"Aunt, sit down and talk!" Xiao Ran picked up the little princess who threw herself towards him.
"Okay, it's about His Majesty's birthday. The cake we had on Sizi's birthday..."
"Mother, I have already told this to my young master," Li Lizhi explained.
"The rest are firecrackers and other things, which are festive and lively."
Preparing some fireworks at night will make it look not too shabby. Although everything should be simple, you still have to prepare it carefully.
"Aunt, don't worry about these, I have already prepared them." Xiao Ran thought.
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Finally, let's talk about the banquet food. There are not many vegetables in the Tang Dynasty, so we have to buy them here and go to the Shangshi Bureau to make them. We also need to prepare more wine and drinks..."
Iron pots and seasonings are already in use in the Shangshi Bureau, and Hongxiu has also taught the imperial chef. The food in the Tang Dynasty is not bad now, but the variety is relatively limited.
Pork in the Tang Dynasty is not tasty, beef is not edible, and the only acceptable meat is mutton.
"That's no problem. Just tell me when you need it, and these things will be delivered soon."
......
Before we knew it, Li Shimin’s birthday had arrived!
Many people from the Western Regions also came to Chang'an City. These were envoys from various countries in the Western Regions. They came to Chang'an City naturally for Li Shimin's birthday.
If this kind of thing didn’t happen, the Tang army would probably have to go and ask what was going on!
Li Yuan and Concubine Zhang also returned to the Tang Dynasty. It would be inappropriate for Li Yuan not to be there for such matters.
Others are prone to overthinking.
It had a bad influence on Li Shimin.
Although Li Yuan and Zhang Jieyu didn't want to go back, they still went back.
Inside the palace, there were lights and decorations, and it was a festive atmosphere.
Yu Shu drove a truck loaded with fireworks and firecrackers and stopped in front of the Tai Chi Hall.
"General Zhang, the young master and His Highness asked me to deliver this!"
"Madam Yushu, please wait a moment. I'll ask someone to move the things right away!" Zhang Ananda called a group of eunuchs to unload the goods.
Qinglan also drove over in a small truck. All Qinglan brought were platforms, which were things for Li Shimin's birthday and were paid for by Empress Zhangsun.
We also bought a lot of other bulk liquors, leaving plenty for everyone to drink to their heart's content.
Yu Shu and Qing Lan have been driving to deliver things to the palace these days, and their driving skills have become more and more proficient.
The emperor's birthday is very important, and there are a lot of things to do, which is very complicated.
Naturally, Xiao Ran and the princesses did not have to attend these events. Only Li Chengqian and Empress Changsun accompanied them.
Empress Changsun was the queen who ruled the country, and Li Chengqian was the crown prince, so he must be there.
It was not until the evening when the banquet was about to begin that several people appeared in front of the Taiji Hall in Li Lizhi's Tang.
Li Ke came in a truck, and Cheng Yaojin's proud tricycle was also there. It was the first and only one with three wheels.
Those who have electric bikes ride them, and those who don’t have electric bikes ride bicycles.
Zhang Ananda arranged for several eunuchs to place electric cars and bicycles.
Xiao Ran drove his car and parked next to Li Shimin's G-Class, thinking of Li Shimin's Six Horses of Zhaoling, which might become the Seven Horses of Zhaoling in the future, with the seventh horse being the G-Class.
The two little princesses are wearing red, which is so festive.
People kept coming in from outside, all heading to the Tai Chi Hall.
Many of them were blonde and blue-eyed, and Xiao Ran didn't recognize any of them.
There are also many familiar faces.
He is more familiar with military generals such as Yuchi Jingde and Cheng Yaojin.
"Xibo~" The little princess saw Cheng Yaojin waving his little hands.
"Hahaha, little prince!" Cheng Yaojin walked to Xiao Ran's side, "Your Highness, my nephew, please come in!"
"good!"
Taking his birthday into consideration, Li Shimin's Taiji Hall was also equipped with solar energy and electric lights.
In the words of Li Shimin, let the foreign envoys open their eyes and see a different Tang Dynasty.
Electric lights are really a bit of an abuse in this era.
Dimensionality reduction attack!
When I go back, I will probably have to publicize the splendor of the Tang Dynasty.
Xiao Ran held a little princess's hand and walked into the Taiji Hall, where he saw many people.
Zhang Ananda smiled and pointed, "Your Highness, young masters, your place is over there!"
Xiao Ran and his companions were located near the front, next to Li Shimin.
Next to Li Shimin was Empress Changsun, and not far away were Li Yuan and Concubine Zhang.
The one in front is Li Chengqian.
Two people share a desk, and there is a bottle stand on each of them.
Li Shimin was also generous for once.
There were three people sitting at Xiao Ran's desk, with a little princess on each side.
Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang could still sit in the front, while everyone else had to sit in the back.
Cheng Yaojin returned to his seat and sat down. "Big Blackie, where's the wine?"
Cheng Yaojin discovered that all the bottles on the table were gone!
"What wine? Didn't you drink it? Hahaha!"
"Shame on you, you're hiding!"
There was singing and dancing in the center of the hall, while others were drinking and chatting happily.
This seems to be the taste of the prosperous Tang Dynasty!
For those who don't drink alcohol, we prepared juice and other things.
The two little princesses raised their wine glasses and said, "Little Nangjun, cheers~"
"Okay, cheers, Mingda Second Sister!"
Li Chengqian and Li Ke, who were not far away, wanted to be close to Xiao Ran, as did Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang.
Generals like Cheng Yaojin also have a good impression of Xiao Ran, but with the two little princesses around, others have no chance.
Not only is the wine special, the food at Shangshiju also shocked many people.
It's much better than before.
Li Shimin was very satisfied and felt that it was about time. He waved his hand to let the dancers leave and the music stopped.
Li Shimin picked up the wine glass and stood up, and the Taiji Hall suddenly became quiet.
"Today is my birthday, and I am filled with gratitude. I am grateful for the blessings of Heaven and the protection of my ancestors, which have enabled me to rule the world and govern this great Tang Dynasty."
