Tianxiangyuan is located in Yongdafang, Mingdemen Street.
Although this is not the center of Chang'an City, it is not too remote.
And with the blessing of the relationship between the Changsun family, the guests here can be said to be either rich or noble.
Because of the unique taste of the food, Li Shimin likes to come here to eat and drink even if he has nothing to do.
Of course, Li Chengqian often comes with his friends.
The shopkeeper is already very familiar with them.
When he saw Li Chengqian and Chang Sun Chong coming together, the store manager also hurriedly came out from the counter to greet them.
"Oh, look, look, this is a very important guest."
The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "Are you two free today?"
"yes."
"The glutton in my stomach has been restless lately, always thinking about your family."
Li Chengqian patted his belly and said with a smile: "Hurry up, find a good place, and serve some good wine and meat to me."
"Okay."
"It's a good day. No one is sitting in your old place."
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Otherwise, where should we go?"
Li Chengqian answered casually and said, "I don't choose this. You just make the arrangements."
Even though that's what he said, how could the store owner really make random arrangements?
At that moment, he personally led Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong to the private room on the far left on the second floor.
Wait until after ordering.
Li Chengqian stepped over and opened the window.
From this place, you can just see the street scene on Mingdemen Street.
Seeing the people coming and going and listening to the cries of the vendors, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"This is real life."
He turned around, looked at Changsun Chong with a smile and said, "Speaking of which, I really miss the days when I lived in Zhongshan Prince's Mansion."
"Actually, I miss it a little bit."
"My life as a child was indeed carefree and free."
Changsun Chong took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "Especially when I was with His Highness at the Zhongshan Palace, it was simply the happiest time in my short life."
"yes."
"At that time, you, me and Huai Liang, we were a cheating trio."
"My father, uncle, and even Uncle Cheng have all been plotted by us."
Thinking about what happened back then, Li Chengqian also laughed out loud.
"Speaking of it, it's really emotional."
"Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye we all grow up."
"You became the young minister, and I became the prince. Even Huai Liang has become the general of Zhenxi now."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian walked to the table and sat opposite Changsun Chong.
Looking at Changsun Chong in front of him, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Speaking of which, how long has it been since we sat down together and had a good chat and a meal?"
Changsun Chong thought for a moment and said, "It should be two or three years ago."
Before, either Li Chengqian was not in the capital, or Changsun Chong was not in the capital.
Even if they are all in Beijing, they are still busy with their own things.
Li Chengqian wants to be his crown prince, and Changsun Chong has to be his Zongzheng Shaoqing.
Almost every day they are so busy that they hit the back of their heads. The only time they can see each other is at court meetings.
After that, it was another busy day, let alone sitting down and having a meal quietly.
"I'm treating you today."
Li Chengqian raised the corner of his mouth and said, "We both need to have a good meal."
"Really?"
Changsun Chong raised his eyebrows and asked.
"But I see that His Highness the Crown Prince chose this place with no intention of treating guests."
At this moment, he also let go and started joking directly with Li Chengqian.
"Hey, you look down on people, don't you?"
"I came to your tavern to have dinner, because I think highly of you."
Li Chengqian said: "What's wrong? You think I can't get the money?"
As he spoke, he flipped through the lining of his clothes and actually took out a note with a large denomination. ,
He slapped the money ticket directly on the table and said, "Is it enough to treat you to dinner?"
"Enough, enough, enough..."
Changsun Chong quickly waved his hand and said, "But if we are having dinner and drinking, wouldn't it be a little bad if we didn't ask Huai Liang to come over?"
"Let's talk about his matters later. It's just the two of us today."
"It just so happens that I have something to do and want to talk to you."
After talking for so long, Li Chengqian finally brought the topic to the right track.
When Li Chengqian said something was wrong, Changsun Chong was a little suspicious and said, "Business?"
"If it was business, would I find you here?"
"Can't we talk in the East Palace?"
Li Chengqian chuckled, and then said: "It's about Tingmei."
After hearing this, Changsun Chong's originally smiling face immediately became serious.
"What's wrong with Tingmei?"
Changsun Chong looked straight at Li Chengqian and said.
Seeing his appearance, Li Chengqian didn't intend to hide it anymore.
He said directly: "Let Tingmei remarry my brother Ke."
"impossible!"
Changsun stood up abruptly and flatly refused: "This is absolutely impossible!"
"Hey, hey, hey."
"Don't refuse so early."
Li Chengqian quickly waved his hand and said, "I'll tell you the truth, this kid has regretted it now and already knows his original mistake."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to come to me and tell you."
"He is now completely devoted to Tingmei and wants to resume the marriage."
"And you may not know that Tingmei has actually forgiven him."
Li Chengqian said: "Before, my uncle said that everything will follow Tingmei's wishes."
"My father said it was my father's business."
"But I definitely don't agree with this marriage."
Changsun Chong said straight to Li Chengqian: "And I will never push my sister into the fire pit again!"
"What you said is a bit excessive."
Li Chengqian said: "Why is there a fire pit?"
"Why the fire pit, you still don't know?"
Changsun Chong said with a cold face: "Your Highness, you can see clearly how my sister was tortured by him."
"And how could I, as an elder brother, still allow my sister to marry such a person?"
"So, let's forget about it."
"Your Highness, there is no need to say anything more. No matter how much you try to persuade me, I will not agree."
Speaking of this, Changsun Chong paused.
He glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "And it seems that the reason His Highness asked me to come here today is not to reminisce with me, but to talk about this matter."
"I still have something to do at Zongzheng Temple. If it is something like this, I will not accompany Your Highness."
This guy even said the word "chen", which already made his attitude clear.
