The queen moved her fetus, which surprised everyone present.
"Quick, go call the doctor!"
Li Shimin shouted loudly.
Li Dao
"Taichong, what's going on Queen?"
Li Shimin asked quickly.
Li Daoxuan frowned slightly and stared at the queen's bulging belly. He hesitated for a moment and did not open his eyes after all.
The other party is the queen after all, so this is too blasphemous.
"Your Majesty, the Empress may have been moved by your thoughts just now, causing the five qi to be imbalanced. Ordinary people suffer from insomnia and dreaminess, but the Empress is pregnant, which will inevitably affect the fetal qi."
Anger hurts the liver, happiness hurts the heart, sadness hurts the lungs, thinking hurts the spleen, and fear hurts the kidneys. Just now when Empress Changsun was talking about the woman who was forced to marry, she felt so depressed that she even had fetal qi. This shows that she is indeed intolerant and compassionate.
But Li Daoxuan still had some doubts in his heart. The queen's fetal image didn't seem to be very stable.
According to time calculation, the child she carried in her belly was the next emperor after Li Shimin, Gaozong Li Zhi. Li Zhi in history was not in good health and died of illness in his fifties. Is this the same as the empress? Is it related to the fetal image during pregnancy?
"Queen, does something like this happen often?"
Li Daoxuan couldn't help but ask.
Empress Changsun answered truthfully: "It was fine before, but in the past two months, I often have abdominal pain, and it will pass after a while."
After a pause, she continued: "Chang Le once gave me an amulet, saying it was from a real person. I carried it close to my body and it made me feel better for a while. Unfortunately, I kept getting sick again after that."
Xiao Changle shook Li Daoxuan's sleeves, raised his little face and begged: "Sir, can you give your mother a few more amulets?"
Li Daoxuan did not hesitate and immediately took out ten amulets and gave them to Queen Changsun.
This incident was a false alarm, so Li Shimin called in the imperial physician to check the queen's pulse. What the imperial physician said was basically consistent with what Li Daoxuan said, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The banquet continues.
After three drinks and five dishes, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
In order to please his precious daughter, Li Shimin went so far as to dance the famous "The Music of King Qin Breaking the Formation" in person. He was dressed in gold armor, handsome and handsome, and danced with heroic posture and extraordinary momentum.
The royal family of the Li and Tang Dynasties seemed to be born with artists in their blood. "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Formation" was originally a military song in the early Tang Dynasty. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he personally arranged this music into a dance, adding Qiuci's tones to the original tune. , tactful and melodious, high-spirited and very appealing.
Coupled with the accompaniment of a large palace band, the big drums are so loud that they can be heard for hundreds of miles. The momentum is so majestic that it moves the heaven and the earth. It makes people's hearts surging and their blood boiling.
Looking into Xiao Changle's sparkling eyes, Li Shimin smiled after finishing dancing.
By now you should know how powerful your father is. Don’t always keep your mouth open and keep talking about your husband. The pearl you held in your hands in the past has almost forgotten that you still have a father.
"Do you like this dance performed by your father?"
Changle nodded and said, "I like it!"
Li Shimin laughed loudly, then peeled an orange and gave it to her. He said with a smile: "This is a tangerine from Nanzhao Kingdom. It is sweet and delicious. Come and try it."
Nanzhao Kingdom is located to the south of Yunling, with a hot and humid climate and abundant rainfall. The tangerines grown in it are juicy, crispy, rich in texture and fragrance, and have an excellent taste. Many of them are sent to the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty as tribute every year.
But this year, the tangerines in Nanzhao are not ripe yet. There are not many left in the palace now, and they are all the royal family's inventory. In order to keep them fresh for a long time, Taoism is even used to seal them.
Changle took it with a happy face and tasted one piece, and it was indeed very sweet. So she immediately ran to Li Daoxuan and handed the orange to him like a treasure.
"Sir, sir, please try it, it's really sweet!"
Li Shimin's mouth twitched, and his face was covered with black lines.
…
The banquet continued. Since it was a family banquet, many members of the royal family were more relaxed. Some even imitated Li Shimin and left the banquet in person, playing the pipa, singing a cappella, or dancing a beautiful and hot dance.
There were even some princesses who were still unmarried in their 28th year and boldly invited Li Daoxuan to dance with them.
It is hard to imagine that this scene was an ancient emperor's family banquet. It can only be said that the Tang Dynasty was indeed much more open-minded than later generations, and there were not so cumbersome rules.
Li Daoxuan naturally declined the kindness of the princesses. He drank wine quietly and watched the scene in front of him silently, and suddenly felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
Who would have thought that in the palace more than a hundred years later, an emperor who led the Tang Dynasty to the prosperous Kaiyuan era would be completely obsessed with art and neglect government affairs?
When Li Longji was drunk and dreaming in the opera garden, and was carried away by the light and unrestrained dance of Hu Xuanwu, an empire that was brilliant in art finally gradually declined.
Sit and watch the clouds rise and the flowers fall.
Li Daoxuan was in the middle of the game, but he always had a spirit of transcendence. He suddenly felt that maybe the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years was his own practice.
"Sir, sir!"
Little Changle knelt down in front of him at some point, held a cup of tea in both hands, and said respectfully: "Sir, please accept Changle as your disciple!"
Everyone around looked at this scene with a smile.
Li Daoxuan reached out to take the cup of apprenticeship tea, but paused slightly in the air.
There was a vague premonition in his heart. After drinking this cup of tea, he and Li Tang would completely have an unbreakable relationship. This game of chess would last for three hundred years, and he couldn't tell the outcome yet.
Even who is actually playing chess with him is not completely sure.
Do you really want to take on this heavy burden? Isn’t it good to be a happy and happy immortal?
To be honest, Li Daoxuan was a little hesitant at this moment, but he quickly took the cup of tea and took a sip.
There are many reasons, such as the kind thoughts deep in my heart, my childhood fantasy of slaying demons, the densely packed tombstones in the Yingling Tomb, and before Lou Xiaoyun's soul dissipated, when he saw "Erlang Zhenjun", it was brighter than the stars. Have bright eyes.
But the most important thing is that he wants to play this big game.
Use the dynasty as the chessboard and the common people as the chess pieces. Play with the sky without regrets.
Follow Li Daoxuan to drink the apprenticeship tea.
Xiao Changle's eyes showed deep joy, like two curved moons.
Li Shimin and Queen Changsun looked at each other and could see the smiles in each other's eyes.
The eyes of the princesses looking at Changle were full of envy. Who in Chang'an has not heard of Li Daoxuan's name?
Being able to worship Li Daoxuan as a disciple is equivalent to jumping out of the shackles and cage of the royal family and possessing an extremely unique status. With the mountains at his back, even the emperor may no longer be able to decide the fate of Changle on his own.
"Keep the Tao and be benevolent, Quanzhen restores Taihe. Since Changle has entered our Taoist sect, you should have a Taoist title. From now on, you will be my first disciple, Li Daoxuan, and the tenth generation true disciple of Longhu Mountain, He Jia."
