Being stared at Princess Gaoyang's watery eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but whisper the Buddha's name, turned his body slightly, and said softly.

"Princess Gaoyang is so polite. I am just a monk in the wilderness. I should not be able to give such a great gift."

"Brother Yu is here again. Tonight is a family dinner. There are not so many clichés. Gao Yang, as a junior, bows to you, is the right thing to do." As the Dragon King of Jinghe was saved, Li Shimin's mental state improved significantly, and he was even in a very good mood. He said with a smile.

With Li Shimin present, Princess Gaoyang did not dare to be as unrestrained as before. She was like a good girl, and she kept echoing Li Shimin, and she really looked like a gentle and obedient junior. She treated Tang Sanzang very close but did not lose her respect.

Following Li Shimin, there were many princes, princesses, and some concubines qualified to participate in the family banquet.

After Li Shimin's introduction, Tang Sanzang recognized them all, and the word "Emperor Uncle" was even more inexhaustible.

After a while of struggle, at the warning of Li Shimin, the family dinner officially began.

"Brother Yu, I understand that you are a monk and quit meat and alcohol, so this time I specially asked the Royal Kitchen to prepare a good vegetarian dish and good tea for you. Do you want to try it?"

After sitting down, Li Shimin introduced to Tang Sanzang as if he was seeking credit.???

Tang Sanzang looked down at the dishes on his seat that looked exactly like others, including meat and vegetables, with both color, fragrance and taste.

Vegetarian dishes?

Tang Sanzang subconsciously used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of white meat and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and tender.

Tofu?

This turned out to be white meat disguised with tofu.

"Brother Yu? How do you feel?" Li Shimin asked repeatedly.

"No, good, it tastes great!" Tang Sanzang said with a slightly moved expression as he suppressed the depression in his heart.

"Hahaha, it's good that I like it. Fortunately, there is such a capable person in my imperial kitchen who makes all kinds of tricks with tofu and other vegetarian dishes." Li Shimin looked at his brother, who was still indifferent to his face and was moved by this skill and couldn't help but say happily.

"If I don't give up, I can try other dishes, whether it's chicken, duck, fish, or delicacies, that talented person can use vegetarian dishes to imitate them vividly, and make them real."

In response to this, Tang Sanzang kept a smile on his face. Looking at the table of food with all colors, fragrance and flavor, he felt like he was "not sure about the taste".

I really don’t mind eating meat, and a few pounds of fine wine is no problem. Why doesn’t Your Majesty give you a chance?

Tang Sanzang, who had originally thought that he would have the opportunity to say tonight that "wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha's heart stayed in his heart", suddenly felt that most of his interest had disappeared.

However, being used to maintaining the image of a monk, Li Shimin and others could not see Tang Sanzang's thoughts at all. They just thought that Master Sanzang had already reached a considerable level of practice and his demand for food was almost gone.

It lasted until the moon hung in the sky, and Li Shimin was in a good mood and ended this family dinner with great pleasure.

"Come on, Brother Yu, we will sleep tonight and talk about the past and present." Li Shimin, who was already intoxicated, walked to Tang Sanzang with a false step, and wanted to hold Tang Sanzang with one hand, and said shakingly.

As the saying goes, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." Seeing Li Shimin's drunken look, Tang Sanzang, who was afraid that he would "driving drunk" at will, lowered his eyebrows and refused.

"Your Majesty is intent, but I still need to set out to the Great Leiyin Temple in Xitian to seek the true scriptures, so it is inconvenient to talk about the past and present."

However, Li Shimin, who was drunk at this moment, seemed to not understand Tang Sanzang's disgust, burped and continued.

"My brother Sanzang, please rest assured. I...I don't...I won't take up much time for my brother, it will be fine soon...soon."

Facing Li Shimin's behavior that was almost like drinking crazy, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but twitch his handsome face.

"Father~"

Just as Tang Sanzang was considering whether to knock Li Shimin secretly to escape, Princess Gaoyang, who was staring at him with watery eyes, held Li Shimin from time to time during the banquet, and said in a soft and soft voice.

"My son is only interested in Buddhism in his life, but his son is stupid and does not understand many exquisite Buddhist principles. Today I meet a great monk like the emperor, which can be said to have been drought for a long time."

"Well? I've had a long drought and a lot of dew?" Li Shimin opened his hazy eyes and looked at Gao Yang, who was the most obedient and caring person on weekdays, and said vaguely.

In response, Princess Gaoyang stuck out her tongue slightly, showed a pitiful expression, and continued to say. "But it is reported that the Emperor's uncle will leave the Tang Dynasty and go to the West to seek the true scriptures. It is rare to have an opportunity, so my son-in-law plans to take this opportunity to discuss Buddhism with the Emperor's uncle tonight."

"So, father, can you lend the uncle to your son for one night?"

"No!" Li Shimin shook his head and said vaguely. "Brother Yu... Brother Yu needs to set out tomorrow, how can you let your trouble?"

"Father~ Emperor~ You should give your son..."

"No...no!"

...

After acting coquettishly for a while, Princess Gaoyang looked at Li Shimin who was almost obedient to her on weekdays and had no intention of letting go, so she simply turned around and blinked her eyes and asked Tang Sanzang.

"Uncle Emperor, what are your plans?"

"Yu... Brother Yu, what do you... think?"???

Seeing the father and daughter burning the fire on themselves again, Tang Sanzang just wanted to whisper a Buddhist name and then set off to the West to obtain scriptures as soon as possible.

However, if we really need to choose between a drunk and greasy middle-aged man and a girl who I feel pity, Tang Sanzang naturally turned to Princess Gaoyang without hesitation.

"Amitabha, Your Majesty, my Buddha is merciful. Princess Gaoyang's heart for the Buddha is really worthy of praise. If she can solve Princess Gaoyang's confusion, it is nothing. "

"This... OK, then let's follow Brother Yu." With the main leader's words, Li Shimin did not continue to stalemate. Instead, he warned Princess Gaoyang, "Don't make trouble too much", and then let the eunuch general manager help him leave.

"Let's go~" As Li Shimin left, Princess Gaoyang's obedient appearance immediately faded away. Her extremely charming eyes looked at Tang Sanzang without any cover, and subconsciously licked her red lips and said.

"My emperor uncle ~ San ~ Zang ~ Master!"

"Oh~" Tang Sanzang sighed and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. He asked in a warm voice while following Princess Gaoyang to leave the palace.

"Does Princess Gaoyang still remember the Buddhist principles I mentioned to you this morning?"

"What Buddhist principles?"

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is color..."
