Xu and Wu slowly walked into the Ganlu Hall. The first person to catch Su Mingzhe's eye was Xu Cairen on the left.
People in the Tang Dynasty regarded fatness as beauty.
Most of the maids and concubines in the palace have plump figures and round faces.
Even the four concubines Yang Fei, Wei Fei, Yan Fei and Yin Fei were no exception.
Although Xu Cairen's face and figure also have a rounded appearance, his shoulders are thin, his neck is thin, his waist is slim, and his legs are long. His figure looks very thin, and his appearance is even more beautiful and refined, like a fairy coming to earth.
After looking at Xu Cairen, Su Mingzhe nodded with satisfaction, and then went to look at Wu Cairen.
Unlike Xu Cairen, who is calm and bookish, Wu Cairen gives people a lively and agile feeling even when he is kneeling honestly, just like the elf who likes to dance in the forest.
What surprised Su Mingzhe the most was that Wu Cairen had a pair of radiant red and phoenix eyes. Before he could speak, he raised his head and stared at him.
This woman is worthy of being a queen. She has such courage at such a young age.
"Come here."
Su Mingzhe did not continue to examine them, but waved.
When Wu Cairen saw this, he immediately stood up.
But Xu Cairen thanked him first, and then stood up slowly.
The two women's flirtatious movements made Su Mingzhe twitch his index fingers. He wanted to throw the two women on the bed and pamper them.
Fortunately, Su Mingzhe was not ignorant. He took a deep breath and suppressed his impulse.
Wu Cairen saw Xu Cairen's gentle and gentle actions, and then realized that his own movements were a bit rough. He quickly knelt down and thanked him, then imitated Xu Cairen's lotus steps and slowly walked towards the emperor. .
After a while, two women sat on either side of the man.
Su Mingzhe looked to the left and saw the quiet and virginal Xu Cairen. When he looked to the right, he saw the lively Wu Cairen.
The two women came here after taking a bath. They were fragrant and wore thin white gauze clothes that could not hide their proud and graceful figures.
Su Mingzhe stretched out his hands, hugged the slender waists of the two women on the left and right, and said with a smile:
"Two beauties, please accompany me to have some dinner first."
Naturally, the two women would not refuse.
When Xu Cairen was hugged by the man, her delicate body trembled slightly, but then she relaxed.
But Wu Cairen was like a child. He looked at the food on the table and asked curiously:
"Your Majesty, why do you eat the same plain food as us? Is it to save money?"
Seeing Wu Cairen's funny question, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek, and then said with a smile:
"I eat too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, and occasionally eat something plain."
If it was Li Shimin, it would be considered a good thing if he could answer it.
However, Su Mingzhe noticed a slightly disappointed expression on Wu Cairen's face, and immediately thought of the food of the talents in the harem.
Guessing that this martial artist was greedy, Su Mingzhe called the eunuch:
"Wang De!"
"The slave is here!"
Wang De had been waiting respectfully outside the palace door. When he heard the order, he quickly came in to listen to the instructions.
"Go to the imperial dining room and get some barbecue... Well, beauty, what kind of barbecue do you like?"
Su Mingzhe deliberately asked Wu Cairen in front of Wang De. This move immediately made Wang De look at Wu Cairen with a little more awe.
Wu Cairen also didn't expect that the emperor guessed his thoughts and fulfilled his wishes after just saying a word. He was suddenly filled with surprises and looked at the emperor with more love and admiration. .
Of course, she was not polite at this time and said directly:
"Just eat barbecue. I like roast mutton the most. Dog meat is fine too..."
After finally waiting for Wu Cairen to finish ordering the meal, Su Mingzhe asked Wang De to take the vegetarian dishes off the table, then smiled at the two women and asked:
"Beauties, what are your names?"
"I am Wu Ruyi, my parents call me Ruyi."
Wu Cairen, who was still lively and cute, spoke first and answered.
Xu Cairen then replied:
"I am Xu Hui, and my family calls me Yingying."
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe smiled slightly:
"Xu Hui, Hui Zhi Lan Xin, the name is worthy of the name. As for you, Ruyi, the name is not very appropriate. How about I give you a name, Mei Niang?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name."
Wu Cairen quickly thanked him.
Su Mingzhe looked at Wu Meiniang and Xu Hui again, and felt that both women were so beautiful that they were extremely delicate.
Not to mention Wu Meiniang, she is a gorgeous beauty.
And Xu Hui also has skin as white as jade, a dignified appearance, and a graceful, elegant and bright temperament.
Just as the three of them looked at each other and were silent, there was a panic outside the hall.
This time Wu Ruyi was frightened so much that her delicate body trembled, but Xu Yingying was calm and did not lose her composure.
When Su Mingzhe heard the movement, he patted his forehead, took his hands away from the waists of the two women, and said helplessly:
"Wang De, let them in."
Wang De, who was outside the palace, listened to the instructions and ordered the chamberlain to let go of his hands this time.
Then I saw two little kids running into the hall, kneeling on the ground with a plop, saluting and saying:
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
"Pheasant slave, Sizi, why aren't you two sleeping?"
Su Mingzhe looked at the two little kids with a bit of endearment in his eyes.
They are both descendants of Empress Changsun, one is the Ninth Prince Li Zhi, and the other is the Princess of Jinyang Li Mingda.
Pheasant means little pheasant.
Si, it’s the rhinoceros.
Li Shimin gave Li Zhi the nickname "Pheasant Slave", which means he is doting on him.
The nickname "Si Zi" was given to Li Mingda in the hope that this sickly and frail daughter would be as strong as a rhinoceros.
Unfortunately, Sizi was frail and sickly since he was a child. According to history, he died of illness when he was twelve years old.
Empress Changsun and Li Shimin had three sons and four daughters.
The eldest son is Prince Li Chengqian, the eldest daughter is Li Lizhi, the second son is King Wei Li Tai, the second daughter is Li Mingrui, the third son is Li Zhi, the third daughter is Li Mingda, and the fourth daughter is Li Yanran.
The four eldest children are all married, and the remaining three children, Li Zhi, Li Mingda, and Li Yanran, were left in Ganlu Hall by Li Shimin and raised by himself.
Now, Li Zhi and Li Mingda appeared, and they didn't know what the youngest daughter was doing now.
Just when Su Mingzhe was looking for his little girl with his spiritual consciousness, the two children said in unison:
"Father, Sizi wants to eat barbecue."
"Father, Ninth Brother wants to eat barbecue."
Su Mingzhe couldn't help but smile when he heard the two brats playing tricks on each other:
"It turns out they are two greedy cats."
Li Zhi is only ten years old this year, and Si Zi is eight years old. In the 21st century, they are still greedy ages.
Seeing how cute they were, Su Mingzhe wanted to ask Wang De to give them some barbecue.
But then some memories came to mind, making him swallow his words back.
In the end, Su Mingzhe was still cruel and rejected them:
"The sun has set now. You two are too weak to eat barbecue. If you are really hungry, you can only drink some meat porridge."
"oh."
When the two children saw that their dream of eating meat was shattered, their faces immediately fell.
Su Mingzhe was about to ask Wang De to send the two little kids back to the next door dormitory to rest, but unexpectedly, Wu Cairen beside him suddenly spoke:
"Your Majesty, if you don't let them have a bite of the barbecue, I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep well tonight. Why don't you let them have a small bite to satisfy their cravings. If it's just a small bite, it shouldn't matter."
Wu Cairen suddenly spoke, not because he loved the two children, nor because he wanted to win people's hearts, but simply because he thought of when he was a child, watching his two brothers eat barbecue, while he and his sister could only drink gruel, and he felt pity for a moment. heart of.
When the two children heard that someone was pleading for them, they looked at their father eagerly again.
Su Mingzhe suddenly became embarrassed when he saw that Wu Cairen was pleading for his child and speaking rationally.
At this moment, the smell of barbecue came in from outside the door, and the two little kids looked even more pitiful.
"That's all, you are allowed to take one bite each. If you really want to eat, you can still eat during the day tomorrow."
Su Mingzhe gave the order, and then heard another little kid running in outside the door:
"Father, I want to eat too."
Well, this is the youngest daughter Li Yanran.
"No one can have more than one bite."
Su Mingzhe handed the meat cleaver to Wu Meiniang. Since she asked for mercy for the three children, she should teach her how to cut the meat.
Wu Meiniang didn't dare to cut too much, so she sent the three children away in small pieces each.
Later, Wu Cairen took a knife and cut off the most tender ridge meat and gave it to Su Mingzhe. He also cut a piece to give to Xu Hui. Finally, he cut a small piece for himself and tasted it slowly.
Xu Hui ate very little. After eating two pieces, she stopped and started to pick up the jug and pour wine for the man.
At this time, Su Mingzhe's mind was no longer on wine and meat, his eyes were bright, and he kept looking at the two women.
Wu Meiniang was focused on the roast lamb at the moment. She had not eaten meat for several years and turned a blind eye to the man's gaze.
And Xu Hui was clever and could sense the man's hot gaze, and her cheeks suddenly turned red:
"Your Majesty, I would like to sing and dance to entertain Your Majesty."
Su Mingzhe was overjoyed after hearing this, nodded quickly and said:
"Oh, there's a beauty here."
Xu Hui studied poetry and poetry since childhood, and also knew a little about singing and dancing.
I saw her walking to the center of the hall, dancing gracefully, with her white skirt and ribbons, like snow and mist.
Su Mingzhe couldn't help but reach out and tap on the table to accompany her.
And Xu Hui also understands the rhythm. Following the beat of the drum, she lightly jumps up, touches the carpet with her jade feet, spins and soars up, like the fairy of Guanghan passing by the moon.
Another three thousand green silk hairs danced with her delicate body and scattered on Xiang's shoulders. Her black hair, like a waterfall, complemented the white gauze clothes.
Xu Hui was seen standing in the center of the hall, starting to rotate and rotate continuously. The white gauze was as soft as boneless, and the long skirt was like the buds of a lotus flower, blooming like a core, revealing the slender and enchanting figure inside.
By this time, Su Mingzhe no longer knocked on the table.
Wu Cairen was also dumbfounded.
I don’t know how long it took.
When Xu Hui returned to her virginal state, the song and dance came to an end.
When Su Mingzhe saw Xu Hui breathing heavily, he quickly stepped off the stage and supported her. He couldn't help but express his love:
"When I read Cao Zijian's "Ode to the Goddess of Luo", I laughed at his lack of knowledge. How can there be any dance in this world that is as graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon? Today I met my beloved concubine, and then I realized that it was because of my lack of knowledge. Already..."
