Although Cui Yu is a child of a noble family, as Minister of the Ministry of War, he still adheres to the ethics he is expected to adhere to.
When it comes to his own interests, he may be biased towards his family, but in other matters, he will still be worthy of his official position.
Judging from today's course, he didn't hide anything for anything, nor did he do anything private.
Compared with the internal affairs of the three provinces, the course Cui Yu taught today was much more interesting to Li Xian when he first encountered it.
As night fell, looking at the dim skylight outside, Cui Yucai reluctantly ordered the clerk to put away the map.
Standing up and holding his hands, Cui Yu said helplessly: "Originally, Wei Chen still had a lot to say, but there is really no time today. Your Highness, Wei Chen will come again tomorrow."
Li Xian also stood up and said with a smile: "What Cui Shangshu said can be said to be profound and easy to understand. Even Gu, who knows nothing about the Ministry of War, can understand it. It's still early today, so it's not as good as Cui Shangshu's. How about you stay here and have dinner before going back?"
Cui Yu looked back at the door, frowned, and declined: "Your Highness's gift, Wei Chen will keep it in mind. However, Wei Chen still has something to do at home. Please forgive Wei Chen for not being able to stay. He will go home soon."
Cui Yu was obviously an excuse. When he looked back, Li Xian understood what was going on.
Obviously, Cui Yu didn't want to eat with Wu Chengsi for fear of spoiling his appetite.
Nodding in understanding, Li Xian said: "In that case, I am not forced to stay in the Qing family. The Qing family can do it themselves."
Cui Yu breathed a sigh of relief. After saluting again, he took his servants and left the study.
When the door of the study room opened, Cui Yu snorted coldly when he saw Wu Chengsi waiting at the door before leaving.
Although Wu Chengsi still had a smile on his face when they were face to face, after the figures passed each other, his face turned into gritted teeth.
The clay figurine still has a bad temper, let alone Wu Chengsi. However, he is more tolerant and never wants to conflict with others. Thinking about his past experiences, he believed that as long as he could keep his position, let alone being scolded, it would not be a problem even if he was stabbed twice, as long as he did not return to his previous life.
"Huh? Cousin, you are still here."
Hearing the prince's voice, Wu Chengsi turned around and immediately put on a warm smile: "Yes, I came to the East Palace today because I have something to tell you. However, seeing that you were busy, I waited outside. Got it. How's it going? Studying like this every day must be very tiring."
Li Xian smiled slightly and made an invitation gesture: "There is nothing you can do about being tired. If you want to be a qualified prince, you have to endure hardship."
"That's true, but after enduring hardship, you still have to be kind to yourself, don't you think so?"
"What my cousin said is, so, it can be said that I value food very much. If I keep you waiting for a long time, I am not lonely. If I don't treat you to a good meal, I am not lonely!"
During the conversation, both of them sat down.
Waving to Li Yong, gesturing for him to go to the kitchen to pass the meal, Li Xian then asked straight to the point: "Although my cousin's secretary is free, he doesn't have to wait outside the study all afternoon. I didn't know that my cousin is coming to the East Palace today. Any advice?”
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the study, Wu Chengsi smiled and said, "I heard that His Highness the Prince has taken in three beautiful and fragrant concubines. Is this possible?"
Seeing Wu Chengsi mention Xiao Xiao and the others, Li Xian frowned immediately.
Just like what he said today when he was in the martial arts field, it was really not a big deal for the scholar-bureaucrats to change concubines. Could it be that this guy has his eye on someone and wants to beg for it? If this was really the case, I wouldn't care about the Queen's reaction and would definitely beat Wu Chengsi out of the East Palace!
The frown disappeared in a flash, and Li Xian asked: "That's true, but why does my cousin ask this?"
Wu Chengsi didn't notice Li Xian's expression, but the word "what" made him understand something, and he quickly said: "As I just said, a man can only have fun if he can find it." There are so many kinds. Women are exactly one kind. But Li Xian, as a cousin, I have to tell you, why did you only accept three? Including the current crown princess, there are only four women. This has nothing to do with you. His identity is seriously inconsistent!"
Four is too few?
Li Xian asked tentatively: "May I ask my cousin, how many women are there in your room?"
Wu Chengsi....
Very confused.
Just looking at his confused look, Li Xian knew that this guy must have lost count of how many women he had.
With a slight cough, Li Xian said: "Cousin, you also know that as a prince, he must always be reviewed by the people of the world. Therefore, there cannot be too many women in the East Palace to avoid being false, don't you think?"
Only then did Wu Chengsi come back to his senses and stopped counting the number of women he had. He smiled and replied, "That's true. However, Prince, you are still too young. Why don't you just get some women with no reputation?"
"No reputation?"
"That's right. As long as you don't have a reputation, who knows how many women there are in the East Palace? No matter how impeached the censor is, it's impossible for them to go to the harem of the East Palace. Let's count them one by one."
After hearing this, Li Xian realized that the so-called shamelessness was to bring people into the palace and then ignore them! No wonder this guy can't remember how many women he has. I'm afraid he knows his wife at most, and one or two favored concubines. As for the rest of the concubines and those who don't even have the title of concubine, he can remember it. .
There is a knife on the head of sex, ten feet soft and red, it is the sharpest weapon that can kill a man. Li Xian has never thought of his woman as an object. With his position, even if he did the same thing as Wu Chengsi, at most he would be impeached twice by the official, and he would not even get any real punishment. As for the courtiers and other men outside, they would laugh it off after hearing the news.
Because this is the dream of all men in this era. In their eyes, having more women is a manifestation of status and power and cannot be blamed.
Although, as a man, just thinking about it, you can feel how good it is to do this, but Li Xian is not willing to follow the crowd. The secretion of dopamine does not necessarily have to be obtained through emission. There are many other channels, right?
Just when he was about to say a few words, he saw Wu Chengsi opposite him, showing a very familiar smile.
How to put it, maybe only "obscene" can be used to describe it.
Colleagues in later generations would have this look on their faces when they told dirty jokes.
Sure enough, Wu Chengsi spoke: "Prince, you have entered the East Palace, and my cousin has not officially congratulated you yet. How about this, I brought a team of dancers here, and I will give them to you."
Dancer? Li Xian really wanted to say that he rejected all outsiders now. Who knows if there were spies among them?
However, when the words came to his lips, they turned into: "My cousin's kindness, Gu Xin accepts it, but it's not convenient for Gu to accept it now, lest he be accused of indulging in singing and dancing!"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "Don't refuse in a hurry. In this way, you can take a look first and then..."
Before Wu Chengsi finished speaking, Li Yun walked in and interrupted him: "Your Majesty, the dinner is ready, should we pass it on now?"
Hearing this, Wu Chengsi quickly said: "In addition, I ordered people to move these few small cases and clear a place so that the dancers I brought can come in and perform dances."
Li Yun frowned and didn't respond. Instead, he looked at His Highness, waiting for His Highness's reply.
Watching singing and dancing while eating? Although I wanted to reject Wu Chengsi, it would be good to have sex for free before rejecting him.
Besides, if you find some faults after reading it, just reject it and don’t want it.
Li Xian nodded and said to Li Yun, "Just do what my cousin said."
Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince relented, Li Yun bowed to Wu Chengsi and walked out without calling anyone, grabbing four cases by himself.
I originally planned to entertain Cui Yu today, so the kitchen prepared a lot of dishes.
Mapo tofu, although there is no chili pepper and the use of dogwood is a bit spicy and unauthentic, but for now we can only make do with it.
Eat mapo tofu when it’s hot in summer, and popsicles when it’s coldest in winter. The more this happens, the more delicious it becomes.
The aroma of Mapo Tofu made Wu Chengsi stunned, but remembering the purpose of his visit today, he still suppressed his greed and looked at the door of the study, waiting for the dancer he had carefully selected to come in.
He couldn't help but feel a little anxious after waiting around and seeing no one.
This team of dancers was specially trained by him from the Jiaofang Division. Whether it's body appearance or dancing skills, they are impeccable. The most outrageous thing is that one of them has blond hair and is said to be from the Western Region or even further west. Moreover, what is even more valuable on top of being outrageous is that this woman is still a virgin.
He spent a lot of money to get such a masterpiece. He originally wanted to enjoy it himself, but after thinking hard, he could only choose to make Xiao Chengsi feel wronged. Prince! And looking at the current situation, the prince is very likely to be able to secure this position, so as his eldest cousin, it is really necessary to flatter this cousin.
Seeing Wu Chengsi fidgeting, Li Xian ignored him and enjoyed his dinner first.
Since Li Yun took over the internal affairs of the East Palace, the defense of the East Palace has become much tighter based on the training of Li Hong.
When Wu Chengsi brought a group of dancers into the East Palace, they would be searched and thoroughly investigated. Now that they were going to see the prince, Li Yun would definitely have to check it personally to make sure it was safe.
However, what Li Xian didn't expect was that Li Xian didn't just check it once, and even brought Zhou Quan in with him, guarding him on both sides.
Li Xian understood Li Yun's hand, but he couldn't even feel the old man's upper limit when it came to Zhou Quan.
Therefore, with these two people guarding him on both sides, Li Xian felt that even if a group of strong men came in, he could probably lie down and sleep without worrying about his safety.
However, the person who came in was not a big man after all.
A group of dancing girls wearing various skirts and veils filed in.
As for the musicians, they were not allowed in at all and could only gather at the door. There were several young eunuchs as black as charcoal standing around to watch.
There are not many people, only twelve. But seeing the pain on Wu Chengsi's face, he knew that these dancers must be his thorns in the side.
When the dancers stood up, Wu Chengsi glanced sideways at Li Yun and Zhou Quan. He knew clearly that it was impossible for these two eunuchs to retreat. Therefore, he simply ignored the two dead eunuchs and clapped his hands.
Immediately, the music started. And these dancers began to dance along with the music.
Li Xian didn't have much intention to watch the dance, but when he saw the blond woman in a red skirt among the dancers, the cup in his hand fell to the table.
At this time, can we see European women? This... no wonder Wu Chengsi's flesh hurts.
Think about the transportation in this era and the distance between Datang and Europe, and you will know how valuable this woman is.
There are many orchids in the Western Regions. In this era when you can easily meet a barbarian on the streets of Chang'an, orchids can easily become one of the playthings in the noble backyard.
Men will be interested in foreign women of different races, regardless of ancient or modern times. It is not unusual for someone with a collecting habit to stuff a Japanese woman into his room.
only....
Looking at Wu Chengsi who looked at him with a happy face, Li Xian felt that he still had to refuse.
This salty guy is willing to put such serious thought into it. Who knows how much trouble it will bring to him if he accepts it?
After all, he is one of the Queen's puppets. If anything falls into his hands, tsk tsk...
Thinking of this, Li Xian completely let go of his mind and just watched the dance without being moved by lust.
I have to say, white skin goes well with red. The eleven dancers around her exist solely to set off the blond orchid in the middle.
The dance continued, but what Li Xian didn't expect was that with a turning movement, the veils on the dancers' faces flew out, revealing exotic smiling faces.
This was nothing, after turning around again, the shoes under their feet slipped out, revealing pairs of small feet.
At this point, any other gentleman of this era would probably not be able to bear it.
Women from the Central Plains do not attach great importance to their own feet. Even if they have given birth to children, they will not let their husbands touch their feet. However, foreign women are different. There are no rules and regulations. They can do things like breaking a ban without any psychological burden.
Pouting his lips, Li Xian picked up the chopsticks, picked out a crispy fried piece from the mapo tofu, and put it into his mouth. Although this kind of mapo tofu is a bit nondescript, he still likes to eat it like this.
Seeing that the prince was indifferent to this scene, Wu Chengsi, who had not moved his chopsticks until now, suddenly couldn't sit still.
Looking at the musicians outside the room, he made a gesture anxiously.
As a result, the music outside suddenly stopped and changed to another tune...
