Chapter 694: Wangs direct daughter sent by her aunt
Su Mingzhe spent more than an hour sending away all the people who came to ask for mercy and prescriptions.
At noon, I returned to Ganlu Hall, prepared to have some lunch, and then took a nap.
Wang De suddenly came to report that Princess Tong'an had been waiting outside the palace to see her.
"Damn! Since aunt is here, why didn't you inform me?"
When Su Mingzhe heard that Princess Tong'an was coming, he was so angry that he kicked Wang De.
"Your Majesty, it is the eldest princess who does not allow this servant to report."
After Wang De was kicked down, he did not dare to complain. Instead, he smiled helplessly and said:
"My servant asked the eldest princess and the two younger princesses to rest in the side hall. Do you think you should invite her old man to come over now?"
"Forget it, I'll go to the side hall."
Su Mingzhe did not dare to let the eldest princess come to see him.
This is the rule set by the old man Wang Gui, the Minister of Rites.
Between family etiquette and national etiquette, family etiquette is the main one.
Although Su Mingzhe is the emperor, he is just a nephew in front of Princess Tong'an.
According to family etiquette, the nephew must greet his aunt respectfully.
The eldest princess of Tong'an is the half-sister of Emperor Gaozu and the biological aunt of Su Mingzhe. She is nearly 70 years old this year.
This aunt had a bad fate. She married her first husband when she was young, and they had a daughter. Later, her husband was drafted and died on the battlefield of Goguryeo.
In the eighth year of Daye's reign, Princess Dachang of Tong'an married her second husband Wang Yu.
At this time, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty heard that the daughter she had with her first husband was docile and beautiful, so he sent someone to take her into the harem, and later took her to Yangzhou.
In the end, the daughter disappeared.
Soon after, the world was in chaos, and Princess Tong'an, Wei Zheng, Li Shentong and others were captured by Dou Jiande for nearly a year.
Although Dou Jiande treated Princess Tong'an with courtesy, the fate of Princess Tong'an did not improve.
In the eighth year of Emperor Wude's reign, Wang Yu died of illness while still in office.
After that, the eldest princess of Tong'an lived in Chang'an City to take care of herself.
Although he was close to Princess An and the emperor, he didn't have much contact with her on weekdays.
First, the eldest princess of Tong'an is old and doesn't go out often.
Secondly, Li Shimin had a lot of things to do. If he could visit his aunt once or twice a year, he would be considered respectful and filial.
On weekdays, Empress Changsun and the four concubines Yang, Yan, Wei and Yin go to visit the eldest princess.
Now that Princess Tong'an has taken the initiative to come to the palace to ask for an audience, Su Mingzhe naturally wants to meet her in person.
Within two steps, Su Mingzhe arrived at the door of the side hall. When Wang De opened the door, Su Mingzhe went to the imperial steps to greet his aunt, who was holding a few children chatting and laughing:
"My nephew sends his regards to his aunt."
Su Mingzhe walked up to the eldest princess, bowed again, and then blamed himself:
"Auntie, if anything happens, just ask someone to inform me. Why bother making this trip yourself? It's really worrying."
"It's okay. I've been bored at home for a long time, so I came out for a walk."
The eldest princess of Tong'an is said to be in her late seventies, about the same age as Mr. Wang Gui, but her body is still light and strong, and she walks with a steady step and an extraordinary dignity.
Su Mingzhe stretched out his hand to support his aunt, and the two of them walked out of the side hall, entered the Ganlu Hall, and sat behind the royal eucalyptus.
"Feng'er, Yan'er, come here and let His Majesty take a look at you."
After Princess Tong'an sat down, she waved to the pair of beautiful girls she had brought with her.
Su Mingzhe looked back and his eyes suddenly lit up.
These two sisters are equally elegant in appearance, both elegant and refined, with tall figures. Standing together, they look like side-by-side lotus flowers, setting off each other.
However, what Su Mingzhe is more happy about is that the appearance of the two women is very similar to Hu Sanniang in "Water Margin" and the Queen Wang in "Wu Zetian".
Could it be that Li Zhi’s Queen Wang is one of the two women in front of him?
Su Mingzhe was guessing, his eyes were a little dazed.
Princess Tong'an was very satisfied with the emperor's reaction, and she couldn't help but say with a hint of pride in her tone:
"Your Majesty, these two children are both legitimate daughters of the Wang family. They have lived in my house since they were young. The one on the left is called Wang Yufeng and the one on the right is called Wang Yuyan. They are biological sisters, only one year apart. If Your Majesty falls in love with them, you might as well
Leave them to be female officials in the palace."
"Nephew, thank you very much, aunt."
At this point, Su Mingzhe didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
For Su Mingzhe, accepting the Wang sisters was not a burden at all.
Li Zhi, a brat like him, dares to covet Wu Meiniang, so what if he steals his queen?
If this brat dares to make me angry again, I will even take away his Concubine Xiao Shu.
It was decided that Wang's legitimate daughter Hua would enter the palace as a female official. Su Mingzhe reciprocated the favor and waved others to exit the hall. Then he took a piece of spiritual jade from his neck and handed it to the eldest princess of Tong'an. He said directly:
"Auntie, the Peiyuan Pill is really gone, and we have to wait until next year at the latest to start refining it. However, the effect of this piece of spiritual jade is not worse than that of the Peiyuan Pill. Wearing it all year round can cure diseases and relieve pain."
After hearing Su Mingzhe's explanation, Princess Tong'an was not polite. She took the jade and put it away, and then she scolded:
"You brat, you have a panacea, but you don't know how to give it to your aunt and ask her to ask for it."
Su Mingzhe smiled coquettishly, but he couldn't say that he had forgotten her. He could only say with a smile:
"Next time I start making elixirs, I will definitely give two to my aunt first."
"One is enough."
Princess Tongan was not greedy, she sighed and said:
"I am an old woman with no children. If you can give me one, I will be satisfied."
Hearing what his aunt said, Su Mingzhe quickly comforted her with a few words.
After the aunt and nephew had lunch, Princess Tongan left in a chariot.
Before leaving, she told Su Mingzhe to protect her two grandnieces and not to be bullied by the concubines in the harem.
Su Mingzhe naturally agreed immediately.
After seeing off the eldest princess of Tong'an, Su Mingzhe returned to Ganlu Hall and saw sisters Wang Yufeng and Wang Yuyan still kneeling in the hall, waiting for the man's arrangements.
"Dharma lamp."
Su Mingzhe summoned his bedchamber.
After a while, sisters Wang Yufeng and Wang Yuyan were surprised to see a handsome young master with a bald head walking out of the back bedroom.
"His Majesty."
Fa Deng has been working as a female official for men for more than three months, but she is not shy about meeting outsiders. However, she was quite surprised when she saw the Wang sisters.
Sisters are very rare in this era, not to mention such beautiful and beautiful women.
"This is the dharma lamp, the dormitory official of Ganlu Palace. You two will be in her charge from now on."
Although Su Mingzhe was very satisfied with the two legitimate daughters of the Wang family, he felt that they were not very old and wanted to wait two years before eating.
According to the system of female officials in the harem of the Tang Dynasty, there were two female officials in each department.
In addition to Fa Deng, the 'Xiao Beauty', there is also a 'Yuan Beauty' among the female officials in the dormitory.
‘Yuan Meiren’ is a descendant of the Northern Wei Dynasty royal family.
And 'Xiao Meiren' is a descendant of the Nanliang royal family.
These two female officials were both descendants of the royal family, so they complemented each other very well.
When sisters Wang Yufeng and Wang Yuyan saw that the emperor assigned their sisters to a female official in the harem, they immediately panicked.
Although they are still in their prime, they have been living with the eldest princess of Tong'an since they were young. They know very well that their future destiny will depend entirely on the favor of men.
From the perspective of the two women, a man leaving himself to another woman to take care of is no different from leaving two sisters to fend for themselves.
Wang Yufeng's clear and beautiful eyes turned, she pulled her sister to the center of the hall, bowed, and asked softly:
"Your Majesty, my sister and I have learned music, singing and dancing since we were young. We would like to perform a dance for Your Majesty. Please allow Your Majesty's permission."
"OK."
Su Mingzhe could also understand the two women's desire for pampering, so he did not refuse Wang Yufeng's request.
Wang Yufeng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the man allowed her sisters to dance.
She and her sister lived in Tong'an Princess Dachang's Mansion. They only dabbled in classics and history, and spent most of their time on music, singing and dancing.
Because Princess Tong'an once said that men are all lustful, and if a woman wants to capture a man's heart, she must learn how to charm her.
In order to win the battle, the two sisters took off their outer clothes before dancing, revealing the soft and close-fitting Chinese bras underneath, which involuntarily revealed their figures to the men.
Su Mingzhe's eyes lit up when he saw it.
Unexpectedly, these sisters are not very old, but their figures are even more enchanting and graceful than the little master Fandeng.
The two sisters slowly came to the center of the hall, their slender and soft figures clearly visible.
The two women sometimes spin rapidly and sometimes jump rapidly.
The agile and light dance steps are graceful and graceful, just like a stream flowing briskly in the hall.
The wide hem of the skirt flew up, revealing the fresh and fair skin underneath, which dazzled everyone.
If the two women were just dancing, Su Mingzhe would most likely applaud them.
Whether they are older sisters or younger sisters, their dancing postures are all very graceful.
However, while the two sisters were dancing, every casual expression seemed to be teasing the man.
When Su Mingzhe looked at those two pairs of bright and beautiful eyes, the two sisters rushed to wink at the man.
Her delicate and moist red lips hummed softly, like a murmur between lovers.
By this time, Su Mingzhe had already ignored the ages of the two women and focused on admiring the dance of the two women.
Plump and soft.
Gentle and shy.
Elegant and dreamy.
"His Majesty."
After the dance, the two women and the man looked at each other with bright eyes, feeling both happy and ashamed in their hearts.
"Come here and sit here."
Su Mingzhe waved to the two sisters and asked them to sit next to him.
Seeing this, Fang Deng on the other side took the initiative to go to the dormitory to make a bed without the man's instructions.
Although it is still quite early, Fa Deng estimates that the man will not leave the Manna Hall from this afternoon to tomorrow morning.
