If this "noble man" suddenly became interested again, wouldn't he really be exhausted to death?!
Fortunately, all this was just Jie Li's imagination. In fact, Su Chen didn't pay much attention to him at all, let alone deliberately wearing small shoes for him.
According to the original historical trend, Jieli's life after being captured could be described as a life of luxury and luxury. He turned into a big fat man because of eating too much, and then his good times did not last long and he died...
Although his current salary situation is not as good as before, his mental state is getting better and better. Even his body and bones have become leaner due to frequent dancing. He is expected to live for a long time.
As for Su Chen, he also hopes that Jieli can live longer.
After all, he can be regarded as the trophy of his first attack and a milestone representative of the destiny reform of the Tang Dynasty, so let him live well and be a mascot.
…
After the dance program ended, all the ministers clapped their hands and applauded, and His Majesty Li Er also signaled the chamberlain to continue with the next program.
After a while, I saw several women in palace clothes with gauze faces and light yellow dresses, with good figures and curvy figures, walking slowly and slowly.
"Jingle Bell."
As they moved around, a crisp sound of bells sounded in the hall, which was emitted by the red silk bells on the fair ankles of the palace ladies.
Although the dancers have graceful postures and light gaits, judging from their temperament and dress, we can know that they are not natives of the Tang Dynasty.
Regarding this point, the minister obviously saw it and couldn't help but started talking about it.
As the silk and bamboo played, the dancers began to dance gracefully.
For a time, the hall was filled with an exotic atmosphere.
Seeing this, Su Chen asked His Majesty Li Er: "These women don't seem to be from my Tang Dynasty, right?"
His Majesty Li Er nodded, with a little pride on his face, and said: "Yes, they are not from our Tang Dynasty, but princesses from foreign countries!"
Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help showing a surprised expression.
What is the origin of these dancers?
Seeing the change in Su Chen's facial expression, His Majesty Li Er suddenly felt a little confused and continued: "Actually, I refused when they sent the person over at first, but they were so sincere that it made me uncomfortable later.
So I refused again, so I reluctantly accepted."
Hearing this, Su Chen's mouth twitched and he almost couldn't help but spit out the words.
Can this old Li be a little more serious...
"Okay, okay, no more joking."
His Majesty Li Er coughed lightly and said sternly: "Actually, I guess they noticed something and didn't dare to propose marriage directly, so they sent these princesses in the hope that I could like one of them and take them into the harem.
I want to use this to gain the blessing of my Tang Dynasty."
Having said this, as if to prove His Majesty Li Er's words, the vocal music in the hall suddenly changed, attracting everyone's attention.
As the music changed, the postures of the dancers also suddenly changed. Everyone took off the gauze on their faces while spinning, revealing their exquisite and beautiful exotic faces.
Coupled with the exotic dance postures, the dancers' figures became more and more charming. Even Su Chen couldn't help but take a look, but soon felt that they were boring.
Although the beauty of these dancing princesses is among the best, they are still much inferior to Princess Changle.
"So, these dancers are pretty good, aren't they?" His Majesty Li Er said with a smile.
Su Chenxie glanced at him and said, "Looking at you like this, you seem to have fallen into the trap of those foreign races, right?"
Su Chen was very disdainful of Li Er's performance.
You, a person who even has a family, still want to have a harem, which really makes Su Chen look down on you.
However, to Su Chen's expectation, after hearing these somewhat sarcastic words, His Majesty Li Er sighed softly and said helplessly: "How is it possible? Even if I want to admit them into the harem, that's not the case.
Impossible."
"Why is this?"
Su Chen asked: "Is there anything in this world that you dare not do?"
His Majesty Li Er sighed again and said two words.
"Bloodline."
Hearing this, Su Chen instantly understood what he meant.
Because Li Er has half of the blood of the Hu people, if he brings a foreign princess into the harem, he will definitely be criticized by the world.
After all, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, not only was he not a pure Tang Dynasty, but he also wanted to bring foreigners into the harem. If he really did this, he might be caught by someone with intentions, which would affect his reputation and influence among the people.
Just as Su Chen was thinking intently, Li Er spoke again.
He pointed at the dancing girls and asked, "Let me ask you, what do you think of these dancing girls?"
Hearing this, Su Chen's brain got stuck for a rare moment.
What does Li Er mean by this? Is it a test for himself?
He had just talked about his marriage to Princess Changle before, and then such a question came up. It was difficult for him not to think wrong!
Are all ancient emperors so open-minded?
Su Chen's intuition told him that Li Er might be testing his sincerity towards Princess Changle, so he didn't dare to speak randomly.
After thinking for a moment, Su Chenlang said ambiguously: Why did you suddenly ask me this? It's not like you don't know that I don't want to see these foreign races, isn't this asking in vain? "
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "These foreign women are different. They are my trophies of the Tang Dynasty."
At this point, Li Er didn't hold back and said directly: "I plan to let you pick a few to go back as maids. What do you think?"
"What?"
"Be my maid?"
Hearing this, Su Chen didn't react for the time being.
"Yes." His Majesty Li Er nodded and said seriously.
"Why did you suddenly have such an idea?" Su Chen asked.
"Because of political interests!"
His Majesty Li Er replied with a serious face: "The scale of the coming of all nations this time is far greater than last time. They have obviously been conquered by my cavalry of the Tang Dynasty!"
"After so many foreign wars, they have already developed a deep fear of me, the Tang Dynasty, and they are in constant panic!"
"But this kind of surrender obtained through force deterrence is still not worth dying for, so I wanted to find a way to make them sincerely surrender."
After saying that, His Majesty Li Er winked at Su Chen, but Su Chen didn't understand what he meant at all, and felt a little confused now."
He understood the truth. The foreign tribes wanted to establish friendly and lasting political exchanges with the Tang Dynasty through marriage.
But what does it mean to give someone else's princess to you as a maid?
