In the past month, Li Xingchen visited almost all the state capitals along the Yangtze River, and the time he spent with Yang Su and his gang was even longer than the time he spent with the concubines in the harem.
If he didn't have enough confidence in his husband, Yuchi Chifan would really have doubts about his orientation.
After all, in this era, it is not strange for big men to sleep in the same bed and sleep together. What's more, with Li Xingchen's identity, it is naturally impossible to sleep in the same bed with the courtiers. At best, they are under the same roof.
That’s all.
"Your Majesty, do you want to rest?" Xu asked softly.
"Otherwise?" Li Xingchen showed a smirk.
Mrs. Xu was a little at a loss, but Li Xingchen noticed the embroidery on the table and walked over to take a look. The small purse was embroidered with several lotus flowers, which were in bud, just like the scene in early summer. Li Xingchen asked curiously: "The pond.
The lotus flowers in the bag are already in full bloom. It’s midsummer, so why are there scenes from early summer on my purse?”
Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, every stitch and line of embroidery requires time and careful consideration. It was early summer when I finished drawing the pattern of the lotus outside the window. When the embroidery is completed, the lotus outside the window will be in full bloom."
Li Xingchen turned his head slightly and noticed that there was a small word "苏" on one side.
"What's your maiden name?" Li Xingchen said with a smile.
Mrs. Xu's pretty face turned slightly red, and she bowed and said, "My name is Su, and I use the element of Wan Su to make Your Majesty laugh."
"The waist is as smooth as silk, and the moon is bright in the ears. The fingers are like peeling onion roots, and the mouth is as if there are red pills in it. The steps are delicate and delicate, and the exquisiteness is unparalleled." Li Xingchen put his hands on his hands and smiled and said, "Mr. Xiaomu is really willing to praise his granddaughter."
"Your Majesty knows?" Mrs. Xu was a little surprised.
Not only have I read it, but I also memorized "The Peacock Flies Southeast" when I was a kid, okay?
"I learned that I also read "New Odes of Yutai" in Duke Xiaomu's study." Li Xingchen almost said it, coughed lightly, turned his head and looked at Mrs. Xu, and couldn't help but smile, "But Duke Xiaomu
There is nothing wrong with what you said, she is indeed a beauty as pure and flawless as white silk, I am very lucky to have you."
(Author's note: Wan Su, white silk, Wan, sounds the same as "End")
Girls always have to be praised, and Li Xingchen still feels a little bit about this. Of course, he can't be so polite to Chen Ningyuan, that lawless little girl who relies on the emperor's favor.
Xu Su also didn't expect that Li Xingchen would praise her like this, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. I am not worthy of being like this."
Li Xingchen looked at the purse: "Is this something you left for yourself or do you want to give it to someone?"
After Xu Su hesitated for a moment, he whispered: "If your Majesty wants it, just take it."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt that her tone of voice was too disrespectful to Li Xingchen, and her face suddenly turned pale, and she was too respectful to say more. Xu Su's expression fell into Li Xingchen's eyes, and he laughed loudly and said
He stepped forward and hugged the frightened little girl. There was no point in scaring a little girl, and Li Xingchen didn't bother to show his authority as the emperor in this way.
Those who have been with him for a long time in the harem, such as Xiao Xiang, have long lost their habits with Li Xingchen, so I am afraid that such words will not be said every day.
What Xu Su shows now is nothing more than a little girl's fear and uneasiness towards strangers. Li Xingchen had never interacted with her before, and he didn't pay much attention to her along the way, so Xu Su naturally couldn't
I just wanted to embroider a purse for Li Xinchen.
"Leave this to yourself. I prefer plum blossoms in winter. If possible, embroider another one for me in winter." Li Xingchen said with a smile. He obviously felt Xu Su shake slightly and relaxed a little.
tone.
"That" Xu Su bit her lower lip.
Li Xingchen quickly untied his belt, took off his coat, and looked at Xu Su again. Xu Su's hands were trembling slightly and had nowhere to put them.
"Do you still need my help?" Li Xinchen joked.
"No, no need." Xu Su was already nervous. Although she had already known that this day would come, she could not remain indifferent when the day actually came.
Looking at the daughter of the Xu family with a blushing face, Li Xingchen smiled and said, "I don't know how to eat people."
"When Your Majesty first came to Jiankang Mansion, there were rumors that His Majesty could really eat people." Xu Su also relaxed a little and said subconsciously, looking at Li Xingchen with some fear.
At that time, Li Xingchen was almost on the opposite side of Nan Chen, and it was reasonable that there were some unfavorable rumors about Li Xingchen.
After all, in these troubled times, it is not known that a tycoon eats several babies and women every day. He cannot be considered a well-known tycoon. As for whether there is such a thing, it is unknown. After all, some of them are for attack.
The enemy used his own fear to strengthen the people's courage to cooperate with the imperial court to resist. Some of them were rumors spread among neighbors, and of course there were some that were probably true.
After all, "Two-Legged Sheep" only happened a hundred years ago, and it's not that far away from now.
Li Xingchen had no intention of asking for guilt. Of course, he knew that there was probably the hands and feet of the East Palace behind this. But since everyone was on the opposite side at the time, these rumors were reasonable. They were just to scare the little girl. What really happened?
Men who have seen Li Xinchen's soldiers and horses on the street, how can they not know it in their hearts?
Such a neat and majestic team obviously has nothing to do with drinking blood.
However, Li Xingchen didn't mind taking advantage of the situation. He threw Xu Su directly onto the bed with all his teeth and claws: "Is this what eating people looks like?"
Xu Su was startled, and suddenly felt a chill all over her body. It turned out that Li Xingchen had taken advantage of her unpreparedness and untied her clothes, followed by her underwear and undergarments.
Xu Su didn't care to think about whether Li Xinchen could eat people, and covered her face without daring to look further. After a brief coolness, she felt Li Xinchen's passion.
"Your Majesty," Xu Su called in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows.
"I'm a little scared," Xu Su said reluctantly.
"Afraid?" Li Xingchen laughed, blew gently into her ear, and Xu Su suddenly burst into laughter.
"Are you still afraid?"
Xu Su didn't speak this time, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Li Xingchen blew out the candle on the bedside.
The moonlight is like water, shining in front of the bed, outside the green gauze cupboard, and the wind blows the curtain.
Summer nights are always short, and the sun never minds getting up early to go to work.
When the sun shone in instead of the moonlight, Li Xingchen lazily turned over.
Xu Su huddled in his arms and slept soundly. After a stormy night, she was also very tired.
Carefully removing the girl's arm, Li Xingchen was about to get out of bed, but felt the separated arm wrapped around his waist again, followed by the familiar softness from yesterday.
