The Empress’s Gigolo

Ren Baqian left the palace before midnight as he wasn’t supposed to be in the palace the day before the wedding.

The clothes had already been sent in advance to the Tong Residence.

Although it was midnight, very few areas of Lan City were dark due to the street lights.

At this time, all the houses on Jingyang Street were brightly lit and people were busily decorating the walls.

All kinds of flowers, which were brought into the city recently, were hung on the walls and made Beihong District look like a garden paradise.

Two sunflowers were inserted into the eye sockets of a skull… This was probably considered cute by the aboriginals!

A garland was even hung on a thigh bone!

The spines of fierce beasts were fully covered with flowers.

Hand bones were mounted on the walls with a red flower on each palm.

The bones danced with the flowers in the wind, and the fragrance wafted through the air.

Ren Baqian felt even colder…

The Great Elder, Shi Qing, got others to place a rocking chair and a table in front of the door. He and the Junior Elder, Kou Zhehai, fanned themselves as they watched people busily working.

Seeing Ren Baqian, the two nodded their heads and smiled.

After the empress came back from the Sixty Thousand Mountains and explained the situation of Qi Ziting, Kou Zhehai became more law-abiding.

Ren Baqian cupped his hands toward them and continued moving forward.

The area in front wasn’t much different, and people were busy everywhere.

The residences of Minister Tu Wan, Minister Xuan Hua, Minister Zhuo Yan, Minister Xiong Yaohe, General Hong Wu, and the commanders of the five protectorates were all located in the Beihong District next to Jingyang Street. This was the core area of Lan City. At this time, almost all of them were busy with activities.

In the areas further away, the residences of the junior officials were also ablaze with lights.

When he arrived at the Tong Residence, they were doing cleaning preparations and sprinkling water on the flowers.

A fierce looking middle-aged man stood outside the door and greeted him with a smile, “My respects to Zhao Prince Consort!”

The title of prince consort had been recorded in the register and posted on various bulletin boards. In other words, although the wedding was in half a day, Ren Baqian was officially a prince consort now.

The memory of the person who gave him his name suddenly came up. That guy had said that Ren Baqian would live up to 8,000 years. He thought that it was bullshit, but it became true!

As for Ren Wannian… Oh, their father tried to match his name to Ren Baqian’s name and just named him simply.

Ren Wannian had been complaining about this for years! 1,000 year tortoise, 10,000 year turtle.

“Thanks for the hard work!” Ren Baqian jumped down and cupped his hands.

In front of him was Tong Shan, the son of Tong Zhenye, the father of Tong Lan, and a typical case of a man dominated by a wife who could outfight him.

Tong Lan’s mother was called Tie Kuang, which didn’t sound like a woman’s name. Her father was called Tie Feng, nicknamed Mad Tie, and was the commander of the Protectorate of the North.

People are like their namesake. After being called Mad Tie for half of his life, he took it to the extreme and named his daughter Tie Kuang.

“Zhao Prince Consort, you are welcome! This is an honor for the Tong family!” Tong Shan laughed heartily. “Please come in. My father is waiting for you.”

Shortly after entering, Ren Baqian heard a clear voice yell, “Yagui!”

The little lolita, Tong Lan, was dressed in white as usual, but in addition, she wore a red belt on her waist and a red headband on her forehead.

She had grown taller and was almost 1.4 meters tall now.

“Hey, this is for you!” In a flash, the little girl was in front of him and handed him a box.

Ren Baqian smiled as he took the gift and said, “You are so kind.”

Once in a while, the little lolita was rather cute.

On the box was written three words: “Healing Bone Cream!”

Ren Baqian gave a crafty smile and asked, “Have you done your homework?”

They were challenging each other!

Her face sank as she groaned and complained with some grievance, “I used half of my monthly allowance to buy it!”

She rolled her eyes at Ren Baqian until her pupils couldn’t be seen and disappeared after jumping over the wall.

Upon entering the main hall, he saw many tall hunks hanging up red banners.

Tong Zhenye was sitting here drinking.

“Zhao Prince Consort is here!” Tong Zhenye raised his head to smile at Ren Baqian craftily.

“Is Sir Tong having a toothache?” His smile was almost a replica of Tong Zhenye’s smile.

“Did you throw that stone?”

“What stone?” Ren Baqian didn’t understand.

The two baldies looked at each other and then started to laugh loudly.

“I must be mistaken!”

When Tong Zhenye slapped Ren Baqian on the shoulder, it sounded like a wooden board being hit.

“I don’t know what you are talking about, and I think you are mistaken.”

“Father, I have other things to attend to,” Tong Shan said from the side.

Tong Zhenye waved his hands to shoo him away.

“Change your clothes first.” Tong Zhenye brought Ren Baqian to a room in the back. “Everything’s here. Do you need any help?”

Ren Baqian glanced at the two fierce-looking men behind Tong Zhenye who were trying to appear gentle, trembled, and replied, “No thanks, I can do it myself.”

After entering the room, he discovered some people inside. There were two young ladies wearing green dresses who didn’t look like aboriginals.

The main thing was that their eyes were watery, their cheeks were red, and they looked shy. What was the meaning of this?

“I have arranged for them to help Zhao Prince Consort put on the new clothes!” Tong Zhenye laughed loudly from outside the doorway.

Ren Baqian suddenly shivered. Tong Zhenye had sent two young ladies from the brothel to help him change. What was he trying to do?

Wasn’t it just throwing a stone? Did he have to be so mean?

Believe it or not, the empress would beat the sh*t out of him!

“Hey, what are you doing? Don’t just touch anywhere… What are you touching… Oh…!” Ren Baqian became nervous. These two girls were quite strong, and they actually had the strength of Earth Wheel experts!

As he half-heartedly resisted, the two girls stripped him naked!

They let out a gasp and blushed.

This was the first time they saw one that was glowing.

With their style, expressions, voices, and small hands, it was no wonder that Tong Zhenye indulged in pleasure every day.

Fortunately, Tong Zhenye didn’t dare to overdo it. The two ladies didn’t want to be buried under the palace tomorrow by the Empress. They carefully dressed him in red and prudently retreated to one side.

This robe was quite similar to those worn in the imperial court, but was more complicated. Without the help of these two girls, Ren Baqian would have had a hard time putting it on.

Ren Baqian stood in front of the mirror and was satisfied with the reflected image. After all, a handsome man wearing anything would still look handsome.

During happy events, people would be in high spirits. Even clothed in such a way, the light emitted from the forehead would still be red.

With this new robe and a red flower on his chest, Ren Baqian felt that the robe was impeding his movements.

Tong Zhenye grabbed him by the arm the moment he came out and brought him to a hall by the side.

“Dawn is still far away. It’s a long, long night, so why don’t we drink some wine?” he asked.

Ren Baqian panicked. He was going to get married, yet this joker wanted him to drink.

“Drinking messes things up. We will talk about it another day.” Ren Baqian tried to slip away, but the hands of Tong Zhenye were like iron clamps.

“Just drink less. What’s there to be afraid of?” Tong Zhenye laughed loudly. “Furthermore, there is green vine soup that I have prepared…”

“Somebody threw a stone at me yesterday, and you seemed to be nearby. Did you see anything?”

In Ren Baqian’s mind, there were only these words, I have sinned!

“You old geezer, I will not drink even if you beat me to death!”

Three vats of wine were brought up to the room… Tong Zhenye held a vat in one hand and a funnel in the other.

Then, he asked, “Sir Ren, do you want to do it yourself or do you want me to help you?”

An hour later…

“Sir Ren, if this new robe is stained with wine, Her Majesty will be angry. You might as well take it off!” Tong Zhenye’s voice was almost loud enough to lift the roof off.

An hour later… Ren Baqian was in his underpants with bleary eyes. Tong Zhenye was also in his underpants and showing off his muscular body as he danced on the table…

“Green vine… soup… Where is it?”

“Coming soon… Coming. Hahahaha!”

Another hour later…”Hoo, hoo..”

“Hoo, hoo…”
