91: Boudoir

Chapter 91 Boudoir Affectionate Items

Zheng Yi's sedan chair soon arrived at the Hundred Flowers Palace.

This palace was located on the south side of the Imperial Garden, far away from White Jade Capital.

Most of the entire palace was located within the Imperial Garden, with flowers competing in splendor and exhaling rich fragrances.

Even though it was already late autumn, there were still quite a few flowers vying for beauty and blooming in the dark night.

Zheng Yi strolled leisurely within the Hundred Flowers Palace, appreciating the nighttime floral scenery, which could also be considered one of the major events in life.

Time passed, and Zheng Yi soon stepped into the Hundred Flowers Palace.

But what was strange was that the palace gates were tightly shut, and not even the serving eunuchs or palace maids were anywhere to be found.

"Hmm?"

Zheng Yi asked with puzzlement: "Chengen, did the Hundred Flowers Palace summon Us here? Why is there no trace of anyone?"

Liu Chengen said quizzically: "Your Majesty, it was indeed the head eunuch of the Hundred Flowers Palace who came, but this servant does not know where Consort Wan and the others are."

"this servant will immediately send people to—"

"No need."

Zheng Yi's heart stirred, and he waved his hand to signal: "Everyone, stay where you are."

"Understood."

"Your Majesty, your things."

Liu Chengen trotted two steps forward and handed a small wooden box to Zheng Yi.

Inside this small wooden box were gifts he had specially prepared for the three imperial consorts of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Zheng Yi stepped into the Hundred Flowers Palace alone and discovered that the lights in the direction of the bedchamber were dim, as if figures were swaying.

He continued forward and gently pushed open the doors of the bedchamber.

With a creak.

The wind drifted, and there were indeed figures inside the bedchamber.

The lights inside the bedchamber were dim, but the figures could be clearly seen. Light gauzes fluttered inside the room, resembling a celestial palace.

Zheng Yi cast his gaze over and saw that right on the bed directly ahead in the bedchamber sat a graceful Young Master dressed in cyan, dancing gracefully with two peerless maidens wearing light gauze chest-high ruqun.

One of the peerless maidens had bright eyes; her dainty little mouth held a jade goblet as she gently bent over, her slender figure clearly visible, actually delivering the jade goblet in her mouth right to the lips of the graceful Young Master.

A man and a woman drank wine facing each other with lingering gazes.

The other peerless maiden gently stroked the youth's shoulder, leaning in close with extreme tenderness.

A strange and enchanting aura flowed among these three people, exuding an indescribable aesthetic beauty.

A man?

Zheng Yi frowned, his gaze immediately locking onto the man surrounded by the two peerless maidens.

How could there possibly be a man in Our imperial palace!

Unless...

After a few breaths, the middle-aged man rose gracefully and coquettishly said: "Your Majesty~ Why are you not angry~!"

Although the man's figure was in men's attire, the person herself was a woman.

Her exquisitely beautiful Face had light pink eyeshadow tattooed and painted at the corners of her eyes, making her whole person appear exceptionally charming and seductive.

Dressed in cyan, wearing a scholar's cap on her head, and holding a folding fan in her hand, she possessed an unspeakable romantic flair and elegance.

With just this outfit alone, if she went to a brothel, she wouldn't even need to pay for wine!

Zheng Yi laughed aloud: "The moment We stepped through the door, We recognized you, little goblin."

"Your Majesty~"

The man, which was Zhu Wanwan, let out a coquettish laugh as her figure lunged forward, and was pulled straight into Zheng Yi's embrace.

"Your Majesty, you haven't come to see us three sisters for more than half a year, this concubine will not stand for this!"

"Aren't We here right now!"

This little goblin was wearing a scholar's shirt, but her lower body was completely bare, truly giving Zheng Yi a huge handful of sensory pleasure.

"Your Majesty~!"

Consort Qing and Miao Consort also crowded over. The two women were extremely gorgeous and charming, dazzling Zheng Yi.

"Eh, Your Majesty, what is that you are holding in your hand?"

The sharp-eyed Zhu Wanwan spotted the wooden box in Zheng Yi's hand at a glance and asked quizzically.

"This..."

Zheng Yi smiled and said: "It is a gift We specially prepared for the three Beloved Consorts."

"Gifts?"

The three women's eyes suddenly lit up and they all reached out together, but were easily dodged by Zheng Yi.

"You had Chengen summon Us, saying there was a new dance to present. Let Us first witness Our Beloved Consorts' new dance~"

"Your Majesty~"

The three women giggled coquettishly, their figures retreating rapidly.

Seeing Zhu Wanwan in the middle sway slightly, the scholar's shirt on her body dropped to the ground accordingly, revealing the garments underneath.

Her delicate body exuded a moonlight-white glow under the dim lighting, every detail clearly visible.

Her important parts were wrapped in heavy light gauze, subtle and secretive, yet exuding a rich temptation.

Her arms and legs wore not a shred of clothing, covered only by light gauze, tender like lotus roots.

Just as the three women were about to make a move, Zheng Yi suddenly said: "Stop!"

The three women stopped suspiciously and looked towards Zheng Yi: "Your Majesty?"

"We just happened to remember that there is something among the gifts that is very suitable right now..."

Saying this, he opened the wooden box, took out three identical items from it, and handed them to the three women.

These things were in the shape of slender tubes, looking very similar to light gauze, but they were black.

The three women took them and looked, kneading them carefully with their hands, making a rustling sound, and then they asked quizzically:

"What smooth and tender fabric. This should be sewn from the finest silkworm silk..."

"And this needlework, it must have been sewn by Senior Aunt Changjin of the Directorate of Imperial Apparel, so meticulous."

"It feels so comfortable to touch, but this thing looks like... it's meant to be put on the legs?"

That's right, the first gift Zheng Yi gave to Zhu Wanwan and the others was none other than... silk stockings!

To produce silk stockings, he had sought out quite a few people and Materials, training them for several months before sewing the first batch of black stockings.

Black stockings are justice!

Zheng Yi smiled and said: "Three Beloved Consorts, this item is called silk stockings. Do not underestimate it; it was sewn by people ordered by Us using the finest silkworm silk, and there are only thirty-some pairs in the entire harem."

"Putting this item on your beautiful legs not only has the effect of keeping warm, but can also beautify leg lines, tighten leg muscles, prevent varicose veins, provide cooling and antibacterial effects, and more..."

The three women blankly looked at Zheng Yi. At this moment, His Majesty didn't look like an emperor at all, but rather like a peddler selling products.

Although they didn't understand what Zheng Yi meant, it felt very impressive.

"Cough, cough cough..."

Zheng Yi gave a dry cough and said: "Three Beloved Consorts, quickly put them on and try."

"This..."

The three women hesitated for a moment, but it was Zhu Wanwan who suddenly giggled coquettishly: "Your Majesty, the three of us concubines don't know how to use this item. How about... Your Majesty, you teach us?"

"This... wouldn't be appropriate."

While saying it was inappropriate, Zheng Yi rubbed his hands together and walked up, personally teaching the three women how to put on the silk stockings.

"Lift your leg, right, right, right, maintain a slight curve."

"Step on the stool, raise it slightly, slip it on, right! So smart!"

"Pull slowly, right, right, right... upward, a little higher."

"Your Majesty~"

"Cough cough..."

Zheng Yi gave a tactical dry cough: "Right, We have other gifts here for you."

Saying this, he hurriedly brought the small wooden box over and took out a few items from it.

The first kind was three white fox fur coats, small, exquisite, and very delicate.

"This item is made from white foxes hunted for Us by Minister Miao, the Military Commissioner of the Three Provinces, from Yong Province. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and carries an extraordinary appearance. Beloved Consorts, quickly put them on."

The second piece was three pairs of small and exquisite white fox ears.

"And this item, these are white fox ears, pendants specially made by Us to be worn on both ears."

"Your Majesty~!"

At this time, the three women finally reacted; what kind of gifts were these?

They were, they were boudoir playthings for affection and amusement!

Soon, after some tinkering by Zheng Yi, three cute and alluring little foxes were presented before his eyes.

Black stockings, beast ears—if there were tails as well, it would be even more perfect!

"Three Beloved Consorts, a spring night is short~"

"Your Majesty, concubines' new dance~"

"What new dance, we'll talk after we're done!"

"Aiya Your Majesty, allow this concubine to first take off this set of white fox..."

"Don't take it off, don't take it off, what We want is precisely the white fox~"

"Aiya~"

"Your Majesty, this concubine still has an important matter to ask of you!"

"I agree, We agree! Turn around quickly, don't look back, sigh, right, right, right~!"

Two hours later, Zheng Yi, having washed up anew, lay inside the bedchamber of the Hundred Flowers Palace and connected with the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror.

[Absorbed Yin Qi, "Heavenly Demon Scripture" Internal Energy + 10.]

Among the three women, Zhu Wanwan had a special Physique, possessing the renowned vessel "Jade-Faced White Tiger", leaving Zheng Yi lingering and reluctant to leave.

After one night, he had learned the Baihua Sect's martial Dao Cultivation Technique: "Heavenly Demon Scripture".

What was a pity was that this "Heavenly Demon Scripture" was only an ordinary martial Dao Cultivation Technique, and the absorbed cultivation was directly neutralized by the magical power within his body.

There was another matter that Zheng Yi found regrettable.

Zhu Wanwan, Lin Qinger, and Rong Miaoer were all ordinary women; although peerless in beauty, they lacked Spiritual Roots.

Without Spiritual Roots, they could not cultivate, which also proved that the looks of these three women would easily age, and sooner or later they would leave him.

It was foreseeable that a century later, he would still be alive and well, while the three exquisite beauties, Zhu Wanwan, would pass away with the wind.

At most, they would only leave a trace of memory in his mind.

Not to mention the three of Zhu Wanwan, even Xu Qingluan, Lu Liner, Li Changle, as well as Lan Lingrong, Jian Yu, Bi He, and others were merely a part of his memories.

This was the price of an immortal being.

What a pity.

If they possessed Spiritual Roots, he truly couldn't bear to part with these three beauties who had given him supreme enjoyment.

As for what the three women sought tonight, it was merely to secure a foundation for the Baihua Sect.

As a Martial Forest Sect, the Baihua Sect had a Martial Artist in the Grandmaster Realm within its gates.

Unfortunately, this Grandmaster Realm Martial Artist had long been heavily injured due to a conflict with another Sect, and had now passed away.

And as a Sect consisting entirely of women, the Baihua Sect had long been coveted by countless factions.

The three of them entering the palace this time was precisely to seek a way out for the Baihua Sect!

Looking across the entire world, only the Great Yu imperial family could become their greatest backing.

After a little thought, Zheng Yi agreed to this matter.

As an exchange, Zheng Yi wanted the brothels under the Baihua Sect to cooperate with the Jinyi Guard and provide intelligence for the Jinyi Guard.

This matter was mutually beneficial, and Zheng Yi even arranged a secret meeting with the current Sect Leader of the Baihua Sect.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yi shook his head.

The Baihua Sect Leader—if it weren't for the sake of his three imperial consorts, what the hell was the Baihua Sect Leader?!

"Zhu Wanwan, Lin Qinger, and Rong Miaoer all lack Spiritual Roots. I wonder if that Qin Qingxuan of Cihang Nunnery will have Spiritual Roots?"

Zheng Yi suddenly thought that these Martial Forest women had all been left hanging by him, and only the three of Zhu Wanwan had made the first move.

It seemed it was time to make a move on these women.

There was another matter.

Zheng Yi thought of his subordinates, the Mojin Captains.

More than half a year had passed since the matter of excavating the imperial mausoleum; why was there still no movement?

He was still waiting for the Xiuzhen Cultivation Technique inside the imperial mausoleum!

The next day.

Zheng Yi ordered Liu Chengen to summon Hu Bafeng, who presided over the construction of his imperial mausoleum.

"Your humble subject pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Dust-laden Hu Bafeng paid a grand obeisance, the hair at the back of his head still stained with a handful of mud.

Clearly, he was still working diligently before coming here.

"Beloved subject, rise."

Zheng Yi said: "How is the construction of Our mausoleum progressing?"
