The Empress's Gigolo

Chapter 815: Three More Days To Go

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

For the next two days, many senior officials carried a sack when attending court.

These sacks were made from animal guts, were about the size of a palm, could fit in two Altos [1. A kei car build by Suzuki] and wouldn’t shrink because they were made from a type of superelastic material.

Ren Baqian felt that they wouldn’t tear if they were made into stockings!

He imagined two people rolling in the bedsheets, hot with desire, and about to go all the way, but then, he couldn’t tear the stockings even after using all his strength.

The effort of the male was in vain, and he looked pale the next day as if suffering from kidney failure! Only heaven knew that he spent the whole night trying to tear the stockings and finally didn’t know why he was trying to tear the stockings.

Trying to tear the stockings was more fun than making love!

His imagination was getting too wild.

Over the next two days, the senior officials would go to the hall and pour out the contents from the sack that each of them carried. Piles and piles of precious jewelry were shining in the hall with golden brilliance.

Minister Tu Wan, a dignified and mature lady from the Ministry of Revenue, was laughing until her 16 teeth were showing.

All of these things were going into the imperial treasury.

70 percent of the gifts were meant for the treasury, while the other 30 percent were given to the officials as a bonus.

Even the givers from the Yun Nation were surprised by the integrity of these officials who immediately handed over the required portion to the treasury.

In fact, these people wouldn’t even have had the chance to send their gifts if Ren Baqian had not intentionally reframed the empress’s concept of taking bribes into one of accepting contributions to the imperial treasury.

It wasn’t that the aboriginals had high moral consciousness, but they didn’t have a habit of giving and receiving gifts.

These aboriginals only knew one thing: the power of the fist.

Furthermore, all of these officials had land and houses after plundering the Hao Nation and the Yun Nation. They weren’t filthy rich, but were reasonably wealthy and didn’t need more wealth.

More important was the extreme poverty and the lack of material goods in Dayao. There was nowhere to spend the money! From top to bottom, no one had the experience of being fascinated by wealth.

Furthermore, these people from the Yun Nation were like mice coming in the thousands to send gifts and establish connections. How was this fact supposed to be hidden?

If Ren Baqian hadn’t anticipated this, they wouldn’t even have the chance to knock on the door!

This was a happy situation for everyone. The imperial treasury had more income, the senior officials felt justified in getting a bonus, and the people from the Yun Nation were relieved.

If they couldn’t deliver these gifts, they would feel burdened when returning.

The only one who didn’t feel good was the person who came up with this idea, Ren Baqian.

Those d*mn idiots were either blind or stupid. Only a few people gave him, the great prince, some presents. When he checked, one of these people gave Tong Zhenye one third more than what he gave to Ren Baqian!

It didn’t occur to Ren Baqian that not seeing him in court that day, plus the fact he wasn’t an aboriginal, had led those people to conclude that he wasn’t among the center of influence in court.

“Those Jing Tribe people are more likeable!” Ren Baqian purred.

The Jing Tribe people gave a generous gift to the empress. Plus, each clan and sect sent gifts to him separately. In total, he received more gifts from them than the empress did! They were indeed very thoughtful!

His kindness to them wasn’t in vain!

Lin Mengsheng, who was sitting across from him, was studying 1,000 characters and the simplified characters. He raised his head to look at Ren Baqian strangely and wondered why Ren Baqian said this.

Then, he thought of something and got lost in his musing!

“The holidays start tomorrow and last 16 days long. There is no need to come to school during this period,” Ren Baqian said before going to the classroom and assigning homework for the students.

Although he was going to get married soon, he still didn’t forget the students. How dedicated could one be!

“Principal Ren, this is a big occasion. Isn’t assigning homework rather depressing?” Du Laoliu asked mischievously as a bunch of students laughed heartily.

Tong Lan smiled coldly. Knowing Ren Baqian, things weren’t as simple as they looked!

Ren Baqian chuckled and replied, “Because of this big occasion, I’m giving you twice the amount of homework! There’s also a workbook. Are you happy and excited?”

Everyone turned to glare at Du Laoliu!

Why couldn’t Ren Baqian accumulate some merit when he was going to get married soon?

After Ren Baqian happily left the classroom, a scuffle broke out. Or rather, a group of students went after Du Laoliu.

It could also be construed as Du Laoliu challenging all the other students.

Just as Ren Baqian was about to leave the academy, Li Fu appeared out of nowhere like a ghost and said, “Little fellow!”

“Uncle Li! Has anyone told you that you are scary?” Ren Baqian saw an old face full of wrinkles. Luckily, he was prepared for such a surprise. Anyone else would have suffered a heart attack.

“Cough, you talk too much!” Li Fu looked strange. It was as if he was nostalgic and had some regrets.

Based on his past, it was understandable.

If the gods didn’t make him a cuckold, he wouldn’t be in such a state and would have lived a simple and good life with his wife and kids.

As a result, he most likely wouldn’t have become the world’s most powerful expert.

“This is for you!” Li Fu handed him a book.

“Bedroom techniques?” Ren Baqian asked. He was wondering whether this had anything to do with the [Godly Finger]?

Ptooie! Li Fu spat his saliva as if he was spitting nails, and it almost hit Ren Baqian’s foot.

“This is what I have learned over the years! Since I have nobody to pass it on to, I’m giving it to you!” Li Fu declared casually.

Another person might have regarded it as a treasure or buried it somewhere and said loudly, “Do you want strength? My martial arts skills and everything I know are buried here! ONE PIECE!”

Although Li Fu was the world’s most powerful expert, he didn’t take his martial arts skills seriously.

Through Ren Baqian, he had the hope of going up into the sky. As he had nothing valuable to give Ren Baqian for his wedding, he might as well give this book which he might bury one day.

Ren Baqian quickly put the book in his pocket. Even though Li Fu wasn’t very serious, he was the world’s most powerful expert. Plus, his skills were solid. Ren Baqian had always suspected that Li Fu’s skills were far above the Spirit Wheel level.

This book of knowledge could become a family heirloom.

After receiving this precious gift from Li Fu, Ren Baqian’s mood soared. He smiled at Li Fu and said, “Thank you very much! I heard that you are selling iron crotch shields with a partner. How is business?”

“Cough, I used to lead a wandering life and needed nothing. There are no wild goats or cows around, so I have to make a living because money is needed for food! The people here do not know how to respect their elders. Previously, I was well fed everywhere I went and was even given money. This place is much worse! People come to challenge me every day, yet I’m not even paid a hardship allowance!” Li Fu complained.

Ren Baqian felt that the world’s most powerful expert wasn’t having a good time in Lan City.

However, who was the one who came up with this iron crotch shield? It was presumably not Li Fu!

Well, these shields were sold in front of the tavern run by Ning Caichen on Jing Street. This guy must have come up with the idea after seeing people coming in every day after receiving a kick.

Then, they colluded and this shield became very popular!

It was called an iron shield, but it was actually made from a type of iron-wood and coated in iron foil. To Li Fu, it was about the same since the shield would be crushed after one kick! However, his kicks were getting more accurate, and the injuries were reduced by half. These shields naturally became a bestseller.

“It’s good to spend a night in the bridal chamber, but do not indulge in it every day!” Li Fu advised before saying, “I’m leaving!”

He simply disappeared without a trace.

Li Fu appeared out of nowhere like a ghost and departed without a trace.

Ren Baqian went by the eerie streets as he hurried back to the palace. It was three days before the grand wedding.
