Zheng Yi’s sedan quickly arrived at the Baihua Palace.

This palace is located on the south side of the Imperial Garden, far from Baiyu City.

Most of the palace is within the Imperial Garden, where flowers bloom in great abundance and emit a rich fragrance.

Even though it was already late autumn, there were still many flowers competing for beauty, blooming in the night.

Zheng Yi strolled through Baihua Palace, admiring the night scenery of flowers, which was considered one of life’s major pleasures.

As time passed, Zheng Yi soon stepped into Baihua Palace.

But strangely, the palace gates were closed, and even the eunuchs and palace maids who tended to the palace were nowhere to be seen.

“Hmm?”

Zheng Yi wondered, “Cheng’en, is it Baihua Palace that called me? Why is there no one in sight?”

Liu Cheng’en puzzled, “Your Majesty, it was indeed Baihua Palace’s Chief Eunuch who came, but I don’t know where Consort Wan and the others are.”

“I can send someone…”

“No need.”

Zheng Yi thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said, “Everyone, stay where you are.”

“Yes.”

“Your Majesty, your items.”

Liu Cheng’en took a few quick steps and handed a small wooden box to Zheng Yi.

This small wooden box contained gifts specially prepared for the three concubines of Baihua Palace.

Zheng Yi entered Baihua Palace alone and noticed that the direction of the bedchamber was dimly lit, with shadows flickering.

He continued forward and gently pushed open the bedchamber door.

“Creak.”

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

Though the bedchamber was dimly lit, the shadows were visible, and lightweight silk fluttered inside like an ethereal palace.

Looking around, Zheng Yi saw a gentleman in a blue robe sitting at the front of the bedchamber, dancing gracefully with two young girls dressed in light silk chest-high soft skirts.

One of the stunningly beautiful girls had bright eyes and a charming mouth, biting a jade cup as she gracefully bent over, her slender figure clearly visible, astonishingly offering the cup to the gentleman’s lips.

A man and a woman drink together, their eyes soft as silk.

The other girl gently rested her hand on the young man’s shoulder, leaned close, and showed incredible tenderness.

A strange yet enchanting aura flowed around the three of them, revealing an indescribable beauty.

A man?

Zheng Yi frowned and immediately focused his gaze on the man surrounded by the two stunningly beautiful girls.

How could there be a man in my Imperial Palace!

Unless…

A few breaths later, the middle-aged man elegantly rose and said in a sweet voice, “Your Majesty~ Why aren’t you angry~!”

Though the man’s attire was male, she was in fact a woman.

Her absolutely stunning face, with the corners of her eyes painted with light pink eyeshadow, made her look incredibly charming.

Dressed in a blue robe, with a scholar’s hat on her head and a folding fan in hand, her demeanor was laid-back and suave.

With just this attire, one wouldn’t need to spend money on drinks in a brothel!

Zheng Yi laughed heartily, “I recognized you, little demon, as soon as I stepped in.”

“Your Majesty~”

The man, also known as Zhuu Wanwan, chuckled, moved forward, and was embraced by Zheng Yi.

“Your Majesty, you haven’t come to see us sisters for half a year, I won’t accept it!”

“But here I am!”

This little demon, though she wore a scholar’s robe, it was completely blank below, truly granting Zheng Yi the pleasure of his hands.

“Your Majesty~!”

Concubine Qing and Consort Miao also came closer, the two women were incredibly alluring, leaving Zheng Yi unable to keep up.

“Oh Your Majesty, what is that you have in your hand?”

With a glance, Zhuu Wanwan immediately spotted the wooden box in Zheng Yi’s hand and asked curiously.

“This…”

Zheng Yi smiled, “It’s a gift I specifically prepared for my beloved consorts.”

“A gift?”

The three women’s eyes lit up and reached out simultaneously, but Zheng Yi easily evaded them.

“You asked Cheng’en to summon me, saying you had a new dance to offer, let me admire my beloved consorts’ new dance~”

“Your Majesty~”

The three women giggled and quickly moved back.

In the middle, Zhuu Wanwan slightly swayed, causing her scholar robe to slip and reveal the underneath garment.

Her delicate body glowed moon-white under the dim light, revealing every detail.

The important parts of her body were covered in heavy silk, restrained yet mysterious, but still exuding a strong sense of allure.

Her arms and legs were bare, only covered by silk, tender like lotus roots.

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

The three women paused in confusion and looked at Zheng Yi, “Your Majesty?”

“I just remembered, there’s something in the gift that’s very suitable right now…”

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

The items were tubular and looked very much like silk but were black.

The three women took them, rubbed them carefully, and then foolishly exclaimed:

“The fabric is so smooth, it should be made from the finest silk…”

“And the needlework, it should be sewn by Nanny Changjin at the Shangyi Bureau, so intricate.”

“It feels so comfortable, but looking at it… seems like it’s meant to be worn on the legs?”

That’s right, the first gift Zheng Yi gave Zhuu Wanwan was… silk stockings!

To make silk stockings, he had searched for numerous people and materials, training for several months before finally sewing the first batch of black silk.

Black silk is justice!

Zheng Yi explained, “My beloved consorts, this item is called silk stockings, don’t underestimate it, it was ordered by me to be made with the finest silk, there are only thirty pairs in the entire harem.”

“Wearing this on the beautiful legs not only provides warmth but also beautifies the leg shape, tightens leg muscles, prevents varicose veins, and is cool and antibacterial…”

The three women looked foolishly at Zheng Yi, at this moment the Majesty seemed less like an Emperor, more like a small merchant hawking his wares.

Though they didn’t understand what Zheng Yi meant, they felt it was impressive.

“Ahem, ahem…”

Zheng Yi cleared his throat and said, “My beloved consorts, try them on quickly.”

“This…”

The three women hesitated for a moment, then Zhuu Wanwan suddenly giggled and said, “Your Majesty, the three of us don’t know how to do this, how about… Your Majesty teaches us?”

“This… might not be appropriate.”

Even as he said it wasn’t appropriate, Zheng Yi rubbed his hands and walked over to personally teach the three women how to put on stockings.

“Lift your leg, yes, yes, a slight curve.”

“Step on the stool, lift it slightly, put it on, yes! So smart!”

“Pull slowly, yes, yes… up, a little higher.”

“Your Majesty~”

“Ahem ahem…”

Zheng Yi cleared his throat tactically, “By the way, I also have gifts for you.”

As he spoke, he quickly fetched a small wooden box and took out a few items from it.

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

“These were made from white foxes hunted for me by the General of the Three Provinces, Miaoo Xiu, from Yongzhou. Warm in winter and cool in summer, with a unique appearance. My dear consorts, please wear them.”

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

“And these, they are white fox ears, ornaments specially made by me to be worn on your ears.”

“Your Majesty~!”

At this point, the three women finally realized, these weren’t gifts.

They were intended for intimate play!

Soon after Zheng Yi’s fiddling, three cute and alluring little foxes appeared before him.

Black stockings, animal ears, it would be perfect with a tail!

“My dear consorts, the night is short~”

“Your Majesty, my new dance~”

“What new dance, let’s discuss it later!”

“Oh, Your Majesty, let me first take off this white fox outfit…”

“No, no, I want the white fox~”

“Ah~”

“Your Majesty, I have something important to ask!”

“I promise, I promise! Turn around, don’t look back, yes, right, right~!”

Two hours later, after freshening up, Zheng Yi lay in the bedchamber of the Baihua Palace and contacted the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror.

[Absorbing Yin Qi, “Celestial Demon Scripture” Inner Strength +10.]

Among the three women, Zhuu Wanwan had a unique constitution, possessing the famous “Jade-faced White Tiger,” making Zheng Yi reluctant to leave.

After a night, he learned the Baihua Sect’s signature Martial Arts Cultivation Technique: “Celestial Demon Scripture.”

Unfortunately, this “Celestial Demon Scripture” was just an ordinary Martial Arts Cultivation Technique, and the absorbed technique was directly neutralized by the magical power within him.

There was another thing that made Zheng Yi regret.

Zhuu Wanwan, Lin Qing’er, and Rong Miao’er were all ordinary women. Although they were exceptionally beautiful, they had no Spirit Root.

Without Spirit Root, they couldn’t cultivate, which meant that these three women’s beauty would fade over time, and eventually, they would leave him.

It was foreseeable that a hundred years later, he would still be alive, while Zhuu Wanwan and the others would be gone with the wind.

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

Not just Zhuu Wanwan and the other two, but even Xu Qingluan, Lu Lin’er, Li Changle, Lan Lingrong, Jian Yu, and Bi He were only parts of his memories.

Such is the price of longevity.

What a pity.

If they had Spirit Roots, he really wouldn’t want to let go of these three beauties, who gave him unparalleled enjoyment.

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

The Baihua Sect, as a Martial Arts Sect, had one Grandmaster Realm Martial Artist.

Unfortunately, this Grandmaster Realm Martial Artist had been severely injured due to a conflict with other sects, and had now passed away.

And as a sect of entirely women, the Baihua Sect had long been coveted by numerous forces.

Their reason for entering the palace was to seek a way out for the Baihua Sect!

Looking across the entire world, only the Great Yu Imperial Family could be their greatest support.

After some consideration, Zheng Yi agreed to this matter.

In exchange, Zheng Yi required the brothels under Baihua Sect’s command to collaborate with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, providing intelligence for them.

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

Thinking of this, Zheng Yi shook his head.

If it weren’t for the three consorts, what would the Baihua Sect Leader amount to?!

“Zhuu Wanwan, Lin Qing’er, Rong Miao’er all lack Spirit Roots. I wonder if Qin Qingxuan from the Compassion Temple might have Spirit Roots?”

Zheng Yi suddenly thought that these Martial Arts women had all been left in the cold, with only Zhuu Wanwan and the others taking the initiative.

It seems it’s time to make a move on these women.

There was another matter.

Zheng Yi thought of the Tomb Raider Captains under his command.

The excavation of the Imperial Mausoleum has been ongoing for more than half a year, why is there still no progress?

He’s still waiting for the Cultivation Techniques within the Imperial Mausoleum!

The next day.

Zheng Yi ordered Liu Cheng’en to summon Hu Bafeng, who was in charge of constructing his Imperial Mausoleum.

“I greet Your Majesty!”

Hu Bafeng, dusty and traveled, bowed grandly, with a clump of dirt still stuck in his hair at the back.

Clearly, he had been working diligently before he came.

“Rise, my minister.”

Zheng Yi said, “How goes the construction of my tomb?”
