…
Cangbing Valley is only two or three hundred miles away from Fengxiang. If you ride a horse faster, you can get there in just half a day.
After Shen Ye and his party set out from the Cangbing Valley, the empress changed her procrastinating temper of the past few days and urged Shen Ye and others to speed up. She did not stop to rest on the way and went straight to Fengxiang.
At the same time, she also asked the two holy ladies Miaoxuan to hurry up and get back to Huanyinfang before them so that they could arrange a welcoming banquet.
In this way, before dark, the group arrived outside Fengxiang City of Qi State.
On the official road ten miles outside Fengxiang City, Jiu Tian Sheng Ji had already been waiting with the disciples of Huanyinfang. When they saw Shen Ye and his group riding horses into their sight, they all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Welcome the Queen, Master, back to the mansion."
Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took out a large bag of gold leaves that he had prepared long ago from the bag behind him and handed it to Miaocheng Tian who stood up to lead the horse:
"Miaocheng Tian, give these gold leaves to the sisters so that they can add some rouge and powder."
"I would like to thank you on behalf of my sisters." Miaocheng Tian bowed slightly, revealing a large area of snow-white skin on his chest, which attracted his attention.
The empress was right beside him. She didn't care that he was taking advantage of Miaocheng Tian, nor did she ask where he got the money from. She just said, "You are quite generous!"
"Your man is not short of money." Shen Ye patted his chest and said, "If you are short of money in the future, tell me. It is definitely not worse than the Longquan treasure."
"I don't want to spend your money." Although she said that, the look she gave Shen Ye became even gentler.
Afterwards, everyone abandoned their horses and boarded an absurdly large carriage pulled by eight horses. They headed for Huanyinfang, surrounded by the disciples of Huanyinfang...
"Good governance!"
Inside the carriage, Shen Ye lowered the carriage curtains and spoke to the empress who was leaning on the couch.
Huanyinfang is not in Fengxiang City, but he has to pass through Fengxiang City. Out of curiosity, he observed the situation in the city and found that the pedestrians on the street were all calm and smiling, without any sadness on their faces. It was obvious that they were living well under the rule of the empress.
The empress breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "It's not bad. The harvest in Qi has been good in recent years. At least there haven't been many people starving to death for a long time."
"That's pretty good too." Shen Ye nodded.
Lu Linxuan now knew that the empress was not only in charge of Huanyinfang, but also in charge of Qi State. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister, it must be very hard for you, right?"
The empress said calmly, "It's not that bad. I can usually leave some small things to my subordinates. It's not hard, but there's no one to talk to, so it's a little lonely."
As she said this, her eyes fell on Shen Ye.
"Otherwise, why would there be such a name as 'Gua Ren'?" Shen Ye naturally knew what she was thinking, and then said, "I will accompany you from now on."
"Um!"
As they chatted, the team soon passed through Fengxiang City and came to a complex of buildings built against the mountains and by the water.
"This is the headquarters of Huanyinfang. The scenery is pretty good, right?"
Several people got off the carriage, and Jiutian Shengji led them into Huanyinfang. Miaocheng Tian, who was leading the way, also introduced the layout of Huanyinfang.
Soon, everyone arrived inside Huanyinfang.
Because of running around these days, personal hygiene has been a big problem. Shen Ye is okay, he is a man, and when conditions were poor before, he didn't mind not taking a bath for ten days or half a month. But the empress and the others couldn't stand it anymore. Although it was time for dinner, they all wanted to take a bath and change clothes first, and then eat.
The hot water had already been prepared by Miaocheng Tian who had returned early, so the three daughters of the empress went to the bathroom where the empress bathed, while Shen Ye was taken alone by Miaocheng Tian and Xuan Jingtian to another bathroom to take a bath.
At the bathroom door, Miaocheng Tian said to Shen Ye, "Son-in-law, please go in and sit for a while. My sister and I will prepare hot water and clothes for you."
Shen Ye nodded, then pushed open the bathroom door and walked in.
However, although it is called a bathroom, the layout inside is similar to that of an ordinary room, with plenty of tables, chairs, and beds, except that behind the screen at the main door there is an oval wooden barrel that can accommodate two or three people bathing at the same time.
Shen Ye didn't think much about it. After looking at the wooden barrel with interest for a while, he sat on a chair beside and waited.
Not long after, Miaocheng Tian and Xuanjing Tian came in with a group of female disciples from Huanyinfang carrying wooden barrels and other items.
Afterwards, the female disciple carrying the wooden barrel added hot and cold water into the barrel. When the barrel was full, another female disciple sprinkled a handful of dried flower petals into the barrel. Stimulated by the water temperature, the room was immediately filled with intoxicating floral fragrance.
After they finished doing this, Xuanjing Tian drove away all the women in the room and closed the door.
After testing the water temperature in the wooden barrel with his hand, Miaocheng Tian walked to Shen Ye's side and said to him, "Sir, I will help you change your clothes."
Now Shen Ye is no longer the pure self he used to be, and when he was at home, the twin sisters often helped him take a bath. He stood up naturally and let Miaocheng Tian and Xuanjing Tian who came after closing the door take off his clothes.
Soon, he was stripped down to a pair of boxer shorts with a Pikachu pattern on them.
"The style of your underwear is quite interesting, Master." Miaocheng Tian looked at his lower body without any hesitation, and then reached out to pull off his last pair of underwear.
"No, I'll take off my underwear myself." Shen Ye quickly pulled his underwear tightly.
Xuanjing Tian covered his mouth and laughed, "Sister, my son-in-law is shy again."
"No way, I'm just not used to walking around naked in front of other people." How could he be shy? He was no longer a virgin. It was just that little bit of shame that was playing tricks on him.
As he said that, he walked to the wooden barrel, took off his underwear with his back turned, and then stepped into the barrel. The comfortable water temperature made him breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the sound of bare feet walking on the floor came from behind him, but Shen Ye did not turn back to look. It was just Miaocheng Tian and Xuanjing Tian coming to help him scrub his body and massage him.
But after waiting for a while, there was no movement from the two of them, but instead I heard the rustling sound of someone taking off clothes.
He was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to turn around, two naked bodies stepped into the barrel, one on the left and one on the right. The unconcealed leg-lifting movements made him see a scene that he had not seen for a long time.
"Master, do you want us to wash your front or back first?" Xuanjing Tian said as he leaned into his arms from the left side.
Without waiting for his answer, Miaocheng Tian on the other side slid his fingers down from his chest and said seductively: "Or, wash the top or the bottom first?"
"Cough... I'm fine with anything." Shen Ye coughed lightly, then closed his eyes and let them do whatever they wanted.
