After hearing Caretaker Shi's explanation, Ren Baqian immediately understood.
Occupation: Empress. Strength: Seventh in the world. Wealth: Owns an entire nation. Appearance: Fair skin, beautiful and alluring. Such a person, no matter where she was placed, would be a proper fair, rich, and beautiful lady among fair, rich, and beautiful ladies.
It was very normal for people to have designs on the empress.
Therefore, every time the empress celebrated her birthday, there would be many rich and powerful people from the other three nations rushing to Dayao. Every one of them was like livestock in heat, trying to get the empress's attention.
This was the only time they could come into contact with the empress.
Ren Baqian also understood why the empress asked him to help with the reception. After all, these people were here to deliver gifts. She couldn't possibly let them stay in an inn by themselves. She had to make some arrangements as the empress still wanted to save face.
However, even though this group of people were here to deliver gifts, some of them definitely annoyed the empress. She had been wanting to slap them for a long time. For some reason, she didn't say much about this matter, so she skipped a sentence.
However, her meaning was clear. No matter what, they couldn't embarrass Dayao.
This sentence was more particular. How was this considered embarrassing Dayao?
If the aboriginals were to do this, they would probably talk about how big their fists were when they were talking about poems and songs. When they were talking about romance, they would compare whose legs were thicker?
After all, it was the empress's birthday celebration. They couldn't possibly be bruised and swollen.
Therefore, a "talent" like him who suddenly appeared in front of the empress was used as a substitute. She didn't care how good he was.
In any case, it was like this every year. No matter how bad he was, he wouldn't be worse than the previous years. Therefore, he simply put himself on the stage.
Thinking about the people who might come, he reckoned that they were the elites of the younger generation. Those who weren't confident would definitely not come. The empress actually asked him to suppress these people?
Ren Baqian felt that it would be good if he wasn't suppressed by them.
If he was not careful, he would become a prop or a stepping stone for them to show off.
In an instant, Ren Baqian felt unwell.
Thinking about the empress's words, Ren Baqian felt that if he really became a stepping stone, the empress would make him a stepping stone for the rest of his life.
Thinking about that …
"Damn it, I will fight it out with them." Ren Baqian's face was full of murderous intent.
"What are we fighting for?" Caretaker Shi raised his head blankly.
"When is Her Majesty's birthday celebration?" Ren Baqian asked.
"There's still one more month, probably?" Caretaker Shi replied uncertainly. "Why did His Majesty mention this to you today?"
"Her Majesty asked me to accompany her and receive her," Ren Baqian said with a face full of resentment.
"Haha, let's welcome them then. Anyway, we just have to arrange a place for them to stay when they arrive," Caretaker Shi said nonchalantly.
"Her Majesty also said that we can't disgrace Dayao." Ren Baqian continued to look resentful.
"Isn't that simple? Beat up anyone who was dissatisfied with you. Beat up anyone who didn't like you. Beat up anyone who didn't like you. Just beat them up until they can't open their mouths. "Caretaker Shi laughed heartily.
Ren Baqian sighed faintly. This was indeed the style of the aboriginals.
Needless to say, he might really have to bring along two thugs when the time comes. In this world, aboriginals weren't the only ones who could fight. If that Long Wanli didn't challenge the empress that day, he reckoned that he could do whatever he wanted.
Ren Baqian greeted Caretaker Shi and returned to his room. The two little chaps were hugging each other and sleeping soundly at the door. Ren Baqian dove into his bed and started to ponder.
Let's not talk about the background of the people who came this time. In any case, no matter how awesome they were, they definitely wouldn't be as awesome as Her Majesty.
According to their individual standards, they could be divided into those who were outstanding in martial arts, literary talent, eloquence, and appearance.
Those who were outstanding in martial arts seemed to be unpresentable. In any case, no matter how formidable they were, they wouldn't be as formidable as Her Majesty. In the entire world, there were only six people who were more formidable than her. He reckoned that these people wouldn't come. After all, experts had to maintain their status. It was even more impossible for them to think of robbing the cradle, right?
As for those who were outstanding in literary talent, Her Majesty had specially mentioned poetry and songs previously. Judging from the empress's words, the empress probably wanted him to suppress these people.
There weren't many cultured people in Dayao. Furthermore, this bunch of people still came over every year to show off their literary talent. The empress was probably already very annoyed.
Ren Baqian thought that if a certain master's or PhD student came to his place every day to brag about their fields of expertise, his heart definitely wouldn't be filled with endless admiration like a torrential river. Instead, he would want to slap their faces with the soles of his shoes.
He reckoned that the empress had this kind of feeling.
What was that saying again? When the monarch worries, his subjects worry. When the monarch is humiliated, his subjects die. Even though he was a successor to socialism in the 21st century, his immediate superior was the empress. If the empress wanted to slap their faces with the soles of her shoes, he would be the vanguard.
After thinking it through, Ren Baqian more or less had some confidence in himself.
Even though the people he would be facing might be elites from various clans in other countries, he was still a university graduate. He couldn't possibly be inferior to a few elites from a feudal society.
Hmm, there was still some time left. Next time, he would go back and memorize 300 Tang and Song poems. He didn't believe that the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients couldn't defeat a few elites from a few clans. Even though he could also make their eyeballs pop out of their sockets when he competed with them in mathematics, the final result would probably be like a chicken talking to a duck. There wasn't much meaning to it.
The next day, Ren Baqian arrived at Qingxin Palace Hall. After seeing Lin Qiaole, he had a look of hidden bitterness on his face. He was wondering if he should bring her poop flavored chocolate or chocolate-flavored poop next time.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Qiaole asked unnaturally when she saw Ren Baqian's resentful gaze.
Ren Baqian thought for a while and didn't say anything. After all, as a man, he couldn't be calculative with a little girl. It would give people the impression that he was narrow-minded.
Even though he was indeed narrow-minded.
He decided to bring her chocolate-flavored poop.
The other party wasn't a fool. She probably wouldn't eat poop flavored chocolate.
"Let's continue." Ren Baqian pulled a stool over and sat directly opposite her. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Lin Qiaole heaved a sigh of relief. She was still a little nervous just now. Even though she felt that this feeling was very baffling.
Ren Baqian spent the entire afternoon learning a few dozen words. At the end of the lesson, he also reviewed what he learned yesterday. Seeing that he hadn't forgotten anything, Ren Baqian immediately felt very satisfied.
At night, he went to the palace to tell a story as usual. At the same time, he gave the empress a bag of White Rabbit Creamy Candy. This made the empress rather satisfied. She felt that Ren Baqian was rather tactful and found him increasingly pleasing to the eye.
It wouldn't be a problem for a bunch of burly men in the imperial court to lead troops into battle. However, it would be difficult for them to be tactful and tactful.
Following the birth of Nezha, the evisceration of his father, the lotus incarnation, Jiang Ziya's descent from the mountain, and the burning of the pipa spirit, the story became more and more exciting.
Even the empress rarely interrupted him. Instead, she concentrated on listening to the story. From time to time, she would put a piece of White Rabbit Creamy Candy in her mouth.
One person told the story while the other three listened. Sometimes, the fire in the palace flickered due to the wind.
Ren Baqian suddenly felt that this kind of atmosphere was a little suitable for telling a ghost story.
However, when he thought about the empress's fighting strength, Ren Baqian felt that it was better to forget this idea as soon as possible.
If other women were to listen to a ghost story, they might become a helpless little bird. If the empress wasn't afraid while listening to a ghost story, it would be fine. If she was really afraid, she would give him a slap. Next year, today would be his death anniversary.
That night, the story of the Investiture of the Gods was told a little later than usual. Since the empress didn't say anything, Ren Baqian told it all the way until Bo Yikao went to Zhaoge to pay tribute and was sent to prison. Only then was he released by the empress.
The next morning, Ren Baqian dragged Teng Hulu and Tie Dao out for a walk. After returning home tonight, it would be Chen Qing's engagement day. He wanted to see if there were any good things to buy as a gift.
Although he already knew that Dayao was lacking in supplies, after visiting a few shops on Jingyang Street, he realized that it was far more lacking than he thought.
Most of the things sold in the shops were refined rice, refined flour, wine, salt, cloth, and other necessities. Furthermore, the prices weren't low.
There were also a few shops that sold brightly colored cloth, silk satin, exquisite porcelain, and the like. The prices could make Ren Baqian spurt blood.
Originally, Ren Baqian wanted to choose a gift for Chen Qing here. In the end, after walking around for a long time, he still couldn't find anything suitable.
