The King's edicts were always very concise and to the point, and rarely did he use those kinds of magnificent words and phrases.
"Summon Søren to come to the palace at 2: 15 p.m. tomorrow to receive the Noble Warrior Medal!"
Soran was not surprised to hear that it was a quarter past two, because the last time traveler, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, introduced all the units of time and distance into this world.
"As you wish." Søren kowtowed to receive the edict.
The King's edict only mentioned the Noble Warrior Medal, but did not mention the title of the Earl of Tianshui or the Lord of Tianshui City. However, according to the rules, the Noble Warrior Medal had to be awarded first before inheriting the title.
The middle-aged eunuch who sent the invitation to Prince Zhi Li first looked at Søren's eyes. Seeing that he had regained his eyesight, he was only a little surprised.
"His Highness invites Young Master Søren to the Young Lord's Residence for a talk." The middle-aged eunuch handed over a bamboo invitation.
Søren took it and immediately returned it. This was the etiquette of the nobles. A bamboo invitation with a higher status than yours could not be accepted. Therefore, Feng Li's invitation card had been polished until it was as smooth as a mirror.
Speaking of which, Zhi Li was quite a character. With his status, he did not use gold or white jade, but a bamboo invitation.
"As you wish." Although Søren was not ready to meet Zhi Li, he could not refuse this invitation.
"Then I will wait here. When Young Master Søren is ready, please let me know." The middle-aged eunuch sat down. Although Suo Ningbing looked cold, she still served tea.
Next, Suo Ningbing personally served the bath water for Søren.
Seeing Suo Ningbing roll up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white arms, and pick up a soft towel, Søren was stunned, "Sister, what are you doing?"
"To bathe you," Suo Ningbing said.
"This, this is not necessary." Søren was shocked. When he was on Earth, it was his sister who bathed him before he was ten years old. After that, he was too embarrassed to do it himself.
"Now you know how to be embarrassed. Where did you get the courage just now?" Suo Ningbing rolled her eyes at Søren and said softly, "You're a man. It's not easy for you to wash your hair and scrub your back. I don't want other maids to help you."
These words caused Søren's mind to waver. She did not want the other maids to wash Søren's hair and back, which meant that she was already jealous.
"Alright, take off your clothes and enter the bathtub," Ning Bing said. Then, she turned her back.
Then, in this awkward and charming atmosphere, Søren quickly stripped and entered the bathtub naked.
There was milk in the bathtub, and it was steaming hot, so he could not see anything underwater. He felt a lot more at ease.
Suo Ningbing blushed and stepped forward. She took out a bottle of essential oil and a piece of honey locust. She applied them on Søren's hair, and then carefully washed his hair. Her soft little hands gently massaged Søren's scalp. This feeling really made him feel like he was walking on clouds.
After massaging his scalp, she dried her little hands and gently massaged Søren's eyes. She said softly, "Now, are you completely healed?"
"Yes." Søren said. In fact, he was not completely healed. There was still a faint dark red color when he looked at things, as if there was a layer of filter.
Eros said that this was because he released the Spiritual Kingdom during the last major exam, which caused damage to his optic nerves. It would take some time for him to recover.
After washing Søren's hair carefully and wiping his back, Suo Ningbing went out and asked him to put on his underwear. Then, she brought in a brocade robe and personally helped Søren change into it.
An hour later, Søren followed the eunuch to Zhi Li's residence.
…
An hour later, Søren entered Zhi Li's residence.
The residence was not big, nor was it luxurious. Instead, it looked very solemn and was generally decorated in gray.
"Your Highness, Young Master Søren is here," the middle-aged eunuch said when they came to a door.
"Come in, come in …" Zhi Li's voice came from inside. It was very hearty and heroic.
Then, the door opened. A young man in his thirties came up and held Søren's hand. "Come, come, come. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Then, Zhi Li looked into Søren's eyes and said, "Your eyes have regained their light? That's good. I feel much more at ease now. "
Solon was taken aback by his enthusiasm. The image of Ye Zichen in front of him was really beyond his expectations.
His hair was simply tied up with a bamboo hairpin.
He was dressed casually in a loose hemp robe, and he was barefooted.
He was not very handsome, at least not as pretty as a gigolo like Søren. However, his face was full of flavor. It was unruly, intelligent, and at the same time, there was also a hint of evil.
In particular, his nose was very long. After looking at it, people would instinctively feel a little afraid of him.
This was Prince Zhi Li, the future king of the entire Raging Wave Kingdom.
"Søren, Zhi Ning has never lost before. This time, you made her suffer a crushing defeat. She vomited blood twice in a row." Zhi Li said, "She is my most beloved sister. What do you think I should do?"
Søren thought for a while and said, "She is the same as me. We are both sore losers."
When these words came out, Zhi Li was stunned. Most men were not willing to admit that they were sore losers. They all thought that they were broad-minded.
"Come, sit down and have a meal with me." Zhi Li sat cross-legged in front of a table and said, "Don't worry. I definitely won't use poison. That girl Zhi Ning's methods are more sinister, but she is a woman and it doesn't matter. As a young emperor, I can't do such things. "
Søren sat in front of the table opposite him. There were four simple dishes in front of him. Two meat and two vegetables. They were very exquisite.
Søren could tell at a glance that this dish was equivalent to a month's rations for the commoners outside.
This Zhi Li was dressed simply. He even used a bamboo hairpin in his hair. However, he was very particular about his food. It could even be considered luxurious.
"I don't reject luxuries. I just hate things like gold, white jade, and silk. It's tacky." Zhi Li said.
After eating a mouthful of food and drinking a mouthful of wine, he looked at Søren and said, "You know, we are very similar in one way. Do you know what it is?"
Søren shook his head and said, "Say it."
"We are both veterans in the field of women. You are a veteran. I heard that you have more than a hundred girlfriends." Feng Li said, "As for me, the number of wives I've had is no less than a hundred. The two of us have slept with the most noble ladies."
At that moment, Søren was drinking. When he heard this, he almost spat it out.
This Zhi Li really didn't regard himself as an outsider. His words were so direct. However, it didn't seem like it was worth showing off.
Then, Zhi Li clapped his hands and said, "Come in."
Immediately, two beauties walked in leisurely. One was older and one was younger. The younger one was graceful and charming. The older one was plump and attractive. She was as mature as a peach. She was dignified and elegant. Her eyes occasionally shone with shyness.
"Guess who these two women are?" Zhi Li said.
Søren thought for a while and vaguely had an answer. However, he shook his head.
"Don't hide in front of me. You must have guessed it. If I want to entertain you, I will definitely choose the wife of the person you hate the most." Zhi Li said, "The man you hate the most is me. However, I can't bear to let anyone taint my wife. So, I went for the second best. I called Jian Ning and Jian Yong's women here. "
Then, Zhi Li pointed at the young and charming woman and said, "She comes from a humble family. Her name is Wu Xiuxiu. She is Jian Ning's mistress. She is 25 years old this year. Of course, you also know that Jian Ning and Niya's marriage is only in name. So, Wu Xiuxiu is Jian Ning's wife. She even has a son.
"And this mature and plump one is Wu Qianyu. She is Marquis Jian Yong's side wife. She is 38 years old this year." Zhi Li said, "Of course, if you want to take revenge on Jian Ning and Jian Yong, it would be better to ask Jian Yong's wife to come. However, Jian Yong's wife is already in her fifties. I don't think your taste is that bad. So, I asked his most beloved side wife to come. "
Then, Zhi Li stood up excitedly and pointed at the two beauties. "Come on, Søren. Don't be shy. Pick one of them. I will use the rest of them. And I promise that I haven't touched either of them yet. "
At this moment, Søren's heart was really breaking down.
This, this Prince Zhi Li is really not treating me as an outsider. He actually wants to play with women with me, and they are the wives of his henchmen.
I have long heard about this hobby of his, but I didn't expect it to be so true.
As for Jian Ning and Jian Yong, he could only admire them from the bottom of his heart. He was actually willing to wear such a green hat.
"Come on, don't be shy. Pick one, pick one." Zhi Li said.
Søren was stunned. Then, he pointed at the mature and charming Wu Qianyu, Marquis Jian Yong's side wife.
"You know how to have fun." Zhi Li gave a thumbs up. Then, he waved at Wu Xiuxiu. "Come here."
Jian Ning's concubine, Wu Xiuxiu, walked to Zhi Li's side. She gently picked up the wine pot and poured wine for Zhi Li.
And Zhi Li's big hand immediately reached into her chest and then under her skirt. Then, he nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. Jian Ning is so lucky."
Wu Xiuxiu's delicate body trembled. She almost couldn't sit still.
At this moment, the fragrant and plump Wu Qianyu walked to Søren's side and knelt down. She picked up the wine pot and poured wine for him.
Seeing Søren sitting like a gentleman, Zhi Li frowned and said, "Søren, don't be shy. You can't let go and make me feel awkward."
"You can have fun. I … I have been restraining myself recently." Søren said.
Zhi Li frowned in disappointment. He took his hand out from under Wu Xiuxiu's skirt and then casually wiped it on her skirt. Then, he got down to business and said, "Tomorrow, His Majesty the King summons you to the palace. He will award you the Noble Warrior Medal."
"I have received the decree." Søren said and then waited for the next part.
Zhi Li said, "If there is no accident, you will soon inherit the title of Earl of Tianshui and the position of Lord of Tianshui City."
Søren said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the King."
Zhi Li said, "Let's discuss one thing. After you become the Lord of Tianshui City, don't go to the territory. Lend me the territory of Tianshui City for 20 years. I will build it into a fortress to attack the Southern Wilderness Plain. After I conquer the Southern Wilderness Plain, I will return Tianshui City to you. "
Søren frowned and did not answer. He refused with silence.
Zhi Li said, "In exchange, I invite you to be my future prime minister and brother-in-law. How about it?"
Søren was shocked when he heard this.
Zhi Li said, "You have been crazy about Zhi Ning, right? I will marry her to you and we will be in-laws. Then, you will assist me and become my future prime minister. Then, lend me Tianshui City for 20 years. Isn't that good? "
