Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 399 Tang Chi Noodles
Zhao Mu got into his car and soon arrived at the palace.

When Zhao Mu arrived in front of the Meridian Gate, the eunuch beside Zhe Zong was already waiting there.

Seeing Zhao Mu arriving, the eunuch also rushed to greet him.

The eunuch said: "Your Majesty, King Qi, your Majesty has prepared a banquet in the harem and ordered the old slave to make a special trip to wait for the prince."

Zhao Mu was a little surprised when he heard this. On weekdays, Zhezong usually summoned him in the imperial study room or in the imperial garden. Why are you in the harem today?
But Zhao Mu didn't think much about it. Zhe Zong was the emperor, so he could summon him wherever he liked. But Zhao Mu also wanted to visit the emperor's harem.

Although the entire palace is not small, it is not too big either. Zhao Mu has been to most places in the palace. But the only place I haven't been to is the harem of the palace.

After all, apart from the emperor himself, the only men who could enter such a place were eunuchs who were not considered men. If, as a foreign minister, he entered the harem without being summoned, it would not be as simple as being disrespectful. He might even be charged with the crime of causing chaos in the palace.

Now that Zhe Zong had called him in for a walk, Zhao Mu's curiosity was satisfied.

Soon the eunuch took Zhao Mujin into the harem.

Although the architecture of the harem is not as spacious and luxurious as the front hall, it is still beautifully carved and painted.

Zhao Mu also attracted a lot of attention from palace maids and eunuchs along the way. After all, in this dynasty, His Highness King Qi was the first man to enter the harem besides the emperor and the imperial doctor. They feel novel and normal.

The eunuch asked Zhao Mu to wait here, and he entered the door. He came out again after a while.

Although Zhao Mu also had plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos, chrysanthemums, autumn frost, and winter snow waiting for him to bathe and change clothes at home, Zhao Mu did not let them dress like this.

When Zhao Mu disguised himself as a palace maid in Xixia Kingdom to spy, he also served Xixia's noble concubines to bathe. And he wasn't dressed like this.

This should be the palace's soup pool, and Zhe Zong should be bathing in it. This kind of place also exists in his Prince Qi's mansion. It's just that due to etiquette, it's not as big as Zhezong's.

The two of them were naked, just wearing an almost transparent gauze dress. And because of the hazy smoke and water in the hot spring room, the gauze still clung tightly to their bodies.

Zhao Mu slowly walked into the small courtyard, facing a three-story attic. This building is not very tall within the palace.

The eunuch stopped in front of the door and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is waiting for Your Majesty in the pavilion! Your Majesty, please!"

But looking here, Zhao Mu felt a little timid for some reason. Although he knew that he was overthinking it, looking at the scene in front of him, he made up his mind to capture Han Xin.

Looking at the steaming white mist, Zhao Mu seemed to understand what Zhe Zong was doing here.

Zhao Mu didn't know where this place was, but the Emperor Luan was here and there were many female servants guarding the place.

After Zhao Mu entered the door, two palace ladies wearing tulle came to Zhao Mu.

Not long after, the eunuch took Zhao Mu to a small courtyard in the harem.

As the door opened, Zhao Mu felt a rush of hot air blowing towards his face.

When Zhao Mu approached the attic, the two maids guarding the door opened the door to the attic for Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu now has some changes in his opinion of Zhe Zong, but he did not expect that his Majesty is usually very secretive. This is more fun than I can do in private.

Zhao Mu also felt a little emotional. Zhe Zong really didn't regard himself as an outsider. Is this something he, a foreign minister, could see?
After all, Zhao Mu was a foreign minister, and the women in the palace, except for the queen mother, were the emperor's private property. It seemed disrespectful for him to look directly at these maids in gauze.

So he quickly turned around, with his back to the two of them, and said, "Where is Your Majesty?" Seeing Zhao Mu's reaction, the two palace maids also looked at each other and smiled. One of them said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, His Majesty is being warmed up in the pool. "Your Majesty has a decree. Please take off your clothes and stay warm with your Majesty."

At this time, Zhe Zong's voice came from inside: "Has your uncle arrived already?"

Zhao Mu replied: "Report to your Majesty, I am here!"

Zhe Zong said: "Uncle, there is no need to be cautious. I have been very tired from the Song Dynasty to Dali and then to the Xixia Kingdom. The water in the soup pool today is really good. Come and have fun with me, uncle!"

Zhao Mu replied: "I obey the decree!"

After Zhao Mu received Zhezong's personal approval, he no longer hesitated. So they spread their hands, and the two palace maids began to undress Zhao Mu.

And these two palace maids also had ulterior motives. When they were undressing Zhao Mu, they would always rub their bodies against Zhao Mu from time to time, as if they were deliberately teasing and tempting him.

However, although Zhao Mu was furious, this was within the palace. He still needed to restrain himself, so he used his inner strength to suppress his anxiety.

After undressing, the two palace ladies took Zhao Mu into the bathing room.

When Zhao Mu came in, he was stunned.

There were twenty or thirty graceful young women standing inside. They are all dressed up like these two palace ladies. The restlessness that Zhao Mu had just suppressed became unbearable again.

There are five independent soup pools in this bathroom, with the largest one in the middle and four smaller ones around it. Zhe Zong was currently soaking in the largest pool.

Zhezong was seen soaking in the hot spring pool, with five palace maids serving him closely. Four of them were also immersed in the pool water. They helped Zhe Zong clean his body and massage his limbs. The last person was on the shore, massaging Zhe Zong's head.

Although the scene is very exciting, this gift cannot be discarded.

When Zhao Mu saw Zhe Zong, he quickly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Mu, is here to see you!"

Zhe Zong opened his eyes and saw Zhao Mu, who looked a little embarrassed and uneasy. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha, the emperor is also a seasoned man among flowers. Why are you so reserved today?"

Zhao Mu replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the women in the palace are all His Majesty's people, minister."

Before Zhao Mu finished speaking, Zhe Zong waved his hand and said: "Alas! You and I, the monarch and my ministers, are of the same mind, so we won't talk about these red tapes. They are just palace servants in the palace, not my concubines. The emperor does not need to be so formal. ! Come on! Let His Majesty Qi take a bath!"

After receiving Zhezong's order, several palace maids gathered around Zhao Mu and came to the edge of a hot spring. Then the four of them also pulled Zhao Mu into it. Then the four of them cleaned and massaged Zhao Mu with their slender hands just like Zhe Zong. The palace maid on the shore was washing Zhao Mu's hair.

Zhe Zong let out a sigh of relief at this time, and asked: "How does the emperor feel?"

Zhao Mu was a little tired from traveling for days, and now he felt very refreshed after taking a hot bath. He replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Zhe Zong looked at Zhao Mu in the side pool and smiled.

As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Zhe Zong entertained Zhao Mu with such a grand gift, so naturally he had something to ask.

Zhe Zong asked: "By the way, my uncle, I wonder what good news he brought to me when he returned from a long trip?"
