Chapter 361 An Emperor’s Duty

Chapter 361 – An Emperor's Duty

In Ye City, the previous government meeting hall had transformed into a throne room and a palace.

In front of the throne room, a star altar with a bronze 3-meter cauldron, filled with riches and incense sticks, each with the size of a man's arm.

Pig heads, roasted ducks, boiled chickens, fruits, wines, fishes, dumplings, rice cakes, noodles, and many other delicacies lined on the altar.

Tong, donned in golden dragon clothing, bowed to heaven with incense sticks in his hands.

Xun Yu did his stuff, reciting words in the scroll in his hands, worshiping the heaven and earth.

Tong got stuck in the ceremony, bowing to gates which the locals believed they were gates of Heavenly Peace and Meridian for half a day.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

In the late afternoon, all traditional heaven worshiping ended, and Tong could sit after a long while. He leaned on the throne, which was made out of pure jade and jewels.

As there was not enough cushion, Tong groaned from the hardness of the seat.

'I'm going to get hemorrhoid at this rate. Oh, wait, my demonic body skill is still on me. I can't get sick.'

With worn-out legs and mental exhaustion, Tong did not pay attention to anyone in the throne room, letting Xun Yu doing all the works.

Currently, a banquet celebration was still ongoing within the throne room. Twenty dancers with skimpy red clothes waved their hands around, moving in synchronization. High ranking officials only presented in the hall, watching the dancers as they enjoyed wine and food on their private table.

The dancing session ended, and new performers entered. They were another group of dancing girls. Meanwhile, the previous dancers changed their roles, transiting into maids. Each of lecherous old men invited one of the dancers to their side, becoming their private maid. Soon, these dancers might end up becoming their new concubines.

Xun Yu also invited the leading dancer to Tong's side, hoping to make her Tong's concubine as well.

The girl was the most beautiful among the tropes, which made many old officials drool just by looking at her smooth skins and a perfect S body shape.

"Your majesty, having only one prince is bad for the dynasty. You will need to produce more prince and princesses to stabilize the kingdom. I hope that you won't reject this."

Tong looked around to observe the people's reaction. Fortunately, Friday and Medusa left with their army and did not attend the coronation ceremony today. Or else, there might be a bloodbath.

All attendants around Tong gazed at him with expectation. At the moment, Dong Bai had not entitled as Tong's empress yet as she was too young, so they were hoping that Tong would choose a new empress soon.

With a bitter smile, Tong invited the young dancer to his side.

Without a conversation lead, Tong turned to her, "What's your name?"

"My lowly self is surnamed Du. Your majesty can name me to your liking."

"Huh? Du surname?"

"Is there something wrong with my surname, your majesty?"

Tong's smile cramped. He inspected the face of this Du girl. Upon the closer look, her beauty was no less than Hua Shi or Xiao Wu. Also, her clean smooth body, her manner, and her body movement management revealed that she was from a noble family.

'I have heard of this surname before. Where had I heard it?'

As Tong could not recall an influential person in this era with the surname [Du], Tong planned to dig into her background.

"Where are you from, lady Du?"

"My lowly self is from Bing Province, your majesty."

"I'm sorry that my next question might be rude. Did your father try to give you to another man recently?"

The dancer took her time to think, which she nodded.

"There was someone who asked me for marriage. But because of the invasion from the previous emperor Liu Ping, my wedding was canceled, and my fiancé returned into Xiongnu's territory."

Tong squinted his eyes when she mentioned "Xiongnu."

'Bing Province, Xiongnu. Is there a historical figure that I forgot in that territory?'

Tong sighed and continued his questioning without thinking.

"What was your fiancé name, if I may ask?"

"Qin Yilu, your majesty."

'Qin Yilu … Qin Yilu!? Lady Du!? Du Shi!?'

Tong remembered this girl now. Historically, she was a wife of Qin Yilu.

.

Du Shi was known for her beauty, and she was the mother of Qin Lang, a future general under the Wei Kingdom.

Qin Yilu, Du Shi's husband, served under Lu Bu after he had joined forces with Dong Zhuo. In 192, he disguised as Dong Zhuo's guard, which he participated in the Dong Zhou's assassination. He and Du Shi followed after Lu Bu, and they ended up in Xiapi.

When Xiapi fell to Cao Cao in 198, Qin Yilu was not with his wife as he rushed to Yuan Shu in Shouchun to request for the reinforcement.

Guan Yu, who joined Cao Cao along with Liu Bei at that time, begged Cao Cao to give Du Shi to him. Curious why this stern general wanted this woman so badly, Cao Cao visited Du Shi himself. Upon seeing her beauty, Cao Cao took her in as his concubine and refused to give her to Guan Yu.

Qin Lang, Du Shi's son, became Cao Cao adopted son after the event. Because of her beauty, Du Shi gave birth to two Cao Cao's sons and a daughter.

As for Du Shi's husband, he was killed by Zhang Fei during the time Liu Bei rebelled against Cao Cao and stole the Xu Province.

.

Tong had to wipe the sweat on his face as fate pranked him too often.

'The mourning period for Hua Shi and He Xing hasn't ended, and a pretty girl that smitten Guan Yu is presenting herself to me on a silver plate!? What absurd luck.'

Lady Du, who was observing Tong from the side, took out her handkerchief and wiped Tong sweat.

"Is the weather too warm for you, your majesty? Should I ask the maid for cold towels?"

With a stiff smile, Tong nodded. Du Shi stood and left, calling the servants to get cold towels for Tong.

While she was at it, Tong used this chance to text Friday. As he did not want to get castrated by her again, he requested for Friday's permission.

Tong: "Friday, I need your permission."

Dong Bai: "For what? Is there something happening?"

Tong: "Yes. My subordinates have requested me to take in concubines. That's why I need to tell this to you first."

Dong Bai: "…"

Friday did not answer or text back to Tong for several minutes.

Du Shi came back with a bucket of cold water and cold towels. She became wiping Tong's face and cleaned his sweating arms.

All officials watched Tong and Du Shi with a wide grin. Once Tong started taking in the first concubine, they would have a chance to offer their daughters, granddaughters, or their beautiful relatives to Tong in the future. If they were lucky, one of their relatives might ascend to the throne as the next empress, and their status would rise as a result.

Only a few officers did not dare to make such a move. They were the people who had been enlisted into the clan chat.

Xun Yu read the clan chat with sweat on his face. He understood about the positions of Dong Bai and Diaochan. On the surface, Tong was their King. In reality, Dong Bai and Diaochan's standing was higher than Tong.

If they did not give Tong the permission, the future of the Han Dynasty might be bleak.

>

With a sound of clan message alert, Xun Yu gulped as he prayed that they would allow Tong to have concubines.

Dong Bai: "I have to be the empress. The rest of the girls can do whatever they want, but they can't take this position."

Tong was surprised by Friday's change of heart. Had it been before, she would have cursed and killed him on the spot.

Diaochan: "Friday can't marry you yet because of her age. Once she's 16 or 18, make sure to come and take her back with you. She doesn't suit to be a grand commander of an army for a long time."

Tong: "I know. Friday, I'm really sorry."

Dong Bai: "It's fine. You'll be with me forever after this life is over, so I don't mind."

Dong Bai: "But I have a condition."

Tong: "What is it?"

Dong Bai: "You have to take my mother in as your concubine as well."

Tong also spat blood when he saw the messages.

'What had she eaten!? Why did she offering her mother to me!?'

Tong: "Friday, WTF!?"

Dong Bai: "My mom is using Diaochan's body. If you don't take her in, she will end up becoming someone's wife because of that greedy Wang Yun!"

Tong: "What about her opinion!?"

Diaochan: "I don't mind. It's just a relationship in-name."

Tong: "Will you be in danger if you're single?"

Diaochan: "Obviously. Wang Yun is planning to give me to Liu Xie. Do you want your mother-in-law to marry your adopted son?"

Tong: "WTF!? That will be too awkward!"

Diaochan: "Then, let me hide in your inner palace. I'll be the head concubine in your harem, and I'll help you manage the girls for you. This will unload a burden on your shoulders."

Tong: "…"

Diaochan: "Do you mind having me in your harem?"

Tong: "… No."

Friday: "Good. It's settled. I'll be your empress while my mother will manage your concubines and your future harem!"

Tong's sweat intensified. Although the situation favored him at first glance, he had a bad omen. Having a mother-in-law living together with his concubines might give Tong pressure.

The mother and daughter might control his bed activities in the future. Also, all girls in the harem would become Diaochan's subordinates by default.

'Ugh. I have a headache. It's good that I throw away the unlimited yang seed skill away, or I might not be getting any sleep when Friday returns.'

By instinct, Tong glanced at Du Shi in the skimpy red cloth. As a man, it would be a lie that he did not have a hidden desire.

'It had been a while. Please forgive me, Hua Shi, He Xing, Friday.'

.

After the banquet, Tong invited Du Shi into his chamber.

Although Tong did not have the infinite yang seed skill anymore, his natural stamina was higher than ordinary humans by miles. As a result, Du Shi only managed to fall asleep when Tong ran out of his stamina at 3 AM.

She smiled in her sleep cuddling with Tong till the morning. She felt more secure about her future as she found a reliable husband today.

Du Shi officially became Tong's chambermaid since that day, which she was known as Tong's first royal concubine.

.

In the morning, Lilim sent him a piece of good news. She had opened a new service for otherworlders.

[Hihi! Heya Tong. Did you have fun last night?]

"Lilim? What do you want from me this time?"

[No. I didn't want anything from you but your lifespans. Actually, I'm here to tell you about my future service.]

"What service?"

[Contraceptive service and an emergency viagra service.]

"…"

[You can pay 100 lifespans for a save night, so any girl you mated will not get pregnant. As for the viagra service, it's as its name. You pay 100 lifespans to me, and I'll bless you with infinite yang seed for a night.]

"…"

[Also, I feel bad for the girls in the future. There is also another service, infinite yin energies for girls! Your bed partner will have unlimited stamina for a night for only 100 lifespans!]

"…"

[Do you like it?]

Tong turned left and right, checking his surroundings. Seeing that there was no one else around him, he gave Lilim a thumbs up.

"Make a shortcut in my system menu. I'll be your customer."

[Hahaha! Sure!]

No one else but Tong knew about this conversation and secrets.
