Dragon's Origin

Chapter 408: Blushing (Part 1)

Not only could Wang Sheng not sit still, but even the Emperor couldn't sit still. He directly sent Steward Zhou to invite Wang Sheng over for a chat at the residence across the street, without even a prior notice.

"What are you planning to do?" The Emperor didn't give Wang Sheng a pleasant look, as if he were a furious father-in-law seeing a philandering son-in-law: "Not only did you invite so many top courtesans into the Wang residence, but you also had Mei'er ask the Empress for a few experienced palace maids to instruct in matters of the bedroom. What are you planning? Do you want to dote on those hundreds of women?"

Wang Sheng was very calm, sitting there very calmly picking up his teacup, slowly sipping tea, waiting for the Emperor's anger to vent.

After the Emperor angrily scolded for a long time, he realized something was wrong.

"You're not in the Wang residence?" This was the first question the Emperor asked after realizing.

"What a surprise!" Wang Sheng gave the Emperor a big eye roll: "If I were in the Wang residence, could Old Zhou have found me in the Marquis residence? Would I have the leisure to sit here and listen to you spew nonsense?"

The Emperor was a little embarrassed. He originally thought Wang Sheng had invited so many top courtesans, but Wang Sheng hadn't even gone to the Wang residence. That meant he hadn't even met those top courtesans or old palace maids. He had just rushed over and scolded him without asking any questions. This was a bit much.

Suddenly, the Emperor became afraid. Wang Sheng was not someone easy to deal with. When someone touched his business, Wang Sheng directly plotted to destroy their country. He had actually called Wang Sheng over and scolded him without considering the consequences. If Wang Sheng had turned hostile at that time, he would have been in danger.

"As the Emperor, you don't even have this bit of composure and self-cultivation!" Wang Sheng kept shaking his head, looking at the Emperor as if he were a fool: "Especially since you have successfully cultivated the Mind-Preserving Meditation Technique, I now strongly suspect whether you have the composure to remain calm even if the sky falls."

The Emperor's face turned red with shame. He was reprimanded by Wang Sheng, but he couldn't say anything in response.

Steward Zhou was at the door not far away, his eyes watching his nose, his nose watching his heart, as if he were a high-ranking Taoist monk in meditation, clearly having reached an extremely profound level of cultivation of being deaf and blind.

Throughout the world, even the lords of the great principalities would have to show some respect to the Emperor. Last time, those envoys were very rude, but they only stood up and left. Since the Emperor became sensible and ascended the throne, no one except Wang Sheng has dared to point at his nose and scold him so openly.

But the Emperor actually enjoyed this. He drank tea while trying to hide his embarrassment. Seeing that Wang Sheng's anger had subsided, he asked with a smile, "Do you know what Mei'er and the others are doing?"

Wang Sheng shook his head: "I've been helping Imperial Treasure Workshop create winemaking equipment recently, how can I have time to care about so much?"

The Emperor thought about the news he had received about Marquis Chang Sheng in the past few days. He had clearly been staying in the Marquis residence with a group of grandmasters. In fact, Wang Sheng had only been to that Wang residence once, and never again. The Emperor himself was also confused. As soon as he heard the news, he was urged by the Empress, his anger flared up, and he came to question Wang Sheng. Now that he thought about it, it was really as Wang Sheng said, he lacked a lot in composure.

The two looked at each other, neither of them understanding what Mei'er was doing by bringing a dozen top courtesans and old palace maids who taught about sexual matters to the Wang residence. Could it be that those top courtesans were teaching those beautiful female experts how to serve men, and then using it to please Wang Sheng?

Thinking of this, the Emperor's gaze towards Wang Sheng was a little different again. Regardless of whether Wang Sheng knew about it or not, Wang Sheng would ultimately benefit, and that was Wang Sheng's greatest fault.

"Forget it, I'll go take a look!" Wang Sheng was also bored, so he stood up directly, greeted the Emperor, and left on his own.

When he reached the door, Wang Sheng suddenly asked Steward Zhou, "Old Zhou, how's your hearing?"

Steward Zhou looked at the Emperor and replied woodenly, "It's still acceptable!"

Wang Sheng didn't care and directly waved his head: "Then let's go, let's go listen and see what's going on."

Looking at the Emperor again, the Emperor nodded slightly, and Steward Zhou also turned around and left with Wang Sheng.

"Your Excellency, in the future, it would be better to show a little more respect when meeting the Emperor." After they had left the street and were surrounded by no one, Steward Zhou walked side by side with Wang Sheng and suggested in a sincere tone.

"You don't understand, Old Zhou!" Wang Sheng laughed directly. Steward Zhou was indeed loyal to the Emperor, and he was worthy of being one of the royal family's old retainers who was most trusted by the Emperor, always thinking about the Emperor's face.

Steward Zhou was confused by Wang Sheng's words of not understanding. He was already an old monster who had lived for nearly a hundred years, what human affairs had he not seen through?

"The Emperor grew up in various flowery words and flattery. Appropriately hearing something different and feeling some different attitudes can also give him a little freshness." Wang Sheng explained with a smile, "Didn't you see that he's enjoying it?"

The Emperor was enjoying being reprimanded by Wang Sheng? Steward Zhou really wanted to spit in Wang Sheng's face. In Wang Sheng's eyes, was the Emperor a masochist who expected others not to give him a good face? If that were the case, why would the Emperor be angry about the lack of respect from the representatives of several principalities?

"Reprimands without malice and contempt with no one in sight are two different things." Wang Sheng knew that the old eunuch couldn't stand the Emperor suffering even a little grievance, so he had to explain clearly to avoid the three old eunuchs finding fault with him behind his back: "It's like family members sometimes reprimanding you for your own good, and it's completely different from the outside, right?"

Listening to Wang Sheng's words, Steward Zhou suddenly felt that there might be a little bit of truth to it. Otherwise, why had the Emperor never taken Wang Sheng's rudeness to heart, but instead remembered the actions of the representatives of several principalities, and was always extremely angry?

Thinking about it, it was true. Even the Emperor hadn't said anything, so why should he jump out and do useless work? Steward Zhou said to Wang Sheng, "I've been taught!" and then didn't say anything more on this issue.

The Wang residence wasn't far away, and the two of them walked nearby after a short time. However, Wang Sheng didn't immediately enter the Wang residence with Steward Zhou, but instead found a suitable place a hundred meters away that wouldn't disturb the people inside, and listened to the movement inside.

Steward Zhou's cultivation was superb, at the peak of the Legendary Realm, and with some secret techniques in the palace, he could hear the faint sounds coming from inside at this distance. However, no matter how powerful the cultivation bonus was, it wasn't as powerful as Wang Sheng's abnormal hearing enhanced by the Qiuniu Transformation. Here, Steward Zhou could only hear some vaguely, but Wang Sheng could hear clearly.

A faint moan reached Wang Sheng's ears, and Wang Sheng was stunned for a moment. What was going on?
