The Empress's Gigolo Chapter 114

The following day, Ren Baqian made his way to the Honglu Bureau at first light . The empress's birthday celebration was today . Following which, his mission would be considered accomplished . The position of Honglu Deputy did not interest him much anyway .

When he returned to Earth that night, he would bring some good stuff back . By the time he looked for Du Changkong, he would be able to exchange the good stuff for learning martial arts . Who knows, he might practice till he became an expert or what not .

With regards to the martial arts in this world, he was nevertheless looking forward to practicing it .

At present, he could only hope that he would be able to master the martial arts of this world . After all his was from another world, and he couldn't say for certain whether he had the same body composition as the people in this world . In that case, it would be miserable for him .

Qi Heng and Qi Sheng who were guarding the entrance of the Honglu Bureau, still paid their respects to Ren Baqian upon seeing him . Even though Ren Baqian's temporary stint at the Honglu Bureau wasn't a secret, he had indeed done a pretty good job as there wasn't much trouble at the Honglu Bureau these days . As a result, the people there still considered him as someone respectable .

As far as the attitudes of the people in the Honglu Bureau were concerned, Ren Baqian was rather fond of it . But, one's own family would be aware of the happenings in their own family . In actual fact, the aboriginals were very rude, unreasonable, vicious, and merciless . Even though they posed as a threat to the people from the other nations, but on account of the empress's birthday, they wouldn't go overboard either . To add on, Qi Zhi himself was already outstanding and powerful . He could easily settle the other party as long as he whacked them till they were convinced .

As a result, he broke the legs of four people last year and continued to play dirty tricks under the table too .

However, Ren Baqian was different as he was too weak to even truss a chicken and did not have any foundation in Dayao . If he wasn't able to suppress them, on one hand, he would be in constant fear that his life would revolve around them . On the other hand, he wouldn't be able to please the empress either .

Following which, the vicious and merciless methods used by Ren Baqian and his absolutely unrestrained behavior was the reason they actually backed down .

This did not imply that he handled the issue somewhat better than how the original deputy, Qi Zhi, handled it .

Ren Baqian returned to his own room, and after a while, someone came to pass a token to him . This was to be used during the banquet that evening . The name list had already been fixed by the palace, and the rest of the invited guests had long ago received a token . He had been missing for a day, and following which, he participated in the Great Hunt . Thus, the token was only delivered to him today .

Ren Baqian fiddled with the token; he had long prepared a gift for the empress . The last time he came back to this world he had brought it along, and there ought to be no issues at all .

It wasn't expensive on Earth, but over here, it should be at the high-end impressive grade and wouldn't pale in comparison with the other valuable gifts from the everyone else .

Moreover, this gift also had a unique bootlicking aspect, and it could be assumed that the empress would be fond of it .

After sitting for a while, Ren Baqian suddenly thought of what should he wear this time as nobody informed him anything .

He got up, left his room, and arrived at Gu Daxiong's room . Ren Baqian could hear his thunderous snores from the doorway .

This person asked others to work but did nothing himself . He must be really comfortable . In previous years, the most troublesome period of time would be this period, but on the contrary, he wasn't really involved at all .

"Sir Gu," Ren Baqian knocked on the door and shouted . In no time, someone responded, "What's the matter? Come in . "

When Ren Baqian entered the room, Gu Daxiong was seated on the chair with both of his arms folded across his chest .

"Sir Gu, may I ask, what kind of clothes should I wear for the banquet?" Ren Baqian cupped one of his fists in another hand .

Gu Daxiong scratched his head . "Of course it's the ceremonial robe . " Soon after, he remembered that Ren Baqian wasn't familiar with all these things and said, "Go to Jingyang road and find this Gu Ji ready-made clothes shop . They make ceremonial robes over there . You are currently a Secondary class, Rank 6 and the color of the robe should be grass-green . "

"Many thanks, Sir Gu . But, could you get someone to bring me there?" Ren Baqian asked . Fortunately, he really came to ask, or else, he wouldn't have known that there were ceremonial robes in Dayao or even knew where to go to get them made . He hoped that there were ready-made robes in the shop to prevent any time wastage .

"Look for Gu Shou and ask him to find someone to bring you there . " Gu Daxiong waved his hand and yawned after that .

After a short while, Ren Baqian arrived at an entrance of a shop on Jingyang Road under someone's lead .

"Deputy Ren, this is the place . Tell them your position and they will know what to do," the person who led Ren Baqian to the shop told him and then left hurriedly .

There weren't many people in the shop, and a few completed clothes were hung on the frame .

After all, the other people had already made preparations earlier on . Nobody was like Ren Baqian, who only had his ceremonial robe made when the banquet was the same night .

There were two aboriginal women lying on the counter, and a burly man seated right beside them . Seeing Ren Baqian enter their shop while wearing his official robe, the two women immediately brought their spirits up .

"Sir, what do you want to buy?"

"A ceremonial robe to attend the banquet tonight . Are you able to make it by then?" Ren Baqian asked .

"We'll just have to alter it . You can collect it in four hours . " One of the woman said, "Sir, follow me . "

It was currently 9 in the morning, and four hours would mean it would be 1pm . This implied that there was still enough time .

After Ren Baqian went inside, there was a woman holding a ruler, standing by the side . It was unknown whether she was from the Yun Nation or Great Xia .

Ren Baqian spread his arms apart to let the other party take his measurements . In his mind, he guessed which nation this woman was actually from .

After all, the people from the three other nations all looked similar . The only difference was that the Chen Nation people were slightly tanner .

One other possibility could be that she was a remnant citizen of the Hao Nation . This was more plausible after thinking about it . In reality, the appearance of the aboriginals and them were similar with their features slightly more boorish . There was an enormous discrepancy in their build as well .

In a moment, after informing them about his position, Ren Baqian left the shop and returned to the Honglu Bureau . He stayed there till afternoon before collecting his ceremonial robe and then directly went back to the beast park .

The ceremonial robes in Dayao were very concise, and there weren't too many decorations on it . It included only a buttoned slant-collared, layered robe . The left side of the front piece was pressed over the right side and this section extended all the way to one's armpits . There were also decorative designs that were red on the slanted portion and on the sleeves of the robe .

Apart from the slanted collar, waist area, sleeves, and so on, the rest of the robe was green . The ceremonial robe only reached slightly lower than his knees, and he had to wear a green pants beneath it .

Everything else was fine with the exception of the color of this ceremonial robe . It made Ren Baqian feel that it was somewhat of a pain in the ass . Even if it was in the dark green spectrum, it would have be fine . After putting on this ceremonial robe, he immediately felt that he was as green as the prairie in the city of Hohhot .

Ren Baqian shifted a wooden box which was about the height of one and a half human tall . The exterior of the box was made from wood and the interior was made from wrapping kraft paper inside . Soft paper was used to wrap the surroundings of the box .

This was his gift for the empress's birthday celebration .

After examining the items, Ren Baqian went out and wandered around . He found Tie Dao and Teng Hulu, and the both of them immediately praised him repeatedly, "Sir Ren, you look dashing and majestic after donning the ceremonial robe . "

"Stop bootlicking . In a while, the both of you change into a set of clean clothes and help me to move my gift to the entrance of the palace . " Ren Baqian said . He was so "green", how could he look dashing and majestic?

"Yes sir . " The pair immediately nodded . Soon after, they curiously asked, "Sir, we haven't seen you preparing anything for Her Majesty and thought that you would go to the celebration empty-handed . "

"Naturally, I have prepared the gift long ago . " Ren Baqian waved his hand, "The both of you go and change into another set of clothes . "

When evening approached, Ren Baqian brought Tie Dao and Teng Hulu to the entrance of the palace . There were already a few carriages parked at the side of the plaza .

And, at the entrance of the palace doors, there were also a few rows of imperial guards . They formed a human wall, and among the human wall, there were two paths . The Dayao officials took one path while the others from the three nations took a separate path .

There were also a few women stationed outside of the human wall, recording the gifts that were going to be presented to the empress .
