Meng Huan felt like the other man was getting back at him.
With the only way to get back at a concubine, in bed.
Meng Huan: TvT
He only offended the other man by accident, and now he was going to get dicked?
Such a sad life.
With jelly legs, he stood up weakly. A maid in front of him heard the words ‘serve in bed’ and quietly retreated.
On the way to the study with Lin Bozhou, the maid, who had left earlier, brought back a middle-aged woman, who was waiting at the door.
“Get Chen An and Yang Xin.” Lin Bozhou instructed Shan Xing, “They are familiar with disaster relief and military provisions. Have them both come and discuss the situation.”
After that, he entered his study, leaving Meng Huan outside. The elderly woman strode forward and took him by the hand. “Madam.”
Meng Huan asked, “And you are?”
“Madam, come with me.” Her face was full of compassion, sending out a warm feeling that would make anyone want to befriend her.
I don’t get it?
Meng Huan subconsciously looked in Lin Bozhou’s direction, but the silent man turned a blind eye to him with his downcast gaze, as if he gave a silent approval for the stewardess to take him away.
The man was letting him go just like that?
Was he not here to serve in bed?
Full of doubts, Meng Huan was dragged by the woman all the way to the backyard of the study. A large wooden basin was placed inside as servants were coming in and out to fill it with hot water.
When Meng Huan could vaguely pick up on what was happening, the woman’s kind voice came again, “Is madam still a virgin?”
“…”
Oh.
So this was the cleaning step before serving in bed.
Meng Huan: ^v^

“…”
Meng Huan turned to the loving woman who could be his mother.
The woman complimented, “Madam has good bone structure. Please remove your clothes and enter the water. This servant has a few words to say to you.”
After saying that, she raised her hands and clapped twice.
Clap, clap.
A maid carried a small wooden table with a book on top of it, leaving it in front of Meng Huan with her head down.
Meng Huan asked, “This is?”
The woman answered, “A spring palace picture book.”
“…”
After saying that, she brought it over and flipped through the pages, showing Meng Huan. “Madam is not experienced enough, so this servant is afraid you will be lost when performing your duty tonight. Oh, look at this page, and then this page…”
She was earnestly educating Meng Huan with a very kind face.
But looking at the pictures, Meng Huan was very embarrassed.
The older lady in front of him was old enough to be his own mother. The more he listened to her words, the more his head went numb.
With a pa, Meng Huan closed the book, having reached his limit. “There is no need, I understand them all.
“Has madam seen this before?”
Meng Huan thought of an excuse and lied, “Back at the Imperial Music Office, I read one a day.”
“…”
Not only that, he drew for a living, and artistic understanding of human anatomy in the modern world was more advanced than the ancient world. So any one of his own drawings was more intense than the pictures he was seeing.
“If that’s the case, it’s easier for this servant as well.” The woman looked relieved.
She held a small amount of authority in this compound, and would always receive dinner invites from girls who were a day away from their wedding. After dinner, she would pull the girls into their chamber for a lady talk, before being sent off by the blushing host.
There were even some young men who liked to enter by the back door and came to ask her for bedroom advice.
So as soon as the maid heard Lin Bozhou’s concubine was told to serve in bed, without a second word, she immediately went to get the elderly woman to impart the necessary knowledge to Meng Huan.
Seeing that Meng Huan was not looking great, the woman immediately comforted him, as an experienced car driver, “Madam, please do not be afraid, it will not hurt.”
Sob, it will definitely hurt qaq!
You guys don’t understand.
The book’s description of this aspect of Lin Bozhou was outrageous!
This was something that the book described numerous times as ‘lethal weapon’, ‘dagger’, and so on!
After clenching at his inner robe in distress for quite a while, he turned to the spring palace picture book. Since he could not think of a way to escape from this for the time being, he said, “Can I take this book with me?”
The woman asked, “Why does madam need it?”
Meng Huan said with a deep expression, “Have His Royal Highness read and learn from it. Lest he stab me to death tonight.”
“……”
…
Steam began to build inside the room. After a long time, the door was finally opened.
Meng Huan changed into light and convenient clothes. His hair was washed, dried with a towel, and smoothly brushed through. His face was flushed and moist as he was escorted by his maids and eunuchs to Lin Bozhou’s study through the back door.
The Prince Regent’s study was actually a deep, wide side chamber. The front door was used by the aides and staff, while the side and back door were used by consorts, concubines and servants.
There was a heated discussion coming from the antechamber as Lin Bozhou’s advisors and guest scholars were arguing.
“The account of the flood in Huanghuai was delivered with four-hundred-li-per-day urgency, this expressly stated that the people are starving. Your Royal Highness, you must promptly ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds to them to get food in Jiangsu to relieve the disaster!”
“That’s right! Your Royal Highness must have them transported by water upstream, so as to deliver the food to the people as soon as possible. Only then would the country be at peace, or else there will be chaos among the common people.”
“Your Royal Highness, this humble one believes in providing work to relieve poverty instead of granting funds…”
They were debating fiercely as Lin Bozhou sat in his chair and listened quietly. His eyes were downcast, not talking.
Everytime he encountered a major issue, even if he had a general idea of what to do, he would still invite his advisors to talk it out, very loudly. Some matters became clearer the more it was debated on. So with more words thrown around, the clearer his thought process became.
However, he would not lightly state his position, and he would not allow people to see what was on his mind. He preferred to stay quiet and listen.
He could never go wrong with being a thoughtful speaker, because the chances of slipping up at some point increased with each word said.
Immersed in his thoughts amid the noisy study, Lin Bozhou did not notice Meng Huan’s arrival.
Then I will just wait patiently. Behind the folding screen and beaded curtains, Meng Huan sat down on the to rest for now.
The loudness from the front room was in contrast to the quietness in the back room. After waiting fruitlessly for a while, Meng Huan lay down and flipped through the spring palace picture book, since he had nothing to do anyway.
It was only so-so, he critiqued internally.
If you wanted pornographic art, you had to look at the 21st century’s explosive growth of techniques, producing all kinds of porn.
After flipping through the book, he got bored and began to fiddle with his hands.
Very much like a lonely young wife from a rich family waiting for her hubby’s return…
The pictures in this kind of book were a little rough and slipshod. Afraid that Lin Bozhou would improvise randomly from not understanding the details, Meng Huan searched everywhere for a pen, wanting to add a full tutorial on it…
But the moment the tip of the brush was on the paper, Meng Huan crossed it out.
So embarrassing.
What kind of person would take the initiative to draw a full tutorial for others?
Fine, he could only continue to wait.
Because of the lack of electricity and light pollution in ancient times, it was pure darkness once the sky was dark. Not able to see anything, people went to sleep much earlier in the ancient period compared to the modern period.
Perhaps this was the reason why Meng Huan’s biological clock had been shifted earlier, and he now became very sleepy.
“Mmm?!”
After a long time, the voices from the front hall finally stopped.
“It is late.” Lin Bozhou spoked up, “It is time for everyone to turn in for the night.”
Everyone saluted one after another.
Lin Bozhou added, “A few days ago, his Majesty sent over high-quality brocade from Sichuan. This Regent had the servants tailor some clothing for you, to keep out the cold as the weather changes.”
His advisors and guest scholars have no other job. They made a living by giving Lin Bozhou advice and amusement. The more extravagant Lin Bozhou was, the better their lives were.
Brocade from Sichuan was one of the top three brocades in terms of quality, with bright color and beautiful style, making the wearer look both noble and rich. One’s honor was presented through none other than food, clothing and shelter. By giving them such honorable clothing, Lin Bozhou was showing them the utmost appreciation
The crowd cupped their hands in delight. “Your Royal Highness, thank you so much.”
As everyone went their separate ways, Meng Huan’s heart beat faster. He stood up and waited for Lin Bozhou to enter.
Lin Bozhou asked, “What time is it?”
“The hour of the rat.” Shan Xing checked the sand filter.
“Go grind ink.” Lin Bozhou said, lowering his eyes. “Send a letter to the Zhezhi Governor.”
“Your Royal Highness is not going to rest?”
“After this letter.”
Your wife will sleep without you, Mr. Tyrant
