693: Chapter 466 693: Chapter 466 The monkey following Prince San had a physical body and faced the task of acquiring the Emperor’s woman for Prince San.

Upon witnessing this scene, the monkey’s mind went blank; it was a spirit born within a monkey’s body and had never seen a real woman before.

As for what it saw at that base, male monkeys teasing female monkeys was due to their being of the same kind, already harboring such thoughts.

But now it was different; it was in the Cultivation World, truly witnessing humans with humans, beautiful women before it with men.

The monkey’s face turned as red as a buttock, shyly looking away as Prince San prepared to seduce the King’s woman.

At first, the monkey didn’t even anticipate it; it only saw the women in the Imperial Palace were beautiful and enjoyed the view along with them.

Often on the palace roofs, it was tasked not only with monitoring Prince San but also had the chance to see some women bathing, changing clothes, and applying makeup.

The monkey shyly looked away and then became curious about human joys of eating, drinking, and reveling in song and dance—surely the greatest pleasures in the Mortal Realm!

This monkey had never ascended to the Heavenly Palace, but its body retained its original memories.

The Immortals of the Heavenly Palace knew how to enjoy themselves far more than the King’s sons and daughters or those other women.

Yet the King’s sons frequently invited women to sing, dance, drink, and be merry.

They did not practice cultivation as diligently as those in other parts of the Cultivation World—the monkey shook its head, wondering if the King realized how indulgent he allowed his sons to be, unaware of the proverbial greenery sprouting above his head.

After Prince San entered the Imperial Palace, he set his sights on the Empress, but her palace was often frequented by a Princess.

Prince San, utilizing his abilities, infiltrated the Empress’s palace and became very interested in both the Empress and her daughter.

Princess Long Feifeng entered her mother’s palace that day to chat and urged her mother to order Ye Tian to return quickly.

“Empress Mother, Father King doesn’t let me leave and Ye Tian hasn’t been found yet.

I want to go out and search for him!”

The Empress had always indulged the whims of Princess Long Feifeng, her only natural-born daughter, while the other princesses were born of different women.

Naturally, she wished to reserve the most handsome man of Ancient Xia Country for her daughter.

The Empress also knew that among the Ten Great Clans, there were other outstanding men who had been considered as potential husbands for her daughter.

Regrettably, during the assembly, the most powerful and elite sons from the Great Clans appeared in the Imperial Palace, but who knew the Top Ten Clans would not make a deal with their King!

Those who attended the matchmaking event organized by the King were merely collateral members of the Top Ten Clans, and neither their abilities nor their appearances were the best.

The Clans were uncontrollable, and only the devoted and loyal Guardian Family’s Ye Tian had entered the Princess’s heart.

Among the ministers, there were three teams, and even the son of the Chief of Staff wasn’t too bad.

The Empress thought Tang Feiyang was somewhat easier to control.

Regrettably, her daughter had always favored Ye Tian and was unwilling to marry the Empress and King’s choice, Tang Feiyang.

As Princess Long Feifeng remained unmarried, the other princesses had even less chance of marriage, and so, one by one, the Imperial Palace princesses of marriageable age became restless with their own thoughts.

The Prime Minister had long wished to have his Grand Princess marry into his estate, but alas, his only son was too feeble, and he felt the Prime Minister had ill intentions, believing his daughter absolutely could not marry the Prime Minister’s son.

In terms of character, Ye Tian was an excellent choice, whereas Liu Tao had numerous bad rumors about him, even becoming a madman over a woman in the last incident.

Naturally, the Empress did not wish for her daughter to seek out Ye Tian herself and could only console her.

Princess Long Feifeng, without the Empress’s support and restricted by her imperial father, grew bored and noticed a strange face in the Empress’s palace.

This stranger was rather handsome, which led her to scrutinize the man.

Her question, though, was directed toward the Empress.

“Empress Mother, when did this strange face appear in your palace?

What is his background, and what does he do?”

The Empress glanced at Prince San, now disguised as a eunuch.

This eunuch was one she had asked the old eunuch to select from a batch of newcomers; this man’s appearance had caught the Empress’s eye.

It wasn’t that this new eunuch was particularly skilled; all new eunuchs were trained, and this one had already learnt how to serve people.

The Empress, a middle-aged beauty, harbored the heart of a young girl with dreams and a love for young, fresh meat.

Though the ones around her were eunuchs, not guards, their good looks gave her a sense of comfort and filled the void left by the Emperor’s absence from the palace.

“This eunuch is new; daughter, why do you inquire about him?

Could it be that you know him from before?”

Princess Long Feifeng too was smitten by the handsomeness of Prince San, and although this man’s features were charming, lacking Ye Tian’s steely presence, as a eunuch he exhibited a bit of effeminacy—a trait common to all eunuchs.

Princess Long Feifeng had long wished to keep male pets by her side and did not want to marry Ye Tian, fearing he might consider her licentious.

Therefore, men from outside the palace could never become her companions or pets; she had to think of another way.

Lately, she had the senior eunuch dismiss those who were too old and required to leave and sought to recruit a new batch of young and handsome ones, indifferent to their backgrounds, as long as they had attractive faces.

Though Ancient Xia Country was a major Cultivation nation, there were still ordinary peasant families who would sell their sons into service.

Princess Long Feifeng was instantly captivated by Prince San’s appearance and determined that she must find someone interesting amidst the tedium.

His demeanor, standing to one side with a submissive expression like a little wife, gave Princess Long Feifeng a sense of amusement in keeping this boy by her side.

“Mother, please assign this eunuch to serve me,” she requested.

The Empress was reluctant to agree; it was for his good looks that she had kept the eunuch close, a piece of young delicacy far more pleasing than the King’s aged visage.

The King visited her not even once or twice a month, leaving her feeling immensely lonely.

With no guards or other men allowed by her side, a good-looking eunuch was quite desirable!

“No, Princess, select another eunuch; this one shall remain here,” she replied.

Princess Long Feifeng, failing to obtain her mother’s consent, was not one to give up easily and thus, taking Prince San by the hand, attempted to leave.

Though his gaze was downturned, Prince San could sense the Empress’s reluctance to let him go.

He stood firm as a pine, immovable regardless of how hard Princess Long Feifeng tried to pull him away.

He then bent his body toward the Empress and said,

“Empress, Princess Long Feifeng requires my service.

When I have the time, I shall also come to pay my respects to you.”

Upon hearing Prince San’s words, she sensed a hidden meaning and thought again that everything within the palace was under her control.

As the Empress, she ruled over all the Emperor’s consorts, his sons, and their attendants.

To summon a eunuch was an easy task.

Though she could not see him every day, having a handsome eunuch by her daughter’s side—who might become her daughter’s man—meant she could have her daughter visit often, and could secretly summon him as well.

Having thought it through, the Empress dismissed them with a wave of her hand, feigning indifference.

Princess Long Feifeng was pleased to have the transfer of the eunuch approved by her mother.

She had tried to pull him by the hand earlier but couldn’t budge him—an indicator of his surprising strength.

Whether his power was great, or he possessed deep cultivation, she couldn’t determine.

She could not discern any particular type of cultivation from this man.

He appeared to be a commoner, yet was immovable by her, a cultivator.

This man was no ordinary person.

Taking the eunuch and maids back to her residence, she then dismissed the palace maids, leaving only the eunuch.

She wanted to spend time in secret with him.

An idea struck Princess Long Feifeng; she decided to interrogate the eunuch about his background, discover his past, and uncover why he entered the Imperial Palace.

“Now it’s just the two of us, speak up.

What is your purpose, your reason for entering the Imperial Palace, and specifically my mother’s quarters?

Are you here to harm her?”

Faced with Princess Long Feifeng’s questioning, Prince San was not at all afraid.

If his identity were revealed, he would simply flee.

A prince serving these women as a commoner—if it weren’t for their status as women, he would not debase himself by pretending to be a eunuch.

He was a man who also had his pride.

“Princess, aren’t you thinking too much?

With my physique, what do you have to fear?”
