I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 479 His Majesty works tirelessly day and night for the affairs of the state, truly a model for us ministers! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Upon seeing the task and reward, Li Chen began to ponder that perhaps this task was the key to making contact with the Immortal Realm, and he should take it seriously.

After all, the previous mission allowed them to come into contact with so-called 'immortal artifacts'.

Li Chen felt that if he followed the mission, the rewards and resources he would receive would far exceed those of ordinary cultivators in this world, and it would be quite normal for him to become a Saint Realm Great Perfection cultivator.

However, on the other hand, cultivators like Jun Zhantian, who are constantly searching for artifacts lost by immortals in this world, can also be extraordinary.

After thinking for a while, Li Chen told Li Si Ning not to put too much pressure on herself and to just let her cultivation happen naturally. He added that as long as her brother was there, no one could bully her.

But the more Li Chen said that, the more Li Si Ning felt she needed to cultivate diligently in order to live up to her brother's expectations.

She didn't understand the value of these cultivation materials before, but that doesn't mean she doesn't understand now.

The more you get into the industry and the stronger you become, the more you'll realize just how powerful Li Chen is.

Upon returning to his palace, Li Chen had just taken off his outer robe when the head maidservant entered lightly carrying a gilded jade tray.

Dozens of exquisite jade plaques were neatly arranged on the jade plate, each engraved with the title of a concubine.

The head palace maid would wait at the door and observe Li Chen's expression. If Li Chen seemed a little 'angry,' she would immediately arrange for the concubines to 'cool him down.' That was her job.

"Your Majesty, which concubine would you like to summon to your bedchamber tonight?"

The head palace maid asked respectfully, while secretly observing Li Chen's expression out of the corner of her eye.

When she noticed His Majesty stretching, she immediately lowered her voice knowingly and said, "This servant will immediately arrange for a few ladies skilled in massage."

Li Chen rubbed his temples, and the image of the Empress Dowager's voluptuous figure involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

He casually waved his hand and said, "Call Fairy Youlan and Jiang Rong here."

He paused and then added, "Invite Jiang Ningyue, Xie Minjun, and others like them over as well."

The head palace maid's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood.

His Majesty's preference tonight is for voluptuous beauties.

These breasts are all quite full, the kind His Majesty prefers.

As she bowed and withdrew, she had already decided which ladies would best suit the emperor's wishes to summon.

No, a few people are probably not enough; a few dozen would be more like it.

Within half an hour, the sound of tinkling jade pendants could be heard outside the palace.

The first to step in was Fairy Youlan, wearing a light purple gauze dress that subtly revealed her voluptuous figure.

Her proud breasts pushed up her clothes to create an astonishing curve, surging as she walked, and the silver bells tied at her waist made a crisp sound with each step.

The reason she arrived the fastest was because she was the strongest.

"Your Majesty~"

Fairy Youlan bowed gracefully, deliberately lowering her body so that the spring scenery at her neckline was fully exposed.

Following closely behind was Jiang Rong, who had specially changed into a lake-blue brocade robe today. The tight design accentuated her extremely thin waist and made her breasts and hips appear even fuller.

The hair ornaments adorning her hair swayed gently with her graceful steps, reflecting a mesmerizing glow in the candlelight.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

When Jiang Rong bowed, she deliberately tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, revealing her slender neck.

She knew that His Majesty loved to kiss this spot the most.

Next to enter was Jiang Ningyue. This usually dignified imperial concubine was wearing a daring fuchsia strapless dress tonight, with a transparent gauze overlay.

Her full breasts were adorned with delicate gold chains that jingled as she walked.

She was also holding an incense burner in her hands, the wisps of smoke carrying a subtle fragrance that seemed to boost one's hormones.

Xie Minjun, dressed in a black lace dress, exuded a mature and alluring charm. She had deliberately styled her hair loosely, with a few curls falling gracefully over her fair collarbone. Her hands...
With a gentle wave of her feather fan, her eyes sparkled with charm.

Luo Qimeng and Jin Qiaoqiao entered together; the former wore a pale yellow low-cut ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), while the latter wore a bright green slit long dress.

One was gentle and the other lively, yet both possessed breathtaking curves.

Soon, more than twenty stunning beauties had gathered in the palace.

Some sat, some stood; some gently stroked the strings of a musical instrument, while others danced gracefully. The air was filled with the rich fragrance of various precious perfumes.

Li Chen leaned against the dragon bed, his gaze lingering on these ripe and beautiful bodies.

Fairy Youlan immediately understood and swayed her slender waist as she stepped forward to massage his shoulders.

Her soft hands brushed lightly against his earlobe, her breath sweet as orchids: "Your Majesty has been working hard lately, please allow me to serve you well."

Jiang Rong was not to be outdone, so she knelt on the footstool and massaged Li Chen's legs.

She deliberately lowered her body, letting her full breasts sway alluringly in front of His Majesty.

Seeing this, the other concubines each displayed their talents.

Some brought fine wine, some peeled fruit, and some even boldly stretched their slender feet directly onto the table.
The temperature inside the palace seemed to be rising higher and higher. Li Chen casually pulled open his collar, revealing his muscular chest.

This action elicited a series of soft gasps from the women, their eyes glistening with even more tears.

"Your Majesty, let me help you undress." Xie Minjun seized the opportunity to press herself against him, her red lips almost touching his earlobe.

As each magnificent garment was laid to rest, sounds that would make one blush quickly filled the palace.

The head palace maid would listen for any sounds outside the door, and if there weren't enough people here, she would summon the next batch.

As it turns out, Li Chen is very strong, and this place is really not enough.

Moonlight streamed through the gauze window, casting their intertwined figures onto the wall until dawn broke.

This is the main reason why Li Chen was so sleepy when he went to court the next morning; he had a lot of fun the night before.

However, when the court officials saw Li Chen like this, they were all filled with respect.

After the tide receded, General Guo Poyun sighed on his way back, "Your Majesty works tirelessly day and night to govern the country; you are truly a role model for us!"

Thinking that His Majesty works hard every day while he has nothing to do but grow vegetables, he felt a little guilty.

Luo Hui, the Minister of Personnel, also sighed, "Judging from the dark circles under His Majesty's eyes, he must have been reviewing memorials until the wee hours of the morning last night."

"Yes, yes! As subjects, we should be even more diligent!" The ministers echoed, each with a look of shame on their faces.

Chancellor Zhao Wenyuan exclaimed excitedly, "Your Majesty's diligence in governing is truly a blessing from Heaven! I suggest that Your Majesty's tireless efforts be recorded in history to inspire future generations!"

"I second that!"

"I second that!"

The court officials seemed to see that Tian Ce's future would be better under this emperor's leadership.

The court was filled with praise and adulation. Li Chen was puzzled when he heard this rumor, but he didn't say anything. As long as you don't criticize me, you can say whatever you want.

Even the morning court session, which originally took two hours, was completed in less than an hour, and the quality was extremely high.

After the court session ended, officials from various departments returned to their offices and immediately convened an emergency meeting.

"If His Majesty is so diligent, how can we slack off?"

"Starting today, all departments will implement a rotating shift system to ensure that someone is working every 12 hours!"

"Get all the backlogged files sorted out and process them within three days!"

Thus, a "political storm" triggered by a misunderstanding swept through the entire Tian Ce court.
