Chapter 40 Are You Really Not a Gigolo?
In this world, spirit stones are extremely valuable, and only masters can absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stones and use it to improve their practice.

A piece of low-grade spirit stone costs as much as a thousand taels of gold, and even if you take out a thousand taels of gold, you may not be able to buy a piece of low-grade spirit stone.

One hundred low-grade spirit stones are worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. For the concubines in the harem, this is not a small number.

What's more, in addition to the one hundred low-grade spirit stones, there are also various other good things, elixirs, natural treasures...all of which are good things to assist in cultivation, and are also suitable for Lu Changjing to take.

After all, Lu Changjing, like Ning Zhongyu, is a master, his physique is not much worse than his, and he also practices the Huangji Divine Art system.

Even the Five Elements Golden Body Technique, a physical training technique, was practiced by both of them in exactly the same way. Lu Changjing almost replicated the techniques, combat skills, and secret arts that Ning Zhongyu practiced.

The Five Elements Golden Body Art, the Imperial Sword Technique, the Imperial Dragon Step, the Imperial Four Tribulations, the Imperial Dragon Soul Sutra, the Imperial Shocking Art…even the Imperial Cang Yang Technique is the same.

It has to be said that what Ning Zhongyu cultivated were all good things. Not only did he like them, but Lu Changjing also liked them.

Even the Imperial Noble Consort Rong Xiyao, Noble Consort Tang Qingyi, Consort Duan Lin Yixin, Consort Zhen Tan Qingyun, Consort Yi Zhou Ruolan, who were all favored by Ning Zhongyu... Lu Changjing also had his eyes on them.

Thanks to Ning Zhongyu for giving him this opportunity, although it is a bit dangerous, it is still possible to take advantage of the situation.

He smiled slightly and was about to practice when he heard someone outside saying, "The Imperial Concubine has arrived."

It seems that almost everyone in the harem knows that I am so poor that I have to sell my property, and I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

"Xuan..."

Lu Changjing did not refuse and let Tang Qingyi in directly.

After entering the imperial study, Tang Qingyi also locked the door, holding a food box in his hand.

Tang Qingyi was dressed simply today, with light makeup on her face and a light green dress.

A freshly picked white hibiscus was pinned diagonally on her head, and apart from that she only wore a jade seven-treasure hairpin. However, she was still stunningly beautiful. The scent of a Jiangnan lady that came to one's face made one feel as if he had instantly arrived at a small bridge in Jiangnan shrouded in mist and rain.

"I have met your Majesty!"

Seeing Lu Changjing, Tang Qing also bowed down to him with a charming posture, without any discomfort at all.

Lu Changjing smiled and said, "Please get up, Concubine Tang. What do you want to see me for today?"

"I made some food and brought it to Your Majesty. Please try it." Tang Qingyi smiled and placed the food box on the dragon-carved wooden table.

Lu Changjing was about to open it, but was stopped by Tang Qingyi: "It is better to open it after I leave. Your Majesty has worked hard these days. Don't push yourself so hard in the future."

"I understand. Thank you, Concubine Tang, for your concern." Lu Changjing said with a smile.

Tang Qingyi gave a few more instructions before turning around and leaving.

When Tang Qingyi's figure disappeared, Lu Changjing opened the food box and was surprised to find that except for the upper layers, the lower layers were all low-grade spiritual stones, elixirs and rare treasures.

Its astonishing value is not inferior to what Lin Yixin brought.

As expected, they came to help him again. Lu Changjing hurriedly put these good things into the Qingkong Divine Ring and put it close to his body.

After a little consideration, he simply cut a small incision in his belly and put the Blue Sky Divine Ring into it.

With his strong physique and the help of high-level spiritual medicine, he recovered in a moment and there was no trace of injury anymore.

Until this moment, Lu Changjing finally put his mind at ease. Just after he finished all this, he heard the sound of greetings coming from outside. It should be Cao Wenzheng coming back.

Lu Changjing immediately sat up straight and looked through the memorials on the table.

"crunch..."

After locking the door of the imperial study, Cao Wenzheng looked directly at Lu Changjing: "We heard that the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine came one after another. Did they hear about our sale of the royal property, so they came to help you?"

"Not really, they just came to ask about the situation." Lu Changjing denied it directly and was not worried that Rong Xiyao and Tang Qingyi would leak the secret.

When the two were leaving, Lu Changjing specifically reminded them not to spread the matter.

Rong Xiyao and Tang Qingyi thought that Lu Changjing felt embarrassed, after all, this would damage the emperor's reputation, so they both agreed.

Based on Lu Changjing's understanding of the two, Rong Xiyao and Tang Qingyi would definitely not spread the news, and the same went for Lin Yixin.

If that were not the case, how could Lu Changjing dare to covet these good things.

"Really?"

Cao Wen Zheng didn't believe it and began to search the surroundings carefully, even the secret room where he was in seclusion.

After a while, Cao Wenzhen, who had found nothing, grabbed Lu Changjing and began to search him carefully.

Thanks to Lu Changjing's carefulness in placing the Blue Sky Divine Ring under the membrane, Cao Wenzhen did not discover the clues.

"Really nothing?"

Cao Wenzheng was stunned, with a puzzled look on his face: "Even if the concubines have opinions about His Majesty, they shouldn't be so indifferent to His Majesty. After all, His Majesty has not done anything bad to the concubines except not favoring the harem in these years."

"The Imperial Consort and the Imperial Consort also offered to help me, but I was afraid that doing so would hurt the emperor's face, so I had to refuse and didn't dare to agree."

Lu Changjing explained, otherwise it would be a bit unreasonable.

Cao Wenzheng suddenly realized and couldn't help but hit him a few times: "You are so poor, and you still care about the emperor's face. It really makes me angry."

After teaching Lu Changjing a lesson, Cao Wenzheng left angrily. When he was about to leave the imperial study, he couldn't help but turn back and said, "Next time you encounter something like this, collect some money appropriately, so that you can have money to clean up your mess. However, as you said, this is indeed disgraceful. When His Majesty comes out of confinement, I'm afraid he won't let us go..."

"Forget it, then don't accept it. Let His Majesty decide what to do after he comes out of confinement. Just be a good fake emperor and don't cause any trouble for His Majesty."

"Okay, I remember." Lu Changjing nodded and agreed.

After sensing the Blue Sky Divine Ring beneath his skin membrane, he thought to himself that it would be embarrassing not to eat such delicious soft rice.

Having lived two lives, he never imagined in his previous life that there would come a day when he would be a gigolo.

However, Lu Changjing will remember these concubines who have helped him, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely repay these concubines.

Ning Zhongyu's wife was not that good, but extremely bad. Unexpectedly, the concubines he married were better than the other. It was really strange. It was a pity that he did not cherish them, so he could only love them himself.

"Brother, the baby is here. You are smiling so happily. Is it because you sold your property for a good price?"

Tan Qingyun's voice came from behind, holding a large food box in her hand.
