Chapter 87 The Three

Urgent Needs of Man The sudden shout startled everyone in the hall. No one had expected the Empress Dowager and Consort Cao

to arrive at this time. Princess Tanxue and Princess Tanxiang were overjoyed and ran out of the hall

to greet the Empress Dowager and Consort Cao. Princess Wude hesitated for a moment before gracefully stepping out to greet them,

followed by the others.

As soon as they stepped out of the hall, they were greeted by a sea of lights. A dozen or so palace maids and eunuchs stood in two rows, carrying a dozen or

so palace lanterns, illuminating the courtyard as if it were daytime. The Empress Dowager and Consort Cao, accompanied by Princess Tanxue and Princess Tanxiang

, walked slowly towards them.

Both ladies were dressed in splendid attire, exuding great nobility. The Empress Dowager's skin was as smooth and lustrous as warm jade,

and her cherry-red lips were naturally beautiful. A pale pink brocade bodice, a silver and gold thread front opening, flowing sleeves, and a fitted waist silk palace

dress , the cuffs embroidered with lifelike flying phoenixes, further enhancing her nobility; silver thread outlines auspicious clouds, and the hem is densely covered

with a row of green sea and cloud patterns.

A yellow jade pendant with gold lettering, a bow tied on the dress, adds a touch of coquettishness. A moon-white satin cloak embroidered with magnolias and butterflies

. A floor-length brocade skirt in moon white and pale pink, white peony-patterned soft gauze. Her hair was styled in a

phoenix bun, adorned with twelve crystal hairpins, and a golden phoenix. Silver butterfly earrings, a red gold dragon necklace,

a pearl necklace, and a jade bracelet. Her face was cold, though lightly made up, she still exuded elegance and solemnity,

giving an impression of noble simplicity.

Consort Cao, on the other hand, wore a magnificent bright red palace dress that hugged her exquisite figure, her charming face and fiery allure captivating.

Her hair was styled in a phoenix bun, secured with a single jade hairpin, exuding allure. Her delicately drawn eyebrows and light palace makeup,

along with shimmering earrings, perfectly accentuated her captivating charm.

Behind the two empresses followed a cold and elegant woman in white, a sword at her waist—none other than

Cao Xian'e, the Empress Dowager's personal bodyguard.

Tonight, Princess Wude's residence was truly bustling. Almost all the beauties of the household—the Empress Dowager, the Imperial Concubine, the Princess, the Holy Mother, the Fairy,

the Lady, and others—were present. Seeing so many beauties, especially the many

noblewomen he had once had affairs with, Wu Tianjiao's heart stirred. He looked around, eyeing this and that,

his eyes darting everywhere, thinking, "Are they all here for a 'no-holds-barred party' with me?"

He really wanted to, without even considering where he was.

Princess Wude dared not be negligent and invited the Empress Dowager and Imperial Concubine Cao into the main hall. After a few pleasantries and

polite exchanges, the Empress Dowager and Consort Cao's venomous eyes were fixed on Wu Tianjiao.

Feeling helpless and embarrassed under the gaze of these two fierce women, Wu Tianjiao awkwardly stepped forward to greet them. With

the Empress Dowager and Consort Cao's arrival, Princess Wude busied herself adding seats at the banquet and instructing the kitchen to prepare more dishes. However,

Cao Xian'e did not wish to take her seat and went to the courtyard. Princess Wude did not force her, but what troubled her was the Empress

Dowager's seating arrangement. Given her status, the Empress Dowager should naturally sit in the main seat.

However, the main seat was already occupied by the Heavenly Spirit Mother, and it was impossible to ask her to give up her seat. Moreover, given the Heavenly Spirit

Mother 's status, how could she possibly give up her seat for the Empress Dowager? Besides, they had a falling out at the Golden Eagle Tower.

Left with no other choice, Princess Wude had to adopt a compromise: add another main seat, with the Empress Dowager and the Heavenly

Spirit Mother sitting side-by-side at the head of the table. The Empress Dowager didn't take it to heart; her purpose in coming tonight wasn't to see

the Heavenly Spirit Mother. Otherwise, given her temperament, she wouldn't normally sit with her.

Initially, the Empress Dowager's attention was entirely focused on Wu Tianjiao, and she didn't pay much attention to the Heavenly Spirit Mother, nor

did she recognize her. Only after taking her seat did she realize that the beautiful woman sitting next to her looked very familiar, and upon closer inspection, she recognized her

.

The Empress Dowager could hardly believe it; she hadn't expected the Heavenly Spirit Mother, a nun, to be dressed in elegant, simple palace attire instead

of robes. What was going on?

Feeling the Empress Dowager's strange gaze, the Heavenly Spirit Mother blushed and felt a pang of guilt, but

she glared at the Empress Dowager defiantly and said unhappily, "What are you looking at?"

At this moment, Consort Cao also noticed the Heavenly Spirit Mother's change and couldn't help but giggle, saying, "Oh my!

Isn't this the Heavenly Pillar Palace Master, the Holy Mother! Princess! Holy Mother, when did you dress like this? Have you fallen in love

with mortals

to secular life?" Only she would dare to be so disrespectful to the Heavenly Spirit Mother; if it were anyone else, who would dare to be so disrespectful? Despite her shyness, the Holy Mother of Heavenly Spirit

showed no embarrassment, calmly saying, "This Holy Mother is not a nun. I wore the robes only for

convenience when traveling the world. This is my usual attire!"

"Is that so!"

Consort Cao chuckled, her alluring eyes lingering on the Holy Mother of Heavenly Spirit for a moment, then said, "So, Your Majesty is not

a nun , Princess! This is the first time I've heard this. Your Majesty looks

much more beautiful in this attire than in the robes! More like a woman!"

Although the Empress Dowager and the Holy Mother of Heavenly Spirit had a history of conflict, upon hearing Consort Cao's words, she had to agree,

nodding and saying, "Palace Master Tianzhu looks much more like a woman in this attire than in the robes! Eh! Palace Master Tianzhu,

why is your face red?"

"Grandmaster drank a few too many cups, that's why your face is red!"

Princess Wude, fearing the Holy Mother of Heavenly Spirit would be embarrassed, quickly intervened, laughing, "Mother, it's so late,

why are you leaving the palace?"

"Is it late? I don't think so!"

The Empress Dowager said dismissively, glancing at Wu Tianjiao intentionally or unintentionally, then at Princess Tanxue and

Princess , and said calmly, "It's still early. Jin'e and I came out of the palace for you young ones

. I heard His Majesty has already appointed the Golden Knife Consort as the Lord of Fengcheng?"

As she spoke, her gaze lingered on Wu Tianjiao, and she sighed softly.

"My great-aunt already knows!"

Cao Jianqin said happily, "This is great news for us! We're all feeling cooped up in the capital.

It's rare to be able to go out and have some fun. Maybe in three or five years, His Majesty will transfer my husband back to the capital!"

"If that's the case, that would be wonderful!"

The Empress Dowager said with a worried expression, her brows furrowed, "This time, sending the Golden Knife Consort to Fengcheng

was Prince Wu's decision!"

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent. Wu Tianjiao's mind turned serious, and he couldn't help but suddenly...

Standing up, Wu Tianjiao stared at the Empress Dowager and exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty, you're saying... that appointing me as the Lord of Fengcheng

was Wu Wudi's idea?"

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, her face grim, and remained silent. Consort Cao sighed and said to Wu Tianjiao,

"The Empress Dowager and I were also incredulous when we heard His Majesty appoint you as the Lord of Fengcheng. But after

investigating further, we learned that it was all arranged by Prince Wu. His Majesty didn't want you to go to Fengcheng; he

wanted you to stay in the capital and serve as the Commander of the Nine Gates. But the position of Commander of the Nine Gates... seems too unrealistic for you!

Prince Wu firmly disagrees!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood. Wu Tianjiao sighed inwardly; as expected, it was all

Wu Wudi's doing. It seemed that Emperor Xuanhe had been forced to submit due to Wu Wudi's powerful pressure.

Wu Tianjiao smiled and said sternly, "Although Fengcheng is small, even a small city lord is still a city lord,

not necessarily smaller than some Nine Gates Admiral. Hehe! In Fengcheng, we can do whatever we want, like

birds flying freely in the sky, much better than staying in the capital as a Nine Gates Admiral, constantly controlled by others!"

Consort Cao disagreed. The reason she chose Wu Tianjiao as her consort and married her daughter, Princess Tanxiang

, to him was to make it easier for her and Wu Tianjiao to have an affair. But things had changed completely beyond her control.

If Wu Tianjiao left the capital, how could she have an affair? She couldn't possibly fly thousands of miles to Fengcheng to have an affair with Wu

Tianjiao could she? If she could, she really wanted to go to Fengcheng with Wu Tianjiao.

"In a couple of days, the Empress Dowager and I will be going to Xuantian Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. The Imperial

Son-in-Law is going to Fengcheng to take up his post, and he'll be traveling with us. Would the Imperial Son-in-Law like to come along?"

the Empress Dowager said with a smile.

What? Everyone was taken aback. Princess Wude asked in surprise, "Mother, you're going to Xuantian Temple to pray for blessings?

Xuantian Temple is far away in Ziyun Mountain in Beizhou. Why would Mother go so far to burn incense and pray for blessings?

There are many temples near the capital that are much larger than Xuantian Temple!"

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "I'm just going out to relax. Jianqin is right;

staying in the capital for so long is good for relaxation. Otherwise, even if you're not sick, you'll get sick from being cooped up! I've already discussed this with His Majesty.

The Imperial Son-in-Law is going to Fengcheng to take up his post, so he can travel with us."

"But..." Princess Wude was very worried, frowning as she said, "Empress Dowager, the north has been quite unstable lately.

The mountains there are high and the forests dense, and bandits are rampant. On your journey..." "Second Princess, you're overthinking it!"

Consort Cao interrupted, "On this trip to Ziyun Mountain, the Empress Dowager and I will need many guards. Besides,

we are all martial artists; are we afraid of a few mere bandits?"

Hearing their words, Princess Wude knew they must have planned it all along and were determined to go, so she didn't say

anything more. She wondered, "Why go to Ziyun Mountain, a thousand miles away, to burn incense and pray for blessings

? There are so many places to go."

While others couldn't understand why the Empress Dowager and Consort Cao wanted to go to the Xuantian Temple on Ziyun Mountain, Wu Tianjiao understood

. He was moved and involuntarily glanced at Consort Cao, who was also looking at him. Their eyes met,

and Consort Cao blinked several times, her beautiful eyes sparkling with flirtatious glances.

Wu Tianjiao's heart skipped a beat, but he subtly averted his gaze. At this moment, Lady Nightingale stood up, somewhat

embarrassed, and said, "Please continue your meal, everyone. I must excuse myself for a moment!"

With that, she walked with light, delicate steps toward the back hall.

Seeing Lady Nightingale go to relieve herself reminded Wu Tianjiao. He was the only man at the table, and facing so

many women, especially the various gazes of the Heavenly Spirit Mother, the Empress Dowager, and Consort Cao, he

felt uncomfortable, as if sitting on pins and needles, fearing that his affair with them would be exposed. He immediately stood up, smiling, and said, "

Please continue your meal, everyone. I must excuse myself for a moment to relieve myself!"

Without waiting for the women's reply, he strode out of the hall, disappearing quickly.

Seeing Wu Tianjiao leaving in such a hurry, the women assumed he was doing the same as Lady Nightingale, going to the restroom, and didn't think much of it.

However, this was the moment Consort Cao had been waiting for. She couldn't sit still any longer. Seeing Wu Tianjiao leave, she stood up,

smiling, and said, "Please continue your conversation, everyone. I'm going to relieve myself for a bit, I'll be right back!"

With that, she left her seat, swaying her slender waist as she walked into the back hall.

Not only that, but as soon as Consort Cao left, the Heavenly Spirit Mother also stood up, blushing, and said, "Please

enjoy yourselves . This…this Holy Mother cannot hold her liquor, please excuse me!"

With that, she rushed towards the back hall and left as well.

Seeing Lady Nightingale, Wu Tianjiao, Consort Cao, and the Heavenly Spirit Mother leave one after another, everyone

was surprised and exchanged bewildered glances. It's said that everyone has three urgent needs, and except for the Heavenly Spirit Mother, the other three all had theirs at the same time—

what a coincidence!
