It has been seven days, since Han Lingshi passed her tribulation and she was now consolidating her realm. In the meantime, Hao Ren had bought a small nice courtyard in the capital city and was refurbishing the house with the modern appliances and arrays that he thought would be useful. He was tired of the life in the palace. So he decided to put up an act. He was going to disguise himself and live in this courtyard with his wife. The palace was going to be there work place. The people in the palace were against this, but once Hao Ren glared at them with a cold smile, everyone understood that it was a lost cause. Hao Mei was sitting in the study room and held her forehead as she said, "This kid is going to play a hands off shopkeeper again." Maya and the rest had a helpless smile on their faces. Initially they believed Han Lingshi would be able to tell him otherwise, but not only did the young lady agreed, she even participated with enthusiasm. Until and unless a war breaks out, or their is some tragedy that involves multiple people, they were not to be disturbed at night. Hao Ren said, that if there was an issue that they cannot handle, they could use Xiao Mei as the relay but they should not be disturbed unless it was absolutely necessary. At this moment he stood inside the courtyard with his hands crossed behind his back as he watched the place liven up. He smiled at Yin and Yang, who worked along with him, and asked, "What do you think?" Yang nodded and said, "I like my room." Yin thought for a bit and said, "Just the lights are a bit too bright." Hao Ren walked up to her side and poked her nose as he said, "Nitpicker." Yin stuck out her tongue to tease him and the young man tickled her. After a few minutes, Han Lingshi also came over. She was surprised to see how Hao Ren had turned this ancient courtyard into a modern glass and wood villa. Hao Ren reached out for her hand and asked, "Madam, would you like a tour of the place?" Han Lingshi smiled and held his hand as they toured the house. There was a living room, attached to an open kitchen and dining area. The ground floor had two bed rooms, and one guest room with bathrooms of their own. In the city, drainage, and sewage was very important and they had upgraded the infrastructure. The rain water was to be harvested and filtered to meet the drinking needs. The people in the cities were all cultivators, their waste was carbonized at high pressure and hot flames before the carbonized powder was disposed in deep barren pits, with organic waste and used for fertilization process. On the first floor of the house, there were four rooms, two cultivation rooms, one battle training room, and one study. The house was surrounded by a mini garden on front and back, and they had two neighbours. Han Lingshi was sitting in the living room, where she saw a TV, and asked, "What are we going to watch here?" *Ding: Host, organize a housewarming party and invite at least five neighboring families to meet the standard.* Hao Ren took in a deep breath, as he greeted the people with a smile and bowed to them slightly as he introduced himself. The men in the surroundings were surprised to find a young couple moving in next to them. Hao Ren found out their identities before moving in, but he still went along with proper introductions. One of the men called, Yan Xinwang, "Well, I am a few years older than you, I will call you little brother Hao. Can you tell me who made your house? I have never seen such a beautiful house in my life." Hao Ren smiled and replied, "I made it myself. I am an architect." The people were surprised, and they began to ask him many questions. Hao Ren did not make up any non-sense. He answered all the questions patiently. Suddenly, he said, "Big Brothers, how about you bring your families over to my place for dinner tonight? Tomorrow is a day off, we can relax and get to know each other." The men hesitated, and Hao Ren noticed this as he said, "My wife is an official in the palace, I assure you that I have the best wine in the city after the people in the Palace." This was the best way to deal with men, they loved wine and meat. The appointment was set, and Hao Ren went inside the kitchen to cook up a storm. He knew how many guests would be there and so, he cooked up enough food for the people. He informed Han Lingshi about this, and the lady came back early. However, she was still looking tired, there were many things that she needed to handle as the queen. It was anything but a walk in the park. Hao Ren came to the door, led her inside, took off her shoes and then carried her to the couch, where he used his palms to warm up her feet and massage them as well. Han Lingshi sighed and said, "Ren, you know how hard it is to be the Queen?" Hao Ren smile and replied, "That is why I wanted to stay here. When we think of something as our job, it becomes easy to handle it rather than destiny." Han Lingshi nodded and asked, "How did you get to know about the neighbors?" Hao Ren smiled and said, "They saw me sending you off in the morning and were curious to see our house. So, I managed to invite them over." Han Lingshi nodded and spoke in a high manner, "Concubine Hao, you have pleased the Crown. Tell us, what do you want?" Hao Ren was surprised, and then he acted along. He put on a feminine expression and said, "Your Majesty, the night is long and the fire burns strong. This concubine wishes to serve you well." It was Han Lingshi's turned to be shocked, and unlike her, Hao Ren did not give her much time to react. He picked her up in his arms and took her to the bedroom where spring blossomed.
