  Chapter 400 Bathing

  Yaohua Palace.

  The decoration in the hall is luxurious and resplendent.

  Nangong Huoyue led them into the living room, ordered the servant girls to serve tea and snacks, and at the same time ordered people to go to the imperial dining room to prepare lunch.

   Nangong Xiaorui felt uncomfortable all over, and whispered to Prince Duan: "Father, I want to take a bath, and my clothes are all sweaty."

  Nangong Huoyue smiled and said: "I have already asked the maid to prepare hot water."

   Nangong Xiaorui hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you, sister Huang."

  Nangong Huoyue looked at Lord Duan and said: "Uncle Duan, I heard that you like poems and Danqing. I happen to have a few good works in my study. I will take Uncle Wang to have a look."

  When Prince Duan heard this, his heart itched unbearably, and he said with a smile on his face: "Okay, let's go and see."

  The two left the living room and went to the study.

  In the living room, only Nangong Xiaorui, Nangong Meijiao and Luo Qingzhou were left.

   Others are not eligible to come in.

At this time, Nangong Xiaorui let out a sigh of relief, stuck out her tongue, and said in a low voice: "Sister Meijiao, Miss Huang's aura is so terrifying, I dare not speak when she is here, I feel that it is difficult to vent my anger. No wonder my father often said that people who have been on the battlefield can be easily distinguished from those who have not. I didn't believe it before, but now I know it's true."

Nangong Meijiao took a look outside and said: "She was held in the palm of the late emperor since she was a child, even the queen mother did not dare to criticize her. Majesty has been cultivated since she was a child, and her aura has been cultivated after so many years of fighting. Human pressure."

  Nangong Xiaorui said quietly: "I don't want to eat with Sister Huang, it's too uncomfortable. Sister Meijiao, how about we go to Changle to eat?"

  Changle is the youngest princess. She is about the same age as her and usually plays together.

   Nangong Meijiao said: "Go and ask your father first."

  Nangong Xiaorui curled her lips and said, "It's better not to ask him."

   Then he turned his head to look at the person next to him, and said, "Luo Qingzhou, you sneaked away with the princess, okay?"

  Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Princess, I have no status, so I can't walk around in the palace."

  Nangong Xiaorui thought for a while, and said: "That's right, you can't go to Changle, if you are found by the guards, you will be beaten to death."

Then he said strangely: "By the way, Luo Qingzhou, how did you come here just now? Shouldn't you go with Shi Zi and the others to eat with the eunuchs and maids? You are not qualified to come here to eat, wait If you are asked by the imperial sister later, you will be miserable."

   Nangong Meijiao on the side said: "Xiaorui, I asked him to come here."

  Nangong Xiaorui looked at her and said, "Sister Meijiao, Luo Qingzhou doesn't have royal status, and he's still a young man, so he can't come here casually."

   Nangong Meijiao glanced at someone and said, "It's okay, I'll explain it to him later."

  At this time, two maids came in and said respectfully: "You two princesses, the water has been boiled, you can go take a bath."

  Nangong Xiaorui was feeling uncomfortable all over. Hearing that she was about to go out, she suddenly pointed to Luo Qingzhou and said, "Can he take a bath here? He stinks so much, it won't be good to suffocate Miss Huang later."

  One of the maids said respectfully: "Yes, there is a separate room outside where you can take a bath."

   Then he looked at Luo Qingzhou and said, "My lord, please."

   Nangong Xiaorui suddenly remembered and said: "By the way, Luo Qingzhou, you don't seem to have any clothes with you."

   Then he giggled and said: "I still have girls' clothes here, if you don't mind, I can lend you one to wear."

  Luo Qingzhou said: "Thank you Princess, no need."

  At this time, Nangong Meijiao suddenly took out another black suit from her body, handed it to him, looked at him, and did not speak.

  Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment, met her gaze, and took it in his hand.

  Nangong Meijiao went straight out the door.

  Seeing this scene, Nangong Xiaorui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly whispered: "Luo Qingzhou, are you really sister Meijiao's cousin-in-law? Why do I feel that you are his best friend?"

   "Xiao Rui, let's go!"

   Nangong Meijiao shouted outside.

"oh oh."

  Nangong Xiaorui ran out immediately.

   "Young master, please."

  When Luo Qingzhou was staring at the clothes in his hand in a daze, the maid yelled again.

  It was only then that he came to his senses, and followed the maid out of the palace.

  The court lady led him through the promenade, and through a garden, to a water pavilion at the back.

  Luo Qingzhou saw the picturesque surroundings, quiet and elegant, not like ordinary residences, so he couldn't help asking: "Is there anyone living here?"

   "Squeak..."

  The palace maid opened the door and said respectfully: "My lord, please come in. The hot water is ready. There is no one living here for the time being. Your Highness will come here occasionally to enjoy the scenery outside by the flowing water."

  Luo Qingzhou heard the words, and then entered the room, and saw that the room had pink curtains, soft carpets, bead curtains and painted screens, and even an incense bed covered by curtains. Obviously, it was once a woman's residence.

  The palace lady seemed to see his doubts, and explained: "There used to be a palace lady who lived here and was responsible for cleaning the attic here, but she has left now. You just need to take a bath, no one will come."

  Luo Qingzhou took another look at the room before walking behind the screen.

  The tub has been brought in and filled with hot water.

  Pink petals floated on the water, and bursts of fragrance wafted up, filling the entire room.

  The court lady stretched out her snow-white hand, tested the temperature of the water, then bowed her head and said respectfully: "My lord, do you need a servant to rub your back?"

  Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said, "No, you can go out, I can wash it myself."

  The palace maid said: "If you need it, young master, just call your servant, and the servant will guard outside."

   After finishing speaking, he backed out and closed the door.

  Luo Qingzhou glanced at the surrounding windows again, then put down the new clothes Nangong Meijiao gave him, then took off his clothes, shoes and socks, and entered the bathtub.

  Wrapped in the gentle and fragrant water, he felt so comfortable that he couldn't help moaning.

  He reached out and untied the bun, buried his whole head in the clear water full of petals, and washed his hair first.

  Long hair is difficult to wash.

  Many times, he wanted to take a pair of scissors and cut off the hair directly, but he didn't dare to do it.

  He sank his head and whole body into the water, rubbing and washing his hair at the bottom of the bucket.

  With his current cultivation base, even if he holds his breath underwater for half an hour, there is no problem.

  But he didn't dare to stay in this kind of place for too long.

  After washing his hair, he emerged from the water, rubbed his face, and reached out to take soap from the table next to him to wash his body.

  Yanzi is equivalent to the current soap. It can not only decontaminate, but also add spices such as sweet-scented osmanthus, which smells very fragrant.

   But he stretched out his hand but got nothing.

  He froze for a moment, then turned his head to look, just before he undressed and entered the bathtub, he clearly saw a piece of soap on the table, why did it suddenly disappear now?

  At this moment, there was a faint sound of breathing and a soft voice from behind: "My lord, I will wash it for you."

   Immediately, a cold little hand held the soap and touched his back.

  Luo Qingzhou turned his head to look, and behind him was not the maid, nor other maids, but a flower bone with a pink tulle, skin as white as milk, and a beautiful face.

Seeing him looking over, Huagu bit her pink lips lightly, looked at him with watery eyes, and said timidly: "Mr. Luo, didn't you scare you? My family missed you, that's why I sneaked in. I'm sorry... "

  Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment, grabbed the soap from her hand, and said with a sullen face, "Go out, you don't need to wash it."

Hua Gu lowered her head, lowered her long eyelashes, tears rolled down her snow-white and delicate cheeks, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Luo, do you hate Hua Gu so much? Young master, if you talk about it, can't you fulfill Hua Gu's little wish?"

Looking at her tears and pitiful appearance, Luo Qingzhou frowned, and said in a slow tone: "I can wash it myself. Girl Huagu, you don't have to do this. I'm a family man. I can't make any promises to you, and I don't want to have anything to do with you, you should understand."

Hua Gu raised his head, with tears in his eyes, and said pitifully, "Young Master, Hua Gu just admires you and likes you, not because he wants you to make any promises to Hua Gu. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Hua Gu just wants to see and talk to you more, if... if you are willing to take pity on Hua Gu, and if you don’t despise Hua Gu, Hua Gu is willing to serve you... Hua Gu doesn’t want any status , and will not mention it to anyone, Hua Gu just wants to use the rest of his life to do what he likes, to love the person he likes..."

  After hearing this, Luo Qingzhou was silent for a while, handed her the soap in his hand, and said, "Then just rub my back for me, and leave after rubbing my back."

  Hua Gu wiped away the tears on his face, took the soap, and showed a happy smile on his face: "Thank you son..."

  Luo Qingzhou didn't look at her again, turned around, leaned against the bathtub, closed his eyes, and exposed his back.

  Hua Guyu held the pancreas in his hand, slowly rubbed it on his back, and said softly, "Master, have you ever eaten nectar?"

  Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment, closed his eyes and said, "I've eaten."

   Hua Gu helped him beat the soap with one hand, and gently rubbed his back with the other, and said, "Do you think the nectar is sweet?"

  Luo Qingzhou said: "Of course sweet."

The flowery and soft jade hand ran along his shoulder, to his neck, and then along his neck, to his mouth, stretched out a slender jade finger, put it on his lips, and said softly: " Young master, you have to taste the taste of the slave family, the slave family is sweeter than flower honey."

  Luo Qingzhou's lips touched her slender fingers, and he only smelled a very special fragrance of flowers, but did not taste any sweetness.

  He felt that this girl was a little too aggressive.

   "Flower bone girl, you can go."

  He opened his eyes, turned his head and said.

   Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, a small soft mouth suddenly blocked his mouth.

   "Plop!"

  The softness of the gauze faded away, and she suddenly entered the bathtub.

   "Master, the flowers are very sweet..."
