Chapter 400

Yaohua Palace.

The palace is luxuriously decorated and magnificent.

Nangong Huoyue took them into the living room, ordered the maids 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, my clothes are soaked with sweat."

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

Nangong Xiaorui quickly said respectfully: "Thank you, Sister Huang."

Nangong Huoyue looked at Prince Duan and said, "Uncle Duan Wang, I heard that you like poetry and paintings. 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, he suddenly felt itchy and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, let's go and have a look."

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 Xiaoruifang breathed a sigh of relief, stuck out her tongue, and whispered: "Sister Meijiao, Sister Huang's aura is so terrifying. She is here, and I don't even dare to speak. It's hard to vent my anger. No wonder my father often said that you can tell the difference between those who have been on the battlefield and those who have not been on the battlefield. I didn’t believe it at first, but now I know it is true.”

Nangong Meijiao glanced outside and said: "She has been held in the palm of the late Emperor's hand 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 momentum has been developed after so many years of battles. She will naturally give it to People are under pressure.”

Nangong Xiaorui whispered: "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 similar in age and they usually play together.

Nangong Meijiao said: "You should ask your father first."

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

Then he turned to look at the person next to him and said, "Luo Qingzhou, sneak away with me, okay?"

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Princess, I have no identity and cannot wander around the palace."

Nangong Xiaorui thought for a while and said, "That's right, you can't go to Changle. If the guards find out, you will be beaten to death."

Then he asked strangely: "By the way, Luo Qingzhou, why did you come here just now? Aren't you supposed to go with Shi Zi and the others to eat with the eunuchs and maids? You are not qualified to come here to eat. If you are asked about it by the imperial sister later, you will be in trouble."

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

Nangong Xiaorui looked at her and said, "Sister Meijiao, Luo Qingzhou does not have royal status, and he is still a young man. He cannot come here casually."

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

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

Nangong Xiaorui was feeling uncomfortable all over. She was about to go out after hearing this, when she suddenly pointed at Luo Qingzhou and said, "Can he take a bath here? He smells so bad. It won't be good for the Emperor's sister if he smells it later."

One of the palace maids said respectfully: "Yes, there is a separate room outside for bathing."

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

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

Then he smiled and said: "I also have girls' clothes here. If you don't mind, I can lend you one to wear."

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

At this time, Nangong Meijiao suddenly took out another black outfit from her body and handed it to him. She looked at him without saying a word.

Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, looked into her eyes, and took it in his hand.

Nangong Meijiao went out directly.

Nangong Xiaorui was stunned when she saw this scene, and suddenly whispered: "Luo Qingzhou, are you really Sister Meijiao's cousin-in-law? Why do I think you are his best friend?"

"Xiao Rui, let's go!"

Nangong Meijiao shouted outside.

"oh oh."

Nangong Xiaorui ran out immediately.

"Sir, please."

When Luo Qingzhou was looking at the clothes in his hands in a daze, the palace maid shouted again.

Only then did he react and followed the palace maid out of the palace.

The palace maid took him through the corridor and then through a garden to a waterside pavilion at the back.

Luo Qingzhou saw the picturesque scenery around him, which was quiet and elegant, unlike ordinary residences. He couldn't help but ask, "Is anyone living here?"

"Squeak..."

The palace maid opened the door and said respectfully: "Sir, please come in. The hot water is ready. No one lives here for the time being. Your Highness will come occasionally to look at the scenery outside by the water."

After hearing this, Luo Qingzhou entered the room and saw that the room had pink curtains, soft carpets, bead curtains and screens, and even a fragrant bed covered by a curtain. It was obvious that it was once the residence of a woman.

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

Luo Qingzhou looked at the room again before walking behind the screen.

The bathtub has been brought in and is filled with hot water.

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

The palace maid stretched out her snow-white hands, tested the temperature of the water, then lowered her head and said respectfully: "Master, do you need your maid to help you rub your back?"

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

The palace maid said: "Master, if you need anything, just call me my slave. I will be guarding you outside."

After saying that, 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.

My body was wrapped in the gentle and fragrant water, and I felt so comfortable that I couldn't help but moan.

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

Long hair is difficult to clean.

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

His head and whole body sank into the water, and he was scrubbing his hair at the bottom of the bucket.

With his current level of cultivation, there would be no problem even if he could hold his breath underwater for half an hour.

But he didn't dare to stay in a place like this.

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

Yazi is equivalent to today's soap. It can not only remove stains, but also contains sweet-scented osmanthus and other spices, which smells very fragrant.

But when he reached out, he found nothing.

He was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look. Just before he took off his clothes and entered the bathtub, he clearly saw a piece of soap on the table. Why was it suddenly missing now?

At this moment, a faint breathing sound and a soft voice suddenly came from behind: "Sir, I will help you wash it."

Immediately, a cold little hand holding a pancake touched his back.

Luo Qingzhou turned his head and looked around. Behind him was not the palace maid, nor any other maid, but a flower-like figure wearing a pink tulle, with skin as white as milk and a charming face.

Seeing him looking over, Hua Gu bit her pink lips gently, looked at him with watery eyes, and said timidly: "Master Luo, didn't I scare you? I missed you, so I sneaked in. I'm sorry... …”

Luo Qingzhou stiffened for a moment, snatched the pancreas from her hand, and said with a serious face: "Get out, you don't need to wash it."

Hua Gu lowered his head, lowered his long eyelashes, and tears suddenly fell down from his beautiful snow-white cheeks. He said in a trembling voice: "Master Luo, do you hate Hua Gu so much? Hua Gu just wants to rub the master's back, and wants to talk to him. Young Master, please tell me, can’t you fulfill Hua Gu’s little wish?”

Luo Qingzhou looked at her tears and pitiful look, frowned, and said in a slow tone: "I can just wash it myself. Girl Huagu, you don't have to do this, I am 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: "Sir, Hua Gu just admires you and likes you, not to ask you to make any promise to Hua Gu. Hua Gu knows that he is destined to die soon, and he will not be wishful thinking. I want to be with the young master for the rest of my life. I just want to see the young master more and more. Talk to the young master, if... if the young master is willing to take pity on Hua Gu and not despise Hua Gu, Hua Gu is willing to serve the young master... Hua Gu does not want any status, and will not mention it to anyone. Hua Gu just wants to use the leftovers. Live your life, do what you like, love the people you like..."

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

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

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