Shaohua is Junqing

Siyu returned to Qingfangyuan, and Bai Ruoshu had not left yet.

"Master Xiaobai."

"Princess Shaohua."

"I know that Master Xiaobai wants to go to the hot spring palace together, so I went to ask the prince, and the prince has agreed to take you with him."

"That's great, thank you, my lord."

"It's a small matter. Master Xiaobai, you don't have to be polite. Go back and prepare."

"Yes, Anan, I'm leaving now. I'll pick you up later."

"You don't need to answer it. The prince asked you to go. I won't say anything. Just don't cause trouble for me."

"I promise I won't cause any trouble."

"Okay, go ahead."

Siyu found it very interesting to watch the two of them bickering.

Three days later, Beitang Mo Ran took Si Yu to the hot spring palace. In addition to Cai Die, Su Xun Xian, Chu Sheng Nan and Bai Ruo Shu, there were also some servants and maids. Si Yu was very afraid of the cold, so she wore a thick cotton coat and a fox fur cape on the outside, sitting in the carriage with a hand warmer in her hand.

The group went out of the north gate and headed northeast.

"Your Highness Prince Chen, Princess Shaohua, and everyone." Steward Cao of the Hot Spring Palace knew that they were coming today, so he was waiting outside the gate early.

"Are you all ready?"

"Your Highness, everything is ready. Let's eat first and then take a hot spring bath."

Beitang Mo Ran nodded slightly, then led everyone into the palace.

Manager Cao led Beitang Mo Ran, Si Yu and others to Lingmei Pavilion for dinner, while the other entourage were arranged to eat elsewhere. After Si Yu drank two bowls of hot soup, she didn't feel so cold anymore. After the meal, the attendants and maids led them to the men's and women's baths for bathing.

Siyu took off her thick clothes and put on only her close-fitting undershirt. Just as she was about to enter the bathing pool, she saw Chu Shengnan and Caidie standing there motionless, so she said, "Aren't you going to take a hot spring bath?"

"This is the royal hot spring. I am not allowed to bathe here without the emperor's permission." Chu Shengnan said.

"I am just a servant girl, so I don't have the qualifications."

"I thought that was the reason. There's no outsider here, just the three of us. If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Don't waste time." Siyu said and walked into the hot spring pool.

The warm water flowed over her whole body, moisturizing every inch of her skin and driving away the coldness in her body. Siyu felt much more comfortable.

After a while, Siyu still didn't see Chu Shengnan and Caidie coming to bathe, so she asked, "Am I the princess? Are you my personal guards and my personal maids?"

"Yes, Princess." The two replied.

"Then do you listen to what I say?"

"If the princess has any order, I will obey it."

"I also obey."

"Well, I now order you to take a hot spring bath with me. You are not to disobey me."

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys your order."

"The slaves obey."

"That's right, hurry up."

Chu Shengnan and Caidie then walked into the hot spring pool, and the three of them started playing in the warm water.

After bathing, Siyu asked, "General Chu, can you play Go?"

"I know a little bit."

"That's great. I'm learning it recently. How about we play a game?"

"Okay, I will accompany you."

Caidie brought the chessboard and the two started playing chess.

Beitang Mo Ran finished his bath early, thinking about Si Yu, but she had not come back for a long time. He was worried that something had happened to her, so he went to the women's bath to find her.

He came to the door of the women's bath and saw that the light was still on inside, so he called out, "Siyu."

"It's the prince. Caidie." She motioned Caidie to go out and take a look.

Caidie put on a cloak and came out of the door.

"Your Majesty."

"Is the princess in there?"

"Yes, I am playing chess with General Chu."

"Please tell the princess that if there is nothing else, go back to your room and rest early. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Yes, my lord. I will tell the princess."

"Okay, I'll leave first." He felt relieved knowing that Siyu was fine.

"My lord, walk slowly."

Caidie returned to the room.

"What did the prince say?"

"The prince asked me to tell the princess that if she has nothing else to do, she should go back to her room and rest early. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Is the prince gone?"

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go back too."

Siyu returned to her room and had a comfortable sleep.
