The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby
Chapter 87 Bathing
Gu Wuhuan left irresponsibly.
Hua Xiyu was stunned. What should I do?
Jingxiyuan, right? Since there is a bathroom, what are you waiting for? Even if you don’t let me go, I will go anyway.
She carried her bag, which contained some spare underwear, and all her other things were in the West Flower Hall. She rushed up to the roof in a few steps. Since there was a bathroom in Jingxi Courtyard, it must be the largest and most luxurious one in the palace, and should be easy to find.
While the gatekeeper wasn't paying attention, he slipped in.
"It's so fucking big!" Hua Xiyu was surprised. He had the impression that his family was quite wealthy and the bathroom at home was more than ten square meters. But this one was at least fifty or sixty square meters, almost as big as a small swimming pool. It was truly royal and luxurious.
There were candles lit all around the bathroom, and the candlelight was quite bright. Several maids quickly gathered around and prepared to help with bathing. Hua Xiyu was shocked by the scene. It was just a bath, why make such a big fuss.
The maids all knew that the men who could bathe in the prince's bathroom were either the prince's confidants or distinguished guests, and the women were there to sleep with the prince. Regardless of whether they were men or women, the maids could not neglect them.
If they serve well and are noticed by a master, they will be directly awarded to him, either as a concubine or a maid, which is always better than being a slave. Moreover, there will be rewards for those who serve the master's guests well.
In a place like this, there is no gender, only hierarchy.
However, the prince had not yet married a princess, and had never had maids serve him. Chengyuyuan was only used once by Master Gu five years ago, and that was only because he was so dirty after treating a patient that he was allowed to use it. Since the two young masters came, no outsiders have set foot in it.
Especially Jing Xiyuan, except for the prince, no outsider has ever come here. Today is the first time, so this person's identity is obviously extraordinary.
There were also maids who tried to get close to the prince by pretending to help him bathe. In the end, those people were either killed by Jie'an with a sword through the chest or sold directly.
The maids in the prince's room have been replaced batch after batch. The current ones, Caiping and Kou'er, entered Jingxi Courtyard only last year. They are still young and have not yet developed some inappropriate thoughts. Only then did Steward Lin feel at ease to leave them by the prince's side.
The maids don't think so. As long as they serve in the master's room, they assume that they are the master's women. However, the prince has a strange temperament. He is in his twenties and seems to be stupid. He has never been interested in even a beautiful woman like his cousin, let alone these skinny little girls. He never even looks at them.
Hua Xiyu was frightened by the attentiveness of these little maids. How to describe it? It was a bit like a hungry wolf smelling meat. They all pounced on her fiercely, until she finally got very angry and drove all the maids away.
I soaked freely in the bathtub for more than an hour and almost fell asleep. In a daze, I felt hungry.
She climbed out of the bath reluctantly. After soaking in the warm water for so long, her whole body felt weak. She took out her underwear from her bag and put them on. Only then did she realize sadly that she had no ancient clothes to replace. She had no choice but to put on her original outfit. However, she really didn't want to.
She crumpled up the dirty clothes she had just taken off, opened the door, and handed them to the person outside: "Sister, please throw these clothes away and find me a set of replacement clothes."
Someone outside took the clothes and left, and I don't know if he heard my request to find her another set of clothes.
She dried her hair. Short hair was easy to take care of. She didn't know how long she had been out. If she were in the city, she would have gone to the barber shop again. Now, she had to grow her hair long and wait for it to grow longer.
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, she put a mask on herself, painted herself in men's clothes, and put on a hat. She checked carefully and found that except for the lack of ancient costume, everything else met the requirements of the ancients. Except for the face and hands, her arms, legs and neck were all wrapped tightly, without exposing any part that should not be exposed.
The nights in late summer and early autumn are already a little chilly, so this outfit is just right.
After everything was ready, she pushed open the bathroom door. There seemed to be no one outside. Only then did she realize that this was actually a bedroom. Judging from its luxury, it should be the master's room, with a large bed made of carved golden nanmu wood and a row of bookshelves on the inner side.
"What a fucking way to enjoy myself", Hua Xiyu sneered in his heart as he walked towards the bed. The soft velvet quilt on the bed made him want to jump on it and have a long and comfortable sleep. There was a teapot and a water cup on the table in the room. Not far from the bed was a large wardrobe. Without thinking, he went straight to the wardrobe, opened it, and found a set of clothes that suited him. No matter what, he had to cover the gun on his waist.
Liu Jingcheng returned to the palace with a depressed look on his face. He handed the two children to Chunliu and was about to go to his own yard. Butler Lin came up to him and said, "Master, Young Master Gu has been waiting in the West Flower Hall for a long time." As he walked into the West Flower Hall, the haze in his heart had dissipated, because Gu Wuhuan was his cousin.
Gu Wuhuan is the son of his cousin Miao Jiawen, who is the daughter of his aunt Mei Ruoxue.
Mei Ruoxue is the eldest daughter of the Mei family. She is a sister of Liu Jingcheng's mother Mei Shumin and is Liu Jingcheng's aunt.
Mei Ruoxue married Miao Qixiu, the son of the Minister of Works, at the age of 16, and gave birth to Miao Jiawen the following year. When Miao Jiawen was five years old, Mrs. Mei gave birth to her youngest daughter, Mei Shumin, at the age of 18. She treasured her daughters as treasures. The two sisters were years apart in age, and the aunt was five years younger than her niece.
Miao Jiawen married Gu Zhengxian, the left vice minister of the Ministry of Works, at the age of 16. The year Mei Shumin entered the palace at the age of 16, Lan Jiawen gave birth to Gu Wuhuan, and three years later, Liu Jingcheng was born.
Gu Wuhuan is the eldest son of the Gu family. He is three years older than Liu Jingcheng. Although they are of different generations, they are of similar age.
Miao Jiawen would often bring her son to the palace to visit her aunt, with the intention of currying favor with her. Gu Wuhuan had liked this little cousin since he was a child. As he grew older, he felt a little reluctant to call a little kid his cousin. He felt very sympathetic towards this little cousin who had always been sick. Even the imperial doctors were helpless. Gu Wuhuan vowed to learn medical skills to cure his cousin's illness, and from then on he became fascinated with studying medicine.
Later, Liu Jingcheng was taken away by a Taoist priest, but Gu Wuhuan did not stop learning. Over the years, he learned a lot of skills and his medical skills were even better than those of the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
However, both the Miao and Gu families were later affected by the Mei family's case. They were often suppressed and excluded by their colleagues and superiors in the officialdom. Minister Miao had no choice but to apply for retirement and return to his hometown on the grounds of old age. He died of depression in his hometown less than half a year later. Miao Qixiu also returned to his hometown Dingyou with Mei Ruoxue to attend the funeral. The Miao family fell into decline.
As for the Gu family, if it weren't for Gu Wuhuan's medical skills being sought after, the Gu family might have fallen into decline like the Miao family.
As he grew older, and when Liu Jingcheng returned, Gu Wuhuan became more resistant to calling Liu Jingcheng his cousin. He was obviously younger than me, but he was older than me in seniority. He was not convinced. But there was nothing he could do. Gu Wuhuan felt suffocated when he thought about this, and now he has accepted his fate.
At this time, Gu Wuhuan was sitting in the West Flower Hall drinking tea leisurely, Caiping was waiting attentively beside him. When he saw Liu Jingcheng coming in, he came up to him with a smile, and without saying anything else, he grabbed Liu Jingcheng's hand and said, "Let me feel your pulse first."
"How disrespectful!" Liu Jingcheng said angrily.
"Who is older and who is younger?" Gu Wuhuan was unconvinced.
"I am your cousin," said Liu Jingcheng.
"I am three years older than you." He still refused to accept the fact. He had tried his best since childhood but failed to change his seniority.
"Let me see when you will die?" Gu Wuhuan grabbed Liu Jingcheng's hand angrily and said while taking his pulse.
After the two of them sat down, Liu Jingcheng did not speak. He let the master feel his pulse. He told him to take care of his body before his mother was found. Since the master said that the savior had come, he felt that he would soon be out of suffering. He thought of the horseless carriage, the words his master had said, that a horseless carriage could move on its own, and that woman.
"No big problem, just a little tired," Gu Wuhuan said with a smile after checking the pulse of both hands, "I guess you have already eaten in the palace, go take a shower and rest, I'm going back now."
"Hey, you're so easy to talk to today." Liu Jingcheng muttered to himself.
Gu Wuhuan was about to step out of the West Flower Hall when he heard this murmur. He turned back and said mysteriously, "Uncle, are you ready to eat meat? Do you want me to teach you a few tricks?"
Liu Jingcheng looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he was talking about.
"Lin Da" Gu Wuhuan called out these two words and left happily. He wanted to go see his little cousin.
There is a huge distance between cousins. Even uncles are cousins, so how close can these cousins be? But Gu Wuhuan just likes them and feels sorry for these motherless children.
"What is Linda?" Liu Jingcheng muttered to himself and walked slowly towards Jingxi Courtyard. He had been running around all day and needed a good bath.
Outside the gate of Jingxi Courtyard, the night watch guards stood straight. Inside the courtyard, the maids guarding the gate straightened up and perked up when they saw the prince coming. Liu Jingcheng didn't even look at the people at the door and walked straight in. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Hua Xiyu rummaging through his wardrobe.
"You~~" He just wanted to ask who you are, because he had rushed all the way back to welcome the emperor and pretended to be sick in the palace, and completely forgot about Hua Xiyu.
At this moment, looking at his clothes, she knew that this was Hua Xiyu, but the light in the room was too dim, his clothes had changed, and his disguise had gone, so Hua Xiyu didn't recognize him for a moment. She just thought he was a guard in the palace, just like those maids and guards.
"Hi" she greeted him out of habit, feeling that she was being very friendly, "Please come over and help me" She waved to Liu Jingcheng and tilted her head, motioning him to follow.
Liu Jingcheng came over obediently.
At this time, Hua Xiyu was wearing a knitted high-necked long-sleeved black T-shirt that wrapped her body tightly, black tight jeans, and a red belt that seemed to be tied across her slender waist. She had a gun on her waist, which looked a bit unsightly. Liu Jingcheng was still a little uncomfortable with this outfit.
Hua Xiyu had men's makeup on her face. It looked like she had forgotten to bind her chest, or she didn't have the cloth straps to bind her chest? Fortunately, the light in the room was too dim, and she was dressed in black, so it was impossible to see clearly unless you got close.
She actually just forgot about the chest wrapping, and was a little unskilled in putting on men's clothes, so she thought that covering her face would complete her makeup. But she did pass the chest wrapping cloth along with the clothes.
Liu Jingcheng looked at this hazy and charming figure, his breathing stagnated, his whole body tensed up, he wanted to turn around and leave, but he couldn't move his feet. He was clearly turning around to walk out, but why did he walk over obediently, his gait was quite unnatural, he almost moved his hands and feet at the same time, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Can I help you?"
He was surprised at his own voice. What happened? This ugly woman actually ran into my room.
"Please help me find a set of clothes. The clothes in this closet are too big and I can't wear them." Hua Xiyu placed a closet of clothes in front of him and picked for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable piece.
Liu Jingcheng didn't even look at the closet. He knew there was nothing suitable. Without noticing, she actually ran to her bedroom to find clothes to wear. Judging from her appearance, she should have just finished bathing. Needless to say, the bathtub had been used by her. There was something gnawing at my heart, and the feeling was indescribable.
He approached her, not knowing whether to scold her or to accommodate her. Apart from the maidservants, no one else had ever entered his bedroom. This woman came in so blatantly on her first day, used his bathroom, and even rummaged through his clothes. He felt very uncomfortable, but couldn't say it.
The image of the woman he had pulled out of the water flashed through his mind again. Her white body was almost completely naked before his eyes. The touch of the kiss on his cheek and lips was still fresh in his mind. Was this the woman who had come to take responsibility for him?
He felt her caressing his palms. Has his luck in love really arrived?
"These are all men's clothes, not suitable for you." He stood beside her, smelled the faint feminine scent on her, felt a little intoxicated, and blurted out the words completely ignoring her men's attire.
"I think so too. What should I do now?" She had discovered this fact a long time ago, but she just kept looking for it unwillingly. The people outside the door did not bring her clothes, and she had no choice.
"Why are you here?" Liu Jingcheng asked.
"Alas... This, it's all tears to talk about it." Hua Xiyu started to deceive people, and briefly described how he was deceived into coming to the palace. Finally, he said: "I haven't eaten yet, and I don't have a place to sleep. Tell me, am I miserable?"
"Don't you know the prince?" Liu Jingcheng thought she had recognized him a long time ago, but he didn't expect that she didn't know.
"Should I know him? I've never even met him, but I was tricked into coming here to work as a farmhand. But, no matter what your name is, are you also his guard?" Hua Xiyu gave up looking for clothes, turned around and sat on the bed, waiting for the maid to bring him clothes. He was now tired and hungry.
"Guard? Don't you recognize me? You..." Liu Jingcheng continued speaking along with her words. Seeing that she actually fell on her bed, the corners of her mouth twitched. He wanted to call her, but finally held back.
"Me? Linda, just call me Linda." She turned over and sat up, saying carelessly.
"Lian De?" What a strange name. Wasn't it Hua Xiyu before? Now it has become "Lian De". Interesting.
