The sun slowly sets and the moon climbs up the branches.

As the year draws to a close, the Ministry of Revenue becomes much busier, and Yinzhen has not accompanied Xiyu for dinner for three consecutive days.

Xiyu had dinner alone. The weather was getting colder, so before going to bed she thought about taking a bath in the warm room to drive away the cold.

As you walk into the warm room, a wave of hot steam hits you in the face and instantly fills the entire space.

The hazy mist made her vision blurred, as if she was in a fairyland.

Xiyu gently took off her clothes, stepped into the bath, and felt the water temperature gradually wrapping around her body.

She squinted her eyes comfortably and immersed her whole body in the water, letting the warm water cover her neck.

The water gently caressed her skin, taking away the fatigue in her body.

Only at this time is she most relaxed.

Drops of water slid down her fair skin, and the water gave off a light medicinal smell.

As her health gets better, the characteristics of ginseng will become more and more obvious. This is the special feature of the ginseng family.

Just like now, just taking a bath would stimulate her medicinal properties.

“In the spring, the water is a little cool.”

Xiyu put a towel under her, then gently leaned her head on the edge of the bathtub and covered her eyes with the towel.

The door of the warm room was pushed open, and someone came in with hot water and scooped it into the bathtub.

"Please massage my shoulders. It would be better if the tub was tilted. Otherwise, every time I take a bath, I'm either leaning on it or hanging in the air, which makes me more tired."

She muttered to herself and complained, thinking that she would find someone to design a new one when she had time.

After hearing her order, the visitor was silent for a moment, then raised his hands and pressed and kneaded her shoulders and neck.

He used his fingertips to open up her meridians and gently knead her muscles.

“So comfortable~”

Xiyu hummed a few times in comfort, "Your hands are quite strong today."

Hearing her say this, the person behind her stiffened all over, and the strength in his hands unconsciously reduced a lot. His fingertips kept rubbing her shoulders and neck, bringing a tingling sensation.

"You will enjoy it."

A low, magnetic, and hoarse male voice came from behind. Xiyu was so scared that she took off the scarf from her eyes, clasped her hands over her chest, and huddled up into a ball.

The vision in the warm room was hazy, but Xiyu could still see the man in front of her clearly, and the panic in her eyes turned into surprise.

She relaxed her guard and climbed on the edge of the tub with both hands, her pretty little deer eyes twinkling with tiny stars, "Fourth Master, you're back!"

There were no flower petals in the tub, and the spring scenery inside fell into Yinzhen's eyes without reservation, and his eyes unconsciously moved down along the collarbone...

As he saw more alluring sights, his eyes became more and more fiery and deep, like a bottomless lake being burned by a raging fire, and the desire contained in it could burst out at any time.

The man's eyes were fixed, as if he was staring at something.

Xiyu keenly noticed the change in his eyes, looked down along his line of sight, then reacted and pressed her body down to block the vague scenery underwater.

She pursed her lips and muttered quietly, with a hint of condemnation in her tone.

"Why are you so scary~ and peeking~"

The complaining voice entered Yinzhen's ears, the voice was soft and gentle, revealing a hint of coquettishness.

The warm room was filled with steam, which made people feel hot.

Yinzhen's Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously. He hooked the buttons on the side of his body with one hand and unbuttoned one by pushing and pulling.

He moved very quickly, and before Xiyu could react, he had already taken off his casual clothes, threw them on the clothes rack with a wave of his hand, and stepped into the bathtub.

Two people suddenly squeezed into the narrow bathtub, and a large amount of hot water overflowed from the edge, and the splashing water wet their clothes.

It’s over, Xiyu thought.

The water contains medicinal properties. If you soak it for a long time...

She hid in the corner, trembling, and changed the subject with an evasive look, "Master, is the jasmine pastry delicious?"

Thinking of the dessert that he had crushed into pieces, Yinzhen's eyes revealed a hint of guilt.

He touched the bridge of his nose and coughed lightly, "It tastes good."

"Did you see the note?"

Her body trembled under the man's hands, and Xiyu asked in a trembling voice.

Speaking of this, Yinzhen raised his eyelids, and his eyes, which were originally as deep as a pool of water, seemed to be ignited at this moment, with unbearable desire surging in them.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he turned over, catching the young lady's breath.

"I saw it."

Yinzhen reached out his hand and gently stroked the young concubine's smooth face, biting her lips with his teeth, and the sound escaped from between his lips and teeth.

The eunuchs and palace maids who were in charge of boiling water in the East Third House did not sleep a wink all night.

The winter snow brings a chill. It has been nearly two months since Xiyu married Yinzhen, and the temperature in the Forbidden City is getting lower and lower.

Except for necessary trips, Xiyu would lock herself in the house all the time.

After more than a month of her efforts, Yinzhen's favorability towards her has increased from 35% to the current 50%.

Xiyu's body has been continuously repaired by spiritual power, and the health value has reached 60%, which is still 20% away from a healthy physique capable of having children.

There are currently 99 days left to live, which is more than three months, neither too much nor too little.

If she were pregnant, she and Yinzhen would not be able to have sex, her chances of obtaining dragon energy would be reduced, and her survival days would not increase. It would be difficult for her to survive until giving birth to a child.

There is still a long way to go...

Xiyu sighed, ate lunch slowly, and kept thinking in her mind.

Over at the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager used her medicinal diet recipes, and her old health ailments improved a lot.

From the system panel, you can see that the health value has reached 79%, and there is only 1% left to complete the task.

The Queen Mother's favorability towards her had already exceeded the requirements of the mission, reaching 40%, a level that was higher than most people in the palace.

She instantly became a favorite of the empress dowager, and many ladies in the palace secretly gave her gifts or asked her out.

Xiyu guessed that these people might want to get close to the Queen Mother through her and find a backer for themselves.

Once the Queen Mother's mission is completed, the current number of days of survival will double to 198 days.

Although it was still not enough, it at least gave her a little more sense of security.

Xiyu was scrolling through the task bar. The progress of the task to repair the relationship between Concubine De and Yinzhen was only 2%. It had been stuck for more than a month with no progress.

Whenever she mentioned the matter concerning the two of them in a tactful way to the Queen Mother, she avoided answering.

It seems to be a rather difficult task.

Xiyu put down the spoon in her hand and frowned.

She sat in front of the couch and knocked the window open a little, letting the cold air seep in through the gap. "Akira, are you ready for what I want?"

"Everything is ready."

Chunshi asked someone to clear all the remaining food on the table and considerately put the cloak on her shoulders.

"The sun is out today, but you still need to keep warm and don't be careless."

Xiyu pouted, but still tucked her cloak in neatly.

This girl Chunshi speaks in such an old-fashioned way. It seems that she really grew up with her mother. The two of them are becoming more and more alike.
