Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 816 Earthquake
The sky is not clear tonight, only a few sparse stars are vaguely visible.

The corridors of the restaurant are all hung with lanterns.

In such a quiet night, in this foreign country, walking on such a bright corridor is a rare experience.

Li Qingnu was very hospitable and personally sent Zhu Xiuyuan back to his room.

She is tall and tall, with a fluttering skirt and a kind face. She always has a faint smile and walks gently. When Zhu Xiuyuan walks beside her, he can always smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

Naturally, Li Qingnu was also followed by several maids.

"Senior brother has never been on a boat for such a long time. According to our itinerary, it will take two days to reach Sichuan... Will senior brother feel tired after taking such a long boat?"

Li Qingnu's voice was very clear in this quiet restaurant night.

"Your Highness the Princess is worried. In fact, it's okay. Our ship is quite stable, so we don't get seasick." Zhu Xiuyuan responded softly, as if he didn't want to speak loudly and break the tranquility of this foreign country.

"Oh, so my sister can rest assured."

"But sister Zhen'er... I'm afraid she still needs to take medicine tomorrow."

"Well, I will personally watch her drink it. Don't tell me, Her Royal Highness's medicine is really effective. Madam, she drank a bowl and it actually worked for a whole day."

"Senior brother, I don't know. This is the secret recipe of the Liang Kingdom... I will copy the recipe to senior brother later? I won't be afraid that sister Zhen'er will get seasick in the future."

"Then thank you, Your Highness Princess..."

The two walked slowly, chatting quietly as they walked.

Then the cool breeze in the evening made Zhu Xiuyuan feel refreshed.

After chatting for a while, they talked about Dong Shuzhen's fear of taking medicine.

Zhu Xiuyuan also told Li Qingnu that after Dong Shuzhen drank the medicine, she pretended to have drunk poison and showed signs of poisoning such as trembling.

Li Qingnu loves to laugh. After hearing this, she immediately covered her mouth with joy, her delicate body trembled wildly, and the sound was like a silver bell, which was particularly pleasant in this quiet night.

Zhu Xiuyuan accidentally caught a glimpse of her delicate body trembling——

The "earthquake" of the tall and straight chest is indeed spectacular.

He glanced away and looked away.

Finally, Li Qingnu sent him to the door.

"Her Royal Highness Princess has been busy all day today, and she took the trouble to see her off in person in the evening... I feel really sorry for her. Her Royal Highness Princess, please go back and rest soon. Don't be tired!"

I wish Xiuyuan bowed his hands as a salute.

Li Qingnu hurriedly returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "It's not hard, senior brother is a guest, and this is what it should be. Senior brother, please come in quickly, don't keep sister Zhen'er waiting."

Li Qingnu dragged her floor-length skirt and left.

The maids behind him followed suit with the same slow steps.

Zhu Xiuyuan stared at her back, and the scene of "earthquake" flashed before his eyes...

Shaking his head, Zhu Xiuyuan opened the door and walked in.

"This bed is so small, I'm afraid it's not even big enough for me to turn over..."

After entering the house, Dong Shuzhen's voice came. She seemed to be still doing some work.

They heard the sound of the door opening and immediately stopped talking. Then Zhu Xiuyuan saw two heads poking out of the gauze curtain of the bed, walking towards him.

"My husband is back!"

Dong Shuzhen said hello and retracted her head. There was a buzzing sound in the bed, and they seemed to be busy.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Xiuyuan took a closer look.

It turned out that Dong Shuzhen and Xia Wu were taking out bedding, pillows and other items from a large bundle and spreading them on the bed one by one. The original bedding, pillows, etc. on the bed were put aside.

Those were the bedding and pillows they brought from Shenleihou's Mansion.

"Look, husband, their quilts are not good, they are too hard, but our quilts are better, soft and comfortable to cover."

Dong Shuzhen responded to Zhu Xiuyuan while working together with Xia Wu.Zhu Xiuyuan shook his head and ignored them. He walked to the small round table in the room and sat down, pouring tea to drink.

Soon, they finished their work, and Xia Wu came over and said a little coyly: "Uncle, I have prepared hot water. Please take a bath and change clothes..."

"Oh, I'm not in a hurry. You guys can wash it first." Zhu Xiuyuan stared at Xia Wu in surprise.

Xia Wu has always been lively, but this time he was a little shy. It was so strange that he didn't understand what was going on for a while.

"Husband, please go quickly. I and Xia Wu have both finished washing up. It's getting late. Husband, please come back as soon as possible after taking a bath. I'm waiting for you!"

Dong Shuzhen's voice came from the bed.

Zhu Xiuyuan twitched his lips.

Ignoring Dong Shuzhen's words, he put down his tea cup and stood up and said, "Okay!"

bathroom.

A huge bathtub was placed in the middle. The tub was mostly filled with fragrant soup. White mist rose up, making the entire bathroom filled with smoke, making it feel like a fairyland.

Zhu Xiuyuan approached the tub, holding on to the wooden frame. He took a look and praised: "Not bad... um, even sprinkled with flower petals?"

Zhu Xiuyuan turned around and stared at Xia Wu.

Xia Wu looked flustered, and she looked a bit like Qiu Wen, but she lowered her head and said, "When I was preparing the hot water, I forgot that it was for my uncle to take a bath, so I just... scattered the flower petals."

"Oh, Madam, I know she puts flower petals in her bath, but... this is too much! No wonder, I always smell the scent of flowers on Madam..."

Zhu Xiuyuan held on to the wooden edge of the huge bathtub and moved slowly. Xia Wu followed behind him, also moving slowly.

"How about I pick up all the petals?" Xia Wu suggested.

"That's no need. It's okay if there are petals. I'm just afraid of being smelled like flowers, just like a woman. I'm afraid of being laughed at when I go out."

"Pfft..."

Zhu Xiuyuan looked back and saw Xia Wu immediately shut up and covered her mouth with both hands.

"Okay, I'm going to take a bath!" Zhu Xiuyuan stopped.

"Oh!" Xia Wu also stopped.

Zhu Xiuyuan saw that she was unmoved, so he looked sideways at her: "I am going to take a bath. Xia Wu, please go out first and come in again when I call you."

"Oh, oh!"

Only then did Xia Wu react, her face was burning, she hurriedly ran out and closed the door behind her.

Zhu Xiuyuan shook his head. He now understood why Xia Wu was a little nervous, because this was the first time that Xia Wu had to bathe and change clothes for him...

The heat is steaming and the petals are fragrant.

Zhu Xiuyuan sank into the bathtub and suddenly felt comfortable all over. Under the heat, he felt his hands, feet and limbs numb, and the fatigue accumulated all day seemed to be dissipated.

Two quarters later.

"Qiu Wen, Qiu Wen, come in!"

Zhu Xiuyuan had already put on his inner clothes and called his personal maid Qiu Wen as usual.

"Uncle..." The voice outside the door was somewhat resentful.

"Oh, I called you wrong, Xia Wu, come in!" Zhu Xiuyuan changed his words.

Squeak.

The door was pushed open a crack, and half of his head poked in.

Xia Wu looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhu Xiuyuan by the tub had indeed put on his inner clothes.

But it seems...a little disappointing?
