Chapter 7: Share bath
The craftsmanship of the cooks in the palace is naturally good, but I just
remembered the phrase "staying in the palace" so I didn't know how to eat it.
I just used it indiscriminately and lost my appetite.\nTing Qijian looked towards Kuang Xiqing, but when she saw that she was also
looking at me meaningfully, I couldn't help but feel shocked.\nShe just listened to her with a soft smile: "How has Han'er's disease changed
so much... the favorite food and drink in the past, but never touched it.
Could it be that even your preferences have changed?"\n"Emperor Sister is too worried... I just don't have an appetite." I took a
bowl of soup and sipped slowly, and I barely smiled, not daring to look at
her.\n"I was negligent, Han'er, you have recovered from a serious illness. It is
time to be more restrained." She licked her lips, but she also put down the
dishes, stopped eating, and waved her hand to let the attendants behind her
take things away.\n"Emperor Sister, are you... full?" I watched her carelessly take the tea cup
and rinse her mouth, smiling brightly-if I remember correctly, she only ate a
few mouthfuls, according to The appetite of an adult woman, especially in
Dawu, who has a stronger physique, is definitely not enough to be full.\n"Since Han'er has no appetite, I will accompany you." She waved away the
female officer who was frowning behind her as if she wanted to admonish, took
my hand out of the penthouse, and came to the main hall in the middle. There
are a few memorials left to be reviewed, and I will be sober on an empty
stomach."\n——She meant to share the joys and sorrows with me and hungry with me?\nThis is not a sweet talk, nor a thrilling catastrophe of life and death. It is
just a simple sentence "I will accompany you", but it really made me feel
moved.\nAlthough, I feel that I am still more moved by the emotional control of Kuang
Xihan's body; I really don't know what kind of complicated feelings she has
for her sister.\nThe only thing I can be sure of is: this kind of affection has become a deadly
obsession, and it has affected my judgment.\n...But, the memorial?\nI remember that Kwong Xihan is a powerful prince who has the right to
participate in the decision-making of the government. For the emperor Kwong
Xiqing, it is a real threat. It shouldn’t happen to let me be within three
feet of myself, not to mention that she allowed me to enter. The main hall for
dealing with political affairs-is Kwong Xihan too harmless to her, so she
doesn't need to be wary, or is this another temptation?\nTo say that this is Kuang Xiqing's trust... Oh, I'm not naive enough to think
that there can be unreserved trust under the imperial power, even between my
sisters.\nIf it does, it belongs to Kuang Xihan—not me.\nShe took me to sit down together in the spacious grand teacher's chair that
could hold two more of me, and pointed to the inkstone on one side: "Grinding
for me."\nI nodded silently, wondering how to grind out the smooth and rich ink, but
Kuang Xiqing indifferently flipped through the several booklets on the table
and didn’t mean to write. I couldn’t help thinking: she probably did it for
Let me do something so that I don't get bored, so I just ordered it casually.\nUnconsciously thinking, the line of sight involuntarily glided from the warm
inkstone over her sculpted side face--according to the local aesthetics of
Dawu country, Kuang Xiqing’s facial features are a perfect blend of the
gentleness of men and the brilliance and beauty of women. Not Jiao, gentle,
just a silhouette is beautiful enough to make people yearn for.\nAs an emperor, she should be cold and decisive. However, after just a few
hours of getting along, I only felt her tenderness and closeness as a sister.
What made me more difficult to understand was the legacy of Kuang Xihan. In
one of the few memories, this seems to be the normal way for the two to get
along.\nThat is to say, in Kuang Xihan's mind, this emperor sister is not as
deliberately as Yan Ke said, but the relatives she relies on
wholeheartedly...Perhaps, it is not just as simple as family affection.\nShe seemed to feel the gaze that I focused on her face, Kuang Xiqing turned
her face slightly, glanced at me with a smile, and smoothly threw the memorial
I was looking at before my eyes. The emotions in the deep black eyes were
difficult to distinguish: "These people are getting bolder... Han'er might as
well take a look."\nWith a sound of "pop", I was startled by the sound of the memorial being
photographed on the table, and the moment my eyes met those black eyes, I
immediately moved away-even I can't tell the panic that resembled a guilty
conscience at that moment. It was because of what-she opened the memorial with
the red cover to follow her meaning.\n...Fu begging and furious, collecting literary and military honors, and
rigorously instructed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, according to the
law of the country, the minister is dead and immortal.\nWell, from the end, this is a melodrama of impeaching someone.\n..All this reversal is clearly visible to people's eyes and ears, but the inner
court fears misfortune but does not dare to speak, and the outer court is
dumbfounded and does not dare to play.\nHey, looking forward, this melodrama lists more than a dozen crimes, and it is
said to be the best, it seems that the impeached person is a heinous person.\n...... The sage is in the imperial court, there are unscrupulous, turbulent
and chaotic, such as the emperor's younger sister dominates the king.\nHey, the label at the beginning is familiar; I remember, Kwong Xihan's title
seems to be King Ling.\nIn that case, the memorial that Kwong Xiqing showed me was actually impeaching
me?\nWhat does she mean?\nWarning, or a means of wooing?\nI closed the melodies and silently put them back on the top of the stack of
stacks beside her, looking up at her, trying to see a little clue from her
expression.\nShe took out the memorial along with several other books, and threw them aside
at random. She gave me a smirk and looked at me, seemingly a little bit
puzzled: "I was surprised, Han'er was not angry. If it were the past, I've
been pestering me for a long time to copy these performers and ask them to cut
off their homes. Why are they so good today? Could it be that I was seriously
ill, and even lost a lot of temper?"\n"What's the use of being angry, can it be able to block your mouth?" I
subconsciously replied, but I couldn't help but secretly said that it was bad:
This does not seem to be in line with Kuang Xihan's temperament.\nSure enough, Kuang Xiqing turned over the rest of the memorials, and the faint
glance made me feel frightened--the eyebrows that could not be more delicate,
and the smile that could not be more gentle, how could there be so much
coolness for no reason?\n...... Probably it's because of my carelessness.\n"Han'er is really grown up...I feel so relieved." She didn't say anything, and
dropped the memorials on the table--unknowingly, they had been stacked in
three stacks, and I had seen them before. That book belongs to, but it is the
most-took my hand and slowly walked to the palace on the other side of the
corridor.\nI noticed that the ground gradually became moist; when some familiar temple
doors appeared in front of me, I suddenly realized: This is the emperor's
imperial bath.\nIs she going to take me here to take a bath?\nNo, the point should be, is she going to take a bath with me...?\nMy face flushed unconsciously because of this obvious fact, and this sudden
shame was for the purpose of being naked in front of someone I don't know yet,
or for some other emotions that I can't explain clearly.\nI was still thinking about this issue until I was led into the steamy inner
hall and waited to take off my outer robe.\nAt this moment, I felt that the lapels of my chest were being touched. I waved
away the opponent's hand reflexively and took a step back. I hit the person
behind me too hard and almost slipped to the ground.\nAfter finally stabilizing myself, I swallowed back the exclamation that was
about to exit, and silently turned my head to look at Kuang Xiqing-she was
casually opening her hands, waiting for the attendant to take off her clothes,
without feeling anything wrong. It seems normal for a servant to take care of
bathing and changing clothes.\nWhen she raised her eyebrows and handed out a questioning look indifferently,
my heart suddenly stunned: How did I forget that my current identity is a
member of the top of the feudal ruling group, a rich and beautiful, The
pampered and privileged class is the Ling Wang-Kuang Xihan who will never feel
uncomfortable because someone serves the bath.\n"Nothing." I stroked my sleeves to hide my embarrassment. I shook my head,
controlling myself not to think about the group of beautiful young boys who
were not as weak as Kuang Xiqing. Some of them were holding a bath. Towels,
fragrant pancreas and other bathing utensils waited aside without squinting,
while the rest took off my clothes gently and quickly.\nAs my skin gradually exposed to the air, I felt a layer of goose bumps on my
body-although the temperature in this temple was just right, it didn't make
people feel a bit of coolness.\nI think I still can’t accept the customs and favors of Dawu country in such a
short period of time, ranging from the marriage system of polyandry to the
tradition of attending to the bathing. Perhaps the most unacceptable thing for
me is this young man. Beautiful but weak and abnormal body, as well as her
noble identity accompanied by heavy fog, and the shackles she can't get rid
of.\n"Go down." Kuang Xiqing's voice seemed a little distorted in the white misty
hall, especially under the influence of the sound of "crashing" into the
water, I almost missed her words; but the young men who served meticulously
executed it. Her orders, including the attendant who was about to take off the
last obscene clothes for me, stopped immediately after her voice, and did not
dare to hesitate.\nEveryone put down the things in their hands, bowed and bowed, and quietly
exited the inner hall, as if they had never entered before-I felt a long
breath of relief from my chest.\nAfter holding back a sigh, I peeled off the last cover myself, turned and
walked towards the wide pool made of jade.\nThe water is a bit hot, but it teaches people to relax, my brows can't help
but loosen, and I sink into the water in the chest.\nKwong Xiqing leaned against the other side of the pool and closed her eyes to
rest, and her eyebrows were calm and peaceful-I found it difficult for me to
look away from the dazzling white skin and beautiful collarbone.\nI have always known that a woman's body can be intriguingly beautiful, but
what I never expected is: one day, I will be surprised by this beauty to...
almost sinking.
