Chapter 301 Wash Well

"Since Ninth Prince is so determined, I won't try to persuade you."

Huo Zheng said this and turned around and left.

As soon as he left, the storm hit Huo Yan again.

Huo Yan was confused by Huo Zheng's behavior of leaving without saying anything. This guy would be leaving the capital to become a fief in a few days, and he didn't even bother to pretend!

Huo Zheng originally wanted to advise Huo Yan that he was still injured and not to be stubborn with his father.

But the Ninth Prince had such a bad temper that he didn't even say a word of courtesy to his brother. Huo Zheng just wanted to help him and didn't want to do anything unnecessary at this time.

The rain was pouring down, making it difficult for vehicles to travel. Chunzhi and her son were probably still staying at the Mu Mansion. Huo Zheng hurried out of the palace and headed towards the Yue family.

At this time, at the Mu Mansion.

Xiaoxing took a long nap today. Chunzhi and his mother sat together and talked a lot about personal matters. When Xiaoxing woke up and Chunzhi was about to take him back to the palace, it suddenly started to rain heavily outside.

Madam Mu said, "It's raining so hard. Let's sit for a while and wait until it stops before leaving."

Chunzhi smiled and said, "Looking at the weather, I'm afraid the rain will continue until tomorrow."

"Then you can rest here." Madam Mu said, "When you return to your own home, there is no need to worry about strong winds and heavy rains. It's a good opportunity for me to keep an eye on you."

In a few days, Chunzhi will follow Prince Chang'an to Xizhou to be enfeoffed. Xizhou is so far away from the capital that it is difficult for mother and daughter to see each other. Even the letters cannot be too frequent, so as to avoid the emperor suspecting that the Mu family and Prince Chang'an are in collusion.

Mrs. Mu now just wanted to see her daughter one more time. She could hardly express her reluctance, but her eyes were full of love for her daughter.

Chunzhi responded softly, "Okay."

She said, "I want to accompany my mother, too."

Madam Mu said, "But the prince will be worried if he doesn't see you and your son when he returns home. We need to send someone back to inform you."

Chunzhi glanced out the window at the rain hitting the branches and said, "Let's wait until the rain is lighter."

Mrs. Mu nodded and continued talking to Chunzhi.

By the evening, the rain had not let up at all, but was getting heavier.

Madam Mu was about to send someone to the palace to deliver the news when she heard the servant outside come in and say, "Madam, Princess, the Prince of Chang'an is here."

"Please invite the prince in quickly." Madam Mu Xiaoxing handed the message to the maid beside her, stood up and went out with Chunzhi to greet him.

Madam Mu muttered as she walked, "It's raining so hard, why didn't the prince return to the palace and come here instead?"

Chunzhi whispered, "Maybe we have a telepathic connection."

Seeing that it was raining so heavily outside, Huo Zheng probably guessed that she was still at Mu's house and had not returned.

When Mrs. Mu heard this, she glanced sideways at Chunzhi and saw a smile on her lips.

Her daughter married a good man, the couple lived in harmony and had a deep understanding of each other. Mrs. Mu was naturally very happy to see this.

As the mother and daughter passed through the corridor, they saw Huo Zheng coming with an umbrella. It was windy and rainy, and the branches under the eaves were swaying. He came gracefully with his clothes fluttering.

Chunzhi stepped out from under the umbrella held by the maid and went forward to greet him. "It's raining so hard, why don't you go to the Queen Mother's palace to rest for a while and wait until the rain subsides before leaving the palace?"

Huo Zheng said, "Thinking you were still at the Mu Mansion, I hurried back."

Madam Mu, who had stopped a few steps away, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "Your Highness's clothes are all wet. Take a hot shower to get rid of the cold. We have new clothes made for Kaiji at home. Your Highness can wear them for now. How about staying here tonight and returning to the palace tomorrow morning when the rain stops?"

Huo Zheng glanced at Chunzhi and knew that she also wanted to stay overnight at the Mu Mansion, so he nodded and agreed. "Then I'll bother you, mother-in-law."

"We are all family, so why bother you?" Madam Mu said with a smile, "Chunzhi, take the prince to your courtyard. Xiaoxing will go back to Youwei's mother, so you don't have to worry about it."

Chunzhi said, "Thank you for your hard work, mother."

The little guy just woke up and is in good spirits, with plenty of energy to play around.

"It's not hard. How can it be hard to play with my grandson?"

Mrs. Mu was anxious to go back and pick up Xiaoxing, and urged Chunzhi to take Huo Zheng back to take a bath and change clothes.

"Let's go." Chunzhi took Huo Zheng's hand very naturally.

Huo Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her sideways.

Chunzhi looked at him, and the two walked hand in hand through the corridor and returned to the courtyard where Chunzhi lived before she got married.

After Chunzhi married into the Chang'an Palace, this place has been vacant, but Madam Mu has people clean it on time every day, so it is clean even when no one lives there.

The servants and maids who had received instructions from Madam Mu earlier had already prepared a bathtub and hot water, and brought clean clothes for changing. When they saw the two men coming, they all bowed and invited the prince to come in and take a bath.

The maid was about to step forward to serve, but before she could get close, Huo Zheng said, "All of you step back."

"yes."

The two maids retreated immediately.

Chunzhi shook out the new clothes and hung them on the wooden rack so that Huo Zheng could wear them after he got out of the bath.

The new clothes have dense stitches and the cranes embroidered on them are lifelike. They must have been embroidered by Mrs. Mu for Mu Kaiji herself.

But before he had time to ask someone to send it to Xizhou, it was given to Huo Zheng to wear first.

Chunzhi hung up her clothes and saw Huo Zheng close the door casually. When he walked to the bathtub, he began to undress without avoiding her at all.

Chunzhi had been married to him for so long, but she had only seen him naked on the bed, usually when the lights were off, the curtains were drawn, and the light and shadows were dim.

It was not dark yet and the lights in the house were on, shining brightly.

Wisps of white smoke continued to rise from the tub. Huo Zheng took off his already wet clothes and casually placed them on a nearby chair. When he took off his last piece of underwear, he suddenly turned to look at Chunzhi and said with a seductive smile, "Princess, why are you standing so far away?"

"Is this close enough?"

Upon hearing this, Chunzhi stepped forward and helped him untie the belt of the last piece of his undershirt. After taking the undershirt off and putting it aside, the man's broad chest and strong waist were revealed before her eyes...

Huo Zheng looked at her with a smile.

Haruji met his gaze and looked at his body openly.

If she doesn’t look at her own husband, who will she look at?

But Chunzhi suddenly remembered that Huo Zheng once dragged her into the bathtub and made a fool of herself, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

As Huo Zheng entered the tub, he took Chunzhi's hand and said in a low voice, "Don't go. Help me wash."

"Wash yourself well."

Chunzhi said with a hint of meaning.

This is the Mu Mansion, and there are maids guarding outside. If she makes any inappropriate noise, she can't afford to lose face.

Huo Zheng hummed, then said with a smile, "Princess, please help me wash it."

Chunzhi picked up a wooden spoon beside her, scooped up some hot water, and slowly poured it over Huo Zheng. The hot water slid down his muscles, adding a touch of eroticism to his powerful body, making him even more alluring.

Even though she was already familiar with Huo Zheng's body, she was still attracted to him at this moment.

"How can we just look at it?" Huo Zheng grabbed Chunzhi's other hand and pressed it against his chest muscles. "Wash it well, use some pressure."
