Tian An soaked comfortably in the hot water sprinkled with flower petals, feeling extremely satisfied. God knows how long it had been since she had taken a bath like this.
At first, she could still wipe herself with water, but when she got to a place where there was a water shortage and there was not even anything to drink, how could she get water to wipe herself with?
God knows how she managed to get through those days. Her hair was all stuck together, and she stunk. She nearly vomited from the fumes she was feeling. Thinking about it now still feels so surreal, like a nightmare.
"Miss, are you ready? Do you need me to come in and serve you?"
Only after hearing the palace maid outside the door urging him to leave did Tian An reluctantly leave the bathtub.
"I'm ready, come in!"
Two palace maids came in carrying trays, one carrying a green dress and the other carrying pearl hairpins and jewelry.
The one carrying the clothes walked straight towards Tian An, while the one carrying the jewelry went to the dressing table to make preparations.
After Tian An changed her clothes, at her insistence, the palace maid in charge of combing her hair carefully helped her to tie a simple and beautiful bun.
But Tian An did not pick any jewelry from the tray. Instead, she took out the pearl flowers that Zhao Yiming had bought for her before, put them on, and went out.
In the reception room, Zhao Yiming, Xiaokang and Xiaoqi were already sitting there drinking tea, looking refreshed.
The prince sitting in the main seat couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yiming since the moment he saw him clean up.
When the Crown Prince's eyes turned to Zhao Yiming for the nth time, he finally put down his teacup, stood up and bowed to him, "But what's wrong with my face? Your Highness, why do you always look at me like this?"
The prince stared into his eyes and said, "Young Master Zhao looks very similar to an old acquaintance of mine."
"Oh! I am truly honored!" Zhao Yiming said calmly.
The prince was about to speak when Tian An came in from the door and said, "What an honor!"
Zhao Yiming stood up to greet Tian An and helped her sit down. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that I look like an old acquaintance of his."
Tian An nodded thoughtfully, "Then he is indeed honored. After all, Brother Yiming is so handsome. He looks like you, so he must be good-looking."
Upon hearing this, the prince almost spit out a mouthful of tea. This girl is too shameless.
Zhao Yiming acted as if he was used to it, and even straightened Tian An's pearl tassels that had been messed up by her walking, "An An still has them!"
"Of course, you bought this for me with the prize money you won for passing the imperial examination. I've been keeping it very carefully!"
At this time, Yaoyao also came out. She looked even more beautiful in her royal princess costume. Xiaokang and Xiaoqi were so surprised that they could fit an egg in their mouths.
"Sister Yaoyao is so beautiful!"
"Like a fairy."
The prince nodded in satisfaction, walked up to her and took her hand, "Yao'er, can we go back to the palace now?"
Yaoyao nodded and looked at Tian An and the others, "Brother Yiming, Sister Anan, I'm leaving now. Thank you for sending me back."
Tian An smiled and waved to her, "Be careful when you go out next time, and don't get lost again!"
"I understand." Then he looked at Xiaokang and Xiaoqi, "Brother Xiaokang, Brother Xiaoqi, thank you for sending me home. I'll bring you some delicious candy when I come out next time!"
Xiaoqi smiled foolishly, "Thank you, sister Yaoyao."
Xiaokang frowned like a little adult, "Sister Yaoyao, you are too young. You'd better not come out. Wait until you are older and less likely to get lost!"
Yaoyao pouted when she heard Xiaokang say that, and said aggrievedly, "But it will take me a long time to grow up! I will miss you guys."
Seeing Yaoyao unhappy, the sister-con prince immediately came online, "Yaoyao, be good, let's go back to the palace first, and I'll take you out after a few days, okay!"
Yaoyao immediately smiled happily and said to Xiaokang, "Brother Xiaokang, my prince brother will take me out so I won't get lost. He is very powerful."
Xiaokang nodded calmly: "Okay then! You have to bring some adults who can protect you before you go out!"
Yaoyao nodded obediently, "Okay!"
看的一旁的太子都酸了，他千娇万宠的妹妹居然对一个毛头小子言听计从，这让他情何以堪啊！要不是看他小，他非得揍他一顿不可。
After saying goodbye to everyone, the prince finally got his wish and prepared to return to the palace with Yaoyao.
Seeing Yaoyao about to walk out the door, Xiaokang quickly ran to Tian An and asked, "Sister, do you still have that black candy?"
"Do you want to give it to Yaoyao?"
Xiaokang nodded.
Tian An thought for a moment, then took out a box of chocolates and a box of toffees from his bag and gave them to him.
Xiaokang ran out the door with the candy in his arms, "Yaoyao, Yaoyao..."
Yaoyao, who was sitting in the imperial carriage, heard Xiaokang's voice and immediately stuck her head out of the window, "Brother Xiaokang..."
Xiaokang ran to the car window and stopped, then stood on tiptoe and pushed the two boxes of candy into the car window.
Seeing this, Yaoyao quickly reached out to catch it, "Thank you, Brother Xiaokang. I'll come play with you soon."
Xiaokang just stood there and waited until the imperial carriage was gone...
With the prince's order, things were done efficiently. Lord Zhang personally supervised the process and completed their household registration by noon. The title deeds, land deeds and keys to the house and farm were also handed over to them.
Afraid that they couldn't find the way, they kindly asked someone to take them to the house. The service was simply excellent.
The yamen runners took them straight to the main city, and they saw Songshan Academy along the way.
Tian An pointed at the gate of Songshan Academy curiously and said, "Shouldn't Songshan Academy be on the mountain?"
"It's just called that, it's not built on a mountain."
"Okay!" Tian An said he had learned something new.
It was only about two blocks away when the yamen runner told them they had arrived.
The yamen runner stepped forward to remove the seal on the gate, then said goodbye to Tian An and the others.
Tian An took out the key and opened the gate, and several people pulled their own ox cart in.
After a quick tour, Tian An almost jumped for joy. "I didn't know this three-story house was this big! The prince is really generous. The six thousand taels were not wasted!"
The corners of Zhao Yiming's mouth twitched. This girl was so worried about the six thousand taels! If she hadn't connected with the prince, she wouldn't even be able to enter the main city with six thousand taels.
"But why is the ground so messy?" Tian An pointed at the things on the ground.
"It should have been caused during the house search!" Zhao Yiming explained.
"Is there any furniture in this house? The tables and chairs are fine, but we can't sleep tonight without a bed." Tian An said as he was about to go into the room to check.
Fortunately, the beds in several bedrooms are still there. In addition to the beds, some large furniture and tables are also there, but the ornaments and books on the antique cabinets and bookshelves are definitely gone.
If I want to move in tonight, I have to buy bedding and other things. Besides, the house is dusty everywhere, and it will take a lot of time just to clean it.
Anyway, I'm busy.
