Chapter 201 Being Peeped at Bathing
After a while, Aunt Hua asked someone to prepare hot water for bathing and came to call Qingyi over.
Qing Yi followed Aunt Hua to a side room. As soon as he entered, he saw a large bath tub in the middle of the room. The hot water inside was steaming, and the whole room was filled with a warm and moist atmosphere.
On a chair nearby, neatly folded clothes lay, a complete set from undergarments to outerwear. Unsurprisingly, they were all white with dark floral patterns. Qing Yi reached out and touched them; the fabric was soft and skin-friendly, with an excellent touch. It was indeed Xiao Ye's clothes.
Qing Yi closed the door and began to undress. He was only halfway through when he suddenly sensed someone lingering outside the window, their steps heavy and heavy. He knew from the sound of their presence that they were not skilled in martial arts. "Could they be peeping at me bathing?" Qing Yi wondered, his brow furrowing involuntarily.
He quickly gathered up his half-undressed clothes and shouted to the outside, "Who's outside?"
"Ah, Mr. Qingyi, it's me, I'm..." Aunt Hua's somewhat flustered voice came from outside, "I wanted to tell you that the soapberry is right next to the bathtub, but I was afraid you couldn't see it."
"Thank you, Aunt Hua. I saw it." Qing Yi responded loudly, but he couldn't help wondering in his heart: "Why is this person so weird? Does he really want to watch me take a bath?" He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movements outside. When he was sure that Aunt Hua's footsteps were gradually fading away, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took off his clothes, and jumped into the bath tub with a "plop".
The hot water in the tub instantly wrapped around his body, making him warm and comfortable. However, he had no time to enjoy it. He randomly grabbed the soapberry, rubbed it on his body a few times, then hurried out of the tub and changed into his clean white clothes as quickly as possible.
"You've finished washing so quickly?" Qingqing was sitting in the guest room bored, when she suddenly saw a white shadow flash by, and Qingyi came in.
It’s true, Qing Yi has outstanding looks to begin with, and after putting on this white dress, he looks even more elegant and graceful, with a unique kind of romantic charm.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Don't you recognize me?" Qing Yi saw Qing Qing staring at him with a dazed look in her eyes, and immediately said in a bad tone. He was almost "spying" by Aunt Hua while taking a shower just now, and now Qing Qing was putting on such an expression again. He couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied, secretly complaining: What kind of women are these! Have they never seen a handsome young man? Ordinarily, this shouldn't be the case. Most of the guards in the Northwest Prince's Palace are decent-looking, not to mention there is a fairy-like young prince. Although he is indeed handsome and elegant, he shouldn't be so handsome that they are stunned, right?
"If I don't look at you standing there, who should I look at? I want to see my little prince, but he's not here!" Qingqing came to her senses and retorted without mercy.
"I thought you were confused by my handsomeness!" Qing Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and deliberately put on a smug look.
"Tsk, don't be so proud. You are far inferior to my master." She curled her lips in disdain and said with a look of disgust.
"...It's not that different, is it, Qing girl?" Qing Yi was a little amused. Although he wasn't sure if he had really been "dazzled by the handsomeness" of this little girl, he knew in his heart that he was truly bewitched by Xiao Ye. No matter how he looked at Xiao Ye, she seemed so beautiful, as if she had her own light that made him unable to take his eyes away.
"Qingqing," Qingyi asked leisurely with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Do you think Aunt Hua...will be impressed by my handsomeness?"
Qingqing's eyes widened instantly when she heard that, and she exclaimed: "What? You...what nonsense are you talking about! Aunt Hua is old enough to be your mother, you little bastard, stop talking nonsense here!" Qingqing really didn't expect that Qingyi would be so narcissistic, he is simply hopeless!
Qing Yi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and pretended to be serious and said: "She is fine, why did she peek at me bathing?"
"Ah?" Qingqing felt her head buzzing and said in astonishment, "You...what are you saying? Do you have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense?" As she spoke, she subconsciously reached out to touch Qingyi's forehead, wondering in her heart: This kid didn't do much heavy work, why did he suddenly get so tired that he started talking nonsense?
Qing Yi was quick-witted and quick-handed. How could he let Qing Qing touch him so easily? He tilted his head and dodged Qing Qing's hand. He pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Why are you touching me, girl?"
"I..." Qingqing was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe. She felt a tightness in her chest and wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood. She cursed in her heart: This stinky boy!
Seeing that Qingqing had been amused enough by him, Qingyi put away his cynical look and said seriously, "Alright, alright, don't get excited. I was just joking with you. However, just now when I was showering, I did see Aunt Hua lingering by the window for a long time. I don't know what she was trying to do."
"Ah? That's impossible?" Qingqing frowned in disbelief. "Why would she want to watch you bathe? Maybe she just happened to be passing by?"
Qing Yi shook his head slightly and said confidently, "With my hearing ability, can't I tell whether she's just passing by or just lingering around on purpose? Besides, she has no martial arts skills, so she can't hide her whereabouts at all."
"Then why is that?" Qingqing saw that Qingyi looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, so she naturally believed what he said, but she became more and more confused in her heart.
"You ask me? I said she was bewitched by my handsome and suave appearance, but you didn't believe it!" Qing Yi had a sly smile on his face and looked at Qingqing with interest as she looked dazed and frowned.
"...How strange! Why is this happening?" Qingqing was filled with confusion. Ever since Aunt Hua had insisted on keeping them for dinner, she had a vague feeling that something was amiss. She and Doctor Lin had often come here before, but Aunt Hua had never been so welcoming, as if she were a completely different person.
"It's really strange. If she has some unknown connection with my master, she wouldn't resort to such means as spying on me, right?"
"...Why don't we go back to the palace and ask the master for instructions? Don't let anything mess up!" Qingqing looked worried, her heart aching. She was truly terrified that something might happen to her master's beloved. She wondered: Could it be that the prince couldn't take direct action against Qing Yi, so he arranged for Aunt Hua to assassinate him? Otherwise, why would the prince allow this kid to harm the medicine farm? Who knows what conspiracy is behind this?
