Chapter 339 Do you want to take it off yourself or do I do it?
There is only one inn in Tancheng, and the number of guests is not many but not too few either. If the inn is booked out like before, the other guests will definitely have nowhere to sleep.
But the inn was full of good and bad people. For Xiao Jingfan's safety, Lu Fei cleared out the inn and gave some financial compensation to the guests.
Although some people were dissatisfied, most people were still willing to get five taels of silver for free. Soon, Xiao Jingfan and his group were the only residents of the inn.
Everyone was tired from the journey, so after putting their luggage in the room, they returned to the lobby to drink tea and rest.
Chu Liuzheng waved to the waiter and looked at the menu hanging on the wall and ordered some dishes and drinks that suited everyone's taste.
The waiter wrote down everything, and Chu Liuzheng reminded him, "Everyone is hungry, so hurry up. Make sure it's clean, and let the chef show his best skills."
"Don't worry, young lady. It's definitely clean." The waiter patted his chest and assured, "The chef in our inn is a descendant of an imperial chef. The owner paid a high price to hire him from a restaurant. The dishes he makes will definitely satisfy you."
[Why do all these inn chefs like to have some connection with the imperial chef? But they can't really make the food taste better.]
Chu Liuzheng felt that this was probably the celebrity effect?
She smiled at the waiter and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, young lady." The guy grinned back and went off to work.
Lu Fei took his men around the inn and made a round trip, confirming that there was no hidden danger before returning to the lobby.
Chu Liuzheng poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Is Butler Zhou still questioning me in the room?"
"Yeah." Lu Fei put the knife on the table. "That kid is very cunning. I'm afraid it will take too long to ask him all the questions."
He looked around and didn't see Feng Jing, so he asked in confusion, "Where's Doctor Feng?"
"I went to the pharmacy." Chu Liuzheng reached out and touched the teacup to feel its temperature, and only put it in front of Xiao Jingfan when he felt it was about right.
Xiao Jingfan withdrew his gaze from the window, reached out to pick up the teacup and drank. The temperature was just right when he ate it.
The pot of tea on their table was brewed by Chen Xing in the kitchen, and it was tribute tea brought from the palace.
Although the tea is the same, the inn's kitchen only has well water and no spring water, so the taste is still a little different.
Xiao Jingfan only drank two sips before asking for the drink to be changed to plain water.
"Master, the hot water is ready." Chen Xing came over, wiping his hands. "Would you like to take a bath first or eat first?"
"Take a bath." Xiao Jingfan stood up and walked upstairs. Chen Xing ordered two guards to follow her to the kitchen to get hot water.
Across from the inn, there was a stall selling sugar-coated cakes. Chu Liuzheng was about to go out and buy two when he suddenly heard Lu Fei say, "Butler Zhou is still questioning me and can't get away for a while. The young master wants to take a bath. Won't you come and serve him?"
When they were in the palace, Zhou Yuande took care of all these things, and Chu Liuzheng really didn't think about this.
She turned to look at the slender figure that was about to disappear at the stairs, and she doubted that this person could even find a change of clothes.
She quickly stood up, said to Lu Fei, "Buy me two sugar-coated cakes," and followed him upstairs.
Lu Fei was a little confused.
Your Majesty obviously has feelings for this person, but why does this person seem to be completely unaware of it and even has time to think about some sugar-coated cake?
However, he still beckoned a guard over and ordered, "Go across the street and buy three pounds of sugar-coated cakes."
"Three pounds?" The guard's eyes widened. "Boss, you're not going to eat later?"
He just heard Miss Chu order a lot of delicious dishes.
"Stop talking nonsense and go." Lu Fei threw him a piece of silver and waved his hand to send him away.
At the same time, the best room in the inn was filled with steam.
After the guard delivered the hot water, he followed Chen Xing out. Chu Liuzheng rolled up his sleeves to test the water temperature and asked the person next to him who really couldn't find where his clothes were: "Would you like it hotter or colder?"
Zhou Yuande had never asked Xiao Jingfan this question before. He bent down to touch the hot water and uttered two words through his thin lips: "It's hot."
Hearing this, Chu Liuzheng took a ladle and added cold water, stirring it.
"What now?"
"Yeah." Xiao Jingfan felt that it was almost done and opened his hands, "Undress."
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
[Okay, okay, the emperor doesn't have to take off his clothes himself.]
She wiped the water droplets on her hands on a clean towel, walked over, untied Xiao Jingfan's belt a little awkwardly, and bent down to put it on the stool beside her.
Next comes the outer robe and inner garment.
She was busy with her work with her head down, not noticing that the person in front of her was looking down at her.
The faint scent of jasmine lingered in his nose. Xiao Jingfan lowered his eyelashes and glanced at the woman's fair earlobes, her cloud-like hair, and the small piece of skin on the back of her neck that was exposed because she lowered her head.
White, smooth and soft.
It has been hidden deep in the collar, and the shadow is vague.
He pursed his lips slightly, and suddenly a flash of white passed before his eyes.
In the utility room, clothes were piled up like a simple and elegant flower, surrounding the snow-white in the middle.
Watery eyes, lightly bitten lips, round shoulders, shoulders slightly tinged with pink... A scene that he thought he had forgotten, in the mist and the faint fragrance of jasmine, all the details intertwined, unfolding in his mind like a scroll.
His Adam's apple couldn't help but roll slightly, and a dark color appeared in Xiao Jingfan's deep eyes. His gaze moved from the back of his neck and fell on the woman's slender white fingertips.
Her ten fingers were as white as green onions, with a light powder on the joints, and she deftly untied the dark laces.
Chu Liuzheng placed his inner garment and outer robe on the screen and looked at the young man who was only wearing an inner garment.
The inner shirt is thin and soft, and you can vaguely see the undulations of the muscles.
Chu Liuzheng began to feel conflicted.
[Should the tyrant take off his underwear himself or should I do it?]
If Zhou Yuande were here, he would tell her that it was enough to take off her clothes here, and His Majesty would take off the rest by herself.
But Zhou Yuande was not there.
Xiao Jingfan's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at her sideways. Although he didn't say anything, Chu Liuzheng understood that this person was too lazy to even take off her underwear.
[Wow, all that boxing training has paid off. Look at that delicate skin, the curve of his chest muscles, the lines of his abdominal muscles, and even the mermaid line. Wow, this is a masterpiece!]
Hearing the inner voice, Xiao Jingfan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked at the person in front of him with a meaningful look.
Chu Liuzheng didn't notice that she was sighing while being careful not to touch the body in front of her and quickly taking off her soft underwear.
All that's left is the pants.
She took a quick look and felt that this was not her job, so she consciously carried all the dirty clothes out of the screen, took out the clothes she wanted to change, and hung them on the screen one by one.
"Master, I'll be waiting outside. Just let me know if you need anything."
A faint "hmm" sound came from behind the solid wood screen painted with peonies, followed by the sound of running water.
Chu Liuzheng stood there for a while and didn't hear Xiao Jingfan's instructions, so he took out a blanket for wiping his body, a handkerchief for wiping his hair, a sandalwood comb, hair oil and other miscellaneous things that might be needed later from the box.
When everything was ready, Chu Liuzheng suddenly saw a shadow reflected on the door.
Thinking that everyone in the inn was her family, she didn't think much about it and went straight to open the door.
Chen Xing, who was eavesdropping on the door, felt his legs go numb. Before he could stand up, he cried out "ouch" and fell headfirst onto Chu Liuzheng's legs.
Chu Liuzheng startled her. He bent down to help the man up and looked at Zhou Yuande, who was smiling outside the door, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing at the door?"
