Chapter 302 Peeping
Fu Ning lifted her skirt and stood on tiptoe... but she wasn't even as tall as the window!
There's nothing we can do; our spirited little princess is actually a shorty!
Because Su Junyao and Lu Wenzheng jointly impeached the Third Prince last time, he has not yet been granted the title of Prince and left the palace, and is still living in his own palace.
The Wenhe Hall is not in the center of the palace, but rather to the west. If you don't look carefully, you can easily miss this palace, but once you go inside and take a closer look, you will find that this palace is almost a replica of the East Palace, and even the gate seems to be more magnificent than the others.
Fu Ning and Qiu Qiu crawled in through the dog hole that was essential for leaving the palace, while Princess Jing Ning stayed outside to meet them.
They overheard the palace servants talking and learned that the Third Prince was bathing in a side hall. This was a golden opportunity.
The two sneaky individuals bypassed the lax palace servants and finally found the place where the Third Prince was bathing.
Although the Third Prince was not a good person, their behavior was also quite perverse.
Therefore, the scenario described above occurred.
Fu Ning turned around to look for Qiu Qiu, anxiously calling out to Qiu Qiu, who was hiding behind a pillar: "Qiu Qiu! Qiu Qiu!"
Chirp peeked out with her little head: "What?"
Fu Ning stood on tiptoe and demonstrated it to Qiu Qiu, then told her heavily, "You can't reach it!"
Chirp: "..."
Helpless, Qiuqiu followed Fu Ning's example and lifted her skirt to run over.
As the saying goes, two little babies are better than Zhuge Liang. Chiu Chiu, with her awkward horse stance, focused her energy and shouted, "Chiu Chiu is fat, step on Chiu Chiu!"
Fu Ning is so skinny, if Qiu Qiu steps on her, she'll break!
Her face flushed red, and she repeated, "Step on the chirp."
Chiu Chiu's stance was unsteady, her waist slightly bent like a little shrimp. Her chubby back looked very reassuring!
Fu Ning struggled to climb onto Qiu Qiu's back, pressing her head down with her left hand and gripping the door frame with her right, finally managing to ride on Qiu Qiu's shoulders with great effort.
Chirp chirp: (。︿。)
Hey... get up!
The two little ones stood up like a human pyramid, and if you ignored Chiu Chiu's legs shaking like a leaf, they were still quite perfect.
Fu Ning licked his finger and poked the window hard as Qiu Qiu had instructed. "Huh? It didn't break."
"Push harder!"
As instructed, Fu Ning poked hard, inserting her entire finger, and finally managed to pry open the white gauze curtain on the window. Feeling guilty, she looked around nervously before pressing her face against the curtain.
At this moment, the Third Prince was taking a bath, the steam rising from the tub was alluring. The Third Prince was facing away from the window, and the palace maid serving him tested the water temperature before stepping aside. Her clothes were slowly removed, revealing her smooth shoulders.
Fu Ning looked intently at her third brother's back, and her first thought was—her third brother is so fair-skinned!
My second thought was—there was nothing there!
Fu Ning blinked hard, afraid she might miss something. Only when the clothes were about to fall below her waist did she slowly look away.
There's really nothing there!
She carefully hopped down from the top of Qiuqiu's head and solemnly told her the cruel news.
"Third Brother, no."
Chiu Chiu was anxious, wondering if Fu Ning's eyesight was bad. She always looked listless, so what if she was still half asleep and made a mistake?
Just as Qiuqiu was about to go and verify it herself, Fu Ning grabbed her arm and pulled her behind a pillar to hide, saying, "Suck your tummy."
Chiu Chiu held her breath and then saw the little palace maid who was serving the Third Prince's bath come out from inside. She was carrying a basin and other items in her hands, and she couldn't make room to close the door, leaving a gap about half a person's width.
After everyone left, Chiu Chiu knew her chance had come.
Ultimately, the task of spying fell to me.
Chiu Chiu told Fu Ning to keep watch outside while she sneaked inside.
When she entered, the Third Prince had already stepped into the bathtub, with only his back exposed. Just like Fu Ning had seen earlier, his skin was flawless and smooth, even more delicate than a girl's.
I certainly envy his good skin, but the fact that he's not Turkic is a great disappointment to me!
Just then, the Third Prince suddenly turned around, startling Qiuqiu so much that she covered her head and squatted down.
The Third Prince spoke in a hoarse voice: "Die'er, is that you outside?"
Chiu Chiu pinched her nose, afraid that her breathing would disturb him. There was no Butterfly here, but there could be a father! She just didn't know if he wanted her.
"Butterfly? Butterfly?" The Third Prince called out twice but received no response. He found it strange. "I clearly heard footsteps, how come no one is here?"
Chiu Chiu was smug, a silent smile spreading across her face. How could someone as agile as her be easily discovered!
The Third Prince may have moved a couple of times, and then he heard a soft, pattering sound of water in his ear, followed by water droplets falling from his head.
She raised her hand and touched the flower petals, which were still wet with water.
Taking a bath is quite a ritual. When I get home, my mom puts flower petals in the bathwater so I can smell nice too!
Fu Ning, who was waiting outside, thought: At a time like this, she still has the mind to think about taking a bath?!
Once Qiuqiu was sure the Third Prince wouldn't notice her while he was taking a bath, she darted out, leaving only a swirling gust of wind to prove she'd been there.
She leaned against the wall and patted her chest. What a close call! She almost got discovered!
She shook her head, a little disappointed: "No."
Fu Ning's face also fell. "No."
I've confirmed it twice; if it's not there, then it's really not there.
The two little ones left dejectedly, and no one noticed that the little palace maid who had just left had appeared at the corner of the corridor at some point.
Once the person was out of sight, Hu Die quickly walked out.
"So easy to fool."
She curled the corners of her lips into a smile, wondering how her favorite male lead, Qiao Muyang, had died at her hands. But it didn't matter; she would avenge him!
She pushed the door open and went in without any concern about seeing anything she shouldn't, a stark contrast to her cautious demeanor just moments before.
The Third Prince sat comfortably in the bathtub, his arms outstretched and resting on the edge. Seeing Hu Die enter, he revealed a wicked smile, "Gone?"
Hu Die slowly walked to the bathtub, half-kneeled against the edge, and looked at him shyly and bashfully: "Third Prince, they're gone."
The Third Prince turned his head to carefully examine the woman who had gone to such lengths to show herself in front of him. He had seen countless beauties, and to be honest, Hu Die's delicate and pretty appearance was really nothing to him.
But this woman strangely attracted his attention, as if he were irresistibly drawn by fate.
He pinched Hu Die's chin, their eyes meeting. As he reached for his arm, Hu Die let out a soft cry and moved closer, her hand resting on his shoulder, timidly calling out, "Third Prince?"
The Third Prince chuckled, with a hint of nonchalance, "Butterfly, can you tell me why you knew that Qiuqiu and the others would be here today?"
He abruptly released Hu Die's chin and stood up abruptly from the water. Before Hu Die could cover her face in embarrassment, she was confronted with a soaking wet white cloth.
His lower body was covered by something, and although he didn't want to admit it, he was genuinely afraid that Qiuqiu would barge in recklessly.
He ignored the little brat who always ruined his plans; his interest in the woman in front of him overwhelmed everything.
He peeled off the human skin from his back and threw it at Hu Die's feet, staring intently at her: "What exactly do you know?"
Hu Die avoided the topic, only telling him, "Third Prince, you don't need to doubt my loyalty. You know, with me here, this Great Zhou empire will definitely be yours!"
Since she transmigrated, she is the female lead!
If the male lead dies, then choose a new male lead!
Tomorrow I'm on a special forces trip back to my alma mater for a day trip, so I'm writing tonight to stock up on drafts! Hehe, have a great May Day holiday, everyone!
