Chapter 49 Begging Your Highness to Pamper Me
Just then, a figure approached.
It was Lin Xue'an, who had changed into a light green wide robe.
The color suited him perfectly, and the fabric was the finest Yue silk, which wrapped around the boy's slender figure, making his already fair face appear even more handsome.
As soon as Chen Yanqing saw him, she recalled the intimate scene between the two of them in the woods that afternoon.
The lingering romantic feelings in the tent suddenly sank to the bottom, and he couldn't help but frown.
Why is this person never going to stop?
Being protected by Li Yuanzhao in the woods this afternoon was already a great honor, yet now he dares to approach the princess's bedchamber. What is he trying to do?
Lin Xuean paused when she saw Chen Yanqing.
He keenly sensed that the princess's bodyguard seemed to dislike him.
But he still steeled himself and stepped forward, asking in a low voice, "Guard Chen, is His Highness here?"
Chen Yanqing stood in front of the tent entrance, his tone less than polite: "His Highness is resting and does not receive outsiders."
The eldest princess is taking a bath right now; it is a very private matter. How could she allow outsiders to enter and disturb her?
Lin Xue'an glanced at the tent flap and lowered her posture, "I've come to thank His Highness for his favor. Please have Guard Chen announce my arrival..."
"Whether you're expressing gratitude or apologizing, if I say no, then no."
Chen Yanqing raised an eyebrow, his tone growing even colder.
Her Highness is taking a bath; how can we let anyone in and disturb her at this time?
As a personal bodyguard, he had that much sense.
Moreover, I hate people like this the most, who deliberately choose to come at this late hour, as if they want everyone to know what they're up to.
Seeing this, Lin Xuean sighed helplessly and was about to turn and leave when she heard Li Yuanzhao's voice from inside the tent, "Come in."
Chen Yanqing was stunned.
Lin Xuean quickly stepped aside and lifted the curtain to enter.
Chen Yanqing stood still, gripping the clothes in her hands tightly.
An uncontrollable surge of anger rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He meant well and was thinking of her, so why did she repeatedly humiliate him in front of outsiders?
Is he some kind of despicable person?
Does she feel that she can only follow behind her like a dog for the rest of her life, letting her manipulate and play with her?
fed up!
He's really had enough!!!
He threw Li Yuanzhao's clothes, which he was holding in his arms, onto the ground, and even stomped on them in anger.
Then, remembering something, he quickly picked up the clothes and carefully wiped away the dust.
The tent was filled with steam, and the soft sound of water could be heard from behind the screen.
Lin Xuean stood there, her fingers clenching slightly, her heart beating faster than when she arrived.
He had never entered a woman's bedchamber, let alone the princess's.
To my surprise, she was taking a shower.
"Sit down," Li Yuanzhao's voice came from behind the screen.
"yes."
Lin Xuean quickly sat down on the nearest chair, her gaze unconsciously sweeping over the furnishings inside the tent.
When he saw the large bed covered with a white fox fur coat, his cheeks flushed red, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
The sound of water behind the screen stopped.
A moment later, Li Yuanzhao came out wearing a moon-white outer robe, his long hair wet and hanging over his shoulders, with water still dripping from the ends.
It fell onto the lapel, spreading out a small, dark stain.
Lin Xuean was stunned. It wasn't until Li Yuanzhao walked to the bed in front of him and sat down that he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly knelt down.
"Your subject has come specifically to express gratitude... to Your Highness for saving me this afternoon."
Li Yuanzhao leaned lazily against the couch, propping his chin up, and asked in a flat tone, "Anything else?"
Lin Xuean stiffened, raised her head blankly, seemingly not understanding the deeper meaning in her words.
Li Yuanzhao added, with a hint of amusement, "You specially changed into these clothes to come see me, surely it wasn't just to say thank you?"
Lin Xuean's face flushed bright red.
He hadn't expected that she knew exactly what he was thinking.
He was an insignificant person, neglected at home and disliked outside.
If it weren't for His Highness's intervention today, he would have already become a laughing stock among Cui Jiulang and the others, and he wouldn't be standing here now.
It was at that time that he, with the help of the eldest princess, got a taste of power.
Lin Xuean knew that this was his only chance to get close to the princess.
Besides his admired good looks, what else did he have that could catch the eye of the princess?
Therefore, he specially changed into an outfit that best suited his skin tone before coming.
The purpose was simply... to get her to look at him one more time.
He took a deep breath and mustered his courage to say, "Please... Your Highness, have mercy on me."
The implication behind these words is obvious.
Li Yuanzhao's gaze shifted from his handsome face, slowly sweeping over his slightly trembling shoulders, his straight back, and then to his firm thighs wrapped in his robe.
The boy was slender but not weak, like a carefully tended magnolia, timid yet deliberately alluring.
After seeing his restrained yet yearning expression for a while, she suddenly spoke, "Take off your clothes."
Lin Xuean's eyes were filled with shock. "This...this place?"
Although he knew that his words would inevitably have this result, he did not expect it to be so direct and so sudden.
Li Yuanzhao didn't speak, he just looked at him quietly.
Lin Xuean took a deep breath, stood up, and loosened the belt around her waist in front of Li Yuanzhao.
The light green robe slipped down his shoulders, revealing a moon-white undergarment underneath.
The fabric was thin, and one could vaguely see the boy's well-proportioned frame and taut muscles.
"Continue." Li Yuanzhao's voice was devoid of emotion.
Lin Xuean closed her eyes and trembled as she took off her undergarment.
Her upper body was completely naked in the air, her skin as white as the finest mutton fat jade, pure and flawless.
His chest rose and fell slightly with his rapid breathing, his broad shoulders and narrow waist were outlined in a smooth line, and the muscles in his waist and abdomen were faintly visible.
Seeing that Li Yuanzhao remained expressionless, he asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to take it off again?"
Li Yuanzhao glanced at his taut waistline and said calmly, "Take off all your clothes."
Lin Xuean's face turned as red as if it were about to bleed, but she dared not disobey and could only tremble as she tried to undo the belt around her waist.
The moment his pants slipped down, his entire body flushed red with shame.
Li Yuanzhao, on the couch, maintained his languid posture, leisurely enjoying this "vibrant and sensual" scene.
"Your Highness..."
Lin Xuean couldn't stand her gaze and called out softly, her voice tinged with grievance and shyness.
Li Yuanzhao looked at his tense body standing there and suddenly curled the corners of his lips into a smile. "Not bad."
Everyone has desires, power, money, lust...
But no matter what her desires were, she didn't like to suppress them.
With such a handsome man offering himself up, wanting to use her influence to climb the social ladder, why should she pretend to be aloof?
She patted the bed beside her, her tone languid: "Come here."
Lin Xuean hesitated and moved over, but as soon as she got close to the edge of the bed, her wrist was grabbed.
With a slight exertion, Li Yuanzhao caused him to stagger forward involuntarily and fall heavily onto the bed.
Just as he was about to sit up, Li Yuanzhao leaned over him and looked down at him.
"Speak, what do you want?"
She reached out and picked up a strand of his hair, twirling it around her knuckles. "Do you want to promote your father? Or are you giving you a chance to enter the court as an official?"
Lin Xuean was taken aback by this sudden closeness and stammered, "I...I just want to...stay by Your Highness's side."
