Chapter 157 I Relax the Princess's Muscles
After Chunzhi and Huo Zheng became husband and wife, she was often served by him. Although they were very familiar with each other's bodies, this was the first time they took a bath together.
The candlelight in the room was bright.
Chunzhi and Huo Zheng were in the same bathtub, with the water rippling around them, and both of them had irregular breathing.
Chunzhi lowered her head and didn't look at him. She urged him softly, "Hurry up and wash. Then go to bed."
Huo Zheng was not in a hurry to take a bath, but instead applied scented soap to her.
The man's palm was burning hot, and when it touched Chunzhi's skin, she felt hot and anxious.
"I'll do it myself." Chunzhi didn't want Huo Zheng to do these unnecessary things, so she reached out to take the soap, but Huo Zheng refused to give it to her.
Huo Zheng suddenly approached her, causing a splash of water, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "The maids are not here, I will personally help the princess bathe."
Chunzhi had already figured out Huo Zheng's true nature over the past few days. Seeing him approach, she knew what he was going to do. She quickly put her hand on his chest and said, "It's already late at night. You're tired all day, and so am I. Take a shower and go to bed early. Stop making trouble."
Huo Zheng looked at Chunzhi with eyes as dark as ink, "I'm not tired anymore when I see you."
"But I'm tired." Chunzhi said, "I want to sleep."
"Then you can just close your eyes and rest." Huo Zheng said with a smile, "I'll help you relax your muscles and relieve your fatigue."
"you……"
Chunzhi didn't know what to say to him.
Huo Zheng's hands wandered over her body, the fragrance of soap filled the air, and the man's hot breath approached.
It's not like Chunzhi is unaware of it. How could she close her eyes and let him do whatever he wants at this time?
Huo Zheng helped her relax her muscles in the bathtub. Chunzhi refused at first, but the man knew her body too well, and soon she gave up resistance and indulged in it.
The water in the bathtub splashed out again and again, and the candlelight in the middle of the night kept flickering, confusing the night.
In the end, Harue didn't know how she got back to bed.
Huo Zheng cleaned her up, put on her pajamas, and fell asleep holding her in his arms.
When Chunzhi woke up the next day, it was already daylight in the courtyard. The man beside her was no longer there. He must have gone to the morning court.
Chunzhi's nightgown was a little messy, revealing the ambiguous red marks on her body. She was afraid that the maids would see it when they came in to serve her, so she got up and changed her clothes before letting them come in to help her wash up.
When Qingye came in, she said with a smile, "The young master woke up early this morning and wanted to play with Nian'er. Now the two little guys have been playing together for quite a while. I asked Yuzhu and the wet nurse to watch over them..."
Chunzhi was delighted to hear the two little ones were having so much fun. She smiled and said, "I'm relieved that you're doing your job well."
Qingye asked, "The young master likes Miss Nian'er so much. When does the princess plan to give him a younger sister?"
Chunzhi paused. She was already satisfied after having Xiaoxing and had never thought about having a second child.
The maids waiting beside them said with a smile: "The princess and the prince are a loving couple. It's only a matter of time before the young master has a younger sister!"
"Yes, yes, the princess is in good health, and it's all right if she wants to give the young master some brothers and sisters!"
When Chunzhi heard them say this, she couldn't help but blush. She remembered how she and Huo Zheng had acted foolishly in the bathroom last night, leaving the bathtub and the floor a mess. She wondered what these servants would think of them when they cleaned up.
It’s all Huo Zheng’s fault!
Chunzhi secretly made up her mind that she would not let Huo Zheng do this again next time.
After washing up, Chunzhi went to the side room to see Xiaoxing coming back.
Xiaoxing said that he had forgotten his mother now that he had playmates. When Chunzhi passed by, he didn't even raise his head. He was just approaching Nian'er and giving her his night pearl to play with.
When Yuzhu and her wet nurse saw her coming, they all bowed and said, "Princess."
Chunzhi reached out and helped Yuzhu up. "How many times have I told you that you don't have to bow to me in the house, and don't call me princess."
Yuzhu immediately said, "Sister Chunzhi."
Chunzhi responded, walked forward and sat down beside the couch, raised her hand and touched Xiaoxinghui's face.
Xiaoxing seemed to have just noticed her. He raised his little head and smiled at her, raising his hands for her to hug him.
Chunzhi hugged Xiaoxing back and said, "You like your sister Nian'er so much? You even gave her the Night Pearl to play with."
The night-shining pearl given by Princess Anyang is a priceless treasure, but unfortunately it fell into the hands of a little kid who didn't know its value and could only be used as a marble.
Chunzhi originally wanted Qingye to put the night pearl away, but Xiaoxing was so fond of it that he took it out to play with it every day.
Chunzhi had no choice but to ask someone to watch from the side and try not to break it.
When Nian'er was a little girl, she was much more graceful than Xiaoxing when playing with the night pearls. Before she did anything, she would look up at her mother for a while. If Yuzhu nodded or smiled, the little girl would continue. If Yuzhu shook her head, she would stop immediately. She was very well-behaved and lovely.
Chunzhi was relieved that Xiaoxing had such a playmate. She asked Yuzhu and the wet nurse to accompany him every day. She sorted out the accounts of the palace when she had time, and gradually got used to managing the miscellaneous affairs. She became more and more adept at being the mistress of the palace.
Huo Zheng goes out early and comes back late every day to do official business, but no matter how late it is, he will come home to spend time with Chunzhi and the children.
He personally taught Chunzhi how to reconcile accounts, identify and employ people, and manage the affairs of the palace. Chunzhi was smart and learned quickly, and could apply what she learned immediately.
In less than a month, there was no longer any use for him as a master.
After that, Huo Zheng pestered Chunzhi every night to give Xiaoxing a younger sister.
Chunzhi was really overwhelmed by his pestering and felt that she had to find something serious to do to let Huo Zheng leave.
For the time being, I gave up the idea of giving Xiaoxing a younger sister.
She likes children, but Xinghui is still young, and it is good enough for her to have Nian'er as a playmate. It is too early to have a younger sister at this time.
Chunzhi thought about it for a few days and felt that he had a lot of cash in his hands, so he could find some business to do in the capital.
The capital city is full of high-ranking officials and their families, and it is the most suitable place to do business and make money. However, she used to be just a small tofu vendor, and she did not dare to act rashly even though she had a large sum of money in her hands. So she sent Qingye to the Song residence to invite Song Anlan and Song Wan'er, brother and sister, to come over.
Qingye took two maids to Song's house to deliver a message and came back half an hour later.
But Song Anlan was the only one who came.
Chunzhi was a little surprised and asked him immediately, "Where is Wan'er?"
Song Anlan said helplessly, "Ever since you got married, Wan'er has been bored at home all day, and today she went to the bookstore to buy storybooks."
Chunzhi said, "Wan'er wants to read the new storybook. I'll have someone buy it and send it to her. She's going out in such hot weather. Isn't she afraid of getting a heat stroke?"
"Let's not talk about her." Song Anlan was helpless with his sister and turned to ask Chunzhi: "Why did you ask Qingye to come over today?"
