But Chen Qin, who felt that she had suffered a lot, was not willing to do so. Perhaps God was helping her. He Xuan accidentally drank aphrodisiac wine at the New Year's banquet.
He happened to see Chen Qin being humiliated by the servants of Shangshu Mansion, and he helped her. However, when Chen Qin took off her clothes willingly, he fled in panic.
After all, their identities were thousands of miles apart. He didn't want to humiliate her, so he jumped into the glacier and froze for half a night. After suppressing the effects of the medicine, he lost his ability to have children.
Afterwards, Chen Qin became He Xuan's concubine.
But Li hated her so much that they quarreled. Li died early because of anger, while Chen Qin lived a few more years, but died due to illness and weakness.
Zhizhi is ready to take action during the New Year's banquet.
Coincidentally, spring comes after the New Year.
She guessed that by then He Xuan would have found a maid.
The maids in the Rongguo Marquis' Mansion are all carefully selected, and those in He Xuan's Courtyard are even more so, as they have to go through a series of selections.
It can only be done after Li's approval.
He Xuan came back early today and took a shower early.
He entered the bathroom and found Bai'er rushing in with a pale face, nervously handing He Xuan a change of clothes.
"Why are you here?" He Xuan frowned. He was used to being served by Zhizhi, and he felt a little impatient when he saw Bai'er.
Today Zhizhi was busy in the embroidery room, so it was her job to help He Xuan take a bath.
Seeing He Xuan's cold face, Bai'er's heart trembled.
She explained repeatedly,
"Zhizhi is very skillful and has gone to mend your clothes, so I came to help you set up your bathroom."
She hurriedly put away the clothes that she had hastily fumigated, and thought to herself that Zhizhi was not only dexterous, but also good at fumigating clothes. She usually finished fumigating clothes easily, but it took her a lot of effort when it was her turn.
The fragrance cannot be too much or too little. If the smell is so strong that it offends the prince, it will be her fault.
Seeing that He Xuan didn't say anything, Bai'er breathed a sigh of relief and left.
Sitting in the spacious bathtub, He Xuan closed his eyes and thought. Behind the censor who impeached him stood his political enemy, and the two had disliked each other for a long time.
The last time he went to the Minister of Personnel's residence, they had already set their sights on him.
It seems that it is best not to go to the Shangshu Mansion during this period of time.
Chen Qin accepted a lot of banknotes from him, which was probably enough for him to survive the winter.
Previously, while trying to catch a flower thief, he had entered Chunhua Courtyard. There were few servants in the courtyard, and even the coal was of the lowest quality and pungent.
Isn't it true that the Minister of Personnel's mansion was rude to Chen Qin, just like being rude to the Marquis of Rongguo's mansion?!
How could He Xuan not be angry about this?
He suppressed his anger, bathed and changed his clothes, then asked his servant to secretly deliver a batch of high-quality silver charcoal to the Shangshu Mansion, and told Chen Qin to contact him after the New Year if he had any problems.
After the first month of the year, the Chinese New Year will come.
The affairs of the Dali Temple were becoming increasingly busy, and he could not spare the time to deal with these trivial matters for the time being.
Therefore, for several days in a row, He Xuan returned after midnight, and once even returned at one o'clock.
Zhizhi had no choice but to heat up more water in case of emergency.
The next day.
Zhizhi went on duty yawning.
She felt a little impatient, as she had to go to work again.
He Xuan got up early, so the servants naturally had to get up even earlier.
Look, he got up at Yinshi (five o'clock), and a quarter of an hour later He Xuan came out to practice martial arts again, full of energy.
He just wiped his body with hot water in the morning and didn't need to take a bath.
Zhizhi lowered her eyes and waited at the side. Seeing He Xuan take off his underwear quickly, Zhizhi quickly put the wet handkerchief on him and wiped his back.
Her movements were delicate and gentle, and every time she wiped, He Xuan felt uncomfortable.
He glanced at the docile maid who was almost a head shorter than him, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The imperial court held court only once every ten days, and only officials of the fifth rank could attend. The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple was of the fourth rank.
Today he was wearing official uniform, which was slightly more complicated than his usual clothes.
Seeing the maid getting closer and closer, He Xuan had to reach out and touch her forehead. Her white skin was tender and smooth, and the touch was very good.
Zhizhi looked up in confusion.
He cleared his throat.
"Never mind. I'll do it myself."
If he continues to dress like this, it will take him some time to walk.
Zhizhi said "oh" and obediently stepped back.
He Xuan's fingers left the warm forehead and covered the cool official uniform again. He Xuan unconsciously retracted his fingertips.
He glanced at Zhizhi without leaving any trace.
"I have a lot to do today, so I won't be back until midnight. You can heat up some water and fumigate your clothes later."
After saying that, he walked out the door.
Zhizhi was immediately furious. He came back late at night every day. It was really unlucky to have him!
Fortunately, she doesn’t have to be on duty tomorrow, otherwise life would be unbearable!
Only after He Xuan finished his work and came back to take a shower did Zhizhi go to sleep peacefully.
The next day.
Even while covering herself with the quilt, Zhizhi could hear the majestic sound of sword energy coming from outside the window. She suddenly dived into the quilt, curled up like a shrimp tail, and fell into a deep sleep only after the sound died down.
There is one bad thing about being a slave, and that is the poor sound insulation.
They can hear any movement of their master.
He Xuan asked for water to wash up and then coldly scolded Zhizhi, who frowned.
"The wiping force is too weak, please change someone!"
Song'er was almost crying.
Who can she replace?
The old maid who guards the gate?
Why did the prince suddenly become so difficult to serve?
They have never been treated like this before.
She quickly called over the strong Bai'er, who blushed as she quickly wiped He Xuan's face. He Xuan put on his casual clothes and left with a sullen face.
The servant Hui Mo quickly followed He Xuan.
"Your Highness is still worried about the unsolved case at the Dali Temple?"
It was an unsolved case that had been in the Dali Temple for five years. It was uncovered by He Xuan, and he had been trying to solve it recently.
Ever since his eldest son entered the Dali Temple, he changed his lazy style and solved many cases with great vigor and determination.
