Chapter 166 Are you taking a shower and putting on clothes?
Zhuoqingchi, although it sounds like a pond, is actually a large royal resort located in the suburbs of the capital. The emperor often went there to enjoy himself, so there is a special teleportation array in the palace, and getting there is just a matter of teleportation.
When Ye Xiaoman arrived at the destination, she saw that the venue was extremely gorgeous and extravagant. She could even recite an "Ode to Afang Palace" on the spot to describe it. The words "covering more than 300 miles and stretching endlessly" and "a building every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps" were so luxurious that a taxpayer would feel palpitations at the sight.
Ye Xiaoman tried hard to hide her naiveté and was led into a small palace behind a row of palace servants.
A large pool was dug out in the middle of the ground, paved with jade, and prepared for a flower bath.
Ye Xiaoman asked the maids to guard the doors and windows strictly, while she carefully checked the area around the hot spring pool.
Everything is normal.
The spring water has been tested with magic tools and is not poisonous.
Ye Xiaoman sat for a while and found that nothing unexpected happened, so she felt relieved.
So she went to take a bath happily.
She took off all the magic weapons on her body. According to the custom of the poor, valuable jewelry should not be soaked in water.
Then take off the layers of heavy palace clothes.
My fellow villagers from the slums, I have made it big again. I can even bathe in a pool as big as the emperor's!
Ye Xiaoman ran like Monkey King, dancing and jumping as she jumped into the hot spring.
She washed away the colorful petals on the water, clearing a path for them.
She swam around first, then floated on the water with her eyes squinted.
It’s so comfortable.
The gurgling sound of the spring covered up many subtle sounds.
Ye Xiaoman did not notice that the maids and guards outside the palace had been knocked down silently, and the palace door had been opened silently.
A pair of dark black shoes belonging to a man stepped in.
Fingers slid across the beaded curtain, the nine palace lanterns flickered, and layers of palace gauze hung from the roof, catching the sudden evening breeze in advance and dancing in a daze.
Ji Wenyi stopped in front of the last layer of bead curtain. Through the swaying pearl light, he could see a shadowy figure.
He walked without stopping, lifted the curtain, and saw the snow-white shoulders facing away from him, with long hair covering the back.
His gaze barely lingered, moving away from the snow-white little shoulders. The person in front of him was humming a messy tune and rubbing his arms with a bath towel.
Ji Wenyi walked towards her, following the steps that extended to the bottom of the pool.
The dark blue Taoist robe was soaked by the spring water. He raised his hand leisurely, with a bright red petal between his fingers.
The woman in front of him finally realized that something was wrong.
She stopped moving like some cunning little animal and turned her head back warily.
"King Rui...?"
Ji Wenyi wore the Taoist robe that Ji Weiming usually wore, dressed just like Ji Weiming, and stood there with a smile on his face, "This king has come to see you."
As he spoke, his sleeves moved slightly, placing restrictions on all four sides of the bathtub and recording the following scene.
If a prince has an affair with a concubine, he will be killed.
But what if it was a concubine who seduced the prince? The prince would be innocent and only receive a slight punishment, but the concubine would be doomed to death.
The eldest princess who was married off to a foreign country could not be killed. If she was guilty, she would be beheaded first and reported to the emperor later.
Ji Wenyi waited for Ye Xiaoman to pounce on him and make some ambiguous moves.
At first glance, Ye Xiaoman thought it was Ji Weiming who came to see her again, but she felt something was wrong, so she took another closer look...
Oh shit, it’s actually that poisonous snake Ji Wenyi.
Ye Xiaoman was surprised and happy.
The good news is that the target of the mission finally showed up.
What was shocking was that Ji Wenyi wanted to kill her every time he saw her, and this time, if nothing unexpected happened, he should be here to take her life.
I knew it, the emperor would never call her to take a hot spring bath in the middle of the night.
Ji Wenyi was getting a little impatient waiting, "Aren't you coming over?"
Ye Xiaoman asked calmly, "Why should I go there?"
Her mind raced as she slowly turned her body towards him.
Ji Wenyi's face immediately darkened. "Where are your pajamas?"
Ye Xiaoman followed Ji Wenyi's gaze and lowered her head. The spring water, covered with a layer of petals, just soaked her chest. As for what was beneath the surface...
She was depressed: "You take a shower and put on clothes?"
The woman in front of him was completely naked, yet she showed no shyness in front of the man. Ji Wenyi was puzzled: "Aren't you ashamed?"
Ye Xiaoman was even more upset: "You don't feel ashamed for peeping at me taking a bath, so why do I need to be ashamed?"
She regretted not placing a surveillance device, otherwise Ji Wenyi would have been caught red-handed when he spied on her taking a bath tonight and would have been sent to reincarnation.
Ye Xiaoman put her hands on her hips and asked, "Did you enjoy watching your stepmother take a bath? If you're done, get out. I'll take your mom's bath."
The charming atmosphere of the hidden sunshine is gone.
Ji Wenyi raised his eyes and glanced at the center of the formation diagonally above him. The jade slip was still recording.
He suppressed his impatience and smiled very gently with a face exactly like Ji Weiming's: "You gave me a handkerchief, and I thought..."
Oh, it turns out you are here to clean up the mess for your younger brother. What a dictatorial patriarch you are.
But Your Highness, the way your brother looks at me is so gentle that tears can be squeezed out of me, unlike your eyes which are full of murderous intent.
Ji Wenyi probably has never loved anyone before, and his performance as a lover was full of flaws, which made Ye Xiaoman laugh out loud.
She acted with him, like an Oscar-winning actress guiding a young actor who had just started in the industry.
Ye Xiaoman raised her little face in shock and looked at Ji Wenyi, then took a few steps back in fear, covering her heart with both hands - seeing Ji Wenyi's expression of "I didn't cover it just now, what is he pretending to do now", it was really funny.
Ye Xiaoman disgusted Ji Wenyi enough before speaking tremblingly, "Your Highness Prince Rui, why do you say that?"
She whimpered, each word accusing:
"I've just arrived in the Divine Realm and don't know the local customs. You asked for my handkerchief, so I gave it to you. I didn't expect you to have such blasphemous intentions. I thought you were a gentleman before."
Ji Wenyi was rarely at a loss for words.
His information was limited, and he didn't expect that Ji Weiming, after serving him for so long, was still just a bootlicker.
Although his younger brother is a useless one, as an older brother, he feels really frustrated at the moment.
A ball of petals hit his chest and burst.
"Walk."
"If Your Highness continues to behave inappropriately, I will definitely tell His Majesty."
Ji Wenyi closed his eyes and took off the petals stuck on his face. This time it was a snow-white magnolia flower.
He smiled gently, raised his hands in surrender, and slowly took a step back.
Ye Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief. She survived the first round of fighting with Ji Wenyi.
Unexpectedly, Ji Wenyi stopped again. He was as elegant as jade, clear and graceful. "Gong Zhaoyi, I heard that people with ghost syndromes can easily become mentally ill."
He crushed the restraint and said regretfully, "I encountered you in a violent and violent state tonight, and I had no choice but to kill you. I'm truly sorry."
He changed her address to "Gu". He was so confident that she would die here that he didn't bother to hide his identity.
Ye Xiaoman secretly cried out that something was wrong and immediately turned around and swam towards the shore.
She took off her defensive and communication magic weapons and placed them on the edge of the pool.
