Chapter 35 Bathing
Chapter 35 Bathing
Pingcheng, Ping An Inn.
Although Pingcheng is not under the foot of the emperor, it is also the closest place to the imperial city, needless to say it is bustling and lively.Ping An Inn is the largest inn in Pingcheng, and it is already crowded with people at night.
This kind of big inn generally provides food and lodging, unlike some small country shops, which only have a place to rest, and you have to prepare your own dry food.
It was getting late, and the lobby was full of people, all eating.A diner spoke with a strong foreign accent and praised: "As expected of Pingcheng, it is much more lively than the corner of my house, and the food in an inn is better than the most famous restaurant in our place. If you come out, you can see it." The world, the best things in the world are here."
Another diner said: "You have never been to Yujing, have you heard that poem? Yujing is white in the sky, that is the real fairyland on earth. Don't say anything else, just say that the best food is in Yujing The building is full of flowers."
As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately echoed by most of the diners.
"Who doesn't know Huamanlou's signature dish, squirrel mandarin fish? This taste is only in the sky, so how often do you taste it in the world?"
"Liu Taiwei judged it as the best delicacy in the world. Today's holy majesty personally certified it, and even inscribed a plaque for that flower full of buildings. The taste is better than that of the imperial court."
"Sweet but not greasy, soft and delicious, once you eat it, you will never forget it in your life..."
Someone asked: "Every one of you is talking about the truth, but has anyone really eaten it? To tell you the truth, I came from the north of Saibei, and I just heard about this squirrel mandarin fish. tasty."
The diners, who were talking about you and me, suddenly fell silent.
Apparently none of them had eaten it, and they had only heard of its reputation.
After a long while, someone said: "Then my dear, you are going to return for nothing. Squirrel mandarin fish has a price but no market, and you can't eat it if you have money. You have to have the right. The dignitaries of Yujing have to rush to line up. We Ordinary people can't join in the fun."
The diners quickly changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, do you know that Her Highness the Queen has returned?" a scholar-like person asked.
"Did you crawl over from the border? This is news three months ago! Your Majesty announced it to the world at that time!"
"Don't scold, don't scold, our news is naturally not as good as yours who live near the imperial city. Why don't we be happy for Her Highness the Queen?"
"After His Majesty was abolished, people all over the world condemned him with words and pens. Afterwards, he acted... well, it's worth not to say anything. After three years of trouble, it turned out to be Yelang's trick. Yelang really has no good things!"
The news that Xie Chongjin's absurdity in the past three years was caused by Yelang has spread throughout Changli under the impetus of the royal family, which has made his popularity rebound to a certain extent, and the people have transferred more hatred to Yelang.But if you want to reach the pinnacle of fame and be truly loved by the people, you have to make actual achievements.
After all, it is a matter of great loss of prestige for the king of a country to be assassinated and controlled for three years.Xie Chongjin chose popular support between popular support and prestige.If he doesn't choose both, he can improve at least one.
He wasn't afraid that Yelang would find out that they were framing and pushing the pot.The relationship between the two countries is a deadly enmity, and this enmity is not bad. Even if the Yelang royal family clarifies that they did not do it, not to mention Changli does not believe it, it is estimated that Yelang's own people do not believe it.
"Yujing was not peaceful in the past few months. His Majesty has killed many dog officials, and Yujing's blood flowed like a river. It can be seen that there is no Yelang to obstruct it. Our Majesty is a wise king."
"Who else remembers that before His Majesty ascended the throne, he was the most outstanding heir of the four kingdoms? How many important events did His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess do together? Even the late Emperor, the Prime Minister, and the Great General of Qin lamented that the younger generation is awesome. I don't blame Yelang for that." Be afraid, the first thing to do after planting Gu is to abolish the empress, to drive a wedge between His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Queen..."
"Hey, I just hope that His Majesty and His Highness the Queen can reconcile as before, and don't be divorced because of Yelang's instigation..."
The diners downstairs were talking about it, and the recent changes in Yujing have become the talk of the folks after dinner.
In the upstairs room, Xie Chongjin was making the bed.
The two asked for an upper room.As soon as he entered the room, Xie Chongjin replaced all the sheets and bedding in the room with his own.
The accommodation conditions in the Ping An Inn are not bad, and what they want is the best room, which can't be compared with the palace, and it is considered the top level in the inn.
But no matter how good the things are, they have been used by others. Even if they are washed clean, Lu Xuechao will definitely not contaminate such personal items as sheets and bedding, and Xie Chongjin will not let him contaminate them.
——This is a lesson of blood and tears.
Lu Xuechao has been well-raised since she was a child, she wears silk and pillows, and uses the latest and best. Except for the pain of illness, she has never suffered, and there are two words all over her body-delicate.When I was young, I went out with Xie Chongjin to treat disasters, and stayed at a farmer's house at night.The family's condition is not good, the bed is made of coarse cloth, the rough texture is very abrasive, it is an environment that the children of the royal family have never been exposed to.The two grew up in rich clothes and fine food, but they thought they were not people who could not bear hardships. At that time, there was no other family in a radius of ten miles, so they stayed there for one night, and left after leaving a few taels of silver the next day.Lu Xue tossed and turned that night and didn't sleep well, but she didn't complain.Xie Chongjin was worrying about the disaster, how could he complain about such a trivial matter.
But if he doesn't say it, his frail body will speak for him.After that, Lu Xuechao developed a rash on his body, his snow-white skin was red and red, and he felt uncomfortable all over.Xie Chongjin was very annoyed, and kept the lesson in mind, and every time he went out, he had to bring a full set of personal accessories, and the carriage was rebuilt so that people could sleep comfortably.If you really can't find suitable accommodation outside, you will make do in the carriage.
In taking care of Lu Xuechao, Xie Chongjin wasn't born to be handy.He was born as a prince, so he didn't know how to take care of others. From the beginning, he only knew how to order others, and now he can personally make the bed for Lu Xuechao, which can be described as an evolution.
Xie Chongjin quickly changed a complete set of bedding, and his movements were so skillful that it made people feel distressed.He never let Lu Xuechao do these jobs, only because Lu Xuechao could cook, Xie Chongjin felt that he had to do everything else.Usually in the palace, these things are done by the palace staff, but now outside, he should take care of them.
Lu Xuechao sat on the chair and watched Xie Chongjin busy, propped his head with his fingers, and slowly rubbed his temples.Unlike Xie Chongjin, who is physically strong and healthy, he is still alive and well after sitting in the carriage for a day. No matter how comfortable the carriage is, he will feel dizzy after sitting for a long time.
After rubbing her temples for a while, the dizziness subsided a little, and Lu Xuechao felt a little thirsty, so she picked up the teapot and poured herself a glass of water.
Xie Chongjin finished laying out the bedding, turned around and saw Lu Xuechao was about to drink from the teacup in the inn, and immediately said: "Don't drink!"
The sudden increase in volume caused Lu Xuechao to shake his hands in shock, and the tea splashed out and wet his eyelashes.
"..." Lu Xuechao forbearably closed her eyes, wiped off the dew on her eyelashes with her fingertips, passed the tea cup to the tip of her nose and sniffed gently, then looked at Xie Chongjin, "Non-toxic."
With their identities, they always have to be on guard against assassination at any time, and someone has to test poison for three meals a day.Whether because of status or safety, things will not be used second-hand.When Xie Chongjin yelled, Lu Xuechao's first reaction was that the tea was poisonous.
"It's not poisonous, the cup in the inn was used by someone else." Xie Chongjin took out a brand new tea set from his bag, and served him tea and water, "I brought it from the palace, use this to drink."
Lu Xuechao was speechless for a moment: "...so well prepared."
He still thought it was something bulging in the baggage, Xie Chongjin was not surprised when he took out the whole quilt from it, he didn't expect that even the tea set was prepared.
"How dare I miss the things you use?" Xie Chongjin said casually.
Lu Xuechao was drinking tea when there was a knock on the door of the room. As soon as he looked up, Xie Chongjin had already opened the door, and outside the door was the waiter who came to deliver the food.
The waiter in the shop took a look, and saw the guest who opened the door in a long and phoenix posture, with a swallow jaw and a tiger neck, with a handsome appearance and a magnificent bearing.And the young man in white who was sitting and drinking tea inside was even more beautiful and charming, and when he glanced over, he was like a god.
Just being looked at like this is like being enlightened.
He was dazed.He has been a waiter in the shop for many years, and he is used to seeing all kinds of customers, so he has a sharp eye by himself.The two guests in Room No. [-] in Tianzi looked decent and generous when they entered the door. Even though they still covered their faces with masks and hoods, they could tell that they were extraordinary.I never thought that Zhenrong would be so magnificent, maybe it was a nobleman from Yujing...
It's a pity that before he could take a second look carefully, the guest who opened the door had already completely blocked the figure of the young man in white.
But this guest was also too good-looking.He has seen so many people, but he has never seen such a good-looking couple.No wonder you have to cover your face when you go out...
Everyone has a desire for beauty, men in Changli pay attention to their appearance, as much as they pursue their character, otherwise they wouldn't be able to make a list of beautiful men.People who are too good-looking will be surrounded by crowds when they walk on the street.Therefore, many handsome men choose to wear masks or veiled hats when traveling.
The shop waiter came back to his senses, blushed and stammered: "Guest officer, you, I will bring you the dinner you want."
"No need." Xie Chongjin took the tray away and closed the door.
Xie Chongjin put the food on the table: "The food here is not as good as what you cook, so eat as much as you can."
Then he put aside the wooden chopsticks provided by the inn, took out two pairs of brand new silver chopsticks from the bag, and handed a pair to Lu Xuechao.
Lu Xuechao held the silver chopsticks: "What else did you bring?"
He felt that Xie Chongjin just took out a washbasin from his bag, and he was not surprised.
Xie Chongjin: "Dark guard."
The window suddenly opened without wind, and the two hidden guards parked a brand new bathtub in the house, put it down, and quickly left the window, and thoughtfully closed the window tightly.
Lu Xuechao: "..."
Yes, Huaiyun can always exceed his imagination.
There is an entire soup pool in the palace for him to bathe in, so it is not so convenient to go outside.Although the inn has its own bathtub, it has been used by countless people, and neither of them wants to use it.
Midsummer is sultry and hot, and one must sweat a lot when going outside. Although Lu Xuechao has a cool and sweatless physique, he can't stand the weather without taking a bath for a day.
Lu Xuechao ate dinner slowly, he ate slowly, Xie Chongjin was used up, and he was still chewing slowly.
Xie Chongjin called Xiaoer and asked him to fetch some hot water, then propped his head up to watch Lu Xuechao eat.
"Qingshu, eat slowly, and I will wait for you to take a bath after eating."
Lu Xuechao choked violently: "Ahem!"
Xie Chongjin hurriedly patted him on the back, and said amusedly: "Why are you still choking? When was it not me who wiped your body for you in the past? Didn't Qingshu wipe it for me too?"
It's just a simple wipe.
The royal family and nobles don't want to be waited on by others, Xie Chongjin and Lu Xuechao don't like to be watched and take a bath, they always come by themselves.After getting married, it becomes two people scrubbing each other, which can be regarded as a kind of couple's love.
But they seldom bathe together - one is that Lu Xuechao is shy, and the other is that Xie Chongjin has difficulty controlling himself.
Lu Xuechao was reserved and easily ashamed.Although Xie Chongjin is unrestrained and wants to pull Lu Xuechao to try all kinds of play in his mind, he still respects him and won't do anything other than the bed.If in the process of wiping your body, you accidentally have an unsophisticated thought, then hug it to the bed, and then wash it for Lu Xuechao.
Since they got married, they have always been such a model couple, and they have never unlocked the location other than the bed.Xie Chongjin can respect Lu Xuechao for the rest of his life, he has always focused on Lu Xuechao's wishes.
Lu Xue turned her head and said nothing.
Xie Chongjin thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a plot.
Lu Xuechao is also a plot concubine, if you focus on attacking him in the game, it will naturally trigger a special plot, and it is the sweetest of all the plots.
Because the special plots of other concubines are Qingshuixian, the maximum is nothing more than holding hands and hugging, and there is not even a kissing CG picture.
Lu Xue is very wild in this line, the most immortal character design, with the most lustful plot.For this reason, in addition to the complaints of the majority of players, there are still a group of players holding high the banner of the empress, only eating heavy snow cp, and there is still a lot of enthusiasm in the circle.
One of the pictures of the gods in the town circle is the official cg picture - mandarin ducks bathing together.
This special plot is that in the seventh year of pampering the queen alone, His Majesty the emperor still served the queen to bathe, but couldn't help being emotional, thinking of taking the queen back to the palace.
Her Royal Highness, who was always cold and reserved like a fairy, suddenly dragged the emperor into the bathtub.Her face was as red as peach blossoms from the heat, and water droplets dripped into her collarbone along her temples, like a seductive demon clinging to the emperor's neck. She raised her eyes and parted her red lips, "Didn't Your Majesty always want to be here?"
"Sometimes, Your Majesty...you can not respect me so much."
……
Then Xie Chongjin couldn't hold back, and disrespected Lu Xuechao a lot.Since then, the door to a new world has opened.
Naturally, there are no such detailed pictures in the harmonious game, but they have them in their minds.
That's exactly what happened to them.
Xie Chongjin looked at Lu Xuechao's expressionless look, consciously found the reason, and sincerely admitted his mistake: "If you care about that special plot, I'm sorry, I was wrong, Qingshu. I know you are affected by the plot, not sincere I like it, and I won't do anything excessive to you in the future."
The specific behavior of that kind of thing...is not controlled by the game, so he is really an asshole, and he should apologize for playing the flower of Gaoling like that.
Lu Xuechao suddenly turned her head to look directly at him, hesitated to speak, but was unable to speak because of her temperament.
In the end, he only calmly said with unclear meaning: "Xie Huaiyun, your few lifetimes are really wasted."
