"That's right, then you can put it in your baggage first and then change it when you camp at night."
Xizi took the clothes, but he was a little cautious, which made Di Xin couldn't help but smile.
Sunset and dusk.
The cavalry camped halfway along the road.
More than two hundred tents were built on the ground, and more than a thousand people were crowded into these two hundred tents.
The prince of Di Xin, of course, works alone.
He took Xizi into his tent.
"Put on some dry clothes. Everything on your body stinks, and it smelt me all the way."
Xizi's face suddenly turned red to her neck, and she lowered her head in shame.
"The daughter of the people is guilty, please forgive me, Your Highness."
"I didn't say you were guilty. Why are there so many charges? Be obedient and change your clothes quickly."
Xizi took the clothes but didn't move for a long time.
"What happened again?"
Xizi lowered his head and replied: "The civilian girl hasn't taken a bath for several days, and her body... what if it infects Your Highness again?"
Di Xin was a little embarrassed.
"Where can you get hot water and a big basin in this barren mountain? Forget it, forget it, don't wash it, just stay away from me."
Xizi's face turned red again.
His Royal Highness still despises her for being smelly.
"When we were setting up camp, the girl saw a river to the east. Let the girl go there and take a bath."
Di Xin thought for a moment, and it was okay. It was not decent for a eldest daughter to be smelly of sweat.
"Laifu..."
Laifu hurriedly came in from outside: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Di Xin said without thinking: "Take Miss Xizi to the river..."
Then I thought about it, that’s not right.
A grown-up girl from Xizi went to bathe in the river. What if this guy Laifu peeked in?
Laifu is a naughty man and not a good person. That's all. It's better for me to accompany Xizi.
"It's okay, go out and prepare some delicious food for me. I'll be back in an hour for dinner."
"Laifu obeys!"
After Laifu left, Di Xin said: "Miss Xizi, let me go with you. It's getting dark soon. If there are any wolves in the wilderness, there's no chance."
Xizi glared at Di Xin and thought to himself: His Highness is so ashamed. He follows women when they bathe. It is true that there are wolves in the wilderness. In the eyes of the common people, this Highness is also a wolf and a pervert.
"No need to worry, Your Highness, the daughter of the common people can go alone."
"I don't feel safe going alone, so let's go."
Di Xin looked non-negotiable, so Xizi had no choice but to comply with him.
When they came to the river, Xizi found a good place to go into the water and put the clothes he wanted to change on the ground.
"Your Highness, please step aside. There is a big tree over there. You can wait there, but you are not allowed to peek."
Sixteen or seventeen years old is the age when girls are shy, so Di Xin came to the big tree in a very polite manner.
I heard the sound of water rushing behind me.
A strong curiosity and desire to voyeur filled God Xin's heart.
At this moment, he really wanted to look back secretly.
But it seems inconsistent with his identity. How could His Highness Prince Yu be such a dirty person?
Di Xin's heart was as tangled as a cat's claws.
After a while, a rustling sound came from behind, and not long after, Xizi's timid voice was heard. "Sir, I... am already fine."
Di Xin then turned around and looked at Xizi carefully for a while.
"Wow! The water hibiscus is so beautiful and fragrant."
Di Xin was dumbfounded.
Xizi noticed something wrong with Di Xin's eyes.
"Your Highness, am I ugly?"
"No no no no..."
Di Xin suddenly stammered.
"Miss Xizi is really a fairy in the sky, Chang'e in the moon palace!"
Xizi smiled and said, "Your Highness is overly complimentary."
She thought to herself, after taking a shower and changing clothes, would he still dare to say that I stink?
Xizi's figure was as thin as a willow on the river bank, and the maid's clothes looked a bit too big for her.
But it was precisely because of this that Di Xin was fascinated by it.
For a moment, both of them seemed a little embarrassed.
After all, Xizi couldn't bear it anymore and timidly shouted: "Your Highness?"
"Ah...right."
Di Xinfan suddenly woke up and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment. After turning his head to the side, he spoke again: "Let's go back!"
"good!"
The sound is delicate, like the sound of silver bells blown by the wind.
Back in the tent, Di Xin said: "You can stay here tonight."
"What about you, Your Highness?"
"Me..."
Di Xin wanted to say that he also lived there, and the two of them were on the same page.
But then I thought about it. How could a little girl like Xizi dare to live with a grown man?
Men and women are not intimate with each other.
"I will sleep outside your tent and stand guard for you."
When Xizi heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I can't do it. I absolutely can't do it."
Di Xin hurriedly pulled her up: "The dry clothes you just changed into, don't get them dirty, get up quickly."
As he spoke, he pulled Xizi up again.
"I don't want to sleep outside. I have no place to sleep. I can't squeeze in with the servants. How about we live in a tent?"
"Can this... be made?"
"I have to ask you this. If you don't agree, then I will sleep outside."
"How can Your Highness sleep outside? It seems like this is the only way."
The two entered the tent.
Di Xin's tent is very large and has various facilities inside.
A barrel oil lamp was lit on a small square table, emitting a dancing light.
The two of them were speechless for a moment, feeling very embarrassed.
Xizi was very nervous. It could be seen that this was the first time in her life that she was alone with a man at night.
In order to dispel Xizi's fear, Di Xin stopped talking nonsense, picked up a book and pretended to read it.
The atmosphere became even more awkward now. Xizi could neither sit nor stand.
In order to break the deadlock, Di Xin had nothing to say.
"Have you been living in that village before?"
"No……"
Xizi spoke subconsciously and carefully talked about his past.
It turned out that Xizi's village had been looted by bandits as early as half a month ago.
She obeyed her parents' wishes and after burying them, she followed the official path and wanted to join her uncle in Jizhou.
It's just that I couldn't tell the difference between north and south on the official road, so I went in the wrong direction and ended up going this way.
All the way to the village ahead, the dry food was all gone.
I almost got caught by bandits, but I was lucky that I ran fast.
Seeing that he was about to starve to death or be eaten by money wolves in the wild, he finally saw Di Xin's motorcade. Seeing that all the motorcade guards were in the official uniforms of the guards of the Great Li Dynasty, he dared to come forward and ask for some dry food.
After listening to Xizi's words, Di Xin sighed.
"Fortunately you met me."
"Thank you, Your Highness, otherwise the girl would have died in the wilderness."
"Follow me from now on. Stay with me. No one will dare to bully you, and you don't have to worry about starving to death."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After finishing speaking, he ignored Xizi and picked up the book to read by himself.
After coming to this era, Di Xin still had a lot to learn, so he forced himself to spend two hours reading every day.
For more than a month, there has never been a day off.
