Meng Xinzhu came back to her senses and looked at her, "It's nothing, I'm just not used to this kind of life."
The tenth princess burst into laughter, "Sister, your hard days are over."
The hard days have just begun! Meng Xinzhu was still looking into the distance with a solemn expression.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? You don't look happy at all!"
"Actually, it would be happier to be an ordinary and unremarkable person in the palace."
The Tenth Princess looked at Meng Xinzhu in surprise, then she nodded again.
On the day of the sacrifice, the Queen Mother and Hongde Longqiu led the imperial concubines, princesses and princes respectively, and hundreds of officials to worship the ancestors of the Moon Kingdom. After all the ceremonies, a Shengda celebration banquet was held in Dongdu. Meng Xinzhu was the first
It was the first time she participated in such a complete sacrificial event, and she felt a little curious and fresh. However, she felt strange that all the sacrificial people were adults, but there were no children, especially the emperor's children. Watch Hongde Long Qiuye
He must be quite young, and the Huang family was known to have many children, so he should have had quite a few children, but none of them came to attend the sacrifice. This is really strange!
Throughout the banquet, Hongde Longqiu's eyes did not leave Meng Xinzhu. It was the first time that she was in public without any disguise, and her plain face highlighted the bright and charming eyes of her eyes. It appeared on her face when talking to the tenth princess.
Their smiles were so contagious. Although I didn’t know what they were talking about, I couldn’t help but be happy when I saw such a smile. Compared with the beauty of Concubine Yue and the delicacy of Concubine Lin, her simplicity, innocence and
The aura was so outstanding. Even the Queen Mother noticed the difference in Zhu Fei and said that the water and soil of Dongdu were more suitable for her body.
In addition to being the old capital of the Moon Kingdom and the resting place of the ancestors, Dongdu is also a famous hot spring place in the Moon Kingdom. Therefore, every time they come here, whether they are princes, ministers, or concubines, they have to take a bath in the hot springs. But Meng Xinzhu
She was not as anxious as they were. While everyone was queuing up to squeeze into the pool, she took a tour of the entire Dongdu Palace, which was much more exciting than visiting a museum.
It wasn't until the night she was about to leave Dongdu that Meng Xinzhu went to the hot spring pool alone. She took off her outer robe and jumped into the spring water. The hot spring pool used by Huang was almost as big as half a competition swimming pool. Meng Xinzhu swam happily for a few times.
After going back and forth, she rested by the pool. She stirred the water with her fingers, thinking of the Huaqing Pool in Shaanxi that she had visited. Perhaps in the Tang Dynasty, Concubine Yang had played in the spring alone like she does now. "The spring cold gives me a bath in the Huaqing Pool."
, the hot spring water smoothes and cleanses the skin!”
She didn't expect that just after she finished reciting these two sentences, applause came from the pool, "What a poem! It perfectly describes the current situation!" Hong Delongqiu was naked from the waist up, with a length of white cloth around his waist. He was standing on the shore, looking at
By Meng Xinzhu.
Meng Xinzhu looked at him and shook her head, "You can't appear upright and you will scare people every time."
"I came in with integrity and integrity!"
Meng Xinzhu turned her head, too lazy to argue with him anymore, and continued to enjoy the warm spring water with her eyes closed.
Hongde Longqiu stood on the shore and looked at her. Even if Concubine Yue saw her coming in this situation, she would pretend to be shy, but she didn't seem to care at all. He couldn't help but frown, how could she ignore it like this?
What about its own existence?
There was the sound of falling into the water, and Meng Xinzhu knew that the emperor had also fallen into the water without opening his eyes. Hongde Longqiu walked to a place not far from her and stopped. He looked at her cheeks that were slightly red due to the heat.
He looked at the fascinating collarbone and half-chest that he saw in the water, and finally stopped at the faint bruise on her right breast. It seemed that Xiao Zhao's attack last time was indeed serious. It had been almost two months, and the bruise was still there.
It hasn't completely subsided. She didn't dare to take the stolen medicine openly, so the injury naturally healed slowly.
"How is the injury on your chest?" Although he was angry that she ignored him, he couldn't help but care about her.
Meng Xinzhu opened her eyes and looked at Hongde Longqiu, "It's okay, I didn't lose my life on that stick anyway."
Hongde Longqiu couldn't help but laugh, "You can't blame Xiao Zhao, he is my bodyguard, and it is his duty to protect me."
Meng Xinzhu shrugged, "I didn't say anything."
Hongde Longqiu walked up to her and said, "Let the imperial doctor take a good look at her tomorrow and take some medicine."
Meng Xinzhu was almost as tall as his shoulders. When she opened her eyes, she could see his strong chest muscles. She nodded, "Okay, I understand. Well - this pool is very big. You can choose a place to soak slowly."
I’m not used to seeing a half-naked man in front of me.”
Hongde Longqiu glanced at himself, then stared at her, and smiled evilly, "I always go to hot springs alone, and I'm not used to being accompanied by others."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I've already come first, you can choose to come back later."
Hongde Longqiu took a step forward. Meng Xinzhu was already clinging to the wall of the pool, with his hands protecting his chest. There was only a punch distance between them. "But I am the emperor, and I have always been..."
"Okay!" Meng Xinzhu stretched out her hand to stop him from continuing, "Okay! No need to say more, I'll let you go first!"
Hongde Longqiu stood in the water and looked at Meng Xinzhu who was walking towards the steps. It's not that he didn't feel pity for her, but it was your own choice. I want to see how you walked ashore naked.
But Meng Xinzhu really had to go ashore and prepare to put on her outer robe.
"You..." Hongde Longqiu pointed at Meng Xinzhu, "Why are you wearing clothes?"
“Who said you can’t wear clothes while soaking in hot springs?”
Hongde Longqiu has never seen such strange clothes. Haha, of course, it was made by Meng Xinzhu. Strictly speaking, it is a strapless dress in modern society plus a pair of jodhpurs. "Are you bathing with your clothes on?
"
"Bath? I just came to soak in the hot spring. Everyone here comes to take a bath. How dirty the water must be. As for taking a bath, I'd better go back to the room and wash up." Meng Xinzhu tied up her outer robe, "Ah, by the way,
Were you surprised that I was wearing clothes just now?"
Hongde Longqiu couldn't help but was speechless. Meng Xinzhu shook his head, "Tsk, tsk, thinking that I have no clothes and asking me to leave first is really not authentic and seriously lacks manliness! Ah, it suddenly occurred to me that we should still be in the fasting period now.
Such a lustful attitude will probably offend the ancestors." As she said that, she clasped her hands together and bowed to the air, "Amitabha, don't blame the ancestors, don't blame the ancestors. Your Majesty, I advise you not to get involved, and to take the initiative to the ancestors as soon as possible.
Please forgive me, so as not to..., I won’t say it anymore, you can think about it yourself.”
Hongde Longqiu watched Meng Xinzhu leave with a look of helplessness. Then he laughed self-deprecatingly. He shook his head. This girl is really a living treasure. He was hurt by her and he couldn't resist.
