"Princess..." He spoke in a low voice, deliberately lengthening his voice, causing Su Tong inside to shiver all over and causing a splash of water.
"What are you doing!" Su Tong slapped her hand hard on the wall of the bathtub and began to regret not clearing him out completely before taking a bath.
"I remember that the last time I took a bath, the princess helped me get towels twice." As he said this, he stood up, with a charming smile on his lips, and slowly leaned towards the screen.
"For the sake of fairness, I decided..."
"I got my own towel!" Su Tong was stunned, and she quickly realized what he was referring to. She was so anxious that she immediately sank into the bathtub, leaving only her head exposed, "I'm telling you, don't come in!"
"Then did the princess forget to take anything?" Xuanyuan Hao added with a smile, "It doesn't matter, you are my concubine, and it is right for me to do something for you."
The more uneasy she is, the happier Xuanyuan Hao is.
Like a hedgehog trapped in a cage, he watched her fight with the trapped animal with peace of mind.
"Xuanyuan Hao!" Su Tong finally roared out, "What do you want to do! If I stay outside well today, I will treat you as a gentleman. If you come in, I will..."
"Just what?" Xuanyuan Hao asked, the smile on his face getting even bigger.
Although I didn't mean to violate him, it still gave her a sense of psychological accomplishment to let her do it for a while!
"Your Majesty!" Just when Su Tong was furious and at a loss, the eunuch's sharp voice came from the door, announcing, "Empress Li Fei is here to see you."
"Concubine Li?" Xuanyuan Hao frowned and groaned, his voice soon returned to normal, "Let her wait in the side hall, I will be here soon."
Fortunately, this palace is quite large, and there is a spacious living room next to the room. But Xuanyuan Hao doesn't understand, what does Concubine Li, who has never had anything to do with him, want to do with him?
"Huh..." Su Tong inside heard him say this and couldn't help but exhale, finally able to take a bath with peace of mind.
"Princess, then I, the king, will..."
"Go away!" Su Tong responded without hesitation, not being polite to him at all.
Li Fei sat on the chair with a slight smile, looking dignified. She looked to be in her early thirties, but the heavy makeup on her face made her look much older.
Next to her, there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing obediently, and Li Fei kept telling her something, making the girl nod repeatedly.
"Empress Li Fei!" Xuanyuan Hao came in and called her politely.
"I have met the Third Prince!" Concubine Li also stood up quickly and bowed Yingying. She was unambiguous in her etiquette, "Today I heard that the Third Prince lives in the palace, and I came here to pay a special visit."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li, you're welcome." Xuanyuan Hao smiled slightly, his tone distant and polite, so that Concubine Li could not figure out what he meant.
After a pause, he looked at Concubine Li who was hesitant to speak, and finally couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what the purpose of Concubine Li's visit today is?"
"That's it..." Li Fei coughed awkwardly, then pushed the girl next to her out, let her stand in front of Xuanyuan Hao, and then introduced her, "This is my niece, Li Shuangshuang, Li
The family has always entrusted her to me to take care of her, and I have been thinking that this child cannot stay with me forever, but..."
After hesitating for a while, she spoke slowly: "She can only be a maid in the palace. She is destined to be a slave anyway, so I want the third prince to take her in as a maid, which is better than the palace."
Come feel more comfortable."
That Li Shuangshuang kept his head down, listening to Empress Li Fei's introduction, twirling her fingers uneasily, not even daring to look at Xuanyuan Hao - of course she knew the purpose of her sister-in-law leaving her with the Third Prince, and she thought
The third prince would be as rugged as the emperor. I didn’t expect that the third prince would be so good-looking!
"This..." Xuanyuan Hao smiled lightly, but a chill flashed through his eyes. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the two women in front of him. He obviously knew that their purpose was not that simple, so he simply declined politely, "Since
She is the niece of Concubine Li, so it seems inappropriate for her to be a maid beside me."
"Then why don't you take her as your concubine?" Li Fei said anxiously. As soon as the words came out, she realized her rashness and quickly shut up and lowered her head.
"I already have a princess, so this matter... is even more inappropriate." Xuanyuan Hao refused directly without thinking, and his face instantly darkened. He couldn't help but think of Su Tong's little face, even with the little face in front of him.
The two women were no longer in the mood to play around.
"Then let's be a maid! Anyway, I hope the prince can..."
"Empress Li, I am tired. We will discuss this matter later." Xuanyuan Hao interrupted her and without giving her a chance to plead, he stood up and left, leaving her alone in the living room.
He would rather go back and tease Su Tong!
****
"Sister-in-law!" As soon as Xuanyuan Hao left, Li Shuangshuang called out reluctantly, "What you just said made me so embarrassed!"
"What do you know!" Concubine Li's face became much gloomier, "The emperor is critically ill, and his death will be a matter of time! I have no heirs. If I don't find a big tree to hug me as soon as possible, I will wait until the emperor dies.
