The Choice Queen's

TCQ 46: Sorry, Not Intentional

Li Fengran's entire body felt aching. The hoeing mission given by Nangong Zirui to punish him made him feel arrogant. It could be that he fell into a trap and let Nangong Zirui prank him to punish him!

Already he expected, the punishment from him could not be just a pay cut. Right now, Li Fengran wanted to cleanse himself. The servants of the Su Residence had already delivered the warm water and poured it into the bathtub. Li Fengran told them to come out and let him take a bath.

His body has gone into the bath. The warm water instantly made his muscles feel warm and his body relaxed.

After a long day of fatigue, indulging in a warm bath is indeed the best option. Li Fengran was engrossed in soaking that he ignored the things around him.

At that time, Nangong Zirui entered to discuss their plan of return to the capital. Since Li Fengran was not around and was summoned not to answer, Nangong Zirui searched for him throughout the room. Because the steps were so light, no sound was made.

Nangong Zirui arrived at the side room that was blocked by an elongated paper curtain. He hesitated, but then made up his mind. Perhaps Li Fengran was there and overslept. Nangong Zirui stepped slowly.

“Xiao Feng, someone wants me...”.

Nangong Zirui was unable to continue his words. He was instantly petrified as his eyes met a glance with Li Fengran's eyes.

Then, his gaze descended to the bottom, on the smooth white skin that was not covered in cloth. Under the light of the candle, Nangong Zirui could see Li Fengran's collarbone and the two objects poking out.

Li Fengran was also startled, he was at a loss for words for a moment. But then, he drowned himself until half his face was submerged in the water. He wanted to scream, yet it would only be dangerous. The servants here must be noisier.

“I-I was accidentally!”

Nangong Zirui instantly turned his body. His face flushed and the lump in his throat moved up and down. What did he just see? Soft collarbones, white skin, a straight neck and wet hair?

“I-I will wait for you outside,” Nangong Zirui's voice choked. Suddenly his throat was dry.

He rushed out with his heart racing. Sweaty pouring. A misunderstood person might think that the King has just met a ghost and is terrified. Fortunately, the servants did not notice as their heads lowered and did not dare to look at the King directly.

Li Fengran immediately came out from inside the bathtub, grabbed a towel and dried his body. There was almost a big problem. Had he not controlled himself and shouted, the servants would have barged in.

When people know a man peeks at a woman taking a bath, he is responsible for his life. It was just about that Li Fengran's status changed from Sword Stakeholder to concubine.

Nangong Zirui was waiting for him in the garden. After the waiter served water and tea, Nangong Zirui unceasingly drank. His throat is hot.

The shadow regarding Li Fengran's exposed upper body and his behavior that instantly submerged himself to half a submerged face made Nangong Zirui have difficulty breathing.

“Your Majesty, why is your face flushed? Is Your Majesty overheating?” Mo Wei came and directly asked him. Strange, why did the King keep drinking and his face flushed red? Is he hot? But the air here is pretty cold.

“Inch a little hot,” says Nangong Zirui.

“Should I have the waiter bring me ice?”

“No need. How did it go?”

Mo Wei was assigned to supervise the examination of the account book. So, all day he was pacing the Jinchuan government workspace and watching the accountants calculate the income and expenditure records of each residence collected that night. The result was quite surprising.

“The most problematic is the Xiaoqin Embroidery House. In recent years, the amount of tax paid is not in accordance with what was reported. While the account books of the businessmen and the rich man, there are only a few incompatibilities. That can still be overcome by finding out through the registrars in their respective residences,” Mo Wei explained. Strange, he's a bodyguard, but still has to check his finances. The task this King gave really often deviated.

“What Su Ren is involved in?” asked Nangong Zirui.

“Most possibilities. Bordil Xiaoqin House will not dare to reduce the amount of tax paid and report according to the provisions if no one protects it.”

Nangong Zirui sneered and chuckled. “Heh, you thieving rat!”

“Good, Your Highness.”

Though in his heart, Mo Wei wailed. For the last time, he was thrown out again. After picking up the Queen Mother at the temple, she was told to go to Danchuan. After returning, he is sent to Jinchuan and told to catch the rodents who steal and launder money. Mo Wei felt his fate was really poor.

“Oh, how about Shen Jinglang?”

“Master Shen only wandered around for a day. Sometimes he visited restaurants, then bookstores, jewelry stores, clothing stores, furniture stores, and more. Subordinate does not know what the person really wants to do.”

“Keep watching him.”

“Ya, Your Highness.”

Ten minutes later, Li Fengran walked out of the room in ordinary clothes. His hair was still wet until he let it stay.

When meeting Nangong Zirui, Li Fengran felt a little annoyed and embarrassed. But, here there was Mo Wei so he couldn't possibly look for calculations now.

“I heard you hoeing the fields all day?” mo Wei asked. This topic was irritating to Li Fengran, but he did not dare not answer.

“Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, my whole body is sore. Wh why? Do you also want to help hoe?”

Mo Wei could not help but laugh and she was heartbroken. Finally, the Sword Bearer felt the pain! Imagining when the Little Hand of the Sword Stork swung its hoe and pulled it from the ground made Mo Wei unable to stop laughing.

“Your Majesty is indeed wise and fair,” Mo Wei said. “My Sword, did you just shower?”

Seeing Li Fengran's wet hair, Mo Wei suddenly just asked. Li Fengran nodded, “To fix my body, I need to soak in warm water.”

Mo Wei then looked at the silent Nangong Zirui then looked at Li Fengran and alternated twice. The King's face flushed and claimed to be hot, while the Sword Stakeholder's hair was wet from having a bath. Is this a coincidence?

Unless, unless something happens without his knowledge.

“Ah, so so,” he said while glancing at the two. Mo Wei pretended to be surprised.

“What is so?” asked Li Fengran.

“My Sword, did Your Majesty just see you shower?”

Nangong Zirui widened and spouted out the tea he was drinking, while Li Fengran gawked like a fool. Mo Wei's mouth, need to be gagged with a pot of hot tea?

Mo Wei galloped as Nangong Zirui was about to throw his teapot. The man ran away, not wanting to be targeted by Nangong Zirui. It is better to leave them sooner than to be exposed to tantrums.

Now, only Nangong Zirui and Li Fengran were staring at each other in silence. The situation is really awkward. Each of them did not want to talk about the incident of the shower just now.

"I'll punish him later. His mouth does need to be screened" said Nangong Zirui awkwardly. Li Fengran nodded small.

"Oh."

"We-we're going back to the capital. Pack up," Nangong Zirui continued. Again Li Fengran simply nodded.

"Yes." Yeah."
