When the banquet from the Zaochun Festival ends, invited guests are welcome home. Along the way, they were unceasingly talking about the events inside the mansion hall of King Changle. The performance presented by Princess Empress Changle really made their eyes open.
A consort really defeated a concubine. No wonder if in the not too distant future, the figure of Princess Empress Changle became quite a known person in the imperial city.
Everyone thought that the daughter of the former prime minister was simply thrown into King Changle's mansion as a pawn of power. But in fact, the pawn actually jumped out of the chessboard.
King Changle was always that lucky. He was always surrounded by great people who were his supporters. Although not interested in the emperor's seat, at least the man has proven that he has the ability.
The war strategy, also a master of government, was a rare blessing for Bingyue. Had Emperor Baili had a clean heart, he would not have suspected his own uncle.
Aren't all emperors the same? When there was a power greater than him, he would attempt to suppress it or grasp it. Emperor Baili was the same. If Baili Qingchen was not good at understanding the situation, perhaps she had long since been exiled to the border due to the deceit and stratagem of her own nephew.
Tonight, King Changle's mansion hasn't changed much. Some servants helped the chief steward clean the hall and tidied up the place again. The remaining food that can not be consumed is put in a wooden bucket and will be used as animal feed. Dirty furniture is transported to be washed in the backyard.
Deep in the eastern courtyard, Baili Qingchen stripped off her clothes and replaced them with ordinary clothes. After tidying up her hair and styling her appearance, she rushed out of the room and walked towards the study room. When the door opened, the distinctive smell of the book immediately greeted him.
Servants know that their king likes to spend time in the study room. The candles that illuminated the room lit up in every corner.
Baili Qingchen took out a notebook similar to an administration book on the table, then slipped it inside her long sleeve. After a few seconds of silence, he turned around and walked out of his study.
“Where is Princess Empress?”
A servant who was often called noisy was surprised by the arrival of King Changle to the western courtyard. It was late and he did not know why his king had come here.
One might say she was stupid and slow to ask for an excuse, when it was clear that her female master was Empress Changle. The husband coming to his wife is a very natural thing.
The maid nervously replied, “Your Highness the Princess is cleaning herself. Do I need to notify Your Majesty's arrival?”
“No need. I'll go in by myself.”
Baili Qingchen opened the door of Qingyi's room. The strong smell of soap was pouring into his nose. The spacious room was immediately filled with a very calming floral scent. Baili Qingchen circulated her gaze, looking for the figure of Qingyi who she said was cleaning up.
His ears caught the sound of water movement. Baili Qingchen stepped deeper, towards a corner covered in a curtain of thin paper. Faintly Qingyi's shadow appeared behind the curtain, in a bathtub that reflected smoke from the warm water.
Baili Qingchen's face started to turn red. Reflexes he immediately turned around and tried hard to swallow his saliva. The fragrance of this relaxing floral fragrance peaked back into her nose.
The waiter did not say so clearly that Baili Qingchen thought that Qingyi was cleaning herself by washing her face and feet instead of taking a bath like this.
Baili Qingchen's movements caught Qingyi's sense of hearing.
“Who's there?” ask Qingyi.
“This is me,” Baili Qingchen replied nervously.
“What are you here for?”
Baili Qingchen is not a pervert who likes to peek at people taking baths. He's a pervert who likes to kiss people. His arrival must have had some purpose.
Qingyi sighed for a moment, letting the warm water spiked with soap wash away her supple, white skin. He slightly submerged himself, letting the water get to his neck.
“I'd like to give a note of the use of the drug in the palace. Since you're in the shower, I'll be back later.”
Baili Qingchen stepped up, but Qingyi immediately asked him to stop.
“There is a white cloth near the closet. Wear it and give me the book,” said the girl.
Baili Qingchen nodded in understanding. The long white cloth often used for blindfolds was then worn and Baili Qingchen stepped up like a blind man.
His feet hit the end of the bathtub and he almost fell. Fortunately Baili Qingchen had good balance and body reflexes until she managed to control herself. When that almost happened, Qingyi's heart skipped a beat. The girl was worried that the bathtub was overloaded.
He opened the notebook while his body was still in the bathtub. His eyeballs moved to the right and to the left, up and down, paying attention to every piece of writing printed there.
“There is nothing strange about this record,” Qingyi said.
“You sure?”
“This note is normal. The type and dosage used for the concubines in the harem were also normal. Could it be that the imperial concubines are really barren?”
“But, it can't be everything, right? Check once again and find out if something is wrong or not with the remedy.”
Qingyi read it once more, but still found no strangeness. Everything's normal. Those herbs were herbs for making fertility herbs and their use did not cross the line either. There's nothing wrong with the record. So where is the error?
“Master, take a look at his book page!” yinghao. The little panda sat at the table next to the bathtub. Qingyi said, then read her book once more while paying attention to each of her pages.
“Me!” exclaims happily. Baili Qingchen jerked. “What did you find?”
“There is one page missing! Someone has ripped it off!”
“What is the missing content that is the cause of harem residents difficult to get pregnant?”
“Entahlah. Clearly, something is wrong with the recipe.”
Baili Qingchen did not expect, there were people who had actually deliberately made it difficult for Emperor Baili to obtain offspring. The man deliberately gave the medicine so that the concubines would not get pregnant for many years.
It was fitting that his nephew had not obtained any offspring since inheriting the throne. As it turned out, that person hid in the Palace Medicine Hall and arranged it well.
Clearly, the man's evil intentions could no longer be tolerated. Causing chaos in the harem by damaging the wives of the emperor was a great and despicable sin. Baili Qingchen could not forgive or let go of that person. He had to severely punish her after the culprit was arrested and interrogated!
“Damn it! How dare they mess up the Emperor's household!”
It was only the first time that Qingyi heard Baili Qingchen cursing violently. Those closed eyes still could not hide the annoyed and angry expression from the owner. Qingyi let out a small laugh, it was possible that he was the only one who had heard Baili Qingchen swearing in the condition of her eyes covered in white cloth.
“You can curse, but don't forget to catch the culprit,” Qingyi said.
“Sure. I'll catch him alive or dead.”
“Then, get out. We'll discuss the details after I'm done cleaning myself.”
Baili Qingchen nodded. But because his eyes could not see, his feet hit the end of the bathtub and he stumbled back.
This time, Baili Qingchen did not have time to adjust her balance and reflexes until she splashed into the bathtub. Qingyi stared blankly in surprise.
Although his eyes were closed, Baili Qingchen was well aware that his skin came into contact with Qingyi's skin which was without any obstructions in the water. He felt an electric shock-like sensation as the two human skin of different sexes touched each other accidentally. Unknowingly, Baili Qingchen's hand had landed where it shouldn't be.
Qingyi's breathing choked and she shouted very loudly, “The bottom is perverted! Get out of here now!”
Baili Qingchen's ears were almost deaf and she instantly broke free. Her clothes were soaked and her body skin was faintly visible. The fabric he wears is quite thin, getting thinner when wet.
Baili Qingchen hurriedly ran out, but because her eyes were closed, she had repeatedly hit a pole and objects around her.
The floor of Qingyi's room was so wet and water was everywhere. Some of the items Baili Qingchen hit fell, some were rolling into the corner of another room. Yinghao let out a loud bang, laughing at the fate of his master's room being thrown into disarray. He laughed more at the incident just now.
Qingyi took a towel and wrapped her body. He looked at Yinghao for a moment, then reached out to his ears. Not only that, Qingyi also threw Yinghao into the bathtub and left him there. Yinghao's short legs were unable to reach the bottom of the bathtub, he floated like a washed up puppet.
From the main room sounds a very clear grunt, “This is why one should not be completely naked when bathing!”
