Trapped In The World of Drama

Prepare the bath water

This morning, Cao Zhi came, to wake Anxin up. Last night, Anxin asked her to help him wake him up. Instead of what, Anxin just did not want to trouble Chunzu who he thought still had to rest.

Not directly waking up, Cao Zhi noticed Anxin first. He then tapped on the woman's forehead, chuckling softly. Not long after, Anxin opened his eyes, the distance between his face and Cao Zhi was only a few centimeters. Quickly Anxin pushed the man, and immediately sat down.

‘’What do you want to do, you want to harass me huh?’’ anxin said full of accusations. Just as Cao Zhi widened his eyes, he was quite shocked by the absurd accusations Anxin had just made against him.

‘’For what I harassed you, talk it in mind first, if anyone heard it, they can be mistaken.’’

‘’If you don't want to harass me, continue earlier, what do you want to do to me?’’

‘’Not harassment, but you want to commit violent acts?’’

‘’What kind of violent action?  Never mind, you better get ready quickly,’’ tell Cao Zhi to immediately turn his body, but quickly Anxin held back the end of the man's hanfu.

Zao turned back, his forehead began to wrinkle, when he saw Anxin who was nagging, now already smiling widely at him. He immediately moved away, putting away Anxin's hand that was holding the end of her hanfunya. I don't know, suddenly his feelings became unpleasant, he felt danger as if he wanted to approach him.

‘’Third prince,’’ call Anxin with his soft voice. There really was something wrong, Anxin spoke softly to him, even calling him the third prince? Oh no, it seems like he should leave immediately, before misfortune befalls him, he thought.

Too late, Anxin had already pulled his hand. Cao Zhi thought too much earlier.

‘’Stop smiling like that, I'm afraid to see it.’’

‘’You were the first to say that,’’ decak Anxin who suddenly became upset, but not for long, she was already smiling again.

‘’Cao Zhi, the kind and handsome third Prince, can you help me?’’

That's right, Cao Zhi thought again.

‘’Can the third prince help me to prepare warm water, for me to use a bath?’’

Cao Zhi's eyes instantly rounded perfectly. Is Anxin not thinking clearly? How could he have told a Prince, to prepare bath water for him?

‘’I'm a prince, how can you tell me to do the usual things the waiters do?’’

‘’Who told you? I told you, I asked you for help. You can't tell which one is telling and which one is asking for help?’’

‘’Stay, how can you make me prepare bath water for you? I never even prepared my own bath water and now you're asking me to prepare bath water for you? You can be punished, because it is considered to have insulted a Prince.’’

Anxin directly raised his hand into the air, asking Cao Zhi to stop his talk. ‘’If you don't want yes don't need, why even threaten to punish me?’’ anxin grumbled, the woman then stood up and stepped towards her bathroom.

‘’Where are your servants, why would they let you do that alone?’’

Anxin stopped his steps, he then turned his body and looked at Cao Zhi. ‘’he was sick, so I asked him to rest.’’

‘’Only your servant is only one, does not in General Gu's residence have many servants?’’

‘’Hhmm, but for that matter like this, I only care about it to Chuncu, I only entrust one person, to take care of all the personal things that are my privacy, even for eating, I only rely on Chuncu.’’

Anxin smiled happily, looking at Cao Zhi who had just helped him to prepare the bath water. He did not force the man, but Cao Zhi suddenly changed his mind and wanted to help him.

‘’How can I shower, if you but stand here?’’ Only then did Cao Zhi realize, after hearing Anxin's words, he quickly walked out of Anxin's bathroom. ‘’Ah sorry, I forgot,’’ he said as he walked away, whereas Anxin could only shake his head. After which, he opened the hanfu and directly entered into his bathtub made of wood.

Not long after, Anxin had already come out, he was a little shocked, when he saw Cao Zhi was still in his room.

‘’Cao Zhi, why are you still here?’’

‘’Waiting you.’’

‘’Cao Zhi if you continue to be there, how can I,’’ points to him, Cao zhi who understands, immediately turns his body, turns his back on Anxin.

‘’What are you doing?’’ asked Anxin with her face.

‘’Quickly, I won't see you.’’

‘’Cao Zhi.’’

‘’Alright, I will wait for you in front of the room.’’ Then Cao Zhi stood up and walked out of Anxin's room. As he said, he was actually waiting for Anxin in front of the room, and did not care at all for the few maids who kept looking at him.

*****

Cao Zhi and of course also Anxin, had just entered the hall, both of them directly paying their respects to the Emperor and Empress.

‘’Great, really great, you've helped the third Prince to uncover the widow's sales case. We have investigated this for a long time, and you really have been very meritorious,’’ said the Emperor with great pleasure while accompanied by laughter. Anxin, that woman was just a strange expression. He said it was not a difficult thing, but why they could take so long. Are they the ones who aren't smart or are they the ones who are too lucky? Her thought.

‘’What's with your face? The Emperor is praising you, say thank you,’’ Cao Zhi whispered to Anxin's daydreams. Quickly the woman lowered her head and conveyed her thanks, although she was actually quite confused, why she should be grateful for the praise given by the Emperor, was that not a natural thing, he said, moreover, he has helped solve one of the problems in the kingdom, he thought again.

*****

With half a jump, Anxin walked out of the hall, the woman was very happy, her face was very bright and while humming.

Cao Zhi could only shake his head and continue to step behind Anxin. Not long after, Anxin twisted her body, then stepped closer to Cao Zhi.

‘’Cao Zhi, I'm rich now, I'm rich,’’ he shouted while prancing pleasure. ‘’Cao Zhi, let's have a big meal,’’ he said then pulled Cao Zhi's hand. The man did not refuse.

Earlier, the Emperor gave a piece of land and a golden box, for Anxin which they considered very meritorious in solving the problems experienced by their kingdom.

*****

Anxin took Cao Zhi to the market, saying he wanted to buy something for the man. Anxin was busy choosing a jade ring, saying she wanted to give it to Cao Zhi, in exchange for the hairpin Cao Zhi had bought for her.

Cao Zhi, the man was just standing beside Anxin, while looking the other way.

‘’Anxin, already bell - ‘’ he said stopped, when he did not see Anxin again. Cao Zhi immediately rushed to find Anxin.
