The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Chapter 196 Please bring in hot water

It was already midnight when all the guests had left.

The little prince fell asleep under the care of his wet nurse, Dingdang and Anxiang.

Xu Ke returned to his dormitory, which was completely new.

The red gauze curtains fluttered gently, and the candlelight danced on the silver candlesticks, making the whole room look like a dream.

The ground is covered with a soft velvet carpet, and walking on it feels like walking on the clouds.

There are several pots of newly opened flowers on the windowsill, emitting a faint fragrance.

On the low table beside the bed, there was a plate of snacks and a pot of fine wine. The aroma of wine and flowers intertwined together, intoxicating.

Chu Musheng had been waiting here for a long time.

He was wearing a loose robe, leaning lazily on the edge of the bed, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, looking evil and wild.

Wait quietly.

Seeing Xu Keke coming in, he stood up to greet her and gently held her in his arms.

"My dear, you have worked hard today."

Chu Musheng's voice was low and gentle.

Xu Keke raised her head slightly and looked at his face.

"Your Majesty, you smell so good!"

Chu Musheng smiled slightly, took her hand and walked to the bed and sat down.

"Come, have a drink with me."

The two sat opposite each other, clinking their glasses gently, the wine swirling in the glasses.

It was like the deepest feelings in their hearts surging layer by layer.

Xu Keke took a sip of wine, and her face flushed like a peach blossom, adding a bit of shyness and charm.

She glanced at the prince and knew that he had been planning this for a long time.

I'm afraid the arrow is on the string and has to be shot tonight.

Chu Musheng finished the wine in his glass and looked at her intently, his eyes full of affection and attachment.

"Keke, from the time we met until now, you have always been this king's treasure."

His voice is low and magnetic, as if it carries endless magic.

Xu Ke smiled slightly and drank the wine in one gulp.

She put down the wine glass, turned around and put her arms around Chu Musheng's neck.

"Your Majesty, I am honored to be able to accompany you!"

Xu Keke's cheeks looked particularly charming in the candlelight.

Chu Musheng couldn't help but reach out and stroke her hair.

"My dear, you are so beautiful."

Xu Keke sat on his legs and asked directly.

"My Lord, what do you want?"

Chu Musheng groaned and reached out to help Xu Keke untie her dress.

"Don't be afraid, my beloved. I will be gentler..."

Xu Ke's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Your Highness, have you asked the imperial physician?"

Chu Musheng kept moving his hands and spoke softly.

"I have asked, and Doctor Zhang said it is fine."

Xu Keke hit his chest lightly in a coquettish manner.

Are you really going to ask?

I don't know how he can have the nerve to talk about this kind of thing.

And as for Doctor Zhang, it’s better not to see him in the future.

Before she could think about it, Chu Musheng pushed her down.

Xu Ke whispered.

"Your Majesty, please keep your word."

"Ok!"

Chu Musheng's hot breath sprayed into her ears.

"Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I will love you well."

The curtain fell lightly, and the candlelight shone through the gauze, reflecting the graceful figures of the two people.

I don’t know how long it took, but everything returned to calm.

Chu Musheng held Xu Ke tightly in his arms and kissed her forehead gently.

"My beloved, I want to be with you forever in this life."

Xu Ke could snuggle in his arms contentedly.

"Your Majesty, I feel the same way."

At this time, the voice of the old woman asking questions came from outside the room.

"Princess, could you please bring in some hot water?"

Xu Ke blinked. How could the water delivery woman calculate the time so accurately?

Could it be that he has been eavesdropping outside?

Thinking that the sound just now seemed a bit loud, Xu Keke suddenly buried her head in Chu Musheng's neck out of embarrassment.

Chu Musheng patted her back soothingly.

Said to the outside.

"Get some water and put it at the door."

The old woman responded and quickly placed the hot water at the door.

Chu Musheng stood up, gently put Xu Keke down, covered her with a blanket, then put on his clothes and went to get hot water.

He brought in hot water, put it aside, wrung out the towel, and gently wiped Xu Ke.

Xu Ke's face was red, but she couldn't bear to take her eyes off him for a moment.

"My Lord, I will stay with you like this for the rest of my life."

Xu Keke's voice was soft.

Chu Musheng responded with a smile.

"That's natural."

After everything was cleaned up, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms again. That night, they had sweet dreams.

The next morning, sunlight streamed in through the window lattice.

Xu Keke slowly opened her eyes and saw Chu Musheng looking at her with a smile.

"My beloved, please sleep a little longer. I have just gone to see Xuan'er and now I have to go to the palace to handle government affairs."

Chu Musheng said gently.

Xu Ke was allowed to get up.

"I will wait for you to wash and change your clothes, Your Highness."

Chu Musheng held her down.

"My dear, there's no need to do this. You were exhausted last night. Get some rest."

Xu Ke insisted.

"Don't stop me, my lord. This is my wish."

So, Xu Ke helped Chu Musheng finish washing up, and then carefully put on his court clothes for him.

Chu Musheng looked at her serious expression and chuckled.

"My beloved, wait for me to come back and I will love you again tonight."

Xu Ke stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.

"it is good!"

Chu Musheng responded for a while, then turned and left.

Xu Keke leaned against the door, watching Chu Musheng's receding figure until he could no longer see her, then returned to the room.

She sat in front of the dressing table, recalling the sweetness of last night, and her face couldn't help but blush again.

"Princess, may the servants come in?"

The maid's question came from outside.

"come in!"

Permission to stand up.

Dingxiang and Yaju, two maids who served as makeup girls, came in to help the princess wash and put on makeup.

Dingxiang was combing Xu Keke's hair and said with a smile while looking at Xu Keke in the mirror.

"Princess, you look so good today."

Xu Ke touched her cheeks and found them really rosy. Could it be the effect of the prince's moisturizing last night?

She patted Dingxiang's hand lightly and said angrily:

"You are so sweet-mouthed. I look so good, which means you have served me well."

Yaju said as she helped Xu Ke choose the pearl flowers to wear today.

"Princess, yesterday was a very happy day. The ladies of the official families who came all praised your good recovery."

Xu Ke nodded slightly.

"Okay."

She remembered that almost all the women who came yesterday were married women.

There were almost no young ladies, and they thought to themselves, could it be that the prince had some explicit regulations for his banquets?

Dingxiang picked up a box of rouge and said.

"Princess, this rouge color suits you perfectly. Would you like to use it today?"

Xu Keke took a look.

"No need to put on rouge or powder. I'm going to accompany the young prince in a while, so you don't need to do anything for now."

Dingxiang agreed and put away her rouge.

Yaju asked from the side.

"Princess, may I choose a pair of simple earrings for you?"

Xu Ke nodded.

"Well, pick something light and easy, so as not to bump into the little prince."

Yaju quickly selected a pair of pearl earrings and presented them.

Xu Keke was satisfied with it and asked her to help him put it on.
