Chapter 337 What Is This Cloth For?
After returning from the Forbidden Army camp, Xie Yuan asked people to boil hot water and prepared the soup room. She drove out all the palace people who were doing things, and inserted the door from the inside, loosened the clothes, and began to take a bath. .

This was the only benefit she got from leaving the frontline camp and living in the princess mansion.

She can close the door and take a bath with peace of mind. As long as the water is not cold, she can take a bath for as long as she wants without worrying about being seen.

The chest that has been tied up all the time can only be loosened when taking a bath, for a little relaxation and breathing.

Xie Yuan soaked himself in the water, and just as he sighed comfortably, he heard two maidservants whispering outside.

"Why does the son-in-law always take a bath alone and not be waited on? If you don't add some hot water in the middle, you will easily catch a cold." A little girl said softly, her tone was very gentle and considerate.

"The son-in-law is a soldier, so the washing time is short, and there is no need to add hot water." A young girl with a capable voice said.

"Then someone has to wipe his back or something... How can a person wash it clean?"

There was a pause in the middle, and suddenly that capable voice asked with a smile:
"Are you worried that the son-in-law won't be able to wash himself clean? I think...you want to take this opportunity to wipe his body."

"What did my sister say, I don't mean that." The voice of the gentle maidservant was shy.

Hearing this, Xie Yuan rested his head on the edge of the bathtub, feeling helpless and bored.

When I was a child, I always felt that the sky and the earth were vast and interesting when I climbed up to the top of the house at home.

Later, I joined the army and ran all over the world. Although it was dangerous and my mind was tense all the time, I also felt that the world was vast and the sky was big.

But since I got to know Princess Huaizhen and entered the princess mansion.I always feel that other people live in a different world from myself.

Princess Huaizhen, and these little girls, including Ma Shuo who challenged her because of jealousy.

They seem to only have some love between men and women in their eyes, as if who they like and who they don't like is the whole life is important.

Or it could be what you ate today, what you wore today, what someone said, what thoughts you were hiding, who you offended, and so on.

Sometimes Princess Huaizhen pulls her to talk about "interesting things", that's all.

Really boring.Xie Yuan couldn't help thinking.

Her upturned chin half-closed her red phoenix eyes, as if she was asleep, but she frowned slightly.

Just listen to the capable little maid outside saying:

"...I advise you to give up. Although the son-in-law is attractive, he is also gentle. But he belongs to the princess. You don't know the temper of the princess. Even when you get up in the morning, the son-in-law doesn't let others touch you. Yes. I wish there were no women within five steps of the son-in-law."

"Sister, I really don't mean anything else, I'm just curious." The woman with a gentle tone repeatedly defended her with aggrieved tone.

At this time, there were footsteps coming from a distance, and the two of them immediately silenced their voices.

After a while, the voice of the female officer Mo, who was accompanying the princess next to the princess, was heard from outside, and she said in a slightly louder voice outside the door:

"Consort..."

"What's wrong?" Xie Yuan sat up and asked vigilantly.

"The princess asked you to come over and have something to say."

"I see, let's go now." Xie Yuan responded, and immediately got out of the tub, wiped his body, wrapped his chest, and put on his clothes.

Princess Huaizhen's unpredictable temper might break out at any time.

She has no way to control her, so she can only respond to her requests and follow her.

She didn't dare to delay for too long, lest she lose her temper and throw things up and make a fuss... It's even more annoying.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan wrapped up his changed clothes indiscriminately, opened the door with wet hair.

As soon as the door was opened, the two little maids waiting outside, as well as the female officer next to Princess Huaizhen, all stared at her blankly.

Xie Yuan felt guilty and asked, "What's wrong?"

The female officer woke up from the stupefaction, and said with a smile: "Your son-in-law is handsome, maybe it's steaming, your face looks like you've put rouge on it, and it looks even more beautiful."

She was afraid that Xie Yuan would be unhappy, so she held back the words in her heart that looked like a woman, and changed the words.

Xie Yuan dodged his eyes for a moment, lowered his head slightly, and said coldly, "Let's go."

As soon as he turned around, a piece of clothing in his arms fell on the ground, and was quickly picked up by the little maid standing beside him.

It was the sackcloth Xie Yuan used to wrap his chest...

The little maid blushed, lowered her head slightly, and said to Xie Yuan: "My son-in-law, what are you doing with your clothes in your arms? Give it to us, and leave it to the servant to wash."

As soon as Xie Yuan heard her gentle voice, he knew who she was, and he was even more embarrassed, and said, "I can wash it myself, don't bother."

She looked at the sackcloth in the hand of the little maid, her meaning was very simple, she wanted her to return it.

But the little maid smiled, her face was a little red, she turned over the piece of cloth intentionally or unintentionally, and asked curiously:

"My son-in-law, what is this piece of cloth used for?"

Xie Yuan had a reasonable explanation for this, and said without blushing:
"It's used for loincloths. Wearing armor will rub your waist, which will cause injuries." He paused, "I'll do it myself."

As he spoke, taking advantage of the servant girl's inattention, he snatched the linen from her hand.Wrapped in clothes again, he turned and left.

Officer Mo followed behind Xie Yuan, and suddenly turned around to look at the gentle maid, her eyes were full of displeasure and scrutiny.

Seeing that the little maid lowered her head in fear.

With such a moment of hesitation, Xie Yuan had already gone far.

Miss Mo didn't care about other things, she trotted quickly and followed, shouting as she ran, "My son-in-law, wait for me..."

Xie Yuan neatly put his clothes into his room, and when he came out again, the female officer followed panting.

Xie Yuan asked directly: "Ms. Mo, what did the princess call me? Is she in a good mood?"

Officer Mo panted with difficulty, and said: "Fortunately, she just came back from the banquet for appreciating plum blossoms. She heard that you had returned from the Forbidden Army's camp, so she sent a servant to call you. I can't tell that she is in a bad mood. look."

Xie Yuan let out an "oh", in his hand was a dry white cloth towel that he grabbed casually from the house, and wiped his head while walking.

She thought for a while and asked, "Do you know Ma Shuo, the son of Ma Guogong? How is the relationship between the princess and him?"

When Officer Mo heard this, her complexion was as if she was dying, embarrassingly colorful, she looked at Xie Yuan and laughed twice, and then said:
"My son-in-law... this... why are you asking this? This is all in the past."

Xie Yuan felt even more curious, and said, "I'm just asking."

"This... If you want to ask, you can ask the princess directly. I'm a servant, so I can't say anything." Ms. Mo was very embarrassed.
