The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 93 The Timid Liwu

Li Wu giggled as she spoke, and Jing Wei also praised her, "Your singing and dancing are truly unique, and so beautiful. Your Highness will surely like it."

"But don't forget what the General Manager taught us just now."

Li Wu laughed and said, "Don't worry, I remember everything. First, you must be absolutely loyal to His Highness. If your loyalty is not absolute, then you are absolutely disloyal. Second, you must be honest and never hide anything from His Highness. What His Highness hates most are fools and smart-aleck people."

Jingwei nodded: "You must remember, from now on, His Highness is our only master."

Li Wu nodded repeatedly on the side.

The next morning, when Jingwei was on his way to the palace, the sun had just risen. How beautiful was the first red glow of the morning. The boundless darkness all retreated under the shining of the majestic sun. The light illuminated the world and his own life as well.

When Jingwei and Liwu walked to the front of the palace, they were stopped by the maid Dongxue: "His Highness is practicing, do not disturb him."

Jingwei looked at the maid who was about the same age as herself and could clearly feel the hostility between the two of them. Of course she knew why, but she was not stupid enough to argue with His Highness' personal maid right now. After all, she had just arrived.

Jingwei said calmly: "His Highness ordered you old men to teach us. His Highness also needs to tell us about his daily habits. If there are any mistakes, you are also responsible."

Dongxue was about to say something, but a companion beside her pulled her back and shook his head at her.

Dongxue walked aside angrily and stopped talking. Her companion Xia Yue smiled apologetically at Jingwei and quietly told them about Ying Zheng's daily routine and training habits.

"Your Highness practices the Taoist dharma, and he must ingest the essence of the sun and moon every morning and evening. Therefore, he gets up before dawn every day to prepare for practice. He meditates and practices Qi for half an hour, and then practices external skills and swordsmanship for another half an hour. After practicing, Your Highness needs to bathe and change clothes, and then go to court to learn and handle government affairs. In the afternoon, he will personally inspect the Crown Prince's guards, and occasionally inspect the Imperial Guards and the City Defense Forces, and sometimes they will also participate in training together."

"After returning, I will supervise and inspect Master Chengjiao's study progress. Finally, I will go to the Queen Mother of Beigong to greet her. We will have dinner together. I may stay in Beigong or return to the Crown Prince's Palace to practice for another half an hour after watching the sunset. I will take a bath before going to bed. Please note that His Highness likes cleanliness and tidiness the most. All the big and small things in the palace must be placed neatly and cleanly."

"There are many things that need to be decided by Your Highness personally on a daily basis, as well as many banquets that need to be attended. You will also often go to the two Queen Mothers to pay your respects."

"These are just your highness' daily routine. In fact, there are more political affairs and trivial matters. Your highness is truly busy all day long and has no rest all year round."

"There are many details. You should pay more attention to them in the future. You should do well what His Highness has told you to do. You should also think about what he has not told you to do well in advance."

After listening to this, Li Wu was extremely surprised and asked: "Does Your Highness have so many things to do every day?"

Xia Yue nodded: "Yes, Your Highness does this every day and has never slacked off. The world only knows that Your Highness is blessed by heaven and has extraordinary talent, but few people know about Your Highness's hard work and perseverance."

Li Wu said: "This is too much work. Your Highness is of noble status, so there is no need to do this, right? Can't you just leave many things to the people below?"

Xia Yue rolled her eyes at Li Wu and said, "I'm kindly advising you not to say such stupid things in front of His Highness. His Highness doesn't like stupid people." "Your Highness's great ambitions are beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

At this moment, Ying Zheng's voice was heard from the bedroom: "Come here, prepare for a bath."

Xia Yue and Dong Xue went in immediately. Jing Wei was still hesitating, so Li Wu pulled her in.

When Ying Zheng saw the two of them come in, he just glanced at them again.

Ying Zheng loved cleanliness the most. In the prince's bedroom, there was a set of bathing facilities designed by Gongshu Jia, as well as a bathing pool that was ten feet square. This set was not inferior to those in later generations.

Dong Xue, who was the most hostile to Jing Wei, was the first to walk to Ying Zheng and took off his clothes in the most gentle manner. Xia Yue quickly followed. Jing Wei and Li Wu had never seen such a scene before. Ying Zheng had strong blood and energy, and had never slacked off in his external skills training. He had developed very well. The two of them saw everything they should and shouldn't see in the mist. Their faces turned red for a moment, and they stood there at a loss as to what to do.

After Ying Zheng entered the bathing pool, two maids also took off their outer clothes and entered the bathing pool wearing only their inner clothes to wash Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng closed his eyes and said nothing. Li Wu came to her senses and immediately plucked up the courage to take off her shoes and enter the bathing pool, but she did not dare to take off her clothes. If she really took off what she was wearing, there would be nothing left.

For some reason, the steward did not ask them to change into the standard maid attire of the palace. Xia Yuedongxue on the side did not say anything else, but she was very angry in her heart. Who could she show them in front of if they dressed like this? But in front of Ying Zheng, she would not show it at all.

It was the first time that Li Wu did such a thing. After all, she was young, so she mustered up the courage to enter the bath. But she didn't know what to do for a moment. Her left and right were occupied by Xia Yue Dongxue. After thinking about it, she didn't dare to go directly in front of Ying Zheng. She slowly walked behind Ying Zheng, only one foot away from him.

The hand holding the chiffon silk bath towel trembled slightly as it slowly wiped Ying Zheng's back. Her snow-white tender hands could clearly feel the hot body temperature. A strange feeling surged in her heart. She had never been so close to a man before. This was a strange feeling she had never had before. Li Wu felt her legs go weak, her heartbeat began to quicken, and her breathing unconsciously began to quicken. She was already in a trance at this time.

Ying Zheng felt Li Wu's quickened heartbeat, which was no different from the four little girls around him before. He still needed to get used to it. He smiled slightly, suddenly reached back and grabbed Li Wu's wrist, and pulled Li Wu in front of him with a clever move. Li Wu, who was in a trance, was startled. Suddenly, Ying Zheng whispered in her ear: "Why are you running behind me with a quickened heartbeat? What are you thinking? What do you want to do? Are you going to assassinate me?"

Li Wu was so frightened that she subconsciously wanted to kneel down and admit her mistake and explain. However, she choked as soon as she lowered herself into the bathtub. Ying Zheng quickly supported Li Wu's arms and pulled her up. Li Wu supported her arms on Ying Zheng's strong chest and coughed repeatedly. Ying Zheng gently patted her snow-white back and laughed, "Why are you so timid? It was just a joke."

Li Wu finally stopped coughing, tears still in her charming eyes, she looked truly pitiful, and said in a delicate voice: "Your Highness is a bad man, you scared me to death. I would never hurt Your Highness even if I die." There was even a hint of tears in her tone.

Ying Zheng pretended to be angry: "How dare you say I am a bad person? This is disrespectful. You are courting death."

Li Wu was so scared that her face turned pale. Before she could say anything, she heard Ying Zheng laughing again: "I can see that you are really timid. You must be well behaved when you are with me in the future. You can't be so timid when you are with me."

Li Wu then realized that His Highness was still teasing her. The fear in her heart disappeared and she was overwhelmed with joy. She couldn't stop her tears and a few of them slipped down quietly, revealing a beautiful smile.

A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Ying Zheng with tears in their eyes, tenderly and coquettishly, "Your Highness is right, I will definitely take good care of you."

Even Xia Yue, who had a relatively good temper, was secretly gritting her teeth at this moment. This vixen, how could every move she made be so seductive, she was worthy of being from Luowang. Your Highness, you must not fall for Luowang's beauty trap, this vixen has no good intentions!
