stern wife

Chapter 230 She's Different

The servant poured buckets of hot and cold water alternately into the wooden barrel, while the maid stood by and sprinkled the petals from the small basket into the water.

The water is mountain spring water, and the petals float and sink on the clear and transparent water, and the colorful ones are really beautiful.

When the water was almost poured, the attendants bowed and retreated, and the door was immediately closed tightly by the maidservants, and a large twelve-fold landscape screen was moved to the door to block the wind.

A maidservant moved lightly in lotus steps to the stunned Pei Xiaoran who was watching, and invited with a smile:

"Miss, please take a bath."

"Ah? Oh..."

Pei Xiaoran swallowed, stood up and followed the maid to the wooden barrel.

Looking into the barrel, Pei Xiaoran secretly smacked his lips, thinking that after taking a shower, would she still survive under the attack of bees?

The maid said at the right time:
"The servant waits for the young lady to change her clothes."

"No no no need."

Pei Xiaoran quickly refused, even though she had been a queen in her previous life and was served and bathed by others, but at that time she was served by court ladies whom she was familiar with.

But now, all the people around her are people she doesn't know, undressing in front of strangers makes Pei Xiaoran feel very uncomfortable.

However, Pei Xiaoran is the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Suzaku, if he shrinks back and forth in front of the maidservants, won't it make people look down on Suzaku?

They are all women anyway, so what are you afraid of?
Pei Xiaoran started to untie his clothes quickly. He hesitated when he got to the belt, but he still pulled it off, and quickly took off himself neatly.

She didn't stretch out her hands to cover anything, she just stepped on the small wooden steps and stepped into the barrel with her head held high.

The water temperature is just right, and it is very comfortable to soak in it.

And the design of this wooden barrel is also interesting, there is a place to sit inside, and a groove is dug out on the barrel wall of the backrest, when you lean back, you can just put your head in that groove.

Pei Xiaoran just slightly raised her small face and leaned against it, the angle was just right, which made her relax.

She sighed contentedly.

Suddenly something cool fell on her face, Pei Xiaoran opened her eyes in shock, and saw a maid standing on top of her head, holding a small white porcelain bottle in her hand, pouring out something from the small porcelain bottle Something was daubed gently on her face.

Pei Xiaoran asked puzzledly:

"This is……?"

The maid smiled slightly and replied:

"This is the nectar of Sophora japonica collected from high mountains, mixed with a little pearl powder, it can beautify the skin."

Women have always had little resistance to beauty products, no matter what age they are.

Pei Xiaoran relaxed, and let the maid gently smear the nectar all over her face.

After painting, another maidservant came over with a pot of water filled with young wolfberry leaves and lily flowers, and helped Pei Xiaoran wash his hair.

The slender and slender fingers massaged the scalp with moderate strength, and the comfortable Pei Xiaoran closed his eyes halfway, drowsy.

At the same time, a question grew bigger and bigger in her mind.

Since living in the palace is so comfortable, why does Baili Lieyuan always like to run outside?
And I heard from Baili Yunian that her brother always likes to go out during the Chinese New Year.

Isn't Chinese New Year the best time to be with your sister?

Is it really just to deliver tribute?
No, the delivery of tribute can be done by others, and it is not a major matter related to the country, so why do it yourself?
Originally, Pei Xiaoran was not interested in the matter of His Highness Li Wang, he only thought that one day he would catch the opportunity and avenge his previous life.

But this Baili Lieyuan's actions are always unexpected, and people can't help but want to explore.

Thinking about his head gradually turning into a paste, Pei Xiaoran completely closed his eyes, and slowly sank into the dreamland in the extremely comfortable flower petal bath.

Outside, the sky is gradually darkening, and the continuous mountain peaks are only the undulating silhouettes in the twilight.

Baili Lieyuan sent someone to invite Pei Xiaoran to a dust-cleaning feast, but the attendant who went to invite him came back and said that Miss Pei was still sleeping and didn't wake up, and asked Baili Lieyuan if he wanted to wake him up.

Baili Lieyuan shook her head, laughed and said:
"It seems that this journey is really tiring for her. Forget it, let the kitchen put all the food in the pot to warm up. Let's start the banquet after she wakes up."

The attendant bowed his head respectfully and replied:
"Yes."

Doctor Tao, who was playing pitching with Baili Yu Nian at the side, listened to the conversation between the two, and pretended to say casually:

"Your Highness, why don't we eat first? The princess is still young, so she won't be hungry."

Baili Lieyuan looked up at her younger sister, seeing that Baili Yu Nian was playing vigorously, she didn't notice what her elder sister Tao said at all, so naturally she didn't agree with her as usual.

Baili Lieyuan raised her lips and smiled, saying:
"If you're hungry, eat some snacks to cushion your stomach. The king and Xiaoran have already made an appointment. If you miss the appointment, you will definitely be looked down upon by that little girl. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to say that my Lord Yin doesn't mean anything? "

Doctor Tao shook his hand, and the arrow in his hand missed the aim, hit the body of the pot, and then fell to the ground, missing the mouth of the pot.

Would His Royal Highness still be afraid of embarrassment?
I'm afraid it's just an excuse to wait for Pei Xiaoran to have dinner together!
Doctor Tao has lived in this palace for a long time, and he knows that Baili Lieyuan never likes to wait for others. If someone who has made an appointment is late, he will eat directly without any politeness. Save it for the person who is late.

Why is he willing to wait when he comes to Pei Xiaoran's place?
Baili Yunian, who was completely immersed in the pot throwing game, didn't feel the jealousy and depression of her sister Tao at this time, clapped her hands happily and shouted:

"Sister Tao, I won five! Haha! Sister Tao has to work hard!"

Dr. Tao frowned imperceptibly, feeling that Baili Yu Nian was very noisy, and wished to block her mouth directly.

However, there was an extremely gentle smile on his face, and he praised softly:
"His Royal Highness is really powerful, I am willing to bow down to my sister."

Baili Lieyuan, on the other hand, looked at the small arrows all over the ground, and couldn't help but touch his forehead.

Pei Xiaoran is two years younger than his sister. As a result, Pei Xiaoran can already hit the throat of a beast with one arrow.

And his younger sister had been playing all afternoon, and only hit five small arrows in total, and she was so happy to be so silly.

This……

Forget it, dear dear.

Fortunately, Pei Xiaoran didn't make them wait too long.

Pei Xiaoran always felt that there was something waiting for him to do, even though he slept comfortably, he still opened his eyes in a jerk.

Candle lamps have been lit in the room, and the goal is a colorful veil.

Pei Xiaoran sat up straight, looked left and right, scratched her head, she remembered that she was in the tub before... why did she run onto the bed?

Could it be that the maidservants washed her, dried her body, put on clothes, and carried her up?
Pei Xiaoran covered his face.

Probably heard some movement on the bed, a maid came out from behind the veil, bowed profusely, and said:
"Just now His Highness sent someone to invite the young lady to have dinner. I wonder if the young lady is going now?"
