Lian Erye in the Red Mansion

Behind Yunhai Wangyue Mountain Villa, there is an area where nothing grows and the whole area is composed of bluish-yellow rocks.

Warm mountain water gushes out from the cracks in these rocks, naturally forming hot spring pools of varying sizes.

At this time, the main hot spring pools were already surrounded by blue cloth curtains.

Within these blue curtains lies an endless spring scene, forever beyond the reach of outsiders and animals.

Beautiful bodies, some slender, some delicate, some sexy, converge here, making the most direct and intimate contact with the warm nature.

"It was a bit cold on the shore, but after soaking in the water, it felt so good. I felt like all the blood in my body was flowing smoothly."

And the water here is so clear... Hey, second sister, look, third sister has a mole here too, just like me."

The water was clear and cool, and steam was rising slightly from the stone pool. Xiangyun pointed to Tanchun's slender waist, which was not covered by her bodice, and said in surprise.

When Yingchun and the other sisters gathered around, Tanchun covered her waist in embarrassment and scolded Xiangyun, "Keep your voice down!"

Upon hearing this, Xiangyun covered her mouth, smiled apologetically at Tanchun, then playfully hugged Tanchun's arm, rested her head on the other's smooth, fragrant shoulder, and whispered:

"Let me tell you, Sister Bao's body is not only fair, but also without any blemishes."

Sisters sometimes talk about private things.

But they would always avoid people.

At this moment, there were only six or seven of them in the pool. When they heard Xiangyun say this, they all gathered together and asked around.

Tan Chun was somewhat skeptical: "Does she not even have a single mole on her body?"

Xiangyun thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Qin."

Xiangyun and Baoqin usually lived in Hengwu Garden. When the sisters occasionally took a bath together, they inevitably saw each other's bodies.

Therefore, Xiangyun's words are quite credible.

At this moment, Xichun suddenly interjected: "What Sister Yun said is true. Yesterday afternoon, I changed my clothes and went the wrong way, ending up at Sister Feng's place."

I still remember that when Baochai was soaking in the clear water, she looked like a piece of luminous white jade.

The sunlight shone on her, making the water ripple and sparkle; she looked so beautiful.

"It feels like Baochai is a beauty who stepped out of a painting."

Everyone laughed upon hearing this: "Sister Xichun is indeed a painter; her depiction is so vivid, it's as if she saw it with her own eyes."

Despite saying that, the sisters were also quite curious about the two men and wanted to see for themselves if they were as mysterious as they said.

Unfortunately, when Sister Feng was allocating the pools, she separated the two pools upstream.

One of the six unmarried young girls takes up a spot, while Feng Jie, Baochai, and others take up another spot.

As for the smaller pools downstream, they were for the use of respectable head maids.

While Xiangyun and the others were discussing Baochai in private, just a few steps away, through a curtain, was another warm pool of water.

Sister Feng, Baochai, Daiyu, and Qin Keqing are all here.

There was supposed to be another sister, Sister You San, but she didn't come today.

In fact, Qin Keqing's presence made Baochai and Daiyu somewhat uncomfortable.

After all, they're from different generations. Besides, this trip was clearly a family vacation, yet Sister Feng insisted on bringing her along as well.

Although the two of them usually have a good relationship, it still arouses suspicion.

Fortunately, none of us were completely naked while soaking; we all had something to cover ourselves.

Moreover, Qin Keqing was gentle and humble, always addressing them as "aunt" or "auntie," so they couldn't easily exclude each other.

"I've prepared it."

Baochai suddenly stood up and walked towards the opening to the shore.

Sister Feng quickly said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's soak a little longer. I was thinking that the four of us could play a few rounds of jade cards together in the pavilion upstairs later."

The view and scenery over there are great.

"It gets really hot soaking in the water, I want to go back and rest for a while."

If we're playing cards, you can let Ping'er or Yingchun take my place.

As Baochai spoke, she waved to the side.

Yu Chuan, who had been waiting there, quickly came over, took Bao Chai's arm, and helped her ashore.

Seeing that Sister Feng was about to persuade her again, Daiyu, her face flushed from being soaked, came to her rescue, saying, "Alright, just let her go."

She's always been sensitive to heat. If you soak her too much, won't that person come after you, sister?

Upon hearing this, Sister Feng smiled and indeed said no more.

Baochai, standing on the shore, glanced back at Daiyu and thought to herself that after becoming close to her, this girl was really quite familiar with her when teasing her.

I need to find an opportunity to control her this once.

With Yu Chuan's arm around his, he returned to the separate dressing room next door, changed his clothes, washed his face, and then led his personal maids down the mountain.

As I walked to the foot of the mountain, I heard faint sounds of orchestral music.

Looking up, I saw the sound coming from the Onsen Palace.

So he stopped and said to Jin Chuan, Yu Chuan and the others, "You two go find somewhere to play by yourselves, Ying'er can stay with me."

"Yes."

After the two maids left, Baochai picked up her feet again and started walking towards the Hot Spring Palace.

The Hot Spring Palace was originally a secluded place, but because Jia Lian moved here, the number of palace servants coming and going increased.

Following the secluded path, it's easy to arrive at the main hall.

"Greetings, Consort Xue."

Jia Lian is now the Crown Prince. Although the grand ceremony has not yet been held, it is no longer appropriate to call Feng Jie and others "princess".

However, calling her Crown Princess would be somewhat presumptuous, since the Crown Prince's investiture ceremony had not yet taken place, so Jia Lian could not possibly bestow the title of Crown Princess.

Therefore, during this buffer period, the way people called Sister Feng and others were not fixed.

The servants would decide how to address their masters based on their personalities and preferences.

For example, the titles of Baochai and Daiyu could be changed to Consort Xue and Consort Lin.

That's definitely true; after all, the Queen Consort is a concubine, and so is the Crown Prince's Consort.

If we really want to point out a difference, it's probably that in the past, when referring to "Princess Xue" or "Princess Lin," the suffix "Your Highness" couldn't be added.

"Is the Crown Prince inside?"

"Yes."

Baochai stepped past the female guards at the palace gate and slowly walked into the palace.

The imagined erotic and absurd scene did not materialize.

Apart from the palace maids standing around, only one beautiful woman with graceful bearing and flowing robes was dancing in the center of the hall.

Jia Lian, wearing a yellow robe, lay reclining on a cool chair, tilting his head to watch the dance.

Beside him, there was only one young girl, who was massaging his legs with her tiny fists.

"Why are you here?"

Upon seeing Baochai, Jia Lian immediately sat up and smiled at her.

Baochai glanced at the beautiful woman dancing in the center of the room, and the woman nodded back at her, but her movements continued without stopping.

"Just now, Sister Feng led everyone to soak in the hot spring, but I felt it was too hot, so I came down halfway through."

I happened to hear music coming from this side, so I came to check it out.

"Haha, you've come at the perfect time."

He was quite pleased to see Jia Lian and even patted his thigh, clearly indicating that she should sit down.

Baochai did not resist and walked up to Jia Lian, letting him pull her to sit on his lap.

Holding Baochai's soft, plump body in his arms, especially since she had just soaked in the hot spring and still had a slightly damp, misty aura, Jia Lian cherished her like a precious treasure, embracing her with both arms and taking a deep breath of her ethereal beauty.

Noticing that Baochai was a little embarrassed, he then smiled and said, "Take a look too, how is her dancing?"

Hearing Jia Lian say this, Shen Pan'er, who was already a graceful dancer, became even more focused, showcasing the beauty of her daughter's body to the fullest.

Baochai looked at it for a while and then said, "I don't know anything about dancing, but this young lady really dances very well. All her movements look very graceful."

Upon hearing this, Jia Lian couldn't help but purse his lips.

He knew that discussing dance with Baochai was a mistake.

Perhaps it would be much simpler to teach Daiyu to dance than to teach Baochai to dance.

It seems that this girl is ultimately different from Yang Guifei.

It cannot be forced, nor should it be forced.

After the dance, normally Shen Pan'er would naturally cling to Jia Lian and act coquettishly.

Now that Baochai is present, she naturally wouldn't do that; instead, she stood very upright to the side, waiting for further instructions.

"You've worked hard too, go down now. Oh, by the way, tell Jiang Yun that the hot spring pool on the back mountain will definitely be available today. If any of you want to soak in the hot spring, let's go together."

"Since we've come all this way, we should at least try everything."

People at the time generally referred to soaking in hot springs as "soaking in warm water," but Jia Lian was the crown prince.

He preferred to call it soaking in a hot spring, and after hearing it a few times, the people around him naturally changed their habits.

Shen Pan'er withdrew as instructed.

As for the palace maids who massaged the legs, they had long since retreated.

So, only a lone man and a lone woman remained inside the main hall.

Baochai was wearing few clothes, and Jia Lian was only wearing a robe, which immediately created a romantic atmosphere.

Baochai knew that Jia Lian must have been thinking of seeking pleasure by sending away a beauty like Shen Pan'er.

She naturally wouldn't genuinely resist this.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come looking for me.

However, this was, after all, a main hall, and there were some unfamiliar palace maids nearby.

So as Jia Lian undressed her and kissed her, she whispered in protest, "Husband, not here..."

Upon hearing this, Jia Lian raised an eyebrow.

On his very first night at the resort, he wanted to see the "Imperial Concubine Bathing Picture".

However, he has many beautiful women around him, and he doesn't want to alert the enemy, so he has dragged it out until now.

Now that Baochai has come to him of her own accord, he naturally has no reason to be polite.

He glanced at the beautiful young woman in his arms, smiled, stood up, and carried her towards the hot spring pool behind him.

Baochai originally thought Jia Lian was going to carry her into the house to have fun, but unexpectedly the surrounding light dimmed for a while and then suddenly became bright again.

Upon closer inspection, they realized they had arrived at a clear spring.

After being put down by Jia Lian, Baochai hesitated and said, "I just soaked in water..."

"Haha, I know. But right now, I want to soak with Chai'er, just the two of us."

Baochai, upon hearing this, immediately understood Jia Lian's meaning and tried to evade the question: "But, I didn't bring any extra inner garments..."

"It's alright. It's just the two of us here. You can just take off all your clothes and go downstairs. Your bra and other undergarments won't get wet."

Baochai rolled her eyes at Jia Lian, said nothing more, turned to the side, and silently began to undress herself.

However, she did not heed Jia Lian's advice. She still left a layer of clothing on herself, then stood by the pool and stepped down the stone steps.

This certainly disappointed Jia Lian, who had been watching the beauty undress.

But I don't care.

They're all in his hands now; whether they're round or flat is entirely up to him.

Without further ado, he unbuttoned his robe, letting it fall freely to the ground, and then, naked, jumped into the pool with a splash.

Almost startled, Baochai dodged the splash and found herself covered in water. She gave Jia Lian a reproachful look and then instinctively shook her head to get rid of the water droplets on her face and hair.

Baochai had a full head of black hair, a beautiful face, and a long, graceful neck.

Such a beautiful woman making this gesture is truly exquisite.

"Don't move."

"What's wrong?"

Jia Lian smiled and stepped forward, taking off the two gold hairpins from Baochai's head, letting her full head of black hair fall naturally onto the water.

"alright."

Jia Lian placed the gold hairpin in his hand on the shore and smiled at Baochai.

Baochai looked around and said with some dissatisfaction, "Your hair is all wet like this. It's not easy for it to dry in this weather."

"It's alright, Ying'er and the others will just wipe it off a bit more later."

The main point is that this kind of hairpin is the most beautiful.

Baochai blushed slightly and naturally didn't say anything more.

"Chai'er, if you shake your head like that again, let me see."

"I won't bother with it."

"..."

Jia Lian was surprised that even Baochai had become mischievous. He grabbed her, lifted her chin, and laughed, "You're being naughty. Now you even dare to refuse your husband."

Baochai raised her eyebrows slightly and replied with a smile, "Sister Lin has rejected her husband so many times, but I haven't seen him say anything."

"Why are you so upset after Chai'er only refused once?"

"Alright, you've really gone astray following Lin Daiyu's example. Let's see how I deal with you."

As Jia Lian spoke, he embraced the beauty in his arms and kissed her red lips.

Baochai knew that all of this was in accordance with the proper order, so naturally she did not object.

Before long, the two were so engrossed in the bliss of lovemaking that they completely forgot where they were.

This benefited several palace maids who were on duty in the backyard.

Having been ignorant of the ways of the world, this was the first time they had witnessed the lovemaking of men and women, and the sight of such exceptionally handsome and beautiful men and women was a shocking experience for both their eyes and souls.

They never imagined that the legendary lovemaking would be so wonderful and desirable.

Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.

The nightingale, hiding in the shadows, was unwilling to let these irrelevant people see her mistress's beauty.

So they contacted Qingwen and others, and drove all the others away, allowing only their own people to peek.

After an unknown amount of time, Jia Lian released Baochai, climbed out of the pond, walked to a reclining chair, and lay down comfortably.

Upon seeing this, Qingwen, Xiangling, and the others immediately took thick towels and came over to dry the water droplets all over his body.

Ying'er bypassed Jia Lian and ran to her mistress's side with small steps. She squatted down and looked at Baochai, who was still lying by the pond, and asked with some concern, "Miss, are you alright?"

Perhaps hearing the voice of her longtime friend, Baochai opened her eyes.

Faced with that concerned little face, Baochai felt embarrassed and lost her composure.

Turning my head, I found the culprit sitting on the recliner.

But the other party returned a provocative and smug look.

Baochai couldn't meet her gaze and had to look away.

After a while, noticing that his breathing had calmed down, he raised an arm to Ying'er and said, "Help me up."

"Oh……"

Ying'er was quick and agile; she took her mistress's arm and helped her up from the hot spring.

During this time, she could clearly see that her daughter frowned slightly when she lifted her leg.

Ying'er, having grown up alongside Baochai since childhood, was more literate than the average maid.

Seeing Baochai like this, she couldn't help but recall a line of poetry from the book:

"Her maidservant helped her up, her body weak and limp, just as she received the Emperor's favor!"

Unfortunately, this wasn't the first time their daughter had received such favor.

It seems the son-in-law is really something else!

Thinking of her embarrassing thoughts, Ying'er almost lost her balance. (End of Chapter)
