C8 Hypocrisy
The time these palace maids took to run outside was a little too long. Yuan Jinyi waited in the yard for a long time, but these palace maids had not come back yet.
These few days, he had been suffering from a lot of injuries, and his mind was filled with thoughts of taking a hot bath. If it was an ordinary family taking a bath in this kind of weather, they would definitely have some misgivings.
His own palace was one of the most luxurious in the entire palace. Ordinary people would not even dare to imagine such a thing.
However, this time, these dogs didn't even know where they had gone to. If it was Yuan Jinxian's original temper, these dogs would dig her up.
At that time, these dogs had spent a large amount of money to get them from the Western Regions. Just the food they fed was good meat. Although these dogs had grown up eating raw meat, they did know how to protect their owners.
There were a few young princes who did not have any manners. They shouted at the young noblemen in the palace and the dogs immediately pounced on them. They chased after the yellow men for half an hour before stopping.
When he thought of these things, he suddenly felt sad. Next to this courtyard was Guanhai Restaurant. There was a pond at the entrance of Guanhai Restaurant, where many carp were kept.
As long as he threw down all the fodder in his hands, these carp would swarm over. In the dark green tide, they would set off the color of fire. Looking from afar, one could see a pond that contained all sorts of scenery.
However, the pond had been left untended for a long time in the winter and was already overgrown with algae. Upon seeing this, Yuan Jinther immediately turned his head and asked, "What happened to the fish in the pond before?"
Aunt Yuan said somewhat embarrassedly, "Little Ancestor, I forgot to tell you about this matter. This pond froze a few days ago, and all the fish were frozen to death in the pond. I will send someone to fish them all up.
When Yuan Jinsi heard this, he suddenly felt a little sad. Things were really different from each other, and he wanted to shed tears first.
"I'll get a basin of hot water. I want to go back and wash myself first. Later, we'll go to the White Cloud Restaurant in the city and find something delicious to eat."
When the Martial Aunt heard this sentence … His heart thumped. He turned to Yuan Jinxu and leisurely said, "Little Ancestor, you haven't recovered from your illness. If something happens, this old servant will not be able to take care of it. Please spare this old servant."
Maybe it was because the princess was still in her room, but there was a mountain of music, calligraphy, and paintings in the room.
A large table made of pear blossom wood was filled with dense brushes. The Jin Jin Se originally practiced calligraphy with everyone, and the common jade from small families said that a woman was untalented, but Yuan Jin Se had never left behind the Five Classics of Poetry.
Although he did not have a scholarly air in him, he was still considered to have some achievements when compared to those children of his who only knew how to spend.
There was not a second table made of pear wood in the entire Qi Kingdom. When he bought this table, he had already spent a hundred gold coins. The brushes and inkstones on it were all priceless.
The bed was carved out of fine mahogany, and after covering it with the materials, the bed itself was as smooth as silk. As long as one leaned on the bed, it was as if one had lost all spirit, greedily refusing to get up.
While she was still in a daze, Aunt Yuan had already carried in some hot water. A few servants followed behind her, and a few of them carried in the bathtub.
At this time, Aunt Yuan respectfully asked: "Your Highness, where do you put this thing?"
At this time, Yuan Jinsi looked at the few servants who followed him in and told them to put down the things. These people immediately poured the hot water into the bathtub.
The room was actually filled with warmth. In the middle of the room, there was a hole dug in the ground with a peach blossom growing inside.
He was the only one in the entire Qi Kingdom who designed this house. He spent a lot of money to invite him over, and only his own house was designed in this way.
Making use of the warmth of the ground, it was as if spring had descended upon the entire room. Even in this kind of weather, the interior was still filled with flowers and peaches.
These peach blossoms fell into the bathtub and mixed together with the water. It was like the spring sun recklessly hitting the face of the Yuan Jinxian, making people forget all their troubles.
When summer came, the warm ground in front of the house was replaced with a gurgling stream that flowed under the house, causing the entire house to be very cool. Even if it was a scorching sun outside, the inside of the house was as cool as autumn.
After all the servants left, Yuan Jinsi carefully took a bath with a fragrant broth. It was long time ago that he had changed his clothes. Previously, he had changed his clothes every day.
After showering, Yuan Jinsi stretched his back. Back then, Yuan Jinsi was also the most beautiful person in this palace. Her devastatingly beautiful appearance made countless princes from neighbouring countries admire her.
Back then, the son of the Qi Kingdom's King Feng, Li Yu, would deliver a large amount of rare items every year, such as crystal balls, jade pillows, and what used to be a rare treasure.
Sometimes, when he was in a good mood, he would give them directly to his maidservants. Back then, he had many suitors and he didn't know what was going on with himself when he fell in love with such a man.
When the maidservants walked into the room with a basket full of pastries, they saw that Yuan Jinyi was currently bathing. They immediately stood outside the room and respectfully asked, "Your Highness, may we enter?"
At this moment, Yuan Jinsi heard this person's voice and turned around to face them, saying, "These snacks are all for you. You can take them and eat."
When the maidservant heard these words, she panicked and trembled as she said to Yuan Jinsi, "Your servant doesn't dare. Your Highness, you just said you were hungry, how could your servant dare to eat what you want?"
Hearing these people start to tremble and speak inappropriately, Yuan Jinsi immediately laughed, "Did you guys not serve the princess before?"
The leader of the maidservants nodded. At this moment, Yuan Jinsi immediately smiled at them and said, "Then I'll give all of you a new name."
