Shaohua is Junqing

Chapter 113

Siyu was walking aimlessly in the palace when a little maid passed by her carrying a large wooden basin.

"The county lord."

"Wait, what are you doing?" Siyu asked, looking at the full basin of water.

"The prince wants to take a bath."

"With cold water?"

"I don't know. It was the prince's order."

"Give it to me, and go get some hot water."

"Yes."

Siyu carried a large wooden basin to the bathroom.

"Just leave it there. You can go out. I don't need anyone to serve me." Beitang Mo Ran's cold voice came from behind the screen.

Siyu said nothing, nor did she leave, but walked inside.

"I said I don't need anyone to serve me, why don't you leave?"

Siyu turned around the screen.

"What's wrong with you..." Beitang Mo Ran turned around and looked up, only to see Si Yu, "Si Yu, it's you." Beitang Mo Ran stopped taking off his clothes.

"Why take a cold shower?" Siyu asked as she looked at the water in the bathtub without any heat.

"Nothing, just strengthening the muscles and bones."

"Not to mention that it's not summer yet, even when it's hot, it's easy to get sick if you take a cold shower."

"It's okay. I'm used to it."

"Habit? Do you often take cold showers?"

Ever since Siyu started talking to him, he hasn't looked up at her. With every word Siyu spoke, she moved closer to him, but he seemed to be hiding.

"Si Yu, get out quickly." Beitang Mo Ran urged helplessly.

Siyu didn't retreat but moved forward, and came to Beitang Mo Ran in one step, and the next second her lips were pressed against his. Beitang Mo Ran was so shocked by her sudden kiss that his eyes widened, and his hands froze there, not knowing what to do.

"You have me now." Siyu said softly.

"You knew already?"

"I probably guessed it."

"I just want you to live a happy and carefree life. I don't want to force you to do anything."

"I know you care about me and feel sorry for me, but I don't want you to suffer. If you want, you can tell me. If the situation allows, I won't refuse."

"Si Yu, you really make me unable to stop." Beitang Mo Ran held her in his arms.

"Your Highness, the princess ordered me to bring you some hot water."

"Leave it there, and prepare more. Change the water in the bathtub." Siyu said.

"Yes."

After a while of busy work, the maids finally replaced the cold water in the bathtub with hot water.

"That's all right, my lord. Take a bath now."

"How can I wash while you're here?"

Siyu wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "Want to try a bath together?" The hot air from her mouth hit his ears and neck, making the little flame of desire in his body burn even more vigorously.

"You are seducing me." This is not a question but an affirmation.

"Is the prince someone who can't resist temptation?"

"All temptations in the world are insignificant to me, except you, whom I cannot resist."

"Then surrender and give up resistance."

"I gave up a long time ago." As he said that, he took off Siyu's clothes and carried her into the bathtub. Then he took off his own clothes and jumped into the bathtub.

The spring scenery is beautiful.

A bath together was a brand new experience for Siyu and Beitang Mo Ran. The hot steam rose from the tub, and the two sat facing each other, their faces flushed slightly, whether because of the hot water or because of shyness.

After bathing, the two of them snuggled together.

"You said you were used to taking cold showers. How many times have you taken them?"

"I didn't wash it often before. Since I met you, I've washed it more frequently, maybe more than ten times."

"What?" Beitang Mo Ran said lightly, but Si Yu stood up in shock, "Are you crazy? What if you hurt your body?"

"It's okay. I'm young and strong. It won't be a problem."

"Hmph." Si snorted and turned to walk out.

"You're angry?"

"How can you not be angry?"

“Steamed pork with lotus leaf.”

"Don't think you can get rid of me with just one dish." Siyu said with her arms folded and her chin tilted up.

“Braised spring bamboo shoots, roasted duck with fruit wood.”

Siyu walked over, pointed at him, and said angrily, "I'm telling you, no matter what the reason is, you can't take cold showers anymore. Do you hear me?"

"I understand. Whatever you say goes." Beitang Mo Ran said, holding her hand.

"That's pretty much it."

"Are you not angry anymore?"

"Don't you want to eat roast duck?"

"Okay, let's go." Beitang Mo Ran smiled and took her hand and walked out.
