Chapter 62

the other side.

The Empress Dowager was caught by the Night Terror Hall when she was painting pictures of beautiful men. She had been feeling uneasy and asked Hongyu to inquire about it. She heard that Prince Jing and the Empress had not gone to bed yet and were going to take a bath in Canyang Pool.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother took the maids to Canyang Pool, but saw Prince Jing's maid waiting outside, and no guard of honor from the emperor was seen.

Seeing that the emperor had not come yet, the Queen Mother hurriedly entered the main hall when she had a chance to be alone with Prince Jing.

There were only a few lamps lit in the hot spring pool, the light was very dark, and there was no sound except for the flowing spring water.

The Queen Mother, who was wearing a crimson dress, turned around the screen and saw the white-flowered Dongfang Liren floating in the middle of the pool, stirring up the water with her hands. Maybe it was because of the hot springs. Her face was rosy and very beautiful. .

"Queen Mother, why are you here?"

"I couldn't sleep at night. I heard you were here, so I came over and took a look. You don't have to get up."

The Queen Mother stood on the edge of the bathing pool. She raised her hand and wanted to unzip her belt and jump into the pool to soak in the hot spring together.

But how could Dongfang Liren agree!

The Night Terror Hall is still in the pool. If the Queen Mother strips off and jumps in, it won't be as simple as a 'mandarin duck bath', but...

But it is a very unethical and immoral thing!

Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to meet frankly, Dongfang Liren quickly stopped her:

"etc!"

"Um?"

The Queen Mother blinked her big eyes and put her hands on her belt, looking slightly confused:

"What's wrong?"

"Well... the water is a bit hot tonight, I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't be used to it..."

"Is it hot?"

The Queen Mother bent over and squatted on the edge of the pool, trying to test the water temperature with her hands.

But the Night Terror Hall has its back to the door, and the place where the Queen Mother is standing is directly above the Night Terror Hall. When you lower your head, you may be able to spot the figure under the water through the mist.

Dongfang Li's heart was in his throat. In desperation, he could only let go of his chest, swim forward, and rushed to the Queen Mother in the blink of an eye.

Crash--

Water splashes.

Dongfang Liren lay on the edge of the pool with his hands, suppressing the shame and anger under his eyes, looking at the Queen Mother, and asked calmly:

"The Queen Mother couldn't sleep at night. Is there something on her mind?"

The Queen Mother was almost splashed by the water brought by Dongfang Liren, so she moved back a little:

"I don't have anything to worry about. I just stopped by to take a look... Well, I couldn't let go of you being in danger yesterday. I have to bring my bodyguards with me in the palace..."

Dongfang Liren's expression remained unchanged, his silver teeth secretly biting:

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, you will always have it with you."

"Young Master Ye, who escorted you yesterday, is also with you?"

Dongfang Liren felt like he was stepping on that person!

"Take it with you. We are patrolling the palace."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, sat sideways on the edge of the bath, and licked her hair beside her ears:

"How was the inspection going? Did you find anything strange?"

"No, everything is as usual..."

"That's good……"

…

Meanwhile, underwater.

Ye Jingtang leaned against the edge of the bathing pool and hid his figure, unable to hear the words spoken on the water. In order not to offend Prince Jing anymore, even though he was at the bottom of the pool, he closed his eyes and waited for Prince Jing to send the Queen Mother away.

But not long after he closed his eyes, he felt the water waves approaching, and he opened his eyes slightly to take a look...

Two long legs swung back and forth and swam towards him.

The thing that was full of pressure was brought forward without any cover, and it was thrown directly above the head and pressed against the white jade stone wall...

? !

The Night Terror Hall couldn't help but be frightened when faced with the magnificence so close at hand, but what was more frightening was not here.

In order to block him, Prince Jing lay on the edge of the pool, which was shoulder deep.

And he was sitting on the wall of the pool, directly above him was Prince Jing, and in front of him was naturally...

In order not to come into contact with him, Ye Jingtang could feel Cunben's long legs swinging in the water, causing some fluctuations in the water flow.

Ye Jingtang tilted his head and closed his eyes without looking. His heart beat like a drum, constantly reminding himself to stick to his mind and not surrender to desires.

And Prince Jing seemed to know where his gaze might fall.

The waiting time was much longer than he imagined...

…

"That Mr. Ye, his martial arts skills are so high at such a young age. It's really not simple. How is his conduct?"

"Hmm... not bad, but I have little experience in the world and can be easily deceived."

"Really……"

On the edge of the bath, the Queen Mother sat elegantly and chatted for a long time. After seeing that the Night Terror Hall did not tell anyone, she felt more relaxed.

The Queen Mother pulled down half of her clothes, revealing her white and fragrant shoulders and a hint of plumpness, and wanted to take a bath with Dongfang Liren.

But as soon as this move was made, Dongfang Liren's eyes changed slightly, and he quickly helped the Queen Mother pull up the collar to prevent the Queen Mother from having a romantic affair:

"Don't."

The Queen Mother was puzzled: "What? The Queen Mother wants to come in to have a bubble, but you won't let her?"

"..."

Dongfang Liren didn't know how to explain it, his mind suddenly changed, and he changed the topic:

"No, I just remembered a poem. The Queen Mother probably likes it. Why don't you help me take off the pen and paper?"

The Empress Dowager was born in Jiangzhou, where literary styles flourished. She dabbled in poetry, but was not very interested.

But Dongfang Liren said it, so she naturally had to listen and turned to the outside of the hall to give instructions:

"Hongyu, get a pen and paper."

"yes."

Soon, the palace maid Hongyu ran in with a tray containing pen, ink, paper and inkstones.

The Queen Mother helped to grind the ink, while Dongfang Liren was lying on the edge of the bath, holding a small pen in his hand and writing on the white paper.

In order to delay time until the unscrupulous sister discovered her predicament and sent the Queen Mother away, Dongfang Liren wrote very slowly, pondering every stroke and having to think carefully after finishing a sentence.

"When autumn comes, September 8th... I will kill all the flowers after they bloom..."

The Queen Mother read each sentence, her casual expression gradually turned serious, she picked up the paper and tasted it carefully:

"This poem is really... really vicious. Who wrote it?"

"I heard from the Holy One that it was written by a talented man. If the Queen Mother is interested, you can ask the Holy One."

The Queen Mother carefully looked at the poems on the paper and said helplessly:

"As the Queen Mother, I want to ask what a talented person is like... Sigh~ You like martial arts, and you can meet a man with extraordinary martial arts like Ye Jingtang; Your Majesty loves poetry, poetry, and poetry, so you can meet such a talented and ambitious man. …”

Dongfang Liren knew that the Queen Mother was starting to feel sorry for herself again, and when she was considering her words to comfort her, she suddenly found that her calf had been touched by someone.

? !

Dongfang Li felt excited in his heart, thinking that Ye Jingtang had finally lost his ability to behave as a gentleman, but soon it didn't feel like it - Ye Jingtang was filming her to remind her.

What to remind...

Dongfang Liren thought about it secretly, and suddenly realized that she and the Queen Mother had been talking nonsense for a long time without knowing it.

People who practice martial arts have a long inner breath. Some powerful masters who are good at the art of turtle breath can stay alive for several months in the water. It is not uncommon for ordinary martial artists to hold their breath for an hour, but this kind of inner master who "trains one breath" Kung Fu requires practice.

Ye Jingtang seems to be very skilled in martial arts, but Mrs. Wang said that his Qi pulse is disordered, and he has obviously never practiced this kind of Kung Fu. He is probably at his limit after being held in the water for so long without taking a breath. If he is not allowed to show up, he will probably just hold it in. fainted!

Dongfang Liren was secretly anxious. It was already too abrupt to prevent the Queen Mother from entering the water. She could not push the Queen Mother out again.

This bastard sister, did you not realize that the Queen Mother is here, or are you deliberately trying to clear things up so that I can embarrass myself in front of the Queen Mother?

If the Queen Mother saw her taking a 'mandarin duck bath' with Ye Jingtang, then she would have no choice but to marry Ye Jingtang, and she might be offered a marriage tomorrow.

Dongfang Liren estimated that her sister had not shown up until now, probably because she wanted to let the Queen Mother reveal her shameful things and force her to get married as soon as possible.

It's not that Dongfang Liren doesn't want to get married, but how can he end his career as a virgin in such a shameful way?

Besides, Ye Jingtang also has a "love one", and she seems to be in love with her. How can she be a bad woman who relies on power to fight for love...
