19 hot springs
This is the first time.
Not the first time kiss, but it happened before sunset, and it was the first time.
In the past, the few times were at night.
Xie Ning felt confused first, and then he couldn't help it.
This intimate integration with another person made her at a loss.
He was both timid and resistant, but he also had expectations. He felt that a gap had been pried open, allowing the other party's breath to invade. At the same time, he felt that his secrets had gradually spread out from this gap.
Xie Ning's head was pressed against the emperor's shoulder, and she was weak and panting. She felt like she had broken a hole, and many things were taken out, but more things were filled in.
The sunset light became extremely bright at this moment. The golden brick floor outside the window reflected the sunlight as faithfully as a mirror, projecting the mottled light and shadow into the window.
The emperor could see the thin hair scattered behind her neck turning into light golden threads in the afterglow of the sunset. When she raised her head, she was wearing a light on her back and her thin hair on the upper edge of her ears was like a layer of gold powder.
Her ears looked red like a translucent shell.
He couldn't help but reach out to pinch it.
It is of course completely different from the hard texture that the shell has.
So people came up with the word "nephrite" warm fragrance. Nephrite is indeed the most appropriate. And warm fragrance... is also true.
"Have you written in the past few days?"
In this way, the emperor held her in his arms and spoke in a low voice.
Xie Ning was not used to it. She felt that her back seemed to be leaning against a huge soldering iron, so hot.
The breath he blew on the back of his ears and neck when he spoke was just as hot.
"Written."
“What have you written?”
"It's coming...Floating Cloud Sticker."
"Well," the emperor seemed to have suddenly become infinitely interested in her earlobes, and Xie Ning felt that the thin earlobes were as if they were peeled off the skin, extremely sensitive. The numbness and itch and two feelings were intertwined and blended together quickly towards the back of the shoulders and the whole body: "Let's go back and write a few words to see if you have made any progress."
Xie Ning didn't feel the emperor's expectation or pleasure at all.
She had to please the emperor with "exposing her shortcomings" again.
Last time Qinghe persuaded her to try her best to please the emperor. She felt that she had no way to please the emperor.
But now it seems that the emperor likes to see her embarrassingly.
In the past, Xie Ning didn't understand. From those hidden talks from others, she always thought that "carrying with her" and "sleeping with her" were the same thing.
Now she certainly knew that this was not the same thing.
When she is accompanying her, she can do a lot of things. Like her, she can accompany the emperor to have meals, talk, drink tea, write, or when the emperor is reading a note, she grinds ink aside. Or when the emperor wants to take a break, she sits by the couch and reads a little book for him.
The content of sleeping is fixed.
So Xie Ning still likes driving with her.
Although sometimes she felt that the emperor was watching jokes or simply teasing her, she got more from the emperor.
After dinner, Xie Ning followed the emperor into the side hall of Changning Hall.
Come out from the door to the left of the side hall, there is a balcony on one side of the spacious courtyard, and a bathhouse is built in the balcony.
Xie Ning's eyes widened slightly. She thought there was no hot spring in the capital, and obviously she was wrong.
There is one place in Changning Palace. Of course, the spring cannot be underground in the palace. This water must have been attracted by other places.
The palace servants and eunuchs knelt on the edge of the pond. The emperor waved his hand, and they quickly stood up, bowed their waists and lowered their heads from both sides.
Not one left!
Xie Ning looked at the emperor and found that there were only two of them here.
What does this mean? Is it necessary for the emperor to command her?
Xie Ning accepted his fate and went forward, untied his clothes for the emperor, and served him in the bath.
Fortunately, the emperor is an easy-to-serve person.
Xie Ning was unfamiliar, but not clumsy. When the emperor leaned against the pond, Xie Ning could only remove his outer shirt, wearing only a small shirt and a short liner, and served him to wash his hair barefoot.
Scoop water with a wooden spoon with a short jade handle, pour it slowly, first wet the hair, take out the ointment from the box with lotus patterns in the mother-of-pearl and put it on the hair, and then rub it slowly.
The light green ointment turned into a white and greasy foam.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Ning's fingers were not as powerful as those palace ladies and eunuchs, but she was very meticulous and gentle.
After the massage, Xie Ning wiped the paste from his hands, scooped water and rinsed the emperor's hair clean. He squeezed the water droplets between his hair with his hands, tied them up, and pinned them with a jade hairpin.
The emperor naturally changed his posture and signaled her to wipe his back.
Xie Ning accepted his fate and picked up the small brush on the tray. I don’t know what it was made of. The bristles felt a little itchy on the skin, but if you brush hard, the itchyness would turn into a very comfortable feeling.
Xie Ning's body was wet.
Some were wet with water, some sweating from her, and some were fumigated by the mist rising from the bath. The shirt, which was originally very thin, was soaked and tightly pressed against her body. Xie Ning stopped with a blushing face.
The emperor turned his head to look at her, and Xie Ning had the urge to block himself.
It was already dark, and the veil curtains around the hot spring bath blocked the insects, mosquitoes and moths that would be lured by the light. Water vapor spread among the veil curtains, and the light of the candlestick was shrouded by the vast hookah, and there was a neon-like aperture outside the fire.
Xie Ning had never seen this situation before.
The bank of the spring pool was like a fog and a dream. She fiddled with the tea set beside her, poured hot water over the cup, and then gently poured the tea into the cup.
One cup for each person.
Xie Ning lowered his eyes and drank tea. His long fan-like eyelashes cast shadows like butterfly wings under his eyelids.
The emperor's fingers gently touched her eyelashes. The sudden touch and itch made the quiet butterfly-shaped shadow float away, revealing her clear and moving eyes.
Realizing the emperor's intention, the long eyelashes that were flashing became quiet, Xie Ning raised his head slightly, revealing his soft and white neck.
When the clothes that were already soaked and tightly attached to the skin were removed, she couldn't help but tremble.
It's like being removed... it's a layer of skin.
She completely lost her protection in front of this person.
The candle shadow shaking red, and the water waves reflected by the candlelight were turbulent. The golden streamer was like a bizarre dream. The gauze curtain was blown by the breeze, and Xie Ning felt that he was sinking into an unpredictable vortex and sinking all the time.
