"Hmm!"
Xia Ruqing sat up without a second thought.
With the help of Zi Yue and Zi Su, she carefully got out of bed.
…
In the bathing room.
The bathtub was filled with steaming hot water, with petals floating on top.
Xia Ruqing stepped carefully onto the wooden ladder and immersed her whole body into the hot water, quickly dispelling any discomfort.
She let out a long, comfortable sigh.
"It's so nice to take a bath!"
Zi Su laughed and said.
"If you like it, why not soak a little longer? There's plenty of hot water!"
After all, the Lady served the Emperor with such dedication.
Xia Ruqing shook her head.
"There's not much time."
She gently lifted a corner of the curtain to check the time of day and said,
"It's getting late, Yue Er will wake up soon!"
Thinking about it, she hurried to finish washing.
While washing, she asked,
"Where's the Emperor?"
Zi Su replied with a smile,
"The Emperor has already finished his bath and returned!"
