Chapter 127 Changing Rooms
Chapter 127 Changing Rooms
Xiao Guo'er stood at the back, remaining cautious, fearing that she would be exposed due to carelessness and let the Eighth Prince recognize her as the person he had been thinking of tracking down and killing to silence her.
Xiao Guoer felt extremely depressed when she thought of this. Who could have thought that she saved him with good intentions but ended up causing such trouble!
It was not until Tang Jingchen finished his explanation and stood in front of her again that she relaxed a little.
The next step was for officials to receive "protective equipment" and distribute them to the people.
They took the order and left, and the government office was almost empty.
At this time, the prefect Wu Zinian walked up to Zhao Yunrong and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the Eighth Prince has come from the capital. The journey of thousands of miles must have been tiring and exhausting. You have just arrived here and you have taken such pains to make arrangements. Your love for the people really makes me ashamed. But Your Highness, the Eighth Prince is concerned about the people, so you should take care of your health. If Your Highness, the Eighth Prince does not mind, please stay in my mansion. Although my mansion is not as luxurious as the prince's mansion, it is much more comfortable than the official post station and can relieve Your Highness's fatigue on the road."
In order to hurry on my way, I had stayed in official inns all along the way. But now that I have arrived in Huaiyang, I don’t know how long I will stay here. If I continue to stay in the official inns, it will indeed cause many inconveniences.
Zhao Yunrong hesitated for only a moment before making a decision, "In this case, I will bother you, Master Wu."
Wu Zinian hurriedly pretended to be flattered, "Eighth Prince, what are you talking about? I am so overwhelmed. It is an honor for me that you are willing to condescend to live in my humble home."
When Xiao Guoer saw this scene, she sighed deeply. Flattering is also a technical job, and not everyone can do it as naturally, fluently and sincerely as this adult!
After walking for about half a cup of tea, they arrived at the residence of the Huaiyang prefect.
Xiao Guoer looked at the mansion in front of her. It was magnificent and rich. She looked around curiously.
The prefect, Lord Wu, is really modest. If this big house is called his humble abode, then the small courtyard where he lives in Zhuxian Lane in Shangjing City is not just a doghouse?
The Eighth Prince naturally lived in the spacious and luxurious house that Lord Wu had carefully prepared in advance. People of some status like Shen Jing and Tang Jingchen also had separate and comfortable rooms to live in, but other guards and followers could only squeeze into one room with two or three people.
When Xiao Guoer learned that she and Shun'er were assigned to the same room by Lord Wu's housekeeper, she ran to Tang Jingchen's room angrily and shouted, "I want to live alone!"
What a joke! She wants to live in the same room with a man? She doesn't want to!
Unless that person is Tang Jingchen!
Tang Jingchen looked at her angry face and asked curiously why she was so angry. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You stay in my room, and I'll stay in He Shun'er's room."
Xiao Guoer felt bad, "How can that be possible? You are usually spoiled and pampered, why do you have to share a room with Shuner? Can't you ask that Lord Wu for an extra room?"
Tang Jingchen felt embarrassed. The Eighth Prince brought quite a few people with him. Although Magistrate Wu's mansion was big enough, it was a big problem to accommodate all of them with so many people at once.
Even the separate room between him and Shen Jing must have been specially vacated. If he asked for another room just for Xiao Guoer, it would inevitably attract attention or suspicion.
But in Xiao Guoer's situation, it is best to avoid attracting the attention of the Eighth Prince.
"It's okay with me. If you really feel bad about it, then we can live in this room together."
Xiao Guoer looked at Tang Jingchen's mischievous face, and couldn't help but feel hot on her face. She rolled her eyes and said angrily, "You wish!"
In fact, she was not a pretentious person. She could accept living in the same room with him. But when he said that, she felt a little embarrassed.
Tang Jingchen grabbed her hand and pretended to be pitiful this time, "Can you bear to let me squeeze into the same room with Shun'er? Shun'er snores and grinds his teeth, which is very annoying. Can you bear to let me suffer?"
Xiao Guoer glanced at him, "Does Shuner know that your master is plotting against him behind his back?"
He had never slept in the same room with Shun'er, so how did he know that? He must have made it up to win her sympathy!
Tang Jingchen looked as if he had been exposed, a little embarrassed, and said, "If you don't tell him, how would he know?"
The last bit of regret in Xiao Guo'er's heart disappeared completely, and she snorted, "Young Master doesn't usually have to endure such hardships, so just treat it as an experience of life!"
After saying that, she looked around his room, which was many times better than the one she and Shun'er had.
Xiao Guoer took a look around and found that even the quality of the bedding on the bed was much better than that in her and Shuner's room!
Lord Wu really knows how to be an official!
Tang Jingchen looked at her indignant expression and smiled bitterly. It wasn't the room he arranged, so why was she glaring at him like that?
At night, Xiaoguoer fluttered into the soft and comfortable bedding that was like a cloud like a happy little bird.
Just as she let out a long sigh of comfort, there was a knock on her door.
To be precise, there was a knock on Tang Jingchen's room.
Xiao Guoer raised her head from the quilt and asked through the door, "Who is it?"
A soft female voice came from outside the door, "I have brought some hot water to wash your feet and relieve your fatigue."
Xiao Guoer frowned. Does Lord Wu’s mansion have this kind of service?
She muttered to herself, got out of bed, threw on some clothes casually, and opened the door.
When she looked at the beautiful maid in front of her with thin clothes, a graceful figure that was barely visible, and a pretty face, she understood instantly.
How can this be called a foot washing service? You're not talking about relaxing, you're just relaxing in bed!
Lord Wu really has a thorough grasp of the ways of the world!
Xiao Guoer's face didn't look good, because she immediately thought that if she and Jingchen hadn't changed rooms, it would be Jingchen who would open the door now!
Looking at this lively and beautiful girl, will Jingchen let her go in and wash his feet?
Will something unspeakable happen while washing?
