Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C158
With her back facing the door, Jin Xiaolou looked at the tightly closed small Xuan window. The window sash had a dark and bright shadow moving back and forth, which was probably because of the wind outside.
Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching from behind, just as Jin Xiaolou was about to turn around, a large basin of ice-cold water suddenly came down.
Jin Xiaolou’s body trembled from the cold water, her teeth could not help but tremble. Just as she was about to pull his robes out of the bathtub, the person in front of him reacted quickly and threw the robes far away.
Jin Xiaolou raised her head, only then could she see that the people who entered were Nan Yang and two Little Maid s.
The two Little Maid s were holding a huge barrel in their hands.
“Keep falling!” Nan Yang bit her lips and said.
Just as he finished speaking, Little Maid raised her hand and the remaining half a bucket of water splashed onto Jin Xiaolou’s face. It was ice-cold like a violent storm.
Cold water drenched Jin Xiaolou’s hair roots and flowed down her neck into the bathtub, causing her to freeze all the way to her feet.
“How dare you!” Jin Xiaolou stared deadly into Nan Yang’s eyes, “Have you forgotten what Seventh Elder said before? I am your mistress, your mistress! ”
“Don’t you dare mention the Seventh Elder to me!” The moment he heard the two words “Seventh Master”, Nan Yang’s expression immediately changed, “Seventh Master is a man, if you’re serious, I’ll naturally be tricked by a greedy and shameless person like you. I’m not Seventh Master, you can’t be so impudent within the Rainbow Garden!”
Nan Yang took two deep breaths, allowing her wildly beating heart, which was due to excessive agitation, to calm down a little. Then, she slowly said, “Jin Xiaolou, I’ll give you ten days, within ten days, to leave the Rainbow Garden, to leave Seventh Elder, and to never appear again! Otherwise, the next time you get cold water, it won’t be just a pot of cold water. ”
“Even if I have to make Lord Seven hate me and risk his life, I still can’t let you stick onto him!”
After Nan Yang finished speaking, she threw the huge wooden bucket onto the ground with a bang and left.
Jin Xiaolou then quickly walked out of the bath barrel naked, and picked up the clothes scattered in front of him to put on. She did not even bother to wipe her wet long hair, she was already shivering from cold and quickly got into bed.
She didn’t like Nan Yang in the first place, but after hearing Nan Yang’s words, she suddenly understood him. In the hearts of these famous people in the capital city, she was indeed a peasant woman who came from a remote place, a coarse and lowly peasant woman. For the first time ever, she climbed up to the top of the prince and even gave birth to a son.
It was no wonder why Nan Yang would rather compensate Seventh Elder who hated her, to the point of even killing her, to drive Jin Xiaolou away.
Nan Yang was a person who truly treated Gao Lang well from the bottom of his heart.
Jin Xiaolou sighed, she knew that she was not the kind of person that Nan Yang thought she was, but at the moment, she could only meet people across the board.
Just as he was thinking, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Gao Lang walked in wrapped in water vapor: “It’s raining, my wife, it’s so cold outside.”
Just as she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and saw that Jin Xiaolou was lying on the bed, with a slightly pale white face.
Water droplets slid down his hair, and had already left a small puddle on the ground.
“What, burrowed under the blanket without even wiping his head?” Gao Lang immediately took off the handkerchief that was hung on the shelf and came over. He walked over and squatted on the side of the bed, and helped dry Jin Xiaolou’s hair carefully, “Be careful not to catch cold.”
Jin Xiaolou pulled a soft pillow under her arm, supported his head with his hands and leaned against Gao Lang’s thigh. Gao Lang’s hands were big and warm, her movements were gentle as he pressed them on the top of her head, comfortable to the point that Jin Xiaolou felt drowsy.
Listening to the rain falling outside the window, after an unknown period of time, Jin Xiaolou felt something light above her head, and used her large hands to lift her carefully to the middle of the bed. Soon after, there was the sound of clothes rustling, and when the blanket was lifted, a warm and broad body was immediately exposed.
However, the moment Gao Lang touched Jin Xiaolou, he sucked in a cold breath of air: “Why do you have such a large amount of ice on you?”
Gao Lang frowned, he immediately let go of his inner clothes, revealing his boiling hot skin, and stuck close to Jin Xiaolou’s cold body.
The warm breath made Jin Xiaolou narrow her eyes, and those eyes that were misty as a deer made Gao Lang’s chest move, pressing her body forward, her legs entwined together.
Jin Xiaolou’s legs were like ice-cold grass at the bottom of the sea. She hurriedly reached down and grabbed those tiny feet of hers.
When Gao Lang’s body began to heat up even more, his breathing had already become a rolling cloud in the air. Right as he reached out to embrace his slender waist, Jin Xiaolou’s gentle snores rang beside his ears.
This little fellow slept really fast!
Gao Lang extended a finger to scratch the bottom of Jin Xiaolou’s foot. Seeing that her nose was wrinkled but did not wake up, without any other choice, he let go of her and stuck his head out to place a light kiss on his pink cheeks. Then, he fell asleep with his head against his head.
This sleep lasted until late morning.
Gao Lang and Jin Xiaolou were like two squirrels curled up together, it was a knock on the door that woke them up.
“Seventh Elder, Eunuch Wei from the palace has come to deliver the message that Empress wishes to see you.”
Nan Yang’s voice transmitted through the wooden door.
Jin Xiaolou was in a daze, she raised her hand and pushed Gao Lang away, “The empress wants to see you, get up quickly.”
However, with a flip of his body, Gao Lang firmly suppressed his sleep: “Last night, you slept so early, it made my heart itch and I couldn’t endure it for the whole night. You won’t be able to escape now.”
He had already untied his clothes, and now that he was bending over, the man’s tight muscles were sticking onto Jin Xiaolou’s body.
Jin Xiaolou’s neck shrunk as she quickly slipped into the blanket. Taking advantage of the situation, Gao Lang also squeezed in after him.
Inside the pitch black bed, there was the sound of one deep and one shallow breathing, as well as the forceful thumping of hearts. Gao Lang’s hair fell onto Jin Xiaolou’s neck, which was itchy and hard to endure.
Jin Xiaolou lifted her head, and her lips touched Gao Lang’s chest.
“Stop messing around, Empress is waiting to see you!” Jin Xiaolou was extremely embarrassed, but she could not help but feel her body turning soft.
Right after she finished speaking, Nan Yang knocked on the door even louder: “Seventh Elder, Eunuch Wei is waiting at the corridor.”
“Then let him wait.”
A cold sentence came out of the house, but there was no reply.
When Nan Yang heard the rustling sounds coming from inside, her face turned red, but her heart was in pain. She turned around and forced out a smile as she bowed towards Eunuch Wei: “Eunuch Wei, please wait in the lobby for a moment.”
Eunuch Wei was an old man by the empress’s side. No one had ever dared to treat him like that before.
Even from the time he went to the Crown Prince’s Palace, the always sloppy Crown Prince was polite to him.
This Seventh Prince who had been a fool for twenty years suddenly changed his nature and put on airs.
Eunuch Wei waved his sleeves, turned and walked away, “Since Seventh Prince is busy, then I shall return to Empress.”
After Nan Yang saw Eunuch Wei off, she stood motionlessly in the courtyard outside Bi Wu Inn.
After standing for almost an hour, Gao Lang and Jin Xiaolou finally came out of the room.
Nan Yang took a deep breath and walked forward quickly. Without batting an eyelid, she stood in front of Jin Xiaolou and said: “Seventh Elder, in the eyes of the people, the Empress is kind and loving and cherishes you wholeheartedly, you have already been back to the capital for a long time. If you let the Empress come three times without paying any respect to you, I am afraid your reputation will be tarnished.”
Gao Lang didn’t even raise his head. “I’ll go immediately.”
Gao Lang then walked away, upon seeing that Jin Xiaolou had followed along, he walked forward, again blocking in front of her, and respectfully bowed, and slowly said: “Madam, Your Highness is about to enter the palace to meet Empress, I’m afraid that it will be inappropriate for you to follow, I hope that Madam can go to the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion for a meal first.”
“Is it up to you to decide whether something is right or not?” Gao Lang suddenly turned his head, and extended his hand out, bringing his palm up in front of Jin Xiaolou.
Jin Xiaolou hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and placed his small hand inside.
Gao Lang held it in one hand and pulled Jin Xiaolou to his side, “Nan Yang, this is the second time. You’ve embarrassed my wife in front of me so there won’t be a next time.”
Nan Yang was startled, and instinctively wanted to explain, but Seventh Elder had already led Jin Xiaolou far away.
only regained his senses after he stepped forward to support her.
“Miss.” Wen Mei saw that Nan Yang’s face was pale and worried.
Nan Yang’s body trembled. She took two steps back and said slowly: “It’s too long.”
“What’s too long?” Wen Mei was baffled.
“Ten days is too long.” Nan Yang said coldly, “For such a powerful woman to stay by seventh grandfather’s side for one more day, would be an additional disaster.”
“Where is the greeting letter that Fifth Prince sent over a few days ago?” Nan Yang’s pupils contracted, “Take it out.”
