Chapter 55 Self-Reliance (4)
At night, Huā Xiǎng Róng seemed to have a deep affection for such a wonderful and fulfilling day.
Originally, she was worried about fetching water at night, but she felt that this kind of life was fulfilling, much more comfortable than doing nothing every day. Moreover, she could see all sorts of people and gain a deeper understanding of life in the palace. She really thought it was perfect, haha.
She smiled and laughed as she came and went, carrying several buckets of water. Then, as if she had fallen in love with the kitchen again, she went back inside and boiled a large bucket of hot water, which she carried back to her own room. She poured all the water into the bathtub, felt the temperature was just right, then turned around and picked some flower petals from a cluster of flowers in Xuelin Garden. Humming a tune as she walked, she returned to the pavilion and took a comfortable and relaxing hot bath.
"Hehe... I love taking baths, my skin feels so good. Hehehe, I love taking baths, I won't slip and fall. Lalala..." Hua Xiang Rong picked up a small soft brush and gently scrubbed her arm, but her eyes drifted towards the figure standing outside the door, eavesdropping.
Although it was just a human figure, he also recognized that it was one of the maids beside Concubine Fu. Not long after, the figure disappeared, and she continued to hum the tune. Before long, another figure appeared, which seemed to be a young servant from the tea garden. Huaxiang Rong was again in a joyful mood, singing and making noise, even splashing water out of the bathtub.
It's not that she likes to use the bathtub, but the white jade pool in the inner room is too big. Without a bell to support her, she doesn't dare go in. And sitting in the room washing like this, she can still see the shadows of people outside, and many things can be known, isn't it delightful?
Just after the little servant of Mengxiang Garden left, another figure appeared outside the door.
Ning'er of Qingceng Garden!
Hua Xiang Rong curled up the corner of her mouth, as if I knew you all wanted to see me make a fool of myself. Well, I'm not the original Hua Xiang Rong, and even if I couldn't beat you, this old fox, I can still stand undefeated.
"La la la...... I love taking baths...... Ha ha!"
Ning'er had quietly left, and Hua Xiangrong finally emerged from the water, wrapping a scarf around herself. She walked barefoot on the clean floor, humming a light tune as she wiped her long hair with a small towel and dried off her body. Only then did she put on her nightgown and sit in front of the copper mirror to gently comb her hair.
These self-sufficient days seem to have returned to the 21st century, and a hint of embarrassment that has not been raised for a long time has once again jumped into my mind.
I don't know what Dad and Mom will do if they find out she's gone? Is she now a soulless vegetable? Or... has she directly disappeared into thin air? But for the time being, she can't even get close to Xiao Yuehan, let alone the waist card matter. What should she do to truly capture Xiao Yuehan's heart? She can't give up, and never thought of giving up. She wants to go home, wants to return to the 21st century, no one can stop her.
