Chapter 188 Bathing
Chapter 188 Bathing
When Wenli heard this, she understood instantly. No wonder so many people stared at her along the way. She narcissistically thought that it was because her beauty was finally discovered, but it turned out that there was a goose feather on her head! She quickly reached out to take it off and threw it away.
Half an hour later, he politely picked up the dress and examined it carefully inside and out. His face was full of surprise. He couldn't help but admire Lin Qingyan: "Ms. Lin, this dress is so beautiful! But, will it make me look a little bloated when I wear it?"
Lin Qingyan smiled and explained: "This is clothing specially designed for people in the northern border area. Wearing it can keep out the cold."
Wenli looked at the clothes up and down, still not quite convinced, and couldn't help but teasing: "Ms. Lin, you are really good at bragging! Can this piece of clothing alone resist the severe cold?"
Lin Qingyan knew that she would not believe it easily, so she spread her hands calmly, shrugged her shoulders, and said confidently: "If you don't believe it, you can try it on. If you can last for a cup of tea, I will give you a shop; otherwise, you will lose a shop to me."
After hearing this, Manner laughed out loud, took the clothes without hesitation, and said to Lin Qingyan proudly while putting them on: "Then I would like to thank Miss Lin for her generous gift!"
As a result, three minutes later, she hurriedly took off her clothes. She was sweating profusely and her inner clothes were soaked with sweat.
"How is it, Boss Li? This dress is okay, right?" Lin Qingyan laughed at her mercilessly, because she was told that she was just bragging.
"Oh, Miss Lin, this dress doesn't look very impressive, but when I put it on, it feels like I'm wrapped in several layers of quilts. It's so hot."
Chengli felt his mouth dry from the heat, so he walked to the table, picked up a cup of tea and started drinking.
"But, Miss Lin, now I believe what you said. This clothing will definitely allow our sisters in the northern border to have a warm winter."
Seeing that she was concerned about the people of Northern Frontier, Lin Qingyan smiled and said to her, "Take this dress to the palace to find Her Majesty the Queen, and tell her that I asked you to go. When you arrive, the Queen will make arrangements."
Wenli's eyes widened. Although Lin Qingyan had said before that she would make her a great merchant, was it just based on this one piece of clothing?
Although she was a little confused, the gimmick of being an imperial merchant was too attractive. Moreover, since Lin Qingyan said that the empress had plans for her, it meant that this matter was still credible.
So she nodded, carefully packed the clothes, and set off for the palace.
Lin Qingyan turned around and said to Ling Nianxiao, who was standing beside her thoughtfully, "Baby, shall we go home too?"
Ling Nianxiao was still wondering when Lin Qingyan had such a good relationship with the Queen, but when he was called "baby", he suddenly felt familiar with her. His whole body felt hot, and he hummed, lowered his head and left.
Lin Qingyan wanted to laugh when she saw him like that, but she was afraid that he would be angry, so she held back her laughter, took two quick steps, and held his hand.
His hands were so hot that Lin Qingyan felt a little hot.
The two of them were almost too hot to bear when they walked back to the Xiangfu. As soon as they entered the door, they asked the servants to quickly prepare hot water for bathing. While waiting, the two of them sat at the table and drank cups of herbal tea.
After a while, Ling Nianxiao gradually recovered from the scorching heat. He suddenly remembered the doubts he had in Xuanhe Pavilion before, so he asked, "Qingyan, you and Her Majesty the Queen..."
Lin Qingyan slowly put down the teacup in her hand, looked at him firmly, and then said word by word: "I am the biological sister of Her Majesty the Queen Mu Yunsheng."
This news was like a bolt of thunder, striking Ling Nianxiao hard. He blinked his eyes, stood there in a daze, and didn't react for a long time.
"You are the princess?" he murmured in disbelief.
"Yes, in fact, even I couldn't believe it. When Mu Yunsheng told me in the palace today, my mother-in-law was also present." Lin Qingyan replied softly.
Ling Nianxiao knew very well that if his mother was present, then what Lin Qingyan said must be true without a doubt.
"Could it be that your illness has something to do with the fact that you are a princess?" This speculation immediately emerged in Ling Nianxiao's mind.
Lin Qingyan had never expected that he would associate the two together, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Seeing how concerned he was about her, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and secretly wondered why she came so late.
"Yes, I witnessed my father's tragic death at the hands of his enemies. I lost my memory after being greatly shocked. Mu Yunsheng had found me by then, but every time I saw her, I felt disgusted, so she did not take me back to the palace." Lin Qingyan gave a brief account.
"In fact, when I was able to get rid of her troubles, I realized that there were two assassins following me to protect me. At that time, I began to doubt my identity, but because I lacked the memory of my childhood, I did not expect that I would be this identity."
Ling Nianxiao stared at her with a complicated expression, and said slowly: "Since you are the princess, you must marry a concubine in the future."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart. He had only been with her for a short time, so why did she have to be the princess? Why was it so difficult for him to possess her alone?
Seeing that he was daydreaming again, Lin Qingyan wanted to get up and comfort him.
"Master, young master, the water is ready, please enjoy it. I'll guard the door for you outside." Xiao Lan poured the last bucket of warm water with a lewd smile on his face, then walked out and closed the door.
Not only Lin Qingyan, but even Ling Nianxiao could not care about being sad anymore and was a little speechless. In broad daylight, if killing wasn't against the law, he really wanted to pry open Xiaolan's head to see what was inside, his head was full of dirty words.
"Ahem, Nian Xiao, since Xiao Lan is so considerate, why not..."
Ling Nianxiao stood up and raised a finger in front of her: "Stop, it's impossible."
Lin Qingyan smiled, walked up to him and said, "What I want to say is, the water is ready, and you are all sticky with sweat, don't you want to take a shower?"
"Ah? Bathing?" Ling Nianxiao felt a little embarrassed after realizing that he had misunderstood.
Lin Qingyan smiled evilly and said, "Of course it's a bath. Could it be that my little Nianxiao wants to do something else?"
Ling Nianxiao said seriously: "No, I'm taking a bath."
"Then let me help you take off your clothes. You go wash first." Lin Qingyan said as she helped Ling Nianxiao take off his clothes.
His body was a little stiff. He usually came by himself. Even Xiaolan and Xiaolu had never served him like this. He was a little uncomfortable.
