Chapter 185 Cleaned up
"No!" Chu Mingzheng was reluctant to let go of the beauty in his arms.
"Hurry up!" Lu Mingyang acted coquettishly, "I'll tell you the Dharma while you wash me, or I'll fall asleep again."
Chu Mingzheng's eyes lit up, "You mean, you'll help me bathe?"
"Uh... I'll serve you." Lu Mingyang responded awkwardly.
"Okay then!" Chu Mingzheng sat up and asked, "No water?"
Lu Mingyang stood up and straightened his clothes. "You hide first. I'll ask Huanyun and the others to come in and get some water." Chu Mingzheng pinched his face and flew up to the beam.
The dim candlelight lit up, and Lu Mingyang looked at Chu Mingzheng, curled up on the beam, and laughed. The laughter was too harsh, and Chu Mingzheng was still feeling very frustrated even when he leaned back in the bathtub.
"What are you laughing at?" He grabbed the little hand that was testing the water temperature.
Lu Mingyang leaned on the edge of the bucket and said with a smile, "I think Your Highness is very obedient!"
"I only listen to you!"
It sounded nice. Who knew if he had told Qin Yan about it? But the deeper you got into this kind of thing, the more uncomfortable it would be for you. So she just took it as the truth and listened to it for pleasure.
Lu Mingyang picked up a handkerchief and wiped it while saying, "Then listen to me tomorrow and put on a show. I plan to use the excuse that they seduced you and kick them all out. Anyway, you're familiar with this method."
"What do you mean I'm not familiar with this method and I won't do it." Chu Mingzheng was unhappy.
Lu Mingyang ignored him and continued, "It's just right. After I kick them out, you can have a big fight with me. Then I'll go back to Chengyang Marquis Mansion in anger. It's like killing two birds with one stone."
"No, no, what a bad idea." Chu Mingzheng said with disgust.
"Your Highness, please stop acting like a child." She felt this was the best solution and continued to urge them, "They must really seduce you. That's the real deal."
Chu Mingzheng reminded: "Are there only women and no men?"
"I've already kicked out one man today. As for the remaining one, I plan to have Zheng Hao kick him out."
Only one person was kicked out today. Chu Mingzheng asked, "Then why didn't you tell me the reason just now?"
Lu Mingyang lowered his head: "I'm afraid you'll think I'm quibbling."
"Silly girl!" Chu Mingzheng rubbed her head and said, "Tell me how you are sure of this. If you can tell me well, I will agree to it."
Lu Mingyang said, "After all, they are servants of the palace. If she wants to order them around, she must know everything about them. So, I first checked their place of origin and their relationship with the people in Xiefang Palace. I will then keep an eye on the whereabouts of the selected people."
Then she said their names.
After listening to this, Chu Mingzheng said, "There's still one missing, someone from your courtyard."
"what?"
"What?" Chu Mingzheng pointed at his chest, which was swollen from being rubbed, and said aggrievedly, "You have a grudge against me. The skin is even broken."
With a plop, the handkerchief fell into the water, and Lu Mingyang apologized repeatedly.
Chu Mingzheng grabbed the escaping little hand and pulled it into his arms with ill intentions, "Wash together."
Lu Mingyang kicked the bucket anxiously and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, the water is dirty!"
Chu Mingzheng raised his eyebrows and said, "After all this time, you think I'm dirty?"
"Yeah, it stinks, it's so dirty." Lu Mingyang said it as a joke. Taking advantage of his distraction, she escaped to the bed.
Chu Mingzheng remembered that he had gone to the stable today. He wiped it clean, smelled it repeatedly, and then pulled the corner of the quilt.
Lu Mingyang refused to eat: "Stinky, stinky, stinky..."
"It doesn't stink anymore." Chu Mingzheng smelled himself again and pulled at himself aggrievedly: "I washed it clean."
"Then... come in!" The woman who had been waiting for a long time blushed.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, Lu Mingyang woke up at noon. She supported her aching waist and sat up, and saw the glittering Yingluo lying next to the soft pillow.
His eyes were filled with tangled desolation.
But I finally made up my mind.
Without having time to have breakfast, Lu Mingyang put on a veil and left the house alone, heading to the clinic.
"Doctor, please prepare some contraceptive soup and make it ready."
But he couldn't go out to get medicine every time, so when he left the clinic, Lu Mingyang asked the doctor for a prescription, thinking that he should have two reliable people around to do the job.
One day, while Prince Ningyuan was sitting by the lotus pond feeding the fish, he touched the waist of a maid who had come to deliver wine, and the two of them were very affectionate. Prince Ningyuan asked her to go to the study in the evening, but on the way there, she bumped into the concubine.
The concubine looked at the maidservant dressed in fancy clothes and ran to Prince Ningyuan crying. Prince Ningyuan had no choice but to have the maidservant driven out of the house.
Feeling depressed, Prince Ningyuan went to practice sword and met a maid. He grabbed the maid's hand and taught her how to practice sword. As a result, at night, the princess drove the maid out for theft.
In the dead of night, Chu Mingzheng sneaked onto the princess' bed again. Lu Mingyang nestled in his arms and asked in a muffled voice, "Why don't you let me quarrel with you?"
Chu Mingzheng pinched his nose and asked, "Have you forgotten that our princess is so virtuous that she gave me several concubines at once?"
The most important thing is, I don’t want those ignorant people in the house to think that I don’t like you.
Lu Mingyang tapped his chest lightly: "Then let's continue the performance tomorrow!"
The next day, the princess, having not seen the prince for many days, personally cooked a bowl of mushroom and fish soup and sent it to the study. However, after drinking it, Prince Ningyuan suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and nearly passed out.
In a rage, Prince Ningyuan wanted to kick out the two maids who helped the princess make soup. The princess pleaded for mercy and sent them to the laundry room instead.
After His Highness left, the princess quietly returned to her parents' home to reflect on herself.
At the Chengyang Marquis' Mansion, Lu Mingyuan listened to his sister describe the reason for her return to her parents' home, and laughed so hard: "You two are really born to act."
Lu Mingyang also laughed, "Your Highness insisted on keeping one person and said to kick them all out. Concubine Song will have to think of other ways."
"It's easy to dodge an open attack, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Your Highness is right." At this point, Lu Mingyuan smiled and said, "It's only been a short time since we got married, and Prince Ningyuan has already fallen in love with me. It seems our fourth sister's words, 'I want to save him,' really weren't empty talk."
She doesn't have that ability, and she doesn't want to do it now.
Thinking of this incident, Lu Mingyang found it funny. He wanted to incite others to rebel, but just as he started, he was incited instead.
But I can’t tell my elder sister now, Lu Mingyang smiled and changed the subject.
"Eldest sister, I'd like to ask sisters Zhuxin and Qinxin for a favor. I redeemed a few people from the brothel, and there are two young girls who are new to the brothel and haven't been released yet!"
The maidservants in the mansions of marquises and officials were the face of the mistress. Some mansions had one or two concubines who had become good wives, which was not a big deal, as they were kept in the backyard anyway. But the maidservants around the mistress were different. They had to follow the mistress's way of dealing with people. If they were of low status, they would definitely be ridiculed, let alone in the prince's mansion.
"I plan to let them both be my personal maids. But they don't know anything, so I want Sisters Zhuxin and Qinxin to teach them."
