The inn deliberately chose a relatively remote one and booked the entire hotel. It was surrounded by guards patrolling in an orderly manner, so there was no need to worry about safety.
After sleeping in the open for several days, Feng Dian could finally take a good rest. As soon as the procession stopped, the female relatives were helped by the maid to go to the room to rest.
Although I had to scrub my body on the way, it was somewhat inconvenient to be outside. Even Gardenia couldn't wait to take a hot bath.
She took off her clothes and lay down, feeling the hot water spreading on her skin. The little girl leaned her head against the barrel and closed her eyes comfortably.
Lily of the Valley took care of her hair carefully, sprinkled some flower petals and essential oil into it, and gave her an uneasy warning before leaving.
"Princess, don't fall asleep in the bucket, you may catch a cold easily."
Gardenia lowered her body and muttered vaguely.
Seeing this, Suzuran sighed, just planning to come in and take a look later.
The little princess has always disliked being served, especially for such intimate work, and often no maids are left in the room.
That is to say, Suzuran grew up with her and got used to the little girl's temperament, so she stayed in at this time to prepare for activities, and finally had to withdraw.
Sure enough, just as Suzuran feared, she fell asleep while soaking with a certain little girl.
When Huo Lichi came to look for someone with a paper bag, he knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response.
Thinking that the palace man said that the little girl had never come out, he frowned, secretly said something offensive, opened the door and walked in.
His eyes wandered around the room, and he paused slightly. Just when he was about to go over to see if he had gone out through the window, he keenly heard movement coming from the other side of the screen.
It's the sound of water dripping.
Huo Lichi stiffened.
Gardenia woke up from her sleep and was confused for a moment, her round eyes staring at the ceiling in a daze. When she returned to her senses, she looked outside strangely.
"Lily of the valley?"
Huo Lichi pursed his lips, looking a little at a loss, but he still answered in a steady voice.
"it's me."
"Huh?" Gardenia tilted her head, a little confused. "Li Chi? Why are you here?"
The young man lowered his eyes, looked at the paper bag in his hand and answered honestly.
"You said before that you wanted to eat candied fruits... I'll put them in your room for you."
While he was speaking, there was a movement behind the screen. It was obvious that someone stood up from the barrel. Hearing this, Zhi Na spoke casually.
"Then wait for me."
With such a long distance and a screen blocking her, Gardenia didn't think it was a big deal. She quickly dried herself, put on her underwear and ran out without giving the other party a chance to react.
Huo Lichi felt that the tips of his ears were a little hot. When he was hesitating whether to leave, a slender figure had already ran over.
Gardenia stopped in front of him, took the paper package in his hand naturally, opened it and stuffed it into her mouth.
Sweet, it's dried sweet potato.
While eating by herself, she did not forget to generously feed her little brother.
"It's delicious, you should try it too."
Huo Lichi looked away, trying hard to ignore the scenery in front of him. Hearing this, he lowered his eyebrows and looked a little embarrassed.
Before he could say anything, the other party had already hit his lips, so he had to open his mouth and bite it silently.
Gardenia didn't seem to notice his embarrassment, and since the two of them were a bit close, she could faintly smell the scent coming from the other person's body. It didn't look like incense, but it smelled inexplicably good.
Standing on tiptoes, she leaned over and sniffed his neck, and the little girl asked sincerely.
"Did you just wash up too? What essential oil did you use?"
Huo Lichi subconsciously took a step back, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.
"I still have to patrol the surrounding area, so I won't disturb the little princess' rest."
