Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Her Husband is a Man of Action!_1

Then, Xiao Changyi no longer cared about the Emperor of Xiyun and went straight to Fenghua Palace with An Jing.

On the way to Fenghua Palace, An Jing, who was puzzled, asked, ”My husband, since your father always wants you to stay in the palace, isn’t your Changsheng Mansion built in vain?”

Xiao Changyi said, ”Each status matches its corresponding mansion; even if one doesn’t live there, it still needs to be built.”

An Jing finally understood that the mansion was meant to signify status and was not necessarily meant to be inhabited.

However, apart from Xiao Changyi, who had special permission to live in the palace, anyone else who had a mansion decreed to be built would reside in it, as it was considered the ultimate honor. How could they possibly not dwell there?

”Greeting the Prince, Princess.”

As soon as An Jing and Xiao Changyi arrived at Fenghua Palace, the guards, palace maids, and eunuchs all kneeled down, offering their deep respect and fear.

Xiao Changyi ignored these people and simply stated his desire to bathe.

Then, the palace maids and eunuchs hurried to fill the bath in the bathing chamber with water.

After fifteen days of continuous horse riding, An Jing’s body was genuinely weary and needed a bath to relieve the fatigue. Only when the palace maids reported everything was ready did An Jing join Xiao Changyi in entering the bathing chamber.

Not accustomed to being attended to during a bath, An Jing, upon entering the vast bath in Fenghua Palace, dismissed all the attendants.

The bath chamber was spacious, with a large pool inside where steam subtly rose from the water, dotted with numerous red petals floating on the surface—beautifully aesthetic.

Arranged beside the pool were fine wines, fruit platters, and desserts for enjoyment.

Merely looking at it was a delight. An Jing fervently sighed in her heart. To actually soak in that bath must be immensely comfortable.

Only after the door of the bathing chamber was closed by the palace maids from outside, did An Jing give Xiao Changyi a mischievous smile, ”My husband, all the attendants have left... Do you need me to help you undress?”

”I don’t need your service.”

After he had helped An Jing remove all her clothes, Xiao Changyi kissed An Jing, then carried her into the pool to bathe and relieve the fatigue of the past several days.

Xiao Changyi leaned against the edge of the pool, with An Jing nestled in his arms; the swirling mist made the scene within the bath chamber hazy yet distinct, like a heavenly realm, captivating and alluring.
