The carriage jolted, and with each jolt and collision, their bodies seemed to draw closer. 

The Princess' mind became even more stirred.

When the tips of their noses touched due to the carriage's momentum, the Princess nearly couldn't resist and was about to press against those red lips.

Unfortunately, before she could finish her hesitation, Young Master Meng, who was half pressing against her body, had already grabbed her shoulders.

The Young Master turned over hard and immediately changed their situation.

Not only that, she also straddled the Princess’ legs so that she could press her more smoothly.

It is just a kiss, who is afraid of whom?!

The Princess' all kinds of teasing, coupled with her sly smile, turned into a provocation in the eyes of the Young Master.

After raising her hands to grab the Princess’ shoulders and pressing her against the carriage wall, Young Master Meng relaxed a little.

The violent beating of her heart, and the increasingly suffocating illusion, were slightly relieved by this.

If you provoke, then you will be provoked back.

In this way, Young Master Meng, following the Princess's recent posture, pressed her forehead directly against hers and asked softly, "So, Your Highness, where would you like me to kiss?"

In the Princess's eyes, a faint glimmer of water shimmered.

The increasingly rapid breath even made the usually eloquent Princess forget how to respond.

Yet, the Young Master still refused to stop and held the Princess’ cheeks and got closer and closer.

Not only their foreheads but at this moment, the tips of their noses were also tightly pressed together.

Their lips were only one finger apart at the moment.

The Young Master lowered her eyes, and her voice became softer, "Is it here that you want a kiss?"

As their breaths intertwined, the Princess’ heart was already pounding like a frightened deer.

This time, she no longer wanted to endure.

Unfortunately, before she could directly meet those red lips, the Young Master's head abruptly pulled back.

"But now, I suddenly do not want to know the answer anymore." 

The Young Master's expression was clear, and her face bore the same cunning smile as the Princess’ just moments ago.

Unlike Young Master Meng's clear gaze, the Princess’ eyes were now covered with a thick layer of mist.

Her heart has been tickled by the Young Master.

She did not expect that one day she would be teased to the point where she was unable to fight back. The Princess could not help but grit her teeth.

As a result, Young Master Meng smiled even more cheerfully.

The complacent Young Master actually ignored the sudden extra strength on her shoulders for a moment.

She had forgotten that she was still sitting on the Princess’ lap at that moment. Without warning, the Princess had pushed her down to the small table placed in the middle of the carriage.

Seeing the Princess immediately leaning over again, Young Master Meng suddenly felt something was not right.

Seeing the embarrassment on the Princess’ face, Meng Chang'an thought that her behavior and teasing went overboard which angered the Princess.

The Young Master had an idea and before the Princess could take action, she frowned and let out a hiss.

Sure enough, the Princess really stopped because of this.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Young Master quickly said: "My shoulder hurts so much. Your Highness, you pressed on my wound!"

The Princess raised her eyebrows slightly.

It hurts?

Were you not agile just a moment ago when you made a move?

Although the Princess didn't believe it, she still forcibly suppressed the impulse to bite the Young Master's lips just to vent her frustration because of these words.

After all, she did witness with her own eyes how Shen Chi swung that sword towards the Young Master's shoulder.

To her disappointment, the Princess still refused to get up, even so, only moving the hand that was on her shoulder to the side table.

Now the Young Master is even more worried.

What kind of trouble are you trying to make, Your Highness?

Just when she was about to fight back and push the person away, the carriage slowly stopped.

"Your Highness, we have arrived."

The coachman outside the door called out loudly, which restored the Princess’ consciousness.

The Princess calmed down a bit and calmly helped her up.

“Alright, let us go back. I will check your injuries once we get home."

The Young Master failed to hear the Princess’ meaningful tone, so she thought the crisis was resolved and jumped out of the carriage first as if she was running away.

Yuechu, who had already returned to the Princess’ residence to prepare everything, was standing quietly outside after the two returned.

Seeing that the two people who got off the carriage one after another were both disheveled and had red cheeks, Yuechu’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Oh my, Her Highness and the Consort could not even wait to get home, so they actually started right in the carriage?

Yuechu didn’t delay any further and quickly raised the palace lantern, leading the way ahead. In passing, she said, "Your Highness, the hot water in the clear spring pool is ready. It would be just right for you to bathe now."

After the fierce battle in the palace, both of them were in a sorry state. It was indeed impossible to return directly to the sleeping chamber to rest.

Young Master Meng was very satisfied with Yuechu’’s preparations. She quickly praised, "Miss Yuechu is really considerate."

Considerate?

Yuechu just smiled and said nothing.

Mm, she also thinks that as a personal maid, she is indeed quite considerate. Not only taking care of the Princess' daily chores but also subtly assisting in the progress of the relationship between the Princess and the Young Master.

Ye Chi and his cousin have someone to arrange things for them. Meng Chang'an didn't inquire much and just followed the Princess' side. They maintained a distance of one person between them as they walked together towards the sleeping chamber.

It wasn't until the Young Master followed Yuechu to the clear spring pool that she understood the meaning of Yuechu's "you".

“The hot water for this bathing pool is prepared in the residence. There is no extra hot water left. Your Highness and the Prince Consort may have to bathe together."

"Bathe together?"

The Young Master's eyes widened and said awkwardly: "Miss Yuechu, this is not appropriate."

At this time, all the attendants outside the clear spring pool had been dispersed, and only the mistress and servant were left.

Seeing that the Princess’ expression was quite good, Yuechu knew that her mistress was satisfied. Therefore, the young maid even straightened her back a bit and said, "What is the matter? Does the Prince Consort perhaps dislike Her Highness?"

Meng Chang'an said sarcastically: "No, no, no, how could I dislike Her Highness? I am just afraid that Her Highness will dislike me..."

"I do not mind it." Before Young Master Meng could finish her sentence, the Princess had already blocked her mouth, raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "You are allowed to bathe with me, there is no need to be too happy.

Meng Chang'an: "..."

No, I do not want to, and I am not happy...

"Do not worry, Prince Consort, there is no one else here. We are all aware of the situation, you do not have to be afraid of revealing anything. Feel free to take a bath with Her Highness."

Seeing Young Master Meng's embarrassed expression, Yuechu pretended not to notice and continued, "We are all women. It is just bathing together; what is the big deal? Unless Prince Consort, do you have any peculiar preferences in that regard?"

The young maid's innocent appearance showed no trace of an ambiguous smile or teasing attitude.

The Young Master almost thought that she had vulgar thoughts, making it difficult for her to accept something that seemed perfectly normal in the eyes of many ordinary women.

Seeing that the Young Master seemed to loosen up a bit because of her words, Yuechu quickly added, "Please be kind and considerate. Understand the situation of us common people. It is late now, and if we were to prepare water again, who knows how long it would take, especially at this late hour..."

"Alright, alright." Seeing Yuechu almost on the verge of tears, the Young Master had to compromise, saying, "Stop crying; since Her Highness does not mind, then, as you said, we will bathe together."

Just this sentence made the Princess happy.

Mm, Yuechu is truly considerate. Starting tomorrow, I will double her salary!

"Prepare some medicine for internal and external injuries and deliver it to my room. You can go back and rest."

Yuechu happily agreed.

After saying that, the Princess took the lead in entering the gate of the clear spring pool.

Unlike the Young Master's awkward appearance, the Princess is very relaxed.

The temperature of the hot water in the pool was just right. Sensing that the Young Master had closed the door and leisurely approached from behind, the Princess slowly untied her own belt.

Therefore, as the Young Master approached beyond the screen, what she saw was the perfectly presented back of the Princess, her fair skin, and slender legs...

At that moment, mixed with the dense water vapor by the pool, Young Master Meng felt an inexplicable feeling of her blood boiling.

It was just a moment of trance. Before the Young Master could blink, the Princess was already walking towards the pool step by step in front of her and stepped into the bath.

Thus, what Young Master Meng could visibly see was only the Princess' back.

While Young Master Meng stood there, somewhat dazed, the Princess, who had already reached the center of the bath, suddenly turned around and asked, "Why have you not come down yet?"

In this way, the two peaks, which were initially submerged in the water, emerged with the ripples, presenting a glimpse of enchanting scenery, leaping into Young Master Meng's eyes.

The looming mountain peaks made Young Master Meng's face even redder.

She suddenly felt distressed.

Even for someone like her, who doesn't have a liking for women, witnessing such a fragrant scene is quite overwhelming...

What should she do? Is it too late to run away now?

As soon as this idea came to the Young Master's mind, the Princess in the pool urged again: "Come down quickly, I have to give you medicine when we go back. Do you really want to delay it until midnight?"

At this moment, apart from those fragrant scenes, the Princess looked extremely serious.

Okay, since the Princess doesn't mind being seen by her like this for a long time, why should she mind?

Young Master Meng gritted her teeth and took off her belt.
