I woke up as the Villainous Empress-Chapter 138

138 Pervert spotted.

“This is not a bathtub but a mini pool area! If someone asks me, the bathhouse would be the best place in this palace for me.” Yang Ning exclaimed in amazement when she entered the bathhouse and started removing her bathrobe.

The bathhouse was double in size compared to her small dorm room where she had spent her whole life. The stone bathtub was built like a mini swimming pool and was large enough to fit five to seven people in it without seeming to be congested or overcrowded.

The bathtub was hidden behind a white translucent curtain that was making the bathtub area aesthetically beautiful and dreamy. There were flower vases as well in the corners, to make it look eye-pleasing and beautiful.

She could even smell the scented incense burning in the room to make it smell and feel good. The colorful lanterns were burning in the room to keep it illuminated and brightened.

Even though there is no electricity, the bathhouse was well-lit even at night. There was a square-shaped window at the top, almost touching the ceiling to ventilate the air of the bathhouse. It was also used to brighten the bathhouse using the sunlight and the moonlight coming from outside.

“This place is truly a heaven.” Her eyes wandered around the large and spacious bathhouse in a daze while putting her bathrobe aside and covering her body with a white towel before walking towards the bathtub.

She didn’t realize how strikingly beautiful this bathhouse was when she took a bath in the morning. Because she was still dazed by the events of the last night and wasn’t in her senses.

The hangover was making it difficult for her to focus on anything and she could only close her eyes as she soaked her body in the warm water in the morning.

However, now that she looks at it, this bathhouse was even better than the Yang Household and had one of the best bathrooms she has ever witnessed in her life. It was so natural and aesthetically appealing to one’s eyes.

.....

“Ah! This is the best thing that has happened to me the whole day.” Yang Ning murmured as she closed her eyes and soaked her naked body in the warm water.

Just like the bathhouse, the water was not just warm water but was filled with white and red rose petals as well.

The royal people like to make everything so dramatic and beautiful.

” If they keep using the flowers for their baths every day, their garden will become barren sooner than expected.” She remarked on the over usage of flowers to decorate the palace for every single small occasion.

Yesterday, there were so many flowers that were used to decorate the palace and were also used to decorate the royal carriage and their bedroom as well. It was her first time seeing so many flowers in one place other than a flower garden.

It was a large-scale wedding indeed. Well, what was she expecting anyway? It’s a royal wedding after all.

Zheng Liang is not just the Crown Prince of this Empire but also the Male Lead of the novel. How can his wedding be of low scale?

–

While she was soaking her exhausted body in the warm water, she realized that Xiaowei had gone for quite a long time. “What is this girl doing anyway? Did she go to bring the turmeric paste or manufacture it in large amounts to sell in the market?” She shook her head as she was tired of waiting for her.

She could stay here for the whole night and would not get bored of it but not today. She was tired and exhausted from the parade and fulfilling the other rituals as well.

She wanted to change into her night clothes and go to bed as soon as possible. However, since Xiaowei told her that she needed to take a bath using the turmeric paste, she was still waiting for her to come and get done with it.

But it has been a while since she went to get the turmeric paste and hasn’t come back yet. What is this girl up to now? She wondered.

Yang Ning was resting her back against the stone wall of the bathtub and rested her arms on the edge of the stone wall while she soaked her body in the warm water.

Her eyes were closed and her head was tilted backward while she waited for Xiaowei to come and help her change into the night pajamas.

~Slam~

“Why are you coming back just now? Do you know how long I waited for you?” Yang Ning furrowed her brows and nagged Xiaowei for coming late when she heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

“Now if you’re here, come and massage my shoulders. My body has been feeling sore from sitting in the carriage like a mannequin the whole day.” She cried and urged Xiaowei to give her a massage before applying the turmeric paste all over her body.

Xiaowei might be a petite girl who has a skinny body. But she is stronger than Yang Ning in terms of strength and muscles.

When she gives her a massage, the pressure she uses to massage her body is no joke and it feels as if all of her exhaustion is fading away with her touch. It is so refreshing and soothing.

That’s why people say to never judge a book by its cover only. Xiaowei might look weak and malnourished with her looks but she is quite strong and healthy.

“Xiaowei?” Yang Ning, who had her eyes closed, frowned when Xiaowei didn’t respond to her words nor did she hear the sound of her moving. Has this girl become a mannequin herself that she was not moving or responding to her words?

“Hah! Xiaowei, what are you doing? At least respond to-” She let out a heavy sigh and turned around to see what Xiaowei was doing and what was keeping her so busy that she couldn’t even respond to her question.

However, when she turned around, she was dumbfounded to see a figure rather than Xiaowei standing near the clothing stand where her clothes were.

The person was none other than Zheng Liang.

“AHHHHH!” She squinted her eyes to see if she was making a mistake. However, when she realized that the person standing was none other than Zheng Liang, she couldn’t control herself from screaming aloud. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

Because he was not just standing there, he was standing there with his upper body exposed and was only wearing the bottom pants. What was he planning to do by coming to the bathroom like this when someone is already inside the bathroom?

Was it a mistake or did he intend to come inside to peek at her? Like a pervert.

“Ahh!” She screamed loudly and covered her chest with both of her hands in reflex.

Zheng Liang, who was standing near the clothing stand and was equally dumbfounded to see Yang Ning inside the bathtub was startled when she started screaming loudly.

He panicked and hurriedly walked to her side and covered her mouth with his palm to stop her from screaming.

“Stop screaming. Otherwise, everyone will gather outside and will think that we’re doing something else.” He covered her mouth to stop her from screaming and tried to coax her to stay silent.

Yang Ning’s eyes widened when he suddenly walked to her side and covered her mouth like a thug to stop her from shouting.

“Ahh...No....” She tried to scream again and with more power this time. However, she quieted down when she heard his words.

Well, this makes sense.

If she screams, people might misunderstand what was happening inside the bathroom and will enjoy the free show instead.

She stopped wiggling and stopped making efforts to make a noise. Instead, she tapped on his hand, urging him to let go of her mouth and assuring him through her eyes that she will not scream again.

Seeing that she was not trying to scream again, he let go of her mouth and freed her to speak her mind.

What...what is he doing here? Where is Xiaowei? Yang Ning wanted to ask him so many questions, however, her mind went blank.

What is this ridiculous situation?

She was about to interrogate him when she noticed that his cheeks were flushed and was avoiding looking at her and was looking to his side.

It was at that point when reality hit her.

She furrowed her brows and hesitantly looked down at herself. Her eyes widened in shock and she was about to scream again when she realized that she wasn’t wearing any clothes underneath and was naked under the water.

The water was clean and transparent. There were flower petals covering the surface of the water, it was still clean enough for him to see underneath the water.

From this close distance, he could clearly see her naked body under the water. At the thought of it, she wanted to dig a hole for herself in this bathtub and hide in it forever.

“Ahh...Emmm!” She was about to scream in shock again, however, Zheng Liang reacted quickly this time and before her voice could go out of the room, he covered her mouth again to stop her from screaming aloud like a mad woman.

“Stop screaming! I did not see anything. So...stop screaming.” His voice wavered due to nervousness but he still tried to comfort her and stop her from screaming.
