Chapter 36: The enjoyment of nobility is also something that needs to be gradually adapted to.

  After entering the city, Qin Lei did not look out again, he sat quietly in the car, closing his eyes to rest.

  At this time, the sun was near dusk, and the orange-red light passed through the window screen into the carriage, giving him a faint golden color all over his body. Listening to the noise outside, Qin Lei thought about the ups and downs since he came to this world, thinking of Li Guangyuan who treated him with trust, Iron Eagle who was loyal to him, Shen Luo who was sincere to him, and Zhang Jianzhi who regarded him as a friend, as well as Shi Yong, Hou Xin, Xu Ge, Shi Wei, Shen Qing, and even Ma Kui also appeared clearly in his mind.

  In the end, the scene in his mind was frozen at that battle by the river, where those brothers who had been through life and death with him pulled him into the formation, using their flesh and blood to withstand the slaughter of the invincible army. He thought of his own silent roar, thought of those lovely faces, and thought of those unregretful eyes.

  When he opened his eyes again, Qin Lei's gaze became extremely determined.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  The procession entered the city through the Mingde Gate, and proceeded along the Shenwu Boulevard for nearly half a watch, before passing through another city wall into the inner city. By this time, daylight had largely faded, and every 20 feet or so, palace attendants lit wind lanterns, which barely illuminated the road surface, and beyond that, only the outlines of buildings on either side could be vaguely seen.

  After a while, the convoy finally stopped in front of a palace. A palace maid invited Qin Lei to get off the carriage and go take a bath and change his clothes.

  Qin Lei followed eight beautiful women through layers of palaces and arrived at a room with carved railings and jade inlays, where the air was thick with heat.

  As soon as you enter, it is a silk screen with a hundred flowers competing in beauty. Turning around the screen, a white jade carved, three-zhang-square bathtub appears before your eyes.

  A goose egg face, willow leaf eyebrows, big eyes with a smile that could be scooped up by the little palace maid towards Qin Lei sweetly smiled, bowed and said in a crisp voice: "The slave will help your highness change clothes." The sound was like an oriole singing out of the valley, clear and pleasant to hear.

  Qin Lei saw the girl's joyful appearance and couldn't help but tease: "You haven't experienced such good fortune before."

  Several palace maids covered their mouths and giggled, but the little round-faced maid with big eyes didn't get annoyed. She still said in a clear voice: "Your Highness will have to get used to it later, we servants can serve you for the first time, which is a blessing of three lives."

  Qin Lei was a soldier at the age of 16 in his previous life and never left the military camp until he left that world. Not to mention being served by girls for bathing,

  Not even holding hands with a woman.

  So he was excited and nervous at the same time. He didn't know that as a prince, these palace maids were at his beck and call.

  Of course, it is also impossible to ask a good young man to quickly degenerate into a corrupt aristocrat, this is a process that requires time.

  Qin Lei pretended to hesitate for a moment before nodding and frowning, "Then let's hurry up and get it over with." After that, he closed his eyes.

  The palace maidens had never seen such a fresh face, and they surrounded him with smiles, helping him undress. Two palace maidens, one on each side, supported his arms, while the round-faced little palace maiden unbuttoned the front of his imperial robe one button at a time. Xue's slender wrists and jade-like fingers shone even whiter in the lamplight, causing Qin Lei to turn his head aside, trying to calm the wild beating of his heart.

  The palace maidens first removed his outer gown, then took off his upper and lower garments. Next, they untied the loose belt, loosening his black long hair. Qin Lei was left with only his undergarments.

  Several delicate hands touched Qin Lei's body lightly, and the girl's orchid-like fragrance wafted around his nostrils. Qin Lei involuntarily reacted.

  Until he was stripped naked, Qin Lei finally couldn't help but let out a moan and begged for mercy: "I'm not quite used to it yet, can I do the last one myself?" As an absolute virgin, his face was still too tender.

  The palace maidens gazed at the Fifth Prince, whose handsome face and robust physique made their hearts flutter. They caught a whiff of his masculine scent and were immediately smitten. Seeing his sorrowful expression, they couldn't help but nod sympathetically.

  Qin Lei was like a great amnesty, unfolding his swimming technique, and jumping into the water. A splash of water splashed up, wetting the clothes of several palace maids by the pool.

  Several older palace maids secretly sighed, but couldn't say anything. The palace maid with big eyes glared fiercely at several infatuated ones, and they obediently followed her behind the screen.

  Qin Lei felt disappointed in his heart, the imagined romantic bath did not appear, and he could only scrub his head down, carefully avoiding getting the newly healed wound on his back wet.

  When the soldiers finished bathing quickly, Qin Lei was no exception. When he got up and looked around for a towel after washing, he found eight palace maids behind the screen, who had taken off their palace clothes and only wrapped themselves in thin gauze, revealing their slender figures. Eight girls held perfume, bath salts, and white towels, as if preparing to bathe him.

  The people inside and outside the bathing pool looked at each other in surprise, a tall and slender girl with a narrow waist and raised buttocks asked in astonishment: "Your Highness, what are you doing?" The clear voice was that of the big-eyed girl.

  Qin Lei thought to himself, "I didn't expect this little girl's figure to be so good, but she also knows how to control herself, suppressing her desires. He smiled at the young palace maid and said, "Miss, I still need to go into the palace tonight to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, so I hastily washed up. Would you mind helping me find a towel and bringing me some clean clothes?"

  Big eyes knew that Qin Lei was ignorant of the rules, but she didn't say anything else and nodded: "Your Highness is right, let me comb your hair for you."

  Qin Lei smiled gratefully at her and sat down by the pool, waiting for her to come over.

  Xiaogong's heart skipped a few beats uncontrollably, scolding herself silently. She stepped forward and stood behind Qin Lei, wrapping his wet hair in a towel and carefully wiping it dry.

  Two more palace maids brought over a cup of strong tea, and Qin Lei saw the thick, murky liquid and knew it wasn't for drinking. The big-eyed maid who was wiping his hair from behind whispered, "Please rinse your mouth, Your Highness."

  Qin Lei felt a surge of gratitude, took the tea cup, and held a mouthful of strong tea in his mouth. After rinsing his mouth, he spat it into the spittoon held by the palace maid. At this time, two more palace maids came forward, one holding a white porcelain shallow dish with fine green salt inside. The other stretched out her wrist, dipped her jade finger into the green salt, and picked up some salt grains. She smiled slightly at Qin Lei, and then her finger straightly poked towards his mouth.

  Qin Lei only then realized that the girl was going to brush his teeth. Looking at those slender fingers, he felt a bit uneasy. It wasn't that he minded this method being too intimate, but rather he couldn't accept someone else's fingers stirring around in his mouth.

  He waved his hand and shook his head: "There's no time, I won't brush my teeth, hurry up and help me change." The palace maid didn't force the issue either, nodding gently as she retreated.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Qin Lei's first bath after returning to the country ended like this, neither painful nor pleasant. The palace maids wiped him clean and changed him into another set of imperial prince attire. Then, a palace maid from outside led him out.

  As he was about to leave, Qin Lei turned back and smiled at the girls. His slightly damp hair stuck to his forehead, and his large, bright black eyes shone with a captivating light.

  Several palace maids were excited in their hearts, all thinking that the prince was casting flirtatious glances at them. But the little palace maid with big eyes knew he was thanking her for protecting him.
