Nangong Shuangshuang rolled her eyes ungracefully for the first time; had Princess Consort Gao forgotten that she too was in a sorry state? How could she laugh at herself like the elder one laughing at the second one? Finally getting rid of all the burdens on their bodies, everyone hurried to bathe as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, the thoughtful Lan Ying had already prepared plenty of hot water, and both Princess Consort Gao and Nangong Shuangshuang bathed separately in large tubs with the help of little palace maids.
Originally, Nangong Shuangshuang never allowed anyone to assist her in bathing, as it was too embarrassing. But today, she was so exhausted that she didn't want to even move her fingers. Any embarrassment was tossed to the horizon, and the feeling of someone massaging her shoulders as she bathed was simply too delightful. Occasional indulgence was quite nice.
