In case someone walked in on them while they look pathetic, Tang Mei had some lesser servant to stand in vigil. She firmly ordered that no one is allowed to pass.
Just before the pair of in-laws decide to start another disaster, Xiao Yuan Xi got worried enough to fetch the two.
"Empress, another bath was prepared for you," he said. Wei Yi Yi almost hugs him in joy. She had enough of her sticky self. "As for your highness, this servant will speak frankly. Please go home or go to Eternal Pool."
"That cannot be done. This prince cannot be seen anywhere near that palace hall, let alone take a bath!" Jiang Liu shakes his head in extreme disagreement.
Wei Yi Yi gave a side comment. "Wow. Boss named a bathhouse as 'Eternal Pool'?"
"Your Highness, does this servant need to remind you how inappropriate your request to bath in Xian Feng Palace is?"
'You already did', thought both Wei Yi Yi and Jiang Liu.
