Chapter 712 The Child's Father

Within the Imperial City, a secluded chamber in a certain detached garden.

Maidens were burning incense in prayer, continuously pouring hot water into a large wooden basin and scattering petals, steaming up the room in an instant.

Li Xiaobai, having loosened his clothing and belt, submerged his body and let the surrounding maids wipe and wash him.

"It has been a long time since I relaxed like this, indeed, nothing beats a bath for comfort."

"I never thought the day would come when I too would step into such a hallowed hall, the thought of it is quite thrilling."

"I wonder if Lady Long is also bathing, dressing, and offering prayers at this moment?"

Enjoying the temperature of the water in the tub and smelling the faint fragrance of the petals, Li Xiaobai's heart and mind began to wander.

"Miss has already finished her bath and dressing, and is now arranging her makeup,"

said a serving maiden with a smile at his side.
