How to wear a goddess statue

Outside the window, the sun was falling to the west, and the bright tea-red sunset was blocked by the linen curtain, and only one room was covered with a dim yellow.

There was the faint sound of splashing water in the room.

Eleuil sat leaning against the wooden bathtub, eyes half closed, picked up water with one hand and splashed it on his body, a little clear water accumulated in the depression of his collarbone, more water droplets overflowed along his chest, and fell back to the surface of the water , ripples surge.

A large, old, cheap garment was placed on the rack, far away from the other simple or formal robes of the princess.

She would wear this dress when she entered the slums, put on a hood, and deliberately changed her gait, so that no one would notice the difference between a young woman walking alone and other low-level people who were on the go all day.

Is the dress of the princess enough to be fake?

Not all, more because the poor people have no time to observe the pedestrians passing by. Even if they feel that Aleuil is incompatible with the dirty streets of the slums, who will stop to think about it?

The poor are the bottom group of people in this country.

Their status is only one level higher than that of slaves, after all, the latter are never regarded as human beings, and the poor can still be regarded as human beings after all—but in terms of actual living conditions, the poor are more difficult than slaves.

Slaves are the property of nobles, even if they are lowly, at least they have food and lodging, and they have the value of writing as property.

But the poor are truly lifeless. They don't know when they will die of cold, starvation, sickness, and the nobles are beaten and killed, and no one will ask for an explanation for them.

Numb, sleepy, just to live.These people don't know that the princess came to this city, and they don't care, and they don't have any interest in topics that have nothing to do with livelihood.

The so-called after-dinner conversation must have tea and food first.

But they are also a silent force, a huge silent group.

Eleuil went into and out of the slums a few times in order to let herself see more and understand more, but the more she looked at her, the more she understood that the poor don't care who sits on the throne at all, they only care about taxes and prices .

The one who can make their life less difficult is a good king, even so, it is only the difference between difficult and extremely difficult.

When the thought turned here, Eleuil thought of Rhodes again.

Facing the dilapidated and potholed streets and low houses in the slums, the goddess of the Yilu River seemed unmoved, but she was not indifferent.

Whether looking at the poor or the nobles, there is no difference in the eyes of Rhodes, as if people are equal in her eyes.

Is this a god who treats people equally, or are they all just mortals in her eyes, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, high or low?

Her thoughts gradually diverged, and at this moment, there was a knock on her door.

Aleuil was familiar with this rhythm, knocked twice gently, with an interval of two seconds, and knocked three times slightly harder, only Rhodes would knock on the door like this.

Just as he was about to raise his voice to say "I am", the words stopped at the edge of his mouth.

Eleuil blinked, and the hot water in the tub evaporated warm water vapor, soaking her thick eyelashes.

Then the princess closed her eyes, relaxed her head and neck, and stopped moving.

------

Rhodes knocked on the door a few times, pursing his lips lightly.

No one answered... Could it be that she miscalculated and Ai Liu has not come back yet?

A female maid with a basket in her arms passed by the corridor, and Luotus asked, and the other party replied: "His Highness has been back for a while, and before that, someone sent water to bathe, so he should still be bathing now."

If it was taking a bath, the princess would usually answer, unless she didn't hear it, and under what circumstances would she not hear it?

Rhodes frowned, and after a little hesitation, he knocked again, saying, "I'm coming in."

She pushed open the door and let the door close behind her.

Aleuil was indeed taking a bath, more accurately, he was half lying in the tub, with his eyes closed peacefully, and his posture was relaxed, as if he had fallen asleep in the middle of the bath.

Luo Dasi's expression changed slightly, and he didn't notice anything unusual in his divine power sense, so he relaxed, and sat leisurely on the armchair beside him.

After a while, he said with a half-smile: "Do you want to continue pretending to be asleep?"

The princess remained motionless for a few seconds, opened her eyes, and said regretfully, "How did you know that?"

Luo Das shook his head: "You wake up every time there is a disturbance, why can't you hear my voice? Unless you haven't slept for two days in a row." The princess's work and rest are very regular these days, and there is no lack of sleep. .

Eleuil sighed: "You are right."

On the one hand, she was happy that the gods knew her well, and on the other hand, she felt sorry that what she wanted in her heart had not been realized. Under the balance of the two phases, the princess's mood was stable.

Rhodes: "Why do you pretend to be asleep?"

"I want to act like a baby." Eleuil half-truthfully said, "I fell asleep in the bathtub because I was too tired from training before, and you would come and carry me out. I miss that time very much..."

In fact, I don't miss it that much.

The experience of being scooped up by the gods like cubs from a large bath tub and then wrapped into a silkworm chrysalis in a heavy towel felt warm in my heart at the time, but it is still warm now, so I don’t really want to relive it.

Eleuil wanted to lift Rhodes out of the water even more, and drenched his clothes with water stains all over his body, and then he could logically...

She stopped the thought just in time.

Luodas also recalled a few years ago, when the personal guards just came to the door, the little princess was full of fighting spirit, and sometimes she was so tired that she couldn't even lift her fingers, and she fell asleep lying in the tub while taking a bath. .

The River Goddess, who had just appeared in the name of "Avatar" and accompanied her physically, couldn't see it, so she fished him out of the water, wrapped him in a towel to wipe off the water, and put him back on the bed properly.

Ai Lu was not as tall as her at that time.

Thinking about it now, that was probably the opportunity for her to get really intimate and casual with the princess.

Rodas looked at the princess, and was about to speak when Aleuil stood up without warning.

The honey-colored flexible body broke through the water and bounced lightly.

Caught off guard, Rhodes suddenly turned his gaze away.

"—Don't say a word."

Ai Lui slowly took a thin linen long scarf, not forgetting to observe the reaction of the gods, caught a glimpse of the reddish ear pinna in a hurry, and smiled triumphantly at the corner of his mouth.

"Do I need to say it?" The princess was blunt and confident, "Anyway, you came in when I was taking a shower, so there's no need to care about such details."

"..." Rhodes always felt that there was something wrong with this sentence.

Ailuil kept his movements to the slowest, and leisurely tucked the edge of the long scarf into his waist, before saying, "Okay."

At this moment, Rhodes turned his gaze back, facing the scene in front of him, and suddenly felt that it was too early to turn back.

This long scarf is indeed very thin.

So much so that it is covered with a thin layer, stained with residual water stains, wearing it is almost the same as not wearing it, and even more of a kind of half-covered and wonderful attraction.

Half-hidden, attractive?

Reminiscent of these adjectives is too divergent thinking, Rhodes deeply condemned his own imagination, and remained calm on the surface.

Maybe it was subconsciously wanting to express the meaning that there was no other association, Luo Dasi didn't look away again, but actually opened his eyes and said: "Change clothes, be careful of the wind and cold."

It's still winter.

Eleuil stepped out of the bathtub with a long leg.

The legs are straight, thin but not weak, with smooth and beautiful lines, full of strength.

"There is a charcoal fire in the room, so it's actually not cold." ——Maybe it's a little hot to wear thick clothes, but when he looked at Rhodes, Eleuil retreated, "Okay."

She changed into a pair of pajamas that were neither thick nor thin.

Lotus raised his fingers slightly, and was about to help dry the princess's black hair that was still dripping when a warning from the God of Wisdom suddenly flashed in his mind.

If possible, try not to use divine power to influence humans.

That being said, she dried Ai Liu's long hair dozens of times, if not a hundred times, so this kind of behavior shouldn't matter.

After less than a second of stagnation, Eleuil had already noticed.

She paused for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly: "Lotus, can you brush my hair for me?"

Rhodes looked up.

Aleuil's tone softened: "You wipe it for me, and I will also water your hair and dry it, which can be regarded as an exchange of feelings."

"Since we went to bed separately, it seems that we are not as close as before. I always feel a little lost."

The princess expressed her nostalgia openly and clearly.

Without much hesitation, Rhodes took the clean towel with a light scent of aroma, and pointed to the chair next to him: "Come here."

Elliott smiled triumphantly.

It was getting dark outside the window, but there was still a burning charcoal fire in the corner of the room, which was used for heating and enough to illuminate the field of vision.

But Eleuil lit the lamp anyway.

The bean-sized candle flame danced on the lampstand, and from the most suitable angle, cast the shadows of the two people who were very close to each other on the snow-white stone wall.

The towel behind her carried the remnants of aromatherapy, and it was difficult to cover up the unique smell of snow tea in Luotus. It fell on the hair with constant gentle force once and for all.

Eleuil leaned back, so that the shadows on the wall overlapped partly, and only looked at the two enlarged figures, as if Rhodes was holding her in his arms.

During this quiet time, neither of them spoke.

Until Luotus withdrew his hand, carefully folded the used towels, and placed them among the laundry to be sent.

Turning his eyes, Luodas saw the cheap old clothes beside him, which were still patched.

Clothes that nobles and rich businessmen don't even want to see, may be decent and rare clothes for poor people.

Eleuil was waiting for her hair to dry completely.

Towels are of no help in this regard, one has to wait.

Noticing that the eyes of the gods were cast on the shabby robe, Aleuil put his elbows on the edge of the table and said, "What do you want to say?"

Rhodes nodded silently.

She asked, "Ailu, what did you encounter in the slums?"

The old clothes were put aside, and they didn't plan to take them out for washing, as they looked like they were going to be thrown away.

Probably, the princess will not go to the slums again in a short time.

"Nothing happened, it's the same as the previous few times... It's just that I don't think it's useless to do anything there at this stage, so I don't plan to go there again." Aleuil paused, and added cautiously, "At least when I return to Ah Before Hurt, I don’t plan to go again.”

The author has something to say:

The trumpet is also back!

Although the first thing to do after the comeback is to expose the 2612 Keke pretending to be asleep.

It rained heavily today, and I ran all the way back to the dormitory with wet shoes, feeling... very cool.

I even miss the time when I was too hot to sleep qvq

You must remember to wear sandals when you go out tomorrow (beep)
