"Uncomfortable."

The prince only spoke after a long while.

Xiao Hua was pleased in her heart. The fact that he responded was good, right?

She slowly moved her hands to the Jing Prince's neck. She felt the muscles under her hands tense up and then relax again. She gently sucked in a breath and started to slowly massage.

The Jing Prince's neck was very hard. After she loosened it up, she started pressing along the bone, using more strength when she felt a knot.

"Highness, tell this servant concubine if it hurts."

The Jing Prince didn't make a sound. Xiao Hua slowly continued, massaging along the bone little by little. Once she felt everything had been loosened up, she moved her hands to the shoulders.

This was Xiao Hua's first time giving him a full body massage. She moved from the neck to the shoulders, then to his lower back, his thighs and calves and finally his feet.

In her past life she had only massaged the 4th young master the same way she had previously massaged the prince: only shoulders and back. She never massaged anywhere else since her thoughts weren't innocent at that time, not focusing on the massage. Furthermore, there weren't too many problems with the 4th young master's body.

Having massaged the prince several times after entering the Hall of Splendor, Xiao Hua felt that he had a certain amount of fatigue and damage in his muscles and bones. Therefore she wanted to help him loosen up properly.

Once she was done massaging everything, an hour had already passed. Xiao Hua was extremely tired. This was her first time being so tired after massaging the Jing Prince.

She wiped the sweat off her brows and waved at Ding Xiang to bring her a cup of water. Only after drinking it down did she feel less tired.

The Jing Prince flipped over on the kiln and lay on his back. His didn't open his eyes and didn't seem to be planning on getting up.

Xiao Hua signaled with her eyes and Ding Xiang ran off to grab some blankets.

Xiao Hua attentively covered the Jing Prince and signaled Ding Xiang once again to remove one of the charcoal basins. Before she could finish adjusting the blankets, she was pulled on top of them.

Xiao Hua quietly cried out, "Highness." The Jing Prince didn't respond. His eyes were still shut, and he didn't remove the hand on her waist. He merely lifted the blankets and pulled her into his embrace.

Xiao Hu could only curl up in his arms and wrap themselves up with the blanket.

After cuddling for a while, it became warm and cozy inside the blankets. She also felt tired and sleepy, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

........

Seeing them quietly fall asleep, Eunuch Fu and Ding Xiang lightly stepped outside.

Ding Xiang lowered her voice and said: "Eunuch Fu, sit for a bit. There's a charcoal basin here and it's warm." She signaled Ding Lan to bring Eunuch Fu some tea and snacks.

Eunuch Fu didn't refuse and sat down in one of the chairs outside, closing his eyes for a nap.

The other palace maids in the house all moved softly and quietly at seeing his highness and the madam sleeping, but the smiles on their faces couldn't be suppressed.

It wasn't known how long they slept for, but when Xiao Hua woke up and opened her eyes, they happened to meet the Jing Prince's.

Oh no! She had actually woken up later than the prince!
