Wang Yi had a cousin, whose surname was Chai.
She was the third daughter of the family.
She was the daughter of the assistant minister of the Ministry of War in the capital.
She was not very beautiful.
In the circle of ladies in the capital,
Yet, he was also very popular.
She had a good personality and was a straightforward daughter of a general.
If she sent out invitations to treat everyone,
Most of them would come.
Therefore, under the condition that Wang Yi promised to protect the safety of Miss Chai, Miss Chai invited all the famous ladies in the capital to attend the banquet.
Of course, she only sent out twenty invitations.
Ten of them.
They were sent to the three previous accidents and murders.
The ten ladies had never been absent.
The other ten invitations were sent by Second Young Master Chai to the ten young talents.
With the participation of the young people, more ladies came. This was to let the ten ladies.
100% participate.
After the invitations were sent out, Lady Ge was still very unhappy.
How could the Chai family hold a party, but her family couldn't?
She thought of the registrar of Dali Monastery, who came over to be polite but threatened not to let her hold the banquet.
She was very angry.
…
When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room in the morning, Li Xiao woke up.
She lay on the side of the bed.
Her eyes were wide open.
She looked at the clothes and gold and silver jewelry in front of her.
Lord Chen wanted to pass this poetry recital.
He quietly observed each of the young ladies.
He also wanted Li Xiao not to alert the enemy.
He wanted to show the ladies who were present.
So …
Lord Chen made up an identity for her. She was a distant cousin of the Chen family, Second Miss Li.
Big Brother Wang bought her a beautiful dress and a variety of gold and silver jewelry.
He even wanted rouge and face powder …
She was a little scared, but she couldn't resist Lord Chen's drive.
In the whole Dali Monastery, there was no one more suitable than her. A fresh girl with no identity.
She was in her teens and was about the same age as those ladies who came to the poetry recital.
Lord Chen could also use the excuse that he had brought his cousin to the event as an excuse to sit in the pavilion and drink tea with those young masters while appreciating poems. Although Li Xiao found it hard to imagine Lord Chen chatting with a group of rich young masters, it was at least a reasonable reason to appear.
However, she was certain that Lord Chen would be impatient!
After the rooster crowed, Li Xiao pinched her new clothes and sighed.
Although his time in the Dali Monastery was short, it felt like a lifetime ago.
Inside and outside the door were two completely different worlds and two different lifestyles.
The troubles of the past were temporarily put aside, and new dangers were imminent every day.
But … she seemed to be yearning more and more for a life under the sun.
She looked so free and easy, so … that she yearned for it.
She stroked the dress, fascinated by its silky texture.
There were also sparkling jewelry and fragrant rouge.
This world turned out to be so colorful and full of details.
She really, really liked it. There was no girl who didn't love beauty and those beautiful things.
She sat on the edge of the bed, and on her right was her gray Xiao Tong clothes. She had only worn the new gray boots for a few days, and she liked them very much.
Gray, black, and all the other dark colors made her feel safe.
But that was because she, who used to wear warm clothes, always encountered a lot of dangers.
Originally, she preferred beautiful colors, warm and bright colors.
But … could she?
Could she wear it?
Could she wear such clothes and stand in front of others?
Yesterday, when Lord Chen asked someone to give her the clothes, he said it very casually, but he probably didn't know that she would have so many thoughts and memories when she held the new clothes.
So many fears and desires.
There were sounds of people in the courtyard, and the Xiao Tong and the servant girls in the residence began to sweep the courtyard.
She pursed her lips and took a deep breath. She put her gray robe back into the box with excitement and fear.
She turned around and began to put on the new clothes.
She took off the undergarment that she wore when she slept. Her skin was as delicate as a spring onion, and it looked fragile.
She had the delicate curves of a young girl, cute pink fingernails on her small feet, slender legs, well-proportioned bones, flat stomach, and cute navel …
She was very thin, but she also had the fleshy body of a young girl.
She had a young girl's body that was light and round, but had a backbone.
Her buttocks were perky, her waist was very thin, and her breasts were slightly raised. The combination of light pink and almost transparent white made this body look so young and cute.
She put on the new clothes one by one, carefully smoothing out the wrinkles on the clothes, and carefully fastening each belt. She was serious, as if she was doing something that was worth devoting all her attention to, and she was almost pious.
After putting on the shoes and clothes, Li Xiao smoothed her soft black hair. The ends of her hair were a little dry, but the body was very good. She had grown back a lot these days.
She sat at the table and looked at the jewelry one by one. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, hairpins, hair bands …
They had everything that one could ever need.
Lord Chen probably didn't think about matching the accessories at all, so he asked the mammy to buy some random accessories. They looked expensive, but they didn't match.
She touched the jewelry and other things. In the end, she only wore a jade bracelet and two jade earrings in the shape of water droplets.
She touched the hairpin with her hand. It was very beautiful, but …
In that dream, she inserted the hairpin into Lord Chen's chest.
Although it was beautiful, she wouldn't wear it.
She pushed the hairpin far away, as if it was some kind of scourge.
Li Xiao picked two beautiful hair bands and tied her long hair into two buns on the top of her head, which could barely be considered as a double bun.
Then, he grabbed two beautiful and delicate silk flowers and inserted them into two goat horns.
She picked up the small bronze mirror and looked at herself. It was very beautiful, but she felt a little uneasy.
She turned her head and saw the three scarves that Mammy Chen had prepared for her. She bit her lip and finally decided to give up.
It would be too strange to attend someone else's poetry gathering with a scarf wrapped around her.
She took a deep breath and patted the powder on her face lightly. It was her first time using this kind of thing, so she didn't dare to use it too much.
Then, she dabbed some rouge on her lips and spread it evenly.
She was the kind of girl who had long and well-defined eyebrows and thick eyelashes. She didn't need to draw her eyebrows or draw her eyes.
She looked at herself in the mirror repeatedly. Although her makeup was a little plain, it should be … okay, right?
Lord Chen's voice came from the courtyard. He was probably here to take her to the Chai Mansion.
She touched the door with her fingers and tried to take a deep breath.
…
The Chai Family's poetry gathering was in the morning. Chen Jue got up early in the morning and washed up. Then, he walked leisurely to Li Xiao's courtyard.
He asked the servants to serve breakfast in Li Xiao's courtyard.
Chen Jue turned to A Liu and said, "Find someone to write a plaque and hang it outside the courtyard. Let's call it … Little Vegetarian Courtyard."
"Yes, Lord Chen." A Liu had been with Chen Jue for a long time and understood Lord Chen's temperament.
After answering, he turned and went to find the steward to do something.
Chen Jue took a sip of tea and turned to look at Li Xiao's room.
She was sitting in her own residence, but she naturally came to eat with his subordinates and then went to do the task together.
However, after waiting for a while, Li Xiao still hadn't come out. He was impatient at the beginning, but slowly, he became a little uneasy.
What was going on with this inexplicable feeling of guilt and discomfort?
The servant girls began to serve breakfast. Chen Jue tapped the table with his finger and looked up at one of the servant girls. "Go and knock on the door. Tell her that I'm waiting for her here. Tell her to hurry …"
Before Chen Jue could finish his words, Li Xiao's door suddenly opened.
The tender pink dress made the little girl look so tender and soft, as if she was about to melt.
It wasn't luxurious. In fact, it was a simple pink dress. The top was very short, only reaching the waist, and the belt was tight around the waist.
The skirt reached the ground, and the hem was wide and plump. It was so thin that it could be held in one's hand, and it was folded in a hundred folds. When Li Xiao stepped out of the door, the skirt fluttered and rippled like water waves.
Jue Chen's entire body was rooted to the spot.
The servant girl who was listening to Chen Jue's words also followed Chen Jue's gaze.
In the next moment, her expression quickly relaxed, and she was intoxicated by the fairy-like beauty in a painting.
How could she be so beautiful …
There was such a beauty in the world.
If other people tied their long hair on top of their head like this, without hairpins or earrings, they would look a little rustic and clumsy.
But on Li Xiao's face, on the top of her head, this kind of hairstyle was a little cute and playful.
Even if it was a little loose, it was a girl's unique inadvertent and cute appearance.
Small silk flowers were inserted in front of the two hairpins, and matched with the light pink dress, it was beautiful but not exaggerated.
It should have been a little too casual and simple, but the girl's beauty was unparalleled. This kind of simplicity was pure and simple, and it was especially lively.
Slender waist, slender and slender neck, and a little baby fat on the oval face. Although there was a little makeup, it just happened to let the girl's unique pink and tender moisturize.
Was youth so beautiful?
Her eyes were watery and intoxicating.
Exquisite and impeccable facial features, rosy lips, a fine nose, and big round eyes, but the ends of the eyes were slightly raised like a cat's. Thick and long eyelashes fluttered seductively, and slender willow-like eyebrows filled this face with gentleness and gentleness.
Even her somewhat ragged bangs looked as if they had been specially designed under such a face.
It turned out that beauty could make everything seem just right.
Li Xiao stood at the door and looked at Lord Chen. She was a little reserved as she tugged at her clothes and sleeves.
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pursed her lips, and her eyelashes trembled. Then, she said in a small voice, "Chen … Lord Chen, good morning."
"…" Chen Jue also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but when he faced Li Xiao, he frowned.
She looked so good in simple clothes. What if she dressed up?
What would it be like?
Also … if she attended the Chai family's poetry gathering with this kind of appearance, wouldn't it disrupt his plan?
Usually, her face was half covered, so when he was used to looking at it, he just felt that it was pleasing to the eye.
He had almost forgotten why this little girl always wore a hat to cover her face.
Now that he looked at her like this …
He rubbed his fingers in annoyance and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he just frowned and said, "Eat your breakfast!"
"Oh." Li Xiao acted as if she had done something wrong.
She lowered her head and looked at herself, then walked towards the small round table.
She obediently ate her breakfast, trying not to make a sound, like a little mouse.
"…" Chen Jue looked at her and felt a little stifled in his heart.
Was it wrong to be good-looking?
Why did she act so naturally, as if … she was blaming herself?
"It's pretty good." Chen Jue cleared his throat and lowered his head to eat his porridge as he spoke in a low voice.
"Ah?" Li Xiao raised her head and looked at Lord Chen.
Chen Jue swallowed the soft and fragrant food in his mouth and looked at her seriously and seriously. Then, he said in a deep male voice, "It's pretty good. Wear it like this."
Li Xiao widened her eyes and looked at Lord Chen's serious face. She felt a little confused.
However, a bright smile bloomed on her face.
Chen Jue was dazzled. Don't smile so brightly with a face like this!
"In front of me, no one dares to offend you.
Don't worry too much about your appearance. Smile if you want. "
He pointed at the sun again. "Straighten up and face the sun like a sunflower."
He said so.
