At night, Ye Ru Shuang had Qing Liao bind her chest tightly for her, but the original owner's development was just too good, no matter how she bound it, it would still bulge out. Mei Feng couldn't help but furrow her brow, why did it look so easy on TV to disguise oneself as a man? But when it came to her, it was just so difficult?
Qing Luan wiped the sweat from her hand, exhausted. She really couldn't understand why Miss suddenly wanted to do such a thing! Actually wanting to bind her chest and pretend to be a man going out!
"Miss, let's just go out like this!" Qing Luan was exhausted and tied up to death!
Ye Feng could only frown and nod, it seemed that she couldn't pretend to be a man going out... after all, being a woman outside had too many inconveniences.
"Miss, shall we go out the front door?" Qing Luan asked while helping Ye Ruxue remove her hair tie. In the mansion, there were rules that women couldn't leave without permission! If they wanted to go out, they had to inform either Wang Ye or Er Niang at least. Wang Ye might be okay with it, but Er Niang would definitely not agree! It wasn't like they were going to a temple to pray or anything, how could they casually leave the mansion?
Night Frost changed into a woman's outfit on one side and said: "Leave from the back door."
----------
"Royal Doctor Wang, you've finally arrived!" Chen Yu stepped forward a few steps to welcome Royal Doctor Wang who had just entered the door, "We've been waiting for a long time!"
Wang, the imperial physician, was also a veteran imperial physician. If it weren't for this time when the emperor personally called him to come to the Taishi Mansion to treat Miss Xia's illness, even Xia Yingxin would have found it difficult to invite the head of the Imperial Hospital!
He stroked his white beard, and the little eunuch behind him, carrying a medical box, smiled and chimed in: "Sister Chenyu has wronged our master, Master just finished taking the pulse of Her Majesty the Empress Dowager and rushed over without even drinking water!"
Chen Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "It's actually my fault! I was just worried about Miss and couldn't help but rush. Doctor Wang, do you think Miss will be left with a scar on her face?" Xia Tianmeng had hurt her forehead, and although she hadn't been getting headaches as easily after more than a month of rest, she was still worried about ruining her looks - after all, for a woman, her face is the most important thing!
The imperial physician waved his hand: "With the official himself taking action, what's there to worry about? Rest assured, the precious 'medicine' bestowed by His Majesty has all been used!" The emperor attaches such importance to Miss Xia's injury, it's clear that he truly dotes on Miss Xia, this future daughter-in-law!
Just then, a maid with a copper basin came out of the backyard and saw Wang Taigong slightly bend his knees to salute, smiling: "Wang Taigong has arrived, Miss is reading books in her room now."
The imperial physician stroked his sparse beard, nodded and went in. He saw Xia Tianmeng sitting on the soft couch reading a book, and opened his mouth: "Miss Xia is safe!" Even if his status didn't require him to be so polite to a minister's daughter, but after all, Miss Xia was going to be the future empress, so being more courteous wouldn't hurt!
In the summer, Meng put down the book in her hand and nodded with a smile: "Thanks to Doctor Wang." The white bandage tied around her forehead did not cover up her beauty at all, but instead made her look even more delicate and pitiful.
The imperial physician stepped forward to remove the bandage for her, while Chen Yu and Luo Yan held each other's hands tightly, anxiously watching, fearing that Xia Tian Meng's face would be left with a scar!
"Alright, Miss Xia's wound has healed." Wang Taishou unwrapped the bandage and saw that there was no scar on her wound, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. If he still couldn't make Miss Xia perfect after the emperor's concern for him, he might not be able to gain the emperor's favor!
"Great!" The palace maid rushed over, eager to see, and only smiled with joy when she saw that there was no scar, "Now it's all right!" If the young lady had a scar on her face, the emperor might not have liked her as the crown princess! In the imperial harem, it is not allowed for the selected women to have scars, let alone the future empress!
Xia Tian Miao smiled and nodded slightly to Wang Taiyi: "Really, thank you, Doctor Wang. I'm deeply grateful." Even though she was calm in her heart, she knew what to say.
The imperial physician Wang smiled and said it was unnecessary, then took the small eunuch who had accompanied him to the front yard to report to Xia Yingxin.
"Miss is still so beautiful!" Luoyu saw Xia Tianmeng's faint smile and worried that she was concerned about her appearance, so he smiled and joked, "This illness has made you even more charming, I'm afraid even the Nine Heavens Xuan Nü descending to the mortal world wouldn't be comparable to Miss's beauty!" Although this remark was exaggerated, in Luoyu's eyes, Xia Tianmeng was indeed the most beautiful woman. Even the Emperor, who had seen three thousand beauties, had once said that Miss was "the number one beauty under heaven", a title that was well-deserved given her stunning looks!
Xia Tian Miao smiled and shook her head, without saying that she wasn't worried at all. She just knocked on her forehead: "You're always talking nonsense."
"Miss, the Second Prince and the Ninth Prince have arrived and are waiting for you in the main hall." The maid outside relayed at the door.
"It's been a long time since the second prince came, hasn't it!" Luoyu said straightforwardly, but then suddenly realized that as an unmarried 'daughter' she shouldn't be in close contact with men, so she pursed her lips and remained silent.
Xiatian Meng didn't mind at all, but instead stood up and let Chen Yu style her hair into a bun: "Just do it casually." Nan Yi Ke doesn't need to mind, and the Ninth Prince is even less of a person who minds these details.
Chen Yu styled a simple bun for Xia Tian, and adorned it with an emerald hairpin. It set off her somewhat pale face, making her look even more beautiful, as if the white dress alone was enough to make her a jade-like fairy.
When Xia Tian walked into the courtyard, she slightly lifted her face and felt the warm sunshine on her face, and smiled slightly: "Such a good time would be wasted if it were spent in the courtyard." The Shen Yu Luo Yan following behind exchanged a glance but didn't make a sound. If Miss Xia was going out, she must bring them along.
Zheng Tang sat in a chair in the south of the main hall, tapping on the lid of a porcelain cup with his cane, swinging his legs, feeling quite comfortable.
Nan Jiu sat up straight with a cold face, looking very serious and indifferent, which was a stark contrast to the sloppy Nan Yi Xun beside him.
"It's been a long time since we last met, I thought you had forgotten me for the sake of beauty." Xia Tian Meng walked in and saw Nan Yi Kou, then smiled and teased him, "But seeing you today, our second master is still the same as before, really can't imagine what you're like in front of beauty."
Nan Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a hint of teasing, his handsome face full of jest: "Hey, little lord hasn't seen you for days, and your mouth has even become sharper?"
Xia Tian Mo ignored him and smiled as she slightly bent her knees to bow: "Ninth Prince, at ease." After finishing speaking, she also took a glance at his right hand.
Nan Jiu immediately stood up, feeling that her smile made his heart thump, and coughed: "Hello, Miss Xia."
"Hah!" Nan Yi Xi stood up, laughing so hard that the tea he had just drunk sprayed out of his mouth. He clutched at his chest, guffawing loudly, "Old Ninth, ah Old Ninth! Rarely do I see you like this!" He hadn't expected Old Ninth to fall for Meng Ya's cleverness. But thinking about it, among all the girls he had met, Meng Ya was indeed the best in every aspect. He himself was fine, having many female friends and being rather nonchalant about romantic matters. But Old Ninth was a first-timer, so it was inevitable that he would fall head over heels!
Nan Jiu's usually icy face 'surfaced' with a blush, he felt embarrassed just meeting Xia Tian Miao's gaze, so he slightly turned his head to look at Nan Yi Ke: "Second brother, do you want to have a martial arts competition with me?" He may not be able to outdo this second brother who has a lot of schemes in terms of plotting, but when it comes to martial arts, he can still instantly defeat him!
Nan Yi Xi stood up straight and stopped laughing, coughed a few times, and with a serious face said: "Just kidding, Old Nine is really too childish!"
Nan Jiu gave him a sideways glance, but didn't know who was acting like a child all day.
In the summer, Miao seemed to have completely misunderstood Nan Yi's teasing and sat down in the chair opposite them. She took the tea from Chen Yu and gently lifted the lid of the cup with her fingers, blowing on it: "Second Master, we've known each other for many years, I don't know what you're thinking, putting me in this situation?" For over a month, she hadn't seen anyone, and in the manor, all she did was read books. As for other things like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, it was really too boring to do alone.
"How could that be! Meng Ya, I'm absolutely sincere to you! How to say it, others are just romantic interests, but you're my soulmate!" Although he was joking, in his heart, Xia Tianmeng was indeed his romantic interest and soulmate, she was different from everyone else.
In the summer, Meng Yang's lips curled up into a smile, and the corners of her mouth revealed a dimple as if a peach blossom had bloomed. She slightly raised her chin: "Such good weather, why not take a spring outing together?" In her memory, she had gone on spring outings with Nan Yi Ke several times, sometimes just the two of them, sometimes with other young masters or noble ladies from the capital.
Nan Yi raised an eyebrow: "Anytime."
Nan Jiu looked at Xia Tian Meng with a silly expression, seeing her smile so cutely made his heart feel itchy. Seeing her suddenly turn around, her cheeks turned bright red again.
"What about the Ninth Prince?" Xia Tian Meng looked at Nan Jiu and asked, she thought Nan Jiu didn't seem like the kind of person who was good at socializing, worried that he wouldn't like to get close to outsiders.
Nan Jiu hastily coughed: "Cough, cough... Of course, of course no problem!" Seeing her like this, he felt that even if she wanted the moon at this moment, he would go to heaven to fetch it for her. He finally understood the psychology of the emperors of past dynasties who exhausted national resources just to make their favored concubines smile... If it were him, he would also be willing...
----------
"Miss, are we going here?" Qing Luan followed Ye Ruxue and secretly ran out of the mansion, only to find that her clothes were all sweaty. She followed her for a long time before they reached the bustling streets, and looking at the crowds coming and going, she couldn't help but feel a little intimidated.
At night, like frost, she slightly sidestepped to let a man pass by who was walking directly without looking at the road. She frowned and looked around, her eyes fell on a sign not far away: "Let's go there, Yue Lai Wine House."
Although Qing Luan didn't understand why the young lady had eaten breakfast but still went to the wine house, seeing the crowded people outside made her feel that going to the wine house was safer, so she nodded and followed.
"Hey, what can I get for you two girls?" The waiter saw Ye Ruxue and Qing Luan enter from the entrance, took a glance at Ye Ruxue's attire, and smiled as he approached them. "We have everything in our wine house, just order whatever you want!"
Yè Rú Shuāng glanced at the first floor hall and saw that there were already many people seated, so she furrowed her brow and asked: "Is anyone in the second floor hall?"
The little servant saw her frowning and knew what she meant, so he shook the towel: "No one is on the second floor yet, please go upstairs!" He then took Ye Ruoxin upstairs.
But in her heart, she couldn't help but mutter, what kind of decent young lady would normally show off and flirt with outsiders?
Not particularly stunning in appearance, could she be a courtesan from a brothel?
