Chapter 324: 【323】Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 174 (4 Updates)

"Can I wear men’s clothing to go?"

Yan Qing was taken aback. He clearly hadn’t considered this question and also realized Xiao Yu’s intention, "You don’t want to see my mother?"

If she wore men’s clothing, she would only need to go to the previous dynasty’s court, at least where people had a somewhat good impression of her, compared to the Emperor and the Crown Prince. But this Empress, she really didn’t want to see.

"But an ugly wife must eventually meet her in-laws; your men’s clothing can’t be with you for a lifetime, can it?"

Xiao Yu frowned, obviously not pleased, but she didn’t want to make things difficult for him, so after much deliberation, she reluctantly agreed to his request.

As for Xiao Yu’s appearance, as mentioned before, she was a beauty of modest grace, not exceptionally beautiful, but also not ugly, mainly because she never wore makeup, a pure natural face.

Since she was going to enter the palace, she certainly had to take it seriously, so that evening, she went into her space and primped herself thoroughly, from eyebrows to fingernails, everything was meticulously groomed.

Yan Qing prepared a wardrobe of fine clothes and makeup for her, but she declined.

"I am just a fisherman’s daughter; your mother knows this, so why should I pretend to be wealthy in front of her? Don’t worry, I’ll prepare my own clothes and accessories, and I definitely won’t embarrass you."

So, the next day before dawn, she entered her space to prepare herself, first putting on a facial mask, then drawing her eyebrows and eyes, because the makeup had to look natural, so she applied a nude makeup, focusing mainly on her eyes and eyebrows. Finally, she put on earrings, a necklace, and donned a simple and elegant lotus-pink dress bought from the Clothes Shop.

In the end, the nanny came to comb her hair, taught her the various etiquettes from eating to entering the palace in a simple manner, and after her hair was done, when one looked at Xiao Yu again, there was a sense of refreshing change.

Even the nanny praised her, "Your makeup looks very nice, fresh and natural, matching well with your outfit. It’s evident you are a modest child; I wish you all the best."

Xiao Yu expressed her gratitude and then casually ate something, padding herself up. And around eight o’clock, Yan Qing arrived.

He had been seeing her in men’s attire for the better part of half a year, and this unexpected switch back to women’s clothing made him quite uneasy. So, when he looked at her, he furrowed his brows.

Xiao Yu, thinking her outfit must not look good, nervously looked down and slowly turned around, "Doesn’t it look good?"

"It does look good, just feels a bit unreal," Yan Qing said, forcefully nodding toward her as he saw doubt in her expression.

"It really looks very nice. So, this is what our Xiao Yu looks like with makeup. Well, it does suit you well. This outfit also matches your temperament. I was the one without foresight. No wonder you didn’t like the one I picked; indeed, this one suits you better, only, it’s slightly plain."

"That’s what makes it genuine. A too-glamorous headdress would be too much for me to pull off. The style of a modest beauty is what I strive for, as long as your mother doesn’t think I’m petty."

Without rouge, Xiao Yu’s complexion was already rosy. Supported by Yan Qing, she boarded the rear horse carriage, not sharing one with him, since their relationship wasn’t confirmed, and although Yan Country was open-minded, proper etiquette could not be breached.

Thus, with the horse carriage wheels rumbling over the stone road, they made twists and turns and entered the palace.

After entering the palace, one could not ride horses or take carriages, so they had to walk. This also meant that the identities of Xiao Yu and Yan Qing would be revealed to the public.
