The upper body was a short-sleeved shirt and the lower body shorts, which was more comfortable for sleeping, but Mei Xin kept staring at her, only allowing her to wear them in the room, not outside.
"Miss, the clothes from Ni Yun Fang arrived early this morning. Shall we change into them before going out?"
"Oh, the clothes are here. Then let's change."
Since the clothes were delivered, it was fine to change, but if they wanted her to wear those gaudy clothes, she wouldn't wear them even if she were beaten to death.
"Okay," Mei Xin turned and walked into the wardrobe, pulled it open, and took out the clothes that had been hung inside. xxsYi Er
A light pink silk dress, the style was the simplest. The tailor from Ni Yun Fang followed Mu Qingyao's instructions and embroidered a blooming winter plum blossom at the collar.
This finishing touch made the entire dress instantly unique, exuding elegance and grandeur.
"Miss, how is this one?"
"Mm, not bad. The people at Ni Yun Fang can indeed create the desired effect. Let's go with this one."
As soon as Mu Qingyao finished speaking, Mei Xin happily took the clothes and went to help her change. The dress fit her perfectly.
It accentuated her graceful figure, her curves exquisite, paired with a perfect face. Her dark hair was tied into a bun, secured with a piece of jade hairpin.
Two strands of soft hair naturally fell down by her temples, making her the captivating focal point, impossible to look away from.
"Miss, you are truly beautiful."
Mu Qingyao nodded with satisfaction as she looked in the bronze mirror. "Indeed, Mei Xin is so skillful. Clothes enhance a person, just like gold gilds a Buddha. It's true."
"It's because Miss is so beautiful," Mei Xin smiled with pursed lips. Miss was still aloof, but having gotten used to her personality, she didn't seem as afraid of her as before and liked her very much.
Although she was cold, she never hit or scolded them, her servants. She didn't put on airs when she spoke, nor did she reprimand them on a whim. Therefore, the young maids in Qing Yuan now adored her.
Before, they all wished to serve people in other courtyards, but now no one wanted to leave.
"Let's go, let's see when the neighbors will finish their commotion?"
Mu Qingyao heard another scream from next door, and a hint of cold air touched her eyebrows.
She had almost forgotten. She hadn't expected them to be making such a fuss. Hadn't they been busy since early morning? How much longer would they go on?
"Yes, Miss."
The mistress and her servant left the room and saw Lu Er and Xiao Lian facing them, looking up at their young lady.
They were stunned for a long time without reacting, only coming back to their senses after the young lady had walked past.
"Xiao Lian, pinch me, pinch me! Was that Miss just now?"
Xiao Lian pinched Lu Er hard. Lu Er yelped in pain, "You wretched girl, that hurts!"
Lu Er reached out and tapped Xiao Lian on the head. Xiao Lian pouted aggrievedly, "You told me to pinch you, and now you complain about the pain."
"Heavens, was that Miss just now? She's like a fairy. Not just in Mu Mansion, but in the entire capital, Miss's beauty is among the best.
Why did no one notice it before? They used to say the eldest young lady was a beauty of the capital, they must have been blind."
Lu Er cursed angrily, completely forgetting how terrifying her young lady had been before. No one had ever seen her true appearance. She had always been ostentatious and heavily made up.
"Yes, those people's eyes must be on the back of their heads! To say our Miss is a lovesick fool. Our Miss is so beautiful, why would she need to be lovesick?"
Xiao Lian echoed Lu Er's words. The two maids muttered to each other, having completely forgotten the past. Now that they liked Miss, they saw everything about her as good...
Moon Crescent Pavilion, the courtyard where the eldest young lady resided, was not far from Mu Qingyao's. This name was also chosen by the eldest young lady herself.
As a talented and beautiful woman of the capital, how could her residence be named casually?
Of course, it had to be elegant and noble, hence the name Moon Crescent Pavilion.
At this moment, the entrance of the courtyard was bustling with activity, and not far from it was the Second Young Lady's Fragrant Courtyard, which was also crowded and lively.
Mu Qingyao stood before the entrance of Moon Crescent Pavilion, coldly observing the busy people. She really didn't understand why they were so excited.
Was it just about entering the palace? The Emperor hadn't made her a concubine yet, and even if he did, what was so great about it.
If she were made Empress, would this Mu Mansion still be peaceful?
However, whether she became a concubine or not was irrelevant to her. The point was that they were disturbing her.
As Mu Qingyao thought of this, her expression turned sullen, her eyes sharp. She led Mei Xin straight into Moon Crescent Pavilion.
When the people inside looked up and saw her, they were stunned. The Third Young Lady was so beautiful! Then, they noticed the Third Young Lady's cold expression.
Her beautiful black eyes were as sharp as unsheathed swords. The little maids shivered, and one of them spoke softly.
"Third Young Lady?"
"Mmm," Mu Qingyao led Mei Xin further inside, completely ignoring the little maid. Many people looked at her with surprise along the way.
My goodness, the Third Young Lady looked so beautiful even with casual adornment. She was more lovely than flowers.
The architecture within Moon Crescent Pavilion was largely similar to Qing Yuan. The only difference was that the courtyard was planted with many precious flowers and plants, and the air was filled with a rich fragrance.
Mu Qingyao led Mei Xin directly to the main residence of the eldest young lady. From the west wing room, the eldest young lady's anxious voice could occasionally be heard.
"Mother, do you see the rouge on my face? Is my hair messy? What about my clothes? Quickly, check if my clothes are messy?"
As soon as the eldest young lady finished speaking, the First Madam's loving voice replied.
"Zhu'er, don't be anxious. You are the most beautiful woman now. Yes, my daughter is the most beautiful woman in the world."
"The Emperor will surely like you at first sight, and then he will surely make you Empress. Don't be nervous, come, relax a little."
Mu Qingzhu immediately exclaimed joyfully, "Really? Mother, is this true?"
Mu Qingyao looked up at the sky speechlessly. These two silly mother and daughter were too wishful thinking. Didn't they know how shrewd Emperor Xian was?
Would such an extremely shrewd and cunning person easily make a woman Empress? She feared that position would not be easy to hold.
A few little maids standing under the long corridor, after a moment of stunned silence, respectfully spoke, "Third Young Lady?"
Mu Qingyao walked up the stone steps unhurriedly. The little maid guarding the door did not dare to delay, quickly lifted the curtain, and invited the Third Young Lady in.
In the bedroom, the elegantly dressed eldest young lady of the Mu family turned her head and stared fixedly at the cold and imposing woman at the door.
Her simple attire and simple hair ornaments showcased a woman's most beautiful aspects, drawing people's gazes.
