051 - Cross-dressing
Shouldn't he feel that this was a great insult? Nangong
Yue's eyebrows twitched a little and she was quite speechless. Well, it seemed
that the mind of a dude was something she couldn't guess.
Since the words had already been spoken, one could not
afford to backtrack. Nangong Yue immediately turned her head to Yimei and said,
"Yimei, go and get a set of female clothes suitable for Xiao Shizi."
Yi Mei looked at Nangong Yue with disbelief. Do they really
want to help this young man in front of them to dress up as a woman? This......
wasn't very good. If someone found out about hiding a man, Third guniang’s life
would be ruined!
Yi Mei's heart was torn between wanting to follow the San
guniang's orders and fearing that this incident would be detrimental to the
San guniang. After pondering for a while, Yimei finally gritted her
teeth and agreed.
"Yes, Miss Third!"
Since she sincerely recognizes the Third Guniang as
her master, she must trust the Third Guniang’s decision!
Although Yimei had already fetched the women's clothes and
other related items as quickly as possible, Xiao Yi was still a bit impatient
to wait. As soon as he saw Yimei coming, he immediately grabbed the women's
clothes out of her hand and went to the cave on the rockery to change his
clothes.
Yimei stared at him dumbfounded, no longer knowing what to
say.
Yimei brought with her is a set of pale blue trailing
water-sleeved dress with pleated phoenix-tail skirt, which was the perfect size
for Xiao Yi's body. His narrow waist was tightened by a pale blue satin belt
and he wore a dark floral silk orchid cloak that covered his slightly broader
shoulders. His long black hair hung and flows in the breeze, brushing against
his unpowdered but fair as jade cheeks, making him look like a fairy in an
empty valley.
Nangong Yue and Yi Mei were dumbfounded to see that this
Xiao Yi looked much better than a woman in women's clothing.
But the moment he spoke, he ruined that perfect picture,
"Little girl," he pointed at Yimei and said in a commanding manner,
"Come and brush my hair." He grabbed a handful of hair and grumbled
impatiently: "You girls have most troublesome hairstyle. What's the point
of making it so complicated ......"
Nangong Yue didn't want to listen to him, so she gave a wink
to Yi Mei, who immediately went forward and made Xiao Yi sit down on a big
stone, and then, skillfully combed his hair.
Yi Mei's hands and feet are extremely quick; in three or two
steps she pulled a loose hair bun for him, put on a few beaded flowers and took
the powder to put on his makeup...... A few strokes of the brush made it seem
as if he had changed into a voluptuous style of painting again. At first
glance, I could only see his beautiful peach blossom eyes were slightly raised,
and his crimson lips were curved in a seductive manner, as beautiful as a
painting of the world.
Nangong Yue looked dumbfounded again and coughed covertly,
"Yi Mei, give him a mole on the corner of his lips."
Although Yimei did not understand why, she did it
obediently. Nangong Yue examined him again, made a somewhat reluctant face and
said: "It's not bad. We can go now."
"What do you mean its okay?" Xiao Yi took a look
at himself in the mirror and boasted, "I'm obviously gorgeous! That's for
sure, think back then my mother was the number one beauty in the southern
border. Ben Shizi resembles my mother by eight points, in the southern
border that was loved by everyone, from the eighty year old woman to the three
year old child, everyone fell for my stunning beauty ......"
He talked continuously, and the more he talked, the more
energetic he became. Nangong Yue also let him talk, but her left ear went in
and her right ear went out. Only when he had said enough did she say,
"When I take you there later, I will say that you are from the opera
troupe, so don't say anything to avoid exposing yourself."
"Expose? Are you underestimating this Shizi?"
Xiao Yi glared discontentedly at Nangong Yue and suddenly cleared his throat,
placed his hands on his waist and gave a decent blessing, "Xiaoyu from the
slave family has seen several young ladies."
His voice was soft and pleasant, like a woman's, and did not
show any dryness, it was so natural.
Nangong Yue and Yi Mei were both startled and looked at Xiao
Yi with a shocked expression.
Xiao Yi, however, said with a complacent look on his face:
"How is that? Are you convinced by Benshizi's talent? Let me tell
you, Benshizi is a genius and has learnt ventriloquism before, he can't
even defeat the 91 voices, let alone just a simple female voice, so don't worry
about it." He waved a big hand and spoke with great ambition.
Although Nangong Yue was surprised, she therefore put her
mind at ease and just wanted a finish this quickly and felt like getting rid of
the demon.
By the time Nangong Yue led Xiao Yi and Yi Mei back to the
main hall of the opera house, the play on stage was reaching its climax and
those watching the play on stage were watching with great interest.
Nangong Yue was about to ask Xiao Yi to wait at the door,
but she saw Su Qingping immediately greet her and said enthusiastically:
"Yue Jie'er, you're back, ah." Saying so, her eyes fell on
Xiao Yi beside Nangong Yue, a strong flash of amazement in her eyes, "This
girl is ......"
Between the words, her eyes flickered slightly and after
sizing up Xiao Yi again, she found several suspicions points. In her heart, she only
felt that this woman was tall and her shoulders were also on the
wide..... She immediately remembered the male voice she heard near the
rockery just now, and her heart became a bit suspicious.
After settling down, Su Qingping smiled and tentatively
said: "Yue Jie'er, this girl looks very strange. I don't think I have seen her in the residence before?"
In her heart, Nangong Yue knew what Su Qingping was
suspecting, but she was calm and collected, casually introducing her:
"Ping Biaogu, This girl is a disciple of the opera troupe, but she
is not yet qualified to perform on stage because she has not yet become a
master."
Su Qingping was suspicious of Nangong Yue's words and
laughed again: "Oh? Is that so?" She turned her head to Xiao Yi
again, "What's your name?"
The Great Beauty Xiao bowed again in a pretentious
manner: "This slaves is Xiaoyu."
This voice, it was really a girl's voice. Su Qingping froze
for a moment, smiling innocently and enthusiastically, "Xiaoyu? What a
lovely name." Up until this point, her previous doubts had finally
vanished.
"This slave thanks the girl for her compliment."
Xiao Yi was getting more and more energetic and his brilliant smile instantly
added a few strands of brightness to his beautiful face, which was very pretty.
After a few polite words of little substance, Su Qingping
walked away indifferently.
Once he saw her leave, Xiao Yi flipped his face like a book
and withdrew his smile as he approached Nangong Yue and said in a low voice,
"Stinky girl, where is Nangong Zheng? I've come to see Nangong
Zheng."
He deliberately lowered his voice, and the slightly magnetic
voice unique to young boys swirled in Nangong Yue's ears, a little itchy and a
little hot, accompanied by the faint scent of Xiao Yi's body..... Nangong Yue
felt a little embarrassed and used the action of turning around to naturally avoid
him, "You stay here and don't wander off, I'm going to find my eldest jiejie."
Nangong Yue quickly led Nangong Zheng over to her. When
Nangong Zheng saw Xiao Yi, she was also stunned. She had always prided herself
on her beauty, and when she saw a strange woman who could compare to her own
beauty, her eyes showed a hint of surprise.
