The autumn breeze is slightly cool, the moonlight is bright, and the young man is like jade.
When he smiled, even the moonlight was eclipsed.
Xie Mingxi stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar face, speechless for a moment.
The young man did not rush to urge or warn him, but quietly changed his posture to make himself look more upright.
After a long while, Xie Mingxi opened her mouth: "Why is Her Royal Highness wearing men's clothes today?"
The most surprising thing is that the astonishingly beautiful Sixth Princess wears men's clothing without any disobedience. She has a beauty that is charming and catches people off guard.
Beauty is alluring.
Even Xie Mingxi, whose heart was as cold as iron and as calm as water, felt that his heartstrings were quietly being plucked, and then he secretly laughed again.
The sixth princess is a woman like her, but she is just wearing men's clothes today. She is not a real young man. No matter how beautiful and touching she is, she should be honest with her.
Thinking of this, Xie Mingxi's sanity suddenly returned, and she regained her usual calmness and self-control. Her mind began to spin rapidly: "Is there something unexpected in the palace?"
…
Seeing Xie Mingxi quickly regaining her composure, the Sixth Princess secretly felt regretful.
If I want to impress her, just this handsome appearance is not enough...
"I made a bet with my father before. As long as I win the fourth emperor brother, I will put on men's clothes and pretend to be the dead seventh brother." The voice of the sixth princess, who was pretending to be a young boy, was also slightly different from the past.
If it were someone else, they might not notice it.
Xie Mingxi was as meticulous as dust and extremely perceptive, and immediately noticed: "Your voice seems different from before."
Of course.
The voices of boys and girls are inherently different. In order to prevent others from noticing the difference, I have to pretend to speak rarely. The voice at this time is the voice of a boy who belongs to Sheng Hong.
The Sixth Princess responded casually: "I will pretend to be Sheng Hong tonight, so my voice will naturally change slightly."
Is it really just that?
Xie Mingxi's eyes narrowed slightly and fell firmly on her friend's face.
The sixth princess felt a little guilty, so she smiled deliberately and said, "Are you not used to me looking like this?"
Xie Mingxi curled her lips: "It does seem a bit uncomfortable at first glance."
My friend suddenly transformed into a young man, and it was inevitable to be surprised.
The Sixth Princess also laughed and said pointedly: "Then you have to get used to it. I will always have the opportunity to wear the brocade robe again in the future."
Xie Mingxi thought in her mind and realized: "You and the Seventh Prince are twin siblings, with the same appearance. Although the Seventh Prince has died in an 'accident', when you put on the brocade robe, it will be like the Seventh Prince coming back to life."
"
In this way, you can not only take the opportunity to spy on the reactions of the concubines and princes in the palace, and find out the real culprit behind the murder of the seventh prince. You can also use this to win Concubine Mei's favor.
It’s a brilliant idea to kill two birds with one stone!
A subtle smile flashed in the eyes of the Sixth Princess: "I can't hide what I'm thinking from you."
Xie Mingxi smiled casually and asked: "Your Highness came out of the palace to see me so late, is it just to show me what you look like at this time?" There must be something serious!
The sixth princess answered confidently: "Exactly."
Xie Mingxi laughed dumbly: "Then I have to thank His Highness for your favor."
He ran out of the palace to come to the Xie Mansion and went through a lot of trouble just to see her. She could only accept this offer.
…
Congyu Fuyu also recovered from the initial shock.
Congyu only met the Sixth Princess once, but Fuyu saw her every day. After the initial shock, when he saw the Sixth Princess in men's clothes, he was surprisingly pleased with her.
It seems that the Sixth Princess was born to look like this. She is stunningly handsome and dazzling.
The beautiful third lady and sixth princess stand opposite each other, which is the most beautiful scene in the world.
The two maids did not want to disturb their master's conversation, so they quietly stepped back a few steps. The cool night breeze blew the intermittent whispers of Xie Mingxi and the Sixth Princess to their ears.
"How is the injury on Her Royal Highness's finger?"
"It was just a minor injury. I went back to the palace and took the best medicine, and it's no longer a problem. There's no one else here, so I just call you and me."
"Does Concubine Mei know that you are leaving the palace so late?"
"My father went to Hanxiang Palace tonight. My mother and concubine are still in the mood to worry about where I went."
"I've come here, and it's time to go back. There will be a horse racing competition tomorrow, so I have to rest early."
"Are you asking me to leave?"
"Since you heard it, why don't you leave quickly!"
"..."
Congyu and Fuyu held back their laughter and quickly looked at each other.
The young lady's habit of choking people with her words has not changed even in front of the noble Sixth Princess. However, the Sixth Princess is not annoyed at all, and now she has a look of sadness and grievance on her face.
"I came here specifically to see you, and you're so looking forward to my leaving?"
In the past, the sixth princess spoke very little and never had any unnecessary expressions on her face.
Tonight, after changing into a boy's attire, he felt like a different person. His eyes were lively and his expressions were particularly rich.
Xie Mingxi couldn't help laughing: "It's always a strange feeling when I talk to you tonight. It's like you have become another person."
The sixth princess raised her eyebrows and asked calmly: "You don't like me like this?"
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly and she responded meaningfully: "I can't tell for a moment what the real you is."
Another pit.
The Sixth Princess twitched her lips and quickly avoided this dangerous topic: "It's getting late, so I'll go back to the palace to rest. We'll see you at Songzhu Academy tomorrow morning."
…
The sixth princess came suddenly and left quickly.
Xie Mingxi stood outside the door, watching the shadows of a person and a horse go away together, then turned and entered Xie's mansion.
Xie Mingxi did not speak, but there was a smile on her lips and brisk steps, which showed that she was in a good mood.
Fuyu boldly smiled and said: "Your Highness, the princess, looks so handsome when she puts on men's clothes. She is no less beautiful than when she wears women's clothes!"
Xie Mingxi curled up her lips and hummed with a smile.
Cong Yu also lowered his voice and laughed: "It's so late, and Her Royal Highness the Princess even rode out of the palace specifically just to see the young lady. It can be seen that Her Royal Highness the Princess really regards the young lady as a good friend."
The smile in Xie Mingxi's eyes deepened, and she opened her mouth to order: "Don't spread the news that Her Royal Highness the Princess personally came to Xie's Mansion tonight. If anyone asks about it tomorrow, just say that Her Royal Highness sent a guard to deliver a message to me."
Congyu Fuyu agreed.
A dreamless night's sleep.
The next day, Xie Mingxi specially put on a black military uniform.
On this day, all students in Haitang Academy must wear military uniforms of the same color. In case any of the students participating in the competition cannot compete, they can be replaced at any time.
Xie Mingxi arrived at Songzhu Academy very early, but the Sixth Princess came even earlier.
Yesterday's boy dressed in men's clothing has disappeared. Today's sixth princess is wearing the black uniform of Haitang Academy. The well-fitting uniform outlines a slender figure, and her eyebrows are shining with heroic spirit and confidence.
It’s really...suitable for both men and women! (To be continued)
