Chapter 154: Restoring the original name, Gu Siqing
"Are you here to tell me this?" Bai Ziyu handed the warm wine to Liu Mingyue and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Many people in the capital know me. Now that I have no worries, I want to heal the scars on my face." Liu Mingyue tilted her head back and drank the wine. As the strong liquor went down her throat, her frozen body quickly warmed up.
In fact, she could clear the remaining poison in her body and remove the scars on her face by herself. Later, she thought that if she cured her face herself, it might arouse Bai Ziyu's suspicion. After all, she had never systematically studied medical skills with Bai Ziyu in this life, so she simply asked him for help.
"So you asked me to help you treat your face." Bai Ziyu took a sip of wine, glanced at Liu Mingyue who was holding the heater, with a slight smile on his face.
"Once the scars on your face are healed, you will transform from an ugly girl into a beautiful woman. Are you ready?"
Bai Ziyu raised his hand and pinched her face. Liu Mingyue's face was hot, but his fingertips were as cold as snow.
Liu Mingyue stroked her chin and thought seriously for a moment, then shook her head jokingly and said narcissistically: "When I become a great beauty, I'm afraid many young men of marriageable age will come to ask for my hand in marriage, which will really give me a headache."
After Liu Mingyue finished speaking, she and Bai Ziyu looked at each other and burst into laughter. For a moment, the two seemed to be back to the past.
The poison Zhou Baili had given Liu Mingyue was not a difficult one. If the poison stayed in the body, it would cause scars. For Bai Ziyu, this poison was just a piece of cake and was easy to cure.
Bai Ziyu never procrastinates in practicing medicine, especially when it comes to the diseases he is good at, and the results are quick. In less than half a month, under his treatment, the scars on Liu Mingyue's face have faded a lot. However, the Prime Minister's birthday banquet has also arrived.
Prime Minister Yin was a high-ranking official, a man of integrity and a veteran of two dynasties. Everyone gave him some face on his birthday.
The prime minister's residence sent out invitations to the families of various officials, but naturally omitted the Zhou family.
"Miss, the banquet is about to start in the flower hall. Lord Yin is already in the front hall welcoming guests. Miss Yin came to ask you when is the best time."
Peanut came in with a bottle of hot water and looked at Liu Mingyue who was dressing up and asked. Guihua was combing her hair very quickly, but she was able to tie Liu Mingyue's hair into a bun meticulously.
When they moved into the prime minister's residence, the old lady asked Liu Mingyue and her daughter to choose the courtyard they liked.
Liu Ruyi had not seen her mother for many years, so she naturally chose to live next to the old lady's courtyard. Liu Mingyue was not particular and planned to live in whichever courtyard she liked, but later she was invited by Yin Miaoyin to live next door.
"Just say I'll come over after I finish combing my hair." Liu Mingyue put the jewelry she had chosen on her bun, took out the prepared human skin mask and put it on, carefully checking that nothing was revealed before getting up and leaving the house.
The birthmark on her face had not completely faded, and it could actually be covered with makeup, but this was not as reassuring as wearing a human skin mask. Liu Mingyue decisively chose the latter.
"My aunt, you finally came out." Yin Miaoyin was waiting anxiously in the warm room. She heard the sound of rings and pendants from behind and knew that it was Liu Mingyue who came out. She complained with a smile.
When her eyes fell on the woman who was slowly walking towards her, Yin Miaoyin's pupils widened. She quickly stepped forward to hold Liu Mingyue's shoulders and looked her up and down carefully.
"You...you." She hesitated for a long time, finding it hard to imagine that Liu Mingyue would be so bright and beautiful in women's clothes.
When Liu Mingyue dressed up as a man, she looked quite youthful, so even though she was not so majestic, one would not feel that she was a woman. But now that she put on a human skin mask and women's clothes and dressed up a little, she was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.
"Hurry, let's go to the flower hall and show it to grandma and my mother." Yin Miaoyin couldn't wait to take Liu Mingyue's hand and go to the front hall.
Both of them wore rings and pendants on their waists and hairpins on their temples; when they trotted, the gold and jade touched each other, making a slight sound that was very pleasant to the ear.
When the two sisters arrived at the flower hall, the old lady was already waiting in the warm room with Liu Ruyi and others.
"Oh, grandma's darling grandchildren, the two of you dressed like this look like real sisters." The old lady held Liu Mingyue and Yin Miaoyin's hands, her love for her two granddaughters was beyond words.
"Mother, the guests are already seated, let's go out too." Mrs. Zhen walked in and reminded.
The old lady smiled and glanced at Liu Ruyi, then left the warm room surrounded by her daughter and granddaughter.
"I think you all already know that I found my beloved daughter not long ago. Today I will introduce her to you."
As soon as Prime Minister Yin finished speaking, the old lady and Liu Ruyi and her group walked out of the warm room.
The guests' eyes all fell on the group of people who came out. Everyone knew the Old Madam, Madam Zhen and Yin Miaoyin, but Liu Ruyi and Liu Mingyue were strangers.
When they saw two women who looked like fairy concubines coming forward and greeting the guests one after another, many people at the table took a deep breath.
Many of the guests at the banquet knew the old lady when they were young. They recognized at a glance that Liu Ruyi looked similar to the old lady when she was young. She was charming but not vulgar, and very eye-catching.
The girl following behind the old lady's daughter looked to be just over 15 years old. Her eyes and brows were curved when she smiled, like a stream flowing slowly under the moonlight, peaceful and gentle.
"This is my beloved daughter, named Yin Yaoxin. This is my granddaughter, named Gu Siqing."
The Prime Minister proudly introduced his daughter and granddaughter to the guests, and the old lady's smile never faded.
After the Prime Minister finished his introduction, the guests present all said some polite words of compliment and then took their seats.
"Sister, since you had a name before, why did you change your name to Liu Mingyue?"
As soon as they sat down, Yin Miaoyin came over to gossip. After Gu Siqing returned to Xiangfu, Yin Miaoyin still had a lot of homework to do every day, so she didn't know that she changed her name back.
"After my mother remarried into the Zhou family, Zhou Junyuan didn't like my last name being Gu, so he asked me to change my name to my mother's."
Gu Siqing said it lightly, but when she changed her name that year, she was extremely reluctant.
Her real name was given to her by her father, but Zhou Junyuan felt that it reminded him of her father, so he really disliked the name and forced her mother to change her name.
"So that's how it is. You must have suffered a lot in the past, but you won't suffer that much in the future. Come, I'll take you to meet my friends."
Yin Miaoyin was a smart person. She could hear the obscure meaning in Gu Siqing's words and quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, I'll follow you at the banquet today." Gu Siqing smiled at her and let Yin Miaoyin pull her around the women's table.
"Miaoyin, is this your cousin? You even used the same pattern of cloth for your clothes. You look so well-matched." As the two of them walked in, someone waved at Yin Miaoyin.
