A new year should bring new things.

The day before New Year's Eve.

Wu Yingxue was still the same as before, circulating the Qinglong Qi on her own, observing the heaven and earth to understand the truth, wielding the long spear and practicing various gun skills.

Wait until the martial arts training is over.

Out of habit, she wanted to go to the center of Pingshui County, to where the Xu family was located.

Want to do something?

Actually no.

The girl just felt that other things were too boring and it was far better to stay with her husband, listen to his interesting stories, or help him handle government affairs.

"Hey, what is this..." Wu Yingxue realized something was wrong just after she took a step forward.

The red and white robe and the delicate light armor on his body had already cracked into tiny cracks and many gaps at some point.

For some reason, the girl recalled the phrase "New Year, New Weather".

Before the Dingyuan Palace was liquidated.

As a princess's daughter, she has endless clothes to wear every year. She must dress brightly and beautifully during festivals and will never wear torn clothes.

But times are different now.

The girl is no longer a princess.

She herself has no interest in dressing up.

However, it is New Year's Eve after all, and it is not a good idea to go to see your husband in such shabby clothes.

"Let's find someone to sew it up," Wu Yingxue thought.

She moves quickly.

He jumped onto the roof with the rise and fall of his legs, like a light flying bird. With one step and one leap, he quickly passed by the houses and headed towards his destination.

When I stopped, I saw many women doing needlework.

They are either someone's mother or someone's wife.

Not good at fighting.

Weak by nature.

But I wanted to do something to save the army.

Therefore, they were arranged by Xu Xi to get together and be responsible for doing some simple tasks.

"Mr. Wu?" Someone saw Wu Yingxue coming and asked in confusion what her purpose was.

The girl did not hide it and honestly pointed at the clothes on her body, saying that she wanted someone to help her sew it up. It didn't need to be too detailed, just fill the hole.

Such a simple request.

Naturally, I was satisfied.

The women took on this job with great enthusiasm.

But what happened next was beyond the girl's expectations. The women pushed her from behind and forced her into the house.

"Mr. Wu is planning to meet Mr. Xu, right?"

"We understand. We understand."

"We will fix the leak. For today, Mr. Wu, please change your clothes."

Wu Yingxue's eyes widened: "Huh!?"

The girl was caught off guard by the sudden development. She had no idea what was happening. When she walked out of the house again, she had changed her clothes.

No longer the heroic red and white outfit.

There is no external light armor that shows off its strength.

Instead, she was wearing a simple light green long dress.

The hem of her skirt rippled like lake water, reflecting the shape of the wind, and was extremely smooth and silky. Her waist was tied tightly with an inky black ribbon, and hung down at two equal lengths.

Beautiful cloud pattern fabric.

Swinging hair bun flowers.

As the girl walked, she seemed to have walked out of a painting, graceful and gentle, without her usual carelessness.

The clothes are beautiful, the decorations are beautiful, but it is the girl herself who truly highlights this beauty.

"Is this...really me?"

Wu Yingxue was a little confused.

She was shocked when she saw her full appearance through the bronze mirror brought to her by others.

In Wu Yingxue's memory, she had worn such a long skirt when she lived in the palace. Although it was not a few times, she had worn it before.

Just in memory.

No matter what time it was, it was never as beautiful as it is now.

Could it be that...

Is this what the old folks in the mansion often say, "Girls change a lot when they grow up"?

The girl fell into deep thought, greatly shocked.

"I feel a little restrained, but there is nothing I can do about it."

After the shock, Wu Yingxue frowned, gently pulled her sleeves, and then pulled her collar.

She was used to dressing up for battle, and always felt that such a long skirt was too inconvenient. No matter what she did, she was not as comfortable as usual.

However.

This is also a last resort.

On New Year's Eve, girls would feel embarrassed if they were still wearing their original shabby clothes.

"I hope you don't find it embarrassing..."

Murmuring in his mouth.

The girl subconsciously wanted to jump onto the roof, but then she remembered to change her clothes.

Running on the roof in a long skirt is somewhat eye-catching.

After thinking about it, the girl decided to walk obediently. Under the surprised gazes of passers-by, she walked towards the official residence in the center of the county town in a long skirt.

It was originally a place where county officials worked and rested.

It has become the office and warehouse of Xu's family.

The official residence is spacious.

If only Xu Xi were to stay here, it would be a bit of a waste of space.

But people did not want to disturb him, for fear of disturbing Xu Xi who was handling government affairs or practicing martial arts, so Xu Xi was forced to live alone.

The others, including Wu Yingxue, lived in very small places.

The Xu family was unwilling to only have preferential treatment for themselves.

Therefore, he converted the official residence into a warehouse, using most of the space for storing items and leaving only a small area for office and rest.

"Mr. has become more and more stupid recently. He doesn't even know how to be nice to himself."

He muttered these words.

Wu Yingxue was familiar with the route.

We passed by the messy warehouses, weaved through the narrow paths, and successfully arrived at the door of Xu's room.

He stretched out his finger and was about to open the door.

But he froze in mid-air again.

At this moment, the girl, wearing a light green dress, stood quietly in front of the door. After hesitating for a long time, she gently tidied her hair with her fingers.

She fiddled with the black hair on her forehead, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.

Will it be too scattered?

She thought so, and combed her hair over and over again, never getting tired of adjusting the bun that held her long hair together.

Slender fingers pinched the collar and smoothed it out carefully and patiently, even though it was already neat enough.

What's missing?

The girl wondered if her husband would find it strange that she was usually generous and magnanimous, so she dressed like this today.

Um, pull up your sleeves a little bit...

Can appear less fragile.

However, it's usually that style. If I change it up occasionally, maybe you'll think it's good, sir?

The girl kept struggling over various unnecessary details and hesitated for a long time.

Finally.

Wu Yingxue took a deep breath and patted her cheeks.

Open the door bravely.

He walked into the room pretending to be nonchalant.

"Sir, I'm here."

The room was empty. There was no response, and the person Wu Yingxue wanted to see was nowhere to be seen. There was only a pile of government affairs to be dealt with on the desk.

Yes, Xu Xi is not in the room.

“Huh!?”

The girl blinked.

If Xu Xi was not around, wouldn't her previous entanglement be meaningless?

"I did something stupid..."

Wu Yingxue wanted to punch herself, but gave up because she was afraid of the pain.

She walked to Xu Xi's office and sat down to handle government affairs, relieving Xu Xi's pressure while waiting for his return.
