"Your Majesty, is this really alright?" Yueying looked at Luo Jiu, who was dressed in a blue and white gauze dress, with some unease.
"I think it's great."
Actually, Luo Jiu was also a little scared. She wore women's clothes to avoid being recognized, and it was her first time wearing them, so she wasn't used to it. However, one person was already panicking, and if she panicked too, she wouldn't be able to leave.
Luo Jiu had never worn women's clothing since she came to this world. Women's clothing was much more complicated than men's clothing, with layers upon layers. If it weren't for Yueying's help, Luo Jiu would have almost given up.
Luo Jiu wore a light blue ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) with a thin layer of white gauze over it, making her look ethereal. Her dark hair hung down, simply adorned with an exquisite hairpin, and her sideburns were glossy and beautiful.
His usual handsome features were washed away, revealing curved willow-leaf eyebrows, light brown almond eyes, and extremely natural light makeup. His thin lips, as fresh and juicy as a fruit, made one want to take a bite.
It must be said that Luo Jiu in men's clothing is strikingly handsome and possesses an extraordinary aura; while in women's clothing, Luo Jiu is simply the face of every man's first love. Indeed, this is a society that values appearance; if you're good-looking, you'll look good no matter what.
Luo Jiu didn't know what she was thinking. When she heard that Gu Muchen didn't object to going on a date with Si Nanyin alone, she acted impulsively and decided to dress up as a woman to see what the two of them were doing.
She couldn't help but complain inwardly, thinking that men were all heartless jerks; they'd say they didn't like it, but the moment you asked them to go out with a beautiful woman, they'd go without a second thought. She never imagined that she was the one who had helped Gu Muchen agree.
"Where are they now?" Luo Jiu asked.
"According to the time, we should be offering incense at Guanghua Temple," Yueying replied.
"Offer incense? What's so interesting about that?" Luo Jiu muttered to herself, but then said aloud, "Let's go to Guanghua Temple."
...
Guanghua Temple.
The saintess, still dressed in a purple gauze dress, sat with Gu Muchen under a marriage tree adorned with red ribbons, writing something. A moment later, she craned her neck to look to the side, letting out a melodious laugh. Her black robe and purple gauze dress intertwined, fluttering in the wind, appearing so harmonious.
The harmony was so intense that Luo Jiu couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to break it.
Luo Jiu thought this way, and that's what she did.
Seeing her walk up, he pretended to be surprised, his round almond-shaped eyes darting around as he greeted her with a smile, "Cousin? What a coincidence! You're here at the temple to pray for blessings too?"
Then, feigning curiosity, he asked, "Is this beautiful lady your sister-in-law?"
Gu Muchen remained silent, his gaze deep, as if he were stunned by Luo Jiu's appearance in women's clothing. He knew his Xiao Jiu was beautiful, but he hadn't expected her to be even more captivating than he had imagined...
Si Nanyin, standing to the side, blushed at Luo Jiu's teasing and grabbed Gu Muchen's sleeve, asking, "Muchen, is this your sister?"
Mu Chen? We've only known each other for a short time, and she's already calling me that so intimately. Doesn't this girl know what modesty is? This is so shameless. Don't you agree, 007?
[...]
Despite internally cursing a thousand times, she still had to put on an obedient smile. Her gaze shifted to Gu Muchen, her eyes full of hints.
Gu Muchen was brought back to his senses by Luo Jiu's glare, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing here?" His tone held a hint of reproach. Changing clothes so openly like this—what if bad guys saw them and kidnapped them…?
He acknowledged her calling him "cousin," but then began to fabricate reasons for her.
"Seeing that the weather is nice today, I got up early to come to the temple to fulfill my vow?" Luo Jiu made up an excuse to fool people.
