Change starts with clothing
In the early morning, a meter of sunlight sprinkled on Liu Buqi's bright back. The calloused hands on his waist felt a comfortable warmth. He gently stroked the cheek right in front of him, looking at the man who was still smiling in his deep sleep.
Everything just happened naturally.
…
Last night, exhausted from being "taught a lesson" by Yue Lingxi, Liu Feiyan fell asleep early on Liu Buqi's small bed. Yue Lingxi was about to return to the barracks to rest, but unexpectedly, Bai Jinjing brought over bedding for the two of them.
Under the alluring moonlight, the two once lonely souls finally came together!
There is no question of being shy or happy. They have shared weal and woe, are in love with each other, are childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is already established. Some things are just bound to be that way, so why bother to be pretentious?
When Yue Lingxi opened her eyes, she saw Liu Buqi's eyes filled with smiles, the kiss they gave like an old couple, and the gentle patting of his dishonest hands. It was another sunny day!
Although she felt a little uncomfortable, it was not enough to affect her movements. She sat in front of the bronze mirror on the dressing table and tied up her long hair. He put a hairpin in her hair for her.
The simple ceremony between the two of them declared that when Liu Buqi stepped into the capital, she had completely become the mistress of Youzhou and the wife of Marquis Anguo!
Helping Yue Lingxi put on the standard black official robe with a golden python pattern, the commander-in-chief of Youzhou, Liu Buqi was at a loss as to what to do when he saw the unusually complicated attire for women of noble birth.
"Are you kidding me? This headdress must weigh ten pounds, right? Wearing it on your head for a day is going to kill you."
"Tsk tsk tsk, is this clothing? From inside to outside, there are four or five layers. How can I wear this?"
Fortunately, Yue Lingxi had already opened the door, and Bai Jinjing, who had been waiting outside, walked in with several female etiquette instructors and palace maids sent from the palace. They were the ones who came to help Liu Buqi put on his clothes!
The Taiyue Dynasty was founded on the virtue of water and advocated a simple style. The rank of an official could be easily distinguished by the patterns embroidered on his black robe.
But when it comes to these wives of officials, the situation is completely different. The standard costumes for ladies of different ranks are not only varied, but also extremely difficult to wear. It takes three or five people and an hour to dress them neatly!
Liu Buqi had only been wearing it for an incense stick of time when she could no longer sit on the stool. She had never liked this dress for women, which was layered on top of each other and had patterns and styles similar to those of Japanese kimonos.
Now I'm even more fed up! Thinking about having to wear this thing all day is so annoying! "Stop putting this on me! I don't want to wear this lady's dress anymore!"
The female teacher who was leading the group had long been accustomed to the fact that the wives of officials who were sent back to the capital did not like to wear the clothes of women of official rank. The wife of the Marquis of Anguo was of humble origin, so how could she understand any etiquette!
So he threatened lightly, "Madam, this imperial dress is a gift from the royal family. You must follow the etiquette when you go to the capital to receive the title. If you continue to make a fuss like this, you will delay the audience and make it difficult for the Marquis!"
Liu Buqi chuckled, "It's hard, so it is! It takes two hours to put on a set of clothes! And you blame us for wasting time? Jin Jing, go and get my official uniform."
I am the genuine commercial and administrative envoy of Youzhou, a subordinate of the Youzhou commander-in-chief. It is not rude to wear an official uniform to meet the emperor, right?
Bai Jinjing always followed his wife's orders. Upon hearing this, he hurried to the carriage and took the official uniform that Liu Buqi had prepared in advance.
It was also a black brocade robe, but the chest was embroidered with a huge blooming peony, and underneath the robe were black silk trousers and cotton boots.
The peony is arguably the national flower of Taiyue, and only the highest-ranking female officials could have it embroidered on their official uniforms! Although the Shangzhengshi was merely a subordinate of the Duzhishi, he didn't have a specific rank.
However, the actual rank of such an official in charge of a state's commercial affairs would definitely not be lower than the third rank, the highest rank a female official could reach.
She put her hair up higher and put it up again, with a roof-shaped hat firmly fastened on her head. Liu Buqi stood in front of the bronze mirror and admired this hairstyle that made her very satisfied.
The sun rises in the east, and I am invincible!
"Hehe, it really looks like it!"
The palace ladies naturally tried their best to stop it, and even went so far as to invite the marquis back from the door, hoping that he could control this lawless mountain woman.
Unexpectedly, after Yue Lingxi entered the room, he just nodded in appreciation without saying a word.
The Liu Buqi I like should have been this unique! How could she be compared to the ladies in the imperial city who were dressed up in makeup every day?
Only the heroic Liu Buqi is worthy of being the mistress of Youzhou's 300,000 soldiers!
Only such unparalleled elegance can truly be worthy of the title of the best in the capital!
not to mention!
Today's Yue Lingxi and Liu Buqi are no longer the children who looked around in panic and were driven out of the capital for being uncultured!
Youzhou is bitterly cold and has difficulty in obtaining food. Apart from the presence of many strong soldiers and generals, it is not worthy of more attention from the Taiyue court.
Even if the Lu family moved away and resolved their worries, Youzhou could only be considered a relatively powerful vassal state at best.
But now the empire is in civil strife, and the armies of Guannei Hou and the prince have been in a long-term standoff, and neither can control the other, so Youzhou's status has suddenly become prominent!
Whoever he sides with can almost determine who will rule the world!
The weight from Youzhou is very valuable, so even if you sell it, you have to get a good price!
Therefore, Youzhou must have Youzhou’s attitude. Liu Buqi’s attitude is Yue Lingxi’s attitude, which is Youzhou’s attitude!
Change starts with your clothes!
…
As I slowly walked out of the house, my eldest brother and sister-in-law had already been brought up. No matter how they repented, their family affection would always be frozen in the past.
Liu Buqi ordered Bai Jinjing to give them a large sum of money, and he also helped them understand Liu Feiyu's past which was too painful to recall.
至于大大咧咧跑来迎娶续弦的张家财主，早就被张惜弱一顿假公济私的胖揍，估计一时半会还下不了床。
Pulling Liu Feiyan over, he looked back at this old house that was filled with mixed emotions and sighed softly.
"From now on, it will probably be difficult to have the opportunity to come back, right?"
Liu Buqi resolutely turned around and met Yue Lingxi's eyes. Suddenly, a strong sense of confidence burst out from his eyes!
Liu Buqi’s new battle will begin today!
…
Anhua Gate in the capital;
When Yue Lingxi left here in a prison van, it was hard for him to imagine that he would one day come back in the same way as now!
Liu Buqi had been sleeping soundly in the carriage all the way. He finally stuck his head out and observed this ancient capital of Taiyue Kingdom with great interest.
After entering Anhua Gate, you will see the central axis of Taiyue City, Xuanwu Street, where eighteen horse-drawn carriages can run side by side.
The entire Taiyue City is divided into two parts by it, facing north and south. On the left are the residences of officials, with unique scenery.
On the right are the East and West Markets where merchants from all over the world gather. It is extremely bustling with music and dance every night.
