Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 365: No Need for Others

"Brother, why are you here?"

She thought she should be in the same courtyard with her third brother, Su Shiche, Shen Guanqing and others. They were of similar age and were classmates. She didn't expect that the person in the same courtyard with her was her senior.

Given your status as a senior brother, you should at least have your own yard, right?

"Are you surprised that I'm here? My master told me that you've been getting less and less skilled in martial arts recently, so he asked me to urge you to practice more. You should study with me during this period. I will notify you to return when the academy is repaired."

The academy also needed to be rebuilt, and he never expected that his master would ask him to supervise his fellow students' homework.

Shu Xiaoxiao: This palace is really overcrowded now. Although the ministers have tried their best to reduce the number of staff, everyone in the entire palace is here. Although simple houses have begun to be built around it, it will take at least two days for everyone to settle down.

It was such a mess that she wanted to go back to the academy. Although the academy might be almost empty, at least there were fewer people there! Wouldn't it be more comfortable for her to supervise the workers and eat some tomatoes and cucumbers than to be surrounded by people?

Now not only can I not leave, but I also have to practice martial arts?

Even though she likes to be lazy, the master should still ask a master to supervise her!

With her small arms and legs, she can just practice martial arts as a hobby. She won't have to go into battle to kill enemies, and she won't have to suffer too much.

"Brother, I...my eldest brother told me that I am too thin and weak now, and asked me to take good care of myself. I can't handle too much strenuous training."

Shu Xiaoxiao barely found an excuse. It was not like she had never seen her senior brother practice martial arts before. Every drop of sweat was not shed in vain. It was very hard and boring. It was okay for her to watch, but if she practiced, it was a bit... cruel~

"Well, he is quite thin." Yun Qinghan looked him up and down, and he indeed looked like he could not endure hardship.

Seeing her reluctant look, he explained, "Don't worry, I've prepared training for you based on your situation. It won't be too tiring. You should have a good rest today and we'll start tomorrow."

"Well... well, just now my aunt called me, Senior Brother, I'll go to my aunt first, and I'll come over to practice tomorrow."

After saying this, she walked out dejectedly, thinking that after encountering such a big thing, she could take a break. Also, her master assigned her a lot of homework before leaving the palace to prevent her from being lazy. Now her senior brother wants to take her to practice martial arts, so she wants to give in.

Hey, students! As long as you haven't graduated, it feels like there's homework everywhere.

...............

"Mom, are you looking for me?"

Shu Xiaoxiao arrived at the courtyard assigned to her by the general's mansion. The courtyard was not big, so she only brought her personal maids and attendants with her. The other attendants went to a nearby farm and could barely accommodate them. The eldest and second sisters-in-law were also in the courtyard. When they saw Shu Xiaoxiao coming, they pointed to the room and let her go in by herself.

Seeing this scene, Shu Xiaoxiao immediately began to wonder if she had done anything out of the ordinary in the past few days. Fortunately, she was busy with the earthquake and didn't cause any trouble, so she could rest assured.

Seeing that only Ye Xue Ning and her nanny were in the room, Shu Xiaoxiao greeted them and sat down next to Ye Xue Ning, playing the role of a well-behaved daughter.

Ye Xue Ning looked at her daughter and sighed. She used to think that wearing men's clothes could make her daughter feel more relaxed and allow her to have more experiences before getting married. But in the end, she experienced everything that she should and shouldn't have experienced.

It would have been fine if she just acted in a high-profile manner, but she had already caught the emperor's eye while she was still studying in the academy. She was promoted faster than her father and brother. Also, the people she made friends with were either princes or princes. The headmaster, who others would love to see even if they begged for him, became his disciple as soon as his daughter entered the academy.

If this was really a boy, she would be happy even in her dreams at night, but he was a girl, and she was both proud and worried about such a big spot.

Now that she was about to turn sixteen, other girls had started to look for each other. Each one was either gentle and generous or well-educated. However, the girl in her family looked weak and sickly when she wore women's clothes, and looked romantic and amorous when she wore men's clothes. None of them was presentable.

She doesn't even know what kind of future son-in-law she's looking for? The eldest son in the family is always saying that his younger sister is still young and there's no need to rush. He doesn't even think about his younger sister's situation. He doesn't make preparations in advance, and instead goes and picks one up on the street?

Besides, she was already sixteen, how could it be too early? Before, she should have been married at this age, but his sister didn't even have an engaged man, so why was she not in a hurry?

Children are debts!

"How about you try this dress on?"

Ye Xue Ning pointed at the clothes next to her. Although she had never seen her daughter wearing women's clothes, it should be similar. If that didn't work, she could rely on her looks to trick someone into coming back.

Men are naturally fond of food, sex and nature. No matter how nicely they say things, it all depends on the appearance. As long as the girl is not bad looking, it should not be difficult to coax her back with my daughter's ability.

I heard that the girls in the brothel were so coaxed by my daughter that they offered to entertain her for free. They are more popular than those serious boys in the brothel. It should be easier to coax a boy............

Shu Xiaoxiao happily took the clothes, but when she saw them, she was full of questions: "Mom, women's clothes? This... This is not appropriate, right?"

Ye Xue Ning touched the soft material and said, "What's inappropriate about this? It was fine when we were at home before, but now you're out and about. You can't not show up, right? We all live so close now, and various banquets will start soon. Do you still need a stand-in? You have to show up!"

"After all, you are a serious lady of the general's mansion. Sooner or later, you will have to meet people. It's okay for normal times, but you can't use a stand-in in front of the public. The stand-in is still a stand-in no matter how beautiful it is. It's okay for normal times to deal with emergencies, but you can't do this in public. There are few fools in Kyoto."

Not to mention those old fox-like adults, even these women are not easy to fool. Either they never show up, or they go out quietly and use a stand-in or something. Once they show up, people will find out the clues. Everyone's eyes are sharp. Don't treat people as fools. That only shows that you are not that smart either.

Besides, it’s time for her daughter to look for a husband at her age. With her looks and status, she doesn’t have to worry about not finding a suitable husband.

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the light green dress in her hand and was also full of curiosity: "Then I will try it?"

In order to avoid any accidents, she hasn't worn women's clothes since she returned to Kyoto. At this time, it's not just women's clothes that can be worn, men's clothes also have many requirements.

The hairpins, jade crowns, and jade hairpins on the bald head can be different every day. There are also jade rings, jade pendants, jade locks, and jade belt hooks on the body. The accessories also include knives, swords, jade, pendants, bags, talismans, bags, and so on. There are so many kinds of accessories. When men dress up, they have no less things than women.

She usually had student uniforms in the academy, and the time during holidays was not enough for her to explore various exquisite men's clothing. After she had packed them up, the sense of accomplishment was no less than that of wearing a tutu skirt. Shu Xiaoxiao didn't even think about women's clothing.

However, I haven't tried women's clothing for a long time~~~

It’s nice to experience it now.

Women's clothing is still a bit cumbersome. After Shu Xiaoxiao took off her men's clothing, she didn't know where to start. It was Zhenzhu who helped her put it on. This women's clothing is quite cumbersome compared to men's clothing, and the key point is that it is not as comfortable as men's clothing.

Shu Xiaoxiao adjusted her dress. It was so tedious. No wonder she preferred men's clothes.

If it was a student's hairstyle, Shu Xiaoxiao would have no problem doing this, but this complicated bun was beyond her ability. Under the skillful hands of the nanny, Shu Xiaoxiao looked at herself in the mirror with some disbelief.

"Oh, so pretty, which fairy is this?" Shu Xiaoxiao held her face with a look of surprise. A white complexion can hide a hundred uglinesses, not to mention that she was not only fair but also not ugly. She had fair and rosy skin, delicate facial features, and a perfect outfit. Ancient costumes can easily enhance a person's appearance. The clothes her mother prepared for her were as elegant as a picture, like clouds and fairy clothes, and the delicate textures showed the beauty of classics.

Shu Xiaoxiao didn’t know how others felt, but she was completely amazed by herself.

This look, the beauty she could never have imagined in her previous life, she loved him so much that she even wanted to marry herself.

Ye Xuening looked pleased:..............

The nanny who was about to praise:..............

Full of stunning pearls:................

Well, Miss... is interrupting her.

But she is also really pretty: "Miss, you are really pretty, the prettiest girl I have ever seen."

Shu Xiaoxiao chuckled: "Yeah, I feel the same way. When I was dressed as a man, I felt that I was handsome, and now I am even more stunning in women's clothes."

"Mom, I'm so pretty. Fortunately, we hid it well, otherwise those young masters in Kyoto would have fought for my attention and shed blood! That would be terrible!"

Shu Xiaoxiao held her face, looking left and right. The more she looked, the more perfect she became. The slightly obscene smile on her face made people feel that she was cute. Her men's clothing had changed a lot for Huan Xincao. When she wore men's clothing, even though she was exquisite, there was a sense of youthfulness that came over her. She was careless and the exquisiteness disappeared invisibly.

But when she took off Forget-Me-Not's women's clothing, her delicate facial features were revealed without any obstruction, and she still had the cuteness that is unique to a young girl, which made people's eyes brighten again and again, and their eyes followed her involuntarily.

Ye Xuening, who was originally quite satisfied:...

Faced with a daughter like this, I really can't praise her any more. Most girls, no matter how much others praise them, will be modest and cautious. My own daughter has already been praised by herself, and there is no need for others to say anything.

Ye Xue Ning: "Not bad, stand up and let me see!"

Shu Xiaoxiao stood up and turned around twice with light steps. She was graceful and agile, her sleeves fluttering, and her skirt raised in a perfect arc with her movements. Shu Xiaoxiao felt that if cultivating immortals relied on her looks, she could ascend to immortality instantly.

Well, just so beautiful and so confident.

Ye Xue Ning looked at her narcissistic daughter and nodded in her heart. Yes, she was better than she had imagined. If the girls in Kyoto were gentle, cute, dignified and lively, then her girl was the one with spiritual charm.

My daughter's facial features are indeed good-looking, but not perfect. There is never a shortage of beautiful girls in the noble families in Kyoto. My daughter's facial features can only be said to be above average, but her aura makes her stand out among the noble ladies.

Perhaps it is because she has not been suppressed by all kinds of cumbersome rules, Shu Xiaoxiao has a feeling of ease and agility. It is not the kind of elegance and grandeur that is presented through various practices, but the kind of unpolished natural beauty that gives people a bright feeling.

There are almost no noble ladies of this style in Kyoto. After all, no daughter can dress up as a man and become a fourth-rank marquis. Most people, regardless of gender, cannot achieve this ability.

Well, with this look, it would be much easier for my daughter to coax a man back.

"Okay, change your clothes, and go do what you need to do. I won't keep you any longer."

After making sure there was no problem with her appearance, Ye Xue Ning started to chase people away. She really couldn't bear to see her daughter almost drooling in front of him.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it. How could someone be so rude to her?

Shu Xiaoxiao felt a little regretful: "Is it going to be changed now? I haven't even finished appreciating it yet?"

"Why don't you go out for a walk wearing this?" Ye Xue Ning raised her eyebrows.

"No, thanks. I'll change now."

Although she was reluctant, this was outside and her brothers were all here. It would be so embarrassing if she encountered this, and it would be even worse if she was recognized.

When she attended the banquet, she must have been in the ladies' section. She just had to be careful not to meet them. But now she was walking out in such a brazen manner. Wouldn't that be walking into a trap?

"Wait, do you still remember the etiquette that Nanny taught you? Demonstrate to me how to walk, drink tea, and maintain your manners." Ye Xue Ning suddenly said. She had to check it in advance, otherwise if her daughter was still like this at the banquet, she would be too embarrassed to see anyone in the future.

Shu Xiaoxiao:.............

What does this mean? Don’t you believe her?

"Just try it once and see what I say."

Shu Xiaoxiao blinked and looked at her mother's determined eyes. She had to adjust her expression, straighten her back, and her steps became steady and dignified. She sat on the chair with an elegant posture, her back straight, her chest up, her eyes looking straight ahead, looking like a noble lady.

Ye Xue Ning nodded, completely relieved: "Okay, go change your clothes. I will prepare a few more of these clothes for you. When the young lady of the general's mansion needs to go out, I will let someone notify you and you can come and change your clothes. After all, it is not convenient for you to carry women's clothes with you."

"As for jewelry, I have prepared several sets for you. If you like any of them, you can always tell me and I will prepare them for you in advance. So you should prepare well. There are so many people here, and they may notify you at any time. You must not make any mistakes by then."

"I understand, Mom. Can't I continue pretending to be sick?" Shu Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes.

"Shu Xiaoxiao, you have to remember that you are sixteen years old, not six. If it really doesn't work, mother will help you find a way to make Lord Ye 'die of illness'." Ye Xue Ning said seriously.

Shu Xiaoxiao: "Don't worry, mom, I will definitely perform well!"
