Chapter 197 Returning to the Capital

Early the next morning, a group of respectful servants brought familiar clothes and jewelry to Lou Xiao who had just woken up.

Just like the one she had in the capital, it was extremely luxurious and dazzling.

Looking closely, it was even more exquisite and gorgeous than the ones she wore in the capital.

"Who sent it?" It had been a long time since Lou Xiao dressed so formally.

Away from the capital, no one cared about her clothes, and no one nagged about the Duke of Zhenguo's reputation like Lou Hong did. She was indeed much more relaxed.

"Your Excellency, I am here on the orders of King Youshan to help you wash up. This is the Yunzhu crown presented by Lord Xian of Yunsu City. It was made specially for you overnight."

Well, I've already found out about her dressing habits in the capital.

Since Xiao Zhengdu had nodded, she just followed their lead.

After changing her clothes, Lou Xiao sat in front of the dressing table and blocked the powder that was about to be applied to her face with one hand.

"No need."

How should I prepare for painting after applying such thick powder on my face?

There was also a wig and two full plates of gold hairpins placed aside, which were much more formal than what she wore in the capital.

She was a little skeptical about Xiao Zhengdu's aesthetic taste and was not very willing to let someone dress her up.

"Adults have radiant and glowing skin, so they really shouldn't overdress."

Yuheng, who appeared out of nowhere, was dressed more formally today. He watched for an unknown period of time and interrupted at the right time.

"If my Lord does not mind, how about letting me dress you up?" He knelt down with his body submissive, but raised his head and looked at her with eyes full of expectation.

The servant beside him obviously knew his identity, and lowered his head and whispered hatefully,

"Are you worthy of being a prostitute? Don't ruin the good looks of the master. The master has important matters to attend to today, and you are not allowed to interfere."

Yuheng lowered his head and dared not refute, looking so pitiful.

Lou Xiao looked at what the people Xiao Zhengdu called were wearing, then looked at what Yu Heng was wearing, and after hesitating for a moment, she chose what she liked.

She pointed at Yuheng and said, "Get up. Don't make it too complicated. Just do what's appropriate."

Her pointing made the leading servant panic. The opportunity he had fought so hard for wasted. He would definitely be blamed if he returned. He hurriedly spoke up for himself.

"My Lord, how can a humble person have some knowledge... His Royal Highness King Youshan ordered me to come..."

Lou Xiao brushed her hair behind her ears and said, "If His Highness blames you, just tell him the truth. He is not that petty. You can go and tell him."

The words were unquestionable. The servant wanted to explain further, but he saw a cold look in her eyes in the mirror. He recalled the performance of this Duke of Zhenguo in the competition arena of Qianshan Temple.

She is actually not as easy to talk to as she appears.

The waiter bowed his head and left, leaving behind the counter filled with golden hairpins and cloud-colored pearl crowns.

There was also Yu Heng, who had just stood up and walked forward, looking into Lou Xiao's eyes in the mirror.

He didn't expect that she was really willing to let him come. Yu Heng's eyelashes flickered slightly and he was dazed. It was Lou Xiao's words that woke him up.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up, or you'll be beaten if King Youshan comes to kill you."

Yu Heng hurriedly lowered his head and said "yes". He was so flustered at first that he calmed down and suppressed the panic in his heart.

The first time he was so close to her, he actually felt his heart beating faster.

His fingers touched the rouge on the stage, he exhaled carefully, and applied makeup for her carefully.

At this moment he knew that he should say a few more nice words to please her, but his lips moved but he remained silent.

I’m afraid of saying something wrong.
