Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Mo Hongyun was silent for a moment, then whispered, "It depends on your ability."

Shen Xingxi laughed out loud, [How cute! I like it even more. ]

Mo Hongyun pretended not to hear, suppressed the corners of his lips, sat on the chair, and waited for Xingxi to touch up his makeup.

But she didn't expect that Xingxi would apply the lip balm on her own lips.

There was a hint of confusion between his brows.

Xingxi, who had put on lip balm, pressed her lips against his.

He looked at the bronze mirror beside him, and saw that his lips were all covered with lip balm, a light red, not ugly, but it was obvious that the kiss just now was intense.

The lip balm on his lips looked more like the natural color of his lips, and paired with his glamorous makeup and red cheeks, it looked like...

Shen Xingxi lifted his chin, interrupting Mo Hongyun's thoughts, and commented, "It really looks like a bright and flamboyant young lady who was bullied by the guards and turned into a little kitten."

Mo Hongyun glared at Xingxi helplessly.

Shen Xingxi curled her lips: [This little look is really coquettish, so pretty. ]

Prince Yun: “…” How can he still be described as coquettish?

But Xingxi seems to like it very much, so should he glare at her more often?

Shen Xingxi took out a wet handkerchief, wiped Mo Hongyun's mouth, and carefully applied lip balm on him.

After applying it, he didn't forget to tease: "What should I do? The young lady is so beautiful, I want to eat lip balm again."

Mo Hongyun glared at Xingxi again uncontrollably.

The smile on Shen Xingxi's lips widened. Even though she was accused of being coquettish, he still glared at her. Was she so happy just by saying that she was pretty?

She pinched his face and said, "Stop making trouble, let's go."

Mo Hongyun nodded, pretended to be a young lady, and walked out first.

Shen Xingxi followed behind her, as if she were really a bodyguard.

The two walked to the side of the carriage. Shen Xingxi held the sword in both hands, bowed slightly and said, "Miss, watch your step and get on the carriage slowly."

Mo Hongyun, who was about to step into the carriage, paused and waited for the coachman to bring a footstool before stepping into the carriage.

He sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain. "Aren't you coming with us?"

"I'm afraid of humiliating the young lady." Shen Xingxi shook his head.

"I'm not afraid, so why are you afraid? Come up quickly!" Mo Hongyun showed her spoiled personality, mainly because she wanted to spend more time with Xingxi.

"Then I am sorry for the inconvenience." Shen Xingxi jumped onto the carriage and told the driver, "Go to West Market."

Inside the carriage.

Shen Xingxi glanced at Mo Hongyun's lips, then quickly looked away, took out a book and started reading.

Mo Hongyun gritted his teeth and said, "You really work hard."

[I’m just afraid that the lipstick will be smudged and it will be difficult to touch up. 】

Shen Xingxi explained in her mind, without taking her eyes off the book, and said in a calm voice, "Of course."

Mo Hongyun was delighted, but he said, "In that case, let's watch it together."

He approached the princess, snatched the book, and put Shen Xingxi's hand on himself, "Just like before, I'll turn the page when you say so."

"Okay." Shen Xingxi touched his abdominal muscles and silently read the contents of the book in his mind:

If the soldiers are strong, attack their generals; if the generals are wise, attack their emotions. If the generals are weak and the soldiers are weak, their power will naturally wither. Use them to resist the invaders and protect each other.

[This beauty trap really works. The beauty in my arms is so alluring. If I hadn't read it silently, I wouldn't have been able to bear it.]

Mo Hongyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was indeed using the beauty trap, but how could it be such a coincidence that Xingxi was reading the Thirty-Six Stratagems!

I just... kind of want to cover my face.

The carriage stopped in front of the West Market, and Mo Hongyun and Shen Xingxi walked forward one after the other.

Mo Hongyun then realized that Xingxi had not given him a script, and he still didn't know why he had to dress up as a woman.

But it was not a good idea to keep walking like this, one in front of the other. He didn't know which direction to go.

Out of the corner of my eye I suddenly noticed a woman who accidentally sprained her foot and was being supported by a maid.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he deliberately stepped on a stone, causing his feet to slip, his body to become unstable, and he fell backwards.

Shen Xingxi immediately supported him, and when she was sure that Mo Hongyun had stood firmly, she immediately let go of his hand and apologized, "Please forgive me, young lady. I was rude."

Mo Hongyun waved his hand, "No problem."

The West Market is always bustling with activity, busy traffic, hawking sounds and bustling crowds.

Many people saw what happened just now.

The sound of discussion also reached Mo Hongyun's ears.

"Whose lady only brought one guard with her? Isn't she afraid of ruining her reputation?"

"I think that young lady is shameless. She didn't even think it was a big deal when the guard touched her."

"If it were me, I would have hit my head and died if my innocence was destroyed in public."

Mo Hongyun's face darkened, and he vaguely guessed Xingxi's purpose for him to dress up as a woman. He walked up to the old lady who spoke last, and imitated the voice of the spoiled woman in his memory and said, "Then I'll let my guards touch you, and you crash to death in front of me, will you?"

The old lady was frightened by his sudden question and took a step back, her face turning pale.

She stammered, "You...how can you talk like that! There are so many people here, if he dares to touch me, I will fight him!"

Shen Xingxi walked up to Mo Hongyun and said, "Miss, I told you to bring a maid, but you refused. How can you ruin your reputation?"

When the old lady saw that the guards also agreed with what she said, the sense of crisis in her heart gradually dissipated.

She straightened her back and said arrogantly, "So you are willing to be a lowly person. How can a person like you have the face to live in this world? It is totally immoral!"

The old lady's friend also echoed, "Maybe the guards don't like her and are forcing her to marry like this!"

The words of the two attracted countless people's support, and many people who were watching the fun whispered.

"How shameless! In our village, this should be punished by being thrown into a pig cage!"

"Girls who don't keep themselves clean will always get their comeuppance. If this guard is determined not to marry her, I wonder who would be willing to marry her!"

"Have you heard? The daughter of the Wang family was kidnapped by robbers. She insisted on her innocence and died heroically in the end. This is the duty of a woman."

Mo Hongyun clenched his fists as he looked at the people pointing and talking.

Why is this happening?

You'd rather he fall than be touched by the guards, right?

Should you die just by being touched?

He had never paid attention to this aspect of things, but now that he was playing the role of a woman, he could empathize with it even more.

Shen Xingxi glanced at Mo Hongyun's expression, then stood up and took off her hair bun so that people could see that she was a woman.

The scene became quiet because of her action, and Shen Xingxi's voice was clearly heard by everyone:

"According to you, a woman should die just by being touched?

If I hire a killer and have him touch all the women in one night, wouldn't that mean everyone would die?

The idea that you should die if you lose your innocence is ridiculous!"

Her voice became more and more deafening, with a hint of anger:

"A woman regards her husband as her heaven. She marries him, takes his surname, bears children for him, and takes care of his food, clothing, and daily life. She is helpless and kidnapped by kidnappers. No one thinks that the husband, who is the heaven, should do anything. Instead, they think that the wife should hang herself out of shame. Is this reasonable?

What's the use of this day!"
