Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Chapter 17 Beauty Reveals Her True Face

The surroundings were unusually quiet, and countless eyes were cast on Mu Yao.

She realized that she should cherish her innate gender advantages in Yunqi.

Prime Minister Xu, Li Taifu, Xu Shangshu and others are all powerful. Which one of them is not inferior to the noble lady?

The eldest princess - the emperor's younger sister, of noble birth and distinguished status.

Xu Qingcheng, the descendant of a royal family, a royal relative.

I am still helpless when I meet a noble lady.

When it comes to fairness, it’s up to the ladies to negotiate with each other.

Mu Yao confessed to everyone: "I am a woman. I am Brother Xu's wife."

Mu Yao retreated back to Xu Qingcheng's side, looking evasive, not daring to look at him. Seeing that Xu Qingcheng didn't respond, she reached out and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, but still got no response.

Mu Yao looked up, and saw a pair of deep eyes looking at her obscurely, as if trying to see through her heart. Mu Yao's heart sank: Brother Xu is really angry!

She looked away and lowered her head guiltily.

Gu Huiran was caught off guard and kept saying, "Impossible, impossible!"

Mu Yao refuted with a cold face: "Why not? I am a genuine woman. If you don't believe me, you can find someone to verify it."

Imperial Tutor Li and Minister Xu widened their eyes: "The Goddess of Luo River", "The Prosperous Picture of Yangming Town", "Drunken Beauty" and so on were all created by women?

Mu Xiaoyou is also a miracle doctor and the new owner of "Shuiyunjian"?

The noble ladies of Dayun have been subsidized by the government since birth, and their lives are much more secure than those of the men. In such a comfortable environment, most of them are spoiled and do not care about learning. If they can recite a few poems or play a few lines of music, it is enough to attract men from a hundred miles away.

Only the ladies from high-class families learn more. They are the only candidates to be wives of the royal relatives and noble families, and their families will devote their efforts to their careful training.

But they have too many admirers. Outside the palace, there are crowds of people, either making appointments to attend the Spring Banquet today, the Jade Qiong Banquet tomorrow, or going outing and worshipping Buddha the day after tomorrow. . . There are countless such activities, and they are not like the children who treat learning as cold in winter and hot in summer. Being able to spend some time and finish a complete course in a superficial way is already a rare outstanding example, a role model in learning.

Mu Yao is undoubtedly the only flower in Yunqi standing out in the autumn wind, standing proudly on the branch with a distinctive redness.

The Princess and Prime Minister Xu were so overjoyed that they hugged each other and cried with joy.

There is always a way out, Qingcheng is saved!

Xu Ruchen was stunned. It turned out that the lady they had been living with was a noble lady! He was extremely pleased that Qingcheng had found such an outstanding wife.

Wang Yanzhi's expression was much more complicated. He looked around and asked, "Except for the person involved, is there any lady present who is willing to help check?"

"Let me do it." A soft female voice came from behind Mu Yao.

A noble lady wearing a light silk gown of the color of the sea and sky and a veil on her head walked slowly towards them. Her graceful figure was gently wrapped in the silk gown, and the round fan in her hand was as light as a butterfly. A unique red agate was inlaid on her woven shoes, which made people imagine her beauty under the silk gown.

Mu Yao was surprised. She hadn't seen this beautiful figure just now. Who is she...?

The crowd of onlookers became lively again.

"Look! That... isn't that the most beautiful girl Helian Qing?"

"What! Is it Helian Qing from the Lanling Helian family? Is she back in the capital?"

"I must be dreaming! I can actually meet Helian Qing today."

"Which eye did you see? Didn't you see that she was wearing a mask?"

"Why are you wearing a veil? It's so heavy."

"Oh, have you forgotten the grand occasion of the last Spring Banquet?"

Speaking of the Spring Banquet three years ago, many people still remember it vividly. In order to catch a glimpse of Helian Qing, many young men trampled to death, injuring 2,800 people and killing 320 people. Helian Qing also became the real "young man killer" in Dayun. It is said that she was so frightened that she stayed in bed for three months. After that, she carried a mask every day and rarely showed her true face.

"Yes, yes, yes. It's better to wear it. It's safer."

Ye Qinghan looked at her with a complicated expression. Helian Qing was the only choice for the Crown Princess chosen by his father, but his mother did not like her, so the matter was still unresolved. He had met Helian Qing twice, and he could not say that he liked her, but compared with Gu Huiran, Helian Qing was undoubtedly more suitable to be the Crown Princess. The title of the most beautiful woman in Dayun and the eldest daughter of the Helian family in Lanling County were enough for her to sit on the throne. But she had her heart set on "the first son of Yunqi" - Xie Ci.

Wang Yanzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "Thank you, Miss Helian."

Helian Qing looked at Mu Yao's dazed expression and thought of the little squirrel they kept in the mansion. It was so cute. She took the initiative to stretch out her slender jade hand and gently took her into the inner room.

Mu Yao was a little reserved. She didn't like undressing in front of strangers. She pulled her corset reluctantly with a tight mouth.

Helian Qing chuckled and teased with evil humor: "Young master, you are too slow in unbuttoning. Let me help you." After saying that, she reached for Mu Yao's waist and pulled hard.

The wide robe fell down to cover her ankles, and the thin inner shirt fell to her waist, revealing her snow-white skin like a snow lotus on the top of Kunlun Mountain. The sunlight quietly came in from the carved railings and fell on Mu Yao's shoulders, emitting a light pink color, dazzling and eye-catching.

The heavy cloth wrapped around her chest said it all. Under Mu Yao's horrified gaze, Helian Qing quickly pulled off the white strip. A pair of plump and towering jade rabbits appeared, which made her waist look even slimmer and her curves even more exquisite.

Mu Yao seemed to have survived a thunderstorm. Her face flushed red and she shyly covered her face with her hands.

"Lady Helian, that's enough." Mu Yao said in a deep and delicate voice.

Helian Qing admired it with an intoxicated look on her face, but she always felt that something was missing. What was it?

Ah! She knew. Under the veil, a beautiful arc appeared on the corner of her lips.

"Not enough!" He then stepped forward and pulled off Mu Yao's hairband.

The thick, slightly curly burgundy hair shines brightly in the warm sun.

Helian Qing only felt that the figure of the woman in front of her was so good that it didn't look like a real person. Even as a woman, she felt her blood boiling and her breathing disordered.

But - it's so out of harmony with this ordinary face.

The way of heaven is to take away the excess and give to the deficiency. It turns out that heaven is fair.

Mu Yao was furious at being looked at by Helian Qing. She sneered a few times, and before Helian Qing could react, she rushed forward and ripped off her veil, leaving a few strands of her hair brushing against her ears.

Helian Qing's delicate face was revealed. Her skin was as white as snow, her face was like peach blossoms, her eyebrows were like willows, and her eyes were like autumn apricots. She was much more beautiful than Gu Huiran. If we compare her with Chu Manman, the "most beautiful woman in Yunlan", they both had their merits, but... She just had a bit more evil aura.

Yes, it was evil. Helian Qing was giving her an evil smile with the corners of his mouth curled up.

Mu Yao's scalp tingled at her laughter. She took three steps back and quickly put on her clothes.

"My dear, are you satisfied with my appearance?" Helian Qing stretched lazily, picked up the hat and put it back on slowly.

Mu Yao couldn't help but twitch her lips. She didn't expect to meet such an acting genius here. He glanced at her and said unhappily, "If you are satisfied, would you consider marrying me? I will carry you in a sedan chair and marry you with a beautiful wedding dress."

Helian Qing was stunned for a few seconds, then burst into laughter. The crowd outside the door was confused and held their breath, listening more carefully.

Fate, wonderful! Neither of them would have thought that today's meeting would make them best friends.

When the two came out, the crowd was already impatient.

Helian Qing bowed slightly to Wang Yanzhi and said, "She is indeed a girl."

The whole place suddenly became excited, everyone's spirits were unprecedentedly high, and for a while, the upstairs and downstairs were bustling with activity.

Xu Qingcheng's pupils trembled, and he seemed to be struck by lightning. He kept repeating in his mind: A Yao is a girl? A Yao is a girl!

Gu Huiran almost couldn't catch her breath and yelled hysterically: "Impossible, how could you be a woman? How is it possible?" Her voice became sharp with excitement, piercing people's eardrums.

Seeing that Gu Huiran was about to pounce on him out of control, the Huaiyang Marquis and his wife hugged her tightly and said, "Huiran, wake up!"

Wang Yanzhi frowned and said sternly: "Ms. Gu, please be careful about your words and actions."

A noble lady is so precious, and it would be troublesome if either of them was hurt.

Wang Yanzhi looked at Mu Yao again, suppressing his anger and said, "Ms. Mu, may I ask why you have been dressed like a boy?"

The surroundings instantly became quiet again. It seems that no matter what time and space we are in, there is no difference in the way people eat and watch melons.

Mu Yao met Wang Yanzhi's gaze and said, "It will be more convenient to run the restaurant in men's clothing. Lord Wang, there is no rule in Dayun that women cannot wear men's clothing, right?"

"No." Wang Yanzhi pondered Mu Yao's words and felt that they made sense. He then continued to ask, "Why didn't you stand up at the first opportunity?"

Wang Yanzhi must confirm the true relationship between her and Xu Qingcheng. Perjury, even if it is a noble lady, will be punished.

Mu Yao was silent. What should she say? Want to see how cruel Gu Huiran can be? Having a conflict with Xu Qingcheng and holding back her anger? Didn't agree to marry him before, but agreed now?

Wang Yanzhi is such a difficult man!

Mu Yao felt Brother Xu approaching, she gently took Xu Qingcheng's arm, looked at Wang Yanzhi and said with a smile: "Master Wang, what do you mean? Do you think I won't marry Brother Xu, or that Brother Xu won't marry me?"

After saying that, he glanced at Xu Qingcheng: "Brother Xu, are you going to marry me and let me be your wife?"

The princess and Prime Minister Xu were so anxious that they wanted to help Xu Qingcheng and shouted loudly: "Marry! Marry! Marry!"

What is this kid hesitating about!

Zhao Huaian had been watching the show silently. He thought, Brother Mu looked so weak, how could he be a man of honor?

Seeing that Xu Qingcheng was only staring at Mu Yao without saying anything, he could not help but remind her, "Xu Qingcheng! Your wife is asking you a question! When are you going to marry her?"

His great grandfather was right, this man read too many books, and things will turn into the opposite when they reach the extreme!

Xu Qingcheng raised her lips and smiled softly: "Ayao is my wife. When I have decided on an auspicious date with my family, I will go through the three matchmakers and six engagements to marry Ayao in a grand ceremony."

Wang Yanzhi replied seriously: "When the time comes, I will definitely come to support you and have a drink of wedding wine."

One wrong move in chess can lead to a complete loss.

Gu Huiran was so angry that she was shaking all over. "You ugly bastard, how could Xu Qingcheng be interested in you? Just look at your face, every corner is extremely ugly. Xu Qingcheng doesn't even like me, how could she like you? I can tell at a glance that you two are fake. Lord Wang, this bitch is giving false testimony, don't listen to her nonsense."

Before Wang Yanzhi could speak, Xu Qingcheng said forcefully: "Gu Huiran, you have a beautiful appearance but an ugly soul. You are scheming and always treat others as fools. You think you can play with others, but you don't know that you are the real fool. A Yao has the most beautiful soul in the world and has unparalleled talent. She is the best lady I have ever seen. I, Xu Qingcheng, will marry her in this life. I am willing to marry A Yao, sign a contract, and be together forever. We will grow old together and be together forever."

He had not spoken before, but confirmed his feelings for A Yao in his heart. He had already had an inexplicable affection for A Yao. Now that A Yao has regained her status as a noble lady, he is completely relieved.

Mu Yao gazed at Xu Qingcheng deeply, and her nose felt sore as she listened to his oath. Did she finally have a home in this strange world?

At this moment, Mu Yao decided to give her future life to Xu Qingcheng without reservation. She wanted to make all the men in the world envy her.

Mu Yao raised a mysterious smile: "Gu Huiran, you are not even as good as a hair of mine!"

She looked around and saw that the house was tightly guarded, both inside and outside. Those present were either royal relatives, high-ranking officials of the court, or noble ladies, merchants and guests. There was not a single servant to be seen.

Mu Yao sighed softly and asked politely, "Excuse me, can anyone give me a basin of clean water?"

Everyone fought for the melon. Not long after she finished speaking, several basins of water were brought to her in the blink of an eye. Among them was the fat boy Zhao Huaian.

Mu Yao was surprised at his speed. He looked plump and round, but his movements were as fast as a rabbit. It was true that one cannot judge a person by his appearance.

She thanked him, picked up the water and walked into the inner room. Helian Qing looked at him with interest, and the curve of her mouth gradually widened under her veil.

After washing away all the makeup, the stunning face is restored.

My God, what a color this is! All the words are pale.

Her appearance is as radiant as the morning glow at dawn; her appearance is as beautiful as the crabapple tree, intoxicating; her appearance is as breathtaking as the stars in the Milky Way.

The beauty is unprecedented in history, and the peony is ashamed of its jade-like beauty.

There is no beauty like this in the world, and you will never find it again in your lifetime!

She seemed to be a rare pearl created by the gods in the sky who gathered all the beauty.

Everything was quiet, as if everyone had evaporated collectively. Not even the sound of breathing could be detected. They dared not speak loudly, for fear that the fairy would be blown away by the wind.

"It turned out to be her!" Xu Qingcheng looked at Mu Yao absentmindedly, muttering to herself.

The beauties in "Beauty Picture", "Lotus Goddess" and "Drunken Beauty" are all her shadows. It turns out that the "woman" that I have been thinking about has always been by my side.

Mu Yao's face flushed, and she looked at Xu Qingcheng intently, and slowly approached. Their eyes intertwined, and the love in Xu Qingcheng's eyes became stronger.

"That's his A Yao, his wife." Xu Qingcheng repeated it over and over again in his mind.

Her long wine-brown hair danced at her waist, her jade-like cheeks were covered with a faint smile and a hint of girlish shyness, and her every frown and smile showed her elegance. Xu Qingcheng stared at Mu Yao's peerless beauty, and felt his heart beating like a drum. A strong feeling of suffocation came like a tide. He tried his best to control his trembling body. His shiny nails had already pierced deeply into his palms, but the piercing pain did not bring him much clarity.

"Wife." Xu Qingcheng blurted out inadvertently. He only wished to call her and whisper in her ear every day.

Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; except for the Wushan Mountains, all other clouds are but mounds. From this moment on, Mu Yao is everything to him.

Mu Yao gently held Xu Qingcheng's hand, interlocking their fingers, and glanced at Gu Huiran with a half-smile: "Gu Huiran, now it's my turn to settle accounts with you!"

Gu Huiran collapsed to the ground in a daze. The Huaiyang Marquis and his wife and several servants were stunned by the beauty, and when they came to their senses, they quickly helped her up.

"How is it possible? How can a woman be so beautiful? Impossible!" She laughed loudly, her face crazy, and she grabbed the people around her tightly and kept saying, "Xu Qingcheng is mine, he is mine, and he belongs to me, Gu Huiran."

Mu Yao listened to her crazy talk, her face gloomy, dark clouds surging in her eyes, brewing a storm. She faced Wang Yanzhi and said solemnly, "Sir Wang, I, Mu Yao, am suing Gu Huiran, a noblewoman from the Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion, for her failed attempt to seize my husband Xu Qingcheng. She slandered my husband for having a hidden illness and insulted his reputation, intending to sever his marriage, ruin his career, and force him to marry into the Xu Mansion. Her evil deeds have also caused great harm to me and irreparable reputational damage to the Xu family. Today is the first day of Shuiyunjian's opening. Gu Huiran maliciously harassed guests, provoked trouble, and slandered the restaurant for having problems with the water and wine, causing immeasurable financial and reputational losses to the restaurant. My husband Xu Qingcheng is the legitimate son of Princess Dayun, and a descendant of the royal family. Gu Huiran's actions have disrespected the imperial power, insulted the royal reputation, and poisoned and framed the royal family. Her crimes are heinous, and her methods are unprecedented and ruthless. Please give a fair judgment, Sir Wang, and return justice to the people!"
