How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

Tong Xin nodded slightly, but for some reason, she felt a sense of loss.

If the lady comes back, then the master won't need her to accompany him at night. After all, she can't tell the lady about her relationship with the master for the time being.

But no matter what, since the master is so looking forward to the lady's return, she should be happy too. Why should she be sad?

As they walked, the female shopkeeper in front suddenly turned around, glanced at Xu Chengling, and asked:

"Could this gentleman be Mr. Xu?"

"Oh, you know me?"

Xu Chengling was a little surprised. He seldom went out and always asked his servants to do things for him. In fact, not many people in the capital knew him.

"Mr. Jia said that if you see a man with a beautiful maid by his side, wearing white clothes and with an outstanding temperament, he is Mr. Xu from the Xiangguo Mansion."

The female shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, shopkeeper."

Xu Chengling smiled slightly. This female shopkeeper didn't look very old, but she was very good at speaking. After all, who wouldn't like to hear compliments, even if they were a bit exaggerated?

"Mr. Jia said that if Mr. Xu comes to the store, all the goods will be half price."

The female shopkeeper thought of Jia Wanyi's instructions and said calmly.

Xu Chengling smiled but didn't say anything. It seemed that the Jia family was very concerned about how the cancellation of the engagement would affect the cooperative relationship between the two families, so they gave the Prime Minister's Mansion some benefits in all aspects.

"Take her to get measured."

Xu Chengling said to the female shopkeeper that this was not Tongxin's first time here and she quickly measured the size.

After taking the measurements, the female shopkeeper took Tongxin to a special area where there were ready-made clothes in various colors and styles, all made of the best fabrics.

Naturally, the price is also the most expensive, and even at half price, it is still not cheap.

However, Xu Chengling has plenty of money. Tongxin has followed him for so long, so isn't it natural for him to buy her some nice clothes?

While Tong Xin was choosing clothes, the female shopkeeper came over and whispered in her ear:

"Little girl, do you like this Mr. Xu?"

"what?"

A blush appeared on Tongxin's pretty face, and then she nodded slightly.

When the female shopkeeper heard this, she smiled confidently and suggested in Tongxin's ear:

"If that's the case... I have a few clothes here that can definitely help you."

Afterwards, the female shopkeeper took Tongxin to see the clothes she mentioned. After seeing them, Tongxin walked out with a red face.

These clothes...are they too embarrassing? And will the master really like them?

"Will the Master like it?"

"Little girl, you don't understand this. I'm an experienced person in this regard. Men don't really care what the clothes look like. They only care about who is wearing them."

"If he really likes you, will he care what you wear? Even if you don't wear clothes, he will like you."

The female shopkeeper patted her chest and assured her that as long as she followed her method, there would be no man she could not conquer.

"Just putting on clothes is not enough, you also need some skills. Let me teach you..."

Then, the female shopkeeper whispered a few words into Tongxin's ear, making her pretty face turn red and her heartbeat quickened.

"Ah."

Tongxin nodded. Now that she knew the method, she decided to give it a try.

At least, she wanted to let her master know her true feelings.

Xu Chengling didn't know what Tongxin and the female shopkeeper talked about until Tongxin came out. He found that the girl's cheeks were a little hot, so he couldn't help but touch her forehead with the back of his hand. It seemed that she didn't have a cold either.

"Have you picked out your clothes?"

"Ah."

Tong Xin nodded, her pretty face slightly red.

Xu Chengling was a little surprised. In the past, he was the one who chose for Tongxin, but he didn't expect that she would choose by herself this time.

However, he was a little curious about what clothes Tong Xin bought, so he asked:

"Tong'er, what clothes did you buy? Let me see them too."

"Ah, no, my lord, you can't look at that."

Seeing Xu Chengling wanted to look, Tongxin suddenly became alert like a frightened rabbit. Her pretty face turned red. She quickly covered the bag of clothes tightly and hid it behind her.

Seeing Tongxin's big reaction, Xu Chengling did not continue to force her. Instead, he seemed relieved like an old father who saw his daughter finally grow up.

He touched Tongxin's hair, smiled and said to her:

"Everyone has their own privacy. If you don't want me to see it, I won't see it."

"No... If my Lord wants to see it, of course it's fine... but not now."

Tong Xin shook her head and spoke hesitantly.

She couldn't wear it for her master to see yet. If he saw it in advance, the surprise would be gone.

This was a surprise she prepared for her master.

I just wonder if the master will like her surprise?

Chapter 120 Just Call Me Yu Yi

After Tong'er picked out the clothes, Xu Chengling found the female shopkeeper and discussed the matter of custom-made underwear with her.

He handed his design to the female shopkeeper and asked her to take a look.

As a result, after the female shopkeeper saw his design, her beautiful face blushed and said:

"Master Xu... Isn't this design too revealing... And there's too little fabric."

The female shopkeeper looked at the figure in the design drawing. The place where she was originally wearing a bellyband was changed into a cotton cover that could just cover the chest, and then there was a strap on the back, which was fastened with something like a button.

Then there are the underpants, where there is even less fabric. There is only a triangular area of ​​fabric, plus the straps at both ends. It is simply shameless.

After seeing this design, the female shopkeeper almost fainted. She couldn't imagine that this was actually an underwear that women would wear underneath. Is there any difference between wearing this and being naked?

This is just the first version of the design. According to Xu Chengling, there will be bolder ones later, but for now, let's try this ordinary one.

This is just the ordinary style, she doesn’t dare to imagine the styles that come after this.

Seeing the female shopkeeper's reaction, Xu Chengling could probably imagine how difficult it would be for his wife to wear the underwear he designed himself.

Besides, my wife is a relatively conservative woman. Asking her to wear this would be more difficult than killing her.

Although Xu Chengling's design was already very conservative, and he didn't add any lace suspenders or anything like that, but considering that the women in Dayan generally wore bellybands and knee-length panties, it would be very difficult to change their ideas all at once.

Therefore, Xu Chengling did not plan to promote this design. He just wanted to see what an ancient beauty like my wife would look like wearing modern underwear. He had long wanted to try it.

Of course, the most important thing is that out of consideration for his wife’s health, the underwear he designed is very comfortable to wear so that she doesn’t have to get tired just by walking every day.

"Boss, just tell me if you can take it."

Xu Chengling looked at the female shopkeeper in front of him and asked her.

If we can't even do Liuyunfang, then there's nowhere else we can do it.

"Mr. Xu, the design you gave me is too bold. I have never seen it before, nor have I tried it before..."

The female shopkeeper paused, gestured, and said in a deep voice:

"You have to pay more."

"Sure, but use the best fabric."

Xu Chengling agreed very readily. As long as it could be done, the money would not be a problem.

It turns out that there is nothing that money can't solve, and if there is, you have to pay more.

After handing the design drawings to the female shopkeeper, Xu Chengling took Tongxin away from Liuyunfang.

As for the underwear he ordered, Liuyunfang would only send someone to deliver it to the Prime Minister's Mansion after it was finished, so he didn't need to worry too much.

Xu Chengling and Tongxin walked slowly on the streets of the capital. People were coming and going on the roadside, and there were occasional shouts.

As New Year's Eve approaches, both sides of the street begin to be decorated with lights and lanterns, couplets, New Year pictures and other New Year's Eve supplies are sold on the street stalls.

Although it is not New Year's Eve yet, there is already a festive atmosphere on the streets.

It is said that on New Year's Eve, the imperial court will lift the curfew, and those young ladies who usually stay at home will take to the streets to watch lanterns, guess riddles, and participate in various entertainment activities, making it very lively.

Xu Chengling thought for a moment and decided that he should call some servants out to buy some supplies for New Year's Eve and prepare the house.

He counted and found that there were three days left until New Year's Eve.

It can be said that this day is the most important festival for wild geese. In addition to the New Year’s Eve dinner, it is of course necessary to go out to the streets to play and relax.

Walking on the street, Xu Chengling heard the sound of wheels turning gently.

A carriage stopped in front of him and a woman in white stepped out. She had a veil on her face, but it couldn't completely cover the birthmark on the other side of her face.

The woman had a very pretty face and a slender figure. She was wearing a simple white dress. If there was no birthmark on her face, she would have been a stunning beauty.

It's a pity that God was not kind to her. He gave her a beautiful face, but also splashed it with ink with his own hands.

But in Xu Chengling's opinion, it's all the same when the lights are turned off.

"Mr. Xu, we meet again."

Sun Yuyi got off the carriage, bowed slightly, and greeted Xu Chengling.

"What a coincidence, Military Advisor Sun."

Xu Chengling also greeted the other party. Ever since he saw the other party's face-reading ability last time, he felt that the other party did have some real skills.

But she seems to be Prince Jing's person, what does she want to do in seeing him?

"Master Xu, you don't have to call me Military Advisor Sun. Just call me Yu Yi."

Sun Yuyi said calmly. She looked up at the man in front of her and carefully observed the changes in his expression.

"Mr. Xu, you don't mind that Yu Yi is ugly, do you?"

Sun Yuyi couldn't help but put her delicate hand on the birthmark on her face and suddenly asked him.

"No, I think Miss Yuyi is very pretty, a beauty."

Xu Chengling replied calmly, but her answer made Sun Yuyi feel a little disappointed. He was just like everyone else, telling lies with open eyes.

At this time, Xu Chengling continued:

"In fact, I admire Miss Yuyi very much. She can accept her imperfections and treat them with a normal heart. I think Miss Yuyi has a strong heart. A person with a strong heart will not care about other people's opinions."

At least in Xu Chengling's opinion, Sun Yuyi is indeed a beauty. Besides, she didn't choose to have the birthmark on her face. It would be difficult for anyone to accept this fact.

But Sun Yuyi readily accepted his imperfections, and this alone is worth learning from.

"Is this how Master Xu views Yu Yi?"

Sun Baiyi looked at Xu Chengling in front of her. Any subtle changes on the other's face could not escape her eyes. She also used this ability to make a preliminary judgment about a person.

At least for now, Xu Chengling has not shown any disgust because of her appearance.

Don't judge a book by its cover; this was Sun Yuyi's initial impression of him.

As a result, Sun Yuyi let down her guard a little towards Xu Chengling.

"Miss Yuyi, do you have something to ask me?"

Xu Chengling couldn't help but ask. He looked at the woman in white in front of him. There was a mysterious feeling about her that made him a little confused.

Moreover, the other party is Prince Jing's military advisor. She comes to see him every few days. Isn't she afraid that Prince Jing will suspect that she has defected to the enemy?

"Mr. Xu, is it convenient for you to get in the car? Yuyi has something very important to discuss with you."

Sun Yuyi invited him, her expression gradually becoming serious, as if she had something important to tell him.

"Sorry, Miss Yuyi, I'm in a hurry to go home for dinner, so maybe we can do it next time."

Although being invited into a car by a beautiful woman is a very romantic thing, this woman named Sun Yuyi is really unpredictable.
