Stunning

  "But how can this be me?" Xia Xie Xi stared in disbelief, her eyes wide with wonder. She suddenly sat up and leaned closer to the mirror, taking a closer look at herself. The face was even more beautiful up close, and the light makeup accentuated her stunning features. She felt a little flustered all of a sudden, she shouldn't be this beautiful!

  "Miss, even if you don't believe us, shouldn't you at least trust your own eyes?" The palace maids were very understanding of her emotions. They hadn't forgotten the way she looked when the prince first brought her back - sloppy and unkempt. It was likely that she had never worn such beautiful clothes or makeup before in her life, so it was no wonder she was shocked by her new appearance.

  "Alright, alright, it's about time. The prince must be waiting anxiously outside. Quickly help the young lady put on her shoes and take her out!" Minister Shim Sang-gong glanced at the time and urged hastily, as they couldn't afford to delay any further. The prince was waiting outside, and the Emperor and Empress were also waiting for them in the Imperial Palace to have dinner together!

  The palace maidens immediately found a pair of crystal high-heeled shoes that matched the evening dress perfectly from the shoe rack, and before Xia Xie could react, they were directly put on her feet. The heel was as thick as eight centimeters, which was terrifying for someone who had never worn high heels before!

  "Your Highness, everything is ready!" Min Shanggong had already opened the door and was speaking to the young man who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

  Upon hearing this, Feng Jin stood up, but still couldn't help frowning, "Why is it so slow?"

  He had never experienced waiting for a woman to dress up before, this was the first time. Even if it were his mother, it would be his father who waited, and he wouldn't need to. He wondered what that woman would look like after being tormented by them for so long.

  He didn't have much expectation at first, but when he saw that almost completely unfamiliar stunning face, his heart skipped a beat, and even his breathing stagnated for a moment!

  Good heavens, is this still the same slovenly and foul-mouthed man from before? This is completely like two different people! Could makeup really have such a magical effect of transforming the rotten into the divine?

  In fact, the palace maid thought Xia Xixi's face was originally very beautiful, and she just applied a light makeup to her, then styled her hair into curls, using crystal hairpins to hold it back, leaving two long strands hanging down in front of her chest, revealing her white neck. A crystal necklace was worn around her neck, and there were also matching wristlets on her wrists.

  Unfortunately, Xia Xie didn't have pierced ears and couldn't wear the beautiful crystal earrings, which was a small regret, but it didn't affect her beauty at all.

  On weekdays, when Feng Jin saw her, she was almost always wearing a duck-tongued hat, loose-fitting clothes that made it hard to tell her gender, and a pair of large, black-framed glasses with thick lenses. Add to that her explosive temper and foul mouth, and her image had become nothing but a fleeting cloud. Now, rarely seeing her like this, he was truly shocked for a moment!

  She's so beautiful! Nothing else comes to mind but this thought.

  Seeing him staring at her straightly, Xia Xiyu originally wanted to scold loudly, "What are you looking at? What's so interesting about me?"

  But seeing his fervent eyes, she actually tensed up and lowered her head, not daring to say a word. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of her own reflection in the large floor mirror beside her, revealing a shoulder-baring evening gown, really... too revealing! Was it really okay to go out like this?

  "Since it's fine, let's hurry up and go!" Feng Jin Yu was only stunned for a moment before quickly regaining her composure, making an effort to cover up her previous loss of poise, saying calmly.

  Well, let's go then. Anyway, she's a bit hungry too. We're going to have dinner, so let's hurry up and eat!

  She sprang up, took a step forward, but couldn't adapt to the high heels on her feet. Her ankle twisted and she fell forward...
