Chapter 8: Astonishing the World

An hour later...
"Miss, what should you wear today?"
An Nianli sat on her bed, wrapped in a towel, waiting for Yuanxiao to bring her clothes. But when Yuanxiao stood in front of her, holding a pile of clothes, An Nianli felt despair.
She once suspected that this world is a bit magical.
The clothes that Yuanxiao holds in her arms are either red or green, or blue or purple.
An Nianli looked at the pile of clothes from last year with a headache. She swears that it's really not her choice, but these clothes are really not pleasing to the eye.
"Lantern Festival, I don't have any elegant clothes, like chamomile yellow, light purple, pink, or even white would do."
"Well, there are, Miss, but you said if you wear these elegant clothes, it will attract the attention of the other ladies, and asked me to put them away."
Yuanxiao feels that the Miss today is very strange. It's like she suddenly became a different person, but she is sure that the person in front of her is her family's Miss. But why is her temperament so different before and after?
Moreover, this makeup and clothes were all selected by the young lady before. It is said that only by making oneself look uglier and more miserable can one survive.
"Yuexiao, the past is the past, now is now, show me those elegant clothes."
An Nianli couldn't help but have a headache when she saw these dazzling colors.
"But Miss, didn't you say that we need to hide ourselves?"
Yuanxiao stood aside and reminded An Nianli.
An Nianli felt for the first time that humans can be so verbose.
"That was in the past. Now your miss wants to show her sharpness. Can you please first find some clothes for your miss otherwise I will have to go on the street naked."
An Nianli raised an awkward yet polite smile at Yuan Xiao.
To be honest, she really had a bad temper and a bad personality. If it weren't for the fear of scaring this loyal servant girl, she felt like she would have slapped her awake.
"Oh, okay, okay. I will go now," said Yuanxiao.
Hearing An Nianli's words about being naked, Yuanxiao finally realized that she hadn't brought clothes for her mistress yet, so she hurriedly went to the side room to find clothes for her.
An Nianli looked at Yuexiao's headless and brainless appearance and couldn't help but touch her forehead.
"Miss, miss, how about this white dress?"
"Hmm, any of them is fine."
An Nianli didn't even look at the style of the clothes brought by Yuexiao. She didn't have any other demands now. She just hoped that the color of the clothes would be normal.
"Miss, Yuanxiao is here to dress you up."
"Wait! Xiaoxiao, go easy on me. Don't turn me into a monster or demon today, I just want to be an ordinary person."
Annian Li was about to start applying makeup for Lantern Festival. In a panic, she grabbed Yuen Siu's hand, unable to accept such bold red and green.
"Miss, what are you, what are you saying?" Yuen Siu looked at Annian Li in confusion, completely baffled by her actions.
"That's right, don't paint me with those flashy red and green makeup anymore. Just give me a simple and elegant look, otherwise it won't match my white outfit."
Yes, Miss.
Although Yuanxiao was puzzled, she didn't say much. After all, Miss is her Miss, and she should do whatever Miss says.
Half an hour later, An Nianli felt like she was about to fall asleep. How troublesome it was for ancient people to do their makeup.
"Yuanxiao, is it finished? If it's not done soon, your young lady will fall asleep."
"Okay, okay, miss, please take a look."
Hearing Yuanxiao's voice saying "Okay," Annien Li reluctantly opened her eyes.
In the mirror, Annien Li's hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, her phoenix-like eyebrows were expressive, her beautiful eyes were filled with affection, her straight and delicate nose, rosy cheeks, cherry-like lips exhaled a fragrant breath, her oval-shaped face was exceptionally captivating, and her delicate skin was as smooth as ice and snow, just like a water-emerging goddess.
This beauty can truly be called the most beautiful person.
"Wow, she's so beautiful."
An Nianli was truly shocked, she didn't know she was so beautiful. It's not an exaggeration to say she was amazed by her looks.
The yuanxiao on the side looked relatively calm in comparison.
She knew about the appearance of her young lady all along, but seeing her after completing her makeup, she couldn't help but be surprised. Perhaps it was because the young ladies she usually saw had an extremely... um... gorgeous appearance, so when the young lady suddenly regained such a heavenly appearance, not only was An Nianli, who had never seen her true face, amazed, but even she herself was stunned by the elegance of her young lady's features.
However, more than being worried, Yuanxiao is concerned. She is afraid that Miss's extraordinary beauty will attract the envy of the other young ladies in the General's Mansion, which could bring harm to Miss and would not be good.
"Miss, let Yuanxiao find a veil for you."
"Huh? Why do I need a veil?"
An Nianli was interrupted by Yuanxiao's suggestion of a veil while she was enjoying her heavenly beauty, and couldn't help but wonder why she needed a veil out of the blue.
"Of course, it's for the lady to wear, otherwise with such a beauty like the lady, it's unavoidable to attract unnecessary troubles."
"Am I sick?"
"Huh? No, did the lady get sick?"
"Hmm, as long as you know I'm not sick, there's no need to wear a face mask. I'm so beautiful, aren't I? Isn't it for the purpose of attracting attention? If you cover me up, how can I attract attention?"
An Nianli looked at Yuanxiao with a puzzled expression. What a joke, she is now so beautiful, of course she wants to attract all the handsome men in the world with this appearance.
Thinking that she has lived for twenty-six years in the twenty-first century, but has never had a man, it must be so regretful.
But fortunately, she now has better external conditions. If she doesn't handle it properly, she would be letting down this body.
Still thinking of using a veil to cover up? That's impossible.
"Miss..." Yuanxiao frowned as she listened to An Nianli's bold words.
She once suspected that her young lady at home had been replaced without her knowledge, but she had been by her side from when the young lady fell into the water and passed out until she woke up. How did the young lady become like this after waking up?
Did the lady hit her head when she fell into the water?
"Oh, Lantern Festival, life is short, don't live without joy."
"Come on, Miss will take you out and have fun."
An Nianli doesn't care about Yuanxiao's expression at this moment, and pulls Yuanxiao to leave.
