That's Great

Xie Shang was too lazy to pay attention to the System. She closed her eyes and took a nap. After all, one must know that tonight's battle would be a difficult one, in which she would have to try to touch the Emperor's bottom line again and again.

Xie Shang slept until late in the evening, when she was woken up by Hongyu.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Fu asked a young eunuch to deliver a letter earlier, stating that His Majesty would be coming to accompany Your Highness for dinner later."

Xie Shang instantly woke up when she heard this. Her prey is here! That's great!

She turned over neatly and sat up. Hongyu stood by to wait on her, and Lanyu went to choose her clothes for the evening.

A thought came to Xie Shang as she remained seated on the side of the bed, and she told Hongyu to go and get the bronze mirror.

There's not a single woman who doesn't love beauty. Even though she wants to go back, that won't stop her from appreciating her own beauty.

Xie Shang took the mirror Hongyu brought. Although the bronze mirror was not very clear, Xie Shang could still make out what her facial features looked like.

This came as a pleasant surprise because this face resembles her in her previous life exactly, and the more Xie Shang looked at herself in the mirror, the happier she grew.

Although they seem to be identical, the skin of this body seems to be much better than it was in her previous life, when she used to stay up all night working and hence looked rather haggard.

On the other hand, the body she is inhabiting right now seems to have been carefully maintained, as even the skin is as smooth as milk cream.

On a small face the size of a palm, her bright, beautiful apricot eyes reflect her innocence. Her eyebrows are arched like willow leaves. And under the straight bridge of her nose, her lips are soft and delicate.

As Xie Shang ran her fingers over her skin, which was as tender as a newborn baby's, she became even happier. But when her hands reached the back of her head, all her happiness disappeared.

Xie Shang's eyes darkened when she thought of Liu Yushan, the Consort of Reverent Benignity, aka the person who killed the original owner. She swears to the original owner that she will not let her go easily.

Since she has already adopted her identity, she must clean up Liu Yushan for the original owner no matter what.

While considering it, Xie Shang stood up, as Lanyu came over with the clothes.

Xie Shang gave it a quick glance, but she didn't like it that much. "Change it. It's too plain. Choose bright colors."

Wearing vivid colors makes her look as dazzling as spring flowers in full bloom, whereas wearing neutral colors makes her appear lifeless.

Xie Shang's words made Hongyu and Lanyu raise their eyebrows in surprise.

"Didn't Your Highness say that His Majesty likes elegant clothes? Didn't you want to cater to His Majesty's taste?" Lanyu couldn't help but ask.

The Young Madam previously also liked to dress in bright and flamboyant clothes. But after learning that His Majesty preferred dignified and elegant women, the Young Madam changed her dressing style.

Why is she reverting back now?

The corners of Xie Shang's lips twitched as she listened to Lanyu's words. Since the Emperor likes elegant and dignified women, she should dress more vibrantly.

In this way, her points will increase even faster because he will feel irritated every time he sees her.

Xie Shang's mood got even better, but to maintain her ruse, she said half-heartedly "All right, you can go change it if you want to, but otherwise this is also just fine."

Hongyu said on cue, "Go and change. The Emperor will be coming here soon. Don't delay any longer." She could see that the Young Madam didn't really want to wear these plain colored clothes, so it's better to go along with what she really wants.

Lanyu nodded and immediately went to change them.

Xie Shang quickly put on the silk tulle skirt with the Pipa embroidered blouse that Lanyu chose this time. Once dressed, Xie Shang looked as bright and beautiful as spring flowers in full bloom.

"See, our Young Madam is so beautiful even without any makeup," the two maids in waiting couldn't help but exclaim.

Then they moved on to swiftly comb her hair and put on her jewelry.

After Xie Shang was ready, the two maids once again praised her, nodding at each other's comments.

"The Young Madam is really beautiful."

"Even the room shines because of her."

A woman in a palace maid's dress entered the bedroom and respectfully greeted Xie Shang before reporting,

"Your Highness, His Majesty will be here soon."
