Kiyomi Tsuki et son renard

Chapitre 19

She suddenly looked up and stared intently at Tian Shuang. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind and gradually took shape.

From childhood to adulthood, Tian Shuang and she were inseparable. They were similar in age and height, and knew each other's habits well. That's why he could impersonate her so perfectly.

From a young age, she was playful. Once, her mother took her to Huguo Temple to offer incense. While her mother was listening to the Zen chanting, she sneaked out to the backyard of Huguo Temple, where she met a master by chance. The master was not a monk, but just staying at Huguo Temple. He took a liking to her and taught her face-changing and voice-changing techniques. At the time, she just thought it was fun and studied it seriously. It wasn't until later that she learned that this skill was a famous art of disguise in the martial arts world.

After that, she frequently sneaked out of the mansion, but fearing discovery by her parents and others, she forced Tian Shuang to impersonate her at home. At first, fearing discovery, Tian Shuang hid in her room and dared not come out, always coming and going in a hurry, not daring to linger. Later, as her disguise skills improved, she kept Tian Shuang disguised as her at home, making it virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Even her family couldn't tell the difference. With each instance, Tian Shuang's impersonation became increasingly convincing, almost indistinguishable from the real thing, so she became increasingly brazen.

If even close friends and family can't recognize someone, then Minglu certainly won't either.

She suddenly smiled, as if the uncertainty she had felt moments before had vanished in an instant. She said, "That's fine then. This may not be bad news. Tian Shuang, just pretend to be me and proceed according to plan."

"Miss, is this... really okay?"

Xi Ri seemed confident and composed at this moment, saying, "Actually, this is the best way."

Tian Shuang and Tian Yong could only nod.

Tian Yong went downstairs to prepare.

Tian Shuang changed her clothes and put on the mask Xi Ri had made. The two stood together, and it was difficult to tell the real from the fake, but upon closer inspection, there were still differences. Because of her martial arts training, Tian Shuang was agile and moved with more grace, while Xi Ri was graceful and had a more charming demeanor.

Just then, there were some voices in the courtyard outside the building; it must have been the steward sending someone to inform them. Sure enough, a moment later, Tian Yong came up to report: "Miss, the steward has brought Prince Ming here."

"Alright, I understand. Tell the steward not to come in. Say it's my order to keep out any unauthorized personnel from disturbing my private time with Prince Ming."

"Yes." Tian Yong withdrew.

Xi Ri smiled at Tian Shuang and said, "Tian Shuang, it's all up to you now. My happiness for the rest of my life is in your hands."

Looking at her mistress's playful expression, Tian Shuang suddenly felt a bit amused and exasperated. Her mistress had always been mischievous and playful since she was a child, but no one knew it. Every time she did something bad, she was always the one who was least affected. Even the master and the deceased madam believed that she was a beautiful, intelligent, gentle, and considerate girl. They had no idea how shocking the things her mistress had done were. Sometimes, she felt a chill when she thought about it.

I remember there was a time when there were flower thieves in the capital. I heard that many good girls in the capital had been violated. When the young lady found out, she got really excited. She actually hired a young man on the street to pretend to be a woman and seduce the flower thieves. The young lady dressed the young man up to be as beautiful as a flower and as stunning as a queen. At that time, it happened to be the time when the brothels in the capital were selecting the most beautiful courtesan. The young man became the most beautiful courtesan as soon as he appeared at the Wan Hua Lou. Tian Yong personally handled this matter. Tian Shuang wanted to laugh when she thought of the dumbfounded look on Tian Yong's face when he first saw the young man.

Seeing Tian Shuang smile, Xi Ri laughed and said, "Hmm... Tian Shuang, you have a great attitude, you're not nervous at all!"

Tian Shuang's thoughts were interrupted. Looking at her mistress, all the worries she had felt suddenly disappeared. She curtsied and said, "Miss, this is not the first time for me. Although the other party is Prince Ming, please rest assured that this time, for your happiness, I will do my utmost."

A gentle smile on the passing day.

Tian Shuang bowed slightly and went downstairs.

I used to secretly watch the scene below from a corner on the second floor.

The butler, probably afraid of disturbing their meeting, stayed outside the courtyard, and Tian Yong didn't come in either.

Xi Ri thought to herself: "Prince Ming, once you step into this courtyard, you will know what the most beautiful woman in the capital truly is!"

In the courtyard, to welcome the arrival of Prince Ming, the servants had already filled the place with chrysanthemums, but there were only two colors. The flowerpots were full and combined to form a character, a character that would startle anyone who looked at it.

He grinned on a past day.

As soon as Minglu stepped into the courtyard, he was slightly taken aback when he saw the word.

As he slightly raised his head, he saw a woman standing amidst the myriad flowers, her colorful dress billowing in the wind. The flowers on the green stems on the ground swayed in the breeze, like a dance, beautiful and dazzling. The woman's back was straight and upright, holding a scroll in her hand. She stood among the myriad flowers, seemingly engrossed in what she was looking at. A gust of wind suddenly rose, ruffling the sea of flowers.

I once witnessed Minglu's shock and amazement at that moment, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed but unable to conceal it.

Xi Ri waited patiently, waiting for the amazement in Ming Lu's eyes to be completely destroyed in the next moment, falling hard from the highest point of expectation, and then being ruthlessly trampled by her!

Not long after, the wind suddenly stopped, the woman's clothes fell off and no longer fluttered in the wind, the sea of flowers disappeared, and everything came to a standstill.

Suddenly, a row of servants wearing tree branches on their heads and covered with leaves appeared from the corner of the wall and collapsed to the ground, lamenting, "Miss, I can't go on anymore. I've been fanning for hours, and I can't fan anymore."

The young lady in the floral dress jumped out of the flowerpot and shouted, "You bunch of useless idiots! Prince Ming hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already failing? Humph, get out of here!"

Xi Ri clearly saw Ming Lu frown slightly, his gaze turning cold, but he still didn't say a word.

“You useless men are no match for my Prince Ming…” Tian Shuang traced the canvas in his hand with his fingers, seemingly with great affection.

"Oh... my Lulu, when are you coming? I miss you so much."

That cry was so mesmerizing that even Tian Xiri felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but admire Tian Shuang's acting skills. There was a reason why she didn't act in this play but let Tian Shuang do it, and this was one of the reasons.

Tian Shuang stared intently at the canvas when suddenly, one drop, two drops… her saliva dripped onto the canvas…

Looking at Minglu again, his mouth opened slightly uncontrollably... because at this moment he saw the person on the canvas, who was himself standing among the peach blossoms.

As for the saliva that fell onto the canvas, Tian Shuang used her finger to trace the lips of the person in the canvas.

Minglu's expression changed drastically.

At this moment, Tian Shuang seemed to realize something and suddenly turned her head to meet Ming Lu's gaze.

From infatuation to confusion, to sudden enlightenment, to madness, I was truly impressed by Tian Shuang's acting skills.

Tian Shuang's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. Suddenly, she turned around, spread her wide, colorful sleeves, and flew towards Ming Lu, calling out, "Lulu..."

Minglu was clearly startled, not with the joy of seeing the most beautiful woman in the capital, but with the terror of seeing a madwoman.

A butterfly-like figure rushed towards him, and he quickly took a few steps back.

But Tian Shuang knew some martial arts and was agile. In a few big steps, she pounced on Ming Lu, almost knocking him to the ground.

Seeing Minglu, who was usually calm, now trying to push away the woman clinging to him with disbelief and panic, Xiri's smile widened. She heard Tian Shuang's exaggerated voice: "My Lulu, I've finally waited for you! You don't know, this morning when I heard you were coming, I was so excited I almost fainted! Look, I spent all morning picking out this dress. How do I look? Am I beautiful? Do I have a good figure?"

I remember seeing Tian Shuang spit on Ming Lu's face. Ming Lu pitifully dodged, wiping the spit off his face with one sleeve.

This situation...
