Chapter 949 Holding Hands for One Lifetime
Xiao Jingyu was also changing his clothes.
He traded his flowing, luxurious brocade robe for a simple, plain outfit.
A human skin mask concealed his unparalleled brilliance!
The eldest son, Fu Mingjun, and the third son, Fu Mingxiu, sat to the side watching Xiao Jingyu change his clothes skillfully.
The two brothers had originally intended to help, but seeing Xiao Jingyu's skillful face-swapping technique... well, they decided to just sit and watch!
While watching, I also pretended to feel sorry for the disappearance of that handsome face.
It's not surprising that Xiao Jingyu possesses such skillful and sophisticated face-swapping techniques.
Whether it's the several trips between the capital and Ruoxu Peak each year, or simply walking around the capital, disguise and changing clothes will save a lot of trouble.
After all, Xiao Jingyu's face is fatally attractive to both ladies from noble families and girls from humble backgrounds!
Instead of going through the trouble of dodging, it's much easier and less effort to just change your face.
Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Xiao Jingyu carefully examined his attire.
Then I thought, Yue'er must have changed her clothes by now. What would Yue'er look like with her new clothes?
She must have thought of what the Third Young Master Fu Mingxiu had just said about an old married couple; even though her face was covered by a human skin mask, the upturned corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed.
At the same time, an indescribable sweetness welled up in my heart.
When Xiao Jingyu and the brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu returned to the flower hall, there was an elderly, unfamiliar woman there.
Seeing the old lady Xue dressed in fine clothes, holding a woman who looked about the same age as the old lady Xue in her arms, dressed in a plain gray cloth, with a face full of old age and vicissitudes, the incongruity made the three of them freeze on the spot.
The third young master, Fu Mingxiu, stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, and pointed at Leng Rongyue after she had changed her clothes. He was stunned for a long time before he finally spoke, "You are Yue'er."
My goodness!
"Moon, you...you...your outfit is...absolutely stunning!"
"You are extremely rude, young man!"
To not greet or pay respects to an elder is bad enough, but to point at them like that is utterly outrageous!
Leng Rongyue straightened up from Madam Xue's embrace, put on a stern face, and began to lecture her.
"Pfft...hahaha..."
The third young master, Fu Mingxiu, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The Duke of Anguo and his son, along with Madam Xue and her daughter-in-law, who were sitting at the table, couldn't help but laugh.
"Good...good...Moon'er's outfit is absolutely stunning!"
If I hadn't known beforehand... even if I were walking down the street and we met face-to-face, even if it were Yue'er standing right in front of me, I wouldn't have recognized her!
The eldest son, Fu Mingjun, nodded in agreement.
"Yes, with this disguise, no one will recognize Yue'er anymore!"
Xiao Jingyu didn't say anything, but just stared intently at Leng Rongyue...
Looking at Leng Rongyue's current appearance, and then looking down at his own attire, the corners of his lips curled up again... Hmm, it really is true, at this moment, he and Yue'er really do look like an old married couple!
Everyone stopped laughing, looked at the two of them again, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong.
The sound of drums announcing the time could be heard from afar.
"Alright, it's getting late, Yue'er, Your Highness Prince Yu, it's time for you to head out!"
We must be extra careful on this trip, proceed with caution, avoid revealing ourselves, and refrain from alerting the enemy.
Always remember, safety comes first!
Duke Anguo, Fu Peng, gave earnest instructions.
"Yes, Grandpa, don't worry, Yue'er has remembered!"
Leng Rongyue nodded in agreement.
Xiao Jingyu also spoke up to assure them, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, and all elders, Jingyu will definitely protect Yue'er and ensure her safety!"
"Your Highness Prince Yu, I thank you for your trouble!"
Be careful in everything you do, and come back soon!
Duke Anguo, Fu Peng, cupped his hands in greeting to Xiao Jingyu.
"Yes!"
Xiao Jingyu bowed in return.
"Don't worry, Grandma!"
Leng Rongyue squeezed Old Madam Xue's hand and walked to Xiao Jingyu's side.
The Duke of Anguo and his family simply looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar couple before them and said nothing more.
Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu exchanged a glance, bowed deeply to everyone, and walked out side by side.
The Kingdom of Jingyue can now be considered a time of peace and prosperity.
There was no curfew in the capital; the city gates were simply closed at a set time, and people inside the city could still move freely.
The night was quiet and there were few people on the street; those who had homes had already gone home.
Travelers and merchants had already checked into shops and inns early on.
The streets were no longer bustling with daytime noise; only the lanterns hanging outside the shops and houses along the street emitted a faint light, which still illuminated the streets of the city.
Every now and then, soldiers from the Five Cities Garrison would patrol the streets of the capital.
Just then, a patrol team of soldiers came along the street from afar.
On the other side, an elderly couple walked by, holding hands.
The old man was tall, but somewhat hunched over, unlike the upright posture of a young man.
The old woman, on the other hand, was slender and graceful, but the years had left clear marks on her face.
The elderly couple walked hand in hand, taking their time.
Beneath the human skin mask lay Xiao Jingyu's outrageously handsome face, the corners of his mouth now upturned in a cheerful smile.
The old woman beside her... uh... Leng Rongyue, looking at Xiao Jingyu's ordinary face and then at their clasped hands, had a hint of helplessness in her eyes, but also a hint of a smile.
