In the study.
Luo Qingzhou was wearing a Confucian robe and sitting at the table, reading aloud: "A gentleman is cautious when alone and does not deceive others in secret. He is humble and self-disciplined, and can be chaste and virtuous..."
Xiaodie sat in the corridor, embroidering flowers quietly.
In the small courtyard, the sun is shining and the fragrance of flowers is floating.
Lingchan Moon Palace.
After Xia Chan ran back in a daze, Bailing kept chasing her and asking her questions.
She ignored him and went to the back garden.
In the pavilion.
Miss Qin was wearing a white dress and was sitting there quietly reading a book.
Xia Chan walked into the pavilion and hesitated for a long time. Then, with a red face, she stammered out what he had just said to her.
Qin Jianjia listened silently, slowly turning the pages of the book in her hand.
Outside the pavilion, the autumn wind blows and the fallen leaves rustle.
It was noon.
In the small courtyard of the Exiled Immortal Residence, when Luo Qingzhou was eating the food that Xiaodie brought back from the kitchen, there was a knock on the door.
Before Xiaodie could open the door, the courtyard gate had already been pushed open from the outside.
Nangong Meijiao was wearing a black dress, her long straight legs were wrapped in black silk stockings from the Hundred Flowers Country, and a black leather whip was wrapped around her slender waist. She walked in tall and beautifully, and urged with a cold and arrogant face: "Luo Qingzhou, it's time to set off."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, ignored her, and continued to eat with his head down.
Xiaodie quickly went to the room and brought out a chair, and said respectfully: "Princess, please sit for a while, the young master is still eating."
Nangong Meijiao glanced at the chair in front of her and asked with some disdain, "Has Luo Qingzhou sat on it before?"
Xiaodie opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.
Luo Qingzhou raised his head and said, "Of course I have sat on it. Not only sat on it, but I also stood on it and lay down on it. The princess is of noble status and is wearing luxurious clothes. She can't just sit on such a lowly and dirty chair. Keep standing. I want to eat for a while longer."
Nangong Meijiao glared at him and said, "Luo Qingzhou, what is your attitude towards this princess?"
Then he sneered, "Why, are you angry that I'm going to go out with you to find your friend later? Are you feeling guilty about something?"
Luo Qingzhou continued to eat with his head down and ignored her.
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly and ignored him. She walked around the yard with her long legs, looking everywhere.
Xiaodie stood nearby, looking anxious.
Nangong Meijiao wandered around boredly for a while, and suddenly walked to the clothesline and stared at the clothes hanging on the rope.
There were two bellybands, two pairs of stockings, and Luo Qingzhou's underwear hanging on it.
Xiaodie blushed and wanted to stop it, but she didn't dare.
Luo Qingzhou looked up and frowned, "Princess, please don't look at it. It's someone else's underwear. Please don't look at it too much."
Nangong Meijiao ignored him and stretched out two fingers to pinch one of the bellybands. After observing it for a while, she turned to look at Xiaodie and asked, "Did you design this bellyband?"
Xiaodie blushed and said, "Yeah."
Nangong Meijiao frowned and said, "Why is there only a thin string tied in the middle? What if the string accidentally breaks or gets pulled when I wear it?"
Xiaodie couldn't answer and looked at her master.
According to the young master, this bellyband is designed to be easy to untie when sleeping. He said that this makes it more interesting and will definitely be liked by many women and men.
Of course, she didn't dare say these words out loud.
"Also, why is this undergarment transparent? If I wear it, wouldn't it be the same as if I were not wearing anything?"
Nangong Meijiao continued to ask with a frown.
Then he shook his head and said seriously, "You can't do this. If you open a clothing store in the future, you must not design it like this. No one will buy this kind of clothes, and it will definitely not sell. A woman with a little bit of decency and honor will not wear this kind of underwear."
Xiaodie lowered her head, her face flushed, and she dared not say a word.
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but ask, "Princess, don't you see me sitting here? You are a noble lady, but you are talking about women's underwear in front of a man. Do you know what is propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame?"
Nangong Meijiao turned her head, glanced at him and said, "I'm sorry, this princess really doesn't treat you as a man. Just continue eating your meal and pretend that you are deaf and can't hear what this princess is saying."
Luo Qingzhou paused, put down his chopsticks, and said coldly: "Since the princess does not regard me as a man, I can discuss this undergarment with the princess. May I ask, princess, do women in the world wear these clothes for themselves?"
Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly: "If I'm not wearing it for myself, then am I wearing it for you?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I wonder if the princess has ever heard of this saying, 'Women dress up to please themselves.' Most women dress up not to look good for themselves, but to please others. What do you think?"
Nangong Meijiao paused and sneered, "I don't know where you heard these twisted ideas. This princess wears clothes just for herself to see, so what?"
Luo Qingzhou asked, "When the princess is not going out, will she dress like this at home? Will she dress like this when she sleeps at night? Will she dress up carefully every time she goes out to meet guests, go out to play, or meet friends? Whether it is men or women, they dress differently at home and outside. You can wear whatever you want at home, but outside, you naturally have to dress more solemnly and beautifully, firstly to leave a good impression on others, and secondly to respect others. Princess, think about it carefully, isn't this the truth?"
After listening to this, Nangong Meijiao paused and snorted coldly, "Are outerwear and underwear the same? I admit that outerwear is indeed as you said, but women's underwear is naturally only worn for themselves, not for others to see."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "What the princess said is indeed very right, but the princess's perspective is not entirely right. The princess is unmarried, just a girl who has not left the house, so it is natural for her to say this. Then the princess should think about it. If a woman gets married, should she try her best to please her husband? Even if she does not need to please him, for the sake of harmony between husband and wife, should she pay more attention to her appearance? If a couple sleeps together for a long time and always dresses the same, both sides will naturally get bored. But if one day, the wife dresses a little... a little more attractive, will the husband's eyes suddenly light up? Maybe the husband no longer wants to have anything to do with his wife, but is suddenly interested in his wife's dress, then, will the relationship between the couple suddenly become better? If the wife is like this, those concubines who try their best to please their men will naturally want to dress more attractively, otherwise they will fall out of favor."
"Princess, in fact, the palace maids and concubines will like this dress more. You should know why, right?"
After hearing this, Nangong Meijiao immediately cursed with a cold face: "Luo Qingzhou, you are vulgar!"
Luo Qingzhou looked innocent and said, "I was just discussing the sale of clothes with the princess. When we sell things, we must find a good position and think from many aspects. The princess said that no one would buy such clothes, but I am sure that someone would buy them, and there would be many people who would buy them. Not only married women would buy them, but if they are comfortable to wear, unmarried women would also buy them."
At this point, he glanced at the stockings wrapped around her beautiful legs and said, "Just like the black stockings on the princess' legs, although many people may not accept them at first, if they are comfortable and beautiful to wear, they will naturally attract everyone's attention and favor. What did the princess think when she first saw the stockings? Did she think they were too thin and too bold? Then she saw more and more women on the street wearing them and they looked very beautiful, so she was curious and secretly bought a pair one day. She tried them on secretly and suddenly found that they were too comfortable and beautiful to wear, so she slowly accepted them?"
“You… you’re obscene!”
Nangong Meijiao was speechless after hearing what he said. She was so angry and embarrassed that she could only curse out this sentence again.
Then she pulled down her skirt and said angrily, "Don't look!"
Luo Qingzhou retracted his gaze and continued to talk: "Princess, in fact, in addition to the underwear, bellybands, stockings, etc. in front of you, we can also make some more beautiful and attractive outerwear and even shoes according to some special customers. For example, off-shoulder dresses, chest-length dresses, backless dresses, leg-revealing skirts, navel-revealing dresses, toe-revealing shoes, toe-revealing shoes with heels, toe-revealing shoes tied with thin strings, toe-revealing shoes embroidered with flowers, toe-revealing shoes inlaid with gems, toe-revealing shoes with golden luster..."
"Sir, stop talking..."
Xiaodie, who was standing by, blushed with shame and hurriedly reminded him in a low voice, feeling ashamed and embarrassed for him.
The son is completely exposed...
Not only did it reveal that the shameful undergarments were the idea of the young master, it also revealed his special fetish, so much exposure, so many feet in one sentence...
Nangong Meijiao looked at him with disdain and said, "Luo Qingzhou, among the shoes you thought of, apart from shoes that expose your feet, are there any that don't expose your feet?"
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Nangong Meijiao sneered, "It seems that the so-called Xiaodie's design skills are all to deceive people. It turns out that these obscene things are all yours. No wonder, I was puzzled. Xiaodie never goes out of the house, and she is a simple little girl. How could she come up with such shameful clothes? It turns out... it's all you!"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Princess, these ideas of mine are also from books. They are all thought out by others. I just copied them and used them. It's none of my business."
Nangong Meijiao said sarcastically, "Which book? The illustrations of jade feet?"
"How come... what illustration? What jade feet? What is the princess talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Luo Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat.
Nangong Meijiao stared at him for a while with a sneer on his face, and said, "Let's go, is it time to go meet your good friend?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the sun in the sky and said, "Princess, the sun is very strong at this time. Your skin is so fair, it will not look good if it gets tanned. It is better for you to rest at home and go talk to the second young lady. I will go out by myself."
Nangong Meijiao raised her hand, grasped the whip handle at her waist, looked at him coldly and said, "Luo Qingzhou, let me ask you one more question, are you going to leave or not?"
"Walk."
Luo Qingzhou immediately walked towards the door and clenched his hands which were tucked into his sleeves.
"My Lord, how about we make a bet?"
After leaving the house, Luo Qingzhou suddenly turned around and said.
Nangong Meijiao asked coldly: "What bet?"
Luo Qingzhou said, "I think that kind of clothes will definitely sell well. Princess, you think it won't sell, right?"
Nangong Meijiao paused and snorted, "It can't be sold in the first place. No shameless woman would buy it."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Princess, if we sell it by then, and it sells well, can you agree to one of my requests? If it really can't be sold, then I will agree to one of your requests, how about that? Do you dare to bet?"
Nangong Meijiao narrowed her eyes, stared at him for a while, and said, "Any request is fine, right?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Yes, as long as the princess can think of it, as long as I lose, I will agree to it, no matter what the request is. Conversely, I also hope that the princess can agree to my request."
Nangong Meijiao stopped and looked at him coldly, "What is your request?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "I can't tell you now. I will tell you after the winner is announced, okay? But you can rest assured, I will never ask you to do anything illegal or criminal, and it won't be too difficult."
Nangong Meijiao stared at him for a few more times, then suddenly raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Okay, that's settled. Luo Qingzhou, if you lose, don't blame me for not giving Wei Mo face."
Luo Qingzhou stretched out his hand and said, "Princess, to reassure both parties, let's high-five and swear an oath, okay?"
Nangong Meijiao glanced at his hand, hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand and said, "Okay."
“Bang!”
The two men slapped their palms together.
Nangong Meijiao's heart skipped a beat, her cheeks slightly heated up, and she immediately said coldly: "You swear first."
