Chapter 758 – Cross-dressing Master
As soon as Jiang Pengji stepped into the backyard, Hui Jun had already been waiting by the door for quite some time.
With a gentle and poised smile on her face, she knelt and offered her respects.
“Young Master, you’ve worked hard. Was today’s court session smooth?”
Hui Jun stood up, reaching out to take the official hat and tablet Jiang Pengji had removed, her gaze soft like a clear spring water.
Although her makeup may have reduced her looks by fifty percent, her gentle and virtuous aura still stirred the hearts of the audience.
【Guo Jia is not a state】：I truly envy ancient men! No wonder they love to be embraced from both sides; coming home from work to gentle consolation from their beautiful wives is enough to wash away all the day’s worries… By the way, I’m a girl.
【Xun Yu is not Gou Huo】：Hey there, you could earn money to support your family and let your boyfriend stay at home to manage the household!
【Jia Xu is not Jia Yu】：I second Lord Xun’s proposal.
The audience had all seen Hui Jun’s true appearance, and to put it bluntly, her looks could easily overshadow a host of celebrities.
Just by looks alone, she was truly a goddess that was hard to rival. Based on the audience’s comments, Hui Jun’s face had become a cosmetic template for many in the entertainment industry, with stars imitating her, demonstrating just how exceptional her beauty was.
“There were a few hiccups along the way, but it was mostly smooth sailing.”
Hui Jun paused for a moment, bowing her head and asking, “Why must Young Master reveal his identity at this time?”
Jiang Pengji explained, “Now, this opportunity has little power, enough to draw opposition from across the realm, but not so little that I can be bullied at will. If I wait until my strength grows, revealing my true identity then would only cause the enemy to band together against me.”
Hui Jun’s expression darkened, her fingers absently twirling her sleeves.
“I feel ashamed, unable to continue assisting Young Master.”
Jiang Pengji chuckled, ruffling her hair.
“You lived too harshly in your past life; just enjoy your blessings in this one. I will handle these matters well, you don’t need to sacrifice any further.”
Using a beauty gambit was merely a stopgap, and it was a fair trade between Jiang Pengji and Hui Jun.
With the transaction settled, she couldn’t push Hui Jun back into danger.
“If you find it boring, once we return to Wanzhou, I’ll assign you some tasks to keep you busy so you don’t have to do the chores of a maidservant all day.”
Hui Jun smiled teasingly, “Serving Young Master is already a great blessing. This task was retrieved from the maidservants around you.”
“I had no idea I was this in demand.”
Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes secretly, feeling a little self-mocking.
“There’s a lot you don’t know, Young Master.” Hui Jun kept a distance of one step behind Jiang Pengji, “By the way, since you have revealed your true identity, shouldn’t your attire be adjusted? It wouldn’t be right to appear in men’s clothing all the time…”
“Oh, prepare a few sets of women’s clothing, simple and plain will do.”
Regardless of men’s or women’s clothing, Jiang Pengji had no particular preference, as long as it was convenient for movement.
Hui Jun had already made preparations, bringing out a tray with two sets of women’s clothing stacked neatly.
“I made these during my free time. Please try them on, and see if they fit!”
As soon as Jiang Pengji saw the style and size of the clothes, she realized they were specially made for her by Hui Jun.
“Alright.”
Fortunately, the difference between male and female clothing in ancient times wasn’t that vast. Jiang Pengji had no problem adjusting to the women’s tunic on her first try.
She unwrapped the thick white cloth binding her chest, liberating her long-suppressed curves, taking a deep breath as if the air around her had freshened up.
Jiang Pengji glanced down, muttering, “Restoring my identity at this time seems wise… Otherwise, I might just suffocate one day…”
Thanks to body optimization, Liu Xi’s slender frame had grown quite well; not only was she tall, but her curves were also developing nicely.
Hui Jun was well-prepared, having even gotten a chest cover among other intimate items.
Jiang Pengji pinched her newly relaxed curves, realizing it might be time to tinker with some undergarments; after all, she shouldn’t deprive herself.
Before long, Jiang Pengji was dressed and ready.
“It feels a bit strange…”
She tugged at the sleeves of her tunic; the ensemble was a lovely bluish-green. It didn’t seem overly vibrant, yet it also didn’t appear too matronly.
But still, there was always a hint of this ‘cross-dressing master’ vibe.
Seeing Jiang Pengji’s outfit, Hui Jun, who had been waiting outside, burst into laughter.
“Young Master, you haven’t changed your hairstyle yet!”
With a men’s hairstyle and wearing women’s clothes, it was clearly awkward.
Having been in this world for so many years, Jiang Pengji could only tie her hair into a ponytail, so she needed someone else to help with her hairdo.
Hui Jun didn’t give her an elaborate or complicated style; instead, she chose the simplest ‘hanging cloud hairstyle,’ without excessive hairpins or adornments. There were no tortoiseshell hair sticks or decorative pieces, not even a single ornament.
“It’s too plain! Even the maidservants serving Young Master wear one or two plain silver hairpins…”
As Hui Jun spoke, she lifted her hand to help Jiang Pengji groom her eyebrows, softening them a little to give a gentler look.
Jiang Pengji closed her eyes, allowing Hui Jun to fuss over her face.
“However, Young Master wouldn’t suit any fancy decorations. You are different from those who dwell on their appearances.”
Hui Jun intended to pick a pair of pearl earrings for Jiang Pengji, but was left helpless when she realized Jiang Pengji didn’t have pierced ears.
When Jiang Pengji opened her eyes and looked at the spirited girl in the mirror, she couldn’t help but smile, finally shaking off that ‘cross-dressing master’ feeling.
“Your lips are a bit pale; adding a little blush will help… That should do.”
Jiang Pengji opened her live stream, and fifteen thousand viewers flooded in, and then—
【Mei Er Niang】：Where’s the streamer? Where did she go?
【Diao Ling Cheng Chen】：Something’s wrong! The streamer is missing!
The audience instinctively searched for the familiar youthful figure, only to be stunned to find the streamer’s presence absent from the live stream screen.
【Huan Zi Xing Chen Zhuì】：Wait— that girl next to Hui Jun… Could it be the streamer?
Everyone stared intently at Jiang Pengji’s face, and sure enough, it was her familiar visage.
【Mo Lingyin】：After following the stream for so long, I finally get to see the streamer in women’s clothing. I have no regrets for life now.
【Hou Shan Qian Shui】：I thought I would see a version of the streamer that looked like a combat Barbie, but she actually looks quite beautiful.
Jiang Pengji didn’t have a feminine appearance but was rather androgynous. Dressed in women’s clothing and with a hairdo, no one would mistake her for a man.
In an instant, the entire live stream chat transformed into a flurry of shocked exclamation marks and terrified emoticons.
A twitch from the corner of Jiang Pengji’s eye held back the urge to abruptly shut down the stream.
“Hui Jun, do you think I’ll scare people looking like this?”
Hui Jun covered her mouth with a light smile, “Young Master, dressed in men’s clothing, you’re carefree and debonair; in women’s clothing, you exude an aura of heroism—there’s no way you would scare anyone!”
Jiang Pengji replied, “Maybe not…”
