At the Wei family inn,
After Princess Pingyang took up residence, the entire inn was staffed by maidservants. The former waiters and managers temporarily stepped aside.
After all, Princess Pingyang’s status was noble, and having men around was inappropriate, especially since Fei Yue’er was about to display very private items.
“Princess Consort of Qi, what secret things are you going to show us?” someone asked.
Pingyang had just finished washing and looked relaxed, having slept until the sun reached the treetops—such was the comfort of the bed.
The noblewomen had gathered downstairs, just like Pingyang, all eyes fixed on Fei Yue’er, waiting for her to reveal her female products.
Fei Yue’er was a bit nervous but recalled Xiao Ming’s words. She took a deep breath and said, “Aunt, what I’m going to show you today is called underwear. I’m sure everyone often wears bellybands and undergarments.”
Fei Yue’er’s words made many noblewomen blush. She had mentioned something very shameful; who normally spoke openly about intimate clothing?
“These things are essential for us women,” Princess Pingyang said boldly, more frank than the others.
Partly it was Pingyang’s nature, partly she wanted to support Fei Yue’er.
Fei Yue’er had invited her by letter, which definitely wasn’t just her idea—Xiao Ming was surely behind it.
Thus, Pingyang felt she should support Fei Yue’er and keep the atmosphere pleasant. It was a kind gesture.
Gratefully looking at Pingyang, Fei Yue’er feared these noblewomen might resent her since this topic was quite embarrassing.
Pingyang’s words calmed them. Recalling what they spoke last night, Fei Yue’er said loudly, “Today I’ll show you a kind of clothing that makes women more comfortable, fits closely, and also makes us more attractive.”
Afterward, she looked toward the stage and gently clapped her hands.
At her signal, thirty singing girls appeared on stage wearing underwear of different colors and styles.
At that moment, everyone, including Princess Pingyang, was stunned by the peculiar appearance of these singing girls.
“Heavens! What is this?” someone exclaimed.
“Hehe, those in front really look like steamed buns,” someone teased.
“This visit to Qingzhou really broadened my horizons. I didn’t expect the Princess Consort of Qi to be so different, actually bringing out such female handiwork.”
“…”
Princess Pingyang stared steadily at the girls modeling the intimate garments on stage. Suddenly she said, “Don’t you think these girls look beautiful in those clothes?”
The noblewomen were initially shocked by the novelty but upon closer look found the singing girls had a certain charm.
One noblewoman said, “Since the princess said so, I think the clothes are really good. They look quite alluring on these girls.”
“Pah! How can you say such vulgar things in front of the princess and the consort?” another noblewoman scolded, though she clearly agreed.
After all, their own clothes were more revealing than these.
Their words sparked laughter among the noblewomen, who pointed at the girls on stage, chatting and judging which clothes looked best.
Pingyang was used to such behavior. She said to Fei Yue’er, “Princess Consort of Qi, tell us why you made these close-fitting garments.”
Fei Yue’er was prepared and expected these reactions. Now that only women remained, she spoke frankly, “Aunt, these garments the singing girls wear are called bras. Their main function is to prevent sagging.”
“Sagging? What sagging?” Pingyang repeated, then realized and glared at Fei Yue’er. “Girl, everyone knows you’re talented, but how do you know this actually prevents that?”
Fei Yue’er said seriously, “Aunt, this is not nonsense but based on facts.”
She called a singing girl forward and took off her bra, pointing at her chest. “Your Highness, please look.”
Pingyang was stunned. When the girl came down, she seemed well-endowed, but after the bra was removed, Pingyang laughed.
As Fei Yue’er said, the bra indeed made the girl’s chest firm and perky.
“I didn’t expect bras to have this effect,” Pingyang laughed.
Fei Yue’er smiled slightly and explained what she learned from books: “Aunt, girls begin developing around thirteen or fourteen years old. At this time, it’s easy for…”
Recalling the book’s contents, Fei Yue’er spoke fluently. The noblewomen, who had been joking, now felt she was very convincing. She described the age and physical changes clearly.
They initially thought Fei Yue’er brought out these items just to make money. After listening, they realized she truly cared about women in Great Yu.
“Also, wearing this means we don’t have to fear riding horses or falling down. Simply put, we can run and jump like men without being exposed,” Fei Yue’er summarized. “During that time of the month, we can insert silk fabric inside, and the panties ensure nothing falls out, so no blood stains remain.”
At that moment, all the noblewomen showed eager expressions. Fei Yue’er was right. They thought about it and agreed.
One noblewoman immediately said, “Princess Consort, can I try it on?”
“Of course,” Fei Yue’er smiled. She felt she had persuaded them, even Princess Pingyang looked very interested.
Fei Yue’er picked up a new set of underwear and had the singing girls help the noblewoman put it on.
This noblewoman thought her figure was poor. After putting on the new clothes and then her original clothes, the others exclaimed, “Hey, how did yours get bigger?”
Everyone looked and indeed, the noblewoman’s flat chest became perky with the bra on.
“I want to try too.”
Seeing this, other noblewomen quickly asked to try as well.
