Long Live the Empress

Chapter 189: Peaceful Gift (2)

eldest princess mansion

"Your Highness, Miss Yue Jing of the Yue Mansion wishes to see you!"

The eldest princess was dressing up, and she was shocked when she heard the report. Yue Jing had a bad reputation, how dare she come? Besides, the winter banquet was held in the palace, so why did she come to the princess's mansion...

"Come in!" said the eldest princess as she casually picked out the jewelry.

"Your humble servant Yue Jing has met Her Royal Highness the Princess. May Her Royal Highness remain young forever!"

When the princess heard this gentle voice, she looked over and couldn't look away...

The person who came had a face as rosy as a peach, beautiful eyes, a smile on the corner of her mouth, and was wearing a moon-white Ruyi cloud-smoke skirt and a cloak with pinched flowers...

The eldest daughter of the Yue Mansion is actually a peerless beauty? Why is it different from what the prince said?

"Who are you?" the princess asked again.

"Replying to the Princess, I am Yue Jing, the daughter of the Yue family."

"Get flat..."

"Thank you, Your Highness, the Princess. Please forgive me for bothering you so early. There is a winter banquet in the palace today. I think the Emperor relies on the Princess and the Princess's mansion must be busy, so I have come here specially with the maids to help Your Highness with her dressing." Yue Jinghao lowered her posture and said while bowing.

"Oh? Get up, what kind of makeup can you do?" The eldest princess didn't expect that Yue Jinghao was here to help with her makeup. She is a princess, what hasn't she seen?

Yue Jinghao saw that the eldest princess was wearing a bright red Yunyan fine brocade dress today, and her hair was in a fairy bun...

"Your Highness is a beauty of national beauty, and this plum blossom makeup shows it off to the fullest!" Listen, it's not that she becomes beautiful after putting on makeup, but because the eldest princess is beautiful, the makeup looks good.

"Look at this sweet little mouth!" There is no woman who doesn't love her own appearance. When the eldest princess heard someone praising her, she smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

"I have brought something and would like to present it to Your Highness!" Cong Yue Jinghao presented an exquisite porcelain bottle with both hands.

The princess opened it and smelled it, then asked, "What is this? It smells really good!"

"This is the tankou that I spent a month making for Your Highness!"

"Dankou?"

"Yes! Let me ask my maid to try it."

The princess winked at the maid behind her, and the maid stepped forward. Yue Jinghao evenly applied Dankou on the maid's nails with a flat wolf-hair brush. The bright luster and vivid colors were something the princess had never seen before. After drying, the maid put her hand in front of the princess, who touched it and found that the color did not fade at all!

"Hurry! Apply it on me!" No woman can resist such temptation, especially those in high positions!

Yue Jinghao knelt on the ground and applied the makeup carefully. After an incense stick of time, the eldest princess looked at her fingers, which looked even whiter and more slender after applying the bright red nail polish, and she was so satisfied that she couldn't close her mouth.

"Okay, okay." The eldest princess took out a golden phoenix hairpin from the jewelry box and put it on Yue Jinghao's head.

Yue Jinghao quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. This is what I should do. How can I deserve your reward?"

"Hey, I'm happy. I'm very satisfied with this bottle of Dankou you made for me. I'm giving it to you as a reward. Just take it!" This time, the eldest princess actually helped Yue Jinghao up personally. Yue Jinghao was so frightened that she even said she didn't dare.

"Look at the eldest daughter of the Yue family. Not only is she outstanding in appearance, but she is also well-educated!" Nanny Gui beside the eldest princess said with a smile.

These words touched the eldest princess' heart, and she was very satisfied with Yue Jing.

Yue Jinghao helped the princess get dressed while she said, "There is only one bottle of this bright red Dankou in the world. I will make another bottle of peach pink when I return home. Your Highness will look more elegant when you use it next spring."

"Oh? Only one bottle?" The eldest princess looked at Yue Jinghao in surprise.

"This is a very complicated process. I have made more than a hundred bottles, but this is the only one I can use."

"It's really hard for you to be so kind." The princess held Yue Jinghao's hand, and suddenly saw the back of her injured hand and said, "What's wrong with this hand?"

"I accidentally spilled the soup in the bowl..."

"No, Your Highness, the Princess, the eldest lady has been working day and night to develop this Dankou. She was so tired that day that she knocked over the stove and burned her hand. But the eldest lady just applied the medicine casually and continued to develop. She said she wanted to give Your Highness the best..." Agate said while wiping her tears.

"Manju, don't be rude in front of His Highness!" Yue Jinghao scolded lightly.

Agate pouted in grievance and stopped talking.
