After rebirth, the cold prince clings to me every day

Chapter 18 Adding makeup

There are still three days left before Prince Su's wedding, and Shen Mingjiao, the bride-to-be, still needs to eat and drink, and she doesn't feel nervous at all.

Even the two nuns who came out of the palace praised her for her good concentration, her calmness when encountering difficulties, and her demeanor as a mistress.

Shen Mingjiao was left speechless for a moment. She wanted to pretend to be shy as a newlywed, but when she thought of the large warehouse filled with silk treasures in Prince Su's Mansion, and the back garden of the pavilion and water pavilion waiting for her to show off her talents, she

I'm just excited. I really can't contain my shyness.

Haitang came in and said that the girl from Tongge's hometown came to add makeup to her. Shen Mingjiao was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was talking about Cui Lingling.

Before the girl got married, there would indeed be familiar sisters coming over to add makeup, but she had never gone out to socialize before, and naturally she had no close friends, so she had forgotten about this.

Shen Mingjiao went to the courtyard gate to greet her. Cui Lingling came over, followed closely by two maids. Compared with the golden outfit she wore at the palace banquet last time, she was dressed much more elegantly today.

As soon as Cui Lingling saw Shen Mingjiao, her eyes lit up and she ran over.

The two maids behind him coughed slightly, Cui Lingling smiled, retracted her feet, tightened her abdomen and raised her chest, and moved forward in small steps, trying hard to maintain her expression.

Shen Mingjiao almost laughed out loud when she saw him.

Cui Lingling belongs to that kind of smart and cute girl. However, at this moment, wearing a moon-white collared gown and her hair tightly tied, she has transformed into a dignified lady, but she is still nondescript.

Shen Mingjiao stepped forward, held Cui Lingling's hand, and said excitedly: "Good sister, why haven't you come to see me for so long! You don't know how hard it is for me to wait for you every day!"

Cui Lingling stared at the exaggerated face in front of her in puzzlement, thinking that she hadn't seen her for more than a month, how did the demon sister become like this? Could it be that the person in front of her had changed her appearance?

Before she could figure it out, Shen Mingjiao dragged her into the courtyard, "Let's go and sit in the house. It's rare for my sister to come here. We must have a good time today."

Seeing that Cui Lingling was about to be taken away, the two maids stepped forward anxiously: "Miss, Madam has told me..."

Shen Mingjiao seemed to have noticed the two of them now. She motioned to Haitang: "My sister and I have a lot to talk about. Haitang, please take the two girls to the garden."

Before the two could refuse, Haitang forced them away one by one.

Seeing that the person was gone, Cui Lingling breathed a sigh of relief, her shoulders slumped, and she leaned on the lounge chair in the courtyard without any image, and let out a satisfied sigh: "It's so comfortable!"

"You don't know how miserable I've been these days. Since the palace banquet that day, my mother has invited several strict nuns to teach me, telling me to learn the rules from them and not to disgrace the Tong family."

She sighed in frustration: "But I think I'm pretty good like this! Why does my mother have to make me turn into a wooden person who can't smile without showing my teeth?"

Shen Mingjiao corrected her: "Then she is obviously a lady, how can she become a wooden person?"

Cui Lingling curled her lips and said: "What is a person who has a face all day long but is not a wooden person?"

Shen Mingjiao touched her head gently, but what she said was really heart-breaking: "Because the Tong family is a scholarly family, they feel that your lack of rules has brought shame to them. In short, they look down on you very much."

Cui Lingling: "..." We can't put it more tactfully!

Shen Ming gave her a tender look, as if to say, how can you break your illusion of the Tong family's so-called family affection if you don't do it so directly.

Cui Lingling: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

"The main reason I came here today is to congratulate you on your upcoming wedding, and I also specially prepared a makeup gift for you."

After saying that, she took out a large gold bracelet as thick as her thumb from her arms.

Shen Mingjiao twitched the corner of her mouth, her gift-giving style was indeed very Cui Lingling.

Cui Lingling rolled her eyes: "This is no ordinary bracelet." She pointed to a bulge on the inside: "If you are in danger, just press the bracelet and three poisonous needles will pop out."

When Shen Mingjiao heard this, she picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully: "Is the poison needle very powerful?"

"Of course, I will seal my throat at the sight of blood." Cui Lingling's tone was inexplicably proud.

Shen Mingjiao didn't ask where she got this thing and happily accepted it.

This is something that can save your life at a critical moment, and it is much more valuable than those gold and silver jewelry.

At this time, a maid came over to report that a girl from Ningyuan Hou's family was here.

Shen Mingjiao was a little confused. When did she meet the girl from the Gu family of Marquis Ning Yuan?

I remember that Marquis Ningyuan lost his wife in his early years and had a daughter at his knees. What was his name?

While thinking, Gu Danxue walked in.

When Shen Mingjiao saw the person coming, although she was still confused, she still smiled and came forward to greet her, steaming a cup of tea for Gu Danxue with her own hands, "My courtyard is simple, I wonder what kind of tea Miss Gu likes to drink?"

Gu Danxue stood up in a hurry and took the cup awkwardly, "No...I'll do it..."

Shen Mingjiao felt different. The last time she was in Beautiful Pavilion, she felt that this girl had too low self-esteem. But since she is the only daughter of Marquis Ning Yuan, why shouldn't she be raised like this!

But when I think about how private Gaomen's backyard has always been, it becomes clear.

Gu Danxue took the wooden box from the maid's hand and handed it to Shen Mingjiao. She blushed and whispered: "...This is a makeup gift for Miss Shen."

When Shen Ming Jiaofu opened it, he saw a bright white light inside. At first glance, it seemed as if there was light flowing.

Cui Lingling also came over curiously, "What a beautiful fabric!"

Shen Mingjiao pushed the wooden box back, "Miss Gu, I accept your sincerity, but this gift is too precious and I cannot accept it."

If Jiangnan smoked sand satin is more expensive than gold, Liuyun brocade is truly priceless. Only the empresses in the palace can get a few pieces every year.

"No, it's useless for me to keep this thing. It's just right to give it to Miss Shen!"

Gu Danxue pushed the wooden box back and looked at her carefully, looking increasingly embarrassed.

Shen Mingjiao couldn't help but sigh secretly when she saw that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. Finally, she accepted the gift with a smile.

A person with her personality has not been recognized for a long time. If she refuses again, it will only make her feel even more inferior and even self-doubt.

Forget it, at worst, when the other party gets married, she will give him a return gift of similar value.

Seeing that lunch time was approaching, Shen Mingjiao ordered Haitang to go to Yipinju to settle down for a table. After the incident at the Villa, she and the Hou family had completely fallen out, so it was natural not to expect the big kitchen to deliver a decent meal.

possible.

However, the weather was too hot these days, and few of them had much appetite. Cui Lingling only took a few bites and then gave up.

Seeing this, Shen Mingjiao pointed to the jar of milky white liquid she asked Haitang to buy and said, "This is the yogurt from Northern Xinjiang."

She asked Haitang to find ice cubes, and then asked several people to tell them their favorite fruits.

Not long after, Haitang got the needed ingredients.

Shen Mingjiao asked the two of them to help wash the fruit and cut it into pieces. Cui Lingling picked up the knife enthusiastically. Gu Danxue had never done this before and was a little embarrassed for a moment. Shen Mingjiao asked her to wash the fruit and Cui Lingling was responsible for cutting it.

Gu Danxue was happy to participate in group activities.

Shen Mingjiao took three maple leaf-shaped plates, placed the fruits in them, poured yogurt over them, stirred them evenly, and sprinkled some cooked red beans on them. Then she put the plates in the ice.

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Mingjiao took out the plate. They looked at the fresh fruits soaked in white yogurt and dotted with red beans. The slightest hint of coolness came towards them, making people couldn't help but twitch their index fingers.

Cui Lingling took a tentative taste of the grapes. The cold grapes popped in her mouth, and she suddenly felt refreshed.

…

They played together all afternoon, and before leaving, Cui Lingling was still a little reluctant to leave, mainly because she had to start learning the rules again after returning.

Gu Danxue also rarely felt relaxed.

The night before the wedding, the two mothers murmured in the room for a while, and finally Mother Feng entered Shen Mingjiao's bedroom holding a small box.

Shen Mingjiao: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Aunt Feng coughed lightly: "It stands to reason that before a girl gets married, her mother will teach her husband and wife about bed curtains, but Mrs. Shen Er passed away early, and the mistress of the house..."

Shen Mingjiao instantly guessed what Nanny Feng was going to say. But she wanted to say that she really didn't need it, and she wouldn't need it anyway.

Aunt Feng has received professional training in this field, so when she talks about these things, she speaks the essence of them. Not to mention the girl’s family, even a woman who has been married for many years will blush after hearing this.

Grandma Feng couldn't help but look at Shen Mingjiao, but she saw that instead of being shy, she was holding her chin up and listening with great interest.

Aunt Feng: "..." I'm afraid this child hasn't figured it out yet.

Shen Mingjiao was lying on the bed, flipping through the hardcover album that Grandma Feng had just given her. She was a little curious because she heard that it was very comfortable and could also have a beautifying effect.

But it's a pity that she is destined to never feel it again in this life. Although she and Feng Lisheng are in name only, they have their status after all, and she will not do anything to disgrace Prince Su's palace.

As for Feng Lisheng, the only one with a legitimate reputation, forget it.

The two of them had been living under the same roof for ten years in their previous life, and Feng Lisheng had never had any interest in her, and he probably wouldn't in this life either.

Recalling that a friend of hers in her previous life once lamented that she was the best in skin and bone, which is what men call a top-notch beauty.

Shen Mingjiao just wanted to say that it is useless no matter how good it is, it is destined to be a waste anyway!

? ? Good night, the wedding is tomorrow.
