Chapter 20 I Made It Like This On Purpose

She seems to have put on makeup today?

The usually pale oval face now showed a touch of rouge powder, and there were small dimples on each of the round cheeks.

A well-proportioned figure of flesh and blood, curved willow eyebrows, and thin lips are as delicate as begonia petals.

Under the long eyelashes, there is a pair of clear and bright beautiful eyes, and the whole person exudes a youthful and pretty atmosphere.

Moreover, the woman's entire face is plump and translucent, shining in the sun!
Pei Xuanling frowned, his eyes fell on the woman's shiny face.

Chun Xing saw that the prince was stunned, and her aunt smiled at the corner of her mouth.

As I said a long time ago, if His Royal Highness sees the young master applying makeup, he will definitely be fascinated!

Seeing the crown prince staring at her, Jiang Shishi shyly looked away and looked at the corner of the carriage, "It's time to start, Your Highness, please get on the carriage."

Pei Xuanling gave a low "hmm", stepped into the carriage, and sat down on the main seat.

At the same time, the curtains were lowered.

Jiang Shishi was looking out through the car window when suddenly a handkerchief was handed to her.

She turned her head, the corners of her mouth raised politely, and she looked at the prince in surprise.

"Waiting here for a long time?" The man said in a low voice: "Look at your tan, your face is oily, wipe it off quickly."

Jiang Shishi petrified in place, and the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually disappeared.

Oil?
She had just washed her face, put on her makeup, and had just left the house not long ago. Where did the oil come from on her face?

Oh. She remembered.

Today she applied her own highlights on the bridge of the nose, cheekbones, browbones, and the peak of the upper lip.

The original owner has good facial features and skin, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't wear makeup in the East Palace.

But this body is weak after all, and his complexion is not very good, so he still needs to apply makeup to brighten his complexion when he goes out, even light makeup is fine.

"Oh!" Jiang Shishi gently pushed away the handkerchief handed over by the man, "My concubine's face is not oily, it's glossy, it's called high light, you men don't understand, they made it like this on purpose."

Made it like this on purpose?Pei Xuanling raised his eyebrows.

Don't say that there is no woman like her in the palace.

Even in the entire Eastern Liang Kingdom, no one has ever seen a woman with a face as bright as hers.

Jiang Shishi: "Is this concubine unattractive?"

Facing the woman's big innocent eyes, Pei Xuanling took a serious look at the woman, "It's okay, but don't make it like this in the future."

Jiang Shishi: "." Why does it sound so forced?

"But the concubine's complexion is too bad, it's not good not to wear makeup."

Pei Xuanling looked at the clear and agile woman, if her face was really not oily, it would be fine.

With makeup on, she did look much better than before.

So, the man gave a thoughtful "hmm", which means he agreed.

Jiang Shishi didn't intend to continue discussing makeup with the straight man, so she simply closed her eyes and rested her mind.

When she closed her eyes, the prince closed his eyes almost at the same time to rest his mind.

Then, the carriage suddenly fell into silence.

Immediately afterwards, the carriage began to drive slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped.

"Your Highness, Miss Jiang, we've arrived at the West Lake Wharf." Huang Dechang lifted the curtain of the car.

Pei Xuanling got out of the carriage first.

Jiang Shishi supported Chun Xing's men to get off the carriage.

At this time, the ministers of Wang Gong also dismounted one after another, or dismounted from the carriage.

Jiang Shishi looked around, and saw a luxurious and classic painting boat docked at the pier.

The painting boat is wide and has two floors.

At a glance, it is comparable to a cruise ship of later generations.

In appearance, it looks like a pavilion, with upturned eaves and corners, an exquisite and exquisite four-corner pavilion.

Looking from here, you can also see beautiful women leaning on the boat, coiling dragon pillars, and colored paintings.

The embossed dragons and auspicious clouds on the dragon pillar are intertwined with each other, and the layers are patchwork. The carvings are so fine that every scale on the dragon's body is countable.

The iconic elements of the ancient royal family are vividly reflected on the painted boat, adding a rich and gorgeous temperament to the whole boat.

Presumably this is the painting boat used by the royal family to entertain guests.

Just as Jiang Shishi guessed, when everyone arrived at the pier, they were arranged to enter this luxurious orange-red painting boat.

In addition to several small guest rooms, Huafang also has a front hall and a back hall.

Basically the men gather in the front hall and the women gather in the back hall.

It was the first time for Jiang Shishi to attend such an occasion, and since she was unfamiliar with the place, she found a corner seat to sit.

Because her figure did not meet the current standard of thinness as beauty, many female relatives cast strange eyes on her.

Those eyes seem to be saying: If you are so fat, you can be loved by men?
If others were treated differently, they might die.

But Jiang Shishi came from later generations. In her opinion, the most important thing to be a human being is health and happiness, and other people's opinions and ideas are of little importance to her.

Especially those distorted and wrong views and ideas, she doesn't take them to heart at all.

Jiang Shishi is optimistic, but some people like to make trouble.

"Hey, whose backyard is this? They're all fat like this. They don't match the slender beauty of our Eastern Liang Kingdom at all." It was "Prince Huai" who said this.

It was said in the book that Princess Huai was a flamboyant person and liked to bully the weak in order to demonstrate her rights as a princess.

Jiang Shishi had already received strange looks, but now Princess Huai brought her out to speak out in public, all the female relatives present all looked at her.

In those eyes, there are ridicule, contempt, and people who are watching the show in a neutral way.

Among the female relatives on the cruise ship today, only the sixth concubine and concubine Huai are the most distinguished.

The sixth concubine was seasick and went to the guest room to rest a long time ago, but now she only has the most honorable status as the concubine.

Therefore, even if someone present did not approve of what Princess Huai did, they would not offend Princess Huai because of irrelevant people.

Chun Xing was very angry, but she was only a court lady, so it was not easy to contradict the nobles present.

She just held her head high and said confidently: "My young master is Miss Jiang from the Eastern Palace!"

As soon as this remark came out, most of the people present did not believe it.

"How could it be a concubine of the Eastern Palace!" Princess Huai sneered, "Although my concubine has little contact with the backyard of the Eastern Palace, she has also been to the Eastern Palace with my lord a few times, but I have never heard of such a plump concubine in the Eastern Palace."

"As for Jiang Meiren, I have heard that she is an anorexic and skinny concubine, not like some plump and round people!"

At the beginning, people around were still scruples about Jiang Shishi's identity as a concubine in the East Palace.

Now that Princess Huai has come out to crack down on counterfeiting, they have no scruples and started talking about it.

"Let me just say, look at her ordinary clothes, how could she be a concubine of the Eastern Palace?"

"In my opinion, it must be the concubine of some military general's family. After all, those reckless men have relatively simple minds, as long as they have a good face."

"Then you can't marry such a fat man. If a woman can't even control her own figure, can she still be expected to be a housekeeper? Serve men?"

so and so
Originally, Jiang Shishi didn't understand why women in the dynasty paid attention to thinness as beauty.

Even in pursuit of extreme slenderness, sick to the point of suffering from anorexia, but also to maintain skinny beauty.

Now that she has personally experienced this kind of language violence and body discrimination, she seems to understand a little bit.

In fact, if her weight corresponds to her height, she is completely of a standard figure, at best she is slightly fat.

It's just that she is exercising, and her flesh is growing where it should be, which is all the more conspicuous.

I don't know why they are so malicious about a woman's weight?
Jiang Shishi was too lazy to argue with them, she just said to Chun Xing: "Chun Xing, since they don't believe that I am a concubine of the Eastern Palace, you invite Huang Dechang here."
