After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won’t Leave Me Alone

  Chapter 18 Makeup

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

  Even the two foster nuns who came out of the palace praised her for her ability to concentrate, she was not surprised when things happened, and she was quite like a mistress.

   Shen Mingjiao was speechless for a moment. She wanted to pretend to be shy as a newlywed, but when she thought of the large storehouse full of silk treasures in Su Wang's mansion, and the back garden with pavilions and waterside pavilions waiting for her to show her talents, she could only be excited. I really can't hold back my shyness.

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

   Before the girl’s family gets married, there will indeed be acquaintances from her boudoir sisters who come to add makeup, but she has never gone out to socialize before, and naturally she doesn’t have any close boudoir friends, but she forgot about it.

  Shen Mingjiao greeted her at the gate of the courtyard, Cui Lingling came over, followed by two servant girls. Compared with the golden attire she wore at the palace banquet last time, today she is dressed in a much more simple and elegant manner.

  When Cui Lingling saw Shen Mingjiao, her eyes lit up, and she was about to trot over.

  The two maids behind them coughed lightly, Cui Lingling smiled, retracted her feet embarrassingly, moved forward in small steps with her belly in her chest and chest out, and she had to work hard to maintain her expression control.

  Shen Mingjiao caught sight of it and almost couldn't laugh out loud.

  Cui Lingling belongs to that kind of smart and cute girl. However, at this moment, she was dressed in a moon-white cross-collar gown and her hair was neatly tied up, making her a dignified lady, who was still nondescript.

  Shen Mingjiao stepped forward, grabbed Cui Lingling's hand, and said excitedly: "My good sister, why haven't you come to see my sister for so long! You don't know, my sister waits for you every day so hard!"

   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, why did the witch sister become like this? Is this easy to handle?

  Before she could figure it out, Shen Mingjiao dragged the person into the yard, "Let's go, come in and sit down, it's rare for my sister to come, we two must have a good time today."

  Seeing that Cui Lingling was about to be taken away, the two maids hurried forward: "Girl, madam told you..."

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

  Before the two of them could refuse, Haitang was forced to take away one by one.

  Seeing that the person disappeared, Cui Lingling let out a long sigh of relief, his shoulders slumped, and he leaned on the reclining chair in the courtyard without any image, and sighed contentedly: "It's so comfortable!"

   "You don't know how miserable I have been these days. Since the palace banquet that day, my mother has invited several strict nuns to educate me, and said that I should learn the rules from them, and don't humiliate the lintel of the Tong family."

  She sighed dejectedly: "But I think I am fine like this! Why does my mother insist that I become a wooden man with a toothless smile?"

  Shen Mingjiao corrected her: "Then she is obviously a lady of everyone, how come she is a wooden person?"

  Cui Lingling curled her lips: "What is a wooden person with a face all day long?"

  Shen Mingjiao touched her head lightly, but what she said was really heart-warming: "Because the Tong family is a scholarly family, they feel that you have lost their face because you have no rules. In a word, they look down on you very much."

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

  Shen Ming gave her a tender look, as if to say, how can you break your illusion of so-called kinship with the Tong family if you don't be so direct.

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

   "I came here today mainly to congratulate you on your upcoming wedding, and I specially prepared a makeup gift for you."

   After finishing speaking, she took out a big gold bracelet as thick as a thumb from her bosom.

  Shen Mingjiao twitched the corners of her mouth, this gift-giving style was indeed very cui lingling.

  Cui Lingling rolled her eyes: "This is not an ordinary bracelet." She pointed to a bulge on the inside: "If you are in danger, just press the button, and three poisonous needles will pop out from inside."

  Shen Mingjiao picked up the bracelet in amazement and looked at it carefully: "Is the poisonous needle very powerful?"

   "Of course, see the blood seal the throat." 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 to report that the girl from Ningyuan Hou's family had come.

  Shen Mingjiao was a little puzzled, when did she know the girl from Ningyuanhou Gu's family?

   I remember that Marquis Ningyuan lost his wife in his early years, and he only had a daughter under his knees, what was his name?

   While thinking, Gu Danxue walked in.

  Shen Mingjiao saw the visitor, although she was still puzzled, she still smiled and greeted her, and personally steamed a cup of tea for Gu Danxue, "My courtyard is simple, I don't know what kind of tea Miss Gu likes to drink?"

  Gu Danxue stood up hastily, took the cup awkwardly, "No...I'll come..."

  Shen Mingjiao has a different heart, the last time she was in the Pretty Pavilion, she felt that this girl was too inferior. But since she is the only daughter of Marquis Ningyuan, why shouldn't she be raised like this!

  But thinking about how private the Gaomen backyard has always been, it became clear.

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

  When Shen Mingjiaofu opened it, he saw a bright white inside, and at first glance, it seemed that there was brilliance flowing.

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

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

  If Jiangnan Yansha satin is more expensive than gold, then Liuyun brocade is truly priceless. Every year, only the empresses in the palace can get a few horses.

   "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, her expression becoming more and more cramped.

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

  People like her have not been recognized for a long time. If she refuses again, it will only make her feel inferior and even doubt herself.

   Forget it, the big deal is that when the other party gets married in the future, she will send a gift of similar value in return.

Seeing that it was almost lunch time, Shen Mingjiao ordered Haitang to go to Yipinju to set up a table and come back. Since the incident when she went back to Biezhuang last time, she and the Hou Mansion have completely fallen out, so it is natural not to expect a decent meal from the big kitchen. possible.

  However, the weather is too hot these days, and several people have no appetite. Cui Lingling only took a few mouthfuls and put it down.

   Seeing this, Shen Mingjiao pointed to a can of milky white liquid she asked Haitang to buy back, and said, "This is yogurt from northern Xinjiang."

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

   Not long after, Haitang got the required ingredients,

  Shen Mingjiao asked the two to help wash and cut the fruit into pieces, and Cui Lingling happily picked up the knife. Gu Danxue had never done this before, so she was a little embarrassed for a while. Shen Mingjiao asked her to wash the fruit and Cui Lingling to cut it.

  Gu Danxue is happy to participate in group activities.

  Shen Mingjiao took three maple-leaf-shaped plates, put the fruit inside, poured yogurt, stirred well, and sprinkled some cooked red beans. Place the plate on ice again.

  After a quarter of an hour, Shen Mingjiao took out the plate, and they watched the fresh fruit soaked in the white yogurt, dotted with red beans, and the cold air rushed towards them, making people twitch their index fingers.

  Cui Lingling tentatively tasted the grapes. The cold grapes popped in her mouth, and she immediately felt refreshed.

  …

   A few people played all afternoon. Before leaving, Cui Lingling was still a little reluctant, mainly because she had to learn the rules again after returning.

   Gu Danxue also rarely felt relaxed.

  It was the night before the wedding, the two nuns muttered in the room for a while, and finally, Nurse Feng entered Shen Mingjiao's bedroom holding a small box.

  Shen Mingjiao: "Mammy, what is this?"

  Nurse Feng coughed softly: "It stands to reason that before a girl's family gets married, there will be a mother teaching the 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 wants to say that she really doesn't need it, and she doesn't need it anyway.

  Nurse Feng has received professional training in this area. Speaking of these things is naturally the essence of every sentence. Let alone a girl's family, even women who have been married for many years will blush and heartbeat.

  Nurse Feng couldn't help but look at Shen Mingjiao, but she saw that instead of showing shyness, she rested her chin and listened with great interest.

  Nurse Feng: "..." This child is probably not enlightened yet.

  Shen Mingjiao was lying on the bed, casually flipping through the hardcover album that Nanny Feng had just given her. I was a little curious in my heart, I heard people say that this kind of thing is very comfortable, and it can also have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin.

  But unfortunately, she is destined not to feel it in this life. Although she and Feng Lisheng have no real name, but after all, she has a name, and she will not do anything to insult Su Wangfu.

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

  The two lived under the same roof for ten years in the previous life, and Feng Lisheng had never been interested in her, and he probably won't in this life.

  Recalling that a good friend of hers in her previous life once lamented that she was the top of the skin and bones, which is the so-called super stunner in the men's mouth.

  Shen Mingjiao just wanted to say, no matter how superb it is, it's useless, anyway, it's doomed to waste everything!

   Good night, we are getting married tomorrow.
