Chapter 332 Helping the Princess Wash Her Face
Jiang Ziyan left the capital.
They went off to pursue their own futures.
His future lay not in the capital, but in Jiangzhou.
Two years later, in the year of the Rooster, he will participate in the provincial examination held every three years.
That is, the autumn imperial examination.
So he didn't have much time left.
But this time, without the Qi family interfering, he was actually quite confident.
Leaving the capital, the person he would miss the most was his younger sister. The little one had never been away from him since she was little, and he was afraid that she would cry her eyes out like she did when he saw off her older brother last time.
He couldn't bear to see his sister cry.
So before dawn, before my younger sister woke up, I pulled her out of the blanket.
They were hugging and embracing.
Because the next time we meet, my little sister will be a grown woman, and I won't be able to hug her anymore.
Hug them as much as possible while they're still little.
Jiang Miaomiao, still half asleep, leaned against her second brother's chest, listening to his rambling.
It's like a little monk chanting scriptures, going on and on.
A little annoying.
She didn't listen to anything.
I was just too sleepy.
She drifted off to sleep again, nestled in her second brother's arms.
Open your eyes again.
She was actually sleeping on Princess Yuqing's bed, lying next to the great beauty, her feet resting on her slender waist.
So beautiful, so fair-skinned, with a slim waist and long legs.
Unlike her mother's beauty, which was heroic and spirited, the princess was like a delicate and flawless porcelain doll.
Jiang Miaomiao thought she was dreaming until she saw Xi'er and Granny Feng guarding her bedside, and then she was sure she wasn't dreaming.
But the sun is already high in the sky, why is the princess still sleeping?
She asked Xi'er, "Where are Mother and Second Brother?"
She was quite certain that she had been sleeping at home at first, but how did she end up in the princess's residence when she woke up?
"She went to the Lu family." Xi'er was always loyal to her young master, so the madam and Yan-ge'er would never tell her anything.
He simply instructed them to take good care of the girl.
However, Jiang Miaomiao nodded, indicating that she understood.
My aunts are going to hold a flower-viewing banquet to help my cousins find partners, and it seems my mother is going to help out.
She tugged at the princess's hand, but she didn't wake up.
They nudged the princess again, but she still didn't wake up. Princess Yuqing was sleeping very soundly.
I never expected that the princess also loves to sleep in. The two of them are really birds of a feather. No wonder they can play together.
"Princess, wake up."
"Princess, the sun is shining on your bottom."
"Princess, there's a fire..."
The little girl lay down beside Sleeping Beauty and called out to her several times in a low voice.
The princess didn't even open her eyes. He reached out and rubbed her little face, then turned over and went back to sleep.
After being a night owl all night, I was naturally sleepy, so I hugged my daughter and went back to sleep.
Before getting married, there were all sorts of rules in the palace, but after opening her own residence outside, she felt much more relaxed and at ease.
Little Jiang Miaomiao was a bit bored.
She had previously thought that princesses didn't wear makeup on a daily basis, but that wasn't the case.
In ancient times, women, especially noblewomen, would groom themselves and do their makeup every morning.
Even now, my mother applies light makeup.
At that time, women liked to use face powder, but that stuff contained lead, so she resolutely refused to let her mother use it, and only allowed her to use rice flour.
But rice flour isn't good either; it doesn't adhere as well as cornstarch.
So the little girl set her sights on the princess's rouge and face powder.
Princesses are so precious, their belongings must all be specially made.
Upon inspection, it was indeed true. Granny Feng said it was made from a mixture of motherwort, clam powder, rouge powder, and other ingredients. The face powder was heavy, and the master never used that stuff.
After listening to Granny Feng's explanation of the complex craftsmanship, Jiang Miaomiao knew that this was Princess Yuqing's privately customized powder, which could not be bought anywhere else.
Looking at the sleeping beauty who was sleeping soundly, she suddenly had a reckless spirit.
Perhaps the princess will wake up to a big surprise.
That way, she could ask the princess for some rouge and face powder for her mother.
Jiang Miaomiao climbed off the bed, then slid up onto a stool, and rummaged around in front of the dressing mirror, finding a powder box, eyebrow pencil, rouge, and other cosmetic items.
Then he took these things back to the princess and applied them to her face.
Granny Feng: ...
He wanted to step forward to stop them, but as soon as he took a step, he pulled his foot back.
One is a princess.
One was a princess who was the princess's most beloved daughter.
If we don't stop the princess, she'll be unhappy; if we do stop her, the young princess will be unhappy.
If the young princess is unhappy, the princess will also be unhappy.
So she quietly left.
Out of sight out of mind.
Jiang Miaomiao turned her head and found that only she and Xi'er were left in the room.
After fiddling around for a while and only doing half of Princess Yuqing's makeup, she began to regret it.
She overestimated her makeup skills.
Ancient cosmetics are completely different from modern ones. With Xi'er's help, the foundation was applied evenly.
Fortunately, the princess has good skin, so a thin layer of makeup powder is enough, but it looks like she's not wearing any at all.
Then came the eyebrow drawing part, which she's quite good at.
Kexi'er said that Princess Yuqing usually draws her eyebrows in black ink.
Dark eyebrows?
Okay, naturally, black eyebrows should be drawn with a brush.
The little girl was very interested.
You can take a look once it's finished.
Ugh! It's so ugly!
Perhaps my hands are too small or inexperienced, and they tremble a little.
Those eyebrows.
They look like two caterpillars.
"Girl, maybe we shouldn't paint anymore?" Xi'er asked, her brows furrowed in worry.
She stared intently at Princess Yuqing, afraid that the princess might suddenly wake up if she opened her eyes.
Jiang Miaomiao looked at her masterpiece, her heart pounding.
Feeling somewhat guilty, he said to Xi'er, "How about... we wash it?"
At this time, cosmetics are not waterproof. They can be washed off with water, rice water, or sesame oil.
The main problem was that it was unbearable to look at; she felt like she had given the princess a disfiguring makeover.
The princess will probably beat her up when she wakes up.
Although the princess never hit her, she never even gave her the cold shoulder.
But her mother was like that for the first two years too; she never lost her temper with her, let alone hit her.
But later...
Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.
A woman's heart is truly unfathomable; you can never guess what she's thinking.
Jiang Miaomiao took a handkerchief and carefully wiped the princess's face.
She takes responsibility for her actions and won't implicate others.
Princess Yuqing felt a cool sensation on her face.
The moment they opened their eyes, their eyes met.
I noticed the little guy's somewhat panicked eyes, and he was holding a handkerchief in his hand.
She rolled over, chuckled, and pinched her daughter's cheek. "What are you doing? What mischief have you been up to behind my back?"
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
"Wash...wash your face, Princess Auntie, I'm washing your face for you, look how messy it is." The little girl lied with a straight face.
Princess Yuqing sat up.
They noticed the servants' strange expressions and immediately knelt down.
Granny Feng had quietly placed the bronze mirror in front of her.
"what……"
"Who did this to my face...?"
……
