Chapter 343 Makeup, it's okay to look younger
"Nianran, stop talking nonsense in front of the princess." Chen Shuhua was worried that Shen Nianran would get into trouble. How could she possibly get into trouble when she was only a dozen years old? What would she do if she couldn't do it later? So she spoke up in advance to stop him.
"Seriously." Yao Qingnian ignored their doubts and said with certainty.
"In that case, then you give it a try." The eldest princess softened her expression. Seeing how confident she was, she also became interested.
"No! Princess..." Chen Shuhua wanted to say something else.
"It's okay, Shuhua. I think this girl is full of confidence. She doesn't seem to be trying to trick you or me. Come on."
"Don't worry, Mom." Yao Qingnian gave her a reassuring look.
Chen Shuhua couldn't persuade the two of them, so she could only nod and agree, but she still looked at them with some worry. She had already thought it through. If Nianran couldn't do it later, she would ask the princess for help.
Yao Qingnian asked them to wait for a moment, went into the space to get a set of cosmetics, returned to the yard, and began to put makeup on the eldest princess. Seeing her take out these strange bottles and jars, the eldest princess and Chen Shuhua were a little curious.
"Girl, what is this? It looks a bit like rouge." The eldest princess couldn't help but ask.
"Princess, this is rouge, which is also known as cosmetics. It's a little different from what you usually use." Yao Qingnian first cleaned the princess's face with a wet wipe, and then continued to introduce: "Look, this is water, lotion, and essence. Using it before putting on makeup can protect our skin very well, and it will not easily cause makeup to stick or come off when you put on makeup later. Look, just apply it on your face, doesn't it feel fresh and clean?" She first did pre-makeup skin care for the princess, and only started the formal makeup after it was thoroughly absorbed.
"Where did you get this thing? My face feels so moisturized after using it, and it feels instantly smoother." The eldest princess felt that her face was as moisturized and elastic as if it had drunk enough water.
"Princess, this was developed by my master. It is perfect for daily skin care." While talking to the princess, her hands did not stop moving, especially when it came to concealing the scars, which took her quite a while.
Chen Shuhua watched and listened carefully from the side, and her feelings went from worry at first to shock, and now to disbelief.
The scar on the eldest princess' face was slowly disappearing under Yao Qingnian's hands, and was replaced by a beautiful face.
Yao Qingnian still had some confidence. The eldest princess had a good facial foundation, and apart from the scars, other parts of her face only needed slight touch-ups to look good.
About half an hour later, the princess felt that she was about to fall asleep, and Yao Qingnian stopped what she was doing: "Princess, it's done."
"Is it okay now?" The eldest princess only felt that this girl had been fiddling with these so-called cosmetics on her face for a long time, and she didn't know what her face looked like now.
"Princess, your face..." Chen Shuhua was so surprised that she forgot the proper etiquette.
"Quick, bring me a mirror." She was also very curious.
The servants beside them looked up at the princess, then quickly lowered their heads. What did they see? Was the princess's face healed?
Soon, a maidservant and a woman brought a bronze mirror. Looking at herself in the mirror, the princess was a little surprised. Is this herself? Why does she feel that she doesn't look like her at all? And where is the scar on her face? How did it disappear?
"Is the scar on my face healed?" She touched the original location of the scar.
"Princess, no, I just used concealer to cover it up." Yao Qingnian answered truthfully.
Chen Shuhua's eyes widened as she watched, and her heart finally settled down. At first, she thought Nianran was joking, but she didn't expect it to be true. She couldn't help but praise him, "He really looks ten years younger!"
The eldest princess nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I feel like I'm back to my youth. My face was like this back then, smooth and without any marks." She was so happy that she asked her servants to reward Yao Qingnian with a lot of things.
The banquet was about to begin, and the princess asked her maid to take them there first. On the way, Chen Shuhua had not yet recovered from her shock: "Nianran, your cosmetics are amazing."
"Mom, what's the big deal? If you want, I can do it for you every day." Yao Qingnian said with a grin.
"That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that this thing is so good that it will bring you trouble."
"You will feel more at ease now, mother. Even if someone wants to steal this thing, it's useless because they don't know how to use it. Makeup requires skills and it's not something you can learn easily. Besides, I just think that the eldest princess is straightforward and is your good friend, so I helped her to put on makeup. If other people wanted to ask me to do it, I would still have to think twice!" Yao Qingnian reassured her.
"It's always a good idea to be careful about everything. Let's keep a low profile at today's banquet." Chen Shuhua put aside her worries and smiled kindly.
"Mom, I understand." The two followed the maid's footsteps and walked towards the banquet hall.
The maid sent her to the banquet hall and left. As soon as Chen Shuhua arrived at the banquet hall, a familiar sister pulled her over to sit down. Yao Qingnian had just arrived in the capital and didn't have anyone she knew. She looked around and saw that they were all unfamiliar ladies and young ladies. She was not interested in such socializing, so she said goodbye to Chen Shuhua, and, using the excuse of being in a hurry, found a quiet pavilion to sit in and wait for the banquet to begin.
Taking advantage of this moment, she took out the bottle of scar removal cream that Shen Youran gave her and studied it carefully. After a long while, she smiled coldly. This was not a scar removal cream, but a poison that would cause facial rot. She was not sure about the scar removal effect of the ingredients in it, but if used on the face, it would definitely cause facial ulceration and pus. Even this ointment dared to be given to her to give to the eldest princess. Shen Youran simply wanted to kill her.
There were plenty of scar removal creams in Yao Qingnian's space. She poured out the ointment in Shen Youran's jar, dealt with it, took out a jar of beautifying cream she had developed and replaced it in the original jar, then wandered around for a while as if nothing had happened.
Just as she was about to meet up with Chen Shuhua, she ran into an old acquaintance, Gu Jialing, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Behind her were two or three other daughters of similar age. It was a rare opportunity to run into enemies. She was considering whether to take another route. After all, this was the eldest princess's banquet, and it was better to have less trouble than more.
"Hey! Isn't this Miss Shen from the Shangshu Mansion?" Before she could do anything, she was stopped by Gu Jialing.
