Chapter 577: Chapter 293 Gift_3

This image, no matter how you look at it, does not resemble a princess, yet she is indeed a princess in the prime of her beauty.

Qian Yixiu explained, "The princess’s health has been getting weaker, which may be related to too much concern. Now that we have this fruit, with her mind at ease, perhaps she could even become as long-lived as an old deity."

The princess smiled, saying, "I dare not dream of being an old deity, but if I can live to see Jinjin grow up, get married, and have a wife, I will be completely satisfied."

After a few words, Qian Yixiu offered to massage the princess. She brought with her a bottle of Golden Lotus Massage Cream, newly formulated by Master Jin.

The princess agreed with a nod, so Qian Yixiu asked her to lie down and began to gently massage her. After about a quarter of an hour, she washed the princess’s face. She then had someone bring out the Pearl Rhyme Liancourt, applied it to her face, added blush, applied lipstick, and drew her eyebrows.

After the transformation, Sister Wang exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness, the princess looks like she’s shed several years."

The princess shook her head in disbelief with a smile.

Eunuch Guo hurriedly brought over the glass mirror from the high stool to Princess Ning and said in a shrill voice, "Don’t doubt it, princess, take a look for yourself."

Looking at her reflection in the glass mirror, the princess was also somewhat stunned.

The person in the mirror still had wrinkles, but they seemed much shallower. And her face looked smoother and more natural, not like before when applying too little makeup had no effect, and applying too much made her look like she was wearing a false mask.

What woman doesn’t love beauty? The princess was extremely pleased, taking the mirror and looking at herself by the window again and again.

Qian Yixiu gave the massage cream to Sister Wang and explained how to use it. She also taught her how to apply makeup naturally and beautifully.

While they were talking, Zhu Sujin arrived. He had the day off and was studying in the study when the prince called him to the front courtyard to receive General Qian Manjiang, who had come to bring New Year’s gifts. After a few words, he couldn’t wait and hurried to the main courtyard.

As he warmed himself by the fire in the hall and drove away the cold, he complained loudly, "Just wait, sister. Once your brother is successful, he will take revenge for you."

The moment he entered, his eyes fixed on the princess’s face. He exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Mother Consort, you’re so pretty, so young."

It had been many years since Princess Ning had received such a compliment, and although she knew her son was exaggerating, she was still very pleased. She playfully scolded, "Jinjin, you are teasing your mother."

Zhu Sujin insisted, "I’m not talking nonsense; it’s true, Mother Consort. If you don’t believe me, ask Father Consort."

He complimented the princess a few more times, then squeezed in next to Qian Yixiu and said, "I heard from General Qian that the arrangement between you and Big Brother Liang was canceled?" Seeing Qian Yixiu nod, he grinned broadly and laughed, "That’s right, it should be canceled. Lady Cui is not an easy person to deal with; you would suffer if you married into that family."

Qian Yixiu scolded, "You little kid, what do you know?"

Zhu Sujin grew anxious, the veins on his forehead bulging as he said, "I’m a few days older than you, I’m your brother. How can I be a little kid?"

The princess chuckled, "You’re older than her, why are you being so petty with your sister?" She then instructed a servant, "Go to the front courtyard and tell the prince to ask General Qian to stay; Miss Qian is also here, so we’ll keep father and daughter for dinner at the mansion."

As the sky outside gradually darkened, two palace lamps were lit in the room. Zhu Sujin insisted on lighting all five lamps in the room, claiming he wanted his father consort to see clearly how beautiful his mother consort was.

This made the princess blush.

Soon, the voices of Prince Ning and Qian Manjiang could be heard outside the window. They warmed up in the hall to dispel the cold before entering the side room.

Zhu Sujin and Qian Yixiu quickly stood up from the kang bed and also helped Princess Ning to her feet to greet Prince Ning.

Prince Ning looked at the princess and paused for a moment. Zhu Sujin said at the right time, "Father Consort, look at Mother Consort, isn’t she more beautiful? When your son said so, she wouldn’t believe it."

Prince Ning focused on the princess and nodded, chuckling, "Jinjin is wrong; your mother consort was already beautiful, but now she is even more so."

His words made everyone in the room laugh.

The princess gave him a playful look and said, "What are you saying, Your Highness? In front of the children and servants, aren’t you worried about being laughed at?" Although she said this, the smile in her eyes grew even brighter.

Prince Ning laughed and helped the princess to sit on the kang bed, then sat beside her and had them all sit down as well. Zhu Sujin sat on the left, while Qian Manjiang and Qian Yixiu sat on the right.

Prince Ning was wearing a slightly worn bright blue cloud-patterned brocade long robe, with an equally worn blue brocade leather shoulder mantle with fur trim over it, and a jade hairpin in his hair. Majestic and valiantly looking, aside from deeper lines on his forehead, he appeared almost ten years younger than the princess. Perhaps it was a silent understanding between their brows, but the two did not look discordant sitting together.

Only Zhu Sujin was dressed in a brand-new red embroidered floral brocade cotton robe, his belt adorned with several high-quality jade ornaments.

This family of three resembled those doting parents from past generations who wished to bestow all the finest things upon their child.
