Chapter 318 Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin



"Princess Mingyue." Xie Yunjiao greeted Princess Mingyue warmly when she saw her.

However, when Princess Mingyue saw Xie Yunjiao, she lost her previous enthusiasm and even glanced at Xie Yunjiao with some disgust and turned her head away.

Xie Yunjiao was stunned for a moment, but the smile on her face did not diminish.

She said to Princess Mingyue, "I wonder what I have done to make Princess Qianshou dislike me so much?"

Princess Mingyue glanced at Xie Yunjiao, and the smile on her face only made her angrier.

"How dare you say that? Why did you send Lian Yiyi to my father and dress her up as my mother when she was young?"

If Lian Yiyi had not dressed up as the young Concubine Gu Shufei, how could she have caught the emperor's eye with her beauty?

"My dear Princess, I really don't know how she knew what Concubine Gu Shu looked like and pretended to be like that.

But her return this time is not simple, so you need to be more careful." Xie Yunjiao said.

If it were someone else, Xie Yunjiao would not pay any attention, let alone say these things to her in such a earnest manner.

Who made Princess Mingyue Gu Huai's half-sister, and she wasn't annoying?

Princess Mingyue was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Xie Yunjiao to say this to her.

Her eyes were fixed on Xie Yunjiao, as if she wanted to see something from her face.

"Forget it, I will trust you again for now." Princess Mingyue said.

"Thank you Princess Mingyue for your trust." Xie Yunjiao said.

"By the way, why didn't I see Yan Ning today?" Princess Mingyue said.

Ever since Magistrate Zhou was dealt with, the emperor ordered Doudou to distribute porridge. With Doudou around, the previous incident would naturally not happen. That was also why Princess Mingyue could no longer find a reason to leave the palace to distribute porridge.

She could only do nothing in the palace, so she asked someone to invite Xie Yunjiao and Yan Ning into the palace.

"Yan Ning hasn't recovered since the last time he was frightened," said Xie Yunjiao.

Actually, it wasn't like that. Yan Ning was almost recovered. It was the Duke of Zhenguo who had an accident. His health suddenly deteriorated and he almost didn't survive.

Yan Ning stayed by the bedside of the Duke of Zhenguo for several nights without taking off his clothes, and his condition gradually improved.

The Duke of Zhenguo is fine now, but Yan Ning is exhausted.

So even if Princess Mingyue invited her today, she couldn't go.

Princess Mingyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly, "Is everything you said true? That's great."

Xie Yunjiao: "..." Princess Mingyue, although I know what you mean, if you behave like this, people who don't know you will think you have no conscience.

Princess Mingyue also knew that she had acted a little too much, and hurriedly added: "That's not what I meant, I just..." She just wanted to take this opportunity to leave the palace.

Xie Yunjiao smiled and said, "Princess, I understand."

Princess Mingyue also smiled and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go out of the palace and visit Yan Ning."

"Is it so urgent? Should we send someone to notify Yan Ning first?" Xie Yunjiao said.

If I go there rashly, the people in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion won't know about it, and it would be bad if Princess Mingyue discovered the Duke Zhenguo's secret.

Previously, Yan Qing took advantage of the Fifth Prince's accident to eliminate the Fifth Prince's spies planted in his house.

Now the Duke of Zhenguo can walk and move freely in the mansion without worrying about being discovered by the emperor's men.

"No need. If we tell her, there will be no surprise when we go there later." Princess Mingyue said.

In fact, she just wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible and didn't want to waste too much time.

Princess Mingyue was able to go out openly again, and she immediately had someone change her into a set of light clothes.

She suddenly remembered that Xie Yunjiao said she could put on makeup, so she asked Xie Yunjiao to put on makeup for her.

Under Xie Yunjiao's skillful hands, she made the most of her strengths and minimized her weaknesses, and she actually looked even more beautiful and charming than usual.

Princess Mingyue was stunned when she looked at herself in the mirror. "This? Could it be some kind of magic trick?"

Xie Yunjiao smiled and said, "It can be considered a little trick. As long as you don't remove your makeup, this little trick will stay on your face forever."

Princess Mingyue touched her face and said with great satisfaction, "Then I will never wash my face, so that I can keep this look forever."

"Absolutely not," Xie Yunjiao said, "Although my cosmetics are made from the finest ingredients, they are, after all, external things, so they shouldn't be kept on the face for too long."

Princess Mingyue was troubled: "Won't it be gone once I wash my face?"

"The lady can do your makeup again, or I can teach your dressing nanny how to do it."

"Okay, since you said so, I will personally learn from you tomorrow," Princess Mingyue said. "I will go out of the palace and learn from you!"

Great! I found another legitimate reason to leave the palace.

Xie Yunjiao had no choice but to agree.

Princess Mingyue first went to pay her respects to Concubine Gu Shu, and then left the palace with Xie Yunjiao.

Xie Yunjiao saw Concubine Gu Shu from a close distance and felt that Gu Huai did not look very similar to Concubine Gu Shu.

Ye Baien also said that Gu Huai is more like the deceased Third Prince.

It is said that Concubine Gu Shu went to the palace to ask the emperor for help in order to save the Third Prince, but the emperor deceived her and not only kept her in the palace but also killed the Third Prince.

But the coercion has now turned into obedience, otherwise how could there be Princess Mingyue?

Concubine Gu Shu noticed Xie Yunjiao's gaze and looked up at her: "Madam Lian, is there anything dirty on my face?"

Xie Yunjiao was stunned for a moment. Concubine Gu Shu did not even call herself "this palace", and the tone she used when talking to her did not give people a feeling of superiority.

"You are so beautiful, Madam Gu Shufei. The ladies couldn't help but take a few more glances at you."

Although Lian Yiyi tried her best to imitate Concubine Gu Shufei, she only copied a similar face but could not copy Concubine Gu Shufei's expression.

Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Even if Lian Yiyi imitates Concubine Gu very well, she is not Concubine Gu Shufei.

Concubine Gu Shu smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's just a useless shell."

If it weren't for her face, Jinglang wouldn't have died.

"You guys go out and be careful on the road." After saying this, Concubine Gu Shufei lay down directly on the chaise longue, supporting her head with only one hand and her eyes closed.

It was the first time that Xie Yunjiao saw such a free and easy person, who didn't care at all about the etiquette required of her as the emperor's concubine.

Princess Mingyue took Xie Yunjiao away, and she only breathed a sigh of relief after leaving Concubine Gu Shufei's bedroom.

"You, don't ever say those words to Mother again when you see her next time. She won't like to hear them."

Fortunately, my mother was in a good mood today, so she didn't lose her temper with Xie Yunjiao.

"Thank you for the reminder, Princess." Xie Yunjiao said.

Xie Yunjiao and Princess Mingyue left the palace together and came to the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Xie Yunjiao winked at the servant guarding the gate.
