Chapter 222: Good-looking people cannot be covered
But isn't this dress bad? Why did the young lady wear it?
Why wear it?
Isn't it because she doesn't want to show her face too much?
For some reason, she felt that if she showed up in front of the prince for too long, a certain man would definitely look at her with watery eyes, as if he had been bullied by her.
Hiss, she really couldn't stand this look.
In order to avoid seeing this look again, she has to avoid the prince.
Lin Qingjun put on this fresh satin dress. I have to say that this color really suits her and it makes people's eyes bright.
The three of them couldn't help but exclaim "Wow".
So beautiful.
What a nice view.
A plain-looking lady is already very pretty, but she looks even prettier when she wears a dress made of good material and good color. It is a different kind of beauty, a noble beauty, just like a real noble lady.
Lin Qingjun frowned.
She wasn't looking for something pretty, or something that would make a splash. Even when choosing a dress, Lin Yingxue should have used some brains, right? She could have chosen a somber, old-fashioned color, but she had to choose something so bright?
"Miss, what are you doing? Is there something wrong with your hair? Tell me and I will comb it for you again." Xiao Tao hurried forward.
Lin Qingjun instructed Xiaotao to give herself bangs. The thicker the better, preferably the kind that can cover most of her face, so that she will not be attractive.
After all these operations, most of her face was covered again.
However, it is still easy to tell from her delicate nose and scarlet lips that she is a beauty.
Xiaotao and the other two sighed again.
Good-looking people are good-looking no matter what, and it cannot be hidden.
After dinner, she and her aunt were taken to Jianjia Courtyard.
Qi passed by them and glared at them fiercely, but when she saw Lin Qingjun's thick bangs, she said, "You're smart."
"Also, if we summon you later, you will come over. If we don't summon you, you will wait in this corner."
"Remember, you are just insignificant people in the backyard of my Lin Mansion. Don't have any other thoughts."
The prince's coming is a great thing and a great joy. She will only let her daughter Lin Yingxue come forward. The master also said that whether Yingxue can be taken as the prince's wife depends on this time. No one is allowed to ruin it, especially Lin Qingjun. If possible, she really would like to scratch her face. A face that is a disaster to the country and the people is really, really infuriating.
But, fortunately she was sensible enough to wear this dress, otherwise, don't blame her for being rude.
"Madam, Madam, I will be here in an hour."
At this moment, Aunt Qi reported anxiously.
Qi no longer had any thoughts about Lin Qingjun, and hurriedly called out, "Quick, hurry up and prepare. Have the cakes and pastries in the kitchen been prepared? They must be from Qifulou. And the food, yes, the food must be exquisite. Where's Yingxue? Oh, by the way, where is Yingxue? Why doesn't she come over for such an important matter?"
Qi became very anxious, and the other servants also became anxious with her, and followed in a mess.
Xiao Tao was puzzled. "Isn't there still an hour left? Why are you so anxious now?"
Lin Qingjun chuckled, "You don't understand. The one coming is the Crown Prince. One hour is already very urgent. Some people even need three days to prepare."
"Ah? It took you so long to prepare?"
"Otherwise, what do you think? He is the crown prince, a noble person. Besides, the crown prince would not easily set foot in the mansion of a court official, especially a fourth-rank mansion like the Lin Mansion."
According to rank, a fourth-rank mansion like the Lin Mansion is not qualified to receive a person of the prince's status.
In other words, once the Lin family's incident today is over, they will become figures that everyone in the capital will flatter, and Lin Zhi can also brag about this for the rest of his life, and the glory and influence will be far-reaching.
besides.
"This is already a very simple reception at the Lin Mansion."
Just preparing some cakes and tea, what's that?
When the prince came, he would first ask the palace guards to come and take a look at the Lin Mansion to see if there were any hidden dangers or taboos. They even wanted to know the zodiac signs of everyone in the mansion, and those who were in conflict with the prince would be eliminated. They also wanted to arrange the prince's route into the mansion, what scenery he could enjoy, what chair he could sit on, and all the roads and paths must be spotless, and some places even had to be covered with non-slip mats.
Everything like this is included, no matter how big or small.
Xiaotao and the others were stunned when they heard this.
"So, there are more to it? Then it seems that Madam's anxiety is understandable."
"But it's also true. The one who came is the prince, he is not an ordinary person."
"Miss, you are so amazing. You even know this?"
Xiaotao and the others looked at her with admiration.
Lin Qingjun's lips twitched. She could say that she had lived one more life than them, so naturally she knew more than them.
Although she had never encountered this incident, she had heard other ladies talk about it. There was a lady named Liu, whose husband was a fourth-rank minister of the Ministry of Works. She proudly boasted to other ladies at a banquet. She couldn't hide the smugness on her face, and she even had a vague attitude that she was disdainful of associating with them after meeting the prince.
But for some reason, it ended up in nothing.
The next time I heard about her was half a year later when we met by chance in the suburbs of Beijing. However, she was now dressed in plain clothes, and there was no trace of her former charm.
It turned out that the prince did not go down that day. The exact reason was unknown, but now that I think about it, it must be that the prince suddenly discovered that the Ministry of Works did not have what he wanted?
For example, private library.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingjun smiled sarcastically.
She was a woman in the harem and always thought that a person like the prince should be extremely upright. After all, he would be in charge of the people of the Daqi Kingdom in the future. But who knew that he was such a selfish person in his bones. He would shamelessly go to whichever family would benefit him. How was he different from the bandits in the mountains?
She sighed again.
She was just a woman in the harem, and she couldn't interfere in matters like the crown prince. It would be better for her to earn more money to protect herself.
"Okay, stop talking and let's go over there."
Of course, she couldn't just listen to Qi and stand in a corner waiting. It would be better for her to sit at a hidden little stone table and rest.
"... Auntie, you didn't eat much for breakfast, did you? Come, have some chestnut cakes. I made them yesterday."
"Xiaotao, Mute, and Xieyang, you two should come over and have some too."
It looked like they wouldn't be able to wait for the prince for an hour, and she instinctively felt that the prince was just going through the motions, and they couldn't starve themselves because of this.
"...Lin Qingjun, why are you here?"
At this moment, Xiao Yuan discovered them without knowing when.
Lin Qingjun cursed inwardly, what bad luck.
