Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 288: Aunt Fangruo and Yuanshan Dai

Su Peisheng was also the one who had met Rouze with the Fourth Prince, so he naturally knew why the Fourth Prince took Lin Zhuoyin as a princess, not to mention that it was Su Peisheng who took Lin Zhuoyin to Yonghe Palace. But now that they met again, this Princess Lin seemed to have lost her original cleverness, and it was unknown how long her blooming period would last.

However, how long Lin Zhuoyin can be proud has nothing to do with Su Peisheng, and he will not remind Lin Zhuoyin out of kindness. The most important thing was delivered, and Su Peisheng introduced the nanny next to him, "Girl Lin, this is Aunt Fangruo, who has been serving the prince all year round. Today the prince specially sent Aunt Fangruo to teach you!"

Fang Ruo bowed and said kindly, "I am Fang Ruo, your servant, meeting Ling Gege."

Fangruo's respectfulness formed a sharp contrast with the disdain of the guide maid just now. Lin Zhuoyin also regained her composure. The maids around the prince have to be so respectful to me. You are just a small guide maid. Even if you have been in the palace before, aren't you still an insignificant guide maid now?

Lin Zhuoyin returned the favor and said to Fang Ruo affectionately, "Aunt, you don't have to be so polite. You are the aunt of the prince. I still have a lot to ask of you!"

Su Peisheng achieved the purpose of this trip and went back to report to the Fourth Prince. Fang Ruo brought a large group of people to help Lin Zhuoyin bathe and change clothes, preparing to serve the Fourth Prince in the evening.

Lin Zhuoyin entered the bathtub first and saw Fang Ruo constantly adding things into the water. Along with the hot steam, a rich scent of plum blossoms spread.

Fang Ruo noticed Lin Zhuoyin's confusion and explained, "Princess, you don't know, the prince likes the fragrance of plum blossoms the most, especially the red plum blossoms blooming in the snow."

These words made Lin Zhuoyin clench her hands under the water. She finally understood why the Fourth Prince only took a fancy to her among so many palace maids who wanted to gain wealth and fame. It must be because of her being in the Red Plum Forest.

Since the Fourth Prince likes it, why not take advantage of it? Lin Zhuoyin said tentatively, "It is fate. I also like red plum blossoms, but there is only one place in the palace where red plum blossoms grow in full bloom. It is far from where I am on duty, so I cannot go there often to enjoy them."

It would be strange if Lin Zhuoyin liked it. As a palace maid in winter, she would like to stay by the charcoal basin all day to keep warm. If it weren't for the fact that plum blossoms bloom only in winter and the scenery is the best, Lin Zhuoyin would not wear thin clothes and stay in the plum forest to "wait for Yong to come".

After hearing what Lin Zhuoyin said, Fang Ruo smiled with even more satisfaction, "Since the princess likes it, why not talk to the prince more, this can also be a kind of boudoir interest." No matter whether she really likes it or not, since she has said it, she naturally has to show her extreme love in front of the Fourth Prince.

Lin Zhuoyin felt Fang Ruo's closeness, so she naturally took advantage of the situation and said, "Aunt, I didn't know how to dress myself before. I wonder if you can give me some advice."

Isn’t this exactly what Fangruo intended?

Fang Ruo looked at Lin Zhuoyin carefully and praised, "Princess, you have a good nose, it's straight and beautiful, with a slightly upturned nose tip. You can tell at first glance that she is a pretty beauty." Most importantly, her nose looks like the nose of the prince's sweetheart.

After listening to Fang Ruo's words, Lin Zhuoyin also touched her nose. Her nose was indeed the most outstanding of her facial features.

Fang Ruo continued, "It's just that your eyebrows are a little rough. After you finish bathing, I will paint you a mountain-shaped eyebrow that suits you."

Lin Zhuoyin repeated doubtfully, "Yuan Shan Dai?"

Fang Ruo smiled and explained, "Distant mountain black is a type of eyebrow shape that has been popular since the Han Dynasty. Eyebrows are painted with black, and the color looks like distant mountains, so it is called 'distant mountain black'. After painting, the eyebrows are winding and smoky, like distant mountains, with a hint of green, which is really the most suitable for princesses."

As for the fact that Yuanshandai was invented by Zhao Hede, there is no need to say it. After all, it has a bad meaning and revealing it will bring disaster.

Lin Zhuoyin seemed to understand, knowing that this was a rare opportunity, "Then I'll trouble you, aunt."

When Lin Zhuoyin came out of the water, different ointments were carefully applied all over her body, even her hair was smeared with hair oil. She sat in front of the mirror, and Fang Ruo carefully decorated her face. She also put on a Manchu dress that gave her a fairy-like look. Only then was she done.

Lin Zhuoyin looked at the person in the mirror in a trance. Under her long eyebrows were a pair of starry eyes. She had never been so beautiful before, but how could she not look like her? Shocked by this thought, Lin Zhuoyin laughed at herself for being sensitive. Who else could the person in the mirror look like if not herself?

Aunt Fangruo behind her also looked at Lin Zhuoyin through the mirror with satisfaction. Originally there was only a vague resemblance of two points, but with Fangruo's skillful hands, it was increased to five points. If combined with Lin Zhuoyin's singing voice, there would be about seven or eight points of similarity in the dim night.

Lin Zhuoyin also noticed Fangruo's gaze through the mirror. She said gratefully, "Thank you for your help, Aunt. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know."

Originally, Lin Zhuoyin was a little nervous about serving the prince. After all, she had only met him once, and she couldn't guarantee that she would be favored after entering the palace. But after Fang Ruo dressed up like this, her confidence increased by more than half. If Fang Ruo was the prince's person, could she dress herself in a way that the prince didn't like?

Fang Ruo just smiled and said, "But these are all orders from the prince. If the princess pleases the prince, I will be satisfied."

Lin Zhuoyin knew that it was difficult to win over the people around the Fourth Prince, so she could only signal Lily to give Fangruo another big purse as a token of gratitude.

Fang Ruo happily took the purse and reminded, "Your Highness has been very busy with official duties these days, and I'm afraid he won't have time to dine with you. You'd better send someone to the kitchen early!" Otherwise, when the Fourth Prince comes, you won't have the energy if you haven't eaten, and you won't be able to serve him if you have just eaten, so it's better to eat early.

Lin Zhuoyin also had some basic trust in Fang Ruo, and immediately told Lily, "Lily, do as your aunt said."

Lily watched Lin Zhuoyin change under Fang Ruo's command and truly felt the huge difference between a master and a servant. Lin Zhuoyin was no longer the little palace maid who struggled to survive with her, but the high and mighty master.

The jealous fire in her heart was burning more and more. Lily barely controlled her expression and went out. However, the nanny who led Lin Zhuoyin was not as considerate as Cao Qinmo. She did not introduce the layout of the house at all. Lily could only walk to the kitchen by asking questions. The embarrassment along the way made her feel even more unhappy. If she had been valued by the Fourth Prince...

Fang Ruo could see Lily's little tricks, so she said to Lin Zhuoyin, "Forgive me for saying so much, but this Lily girl beside you seems to be a little unruly. You should make plans early to avoid raising a tiger that will cause trouble."
