Chapter 74. A princess’s woman will never admit defeat (2)

Lin Youniang didn’t die in peace.

Shi Jiu: "..."

Volunteering to be a concubine...

The Lin family had so much money, but she still tried to keep the peace. 

Peace? My foot! Wouldn't it be easy to raise a few people with better looks than Lu Beiyuan?

Why would she hang herself on a tree?

She was going to see the princess the next morning and pay her regards.

It was also better to go to bed early since she had heard that staying up late can make you bald.

The next day, Shi Jiu was pulled up by Fu Ling early in the morning, and Fu Ling helped her choose clothes and dress up.

While Fu Ling was combing her hair, she muttered: "Miss, I will dress you up beautifully today, but you can't let that princess look down on you." 

Shi Jiu: "....." 

No matter how beautiful she wanted to be, she knew she could reach that level. But being too beautiful before a princess? As long as the princess didn’t care about her reputation, she could have her killed with just one sentence.

Shi Jiu felt unhappy. She went to bed late last night and was woken up before she had enough sleep. She was still very sleepy.

"Okay, okay, that's it. You don't need to apply so much powder on me. It will all fall off when I sweat later." Shi Jiu stopped Fu Ling from continuing to apply powder and rouge on her.

Fu Ling held the box and looked at her, tears flashing in her eyes.

Was her young lady giving up on herself? Did she think that she couldn’t compare to the princess, so she decided to just stop competing at all?

Her poor lady...

Shi Jiu could tell what she was thinking as soon as she saw her. She was about to shed tears, and Shi Jiu's scalp began to feel numb.

"Good girl, your lady, I, am naturally beautiful. I don't need these rouge and gouache."

Fu Ling was about to cry. Was the lady being stimulated and going crazy? Nothing felt right when she spoke. The lady used to be so gentle and generous, but now she was so aggravated that she had started talking nonsense.

Her poor lady.

Shi Jiu: "..." Well, she lost.

"Apply it, apply it." If she didn't apply it, she would cry.

All it would do was make her face sticky when she sweated.

Fu Ling was sobbing, her nose and eyes were red from crying, but her hand movements were not slow.

She carefully applied rouge on Shi Jiu.

"Young lady is the most beautiful, she must be prettier than that princess!"

Thank you.

"Let's go, let's go. Go early, don't be late." Shi Jiu shouted.

"Yes, yes, you have to go quickly, you can't be late. I saw it written in the notebook. If you are late to greet her, you will be severely punished by the mistress of the house. We can't give such a chance to the princess."

Fu Ling nodded vigorously, put down the things in her hands, and prepared to help her go to greet her.

Notebook... She suspected that Fu Ling had seen something strange.

Shi Jiu said to hurry up, but actually walked like a turtle, moving slower and slower.

Fu Ling was about to cry, "Miss, please walk faster! What should I do if we get caught being late?" 

"It's okay, the princess won't get up so soon." 

"But my lady, didn't you just say to hurry up... ..." Fu Ling had tears in her eyes.

Shi Jiu: "..." Why are you crying again? Are you made of water?

She only said that because she didn't want to put on rouge. Who knew Fu Ling was so easy to deceive, so she believed it.

The princess truly didn't wake up that early. After arriving, Shi Jiu would have to stand and wait. Her legs would become numb after standing for such a long time. In addition, Lu Beiyuan might have to stand outside and wait as well, and she didn't want to face that scumbag.

Might as well walk slowly.

Shi Jiu was strolling so leisurely, but Fu Ling was in a hurry.

Typically, the emperor was not in a hurry but the eunuch was.

"Miss, hurry up, the time is about to pass." Fu Ling urged her.

Shi Jiu glanced at her, and because she was afraid of what she would say, she sped up a bit.

Although the house was quite big, it couldn’t be that big... shit... They ended up walking for half an hour.

When she arrived, Fu Ling's face was red and was out of breath. Shi Jiu wore a cheerful smile.

This was really far apart. How much did Lu Beiyuan not want Lin Youniang to meet the princess? Was he afraid that Lin Youniang would offend the princess by speaking inappropriately?
