Chapter 341 Gift, expensive scar removal cream?
Soon it was Princess Yue'an's birthday banquet day.
Yao Qingnian was woken up by the maid early in the morning and got dressed. Worried that Linglong and the others had just returned and were not familiar with the rules and etiquette of the banquet, Chen Shuhua specially asked Yuzhu to come over and told her about the situation in the Princess's Mansion and helped her with her dressing.
"The eldest lady is just like the Madam when they were young. She looks like a fairy after a little dressing up." Yuzhu couldn't help but praise Yao Qingnian as she looked at her dressed up.
She was wearing a light blue Confucian dress, with a delicate bun on her head and a warm jade hairpin inserted in it. The hairpin shone softly in the sun, as if flowing with the tranquility of time. A few strands of hair fell beside her fair cheeks, adding a bit of gentleness and moving.
"Let's go!"
Today, Shen Wenting and Chen Shuhua brought their two daughters to attend the princess' birthday banquet. Originally, the eldest princess also invited Shen Jinghong, but considering his current situation, she let him stay at home.
When we arrived at the front hall, Chen Shuhua was already waiting. She was also dressed in gorgeous clothes today, looking dignified, elegant and steady without losing the temperament of a lady.
"Mom." Yao Qingnian simply ignored her scumbag father and bowed to her mother.
"Hurry up, you look beautiful in your outfit today, elegant and refined." Chen Shuhua nodded with satisfaction. They were going to attend the eldest princess' birthday banquet, not a tea party or flower viewing party, so it would be better to keep it simple and refreshing.
"That's because of you. I inherited good genes. You are such a beautiful and elegant mother, so how could the daughter I gave birth to be bad?" Yao Qingnian smiled and flattered her.
"Kid, how can you praise yourself like this, haha."
Shen Wenting stood aside without saying anything. His daughter was becoming more and more disrespectful. She didn't even say hello to him when she saw him. She was an ungrateful person. As for Chen Shuhua, they hadn't spoken to each other for several days because of Shen Nianran's living expenses in the countryside. This time, no matter how he bowed his head and said nice things, Chen Shuhua ignored him. He was supposed to prepare gifts for the princess at this banquet, but how could he afford that little money? He wanted to beg Chen Shuhua to give him some good things, but she ignored him. For his own future, he had to go to the old lady.
In the past, Chen Shuhua had given the old lady many good things in order to please her. When Shen Wenting went there, she felt very uncomfortable when she heard her son coming to her, an old woman, to ask for things. She scolded Chen Shuhua for being the mistress of the Shangshu Mansion and not letting her use the dowry. However, for the sake of her son's official career, she had to let her son pick out a few valuable things.
As they were talking, Shen Youran also came over. She was wearing a pink dress, and she looked cute and lively, as sunny and lovely as the sun rising in spring: "Father, mother, I am sorry that I have kept you waiting for a long time."
"It's the perfect time. Youran is playful and quiet today. Girls should dress lively and not be as rigid as some people. Let's go." Shen Wenting finally found a sense of existence. His words were full of dissatisfaction with the mother and daughter, but Yao Qingnian didn't care and got on the carriage. Shen Youran and Yao Qingnian were in the same carriage, and Shen Wenting and his wife were together. In such a big occasion, if the couple had their own things, it would inevitably cause gossip, so the two of them still had to put on some superficial work.
In the carriage, Yao Qingnian and Shen Youran ignored each other. Although she was dressed simply and elegantly, she still couldn't hide her character. It was as if she was a clown in front of her. Shen Youran didn't know why she had such a feeling in her heart, but sitting with her, she felt very oppressive.
In order to ease this discomfort, she took the initiative to say, "I wonder what gift my sister has prepared for the princess?"
"Gift?" Yao Qingnian hadn't thought of this.
"Are you not prepared?"
"No." She was indeed not prepared.
"Oh, it's all our fault. We forgot to remind Sister. I have two gifts here. One is a birthday picture I embroidered myself, and the other is a precious scar removal cream that I found with great difficulty. How can we go to the Princess's Mansion empty-handed?
Take this ointment and give it to the princess. If you can remove the scar on her face, you will have done a great deed. If you can't cure it, the princess won't blame you. This ointment is mild and non-toxic, and ordinary people can also apply it on their faces to beautify their skin. I am giving it to you with great reluctance."
Shen Youran took out an exquisite box with a look of reluctance and opened it. Inside was a white porcelain cream bottle.
Based on Yao Qingnian's understanding of Shen Youran, she would definitely want to show off such a good thing in front of the princess, so how could she be so kind to give it to her? There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. She didn't believe that Shen Youran would think so much about her, but since she gave it to her, she wanted to see what it was.
"Oh? Is there such a good thing?" Yao Qingnian glanced at the things in the box with a smile.
"Of course. I found this with great difficulty after searching among many famous doctors. I even tried it on my maid, and I saw with my own eyes that the scar on her hand disappeared without a trace. I saw that you didn't prepare any gifts, and I was worried that you would be embarrassed later. If you don't believe me, then forget it," Shen Youran pretended to be angry and wanted to put the thing away.
"Thank you for your kindness, sister. I will not hesitate to give you something to show my appreciation." Yao Qingnian suddenly smiled and took the thing.
Seeing her put the things away, Shen Youran's face flashed with a triumphant look: "You're welcome. Grandmother and mother told me to take good care of you. This is what I should do. Sister, you must behave well in front of the princess today. Don't lose face for the Shangshu Mansion!"
She heard from Chen Shuhua two days ago that Princess Yue'an had a scar on her face. It was when Emperor Cang Ling ascended the throne that year, the princess was injured by a rebel in order to protect him in a critical moment. The arrow pierced her face straight through, and the wound was hideous. She almost lost her life. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to be rescued. However, since then, the princess has had a scar on the side of her cheek. She has searched for famous doctors all over the world for years, but has not been able to cure it. Even Han Junze was powerless. Although he tried his best to help the princess remove the scar, the scar on her face was still clearly visible.
In contrast, the eldest princess didn't care, but those who wanted to curry favor with her would always try their best to find all kinds of rare medicines for her on her birthday every year, but none of them had any effect. Instead, they became more and more disappointed. After a long time, she gave up and didn't take the matter to heart.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion. Yao Qingnian and others got off the carriage and followed Shen Wenting and Chen Shuhua.
