Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1074 - 1072: Acting as a Makeup Artist

Mei Er quickly delivered a set of official documents. Looking at the documents as thick as a book, Wufu expressed a bit of a headache.

Jadeite flipped through it and said, "No wonder it’s so thick. It even includes family alliances, who is related by marriage to whom, it’s all inside. Tsk tsk, it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s intricate. Oh, this Jun Family actually has a lady married into the Marquis Pingguo’s Mansion as the Second Young Madam."

Wufu heard this, took it over and glanced: "Is it Jun Wenqi’s legitimate elder sister?"

"It should be. I seem to have heard that the Jun Family had a legitimate daughter married into the Marquis Pingguo’s Mansion. I wouldn’t have remembered if I hadn’t seen this," Jadeite said. "However, the eldest legitimate daughter-in-law of the Marquis Pingguo’s Mansion is the eldest legitimate daughter of Zhou Qizheng, the Minister of Revenue."

Wufu flipped through it and said, "Zhou Qizheng is with the Tenth Prince?"

"On the surface, yes. But they say Zhou Qizheng is a typical old fox; who knows!" Jadeite curled her lips and said, "These old fox officials, it’s not enough to say they have seven orifices and a delicate mind, at least nine. But speaking of the Zhou family, this Marquis of Pingguo must be one too. It’s said that the current Old Madam of the Marquis Pingguo’s Mansion is the legitimate cousin of the Fan Family."

Wufu’s temples throbbed. She closed the documents and said, "It really is intricate." After a pause, she added, "If this Madam Jun is the Second Young Madam Ping, then in the eyes of outsiders, the Jun Family at least looks connected to the Tenth Prince’s Mansion, and the Jun Family... hehe. Interesting."

Due to the lingering illness and coma of the Crown Prince of Nanyue, a sense of unease lingered in the imperial city. However, it was only the intuitively sensitive families that felt uneasy. For those who were oblivious to worldly affairs, staying in the back courtyard all day long, vying for power and profit, embroidering flowers, and playing with jewelry, they wouldn’t have such feelings.

Thus, while Wufu busily handled business and the issues of the silver mines, the Famed Flower Convention in Changan City arrived as scheduled. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Young lady, we need to go to the Marquis Jingkang’s Mansion to do Princess Changping’s makeup. Please get up quickly." On the morning of the sixteenth of April, as just a faint light was breaking, Jadeite stood by the bed and softly called.

Wufu opened her eyes, her voice still thick with sleep: "What time is it?"

"It’s already the time of mao," Jadeite replied.

Wufu yawned and said, "Does it have to be this early?" She murmured as she got out of bed.

Jadeite had the maids bring in the washing items and prepared the clothes, smiling as she said, "If you were attending, you probably wouldn’t have to get up so early. But we have to go to the Marquis Jingkang’s Mansion and prepare there, so we can’t let the Princess be late!"

"It’s not easy to earn some silver these days!" Wufu slightly regretted agreeing to act as the makeup artist herself; she should have let Fengniang go.

Jadeite said, "It’s just this once. You can see it as an experience." She looked at how thin Wufu’s face had become due to the recent busyness and with a heart full of pity said, "Later on, I’ll have the maids brew a ginseng soup for you to replenish yourself. You’ve lost quite a bit of weight lately."

Wufu was already washed and sat at the dressing table, looking at herself in the Western mirror, touched her face, and said, "I have lost weight." Her eyes appeared larger.

"Quickly, do the young lady’s hair," Jadeite instructed the newly promoted second-class maid, Ma Nao.

"Yes."

Wufu glanced at the crisp maid and said, "Nothing too intricate; something simple and elegant will suffice."

Ma Nao smiled, "Don’t worry, young lady, I understand." Although she had not been here long, she already knew Wufu preferred not to dress up extravagantly but liked simple and elegant hairstyles. Nonetheless, she meticulously designed it, for not everyone had such an opportunity to serve directly in front of the mistress.
