73 Chapter 14: Imperial Dr. Yen, Spring Garden Party Part Three (1/2)
As there was still a short time before the Garden Party began, Consort Gina and her maids went to pass the time at the gazebo in the garden. Rainbow carp splashed in the lake, and the few remaining autumns leafs dyed in red scattered through the air.
”All this was thanks to you,” Consort Gina told Yen. Though there was enough sunlight, the winds were cold and harsh. Normally, they would be shivering in the cold, but because of the underwear with the pocket warmers, no one suffered to that extent. Even Imperial Princess Wuying, whom everyone had been worried about, was curled up into a ball inside the basket. There were heated stones fitted neatly to not burn her; the little princess will not have to suffer from the cold
”As you can get low-temperature burns, when you remove the Imperial Princess' heated stone, please wrap it with a cloth when you replace it. Also, please take note of any stinging in the mouth if you overeat of the candy.” Yen said as she replaced the heated stone inside the handbasket. The imperial princess' diapers and change of clothes were also inside. The brazier to warm the heated stones were already requested and brought in by a eunuch.
”I understand. That said,” the consort leaked out an impish giggle. The other maids were also smiling wryly. ”You are my maid after all,” she pointed at the jade necklace.
”That is certainly true.” Yen decided to capture the moment of those words. Consort Gina and she follow maids' eyes hurt, as they continued to gaze strongly at her. Yen hated being noticed and looked at this way. Being Beautiful isn't always the best Afterall.
When Ren walked in Yen had her back turned to him as she was still tending to the little princess trying to make her as comfortable as possible. He greeted the consort before walking over to Yen but paused when he saw her face.
Standing there with expressionlessly, looking up at him with a disrespectful face, was an unfamiliar maid. Whose beauty certainly surpassed his and Consort Gina
”Pleasant day to you, Ren-sama,” Yen said to the stunned pervert, who is silently staring at her nearly unable to say a word. He the same reaction as the maids when they removed her ”Fake” birth-mark
”Are you wearing make-up?” Ren finally asked.
”No, I'm not.” She wasn't wearing any make-up aside from the makeup on her lips and the corner of her eyes.
”Your Birth-mark is erased,” Ren said.
”Indeed, because they erased them,” Yen said as she pointed slightly to the maids who are still half-dazed.
”You erased it with make-up, didn't you?” he pressed.
”I erased it when I removed the make-up.”
”What you said is strange. There's a contradiction,” he said.
”No. There is no such thing,” she said. Make-up isn't just used to beautify. There were also cases where middle-aged women specifically used make-up to make themselves look unattractive. The product made of dried clay and mixed with dye, Yen applied around every day. Just to make her look ugly enough or unnoticeable.
”Why would you do that kind of make-up? Is there any meaning to it?”
