Silent Lover (The Silent Concubine) - Chap 76
Chapter 76 Heavy Makeup
Song Qing thought Shen Yu would be depressed because of this, but he underestimated Shen Yu’s will. He neither cried and made a fuss about going to see the prince, nor was he sad. He got up on time every morning, had meals, and took the medicine prescribed by Bian Shisi. But the calmer he was, the more worried Song Qing was.
In addition to these, Shen Yu just sat in front of the dressing table every day to draw eyebrows and apply powder. If she was not satisfied, she would wash it with clean water and start over again. The powder on her face became thicker and thicker, the lipstick became brighter and brighter, and the eye shadows flew like butterfly wings.
‘Stop drawing!
Song Qing grabbed Shen Yu’s hand which was still painting, and really didn’t understand the meaning of him painting and washing.
Shen Yu turned his head and gestured with a smile: “What’s wrong? Doesn’t it look good?
Song Qing looked at his heavy makeup, which was extremely beautiful. Although his makeup technique was clumsy, his eye shadow was unevenly smudged, and his blush was excessive, making him look like a clown with a smudged face in a drama, it could not conceal his perfect facial features.
“It doesn’t look good!” Song Qinglang said in his heart.
Shen Yu was a little discouraged. He had painted it dozens of times. Why was he so clumsy? He couldn’t even do a good job of makeup. Nanny Chongmu had taught him some things before. Shen Yu was frustrated that he was distracted because he was afraid of marrying the King of Zhenbei and didn’t learn it carefully.
Then I’ll come back with a higher salary.
After Shen Yu made the gesture, she put her head in the basin and scrubbed off all her makeup and eyebrows.
“What’s the point of you learning from that husband? Are you going to act like him and win back the prince?
This was the harshest thing Song Qing had ever said. In an impulse, he threw all his powder boxes and makeup on the ground, spilling the bright rouge all over the floor.
Shen Yu was frightened by his sudden anger and forgot to wipe the wet stains on his face.
“My Lord…I like it.
Shen Yu thought, the prince likes the charming Honglian these days, so if he becomes that way, will he like him too?
So after Shen Yu saw Hong Lian’s exquisite and charming makeup and temperament, she felt inferior and stayed in the house to learn.
That kind of person relies on showing off her beauty to men, and she is a slut who can do anything for money. He came to the palace because the princess gave him 10,000 taels of silver as a reward! Do you want to be like him?”
When Song Qing thought of Honglian’s pale face and coy look, he felt nauseous.
It turned out that Honglian came to the palace just for silver. Shen Yu knew it then, but Honglian could make money by selling meat. A thousand gold coins a night, he would give himself away for free, and the King of Zhenbei didn’t want it, it seemed cheaper than Honglian.
“The prince is fickle. If he likes a blind man tomorrow, you have to poke your own eyes out. If he likes a woman the day after tomorrow, can you turn into a woman?!
Song Qing’s chest heaved. He didn’t know why he was so excited. After he finished speaking, he regretted his impulsiveness and loss of composure.
Shen Yu thought about it seriously and gestured: That’s too difficult… Can I pretend like before?
Song Qing was speechless. Shen Yu was born a slave and married into the palace as a “substitute”. His world was so small that there was only the King of Zhenbei, so his obsession was deep in his bones. “You…you don’t have to learn from him.” Song Qing said bitterly,
If the prince doesn’t like you, someone else will…”
“Ah~ It’s broad daylight, what are the people inside doing behind closed doors? I’ve knocked on the door, if you don’t open it, I’ll go in and take it myself~ Hehe~
Just by hearing the flirtatious smile and gentle tone, I knew that the person outside was Honglian.
