Feng Jin discovered she could invent several new hairstyles, which would definitely start a trend.
She hadn't expected to become a makeup artist in ancient times.
It was truly a case of gold shining wherever it went.
And she was going to be the brightest piece of gold.
"Eldest sister-in-law, can you style my hair like this too?" Ling Wan's eyes were full of admiration, and she pestered Feng Jin to change her hairstyle.
"Alright then, I'll do it for you." Feng Jin readily agreed and began to undo Ling Wan's current hairstyle.
Her bangs were braided into a plait, half of her hair was tied into a bun, and the remaining half was braided into a fishtail braid wrapped around the bun.
Compared to Feng Jin's hairstyle, it added a touch of playfulness, making her look even more charming and youthful.
Feng Jin picked up a butterfly tassel hairpin and placed it on the side of the bun. "There."
Ling Wan gazed at herself in the mirror for a long time, her face beaming with satisfaction. "Eldest sister-in-law, you have such skilled hands. This hairstyle is truly beautiful."
"If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Everyone has a love for beauty. In her previous life, Feng Jin had spent a lot of time researching beautiful braids, and now she finally had a chance to put her skills to use.
Feng Jin noticed a flicker of sadness in Yun Niang's eyes. "Yun Niang, when you're better, I'll teach you how to dress up and do your hair."
"Thank you, madam." Yun Niang's lips curved into a smile, imagining herself being able to wear exquisite makeup, beautiful long dresses, and elegant hairpins like everyone else, living a normal life.
"Yun Niang, I'll change your dressing for you."
Feng Jin gently unwrapped the gauze from Yun Niang's face. Some of the surgical threads had already been absorbed, and the wound was gradually healing. In another two days, after it had completely healed, the scar could be removed.
She applied ointment to the wound and re-bandaged it.
"You're recovering well. Continue taking the medicine, and in two days, I'll help you with the scar removal."
"Thank you, madam."
"No need for thanks. Ling Wan, you must take good care of Yun Niang."
Feng Jin instructed Ling Wan. Ling Wan had been learning medicine from her these days and could handle some simple symptoms with ease.
"I've noted it all down, eldest sister-in-law. Don't worry."
...
"Young Madam, perhaps you shouldn't go out today. We can go tomorrow," Cai Qing advised as she followed Feng Jin. The young general had instructed her not to let the young madam overwork herself.
Even a tireless person couldn't handle such continuous work.
"If you babble any more, you won't be following me. Go back to the manor."
Feng Jin felt like her head was about to fall off from Cai Qing's nagging.
Cai Qing quickly covered her mouth in fear. She wouldn't say anything more.
"Oh, right, have the things I asked you to prepare been gathered?"
"Everything is ready. Two boxes of Qingfeng Yulu Paste, four bottles of Shenxian Water, and two boxes of lip rouge for the Princess of Jing."
Cai Qing listed them one by one, all prepared in advance according to the young madam's instructions.
"That's good." Feng Jin nodded. Every time she visited the Prince of Jing's manor, she used meeting Lin Yuwei as an excuse, and the gifts she prepared were never small. Her little savings were about to run out.
She needed to find a way to get Chu Chenyi to return these funds. She didn't want to be a generous fool for nothing.
Upon arriving at the Prince of Jing's manor, Feng Jin had visited so frequently that the gatekeepers didn't even bother to announce her; they simply let her stride in.
"Are you going to drink it or not!" Lin Yuwei stood with her hands on her hips, looking like a shrew, glaring at Chu Chenyi with fiery eyes, as if she were about to devour him.
Chu Chenyi was also stubborn. His expression remained unchanged as he moved the bowl of black, unidentifiable liquid aside and said coldly, "I said, I will not drink it!"
Lin Yuwei took a deep breath, trying to calm her escalating temper. "You won't drink it, will you..."
"No!"
Lin Yuwei's lips curved into a terrifying smile. She picked up the bowl with one hand and, with lightning speed, pressed Chu Chenyi's head down with the other, forcefully pouring the bowl into his mouth.
When Feng Jin arrived, she witnessed this horrifying scene, her eyes wide with surprise, her mouth agape.
Was this the gentle and weak Lin Yuwei she knew? The difference was too immense.
Feng Jin rubbed her eyes, thinking it was a hallucination.
After pouring the entire bowl of medicinal soup into Chu Chenyi's mouth, Lin Yuwei arrogantly slammed the bowl onto the table, hands on her hips, and declared, "You wouldn't drink, would you? I have plenty of ways to deal with you."
Chu Chenyi's handsome face was flushed red, either from choking or anger. He coughed a few times and pointed at Lin Yuwei, shouting furiously, "You... you're unreasonable!"
"Who are you calling unreasonable? I think you are..."
"Yuwei!" Feng Jin intervened just as Lin Yuwei was about to act.
If they continued arguing like this, Chu Chenyi's life might be in danger. He looked much thinner these days; it was evident he had suffered a lot of abuse from Lin Yuwei. Poor thing.
"Sister Feng Jin, why are you here?"
Upon seeing Feng Jin, Lin Yuwei's gloomy expression vanished. She walked towards Feng Jin with a smile, happy to finally see someone who could bring her joy after so many days.
"What were you doing just now? At least be mindful. Chu Chenyi is a prince, after all. Treating him like this, if it gets out, it won't be good for your reputation. You should show some restraint. What if you killed him and then had to mourn him?" Feng Jin advised her earnestly.
"Mourn him? If he dies today, I'll remarry after his seventh day." Lin Yuwei said dismissively. She wouldn't be foolish enough to mourn Chu Chenyi; it would be a waste of her youth.
Although Feng Jin was surprised by Lin Yuwei's words, she secretly agreed with her.
Chu Chenyi, standing behind them, heard their entire conversation and became even more convinced that Lin Yuwei had turned into this unseemly state entirely because of Feng Jin.
How long had she been following Feng Jin? She had learned all sorts of improper skills so thoroughly.
"I brought you some good things." Feng Jin said with a smile and turned to Cai Qing. "Cai Qing, bring the items."
Cai Qing curtsied slightly and presented the items before them. "Princess, this is Qingfeng Yulu Paste, this is Shenxian Water, and these two boxes are lip rouge."
Lin Yuwei's eyes instantly lit up. She stared intently at the items in the boxes, opening them one by one. What she liked most were the two boxes of lip rouge, which smelled sweet and were very moisturizing when applied.
"I've added honey essence to the lip rouge. It makes your lips very hydrated and prevents dryness."
Feng Jin introduced each item, explaining that this lip rouge had the effect of moisturizing and nourishing the lips, offering multiple benefits.
"Sister Feng Jin, I love this so much. Thank you."
"You're welcome. Good things should be shared. I'll send you more when you've used these up."
