C153 grooming

Early in the morning, when the sky had just begun to brighten, I was pulled out of bed by Xia Shui.

"Xia Shui, it's not time to wake up yet." I kept my eyes closed.

"Miss, didn't you forget? "Today is the day of your formal engagement. There will be a lot of rich and powerful people coming by then. You need to get up and dress up." Xia Shui refused to let go and continued to pull on me.

"Ah, today is the ceremony." I woke up with a start.

"I knew Miss had forgotten. "This is the first time the young lady has revealed her identity as the prince's mansion lord in front of everyone, so you cannot be careless. Yesterday, the prince specifically told you not to embarrass the palace." Xia Shui explained as she helped me dress.

"That's for sure. Hurry up, I want to wash my face. I have to dress up so beautiful." I got Qian Jin right away.

"Miss, you've always disliked dressing up. It's rare for you to take the initiative today." Xia Shui looked at me in shock.

"How can that be the same? I usually don't go out in this courtyard. Everyone here is familiar with each other, so I've seen all sorts of things. But today is different. I have to dress up beautifully to suppress the crowd." I thought about how many people would come today. Bai Jing was such a hot topic, what if someone were to seduce him? I must dress up better than them.

"Miss, you don't need to be so flustered. The formal ceremony will only start in a long time." Xia Shui was elated when she saw my hands and feet were in a mess.

I put all my clothes on the bed and tried them on me, one by one. No matter how, I was not satisfied.

"This one is a bit too modest." I dropped the blue dress.

"This flower is too miscellaneous." Throw it away.

"This piece of white is filled with immortal energy, but it's too depressing." Throw it away.

"This black one is too dull." Throw it away.

"This green one won't do. It doesn't have a good meaning." Throw it away.

"Miss, this green item looks really good, why do you say it has a bad meaning?" Xia Shui picked up her clothes and asked.

"You don't know, green is a color of forgiveness with us. It's not good." I curled my lips and continued to try on my clothes.

"Alright then, miss, your clothes look really nice on your face, why are you so unsatisfied?" Xia Shui looked at the clothes on the floor.

"On such a special day, I want the most beautiful clothes, the most beautiful makeup, and the most beautiful headdress. In short, I want to make the most gorgeous flower." I said, dragging my chin.

"Okay, miss, then do you want to try which red one is? Very few people wear red so that they won't collide with others. Also, miss is wearing the most beautiful piece of clothing in the first place." Xia Shui made her move on the side.

I suddenly had a flash of inspiration. That's right! When I tried on that piece of clothing before, I saw the obvious amazement in Bai Jing's eyes. Furthermore, the color was sufficient to be joyous, so I chose that one.

Cui Zhu's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, the butler requests an audience."

"Enter." Xia Shui and I put away all of the clothes on the ground, and quickly went to the outer room to get them ready.

"Miss, this is the mama that the prince invited from the palace to help Miss put on her makeup." said the butler, leading a woman in her thirties.

"Alright, I'll be troubling you, Butler." I nodded.

Just a moment ago, Xia Shui was still complaining that her poor technique would ruin her makeup, now I don't need to worry.

"Sorry for troubling you." I stepped forward and bowed to Mammy.

"Of course not, I will do my best for Miss." Mammy smiled.

This nanny was not very old and had very good maintenance. Her makeup was also very exquisite. If it weren't for the mature clothes, she would have been a beautiful young woman after she changed her clothes.

"Miss, please bathe and change your clothes first." Mammy told me.

I thought to myself, "Oh, there's nothing on the surface. Why do you need a bath? It's so troublesome. I didn't do it until last night before I went to bed, but I still have to do it."

Xia Shui and the others immediately went to heat up the water. I sat inside the house with the mama, staring at each other, "Miss, do you have any doubts?" Mammy asked, looking me in the eye.

"Actually, it's not that big of a deal. Grandma, how old are you this year? I think you're only around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, but I feel that you're more than that based on the way people address you." I looked around.

"Miss, you must be joking. I am already forty years old. I'm also an old nanny who has lived in the palace for quite some time." The mama smiled and became even more beautiful. There were only a few tiny lines at the corners of her eyes.

"Momo, your maintenance is too good. I can't tell at all from your age." I exclaimed.

"Miss, you flatter me." The mama said humbly.

"Before I came here, Senior Servant Zhang had already told me to take good care of Miss. Today, it's just as Senior Servant Zhang said, Miss is a naive and romantic person that makes people happy." Mammy smiled kindly.

"How is mama? I haven't seen her for a few days, I really miss her." I asked happily when she mentioned my rearing Mammy.

"Everything is fine. Your granny will also be attending today's banquet."

"That's great." I said happily.

"Miss, the water is ready." Just as we were happily chatting, Xia Shui came in to talk.

"Then I'll go take a bath first."

"Miss, this is the secret oil from the palace. If you put this in the water, it can make Miss's skin smoother and more exquisite, and also give her a fragrance." The nanny took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom.

"Thank you, mama." I took it and thanked her.

He came to the bathroom. "Miss, we'll serve you." Xia Shui said as he looked at me.

"You guys wait outside the curtain." I looked at the curtain and said, "Where are you guys staying? If you have any business, you can find out immediately."

Xia Shui did not insist. I took off my clothes and lied down in the bathtub, taking out the essential oil that Momo gave me. Smelling it, it smelled really good.

After a while, Xia Shui and the others came in and helped me put on my clothes. Then, they came to the mama.

"Miss, please put on your clothes first. I'll look at your makeup."

"Alright." I nodded and entered the room. Xia Shui helped me put on the red dress, I looked in the mirror and was very satisfied.

I looked at Mammy when I came out, and Mammy's eyes were full of amazement.
