Chapter 144 - Entering the Palace (3)Chapter 144 – Entering the Palace (3)
Ye Zhen heard Old Madam Lu’s scream and touched her face instinctively.
Her eyes were red as she spoke morosely. “Grandma, I only found these when I woke up. What should I do? I can’t hide it with rouge as it appears even more uglier.”
With her mouth still agape, Old Madam Lu’s face reflected utmost dread and frustration. Her eyes ogled on the red dots marring her granddaughter’s beautiful face.
She originally wanted to parade Lu Yaoyao’s beauty to the palace so that she can have good marriage in the future.
Now she look at Lu Yaoyao and thinks that there was no way those dots won’t be noticed. Several were in the middle of her forehead, which was an eyesore.

“But why did it appear now of all time? Now that our Yaoyao will be visiting the palace!” Old Madam. Lu was almost out of control. At this time, there was no way she could turn down Lu Wushuang’s invite.
When all hopes seemed gone, Pei Shi suddenly said, “The dots on her cheeks are not obvious, but the ones on her forehead have grown in cluster. I do have a way to cover those.”
Ye Zhen looked at her with a jerk and a slight twitch of her mouth.
Old Madam Lu asked hastily, “What can you do?”
“Mother, please wait a moment.” Pei Shi said with a smile and took Ye Zhen’s hand, leading her out of the room.
After about a quarter of an hour, Pei Shi reappeared with Ye Zhen. Old Madam Lu’s worried face was replaced by joy instantly. “Now she looks more charming than usual!”
Ye Zhen’s forehead was delicately painted with petal, and her cheeks were expertly covered with rouge. If one doesn’t look carefully, the red spots on her face would not be noticed at all. Her skin looked as soft as tofu. If anything else, she looked more attractive and gorgeous.
“Women in border town used to paint petals on the crease of their foreheads which this daughter-in-law remembered. As you can see, it enhances a woman’s beauty.”
Old Madam Lu nodded with satisfaction, “Yes, you can teach the girls in the family how to make those.” Her most favorite was to dress her granddaughters up like a fairy.
If this was a normal occasion, Ye Zhen must have pestered Pei Shi to teach her how to paint the petals, but today she didn’t like it at all. She purposely allowed red spots on her face in a self-destructive way. Now that she thinks about it, she should. It is useless.
Old Madam Lu happily led depressed Ye Zhen out of the house. Seeing her silent and looking miserable, she thought she was just nervous so she took her hand. “The Wang Fei is your cousin. Although you don’t live together, you two are sisters! You must not feel nervous.”
In response, Ye Zhen gave a nervous laugh and uttered, “Yes, grandma.”
In fact, she was not nervous at all. Her soul was trapped in the palace for two years. She was no stranger to that place. She just didn’t want to see Lu Wushuang.

Some imperial officials came to meet Old Madam Lu. Ye Zhen walked behind her with her head bowed down. But even so, she didn’t need to look around her surroundings as she knew every nook and crook of this very place...
During the two years she was trapped here as a ghost, she was around Mo Rongzhan during the day and could only stay away from him at night. For some reason, she felt burning pain all over her body whenever she kept her distance from him except when its night...
During those two years, her heart was full of hatred, and now she has entered the palace again. Her mood has been calm and all hatred has been well restrained.
Unconsciously, they have already arrived at the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
The imperial secretary, who was leading the way for Old Madam Lu looked back and saw Ye Zhen raise her head. She was so shocked that she halted in her steps.
Unaware of this, Ye Zhen followed Old Madam Lu into the hall of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. Lu Wushuang could be seen sitting at the top of the table, dressed in a brocade robe with a silver-purple phoenix tail pattern, looking bright, elegant, and charming.
She had a gentle smile on her face as her eyes skipped over her grandma and fell on the person behind, her third sister Lu Yaoyao.
