361. Chapter 361: Adding Makeup

Feng Ye has been keeping an eye on this position for more than a day or two; now that the Emperor gave it to Shi Lin, how can he be at ease?

But because the previous several assassination attempts all failed.

Feng Ye didn't dare to act again so lightly.

April 15th.

The Emperor and the ministers of the court all received Shi Lin's wedding invitation, which naturally also included Prince Xuan's family.

Feng Ye narrowed his eyes at the matter, thinking that rising in rank, gaining wealth, and marrying a beloved woman made Shi Lin's fate too fortunate.

He didn't want him to live so happily.

After thinking it over.

Feng Ye decided to go after Qiao Sheng.

But he didn't expect.

Shi Lin had already guarded against this; he not only prohibited people from the other courtyard from coming and going at will, but also assigned many people to protect Qiao Sheng, and he himself stayed close by at night.

In his view, there was no rule that they couldn't meet the day before the marriage.

Anyway, he could do as he wished.

No one could stop him.

After learning this, Feng Ye decided to act the next day; he still didn't believe that Shi Lin could stay by Qiao Sheng's side continuously.

The night passed peacefully.

Before dawn, Lan Yue Niang and the others called out for Qiao Sheng to get up, bathe, and dress.

The full-service staff who did Qiao Sheng's makeup and dressing were hired by Xie Yin; that woman is her good friend, so there was no problem at all.

Not only that.

She also put special care into dressing Qiao Sheng.

Seeing the dressed Qiao Sheng, Qiao Xuehua couldn't hide her excitement and said, "Big sister, you look so beautiful like this."

Usually Qiao Sheng rarely wears makeup, and when she does, it's only light makeup.

Today is the marriage.

Light makeup obviously wouldn't suffice.

So she went for heavy makeup.

What they called heavy makeup was basically just drawing eyebrows, applying eyeliner, a touch of eyeshadow, and staining the lips with red paper.

The heavily made‑up Qiao Sheng not only avoided any tackiness, but also added a few touches of charm.

People who glanced at her couldn't help looking again.

Hearing her own Simmei say that.

Qiao Sheng laughed, "Was my original look not pretty?"

"It was pretty, but today it's more beautiful than any day before."

Qiao Xuehua declared, her voice striking the ground.

Lan Yue Niang said beside them, "It's all thanks to Sister Lin's dressing…"

Lin Huiyu smiled with her eyebrows and eyes as she spoke.

"Lan girl, you don't know this: Qiao Sheng's makeup wasn't entirely done by me; she herself put in a lot of effort. So the current beauty is mainly thanks to her own work…"

As soon as she finished speaking,

Qiao Sheng replied, "Aunt Lin, you're being modest; if you hadn't coordinated with me so well, I couldn't have created such a bridal makeup."

Not long after,

Qiao Lanhua and Qiao Xuehua presented their makeup gifts.

Qiao Lanhua gave a set of fine jadeite jewelry, while Qiao Xuehua gave a set of gold jewelry that covered head to toe.

Qiao Sheng truly hadn't expected them to be so generous.

When she wondered why they spent so much money on so many pieces of jewelry,

Qiao Xuehua whispered to her that the money came from Shi Lin.

Qiao Sheng felt deeply moved upon learning this; Shi Lin's act was simply to prevent outsiders from looking down on her or her family.

After all, today's makeup guests weren't only them; there were others as well.

Some of them Qiao Sheng didn't even know.

They were Xie Yin's friends, as well as their daughters.

Xiao Shitou and his group arrived last.

Technically, they weren't required to give any makeup gifts.

But they insisted on giving.

Lan Yue Niang and the others couldn't argue with them, so they let them proceed.

Xiao Shitou presented a jade hairpin that he bought with his own savings.

Shi Yun gave a night‑bright pearl that had been passed down from his grandmother.

Shi Jin gave Qiao Sheng a golden lucky cat; he hadn't known such an item existed until Qiao Sheng mentioned it, after which he had someone make one for her.

Shi Ren gave toys, all brand new, saying they were for the future children of Shi Lin and Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng couldn't help but be both amused and exasperated.
