Due to her recent illness, Lin Yanran's complexion appeared somewhat pale and dull, making her look a bit haggard.
Lin Yanran looked at herself in the bronze mirror, frowned dissatisfied, and ordered the maid to bring the finest rouge, applying layer after layer until her cheeks were as rosy as peach blossoms, feeling satisfied.
Mrs. Qin worried she might tire herself, and advised, "Yan'er, born naturally beautiful and flawless as jade, needs only a touch of powder to surpass countless women, without the need for such extravagance."
Lin Yanran, however, disagreed, "I am to meet the Crown Prince soon, how can I be careless?"
Mrs. Qin was somewhat helpless, "Yan'er's beauty, how could the Crown Prince not know? You are still ill and cannot..."
Before Mrs. Qin could finish, Lin Yanran interrupted, "It's precisely because I'm ill that I must dress up well; I can't let the Crown Prince see my imperfect side."
