However, this mummy version of herself was still too pretty. She needed to make herself even uglier.
“Lüya, give me makeup with a hideous green face and terrifying fangs. The best would be to make me look like a female ghost.”
Lüya instantly collapsed to the floor in defeat!
“Miss, I’ve never seen a ghost before, so I don’t know what one looks like. But if you do that, your intention to deliberately cause trouble will become far too obvious. It’s better to stay a little restrained and make yourself look like some gaudy, vulgar woman from the pleasure quarters instead. Aren’t those people the type who despise merchants the most? Dressing like that would suit the occasion perfectly.”
“Lüya, you’re getting smarter and smarter. Come here, let me give you a kiss~~~”

When Jin Luoluo appeared in the reception hall—
Xiao Che and Xiao Yu were drinking tea. The moment they accidentally caught sight of Jin Luoluo, both of them simultaneously spat out their tea all over each other with a loud “Pfft!”
“Luoluo, why are you dressed like this? Weren’t your arms and legs almost healed already?”
Xiao Yu stared at her with wide eyes, looking her up and down. Her arms and legs were wrapped so thickly in bandages that they looked like giant barrels. Even people wounded on the battlefield and missing limbs were nowhere near as exaggerated as she was.
“Don’t even mention it. Yesterday, after hearing I’d be entering the palace, I got too excited. In the middle of the night I rolled around all over my bed and accidentally rolled off it, injuring my arms and legs again. To be on the safe side, I specially wrapped them up extra tightly. Don’t worry, it’s just a minor matter.”
Xiao Che’s gaze shifted from her heavily wrapped limbs to her face. Her skin was so white with powder that it looked as though she had plastered flour onto her face. Her lips were painted blood-red like a giant bloody mouth, and the rouge on her cheeks looked as if someone had slapped her twice. She carried the frivolous and flirtatious air of a cheap courtesan. The instant he saw her, his temper rose.
“Jin Luoluo, do you think your face is a wall? You’ve piled on powder so thick that a layer falls off every time you take a step. Weren’t you perfectly fine looking simple and natural before? Why make yourself look so gaudy and flashy?”
The Empress hated vulgar women the most, and she especially disliked women who dressed in an overly seductive and flashy way. Wouldn’t Jin Luoluo’s appearance completely destroy any good impression the Empress might have had of her?
Jin Luoluo immediately began acting like an exaggerated flirt. She seductively lifted a finger to brush through her hair, posing coquettishly and showing off in an extremely affected manner.
“I’m entering the palace, so of course I have to dress myself up properly. How can I go looking as casual as I usually do? Otherwise people will look down on the Jin family. That’s why I deliberately dressed myself up to look so glamorous and stunning—I want everyone’s eyes to light up the moment they see me, so they’ll never be able to forget me.”
