The palace maid was dumbstruck.
Thinking carefully, a woman in her forties or close to fifty, no matter how well maintained, could wrinkles be eliminated and sagging cheeks be raised?
Even if all that could be done, the sunken eye sockets, the wrinkles at the corner of the eyes, and the loss of plump cheeks would only become more harrowing once the makeup was removed.
The palace maid whispered, "Hearing Your Highness say this, I feel a chill in my heart. A woman's good days are just a few years."
"Even for young and beautiful girls, few have a good sleeping appearance." Concubine Jin closed her eyes and spoke leisurely, "Let alone someone of Concubine Xian's age. Once the Emperor sees her in that state... there's no need to say it, you can imagine."
"Although that's true, this is all our speculation. What if Concubine Xian never took off her makeup?"
