Chapter 156

It was only a two hour flight from Shengjing to Hang City. Rong Dai's joyful mood had not yet dissipated when she arrived on the ground.

It was drizzling in Hang City today. Looking at the sky in Hang City, Rong Dai had thousands of thoughts in her mind.

Who could have imagined what the world would look like after a millennium of change? The extent of the changes were beyond what people from a millennium ago could have imagined.

"It will take some time to get from here to the film and television city. What transportation will you take to get there?"

Qiao Wanzhou did not put on the airs of a big star. Even though there was just a drizzle, the weather was still sultry. She wore a duck bill cap, mask, sunglasses, and had her face wrapped up tight.

"I booked high-speed rail tickets. But we have to leave the airport first and go to the high-speed rail station in Hang City. Sister Qiao, are you driving?"

Huo Mei Shu glanced at the itinerary. She had memorized her sister-in-law's schedule over the past few days. Otherwise, she would be the one suffering if she didn't take good care of her sister-in-law.

Qiao Wanzhou said a few words to her agent next to her, then looked around, "Okay, let's meet up when we get to the film and television city."

"Although I'm eye-catching, your sister-in-law here isn't weak either. Pay attention to safety." She waved at them and left with her agent.

The sisters-in-law went to the high speed rail station and booked business class seats. After much trouble, they finally arrived at the film and television city.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think of this hotel? If you don't like it, we can book a different one, but it might be further away."

"I checked - there are several TV shows filming in the film and television city recently, and the hotels nearby are all similar." Huo Mei Shu led her into the hotel.

Rong Dai looked around the hotel and nodded, "It's already very good, let's just stay here."

Although the imperial palace in her previous life was magnificent and luxurious, she was not the kind of affected, pretentious person who had to live somewhere just as extravagant as the palace before she would be satisfied.

This was a five-star hotel with amenities like a garden, swimming pool, and gym. The facilities were very comprehensive.

"Okay, my room is next to yours. The driver will bring up the luggage soon. Don't close your door first. I'll go take a look at my room."

Huo Mei Shu was in a good mood and hummed a tune as she went out.

Rong Dai sat in the chair by the window. She had been very happy before getting on the plane, but now that initial excitement had worn off and she was starting to feel a little tired.

The room the little sister-in-law had thoughtfully chosen had a nice view outside the window where you could see the film and television city complex in the distance.

After the luggage was delivered, Rong Dai changed into her own bedding she had brought from home, and replaced the toiletries and hung up her clothes.

To make it convenient for her to study, Huo Shao Ting had bought her a whole set of electronic devices.

Rong Dai took out the laptop, tablet, and other devices and placed them on the desk, and also put the whole box of scripts in place.

By the time she had everything organized, it was dusk.

"Sister-in-law, have you settled in? Dinner is at 7pm. We still have time to rest. Do you want to rest or go downstairs and walk around?" Huo Mei Shu came over from next door when she saw Rong Dai had just about finished unpacking, and asked her.

Rong Dai wiped her hands and looked out the window at the scenery.

"I want to take a bath to unwind. Do you want to take a bath too? Do you know where Junior Martial Brother is staying?"

She remembered that Junior Martial Uncle had come a few days earlier, and Lu Ye had come even earlier, after attending little sister-in-law's concert.

Huo Mei Shu nodded. When she saw Rong Dai's makeup-free face, she suddenly snapped her fingers, "I almost forgot!"

She rushed out again. Rong Dai smiled helplessly.

Little sister-in-law's enthusiastic personality really was lovable. She was happy herself and made others happy too.

Soon, Huo Mei Shu came back hugging four or five bags full of skincare and makeup products.

"What are these?" Rong Dai was puzzled.

"Skincare and makeup!"

Huo Mei Shu put the things on the sofa and clapped her hands. She reached out and touched Rong Dai's cheeks.

"Sister-in-law, your skin is so good - smooth and delicate. You have to take good care of such nice skin. I've invited a very good skincare expert and makeup artist who should arrive tomorrow."

"These skincare products are for moisturizing, anti-aging, especially moisturizing and deep cleansing. You must use them! Nice skin relies on good maintenance."

"Especially since you'll be wearing makeup for filming. Although you look very beautiful without makeup too, sister-in-law, filming is different. Stage makeup contains a certain amount of metals. You have to take good care of your face!"

"Otherwise, if something happens, big brother will definitely kill me!"

Huo Mei Shu explained as she opened up the packages for her.

Rong Dai was a little amused seeing the pile of bottles and jars the little sister-in-law had prepared for her, all high-end brands.

She understood the sister-in-law's intentions, so she didn't refuse.

But she had other ideas in her mind. In her previous life, she already knew about women's skincare regimens.

Many unmarried young ladies in the inner chambers were very knowledgeable about skincare. Ever since the Imperial Concubine entered the palace, the Emperor had grown increasingly cold towards her, and even had the Imperial Concubine help manage the affairs of the six palaces.

This made her much more free, since women in the previous life didn't have as many hobbies as modern women.

She had time to ponder many things, and had deeply grasped the essence of skincare.

With medical science so advanced nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine had declined.

But in her previous life, there was only Chinese medicine, and Western medical techniques had not yet been introduced.

The essence that ancestors had passed down, and all those flowers and plants, each had their own wonderful uses.

"When I have time, I'll also make some lip balm...lipstick, blush, and some skincare creams and lotions. I'll research it when I have the chance."

Rong Dai said as she helped the little sister-in-law unpack.

She knew her skin was good - fair as snow, delicate as a petal, smooth and soft. She certainly didn't want to ruin such nice skin. Most modern products contained additives and were far inferior to all-natural ones.

"Sister-in-law, what else can you not do?"

Huo Mei Shu was stunned. Her sister-in-law seemed to be able to do everything!

Rong Dai smiled. If they really got down to it, besides some modern things she didn't know how to do, she was proficient in pretty much everything else.

Zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, horse riding, archery, cooking - she could do it all.

"You'll have to slowly find that out yourself."

Rong Dai evaded giving a direct answer. Although she also wanted to conceal these talents as much as possible, the things she had learned in her previous life were still useful here.

Also, in her previous life she had spent considerable effort to learn these skills, so she was reluctant to just abandon them.

Therefore, as long as it was something she could make use of here, she would not deliberately hide her abilities.

Excellence itself was not a bad thing. The more excellent one was, the farther one could see, the more one could engage with, and the clearer one would be about what one wanted.

"When you've made them, give me a set to try too. Although these brands are international luxury brands, they aren't all-natural either. I don't know how the women of ancient China maintained their beauty in the past?"

Huo Mei Shu sighed as she unpacked. Rong Dai helped her and smiled silently.

Every era had its own unique methods. It was indeed a pity that some things were lost.
