"Brother Yun said you love it when people call you 'Big Sister,' and if you don't, he'll send you to a brothel." The princess spoke of her beloved with a joyful expression, her eyes seemingly brimming with light.
But since her sweetheart's surname is Yun, it can't possibly be my little chubby boy! That scared me to death! (Author's perspective: You're practically ignoring your troublesome little brother! The princess has already given such obvious hints.)
I wiped the cold sweat from my brow, removed my veil, and then asked her.
"How do you know these things about me? Why do you say you want to return Ji Ruchen to me? Do you want to elope with someone?"
It's surprising that this princess, despite her young age, is so bold to have such thoughts. Is the culture of An Kingdom really this open?
"Sister, don't ask about these past events. You'll know in time."
As she spoke, she looked at my face, as if she couldn't bear it, and unconsciously touched her nose.
I wisely kept quiet and put the veil I had just taken off back on.
I suppose I applied too much powder last night and scared the young girl. My apologies.
Then I thought, I'm just here to cause trouble for others, why am I suddenly feeling sorry for her? Even if she's always shown that she doesn't like Ji Ruchen, she did steal my man, didn't she?
And how come the person I cherish so dearly has become like dog shit to be thrown away at will, given away without a second thought?
Should I be happy that she's blind, or should I be angry that she's blind? A princess of a nation, giving up her position as the crown princess, actually wants to elope with some unknown wild man.
Knowing my dark past, yet still gossiping about it to the girl you love, your character must be questionable. How can you compare to my peerless beauty, Ji Ruchen? (Yes, yes, even Ji Ruchen's farts smell sweet.)
After thinking it over, I quietly took off the veil.
"Sister, your makeup is a trendy style, but it doesn't suit you. I've recently learned a few new makeup techniques, one of which really complements your temperament. Why don't I help you with your hair and makeup?"
My nominal rival, Princess Anguo, watched me take off and put on my veil repeatedly, and after a moment of stunned silence, she uttered these words.
After thinking about it, I nodded and agreed.
I was worried that my current face would attract unwanted attention and upset Ji Ruchen.
But things are different now. I've lost my martial arts skills, and Ji Ruchen has been stolen from me. What do I have to worry about? Maybe this face will be useful to her in getting Ji Ruchen back in the future.
The room suddenly became crowded with people, a whole bunch of maids and servants, some carrying rouge, some carrying pearl hairpins, some carrying bath basins, and others waiting to serve, a dozen or so people in total.
It's just a matter of applying makeup, drawing eyebrows, and combing hair. Why make such a big fuss? No wonder she's a princess. She's putting on quite a show. She's obviously not an ordinary person.
Despite my surprise, I obediently went to wash my face.
Last night I only caught a fleeting glimpse and was so captivated that I covered it with powder to avoid trouble. I wanted to see just how good-looking I really was.
After a lot of effort, it's finally over. This shows that the princess doesn't often take care of herself, which must have been quite a hassle for her.
I couldn't wait to grab the mirror and examine my face closely, which was similar yet unfamiliar.
A line of poetry I'd heard somewhere suddenly came to mind: "Her beauty is unparalleled, her fragrance unmatched; for whom does it spread?"
