Yuan Yao: "..."
Yuan Yao rubbed her forehead, looking up at the sky listlessly.
She seriously suspected that Huaiyao was a cross-dresser.
No!
Even cross-dressing men know more about makeup and skincare than she does...
Is there any hope for Huaiyao?
never mind!
Let's try to save it one more time!
Yuan Yao beckoned: "Huaiyao, come here."
"what?"
Huaiyao said warily.
Yuan Yao smiled and said, "Sit down, you'll see."
Huaiyao was skeptical.
Yuan Yao picked up a beautiful porcelain jar from the table: "Smell it, does it smell good?"
Huaiyao leaned in and smelled it, then nodded: "It smells good."
Yuan Yao smiled and turned her head, whispering a few words to the palace maid.
She then picked up the other porcelain jars and offered them to Huaiyao in turn.
After smelling it, Yuan Yao asked, "Huaiyao, does it smell good?"
"It smells good," Huaiyao said. "But Yuan Xiaoyao, what are you planning to do?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a basin of clean water was brought to her: "Princess Huaiyao, please wash your face."
Cleanse your face?
Huaiyao wiped her face and frowned: "Put the water down, this princess will wash herself."
After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves, quickly scooped up some water, and splashed it on her face several times. After that, she roughly dried herself off with a towel.
It's so rough it's astonishing.
Yuan Yao's lips twitched: "Huaiyao, do you usually wash your face like this?"
"Otherwise what?" Huaiyao retorted.
This stumped Yuan Yao.
Beside him, Huairou said helplessly, "Since she was little, Huaiyao has always liked to be free."
She washes her face and takes a bath by herself.
She wouldn't even agree to have the palace servants do anything meticulously..."
"They're so long-winded!" Huaiyao complained. "When washing your face, you have to scoop up water and gently pat it on your face. When wiping your face, you can't rub it hard; you have to gently wipe it with a towel..."
After wiping my face, I still have to apply a bunch of messy, greasy stuff.
"This is so annoying! Even I, the princess, am exhausted just listening to it!"
Yuan Yao was amused.
Although Huaiyao is a princess, she lives like a rough man!
Yuan Yao reached out and picked up a jar of face powder: "Huaiyao, let me do your makeup."
"Makeup??" Huaiyao almost jumped three meters away.
She frowned, looking at the watercolor powder in Yuan Yao's hand with a mixture of disgust and fear: "I don't want it!"
"Come on!" Yuan Yao said coquettishly, "This is the second time I've done makeup for someone, you can't dampen my enthusiasm!"
Huaiyao: "..."
Huaiyao frowned and said, "So annoying!"
She said it, but she actually sat down next to Huairou.
Huairou turned her head to the side, her eyes smiling.
Huaiyao frowned, staring at Huairou's face: "Royal sister, did Yuan Xiaoyao really put on makeup for you? I can't tell."
But... why are you acting differently than usual?
"I noticed it too, I look different from usual." Huairou said with a light smile, "However, it is precisely because it is not noticeable and I look better that it shows that Yao'er's technique is superb."
"Cough cough..." Yuan Yao blushed.
She was just blindly following her vague memories.
Surprisingly, the results were quite good.
It's all thanks to Huairou's natural beauty!
Yuan Yao picked out the bottles and jars she needed and started preparing them for Huai Yao.
Before starting, she tidied up Huaiyao's messy eyebrows...
Throughout the entire process, Huaiyao looked disgusted.
She didn't even want to look in the mirror.
For a full half hour, Huaiyao kept her eyes closed.
"Okay!"
After applying lip rouge, Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
My hands are so sore.
Huaiyao frowned and asked, "Can I open my eyes now?"
“Sure!” Yuan Yao said with a smile.
Huaiyao's eyelids twitched, and her eyes slowly opened.
Upon opening his eyes, Huaiyao was stunned, as if struck by lightning, his eyes widening in shock: "This...this is me?"
“Yes!” Yuan Yao nodded with a smile.
Huaiyao was utterly shocked.
The person in the mirror was actually her?
The Emperor of Qi disliked his concubines wearing heavy makeup.
The concubines in the palace were always very plain and simple.
Consort Lin was naturally beautiful and grew up in the military camp, so she disliked doing anything to her face.
So even when raising a daughter, they are too lazy to teach her skincare and makeup.
Having lived for fourteen years, this was the first time Huaiyao had ever worn makeup on her face...
Huaiyao reached out and gently touched her face.
Her expression was one of disbelief.
Huairou watched from the side, her smile growing even gentler: "Huaiyao looks so beautiful with makeup on."
"Really...really?" Huaiyao blushed slightly, as if she were dreaming.
“Really.” Huairou nodded.
Huaiyao touched her face and began to look at herself in the mirror from left to right.
In fact, she discovered that Yuan Yao wasn't wearing heavy makeup.
In fact, her makeup was very light.
I shaved off my messy eyebrows, applied powder, drew on my eyebrows, applied blush and lip gloss, swept the sides of my nose, and swept my jawline as well...
Huaiyao was immediately delighted: "Yuan Xiaoyao, you're really something!"
Yuan Yao smiled quite happily.
Seeing the two happy, Huairou also became happy.
My depression vanished completely...
Yuan Yao took two colors of lip gloss, mixed them slightly, and applied them to Huai Rou.
The coral red lipstick made Huairou appear even more gentle.
Just as everything was ready, the nanny came in to announce, "Princess, the auspicious time is almost here..."
Soon, the Empress led a group of concubines and palace servants into Huairou's palace...
Engagement in this era was particularly complicated.
Huairou had already been instructed by the nanny for several days when the imperial edict was issued, so she was very familiar with the process.
Yuan Yao and Huai Yao, on the other hand, were completely bewildered.
So Yuan Yao simply sat to the side and watched.
"Princess."
The sound of the lingering wind was barely audible.
Yuan Yao moved slightly.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she lifted her skirt and secretly slipped out of the bedroom.
Finding a secluded corner, Yuan Yao finally spoke: "What's wrong?"
A wisp of wind quietly landed in front of her: "Princess, His Highness Fengxun wishes to see you."
Phoenix Seeking?
Yuan Yao asked in surprise, "Is he still in Daqi?"
"Yes." Canfeng nodded: "However, this news should not be told to Princess Huairou."
Yuan Yao understood the reasoning.
Yuan Yao nodded: "Let's go, take me out of the palace."
Canfeng nodded, bent down, and picked her up.
Inside the palace, the sounds of string and wind instruments were melodious.
Canfeng carried Yuanyao out of the palace and headed towards Liuhe Street.
At an inn, Yuan Yao met Feng Xun.
After only a few hours apart, Feng Xun's face looked extremely haggard.
The bloodshot veins in his eyes were particularly noticeable.
Yuan Yao called out to him worriedly, "Feng Xun..."
Feng Xun revealed a gentle smile: "Yao'er, I'm sorry to ask you to leave the palace now."
Yuan Yao shook her head, her heart aching, and said, "Feng Xun, don't be too sad, Sister Huairou, she..."
“I know,” Feng Xun said. “Huai Rou has me in her heart.”
Yuan Yao pursed her lips.
Feng Xun looked at her gently: "Yao'er has grown quite a bit taller, and her face is thinner. Have you not been eating properly?"
Yuan Yao's nose tingled with emotion: "I've been eating properly!"
Feng Xun's smile widened: "I'm far away in Xiqiu, and I can't take care of you."
From now on, you must eat well and obey His Majesty's orders.
“Mmm…” Yuan Yao nodded obediently.
Feng Xun raised his hand and touched her head, his gentle eyes filled with sorrow:
Huairou wants me to go back to Xiqiu, so I'm going back to Xiqiu...
I so want to kill Kong Baiyan and take Huairou and you back to Xiqiu.
But I can't...
So, Yao'er, I need your help with something, is that alright?
