Yun Chunnuan carefully searched for the memories belonging to the Little Princess.
She found none of the things she worried about.
Although a bit arrogant and domineering, she was a passionate soul.
The Regent King…
A remarkably handsome face appeared in Yun Chunnuan's mind.
"Princess, the water is ready! It's still warm, wash your face quickly!"
At this moment, Qiao'er came running in with a silver basin.
Seeing the Little Princess sitting there, staring blankly at the mirror, she lightened her steps and carefully closed the door.
"Princess, what are you thinking about?"
Yun Chunnuan's Liu Mei furrowed as she tried to recall the memories of the Little Princess, almost all of which were in her mind, yet why she was sent to Bianliao was something she just couldn't remember.
She could only recall that this Seventh Princess of Great Xia, who shared her name, caused quite a commotion when she learned she was to be sent to Bianliao for an arranged marriage.
Her opportunistic father, who was the emperor, had confined her to the Princess Mansion, and on the night before her wedding, the Regent King, whom she secretly loved, paid a visit, and the next day she obediently got on the carriage.
But what did the Regent King say to the Little Princess?
Yun Chunnuan couldn't recall a single thing.
She pinched the bridge of her nose, attributing this lost memory to a glitch in crossing over into this body.
Maybe it will gradually come back.
"It's nothing."
Yun Chunnuan set down the bronze mirror and got up to wash her face.
When she returned, Qiao'er had already taken out various ancient cosmetics, rouge and powder, from a big chest and began applying them to her face.
Looking at the once stunningly beautiful girl in the mirror, now garishly dolled up after Qiao'er's fussing, she couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.
Qiao'er also tilted her head to look at her. The more she looked, the more she felt something wasn't right.
She had used the same technique she applied when she did Miss Nalan's makeup! How did it make Miss Nalan look prettier, but the Little Princess seemed less attractive than before?
Qiao'er scratched her head, a bit deflated, "Princess, how about you wash your face again, and I'll give it another try? My skills are really good! Miss Nalan was always proud of me before!"
Seeing the Little Princess frown, Qiao'er quickly added, "Miss Nalan is the General's sister! His biological sister! She entered the palace to accompany the Queen a month ago! Please don't misunderstand, Princess!"
Yun Chunnuan shook her head. No matter how many women that brute had, she didn't care; it just irked her a little.
Looking at the reflection with visibly diminished beauty in the bronze mirror, she smiled, "Thank you, Qiao'er. It's fine like this."
"Really?" Qiao'er began to doubt her own judgment, "Then, shall I do the Princess's hair?"
"Okay, thank you."
Qiao'er blushed, "You're too polite, Princess! It's my duty!"
With one hand holding a wooden comb and the other brushing through the girl's silky, glossy black hair, Qiao'er couldn't help but exclaim, "Princess, you're the most perfect woman I've ever seen. Not only beautiful, but even your hair is wonderful! General is so lucky! If I were a man, I'd snatch you away to be my bride!"
"Pfft!" Yun Chunnuan couldn't contain her laughter, "If our General hears that, you'll get into trouble. Although, I do think he's quite fortunate."
"Hahaha!" Qiao'er's laughter was bright and cheerful, "No, he won't! Don't be fooled by our General's fierceness; he's really a good person! Completely different from those young masters! Our General not only fights in battles but also writes poetry and composes prose! He's the most knowledgeable person in our Bianliao!
By the way, Princess, I'll tell you a secret: the General, he's actually the King's son!"
