Yun Chunnuan: "!!!"
Goodness gracious!
What a letdown!
She had put on exquisite makeup, hoping to outshine everyone.
Especially those damned beasts ready to mock her husband!
Yun Chunnuan, whether in her past or present life, has always been gentle and polite, treating others with kindness, but the premise is...
Neither she nor her loved ones were hurt.
If they were, she wouldn’t hesitate to strike back fiercely!
But... these panda eyes!
How can she outshine everyone?
Boohoo, women only feel confident after putting on makeup, okay?
Seeing her unhappy look, Yelyu Lie gently wiped away the smudged, black stuff under her eyes, not knowing what it was, and comforted her softly, "My wife, even without makeup or fancy clothes, is more beautiful than anyone in this world."
"Nonsense! With panda eyes, how can I be pretty!"
The Little Princess was a bit irritable, all because of him, making her cry with emotion!
She already had low sensitivity to tears, and now it’s even lower to the point of absurdity!
Absurd!
The usually soft-spoken Little Princess was now as agitated as a frantic little wildcat.
Yelyu Lie couldn’t help but smile, finding her even more lively and adorable like this.
But how could he bear to let her be unhappy?
"Sweetheart, don’t be upset. Freshen up and dress again, I’ll chat with those Palace Attendants for a bit and wait for you."
"That won’t do," Yun Chunnuan grabbed him with her small hand, "It’s not good to keep people waiting, in case..."
"There’s no ’in case.’ We’ll first go to mother-in-law for tea upon entering the palace, and only appear after everyone arrives. Mother said this is called ’saving the best for last,’ understand?"
Looks like the future mother-in-law learned quite a few modern terms from the Grandmaster.
"I’ll hurry, you take them to rest first."
"Okay, take your time, my lady. Even if we arrive when the banquet ends, so what? We’re meant to outshine and give those dogs a lesson! Take your time, don’t rush or worry."
He planted a kiss on the girl’s forehead before standing up to leave.
Yun Chunnuan felt she was so hopelessly moved, no matter what the man said or did, he always touched the softest spot in her heart.
Men, this species, always find women’s troubles annoying.
Even the father she always thought was the best man in the world, without exception, would complain about women’s troubles when her mother put on makeup.
And yet, her Barbarian General, even at such an important moment, was willing to find a hundred excuses to comfort her...
Hmm, there might be one more best man in the world now.
Looking at the white screen not far, remembering his not-so-nimble shadow puppet show just now,
Yun Chunnuan felt sweetness in her heart.
Soon, Qiao’er brought hot water. After washing her face, she didn’t waste much time redoing the intricate makeup she had before.
She quickly applied the basic trio of foundation, lipstick, and mascara, lightly drew her eyebrows, and only slightly extended the eyeliner at the corner of her eye.
Appearing again before the Barbarian General took less than half an hour.
Her fresh and charming look truly amazed the little eunuch.
He couldn’t help but blurt out a compliment, "The General’s wife is truly a mortal world beauty! I thought the Princess Consort was Bianliao’s most beautiful woman, but unexpectedly..."
At this point, he quickly shut up, remembering his master wasn’t the General’s wife!
Yelyu Lie loved hearing people praise his little wife. Overjoyed, the usually thrifty him pulled off his money pouch and rewarded the little eunuch, "A teachable lad, speak more if you can, don’t hold back."
Yun Chunnuan couldn’t help but laugh secretly, seeing the little eunuch look as if a pie fell from the sky, unsure whether to accept.
"Alright, let’s enter the palace quickly, mother might be anxious waiting."
The two got on the carriage prepared by the Princess Consort. Yelyu Lie’s solid build filled the spacious carriage, leaving room for only one more person.
The little eunuch sat outside against the chilling wind, thinking the Great Xia Princess differed greatly from her reputed image.
If she entered the Royal Palace, who knows what waves she’d stir up.
The princes once feigned illness at their residences to avoid this arranged marriage, fearing they’d charm the troublesome and supposedly ugly Great Xia Princess.
