Time Travel: Pampered by the Aloof Prince-Chapter 15 - Nature Works in Your Favor

She had always been casual, usually tying her hair into a simple and convenient knot at the back of her head with a red string.

Although there were maids in the Prince Residence who could do her makeup, Qi Yu couldn’t be bothered to spend time dressing up unless she was going out.

If it had not been for living in ancient times, she would have even considered cutting off all her hair.

Through the mirror, Gui nanny saw Qi Yu’s almond eyes widen slightly with curiosity as she looked left and right for a while, and she couldn’t help but smile to herself; the Princess still had the heart of a child.

After finishing the hairstyle, it was time for makeup; the women of Dazhao preferred a tender makeup look, especially fond of pink blush, which brought a natural softness and beauty to the face.

Previously, when Qi Yu made herself look ugly, she smeared various colors of blush on her face haphazardly, looking anything but soft and being universally shunned.

Now that her makeup was removed, Gui nanny couldn’t help but feel pity at the sight of the scars on her face.

She had always been accurate at judging people, and by bone structure alone, their own Princess was indeed a beauty.

However, it was a pity that her face bore several ugly scars.

Otherwise, standing beside the Prince, they would have been a rare and perfectly matched pair in the capital city.

After feeling sorry for a moment, she then asked, “Princess, what kind of makeup would you like?”

Qi Yu thought that since the occasion she was attending today was quite formal, she couldn’t possibly show up with a face full of garish colors.

It would not only lose her face but also the reputation of Prince Qiu Residence.

After pondering, she took out a box of powder she had prepared herself and applied some on her face.

In an instant, the black and red scars faded significantly, and the original owner’s devastatingly beautiful face gradually revealed itself.

But she had no intention of removing the scars all at once.

If those people found out her face had healed, there’s no telling what they would do to target her again.

“Princess, this is…”

Gui nanny was shocked to see her apply something to her face like magic, causing the unsightly scars to fade so much.

Could the Princess possess some form of Demon Art?

Looking at the reflection in the mirror, Qi Yu saw a face that resembled her original one by about fifty percent; somewhat familiar, it wasn’t too hard to accept.

Touching her smooth skin, she couldn’t help but sigh—it was truly flawless, the envy of Qi Anran was understandable.

“Nanny, how do you think I look?” Qi Yu asked softly.

Nanny Gui regained her composure and hurriedly complimented, “Princess, you possess a celestial grace unmatched in the capital.”

Qi Yu gave a faint smile, not taking it seriously, “Nanny is just flattering me.”

Right now, although her face had partially recovered, it was still not to the point of being unmatched, and still fell short compared to Qi Anran.

But what Nanny Gui said was indeed heartfelt.

Having served the Virtuous Consort in the palace for over thirty years, she had seen all manner of beauties.

Within the palace, beauties like the Noble Consort were heavily made up, lacking a sense of ethereal grace.

But upon her first sight of Qi Yu today, she felt dazzled.

Beauty lies in the bones, not the skin; she was certain that the wife of Prince Qiu must not be as ugly as the rumors claimed.

Nanny Gui used cosmetics to cover the scars on her face and then carefully applied her makeup.

She could tell that the wife of Prince Qiu had a vivid and grand beauty, not requiring the delicate and dainty look of lesser women to adorn her.

With her lips touched up red, her once dim complexion instantly took on a captivating elegance.

Qi Yu, observing the gradual transformation in the mirror, thought to herself, “With only half of my beauty restored I can have such an effect; if I were to fully recover, wouldn’t I be a nation-toppling beauty?”

By then, Qi Anran might just die of spite.

After changing into an elaborate dress, she walked out of the side courtyard slowly surrounded by her maids.

Nanny Gui followed beside her, sighing silently to herself.

Without those scars, the Princess would certainly be the woman most well-matched to the Prince in the entire capital.

In the front courtyard, Li Mingjue had been waiting.

Seeing the fully made-up and properly dressed person approach, he was somewhat taken aback.

“Your face…” He frowned slightly, not knowing what Qi Yu had done.

Her face had recovered greatly.

Without being told, who would think that the face belonged to Qi Family’s second young mistress, known as the fool in the capital?

Qi Yu arched her eyebrow slightly, “What, do I not look good?”

Li Mingjue averted his gaze, feeling a bit of heat in his ears.

Naturally, she looked good, so stunning that he was almost spellbound earlier.

“It’s getting late; it’s time to go to the palace.”

He cleared his throat, took Qi Yu’s hand, and led her to the carriage waiting outside the door, helping her up.

After getting on the carriage, he then asked, “Why did you suddenly decide to show your true face today?”

Qi Yu, pressed by the weight of her jewelry, could only sit upright, which made her seem much more composed than usual.

She slightly opened her red lips and spoke softly, “Naturally, it’s to preserve face for you.”

Li Mingjue had not expected it to be for such a reason.

After a long pause, he said quietly, “You are the wife of Prince Qiu; even without dressing up, your status is enough to overshadow them all.”

Qi Yu’s bright eyes twinkled, and the golden hairpin with its shining rubies on her head also shimmered, giving her an exceptionally radiant appearance.

A smile curled on the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were full of mockery, “They all just want to wait and see me make a fool of myself, don’t they?

I will simply not grant them their wish.”
