Chapter 38: Drawing Eyebrows for You (Text)

  Carrying a lantern, walking slowly on the road of Wangfu, every fifty steps on both sides of the road would stand an iron lamp post, with a pattern of wooden flower carved on it. The faint candlelight illuminated this short section of road. A gentle breeze blew by, blowing up the purple leaf-like hem of her clothes. Most of the servants had gone to listen to stories in front, and at this moment, there were only a few people inside Wangfu. As she walked to the door of Yunying, she heard the helpless voice of a little servant girl.

  "Quickly put it on, Young Master Yun Cong. This is specially tailored by the Prince himself at the Nai Rong Workshop. It's something that can't be found anywhere else in the world." The little servant's tone was full of envy as he looked at the exquisite clothes that seemed almost unreal. He was clearly moved by the sight. The Prince really doted on Young Master Yun Cong, and having heard from other servants that a wonderful story was being performed up ahead, he had been eager to go, but Young Master Yun Cong refused to change into it no matter what.

  "You go down first, I'll think about it some more." Yun Ning's voice came with a slight hesitation, as she sat on the edge of the bed, repeatedly touching the set of clothes.

  The little servant looked at Yun Cong, still with an uncertain expression, but his curiosity got the better of him and he wanted to hear the story. So he said again, "Yun Cong young master, hurry up, the king is already waiting in the front hall." He retreated from the room, opened the door, and saw Zi Ruoye standing outside.

  The little servant who was startled quickly paid his respects, but was stopped by Purple Leaf. With a smile that was not quite a smile, he said softly, "Is Yun Cong still inside?"

  The little servant nodded dully, and Zi Ruoye told him to go to the front hall to listen to stories. He walked lightly over and entered the room, where he saw Yun Cong staring blankly at the garment. He couldn't help but remind her, "If you keep looking like that, the clothes won't suddenly grow flowers either."

  "Your Highness!" Upon hearing Zi Ruoye's voice, Yun Ning suddenly woke up, her watery eyes still filled with a hint of uncertainty. "Your Highness... how did you get here?"

  Zi Ruoye didn't answer, but instead walked forward, picked up the garment and stood in front of Yun Cong, softly asking, "Do you like this garment?"

  Yun Cong looked at the clothes in her hand, and his fingers involuntarily clenched his own skirt. "This dress is too expensive." The exquisite workmanship, even the pearls embedded on it were something he had never seen before, not even in the entire Purple Mystic Country.

  "It's just a piece of clothing, hurry up and put it on. As soon as Yun Cong put on the clothes for the first time, I want to be the first one to see it." She leaned in close, blinked her eyes, and without saying another word, stuffed the clothes into his hands, then said again, "This is specially tailored by a master at my request."

  "This guy! He's still worried about whether to attend, how could he make a decision for him without even giving him time to explain?! Just as he was about to say something, Zi Yueye's fingertips gently pressed against his lips, blinked her eyes, and spoke in a voice he had never heard before, with a tone that seemed to carry the emotions he had always longed for. "Don't speak, I'll wait for you, hurry up and change, I want to let the world know that Yun Cong is a heavenly fairy who accidentally entered my palace."

  Looking at the figure of Zi Ruoye, except for his inner room, his face turned red with shame. However, when he heard those words, he no longer refused to appear in front of everyone. He picked up that one-of-a-kind pink dress and put it on piece by piece.

  After a while, Yun Cong dressed neatly and called out softly, "Your Highness, you can come in now."

  After entering, Ziyue saw Yun Cong and was stunned for a long time. Indeed, she had accidentally entered the palace of this fairy, and this dress really suited him.

  A white lining, with lotus-leaf sleeves, wearing two layers of pink-purple gauze outside, one layer deep and one layer shallow. The collar is edged with fine golden silk thread, and the waist is also edged with pink-purple gold thread. In the middle, there are golden threads embroidered with peach blossoms. Layer upon layer of peach blossoms look elegant without being too elaborate. On the hanging pouch, there are pink pearl-like beads that truly embody the beauty of the peach blossoms.

  "Prince..." Looking at her, he was lost in thought, but Yun Cong's cheeks were crimson red, with a boyish shyness that was hard to ignore. If no one called him, he might have remained stunned for a long time.

  "Immortal Peach Blossom, don't get lost..." Zi Ruoye smiled and stretched out her hand, grasping Yun Cong's hand, leading him to the dressing table. "Today... I will paint your eyebrows for you."

  She picked up the eyebrow pencil and carefully painted on her eyebrows, but Yun Qing still had a gloomy expression, tense and unsure of what to say. After a moment, Zi Ruo Ye put down the eyebrow pencil and brush with satisfaction. She picked up the copper mirror, "Beautiful girl, take a look at how I drew it."

  Yun Cong's breathing was light and shallow throughout the process, very tense but didn't dare to touch the clothes on her body, so she could only hold her left hand with her right hand. Wang Ye is a strong-willed woman, how can she paint her eyebrows? But she picked up the eyebrow brush and painted her own eyebrows, even if it wasn't done well, she would still go out like this, just the thought of painting her own eyebrows was more important than anything else.

  The slightly curled long eyelashes trembled lightly, and the eyes slowly opened to look like a copper mirror. Looking at the person reflected in the copper mirror, he was stunned, muttering with doubt, "Is this Yun Cong?"

  He used to not wear powder, but now under the king's hand, on his right eyebrow is a lifelike peach blossom, with petals that seem to be real, only the edges of the peach blossom are lightly outlined in gold, even he feels that he is really seductive at this moment.

  "Sir, are you satisfied?" laughed and joked, Zi Ruoye picked up the red jade hairpin on the table, gently curled up Yun Cong's hair and inserted it, the naughty hair strands lazily stuck to Yun Cong's cheek, making him look like a lazy and seductive fairy at this moment, but also revealing peach-like tenderness.

  "Prince..." This was the first time Yun Cong was completely stunned, staring blankly at Zi Ruoye. The prince was actually so good at drawing eyebrows, better than any man. But then she heard Zi Ruoye's slightly embarrassed voice, with a hint of uncertainty, and a faint expectation that needed to be praised.

  "This is my first time drawing for someone, doesn't Cloud Condensation look bad?" Zi Ruoye looked at Cloud Condensation who wasn't saying a word and couldn't help but worry, she thought it was good, could it be that Cloud Condensation didn't like it.

  He pulled her hand, gently shaking his head, "The prince's painting is very good. Yun Cong likes it." For the first time, he painted someone's eyebrows... He didn't know if it was the rouge or the beauty's blushing face.

  "Then let's go." She gently pulled Yun Cong's hand and took him out. Today, she just wanted to let the world know that Yun Cong was a pearl in the world, and his identity couldn't change anything. What's called "blinding dog eyes", today they'll get a good look.

  The people outside listening to the story also finally noticed that today's birthday star, Zǐ Ruò Yè, was not there, and they looked at each other in confusion, but didn't know where the host had gone.

  When Shangguan Meng came back to his senses, he found that Ziyue Ye had already left the table. Her sparkling eyes seemed to be filled with tears, blinking as if they were about to fall at any moment. How could he listen to stories and not even notice when his wife left?! Father said that a husband's first priority is his wife, and he was such a failure as a husband! With a pout, Shangguan Meng deeply reflected on his failures as a husband, and had already subconsciously regarded himself as Ziyue Ye's husband...

  "Young master, do you know where the king has gone?" Minister Liu looked around in a circle and didn't see Zi Ruoye's figure either. It seems that this story is really very attractive, even if someone disappears, no one notices.

  "She's definitely gone to find Yun Ning!" A low murmur escaped, but it was too soft for Liu Chengxiang to hear clearly. Just now, he saw that scoundrel get up and leave, presumably to invite Yun Ning who had not arrived for so long... Knowing she went to invite him personally, why did he feel sour again? His heart felt stuffy, as if he was about to suffocate.

  Ziyan also just noticed Ziruo Ye's departure, and only after asking others did she learn that Ziruo Ye had gone to invite Yun Ning. She then spoke up, "The king is going to invite someone, he'll be back soon, everyone please carry on." I don't know where the princess collected this story from, but it was really interesting. Another day, I must ask the princess for guidance.

  Zi Ruoye pulled Cloud Condensation's hand, and when they were about to see the crowd, she changed to embracing Cloud Condensation's waist, looking like a perfect match between a talented man and a beautiful woman.

  Everyone saw the appearance of Zi Ruoye and Yun Ning, and when they saw Yun Ning's dress, they couldn't help but take a breath. Where did this beauty come from? Which beautiful girl did the prince snatch again?

  All the women present lost their color, and Li Yu was also stunned, looking at Yun Cong... so beautiful... really so beautiful...

  Zi Ruoye looked at everyone's expressions, and couldn't help but stick her eyes on Yun Cong, slyly smiling and saying, "Beauty, today is indeed my birthday..."

  At this moment, Yun Cong's face was flushed with shame, but she still wanted to know whose work the garment was. "Whose masterpiece is this?" She wondered why someone would spend so much silver on a one-of-a-kind garment for him... Suddenly, Zi Ruoye leaned in close and whispered, her voice laced with an inexplicable intoxication, as if he too were about to become drunk just from listening.

  "This master... isn't it me?"
