The royal's cute little wife [ON HOLD]

Chapter 7

In a blink of an eye, it was already the mid-autumn, and the weather had grown increasingly colder day by day.

A few days ago, the people from Gao fu had come over to visit Kwon fu. Upon their arrival, Sandara shi went to welcome them at the main hall. As they had arrived early, seeing that Lisa and Minnie were still asleep, Leng shi did not wake them up.

By the time Lisa had woken up, she was already alone in her wing.

Changing into a high-collared lace cape embroidered with peonies, she went about her usual routine, combing her hair into a neat bun, and placing a few strings of beads and silk flowers in the bun. They moved from side to side as she walked, and made her seem active and cute. She walked around for a while but didn't find Minnie, and only after finding a maid did she then realise that she was with Sandara shi in the main hall.

"Ah Minnie, what are you doing?" She ran into the hall with a suspicious look on her face.

Minnie stood on the rose wood drum stool. Facing the mirror decorated with four birds circling a flower branch, the small dumpling shook her head, saying, "Big sis come see, am I pretty or not like this?"

Going closer to look, Lisa then found that she was wearing Sandara shi's jade cicada hairpin.

Forcing herself not to laugh, Lisa looked around, and Minnie suddenly thought of changing her hairstyle into a spiral bun.

She had a hairpin in her bun and her face was still immature, yet she seemed to be pretending to be a grown-up, so she was both funny and cute to look at. All young girls fantasised of being grown-ups, and little Minnie was no exception.

Lisa, in a serious voice, commented, "Really pretty, almost as though you're flawless."

Minnie repeatedly asked, "What flaws?"

She climbed down from the stool, and swayed over to Lisa, intently gazing at her.

In a flash, Lisa thought of an explanation, and pointed to the makeup on the dressing table. "Mother always puts some rogue and powder on, why don't you try putting some on?"

Clapping her hands, Minnie agreed, "Of course!"

Quietening down, the two troublemakers sneakily looked around, both thinking the same thing. Lisa said, "Mother is at the main hall right now, we mustn't let her know."

Minnie nodded, and pursed her lips. "Both of us are not allowed to tell her."

The two small dumplings were in agreement, and surrounded Sandara shi's dressing table.

The movement in the room actually couldn't be concealed from the maidservants outside; the two were too naive, actually assuming that no one would know what they were doing. Shuang Yu and Shuang Yan looked at each other helplessly, but alas, could only await Sandara shi's return.

Lisa opened the lotus lacquered purple box, which contained a bright red piece of rogue. Picking up a piece, she started to draw on Minnie's face, telling her, "Make sure you don't move."

Minnie obediently stayed still.

After she finished drawing on the rogue, Minnie opened another box. Inside were some finely-ground powder, and remembering how Mother's face always became whiter after patting it on, she then took a handful of it and spread it on her sister's face.

After that she drew on her eyebrows, put on lipstick... After she finished Minnie's big makeover, Lisa clapped her hands, saying, "I'm done!"

Minnie excitedly looked into the mirror, but with just a glance she was shocked silly by the strange creature looking back at her, loudly crying out, "Ugly!"
