Chapter 5: Are You A Princess? The Kind With A Ruined Reputation

Where He Qingning imagined deep hideous scars on the slender, pale wrist, there was none. The only trace of a blemish is a small, faded line that was caused by a scratch and it looked as if it was healed a long time ago.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Shen Wan wanted to draw her hand back. She didn't expect He Qingning to have such a strong grip. She did not move from the Royal Princess' hold, afraid that if she pulled back with too much force, she'd hurt the other woman.

He Qingning's gaze moved from Shen Wan's limp wrist to her pale face. They were very close. You could even say too close. Time seemed to stretch as He Qingning stared at Shen Wan's face. There was something strange with how she looked.

Shen Wan was a little dazed at He Qingning's intense eyes.

Her Highness' sharp focus was really making her heart beat wildly.

[188: "Wan Wan, do you know how you look like right now? Like a nympho who can't tell what's left or right.]

Shen Wan: "I don't have time to talk to you. Her Highness is staring at me seriously. I can't be distracted."

Well, good! !

188 kept quiet. He should think more about the mystery of his host. It's doesn't matter whether his host came to do the task or let her sister do it. There was a lot of missing holes in the host's background. He needs to sort it out thoroughly.

He Qingning let go of Shen Wan's wrist and reached out to touch Shen Wan's face.

Shen Wan: Your Highness, isn't our progress a bit fast? Unsuspecting readers will definitely think our feelings are developing too quickly. Take your time. Let's take our time. You don't need to be worried.

He Qingning touched Shen Wan's face, then retracted her fingers. A white coat of what looks to be white powder covered her index and middle finger. She squint her eyes to inspect the substance, "How much powder did you put on your face?

What? Shen Wan was dumbfounded. So the reason Her Royal Highness touched her face was because she wanted to check how much powder she had rubbed on it? No way. She thought it was because the other woman found her good looking or so cute that she couldn't help touch her and maybe even kiss her. All along, it was the cosmetic on her face that grabbed the Royal Princess' attention.

"Why is Your Highness asking about this?" Shen Wan replied, embarrassed. "What woman doesn't love beauty and apply some powder? I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

He Qingning smirked, "It's true that there's nothing wrong with a woman applying cosmetics. Of course, except maybe for a theatre crew, I haven't seen any woman in the palace love beauty so much that she will smear her face thick with make-up that she ends up looking like a white..." At this point, He Qingning's voice stopped abruptly. She didn't want to say that she compared the other woman to a corpse or a ghost. She decided not to say the end of her thoughts.

"Like what?" Shen Wan asked.

He Qingning took out a handkerchief, wiped Shen Wan's face roughly, then handed the piece of cloth for her to see, "It's like throwing a bowl of flour on your face. Don't you think that after walking two steps, a cake full of powder will fall on the ground?"
