Handsome Fairness Gao hardly tasted her lunch, sitting in front of the mirror in a daze. She called for a palace maid to bring water to wash her face, then reapplied powder and drew her eyebrows.
The maid next to her felt strange. She didn't know where her lady's sudden interest came from.
Handsome Fairness Gao didn't intend to become like Beauty Xie. However, the colour of her eyebrow pencil was not the same as her usual one. She chose a lighter shade this time.
Usually, Handsome Fairness Gao liked to draw her eyebrows thicker and longer to make herself look more spirited. However, upon seeing Beauty Xie's natural appearance without makeup, she suddenly felt that her usual appearance with thick eyebrows might look too harsh. She realized that men generally preferred gentle women.
She picked up a bit of rouge from a rouge box with a sunflower and a good-luck character, then lightly spread it with her fingertips.
