Chapter 51: Half-Face Makeup
The hole in the mirror is really stunning.
It's just that that face, no matter how you look at it, is a little weird.
The man walked in, walked behind the mirror, stretched out his hand, wanted to touch her black hair like satin, and when he glanced at it, he saw the face in the mirror, and his hand stopped.
His anger grew, and one of his exposed eyes shone fiercely.
"What's wrong?" The woman in the red palace dress said tactfully, turned her head, and looked at him with disgust.
The man looked at her face carefully, and there was a little more sadness in the depths of his eyes.
Saw
The woman, with heavy makeup painted on the left side of her face, was gorgeous and noble, like a queen.
On the right side of the face, she is completely without makeup, without thrush, without powder, and she is as delicate as the girl next door.
Two completely different styles were presented on the same face at the same time, the man's hands trembled slightly, he controlled his own voice, and said, "Awan, you are so disgusted with me...... That was the time...... Why did you choose to marry me...... Why? β
He had asked himself this question countless times in his heart, but today it was the first time he had spoken.
The woman with half makeup smiled lightly, "I don't dislike you......"
The man obviously didn't believe this answer, and he turned around and forced back the tears in his eyes.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦.
Five years ago, that is, the fifth year of the Great Week.
The eldest princess Zhou Wan married Xiao Yue, a general.
The eldest princess of the Great Circumference, who had a constant scandal with Zhao Kuo many years ago, finally married off eight years after Zhao Kuo disappeared.
Many people in the Great Zhou royal family breathed a sigh of relief.
It is said that Zhou Wan chose this handsome general with only one eye among the magnates of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military cities.
Xiao Yue, who is blind in one eye, and has had a wife, but she has passed away, leaving behind a daughter, it is not unreasonable for Zhou Wan to pick him, but only a few people know the truth. Even, even Xiao Yue didn't understand why Her Royal Highness the princess, who was powerful and beautiful, would marry him, it was really the ancestral tomb that was smoking.
It has been four or five years since they got married, and the sky is pitiful, he has very little intersection with her, she still goes her own way and lives in the palace, while he can only be stationed outside the palace, and the husband and wife are like strangers. Except for one name, she and him don't even seem to be friends.
Also, the owner of the Great Zhou Qingcheng Division, how could Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who covered the sky with her hands in Da Zhou be friends with him, how could she live at home like an ordinary woman, husband and children?
Every time he woke up in a dream, he would have wondered what would have happened if they hadn't gotten married.
Those day-to-day expectations, those hidden loves, and those untellable stories will all disappear, and there will be no hope for a rekindling.
What made him even more desperate was that this woman who was his wife had been hiding another man in her heart, and she made no secret of her love for Zhao Kuo.
This green hat is known to everyone in the world.
Xiao Yue became more and more bitter.
These accumulated bitterness and resentment finally broke out one afternoon, and when he heard that she had privately sent someone to Chaocheng to find Zhao Kuo, and there was already a trace, he couldn't help but enter the palace and asked, if he came back, would you be with him?
At that time, Zhou Wan had not yet painted half of her makeup, and her face was beautiful.
She looked him straight in the eye and gave him an accurate and merciless reply.
"Of course, Ah Ku has always been my favorite." When she said this, her beautiful face welled up with a little girlish shyness, as if she had thought of some kind of beautiful picture.
He was furious, and for the first time he threw something in the princess's hall, he was angry, and he began to speak indiscriminately.
"Haha, he's your favorite? β¦β¦ But are you his favorite? Naive! It's really naΓ―ve, who in the world doesn't know that Zhao Kuo loves Zhou Yu! β
"It's Zhou Yu!"
"That humble little maid who has been following you all along!"
There was silence in the hall, Zhou Wan listened to these words, as if she had been struck by thunder, she was stunned, tears were hazy in the corners of her eyes, and her mind suddenly remembered some pictures from many years ago, and her body trembled a little.
"You get out." She opened her eyes wide, looked at Xiao Yue, and pointed out of the hall, "You get out, I don't want to see you again." β
Xiao Yue sneered and left.
Never set foot in this place since.
And that day, the maids who overheard these words also died quietly, and Zhou Wan sat alone in the empty palace for the whole night, stunned.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
These memories seem to be demons of the abyss, and once they are remembered, the two are separated by a chasm that can never be crossed.
Xiao Yue's tears disappeared, and when he looked back, he was still the iron-clad general.
"I didn't dislike you..."Zhou Wan said with a smile, her face was gentle, but the left side of her face was still cold and arrogant, and those gentleness could only be seen on the right side.
It just so happened that he was blind in his right eye.
As if mocking, his soft heart remembered those gossip, and suddenly became even colder.
"Do you know why our princess likes to wear half of her makeup?"
"Why?"
"Because, the colt is blind in one eye, and he can only see one side of his face."
"Haha, that's true."
And so it was!
Xiao Yue wanted to laugh, reached out and took off his blindfold violently, revealing a pair of eyes with only the whites of his eyes, staring at Zhou Wan deadly, "That's it, it's bullying me that only one eye is left, that's why you treat me like this!" β
His eyes were on fire, and he rolled up his sleeves like crazy and began to wipe the makeup on Zhou Wan's face.
"If you put on half makeup, you are bullying me for being blind?!"
"You're my wife, why are you thinking about another man?!"
"After five years of husband and wife, you don't care about any affection!"
"You know what outsiders say about me! Haha, how can you not know, you are the master of the Qingcheng Division, what can I hide from you! You know, and you never care! β
"You are so ruthless!"
Zhou Wan closed her eyes and silently endured his violence, her forehead suddenly cooled, she opened her eyes, looked at the man in tears, and smiled lightly, "I know, you love me." β
The man's body shook and looked at her quietly.
Xiao Yue is indeed in love with Zhou Wan.
This was many, many years ago, his love was earlier than Zhao Kuo's appearance, but it was only an aimless unrequited love, he never thought that one day he would let others know, let alone let this woman who fascinated him know.
When he was a teenager, he thought, just look at it like this, from the Great Zhou Palace to the Xiao Mansion outside the palace is only that a distance, but who knows, there was a teenager who liked to watch the lights of the princess's mansion night after night in the courtyard closest to the palace, and had countless fantasies that one day, he and her could sit together, count the time, and grow old.
When he learned that she had chosen him to be his husband, he was ecstatic, and sat in the courtyard laughing for a long time, feeling much awe at the wish he had made.
The ideal is like this, maybe one day, it will be realized so suddenly?
However, reality gave him another resounding slap in the face.
The husband and wife biochemistry between him and Zhou Wan was far from being so beautiful, and the woman that the teenager loved ruthlessly made him panic and began to doubt the choice at that time.
"You know it all." He sighed deeply and looked into her pupils, "You know I love you, and you still torture me like this." β
Zhou Wan stroked his face, close to his ear, and sighed, "If you love me, you must tolerate me." β
What a capricious word.
Xiao Yue's eyes were a little more watery, and this arrogant man couldn't help but be impressed by this sentence.
"Yes...... I knew it was like this. β
Lowering his head, his face was close to her neck, and he lowered his head, he hugged Zhou Wan fiercely, trying to breathe in the smell of her body.
It seems that she has been poisoned, and only she can solve it.
Zhou Wan laughed even harder.
