Sui He bit her lip nervously, as if afraid he might eat her alive. "Your Highness… please wash your face."
Wash my face? Yue Mingxuan thought.
Fine, it's just washing.
He grabbed the damp towel from her hand, rubbed it across his face carelessly and tossed it back to her.
But then, catching Sui He's shocked and wide-eyed expression, Yue Mingxuan froze.
"What? Is there a fly on my face?" He turned toward the mirror, puzzled.
And then he saw it.
The black hair that was as smooth as a silk and dark as ink.
The elegant brows that was shaped like distant mountains.
A pair of eyes that was bright and deep shining like moonlight over a quiet river.
The long lashes that was trembled faintly and glimmering like waves under autumn sunlight giving him a look of clear delicate spirit.
His face was soft and fair as snow, his lips red like a flower blooming in winter frost.
It was pure, vivid, and dangerously beautiful.
Under the dim light, he looked like a peony that was about to open, breathtaking but not vulgar, graceful yet proud.
Truly, a face that could bring kingdoms to ruin.
Anyone who possessed such beauty could easily cause chaos in the world.
But this face belonged to the so-called "disgraced" Fifth Prince. Someone who had just been slandered as unchaste and had his engagement broken.
"This… this is me?" he whispered in disbelief while staring at the reflection. Inwardly, he cursed the former Yue Mingxuan.
What kind of taste did he have? he thought angrily.
With such a face, one that could make any man fall a d he still covered it with layers of awful makeup?
Didn't he know that stuff ruins your skin?
That's worse than tearing down the Great Wall!
He almost wanted to punch himself, well, the "old" self.
Then, suddenly, he remembered something Su Jin had said before she left. It had something to do with his face. Back then, he hadn't understood what she meant, but now, seeing this reflection, it all made perfect sense.
He couldn't help it, his mood lifted completely.
Grinning like a fool, he began to make faces in the mirror. Would this pout look good? No, maybe this side angle, it makes my face look smaller… Oh wait, this isn't a photo filter app, it's my real face!
He was just about to laugh out loud when he heard a sudden thud!
Sui He had dropped to her knees while trembling all over. "Y–Your Highness…" she stammered, terrified.
Ah, he had forgotten she was still there. No wonder she looked so scared, seeing her prince grinning and making silly faces in the mirror must have been quite a shock.
Well, anyone who saw themself looking this good would go a little crazy too, Yue Mingxuan thought cheerfully. I'm just happy, that's all. Nothing wrong with that!
Yue Mingxuan tried hard to hold back his laughter.
After a long struggle, he finally managed to compose himself. While putting on a straight face, he turned around and lightly kicked Sui He, who was still kneeling on the floor, the poor girl immediately jumped up in shock.
