Chapter 1086: Chapter 886: Can You Still Be Beautiful After Becoming a Mom?

The third prince pinched his chin. "Actually, I don’t quite understand. If you say beauty brings disasters, at least one must be breathtakingly beautiful. But you’re dark and thin; I really don’t see why?"

Nan Feng felt somewhat angry and just picked some tender pomegranate leaves from what she was holding, then threw them back into the third prince’s hands, "These were picked by you, I’m giving them back to you!"

"Hey, how dare you throw them at me?" the third prince said, surprised.

Nan Feng looked coldly at the third prince, "Throwing at you, so what? I even dare to hit you!"

Nan Feng then hurried away with the nanny.

Hitting him was not for now; if he dared to follow her, she was sure to hit.

The third prince didn’t dare to follow. He just muttered resentfully, "So fierce, and yet men fight wars for her? Are they blind? Humph!"

...

When Nan Feng returned to Huaxi Palace, she immediately prepared a bath for Xiaobao, which was not tasty at all. Despite coaxing for a long time, it didn’t work, so she simply had the nanny hold Nan Feng while she pinched Xiaobao’s nose and forced it into her mouth.

She remembered that at Special Agent School, when kids were fussy about taking medicine, the instructors fed them in the same manner.

Xiaobao felt a bit scared, then started crying out of grievance. What was going on with mom lately? Getting less gentle, not allowing pampering, and even force-feeding medicine.

For the first time, Xiaobao didn’t seek out Nan Feng but instead hid in the nanny’s embrace, asking the nanny to hold her.

Seeing this, Nan Feng felt both heartache and a bit of relief.

Let her hide. She was doing this for Xiaobao’s own good.

She went back to her room and thought about the third prince’s words, growing angrier the more she thought. How was she not beautiful? How did she not deserve two men fighting over her?

Although that was not what she wanted to fight for.

She sat down again before the bronze mirror. It had been a long time since she had last looked in a mirror, and now she hardly recognized herself. She remembered when Yezhang had first said she looked like a fairy upon arriving at the county town, but she looked nothing like a fairy now.

Her clothes were put on carelessly, although palace maids brought her fine clothes every day, Nan Feng felt that she need garments that were easy to wear and loose, more convenient for holding and feeding Xiaobao, not to mention easily dirtied, thus she continued to wear plain, dark clothes.

Her face was even more worn, thin. She was barely eighteen years old, but what eighteen-year-old looked like a grieving widow?

She felt like crying.

No wonder, in her previous life, many women started complaining about this and that after getting married and having kids, failing to tidy themselves up and appearing messy all day; she always thought those women gave up on themselves too easily. But now that she was in their shoes, she realized how hard it was to look after a child; you simply lacked the energy to care for yourself.

Those pictures that are shown off, talking about how adorable their kids are, those are just moments in time. More often, they are like little devils.

And those so-called genius babies who can walk and talk at nine months and turn into hackers at three years old to hack into other’s computers, those are utterly fantastical.

But Nan Feng thought, maybe now it was necessary to tidy herself up.

In the modern world, after children turn three they could be put into kindergarten. In this ancient time, she didn’t know how long it would be before she could get out of this Sea of Misery.

All she could hope was that Xiaobao would gradually get used to the nanny.

Nan Feng took out some rouge and face powder, beginning to apply them to her face. While applying, she suddenly felt a small figure wrap around her legs. She looked down – Xiaobao had somehow come over again.

Xiaobao didn’t hold grudges. Although mom had forcibly given her medicine, after crying for a while she began to miss her mother again, and now, as soon as the Empress wasn’t looking, she had crawled over again.

Nan Feng felt helpless, looking in the mirror at her face, half-applied with rouge, not sure whether to continue applying, or to pick up Xiaobao and play with her.
