However, it is wrong for the lady to apply it like this.
"Miss, let me paint your lips for you!"
Now in the ninth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty's national power has been booming, and the lives of the people have become much easier, especially the family members of the nobles, who have really worked hard on their respective costumes.
In order to show their confidence, generosity and beauty, women generally like to wear bright lipstick.
In many brothels, most of the singers lead fashion and trends. They create dozens of lip makeup styles, such as: Pomegranate Jiao, Dahongchun, Wanjinhong, Tiangongqiao...
Even the names of these lipsticks are enough to show that they are full of poetry and romance, embodying the unremitting pursuit of beauty by women in the Tang Dynasty.
Yu Meiji applied one of the most popular red lips on Li Shuwan, with a large upper lip and a small lower lip. Before applying it, she covered the entire lips with light makeup, which looked very bright and charming.
The last step is to draw a small plum blossom on the forehead.
It was not until noon that Li Shuwan finally put on the hairpin dress she had dreamed of, and a bride was born that stunned everyone.
"My daughter is the most beautiful today, ten times more beautiful than my mother back then..."
"Wan'er is really beautiful today. When the prince comes to welcome you tomorrow, I'm afraid everyone will think that you are marrying the wrong person!"
Li Shuwan was praised by the people around her, her cheeks turned red, and she felt very embarrassed.
But what she cared about most was Li Ke's reaction.
The Li Mansion held a banquet today and invited relatives and friends to the banquet.
Of course, it was not just relatives and friends who came to congratulate him, but also Li Jing's colleagues and the nobles of Chang'an City. After all, Li Jing's status was there.
Even if you don't care about Li Jing's face, you still have to care about the face of Shu King Li Ke. Before the banquet started, the entire Li Mansion was already overcrowded.
Li Shimin has decreed that all ministers should rest for three days in order to celebrate his son's wedding. He hopes that all officials, big and small, can send the most beautiful congratulations. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
"On behalf of the Duke, there is something going on at court, so I'm late."
Fang Xuanling arrived at Li Jing's house in a carriage, pulling gifts, and Li Jing went out to greet him personally.
"Hahaha, Mr. Xing, please come inside!"
"A match made in heaven, Luan and Phoenix sing in harmony. Congratulations to the Duke's daughter on her coming to the throne."
Li Jing clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I thank Mr. Xing on behalf of my daughter."
"My lord, congratulations. I wish your daughter a happy marriage and a long life together."
"You are such a good old boy. You will have no regrets in this life if you can get such a good son-in-law as the King of Shu." Xiao Yu laughed and walked towards Li Jing.
But only Li Jing knew that he felt bitter in his heart. He would rather not wait for a good son-in-law, then he would be a trap.
Then all the ministers from the court came.
Li Xiaogong, Gao Shilian, Yu Shinan, Li Ji, Wei Zheng, and more generals came, Qin Shubao, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Zhijie, Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Liang, Li Hongji, Hou Junji, Chai Shao...
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, I'm late..."
Changsun Wuji and Changsun Shunde came with a group of people to congratulate him.
Li Jing knew that it was impossible for him and Changsun Wuji to stand together, but the visitor was a guest, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Sikong, for your blessing. I thank you on my behalf."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Your daughter has flown onto a branch. You should be happy. Why are you keeping a straight face?"
After saying that, he turned around and entered the courtyard.
Li Jing looked at Changsun Wuji with a cold face, "Today is my daughter's wedding party. Changsun, you old beast, how dare you slander me like this?"
What do you mean the little girl flew up the branch?
snort!
"Hahaha, old man, I'm coming over to join in the fun! I wonder if that's okay?"
At some point, Li Yuan, an unprofessional person, appeared at the door with Concubine Wan Gui beside him.
Li Jing couldn't laugh or cry, can you come here today?
This is against the rules!
"I have met the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor has invited me inside."
"Li Jing, I'm here today to help you calm down, so that some villains won't cause trouble."
"Don't worry about the rules and regulations. I don't represent the royal family or the Shu Palace today, I only represent myself."
"Your Majesty, please come in."
"You go and do your work. There is no need to greet me."
Then he turned around and said with a smile: "Li Jing, your daughter will be our granddaughter-in-law from now on. You can't hold grudges anymore. You must never remember the time when I wanted to kill you..."
Li Jing: "..."
Old guy, don't mention the pot. It's a good day and you only pick out your own sad things. You're the one who's here to cause trouble, right?
What a family indeed!
When Li Jing saw another guest coming, he immediately went to receive the guests with a smile on his face.
However, he was already panicking about this matter. He did not expect that so many people would come. The entire mansion could no longer accommodate so many people.
Soon, Si Huaijin personally delivered the benefits and set up a huge tent directly outside Li's residence. Countless tables and chairs were arranged immediately.
The chefs in heaven and earth are ready, and all kinds of fresh meats that have been slaughtered are constantly being delivered to cook for the Li family today.
Li Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Around the end of the day, the guests filled all the seats in the courtyard, and every room was even more overcrowded. The tent outside the gate was also crowded with people who came to congratulate.
The housekeeper and the seven or eight accountants of Li Jing's family were already numb. The gift book was almost filled to the brim. The writing hands of the seven or eight of them almost cramped.
There are too many people coming to give gifts, and I am afraid that the amount received today is tens of thousands.
The daughter's wedding banquet was unique in the Tang Dynasty.
"Master Wang Gui, Minister of Rites, has arrived..."
There was the sound of crackling firecrackers outside, and everyone immediately turned their heads to look at the dozen or so luxurious carriages outside the gate.
Wang Gui is extremely popular today. Being able to personally preside over the wedding of the King of Shu is the pinnacle of his life.
He walked briskly and came to the gate with the imperial edict in his hand.
"On behalf of Duke Li Jing, I accept the order..."
Li Jing packed up his luggage, stepped forward quickly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Li Jing, accepts the order."
"By God's blessing, the emperor, the edict says: I heard that Li Shuwan, the daughter of Duke Li Jing, is skillful and generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. I am very happy to hear about it."
"Now that the king of Shu has lost his crown, he is ready for marriage. He should choose a virtuous girl to match him. Li Shuwan is worthy of being in the boudoir, and she is a match made in heaven with the king of Shu."
"In order to become a beautiful lady, Li Shuwan is specially betrothed to the King of Shu as his concubine. All etiquette will be handled by Si Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites through consultation."
"The announcement is made at home and abroad, and the envoys will hear it."
This imperial edict of marriage had actually been passed on to Li Jing a long time ago, but today he read it again in front of everyone, letting everyone in the world know that this was a marriage granted by His Majesty.
"My lord, accept the order!"
Wang Gui handed the imperial edict to Li Jing and said, "Congratulations on behalf of the Duke."
"Please!" Li Jing signaled Wang Gui to enter the house.
Wang Gui took out the gift list and said with a smile: "This is the betrothal gift from your Majesty and the Queen. Please take a look at it."
Li Jing took the gift list with both hands and quickly moved towards the palace to thank him.
