Chapter 288: Before the Moon Viewing Banquet (Part II)

"Concubine Jing Niangniang called me over?"

Hua Mian was carrying two straps in her hand and didn't know where to tie them, so Concubine Jing's female official brought the news that Concubine Jing wanted to see her, and Hua Mian had to wrap the belt around her waist casually and follow the female officer out.

"You're just in time"

As soon as he walked into the hall, he heard Concubine Jing's voice, and Hua Mian bowed and stood on the side of the chair where Concubine Jing was sitting.

"Don't be so restrained, you see that the female officials here today are very relaxed."

After being reminded by Concubine Jing, Hua Mian noticed that Concubine Jing did not stand quietly on both sides behind Concubine Jing at this time, but held some dresses and jewelry in the room and gestured with each other.

"You're dressed very well, it's quite decently cut, and the tailor who makes the clothes must know your shape quite well," a female officer walked up to Hua Mian and looked her up and down, and then circled around her twice.

Hua Mian herself also felt quite incredible, although this dress was the same as the clothes that Concubine Jing and other female officials were wearing now, they were all sent in by Sikong Yu from outside the palace, but it was unexpectedly fitted, and Hua Mian didn't even need to adjust the size of the dress by tying a strap like other female officials.

It's like she was specially made for her after measuring her figure, and the matching jewelry style is simple, but you can find many details when you look at it again.

Sikong Yu is really willing to spend money, but after all, it is a moon viewing banquet hosted by the emperor, and if Concubine Jing can be appreciated, the entire Sikong family will increase face.

"Huh?" , Concubine Jing looked at Hua Mian: "By the way, I still need makeup"

…… Hearing Concubine Jing mention makeup, Hua Mian couldn't help but be alert, and when it came to makeup, she would naturally think of those ghost-like white faces.

"No need...... I'll cook in the back, so I won't be in the tent, so I don't need to put on makeup", Hua Mian shook her head and took two steps back.

"Don't hide, it's rare to be able to participate in the moon viewing banquet", the female officer on the side smiled and blocked Hua Mian's retreat. Several female officials around saw that there was something interesting, and Concubine Jing had already spoken, and they each surrounded them with makeup utensils.

…… After a while, the female officials dispersed, and Concubine Jing looked at Hua Mian's face seriously, and asked, "Have you ever been told before that after putting on makeup, you feel like a different person?"

"Looks like there were, right?" , Hua Mian remembered that the last time someone said this was at the college graduation ball, her roommate felt too embarrassed to walk with her, and forced Hua Mian to put on makeup and change her clothes, and the reaction of her classmates at that time was like Concubine Jing at the moment.

It's still interesting if just putting on makeup can make them react like they've seen a ghost.

After getting ready, Hua Mian followed Concubine Jing and her party to the back garden, and wanted to go back to the kitchen to pick up her things, but was told by Manager Ling that Jia Lao had sent someone in advance to take away all the tools she had arranged, and someone helped to take things Hua Mian was also happy.

Hua Mian with makeup surprised Ling Ran, although it was not to the point of being amazing, but it was not an exaggeration to call it a beauty, Hua Mian looked left and right in the mirror, fortunately, these female officials did not use the kind of white powder used by low-level maids, and the pearl powder mixed with pollen they used was neither white nor very exaggerated but also delicate, avoiding the appearance of those white-faced maids, otherwise she would not be able to stand it first if Hua Mian cooked with such a face.
