Chapter 296: The Court Makeup Artist Encounters the High Priest (1...

Nebuchadnezzar II's princess, Ammeiedh from the Medes hills, was depressed because she missed the mountain scenery of her hometown, and Nebuchadnezzar II built a "hanging garden" for her that troubled countless historians in later generations and wondered if it really existed.

If he hadn't returned to Neo-Babylon in person, Lin Luoran might have softened his heart for such a beautiful legend when he occasionally glanced at those documents that had been turned into characters. But the Medi princess in front of her, even if she blushed when she mentioned Nebuchadnezzar, Lin Luoran would not forget her other identity - the disciple of the Huaxia cultivator.

The deep-clothed woman's surname is Ji, Edith doesn't know the meaning of this surname, Lin Luoran, as an authentic Chinese, can't ignore it. At this time, the Zhou Dynasty is about to collapse, and the Spring and Autumn Period has appeared, but the Zhou family is still a legitimate royal family, Ji Chang, Ji Fa, these names, which Chinese people are not familiar with, the "Fengshen Bang" that grew up with them, the Zhou royal family, is the surname Ji......

A descendant of the Zhou royal family and a cultivator, why did he travel thousands of miles to accept a Medi princess as a disciple? Is it just for the Tower of Babel? If a conspicuous building like the Tower of Babel had already been built, she and Yang Lisha would have been able to see it at a glance when they had not entered the city, so at this point in time when she had traveled over, had the Tower of Babel not been built...... These questions kept her awake at night.

"Lin, can you attend my wedding tomorrow?" Also keeping up at night was Edith. The dark-clothed woman never returned, and those female slaves never dared to talk to her, and the night before the wedding, Edith simply stayed in this hall to talk to Lin Luoran and be a companion.

Lin Luoran could imagine that tomorrow would be a grand wedding, but the woman in deep clothes restricted her personal freedom, and when the two paper talismans were confiscated, Lin Luoran did not dare to challenge the authority of the woman surnamed Ji, so she shook her head at Edith with regret to show her apologies.

Edith held her cheeks, and the firelight cast a layer of glory on her smooth face.

"Actually, the teacher looks strict, the person is really nice, don't worry, I will help you convince the teacher."

Lin Luoran burst into tears, I really want to say to this little girl, your "teacher" is probably not well-intentioned! But to observe the Babylonian marriage? What is the mission given by the Tower of Babel to make her do...... Will it be easier to integrate into this era?

She thought about it, but still stared at Edith with the expectant look of "I really want to go", uh, it was a little unkind, like she was cheating on the little girl.

However, Edith was very happy, hugged Lin Luoran and giggled. made her have a lot of good feelings for this exotic girl, and her personality is really similar to Li Xi'er, hey, I don't know what level Dad Lin and Yuan Ye will encounter, I hope I won't be as unlucky as myself.

Except inside the hall, it was still dark outside, and a group of slave girls poured in.

With flowers and satin in their hands, long dresses intertwined with gold thread, and belts embellished with precious stones, it is conceivable that tomorrow's wedding will be complicated.

Someone brought a white viscous liquid, Lin Luoran smelled like milk, did he use this to bathe? She remembered that on the banks of the Euphrates River, Xiao Xiaomu read the passage, this is the Mesopotamian plain flowing with milk and honey, and it is not as barren as Lin Luoran imagined.

Edith took a milk bath and did not shy away from dressing in front of Lin Luoran, this is still an open era, unlike a few years later, when China started from a certain dynasty, ordering women to follow three virtues and four virtues, wrap their little feet, and be looked at by strange men with bare neck flesh may seek death.

Edith is a passionate and unrestrained girl, and her young body should be beautiful, and there is nothing embarrassing to see her look at at her.

Lin Luoran watched with great interest as those female slaves dressed Edith in gorgeous long dresses and belts, and two female slaves were braiding her and putting on makeup. More than 2,000 years ago, Lin Luoran opened his eyes.

It was two colors of powder, blue and black, Lin Luoran sniffed, as if it was ground by some kind of ore. Wouldn't it be good to apply the ore powder directly to the eye socket in this way?

Lin Luoran remembered that there was still a set of high-end cosmetics sent by Baojia a few years ago in the space, and it had not been opened, plus the preservation ability of the space, it should still be usable, right?

She took out her things, and the colorful pearlescent eyeshadow really caught Edith's eye.

"Lin, what are these, they're so beautiful!" A dozen shades of pearlescent eyeshadow, of course, are more eye-catching than the monotonous blue-black, each one is like a dream color, and Edith can't put it down.

Lin Luoran coughed dryly, "I think I might be able to draw a different bridal makeup for the princess......

The submissive slave girls looked at Lin Luoran in surprise, as if she was some kind of flood beast that could eat people.

Lin Luoran touched his nose a little sneeringly, this proposal is indeed a bit risky, this is a veritable national marriage, not to mention red tape, the queen's makeup and clothing, there should be specific requirements, right?

Edith's eyes lit up.

Lin Luoran had a hunch that she might have lifted a stone to shoot herself in the foot.

…………

"How the hell did you get this?" Edith looked at herself in the bronze mirror, her eyelashes were dense enough, but they were not like now, like a small fan in the blink of an eye. In her left eye, she outlined a flowing flower with blue powder, which she didn't recognize, but it looked so good.

The eyebrows are thick, and the skin is covered with a thin layer of white powder, and there are no blemishes at all.

Edith was surprised by the different bridal makeup that Lin Luoran said, which was different from Medes and Babylon's, and it looked strange at first glance, but Edith soon found that this strange makeup covered all her small imperfections, the bridge of her nose was straighter, her eyes were deep and blue, and her lips seemed to be coated with a layer of honey, moist and shiny.

Edith was surprised by the product of the mysterious Orient, in fact, Lin Luoran was also quite surprised that the "bronze mirror" knows no borders, because it is polished smooth, it is clearer than depicted in many novels, at least Edith can clearly see her face, which is much more reliable than using water.

The female slaves were frightened, which made Lin Luoran also feel pressured, but it was an unusually ordinary stage makeup in the 21st century, and with the celebration, it should be okay, right?

With a gold-encrusted ruby on her forehead, Edith was already a ready Babylonian bride.

It was still dawn, and the sound of musical instruments was already ringing in the palace. The melodious sound of the piano, mixed with the sound of metal percussion, Lin Luoran was invited by Edith to attend the wedding as a court makeup artist.

Lin Luoran followed Bu Luan cautiously, and did not find the woman surnamed Ji to make her relieved. Edith was solemn and beautiful, and she would soon officially become the princess of Babylon, and on such a formal occasion she would have to throw away some of the playfulness of a little girl.

Before leaving the palace, another team of Buluan came to meet him, Lin Luoran looked at the sweetness on Edith's face, and knew that the person sitting on it was Nebuchadnezzar II - this bearded face could not hide the fact that he was a circle older than Edith, Lin Luoran had to be a little more responsible like those female slaves who were traveling with him, and he didn't stare at the king of Babylon, and his eyes fell on the side of his Buluan.

These people holding the bull's head harp are court musicians, right? There were also gong-like ones, tambourines, and instruments she didn't recognize.

When Nebuchadnezzar saw Edith clearly, he was stunned at first, and what was painted on the face of his new princess was completely inconsistent with Babylonian tradition...... It's just that, when you look at it twice, it seems to be even more beautiful than when Edith came?

Lin Luoran didn't know at this time that she could be recognized by Nebuchadnezzar, and her position as a temporary court makeup artist had actually been quietly corrected.

After the two teams met, the bride and groom did not talk, but walked along the high wall to the "Gate of Esther", outside which was greeted by the cheers of the Babylonian people.

The Temple of Malduk, which was important to Babylon, is just ahead, and the section of the road from the "Gate of Esther" to Maldok is the place where religious activities are held during solemn celebrations, the famous "Ritual Avenue".

According to Edith, she and Nebuchadnezzar were to receive the blessing of the high priest at the Temple of Marduk, and then they would revel with the people of the entire city of Babylon.

High priest, the female cultivator surnamed Ji went out last night and didn't come back, Lin Luoran was inexplicably a little uneasy.
