Chapter 9: Dress-up

The same news also reached the Jiangxia County Palace, but Li Yuntong was taken aback.

Li Daozong, as the cousin of Gaozu Li Yuan, when today's son Li Shimin's cousin, when the Son of Heaven was still the king of Qin, he followed him to fight in the south and the north, and made many military exploits, even if he was deposed, he could make a comeback and rise to a high position, his political acumen is much stronger than the general official history, as his eldest daughter, Li Yuntong usually heard and witnessed, and subtly learned a lot, and his knowledge is naturally higher than those boudoir women who only know piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, her view on this matter is completely different from that of the princesses who are raised in the deep palace and do not know current affairs.

She saw the strong folk customs of Tubo and disdained the hidden strength.

You must know that the competition of the six countries requires a lot of preparation, so she entered the palace to persuade the Son of Heaven to set the competition for seven days later, but there are still two days before the competition, and the gift of Tubo will arrive in Chang'an City...... If it weren't for the preparations made there, how could it be possible to transport things to Chang'an in such a short time?

I am afraid that not long after their great minister brought people to Chang'an, the king of Tubo sent a second wave of men and horses to follow.

The two waves of people came with heavy gifts, one to show their sincerity, and the other to show the Tang Dynasty that although they were defeated this time, they still had the ability to fight again.

In this case, if the six countries above the main hall failed to win the competition against Tibet, would they be willing? Can they be willing to gamble and lose?

Besides, when she already knows that she is a princess of the clan, she has to give such a heavy gift to Chang'an City, doesn't it mean that Tubo is bound to make peace with her relatives? !

originally thought that those exam questions would be able to stump the marriage envoys, but the behavior of the Tubo people made Li Yuntong feel unsteady.

"Go and bring that dark men's clothes, I'm going to Honglu Temple to have a look." Li Yuntong commanded.

Her eldest maid Dongxue panicked when she heard this, "Junjun, what are you doing in that Honglu Temple?" When Mama found out, she would definitely punish the slave and maid. ”

The corners of Li Yuntong's lips hooked slightly, "Just like in the past, just don't let her know." Didn't we say okay, you don't need to tell your mother and grandma about this kind of small thing. ”

It's like she pestered her father and brother to learn swords, horseback riding, and archery, and hid them from her mother and grandmother, lest they talk about things that girls should not do.

Whatever they think is wrong or bad, and what she wants to do, is a small thing that does not need to be revealed.

Dongxue complained bitterly in her heart, and her county monarch thought that these were trivial things, the princess of the partial birth county and Zeng Mama were deceived by the delicate appearance of the county monarch, thinking that she was a well-behaved daughter, the door did not go out of the second door, only suffered their big girls, Chuncao wanted to pretend to be a scholar to accompany her out, she wanted to pretend to be a county gentleman to write and paint in the house, Xia Yu and Autumn Leaves had to stop people outside the study door, and coaxed Mama to go elsewhere.

Anyway, every time the county gentleman has to go out in men's clothes, it is a chore for the four of them.

If it weren't for the fact that the courtyard of the county prince and the princess of the county was far apart, and there was always a house where she had never allowed people to write and paint, saying that it was a calligraphy and painting that she wanted to make quietly, it would have been demolished eight hundred times.

Although the Tang Dynasty is civilized, and there are often women walking on the street, but like her county gentleman, there are not many people who pretend to be men to ride horses and shoot arrows outside......

Dong Xue had the heart to persuade her, but Li Yuntong had a big idea since she was a child, and she couldn't be persuaded at all, so in desperation, Dong Xue had to help Li Yuntong change into men's clothes with a bitter face, draw her eyebrows thick, use turmeric powder to yellow a white jade-like face and neck, and tie her hair well, and use a towel to "tie it in a bun, and then wrap it in silk."

The chest is wrapped in white silk, and even the ear piercings are filled with goose fat and turmeric powder, and you can't see it if you are not careful.

Dong Xue's craftsmanship is good, and with this dress, Li Yuntong has changed from a picturesque woman to a handsome yellow-faced scholar.

Even if the king and wife of Jiangxia County were standing opposite, they couldn't immediately recognize that this was their delicate girl.

Li Yuntong finished dressing up, and Chuncao, who looked quite a man, had already changed his clothes, and the master and servant stood together, without any fat and powder.

This is also the reason why Li Yuntong was able to walk outside many times in men's clothes, and he has not been exposed.
