Chapter 56: The Banquet is Near
On the first day of King Jiang's banquet, Baili Lian and Wei Junyi went out early in the morning, saying that they were preparing a birthday gift, and Ji Qingyuan wanted to follow, but in the past two days, she always felt uncomfortable for no reason when she saw him, and for the first time she felt hypocritical.
Before Wei Junyi left, he told him that when he came back, Liang Tianmo must be waiting for him in gorgeous clothes and makeup, so Liang Tianmo was pressed by a group of maids to dress up, all kinds of rouge were put on a layer, and he took off a palette, his long hair was coiled into a heavy bun, full of red hairpins, and his whole body was full of gold and silver jewelry.
Liang Tianmo looked at himself in the mirror, like a Christmas tree full of gifts, the whole person was extremely gaudy under the dazzling gold and silver line, and he was a pretty beauty if he didn't dress up.
Su Ling and the other maidservants broke their mouths on the side, picking out some fancy things to bring to Liang Tianmo, wishing that she would be laughed at at the banquet.
Seeing that Yuehao brought another pair of gold bracelets, Liang Tianmo suddenly stood up from the maidservant and shouted, "Enough." ”
"Not enough," Su Ling took the gold bracelet in Yuehao's hand and put it on the dresser, "The young lady came back to Jiang Cheng for the first time, and Jiang Cheng didn't understand Jiang Cheng's rules, and the birthday banquet has always been an occasion for the city lords and wives to compete for beauty." In previous years, I have seen several times by the side of the young city lord, and they are dressed more than the young lady, and everyone said that the appearance of the city lord's wife can be regarded as another face of the city lord. I say this, but the young lady understands? ”
"I understand, I understand, but I know better than you what I look like and what clothes I wear for you. I can't appreciate this glaring dress. ”
"Don't you think that these jewels are not worthy of your identity?" Su Ling picked up a gold bracelet, with a moderate thickness, and two opposite phoenixes carved around it.
Liang Tianmo picked up another gold bracelet and said, "Sister Su will also go to the banquet tonight." ”
"Yes, I'll go with Yuehao." Su Ling couldn't hide his pride.
"In this case, I will give you and Yuehao one of these gold bracelets, remember to wear them." Liang Tianmo took Yuehao's hand and placed one of the gold bracelets in her palm.
Yuehao didn't dare to look at Su Ling, and Su Ling bowed generously and said, "Young Lady Xie rewards." ”
"Thank you, Young Lady Xie."
"I'm not the only one who has entered the royal city, what's the use of me dressing up alone, the two of you also sit down and dress up, and use all the rest of the things." Liang Tianmo was wearing a few pounds of things and had difficulty moving, and his neck hurt when he walked a few steps.
Ji Qingyuan was about to go out to find Liang Tianmo, but Qingzhu who rushed to the room and pushed her into the bathtub, and the two maidservants opened their bows left and right to wash her body.
"I only washed it last night, why do I have to wash it again?" Ji Qingyuan played with the petals in the water.
"Miss forgot, in three hours you will enter the royal city with the young city lord. We dressed up the young lady well, and bathing and changing clothes was the first course. ”
"You made me think of one thing, what to do in novels and TV dramas, before the sacrifice, you always have to bathe, change clothes, and fast for three days before you can be considered officially pious."
Qingzhu opened the wardrobe and picked out four sets of gorgeous clothes: "Miao'er, Zheng'er, you two hurry up." ”
"There's no need to be so grand, right?" Ji Qingyuan was frightened by Qingzhu's posture.
"Miss doesn't understand, King Jiang's birthday banquet has always been the biggest festival in Jiang City, and it is more lively than the New Year."
The three of them rubbed Ji Qingyuan wildly, and she only felt that she was going to be rubbed off a layer of skin by them. After washing, she was pressed by Qingzhu to sit in front of the dresser, and the three of them began to pound her long hair: "Tap and tap." ”
"What kind of bun does the young lady want to comb?"
"I don't know anything about buns, you look at the comb. Don't be too old-fashioned, not for me. ”
"I'll do it, you put on her makeup." Qingzhu picked up a hairpin and pulled a part of the black hair, coiled a few braids into a butterfly shape and fixed them with small hairpins, and the rest of the long hair was scattered.
Ji Qingyuan closed his eyes and let the two maids smear the thrush on his face, the phoenix eyebrows were like the moon, the nose was straight, the cheeks were slightly dizzy, and the face shape of the goose egg face was extremely beautiful.
"Miss, change your clothes." Qingzhu picked out a set of white and purple palace clothes and unfolded it.
The figure full of hundreds of miles of refinement, he is gentle, and he is indifferent. After the events of the day before yesterday, he was better and more thoughtful to her, but she had a pimple in her heart and couldn't go back to the past.
Ji Qingyuan opened her eyes and looked at the flowers and moons in the mirror, feeling strange for the first time.
Lilac embroidered bandeau with purple trim on white background and four-leaf leaf pattern decoration, skirt embroidered with a large magnolia flower, white coat purple waistband, outermost cover of the same color outer tulle skirt divided into six petals, like a summer lotus.
"What does the young lady think of this Jade Palace?"
"It's beautiful." She glanced out the window and the sun was setting.
"Mademoiselle, do you want to try another one?" Qingzhu said and brought another set of goose yellow palace clothes.
"It's on the body, don't change it. That's right, Miao'er. Ji Qingyuan stroked the broken hair on her sideburns, "That, um." ”
"The young city lord went out with the acropolis lord and didn't return." Miao Er didn't wait for Ji Qingyuan to finish speaking.
"Oh."
"Miss, wait, maybe the young city lord has something to delay."
Su Ling is changing Liang Tianmo with a set of bright red moon roses, not lining Liang Tianmo, but lining the weird makeup, the two weird echoes each other.
"The young lady wears this moon rose, and the makeup on her face is still lighter."
"Well, so please change it for me." Liang tilted her forehead silently, and her head was full of golden red.
"I can't help it, red is good, red is festive."
"Sister Ling is right."
"Young lady's white skin is more suitable for red." A few people, you didn't say a word to me, and you didn't rest assured of Liang Tianmo's words at all.
"Bang dang" Wei Yunyi pushed the door in.
"I've seen the young city lord."
Between the plain dresses, the bright red color is particularly conspicuous, and when he saw Liang Tianmo's respectful face, the corners of Wei Junyi's mouth twitched, "It's ugly." Liang Tianmo puffed out his chest and let him see enough in all directions, although he disliked it.
"Young City Lord, Young Lady, she ......" Su Ling was interrupted by Wei Junyi before he could explain.
"Get out."
"Yes." The maidservants exited the room one by one, and Su Ling secretly stayed for a while before closing the door.
"Come here." Wei Junyi spoke.
Liang Tianmo walked up to him in a formal posture.
Wei Junyi couldn't help laughing and pulled out most of the golden hairpins in her bun, and the last jade hairpin was pulled out, and her long hair fell to her waist. Her height was only up to his chin, and her eyes fell right on his neck, remembering the beautiful man bathing that night, the flush climbed up to his cheeks, but fortunately his face was covered with thick rouge.
"Go wash your face."
Liang Qian Mo couldn't wait to take off the heavy makeup on his face early, and Su Ling estimated that she used eight or nine boxes of rouge, which was no different from wearing a mask. Wei Junyi picked out a moon-white dress from the palace dress on the bed when she washed her face, "Change it." ”
"Can you turn around?" Liang Tianmo took his shirt and lowered his head.
"Hurry up." He said impatiently, not trying to shy away.
Anyway, there is a classic saying that doesn't say, "I haven't seen anything in your body."
Liang Tianmo turned his back to Wei Junyi and took off the eye-catching moon rose, and changed into an elegant cloud dress, revealing a delicate collarbone, the sleeves were wide and long to the skirt, and the shoulders were embroidered with sky-blue morning flowers, and the skirt gradually changed from shallow to dark, blooming into a sea of flowers.
Wei Junyi's starry eyes were full of this bottomless gloom, and he was calm on the surface. As she fastened her belt, he pulled up half of her long hair and shook it with a tinkling sound.
"Alright."
Seeing that he was leaving, she hurriedly said, "I haven't put on the rouge yet." ”
"You don't need to." He pulled her out the door.
