Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 144 Makeup (1)

   Listening to Li Jing's "food protection" argument, Lu Mingyu couldn't help laughing and laughing. He smiled and glanced over: "Stop talking nonsense. It's getting late, hurry back to the palace!"

   Li Jing responded with a good mouth, but his feet did not move.

  As a prince, he has to listen to politics every day and learn to be a messenger. And living in the palace, it is not so convenient to go in and out. It was a rare encounter, and he was reluctant to leave at all.

  Lu Mingyu and him looked at each other silently for a moment, and said softly: "Li Jing, in more than half a month, you will come to marry me. When we become married, we can be together every day."

   After becoming a husband and wife, he likes to watch for as long as he wants.

   Li Jing smiled and hummed, still reluctant to leave.

  Lu Mingyu stood for a while, and finally opened his mouth to urge: "Go back! Don't come again during this period of time."

  Li Jing smiled helplessly: "Okay, don't rush, I'll go right now." He quickly bowed his head and kissed her forehead.

   With Lu Mingyu's agility, when she sensed Li Jing's "unscrupulous" intentions, she could calmly dodge. However, she did not dodge and let Li Jing drop a light kiss on her forehead.

   This light kiss comforted Li Jing a little.

   "Wait for me to marry you." Li Jing said softly, then turned and left.

  Lu Mingyu watched Li Jing's figure go away. The night wind was slightly cool, blowing head-on. The hair behind her ears was ruffled by the night wind and brushed against her cheeks.

   At this moment, Lu Mingyu couldn't lie to himself. She is also in a happy mood.

  Perhaps, she couldn't love a man so much in her life that she lost her head. However, she will do her best to be a good wife.

   The figures of Li Jing and his party quickly disappeared and disappeared into the night.

  Lu Mingyu turned around and returned to the house, with an unconscious smile on his lips.

  …

   After the Shangyuan Festival, Lu Mingyu and Li Jing's wedding date is approaching.

  According to the current custom, before a woman gets married, she should choose a day to inform her relatives and friends to add makeup. The day when Lu Mingyu added makeup is set on the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month.

   Add makeup and other things, all female family members come to the door.

   Capital ladies who have some friendship with Lu Mingyu also came to add makeup.

   Among them, there are Zhao Yu and Meng Yunluo.

   Zhao Yu had some friendship with Lu Mingyu at first, and later became a compliment of Lu Mingyu and 笄Li, and she is a future sister-in-law with Lu Mingyu. No matter how shallow Zhao Yu's mind is, she also knows the truth of forming good relationships.

  She and Meng Yunluo are not on the right track, and they don't like each other, so she is naturally willing to get closer to Lu Mingyu.

   To add makeup on this day, Zhao Yu gave a box of gems.

   Zhao Yu will not be stingy when he takes action. A box of gemstones of different colors, the big one is the size of a pigeon egg, the small one is the size of a thumb, and it shines brightly. It's good to keep the jewelry.

  Lu Mingyu smiled and thanked him.

   Zhao Yu smiled and blinked: "No thanks. By the end of the year, you have to come and add makeup to me, but don't be too thin."

   One sentence made everyone laugh.

  Lu Mingyu also laughed: "Don't worry, I'm sure you will be satisfied."

   Meng Yunluo snorted in her heart.

   In the past few days, Meng Yunluo has been in a gloomy mood, unable to eat well or sleep well. When she came to Lu Mansion today, she put on a cream powder to cover up the haggard eyes.

   In front of everyone, Meng Yunluo did not lose her temper, but with a faint smile on her face, she maintained her politeness, that's all.

  Lu Mingyu didn't take Meng Yunluo to heart either.

  …

  Meng Yunluo coughed and said, "Lu Si, I know you don't like rouge gouache, and you're not too fond of rouge gouache. So, I deliberately did what I liked and gave a special makeup gift. I think it will definitely suit your heart."

   said and gave an order, the maid behind him immediately stepped forward with a brocade box.

   That brocade box is narrow, flat and flat, and you can see what it contains at a glance.

Lu Mingyu didn't react yet, and Shen Lan, who was with him, slapped her face first: "Miss Meng San, what do you mean! Today is a good day for Xiaoyu to add makeup. What you give away is your heart. No one will pick. Your gift. What do you mean by giving a sword?"

   Before she got married, Shen Lan was also a well-known talented girl in the circle of noble girls in Beijing. She had a good temper and was more popular. Today, he suddenly became angry and turned his face, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

  Lu Mingyu was also a little surprised and looked at Shen Lan.

  Shen Lan had no smile at all, and her eyes flashed with coldness: "Miss Meng San doesn't have the heart to celebrate, so please go back! Our Lu family is very lively today, and it will not be deserted without you."

  The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Meng Yunluo together.

  Meng Yunluo was already sulking, but today she came to provoke him on purpose. Unexpectedly, Lu Mingyu hadn't gotten angry yet, but Shen Lan got angry first.

  Meng Yunluo was not afraid of Shen Lan, and she said with a smile, "Second Young Lady Lu misunderstood. Today is a good day for Lu Si to add makeup. It's not that I don't understand etiquette, so how can I send something that shouldn't be given."

   said, and opened the flat box by himself.

  The box contains not swords, but smooth and round pearls.

   Generally speaking, the boxes in which pearls are placed are mostly square. Who would put pearls in a box of swords? It was clear that Meng Yunluo did it on purpose, to make everyone misunderstand.

  It is best to provoke Lu Mingyu into rage on the spot, and then open the box and hit Lu Mingyu in the face.

  Lu Mingyu was not fooled, but Shen Lan bumped up first. Meng Yunluo was not polite. In front of everyone, she first made Shen Lan embarrassed.

   Shen Lan really choked.

  Lu Mingyu's voice sounded faintly: "I'll accept it after you give it your mind. On the day you put on makeup, I will prepare a gift carefully, go to add makeup, and give you a surprise."

   Before Meng Yunluo could appreciate Shen Lan's expression, Lu Mingyu's reply came.

   Meng Yunluo looked at Lu Mingyu's glamorous face, and the flames of jealousy in her heart were like being blown by the wind, and she couldn't suppress it. If it wasn't for some reason, I don't know what to say.

   Zhao Yu saw that something was wrong, and immediately grabbed Meng Yunluo's hand and said, "Hey, I'm suddenly a little sulky and want to go out for a walk. Meng San, come out with me!"

   forced Meng Yunluo out of the house.

   Meng Yunluo was pulled out involuntarily, with anger in her voice: "Zhao Yu, what are you pulling me out for!"

Zhao Yu rolled her eyes impatiently: "No one is a fool, you can see what you want to do. Today is the day when Lu Si puts on makeup. If you provoke her like this, with her temper, if you really turn your face, Are you afraid?"

   "Don't be afraid!" Meng Yunluo said these two words without any confidence.

   Zhao Yu sneered: "Whether you are afraid or not, you know best. I really don't understand, what are you angry about? The marriage between you and the third prince was granted by the emperor's decree. It has nothing to do with Lu Si."

   "You're not happy, it's just because the third prince is still thinking about his old relationship and can't forget Lu Si. Then you can only blame yourself for not being able to hold your fiancé-in-law's heart together. What's your ability to anger Lu Si?"

  Meng Yunluo: "..."
