The world of makeup through time travel

In a blink of an eye, it will be Li Xiangqing's tenth birthday. On the day of the birthday banquet, the big and small dignitaries in the imperial city all sent presents. Whether or not they stay for a meal is the second priority. Gifts cannot be neglected.

Although the Duke of Cheng's mansion is not as powerful and glorious as before, it is still the first-class mansion of the Great Yan Dynasty. What's more, not long ago, the eldest son of the Duke's mansion rescued Princess Zhenrou. The eldest son has blue eyes, and the rich and powerful also act according to the direction of the wind, so they must not be neglected.

Li Xiangqing wore the new clothes specially ordered by Li Wanhuai, and together with his father greeted the distinguished guests who came to congratulate him at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Several dining tables were set up in the hall of the Duke's Mansion. The guests who were welcomed in handed gifts to the butler, and Uncle Li led them to take their seats.

Near noon, all the guests had arrived. Li Wanhuai and Liu Surong sat on the main seat. Li Xiangqing stepped forward to salute, thanked his parents for their kindness in giving birth, and the parents smiled and said a few words of good wishes for their son.

The Duke’s Mansion has not been so lively for a long time. On the tenth birthday of the eldest grandson, so many dignitaries from the imperial city came to congratulate him. Although the old lady Chang didn’t like Li Xiangqing, she also participated for the sake of looking good. The two sat looking at each other with disgust, and each said some congratulatory words to Li Xiangqing.

After the simple ceremony, the birthday banquet began. Li Wanhuai arranged silk and bamboo to add to the fun. The dignitaries and Li Wanhuai chatted with each other, praised Li Xiangqing from time to time, and raised their glasses to say a few words of blessing.

Li Xiangqing sat next to his parents today, respectfully receiving blessings one by one, thanking all uncles, and Li Wanhuai also performed a gesture of a loving father today, paying homage to the guests one by one for his son who is not allowed to drink.

The birthday banquet was carried out in an orderly manner amidst the melodious sound of silk and bamboo. After some blessings, Li Xiangqing finally had some free time, ate some food, exchanged glances with his aunt and grandma, and nodded calmly.

Li Zhaoxian put down her chopsticks slowly, touched the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a distinguished guest who came suddenly.

"Eat well, ladies and gentlemen!"

With the familiar voice, everyone turned their eyes and saw that the one who was walking towards the hall was the famous Eunuch Zhao beside the emperor?

Although Eunuch Zhao is only a chief eunuch, he has served three generations of kings, and he has a bit of face in front of the emperor. Even the important officials in the court have to give him three points of courtesy.

Seeing that Eunuch Zhao was followed by ten young eunuchs, each holding a small box, he realized that the emperor sent Eunuch to give gifts!The dignitaries put down their chopsticks and stood up.

Li Wanhuai hurriedly led the people in the mansion out to greet him.

"It's so hot today, why did Eunuch Zhao come here?" Li Wanhuai naturally also saw the situation, but he still asked knowingly.

Eunuch Zhao laughed and said, "Isn't this the eldest son's tenth birthday? The emperor is thinking of the eldest son, so he asked this old slave to come and give him a congratulatory gift."

"Don't dare!"

Li Wanhuai was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly took the lead and knelt down, and waited for Eunuch Zhao to announce the reward before accepting the decree to thank him.

All the dignitaries were shocked, it was only the birthday of a son of the Duke's Mansion, and he was not even the son of the prince, yet the emperor was still thinking about sending Eunuch Zhao to give a gift?Sure enough, saving the emperor's sweetheart is not the same!

Eunuch Zhao saw the surprise of the dignitaries, his face was still smiling, but he said in his heart: Since the little princess heard the news of the birthday of the eldest son Li from nowhere, she has been whispering in the emperor's ears.What can the emperor do?The emperor is also very desperate!

After waving his hands for everyone to continue eating, Eunuch Zhao pulled Li Xiangqing aside and took out a long box from his sleeve.

"This is a birthday present from Princess Zhenrou to the young master. The princess is still having a temper tantrum and refuses to come here by herself."

Even though he was still angry, he did not forget to give gifts to his friends. The friendship between children is the purest.Thinking of that little guy, the corners of Li Xiangqing's mouth turned up slightly, and when he opened the box, there was a very delicate flower inside, which was not expensive but could reflect a child's heart.

When the little princess and Li Yingying were picking flowers together, Li Yingying told his brother that he liked flowers and often asked him to help pick them.Probably because of this reason, the little princess gave him a beautiful flower.

"Very beautiful, please thank the princess for me, father-in-law."

Eunuch Zhao nodded with a smile, and said: "The little princess has a noble status, and the other princes and princesses in the palace don't play with her, so the princes and misses of Chengguo's mansion are not afraid of the princess' status. The little princess likes this place very much, please." Mr. Li, don't care about the little princess's petty temper, the princess also needs you little playmates."

Li Xiang listened lightly, feeling a little distressed and a little heavy, he was destined to leave and could not be the little princess' playmate in the future, so he could only say: "If the princess doesn't dislike him, he is welcome to come and play in the mansion."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Zhao nodded in relief, and left with a group of young eunuchs.

Li Xiangqing looked at the back of Eunuch Zhao leaving, then glanced at the flowers in the box, and sighed, he only hoped that after he left, if the little princess came to play in the mansion, the third brother and second sister would be able to accompany him well .

At this time, at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, the little princess held the door frame and cautiously looked inside. Seeing Mr. Zhao coming out, she ran over with a smile.

Eunuch Zhao's heart tightened, and he hurried over to help the little princess who was staggering from running.

"Princess, the sun is so hot, why did you get out of the carriage?"

As he said that, Eunuch Zhao gave the servant girl who was following the princess a stern look. The servant girl was startled and at a loss what to do.

The little princess grabbed Eunuch Zhao and said: "I am the one who wants to come down. Eunuch has been away for a long time."

After the princess said so, Eunuch Zhao no longer cared about the maid. The maid was relieved, and quickly held an umbrella for the little princess to shade.

Eunuch Zhao took the little princess by the hand, led him to the carriage, and said: "Talk to Mr. Li a few more words, I wasted time, the princess don't blame me."

Naturally, the little princess would not blame her. Hearing what Eunuch Zhao said, she suddenly looked a little shy, and asked in a low voice: "Then...does Brother Xiangqing like the flowers I gave you?"

"I like it, Mr. Li said that he is very grateful to the princess, and invited the princess to come to the house to play."

The little princess was even happier when she heard that.

"That flower is the most beautiful one in the imperial garden. My younger brother said that brother Xiangqing likes flowers. If he likes them, I will ask my father to allow him to enter the palace, so that he can pick many beautiful flowers." The little princess Excited and chattering on his own.

Eunuch Zhao smiled when he heard that, the little princess always called the younger brother of the third son of Li's mansion, the second young lady and the second younger sister, and the emperor had corrected him several times, but the little princess said, "That's what Brother Xiangqing calls him!" The emperor had nothing to say in his rebuttal.The little princess is still too young to distinguish the rules of these titles.

"As long as the princess is happy, get on the carriage quickly, the emperor is waiting for you to have lunch."

"Grandpa, will you carry your back?" Because she was in a good mood, the little princess didn't feel hot at all, and happily stretched out her small arms to Eunuch Zhao.

Eunuch Zhao smiled lovingly, knelt down as he said, and carried the little princess on his back.The servant girl also raised the big umbrella and followed them.

"Didn't your father-in-law say I'm coming?"

"No, the old slave said the princess is still angry."

The little princess shook her legs happily, and pretended to be majestic: "Yes, I am still angry, and I can only play with him when I am angry, so that he understands that this princess cannot be offended!"

The little princess over there happily went back to the palace, and Li Xiangqing here received the reward from the emperor and re-entered the table to accept another round of appreciation from the dignitaries.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, especially the people at the foot of the imperial city. Seeing that the emperor has rewarded Mr. Li again, they should not be more enthusiastic.

At this moment, Li Zhaoxian said with a smile: "Qing'er has a thin skin, so please don't praise him, you might as well watch a dance and relax."

Listening to music and watching dances at various banquets is a common thing, and everyone didn't think it was wrong. Besides, they were really tired of saying good things, so they agreed one by one.

Li Wanhuai smiled and clapped his hands, and the tune in the hall was changed. Several beautifully dressed women were like nimble swimming fish, surrounded by another woman in a plain blue gauze skirt, entered the center of the hall, followed the tune The sound danced.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, everyone lost much interest in eating and drinking, and simply focused on watching the dance.

This dance is very beautiful, the music is very gentle, it can make people calm down in the hot summer, and it is very comfortable to watch.

However, when the woman in the plain blue veil escaped from the siege of many dancers, everyone discovered that this woman was actually the July girl? !

Although Miss Qiyue is a brothel girl, she is also the number one beauty in the imperial city. She has been invited to play or dance a song at various banquets in many dignitaries' residences, but she has refused all of them under the pretext of not going out of Shaohua Tower.The governments also dare not use force. Most of the imperial city's dignitaries check each other, and there are not a few people who admire the beauty of July. Today, your family forcibly took Miss Qiyue away. Before the banquet starts, there will be several other families Come to ask for someone.

And now Miss Qiyue actually appeared in Duke Cheng's mansion?What does it mean?Cheng Guogong's mansion is more face-saving than them?

All the dignitaries were thinking about it, but they didn't understand the reason.

Li Wanhuai also looked confused, obviously the lead dancer he arranged was not Miss July, why did she suddenly appear?Looking at my aunt with a smile on her face, I knew that my aunt knew, so I didn't say much.

After the dance was over, the other dancers bowed and retreated, but Qiyue did not retreat, and Shi Shiran saluted everyone.

"July is ugly."

Li Zhaoxian was the first to applaud, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you are worthy of being the number one beauty in the imperial city, Miss Qiyue appreciates it, and gave this old man this face."

Qiyue smiled slightly, and hurriedly said: "It's the old lady who shows her love, and Qiyue hasn't thanked the old lady yet."

The two sang together, and the dignitaries were stunned. So it was Miss Qiyue invited by Mrs. Shen?

Judging from the conversation between Miss Qiyue and Mrs. Shen, the two should have a close relationship. It stands to reason that in Duke Cheng's mansion, the one who can be directly called Mrs. Shen should be the Duke's mother, but in July The girl directly referred to Mrs. Shen as the old lady, so she must have known or even been acquainted with her before.But Mrs. Shen is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, so what does she have to do with Miss Qiyue?Can you actually let Miss Qiyue dance out of the Shaohua Building?

At this time, Li Xiangqing was eating a chicken leg, and asked everyone's doubts with a look of surprise.

"Is my aunt actually acquainted with sister Qiyue?"

"Speaking of which, even the Li Mansion doesn't know that the younger generation of the old family has made a new product and came to the Imperial City to promote it. It was helped by Miss Qiyue. The shop will open in a few days, and I would like to ask you adults to show it to you. .”

Li Zhaoxian laughed lightly when she said this, it seemed that she was very proud of the junior she was talking about.

The dignitaries didn't think too much about it, thinking that Jiangnan Seventeen Lingling had released some new products and wanted to open a new shop in the imperial city, and they all responded with a smile, thinking that the second batch of Qingying in July hadn't been sold yet, so they wanted to buy some new products. It is also good to give the jewelry to the wife and concubine back home.

Unexpectedly, after the birthday banquet, on the same night, each mansion received a return gift from Li Mansion. In addition to the latest jewelry, there was actually a box of July Qingying? !

The dignitaries of the imperial city were shocked. It turns out that the new things that have become popular in the imperial city in recent days are the products of Jiangnan Seventeen Linglings? !Jewelry is popular all over Dayan and even other countries, and now you want to come up with new tricks? !
