Chapter 127 Preparing to Enter the Palace to Celebrate Birthday
On the second day, not only the two families in the inn, but also the palace, the royal relatives and the houses of prominent ministers in the city all got up early in the morning to prepare.
The emperor's birthday is celebrated throughout the country, especially the ministers and their families who are preparing to attend the dinner today, all of them are trying their best to dress up.
Families with daughters or granddaughters of marriageable age have made full preparations, because they all know that the emperor's eldest grandson Li Chu is old enough to discuss marriage. If he can really please the emperor at his birthday banquet, he will be rewarded at the very least, and at the worst, he may even be granted a marriage!
So let alone the palace, even the streets were as festive as New Year, full of joy and excitement!
Since Liu Jingyue dressed Dugu Jingyao in a way that really amazed everyone last time, Dugu Jingyao changed into the pink ruqun early in the morning, but did not put her hair in a bun or put on makeup, and went to Liu Jingyue's room.
As for why Liu Jingyue returned to her room, it was because she had gone to Dugu Jingyao's room in her pajamas to sleep with her yesterday, and was picked up by Dugu Jingyao early this morning to go back to her room to clean up.
When Dugu Jingyao entered the room, she found that Liu Jingyue was still lying on the bed. Dugu Jingyao couldn't help shaking her head, walked to the bed, and then sat down.
Liu Jingyue felt someone sitting on the bed and thought it was Zhishu, so she said, "Zhishu, let me sleep a little longer, just a little while!" As she said that, she turned her head to the other side.
Dugu Jingyao was very patient. She patted Dugu Jingyue's shoulder without saying anything.
Seeing that Dugu Jingyue didn't respond, he patted her again. Liu Jingyue became a little anxious and said angrily, "Zhishu, didn't I tell you? I told you to stop making trouble, you..."
As he said this, he turned his head to the side of Dugu Jingyao. When he opened his eyes and saw that it was Dugu Jingyao, he no longer had the grudge to get up and sat up immediately.
Everyone was so amused by Dugu Jingyue's reaction that they almost died of laughter. Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Liu Jingyue saw a room full of people and felt so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. She whispered, "Sister, you're here?"
Dugu Jingyao was about to speak, but Liu Jingyue was afraid of being scolded, so she stood up first and said, "Sister, please wait a moment. I'll go wash up right away. Please wait a moment!"
Dugu Jingyao could only helplessly watch her sister's back as she walked away.
It only took an incense stick of time for Liu Jingyue to finish washing and changing her clothes. The only thing left was to put on makeup and tie her hair into a bun.
Liu Jingyue also changed into a light pink flowing fairy dress today, which made her look particularly delicate, like a flower fairy.
Liu Jingyue ran over and pulled Dugu Jingyao up: "Sister, come and sit here!" Then she pulled her to sit in front of the dressing table.
Then Dugu Jingyao just sat there and let Liu Jingyue tinker with it.
Liu Jingyue first used her homemade skin care products, which were fragrant and moisturizing. Then she started to apply foundation, only applying a light layer, drew a distant mountain eyebrow, drew eyeliner, and eye shadow modified with rouge. By the way, she also added some shadows, applied a light lipstick to look like a cherry, and then drew a peach blossom flower. In order to prevent the makeup from coming off, she also used homemade loose powder.
After the makeup was done, Liu Jingyue was very satisfied with her work. She instructed Shi Jian to make a flying fairy bun for Dugu Jingyao and simply inserted a peach blossom hairpin (this was Dugu Jingyao's own, or to be more precise, it was secretly given to her by Li Chu). Liu Jingyue also contributed a pair of pink coral earrings to complete the look.
After everything was completed, Liu Jingyue asked Dugu Jingyao to stand up and demonstrate to everyone. Shijian, Sijian, Zhishu and Shili were all so amazed that they couldn't take their eyes off.
Looking at everyone's reactions, Liu Jingyue was filled with pride, thinking: This skill cannot be wasted. If I open a rouge and powder shop, won't I make a fortune?
Just when Liu Jingyue was thinking about making money, Zhishu beside her spoke up: "Wow, the eldest princess is so beautiful! Like a peach blossom fairy!"
Dugu Jingyao thought it was a bit exaggerated and looked at Shi Jian, who nodded in agreement.
Although Dugu Jingyao was happy in her heart, she still said modestly: "Don't be so exaggerated, okay?"
Si Jian said that the princess was not exaggerating at all, what Zhishu said was right!
Dugu Jingyao turned to look at Liu Jingyue and said, "Thank you, Yue'er!"
Liu Jingyue was flattered. "What are you talking about, sister? We are a family. If you perform well, I will be proud of you, right?"
Dugu Jingyao flicked Liu Jingyue's head and said, "Alright, hurry up and pack up. I'll be waiting for you."
Liu Jingyue covered her forehead in pain and said, "Okay, sister, wait a moment, I'll be quick!"
Dugu Jingyao sat aside and watched Liu Jingyue tinkering with herself quietly. It took about an incense stick of time to finish.
Dugu Jingyao was surprised: "How come you are so fast?"
Liu Jingyue said, "I'm a child, so I don't need such complicated makeup. Just looking playful and cute is enough. What do you think, sister?"
Liu Jingyue still had her hair in a bun, and her face looked like she had no makeup on. Yes, this was fake natural makeup! She only had a small flower ornament, a pair of rose crystal earrings, a set of rose crystal necklaces, and bracelets. Her hair was not decorated much, with only a rose crystal hairpin with a tassel.
After they were dressed up, they went to Dugu Xin's room hand in hand.
