BXBX NOVEL Chapter 73
The reflection was identical to reality. Consort Wei didn’t even bother to check her lips and lipstick. Staring at the mirror, Empress Zhangsun did the same.
“Noble Consort, do you find it pleasing? Are you satisfied?” Li Lizhi inquired.
Consort Wei nodded silently, and Empress Zhangsun quickly asked, “Lizhi, is that in your hand… a mirror?”
Li Lizhi nodded, “Yes, isn’t it excellent, Mother Empress!”
Empress Zhangsun and Consort Wei nodded repeatedly. It was not just good. The effect was extraordinary!
“Where did you get it? Why haven’t we seen it before?” Empress Zhangsun asked.
Li Lizhi smiled and said, “This was a gift from an expert.”
“What’s the cost?” Consort Wei hurriedly asked.
Li Lizhi thought for a moment but vaguely remembered buying it from some store.
“About twenty silver taels, I think!” Li Lizhi wasn’t sure if she had understood it. “I can’t recall clearly. I’ll ask when I get a chance.”
Consort Wei loved it and took the small mirror from Li Lizhi’s hand.
“Twenty taels of silver, not expensive!” Consort Wei admired herself in the mirror, quite satisfied.
Empress Zhangsun also agreed with a nod.
Twenty taels of silver and gold!
“If there are more, bring one for the Empress.” Empress Zhangsun took the small mirror from Consort Wei, suddenly feeling that the bronze mirror was no longer appealing.
“Sure, no problem!”
“Lizhi, prepare a few more!” Consort Wei wanted to get some for her close friends.
“Alright, no problem!”
Nobel Consort Wei pursed her lips and said, “The lips feel different, much more comfortable, and the taste is also good!”
“This is for the empress!” Li Lizhi handed the lipstick she used before to Nobel Consort Wei.
Nobel Consort Wei was delighted, “This is a good thing, can’t take it for nothing. How much is it? I want a few more!”
“This one is a bit more expensive than the small mirror.”
Nobel Consort Wei twisted it and saw the lipstick. It can last long, and a little more expensive than the small mirror is acceptable.
Li Lizhi picked one, “This one belongs to your mother!”
Empress Zhangsun is also welcome. The lipstick is really useful.
“This one looks better. Is it the same?” Nobel Consort Wei pointed to the lipstick inside the box.
“This is not lipstick. It’s lipstick!” Li Lizhi picked up a lipstick and opened it, saying, “It looks similar, but it’s different.”
“Lipstick? What is this? What is it for?”
“This is lip gloss!” Li Lizhi changed the term.
Empress Zhangsun and Nobel Consort Wei understood at this moment and looked at the red lipstick.
“There’s still such lip balm!” Nobel Consort Wei was shocked again.
Li Lizhi said with a smile: “Mother, my son will smear it on you!”
Empress Zhangsun smiled and waved her hand, “Forget it, Empress Mother! You smear it on others.”
Nobel Consort Wei looked at Wei Yao, her close maid, and said, “Lizhi, why don’t you smear it on Wei Yao.”
Both Yushu and the embroiderer next to her were envious. Nobel Consort Wei said so, and Empress Zhangsun couldn’t say anything more.
“Yes!” Li Lizhi opened the makeup box, and Li Lizhi remembered what Xiao Ran taught Li Lizhi before.
There are also steps to apply lipstick, which is almost the same. It may not be as good-looking as Xiao Ran’s smear, but it’s not much worse.
With Li Lizhi’s consent, Wei Yao knelt beside her.
Li Lizhi said: “Get closer to this princess!”
“Yes, Your Royal Highness!” Wei Yao moved.
Empress Zhangsun and Nobel Consort Wei also watched curiously.
“Don’t move… slightly open your lips, yes… just like that, it suits you better,” Li Lizi instructed as she applied the lipstick on Wei Yao.
Li Lizhi observed the shape of Wei Yao’s lips while applying foundation powder. Xiao Ran said that everyone’s lips had different shapes and thicknesses, and the way they applied them was also different.
Li Lizhi repeated what Xiao Ran said, and Empress Zhangsun Wei and several court ladies were surprised for a while. Didn’t expect this to be so important.
