Dressed as a big boss Bai Yueguang, God does not allow salted fish to lie down

The Jing Kingdom seemed to be different from other dynasties. It had no privileges for relatives by marriage, and on the contrary, there was relatively strict control.

Qi Wanying was originally just a relative by marriage, her aunt was not a favorite concubine, and she had no prince by her side, so at that time, a hereditary daughter of a marquis dared to harm people in their family at will.

Now that Qi Wanying is the daughter-in-law of the Wenchang Earl's family, her status has naturally risen a lot more than before.

Qi Wanying's life was very happy and beautiful during her honeymoon period.

Qi Wanying planned to invite her sisters to have a picnic together, so she sent a message to Su Yuejian, inviting her to go to Yanting Mountain in the suburbs three days later for a banquet.

Su Yuejian didn't know what a skirt-tent banquet was, so she hurriedly asked Nanny Qin for advice.

Nanny Qin smiled and said, "Finally, someone has posted a message asking you to go play.

The little girl should go out and play more.

You are fourteen years old now, it's time for you to have some close friends.

The skirt-tent banquet is for you little girls, where you compete with flowers, eat and drink, etc. It's what little girls love to do.

Bring some pretty dresses and you’ll know when the time comes.”

On the day of the Skirt-Tent Banquet, the weather was fine and the ladies of each family would make arrangements with their elders at home in advance to go out for the banquet, and the housekeepers at home would prepare everything for the banquet.

Su Yuejian was also given a greenhouse flower in her hair by Xia He, and she put on light makeup and wore an elegant jacket and skirt.

Chunlan also prepared a lot of food boxes containing cold dishes and platters of meat and vegetables to load onto the truck.

Qiuju and Dongmei looked like maids, but they were actually guards. Uncle Wei drove the carriage, and the group came to the foot of Yanting Mountain in a mighty manner and met with other noble ladies.

Then, the organizer's maid led the way to a place with beautiful scenery.

As the carriages stopped one after another, the ladies inside walked out one after another. They were wearing gorgeous clothes, had delicate faces and elegant manners.

Each noble lady was accompanied by two or three maids, who carefully helped their ladies get off the car and took them to the designated location.

When all the ladies arrived, they began to greet each other.

Su Yuejian didn't know many noble ladies, so the post Qi Wanying posted was meant to introduce someone to Su Yuejian.

"This is Xiao Yuhong, the Princess of Xin'an County. This is Dou Haiting from the mansion of the Marquis of Jianing. This is Sun Jing, the daughter of the deputy commander of the army. This is Mei Xiuqing, the daughter of the Hanlin Mei. This one is Miss Su Yuejian, who has been widely rumored in our capital recently."

Su Yuejian still looks elegant and pretty. Her skin is as white as snow, her eyes are as bright as stars, her lips are as soft as cherries, and there is a faint blush on her face, which makes people love her.

As the ladies of various families looked at each other, they asked curiously, "Miss Su, you have a very unique scent. I wonder what kind of perfume powder you used?"

Another woman also echoed, "Yes, this smell is fresh and elegant, almost imperceptible, not as pungent as ordinary powder.

Miss Su, can you tell us which brand of perfume this is? We really like it."

Su Yuejian smiled and said, "This is not perfume powder, but a kind of spice that my girl made and mixed into skin care products."

Everyone was surprised after hearing this. One of them couldn't help but ask, "Miss Su's maid can actually make her own incense?"

"I'm just doing this for fun. If you like it later, I'll give you some."

These noble ladies were all under the age of seventeen or eighteen, and Su Yuejian was the youngest, so the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Girls are always very friendly, especially when they are young and innocent.

Although she was trying hard to put more hair accessories on her head and agate bracelets on her wrists, trying not to be too rude, but compared with these noble ladies in front of her, Su Yuejian's makeup was very light.

The group took their seats under the arrangement of the servants and maids.

On the table in front of her were fruits and sweet juices that the lady brought from home.

Several maids and nannies behaved in a proper manner, each holding a feather fan, sitting on the mat, and serving their masters.

The elegant and noble Xin'an County Lady Xiao Yuhong suggested, "At the Skirt and Tent Banquet, it's popular to compete in flowers, but after competing, it's still the same few things, so boring. Why don't we compete in makeup?"

Qi Wanying was very interested and said, "How do you fight? County Master, please tell me in detail."

"Why don't we each bring out a maid and put makeup on them for one stick of incense, and see whose maid's makeup looks better in the end?"

Xin'an County Lady's proposal was echoed by everyone. "This is a fresh and interesting way to play, why not give it a try."

Su Yuejian had no objection.

Dou Haiting from the Jia Ning Marquis's Mansion suggested, "Since it's a makeup contest, there should be some prizes. Everyone can bring out something, and the winner will get all the prizes, okay?"

Sun Jing, the daughter of the military commander, said with a smile, "I didn't prepare this in advance, so I might as well take this as a prize."

As he spoke, he took off a gold and jade bracelet from his wrist and put it on the tray.

Xin'an County Lady Xiao Yuhong took out a hibiscus warm jade gold hairpin.

Dou Haiting took out a set of precious spices, Qi Wanying took out a bottle of ten-year-old Peach Blossom Wine, and when it was Su Yuejian's turn, she took out a set of beautifully packaged skin care products.

She originally wanted to give some to the girls who were out for fun, but she didn't know how many people would come, so she brought a few extra. It was just right to take them out now.

Everyone was very curious about the soap and glycerin skin care lotion that Su Yuejian took out. Compared to gold and jade objects, new and novel things naturally made people more interested in finding out.

Sun Jing asked with a smile, "What is this? It looks a bit like the fragrant soap in the palace."

Su Yuejian said to everyone, "This is soap, with seven scents; this is glycerin for dry hands and feet; this is skin care lotion, which moisturizes the skin and makes it delicate and smooth."

After hearing Su Yuejian's introduction, everyone wanted to win the first place and were eager to try.

All the nobles sent their personal maids, except Su Yuejian, who brought Qiuju and Dongmei.

So I picked Qiu Ju, who was more delicate and pretty. The most important thing was to participate, and I didn’t expect to win anyway.

Su Yuejian asked Qiuju to wash her hands and face first.

Then he used a knife to slightly shave off Qiuju's brow peaks to make them look a little gentler, and also trimmed her eyebrows into a shape that was the normal slender eyebrow shape that young ladies in ancient times needed.

I applied skin care lotion on my face and waited for it to be absorbed. Then I asked Qiuju to apply a thin layer of pearl powder on my face.

The next step was to draw the eyebrows and add color. Su Yuejian was a person who held a scalpel all year round, so his hands were quite steady, so drawing eyebrows and eyeliner were no problem at all.

Su Yuejian used an eyebrow pencil to add black to the eyeliner, and then raised the end of her eye a little bit.

Then she used peach pink to lightly apply some blush on her face, and then used a small brush to apply some eye shadow on Qiuju.

Finally, use rouge dissolved in water and add a drop of glycerin, and it will immediately turn into lip balm.

Because of the addition of glycerin, the red on the lips immediately becomes shiny and sparkling, making people want to have a kiss on it.

As the finishing touch, Su Yuejian pinned the fresh flower on her head into Qiuju's bun.

The time for one stick of incense is up!
