The Ancient Growth Diary of a Little Zombie

After asking with the maid who led the way, I learned that today's lunch was originally scheduled not to be served separately.

It was because the Queen Mother suddenly decided to invite all the female relatives to appreciate the cosmetics called "something" that the seats for men and women were changed to separate.

After all, it is not appropriate for a group of women to be talking about rouge and powder with a group of foreign men around, and those grown men are not interested in these things either.

So the Shishi family separated. Sang Tiezi was led directly into the banquet hall by the maid, while Shishi and her daughter followed another maid to the flower hall in the backyard.

Because there were quite a lot of people coming today, both the men's seats in the banquet hall and the women's seats in the flower hall were placed close to each other, and people were placed next to each other.

If not for the fact that everyone was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an extraordinary demeanor, the scene would have looked a bit like a banquet in Sangjia Village.

When Shi Shi and her daughter arrived at the flower hall, the banquet had already started for a while.

But the banquet was very quiet, with only maids holding exquisite boxes in the center, silently shuttling back and forth busily.

As soon as the mother and daughter arrived, they were taken to sit next to Xu by the maid who had been waiting for a long time.

After fighting two battles in a row and consuming some of his superpowers, Shishi was really hungry. As soon as he sat down, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

He is the kind of person who doesn't care about anything else and only focuses on doing his job.

Therefore, the corpse did not notice that the women present were so absent-minded while eating.

Every single one of those eyes wanted to stick to the wooden box placed in the center of the field.

About a quarter of an hour later, the queen, who had been keeping an eye on Shishi, finally spoke slowly when she saw that the little girl was eating slower and slower.

"Haha~ I was inconsiderate.

I see these cosmetics lying around here, and they really make you all unable to eat them!

How about I have someone show you how to use those cosmetics and what the effects are when you put them on?

Let's eat and watch at the same time, so that you won't have to worry about it and miss out on the delicious food."

"Thank you, Queen~"

The female members of the family were overjoyed to hear this. After expressing their gratitude in unison, the queen waved her hand and gave a look to the palace maid beside her.

Not long after the palace maid received the signal and bowed and left, two girls in pink clothes of the same color but different styles walked over from outside the venue.

When the person came closer and they could see his face clearly, the women's eyes widened.

Didn’t the two girls from the Liu family sell themselves as slaves to Her Majesty the Queen?

But no matter how they were dressed, or their respectful yet confident and generous demeanor, they didn't look like slaves at all!

"Your servant greets Her Majesty the Queen~"

"Your servant greets Her Majesty the Queen~"

The two walked to the center of the field and knelt down to salute the queen.

After hearing how the two of them introduced themselves, the surprise in the eyes of the ladies disappeared, replaced by pity, or perhaps contempt.

The Queen was already accustomed to the way they called themselves, and during their time together, she also realized that the real relationship between them and Shi Shi was not master and servant.

But knowing that these two girls were a bit stubborn and persistent, the Queen did not persuade them as she had done in the past not to call themselves slaves.

After raising her hand to signal the two to stand up, the Queen smiled and said:

"Today, you two will demonstrate your skills to the ladies. If you can gain the praise of most of the people present, I will give you a great reward!"

"Yes, I thank the Queen~"

"Haha~ Let's get started then."

As soon as the queen finished speaking, eunuchs brought in two high stools.

Then a nanny who was about forty or fifty years old and a young palace maid who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old came forward from the side.

After the empress, concubines, princesses, and ladies at the top had knelt and performed the ceremony one by one, they sat upright on the high stools with expressionless faces.

Most of the people present knew that these two people were the queen's personal servants, and that nanny was the queen's most trusted nanny.

However, the looks of both of them can only be considered average, acceptable but not stunning. It is the kind of look that you would forget once you see them on the street.

The Queen originally thought that this arrangement would not delay the ladies from having a good meal, but...

Knowing that they were going to put on makeup on the spot, the female relatives were so reluctant to even blink this time, as if they were afraid of missing out on some important process.

Some ladies whose husbands/fathers held lower positions in their families were afraid of wasting food and displeasing the Queen because of the Queen's advice not to waste the delicacies on the plate. They were also afraid of missing out on important parts of the meal if they lowered their heads to eat.

In the end, he had to keep his eyes fixed on the four people, and blindly clamp them without even lowering his head.

The main point is to eat whatever you get.

Some people were so focused on watching that they would pick up anything and stuff it straight into their nostrils.

This scene happened to be witnessed by Shi Shi, who had just put down his chopsticks and raised his head.

This outrageous action made the corpse stunned at first, and then he observed the situation at the table, understood why they did this, and smiled secretly.

The corpse was also a wicked person. Not only was it not enough for him to laugh secretly by himself, he also poked her mother with his elbow and winked secretly so that her mother could see it as well.

Then the mother and daughter laughed secretly with sly eyes.

As for the Liu sisters in the center of the scene, I don’t know if it’s because they have been serving the queen in the palace during this period of time.

Despite being stared at by so many people, the two of them remained calm and not at all nervous.

Over the past few days, the two sisters have practiced using those cosmetics no less than a thousand times.

So even though they were being watched by so many people, the two of them were extremely at ease.

The two sisters are responsible for one person's makeup process, and the items used in each process are the same.

However, due to the different ages and skin colors of the nanny and the young palace maid, the colors and makeup application techniques used were different.

Every time they use a cosmetic, they will first hold it up to show everyone, and then explain its usage and effects in detail before applying it on their face.

This was probably the quietest and most intrigue-free banquet the Queen had ever hosted.

During the meal, apart from the voices of the Liu sisters and the occasional clatter of dishes and chopsticks, one could almost hear a pin drop.

Those who originally had doubts about cosmetics were now shocked.

Those pairs of incredulous eyes kept widening as the two sisters' hands moved, until they could no longer be opened.

If one of them traveled from the modern era, he would definitely say:

The contemporary Nuwa is pinching her face online.

About half an hour later.

"Your Majesty, we two servants have finished our makeup.

I just hope the Queen will allow them to change into clothes and hairstyles that better match their makeup; this will have a better effect."

The women, who were already speechless with shock, subconsciously echoed the words:

"Yes, yes, it's time to change clothes. It's time to change."

Anyone who can serve the queen will naturally be well dressed.

However, the two dresses that originally looked quite decent now seemed somewhat unworthy of their stunning faces.
