Chapter 73: Princess Changle Live Teaching!

Li Lizhi held a small mirror and placed it in front of Consort Wei. Seeing the mirror, Empress Zhangsun and Consort Wei couldn’t help but widen their eyes. They naturally understood the purpose but found the effect a bit startling.

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.

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.
