Li Jingchen looked at everyone's reactions and explained awkwardly, "My son has his mother's surname."

Everyone then realized that he was a son-in-law. However, everyone who could attend the banquet was a veteran, so everyone just knew it in their hearts, and no one would say it out loud. After all, in this era where men are respected, this is an extremely shameful thing.

But there was one person who was quick-witted. Minister Wang, who was sitting in the back, said quickly, "I see. You are the son-in-law!"

The whole place erupted in excitement, and everyone turned to look at Minister Wang. Minister Wang scratched his head and looked at everyone in confusion, "Did I say something wrong? Why are you all looking at me?"

Everyone shook their heads speechlessly and stopped looking at him.

Li Jingchen didn't seem to mind it, and said calmly, "I was fortunate to be rescued by the Jiang family back then, and I was able to save my life. Later, I became a son-in-law. I can achieve what I have today thanks to the Jiang family, and more importantly, the emperor's promotion."

The emperor was very pleased to hear these words. "Lord Li is truly a man who knows how to repay kindness. It is a blessing for our country to have a general like you."

The emperor raised his glass, and everyone followed suit to celebrate. Li Jingchen carried Yubao back to his seat.

Although Yubao was not afraid of strangers and was very brave, he was still a little scared when he saw everyone holding up their glasses and sitting in the same posture. He hugged Li Jingchen's arm tightly and kept calling "Daddy".

Li Jingchen put down his wine glass and began to comfort him softly. All the ministers now unanimously believed that Lieutenant General Li was a henpecked husband and was afraid of his wife, because usually it was women who took care of children, so how could it be a man's turn!

After this little episode, the banquet in the front hall continued as planned.

After Jiang Tuantuan spoke for half an hour, he finally finished. Mingman listened very carefully and kept clapping and cheering.

She also begged Jiang Tuantuan to make a unique piece of jewelry for her. Jiang Tuantuan asked, "What kind do you want?"

Ming Man thought about it, but came up with nothing. "I haven't decided yet. I'll tell you when I do. Now, please help me choose a bracelet to go with this dress. I trust your judgment."

Matching is also Jiang Tuantuan's hobby, so she immediately agreed. Mingman took her to see her jewelry in a small compartment inside the main house. Jiang Tuantuan was dazzled as soon as she entered. The room was full of cabinets, and the cabinets were full of various jewelry of all types.

Ming Man said proudly, "This is all the kingdom I built. Not bad, isn't it?"

Jiang Tuantuan nodded vigorously, "This is simply a woman's paradise!"

When Mingman heard this, she felt like she had found a soulmate. Someone finally recognized her. It felt so good.

Because she had to choose a bracelet, Jiang Tuantuan started to choose from the bracelets.

Princess Mingman also wore a pink dress today, but pink was the base color, and various flowers were displayed on it with rose red. The small stamens in the middle were sewn with gold thread, embellishing the entire dress. It looked noble and very eye-catching.

Because the clothes are too gorgeous and eye-catching, the accessories should be simpler, but they must also match the clothes.

Jade and jadeite bracelets are excluded, and the silver ones don’t match well.

So her eyes were fixed on the gold bracelet, which matched the flower stamens on the clothes. However, many of Mingman's gold bracelets were very thick, and the patterns on them were very complicated. If she wore such a bracelet, it would look too complicated.

After picking and choosing, she saw two thin gold bracelets in the corner. They were round and thin, and the patterns on them were very simple. Jiang Tuantuan took them out and put them on Mingman's wrists.

When you wear the two bracelets together, they make a slight jingling sound when you shake your arm.

The first time Mingman tried wearing it this way, she instantly fell in love with it. She used to think the bracelet was too thin and too plain, and she never wore it, so it was almost covered in dust. But after Jiang Tuantuan matched it with it, it instantly looked great.

Jiang Tuantuan picked out two simple gold hairpins from the cabinet. The hairpins were inlaid with white jade, which looked noble and elegant.

Jiang Tuantuan took off the big gold bracelet that Mingman was wearing on her head, and combed her hair into a flying bun again, inserting a hairpin on each side. The hairstyle was very simple.

Mingman's hairstyle was originally very complicated. She also thought that the more complicated the hairstyle was, the better it looked, and the more hair accessories it had, the more beautiful it was. However, after Jiang Tuantuan changed it into this simplest hairstyle, it looked exceptionally good.

The original sense of richness and vulgarity disappeared in an instant.

Mingman admired Jiang Tuantuan's aesthetic taste very much and talked to Jiang Tuantuan for a long time on this topic.

"If your clothes are too flashy, then you can wear simpler jewelry, otherwise it will look tacky. The same goes for makeup: highlight one or two areas. If you highlight your entire face, it will cover up your natural beauty and make you look worse."

Mingman took Jiang Tuantuan's hand and asked her to put on makeup for her again. Jiang Tuantuan was also happy to do makeup for others, so she readily agreed.

Pearl and Jade were stunned. The princess never let anyone touch her face, but today she let someone put makeup on her. How much must she like it!

Pearl and Jade have followed the princess since they were young, and they all feel inferior to her.

There were very few cosmetics in ancient times. There were only eyebrow ink, lip balm, and rice powder made from crushed rice. There was no such thing as eye shadow. Jiang Tuantuan secretly decided that she must study rouge. She would definitely make a lot of money in the future, hehe.

Jiang Tuantuan used eyebrow ink to draw according to Mingman's face shape. Mingman looked very delicate and gentle, so Jiang Tuantuan drew a willow-shaped eyebrow, painted her lips with a light pink, and made her lips look very full. Because Mingman's lip shape was originally very beautiful, she emphasized it.

After finishing the whole set, Mingman instantly felt that she had become more beautiful. She couldn’t tell where she was more beautiful, but she just felt more beautiful.

Jiang Tuantuan was also very happy to see that she liked it.

Ming Man took Jiang Tuantuan's hand and said, "Why don't you stay in the palace from now on? I'll ask my father to give you a female official position. How about that?"

Jiang Tuantuan refused. "My goal is to do business, make a lot of money, and then travel all over the country. I don't want to be limited to one place."

Although she was rejected, Mingman was not angry at all. Compared to people who were obedient in everything, she preferred people who had their own ideas and goals.

"Then you must come to the palace to play with me more often in the future. By the way, it's been so long, and I still don't know your name!"

"My name is Jiang Tuantuan."

Ming Man covered her mouth. "So you're Jiang Tuantuan, the one who proposed a new dam repair method and developed winter wheat."

Jiang Tuantuan nodded, "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"
