Chapter 264: Give her a robe and draw her eyebrows
"Gift?" Song Yunchu's eyes showed a hint of curiosity. "It seems that there are no special festivals recently."
"I have something good to give you, why bother picking a day?" Jun Li Luo raised the corners of his lips slightly, "You'll know later."
"So, I have to stay in the palace tonight. If I run away, will you still give me this gift?"
"This is specially prepared for you. If you don't see it today, you will have to see it another day." Jun Li Luo pretended to be mysterious, "But, this gift cannot be easily seen by others, so don't blame me for not bringing it to the imperial study. Even if you accept the gift, you have to keep it secret."
When Song Yunchu heard what he said, he knew that he definitely didn't want to say it directly.
But think about it, people like to have a sense of ritual when they are in love. If the surprise is known in advance, there will be less anticipation.
Since he wanted to remain mysterious, she simply didn't ask any more questions.
In the following time, the two of them still had a clear division of labor as before. They spent most of their time reading memorials, and played chess during breaks. However, it was not the common Go, but a new type that Song Yunchu introduced to Jun Liluo - chess.
She had drawn the pattern of the chess pieces two days ago, and Jun Liluo ordered the Palace Affairs Office to rush out a set, which was completed just last night.
Song Yunchu was very skilled at chess. Even though he had never played it before since coming to this world, he quickly found the feeling once he started playing. Without thinking too much, he was able to defeat Jun Liluo step by step.
"The general draws the car."
"Double Cannon General."
"Your Majesty, I appreciate your giving in."
The joy brought by the winning streak brought a smile to Song Yunchu's face.
While the Dog Emperor is still a novice, kill him without leaving a single piece of armor. Once he becomes skilled, it will be difficult to defeat him.
Jun Liluo was also very open-minded about his defeat.
He had long discovered Song Yunchu's obsession with winning or losing. Whether it was a martial arts competition, a chess game, or even just playing a game to kill time, she was determined to win.
It was this persistent desire to win that enabled her to rise again and again and win every time.
It didn't matter if he lost. The more she won, the better her mood would be. When she was in a good mood, she would be more willing to stay in the palace. If she was in a bad mood, she might run away without even eating.
Although he prepared a surprise for her, she didn't seem anxious at all. Instead, he was the one who couldn't wait to let her know his thoughts.
Thinking of this, Jun Li Luo glanced at the sky outside the window.
The day finally darkened.
After dinner, Jun Liluo kept Song Yunchu in the east warm room of Changle Palace on the pretext of studying the treasure map. Chief Steward Li ordered people to prepare snacks and hot tea, then led the palace people out.
"There's no one here now, take out the gift you prepared and show it to me."
"In the cabinet." Jun Liluo looked past Song Yunchu and looked behind her, "Why don't you go and open it yourself and take a look."
Song Yunchu turned his head and walked towards the cabinet.
The moment the cabinet was opened, two huge brocade boxes came into view.
The sandalwood brocade box was extremely exquisite, with delicate patterns carved on it. As soon as she got closer, she could smell a faint fragrance, like an incense made from flowers and fruits, refreshing.
Not only that, the brocade box was also tied with a silk ribbon, and the silk ribbon was knotted into the shape of a flower.
Song Yunchu took out the box and placed it on the table, reaching out to untie the silk ribbon. She had to admit that she was really looking forward to it at this moment.
In modern times, this elaborately decorated box would usually contain jewelry and dresses.
She had no shortage of jewels, as there were plenty in the palace, but she couldn't wear them. As for clothes... she had indeed never prepared women's clothes for herself.
Since I knew I wouldn't have the chance to wear it, I didn't think about preparing it.
The moment she opened the brocade box, the corners of her lips unconsciously raised.
She guessed right.
The clothes in the box were a combination of light green and light aqua blue. The material was soft to the touch, and looked very much like the highest-grade Liuyun brocade produced by the Chu family silk shop, but the overall texture seemed to be more refined than Liuyun brocade.
I don't know how it was woven, but the patterns on the surface of the clothes are faintly luminous, as if gems were broken into pieces and sewn into the fabric, but it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all to the touch.
"I know you like the Chu family's embroidery. This dress was made by the Chu family's embroiderer. The material is blue satin and Danxia silk tributed from foreign countries. When I saw it, I thought of making two sets of clothes for you. I just don't know whether you like lighter colors or brighter ones. If you are willing to tell me, I will make it according to your favorite style in the future."
Listening to Jun Liluo's words behind him, Song Yunchu turned around and opened another box.
Inside is a fiery red dress, as red as the blazing sun. Its embroidery pattern is relatively simple, yet very solemn and majestic, which makes people stunning at first sight.
[When you wear this dress, you can imagine that it will give you a strong aura. 】
[The dog emperor has a really good aesthetic sense...]
Listening to Song Yunchu's sigh, Jun Liluo showed a smile in his eyes and then came behind her.
"If you like, just try them all. No one will know except the two of us, so feel free to try."
As he finished speaking, he opened the drawer under the table.
Song Yunchu looked down and saw that the drawer was filled with all kinds of rouge and powder.
"I know you've long been accustomed to dressing like a man, but you've never forgotten that you're a woman. I remember one time when we went to Zuixianlou for dinner, Hu Siniang was serving dishes, and you kept staring at her and praising her for her beautiful clothes. Others thought you were just flirting with your concubine, but I knew in my heart that when you were praising her, you were also admiring her clothes. You picked that for her, right?"
"You like nice clothes and jewelry, but your status doesn't allow you to wear them, so you always try your best to ignore these things that belong to women. But occasionally you still show that you like these things. In this case, why not give it a try? Not for others to see, just for your own happiness. Of course, I am also happy to appreciate your women's clothing."
Song Yunchu grabbed the clothes in his hands, and a ripple of emotion arose in his heart.
Yes, she was used to dressing up as a man, but she never forgot her identity as a woman.
If she wasn't bound by the world, she would never be willing to live to old age as a man.
Jun Liluo understood her.
It is natural for women to like beautiful clothes and makeup.
Song Yunchu looked at himself in men's clothes in the mirror, raised the corners of his lips, then untied his belt and took off his men's clothes.
She took off her middle shirt again and picked up the light green dress on the table and put it on.
After putting on her clothes, she raised her hand to take off the man's hair crown, let her long black hair down, and took the comb handed to her by Jun Liluo.
The air was so quiet that you could hear the sound of the wooden comb rubbing against your hair.
In order to seek fame, wealth and fortune, she has been carefully hiding her identity as a woman. Now it is not bad to be able to be herself for a short time.
After she had her hair tied up, she picked out an elegant white jade hairpin and put it on.
It has been a long time since she last put on makeup, but she was very skilled at it in the past. Although the rouge and powder of this era are different from modern cosmetics, she knows the general steps and it is not difficult for her to get started.
In order to dress up as a man and look handsome, she had always drawn sword-like eyebrows on herself. Just as she was about to wash them off, suddenly a white and slender hand came into her sight and turned her face away.
She raised her eyes and saw Jun Li Luo holding a wet towel in his right hand. He placed it on her eyebrows and rubbed them gently, quickly washing away her sharp eyebrows.
Song Yunchu gladly accepted his thoughtfulness at the moment, but his subsequent behavior surprised her.
He picked up the eyebrow pencil on the table and was going to help her draw her eyebrows.
Song Yunchu hurriedly stopped him, fearing that he would draw a mess because of his clumsy hands.
"Yun Chu, have you ever heard that if a couple is deeply in love, the man will draw the eyebrows of the woman."
"Don't listen to me, this eyebrow drawing is not something you can do with just your hands, stop making trouble, give me the eyebrow pencil."
"I don't know the others, but I'm confident in this eyebrow drawing."
Jun Li Luo looked at her with a firm gaze, "Just trust me this time. If the painting is ugly, you can punish me however you want."
When Song Yunchu saw that he had said this, he agreed to let him try.
Jun Liluo placed the eyebrow pencil on her brow and began to draw gently.
His hand holding the eyebrow pencil was unusually steady, which surprised Song Yunchu.
His movements were slow, which made it apparent that he was not very skilled, but his expression was focused, as serious as when he usually read memorials.
Song Yunchu waited quietly until he curled his lips at her and said "beautiful", then she raised her eyes to look at the bronze mirror.
His masterpiece took her by surprise.
He drew crescent eyebrows, which were soft and smooth, and this is also one of the eyebrow shapes that many young women like.
"It's really beautiful." Song Yunchu praised generously, and then asked him with a smile, "Did you learn it on purpose?"
The skill of drawing eyebrows is not a compulsory course for royal children. With a little thought, you can know that he learned it in order to help her draw her eyebrows.
"This is not difficult." Jun Liluo said, "Many things can be learned as long as you study hard. Besides, I am very intelligent and learn quickly."
"Yes, yes, you are very smart." Song Yunchu was in a good mood at the moment, so he just went along with what he said.
She selected some watercolors that she wanted to use and began to put on makeup in front of the bronze mirror.
The gouaches prepared by Jun Liluo were delicate and smooth, and felt very good to use. She quickly finished her makeup and finally applied a light layer of water-red lipstick.
After finishing dressing up, I looked at the person in the mirror and found that he was both familiar and unfamiliar.
After looking at men's clothing for a long time, she looked at women's clothing and felt uncomfortable, but also a little surprised that even she herself was surprised.
It’s really beautiful.
Not only did her makeup look beautiful, but the clothes Jun Liluo picked for her were also beautiful.
Jun Liluo stared at her in a daze for a while. After coming to his senses, he said, "Yun Chu, try the other one too."
"Um."
Song Yunchu originally planned to try both pieces, because she liked both the elegant style and the bright and grand style.
She took off her clothes and picked up the red dress that was as bright as the sun.
She did not avoid Jun Li Luo's gaze at all. Jun Li Luo's heart was beating fast, but he did not move a step.
It was a rare opportunity for her to be herself, so he let her dress up nicely. Even if she wanted to play with rouge and powder all night long, he would accompany her to the end.
When you change into new clothes, you naturally have to change your makeup.
Song Yunchu slightly increased the eye makeup and lipstick, but not too much. After adjusting to a level that satisfied herself, she looked at the person in the mirror and saw that he looked bright and elegant.
If you appear in a crowded party in this outfit, you will definitely look very charismatic and heroic.
The dog emperor really knows how to choose clothes.
"You never need to dress up to awe." Jun Li Luo's words rang in his ears, "Whether you are wearing men's or women's clothes, even if you don't have gorgeous clothes, but only a piece of coarse cloth, your aura among the crowd will not be reduced in the slightest."
When Song Yunchu heard this, he was very happy. He raised his hand, touched Jun Liluo's face, and kissed him on the cheek.
This guy speaks so well, he deserves a reward.
Her gentle kiss made Jun Liluo's already throbbing heart beat even faster, and he couldn't help but put his arms around her waist.
"Yun Chu..." He looked at her carefully painted face, his eyes a little stunned, "It's so beautiful..."
Although he had not drunk any alcohol tonight, he was a little drunk.
Song Yunchu listened to his heartfelt praise, smiled and pecked his lips, "You are also very handsome."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her body floating in the air and was picked up by Jun Liluo and walked to the bed.
He placed her on the couch. Seeing him pressing down on her, she reached out and put her hands on his shoulders. "What are you doing?"
"You kissed me first." Jun Liluo said in a deep voice, "You kissed me twice."
"What's wrong with me kissing you?" Song Yunchu raised his eyebrows, still holding his shoulders to prevent him from moving forward.
Jun Liluo was a little annoyed, "You took the initiative first, isn't this a clear sign to me? If you don't want to be close to me, why are you teasing me?"
"I'm not teasing you, it's just that you have poor self-control." Song Yunchu teased him on purpose.
"You always like to bully me." Jun Liluo gritted his teeth and grabbed her wrist. "If I can remain calm in front of you, then I am not a human, but a stone sculpture."
She is not him, so how can she understand the turmoil in his heart?
He had no intention of doing anything to her, but she insisted on kissing him first and even laughed at him for his lack of self-control.
Seeing that he seemed angry and aggrieved at the same time, Song Yunchu withdrew his hand and let him lean down.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Song Yunchu put his arm around his waist and rolled over to press him down. "I really like this gift you gave me, so - I will definitely love you well, Your Majesty."
Jun Liluo: "..."
After bullying him, she wanted to "pamper" him? She was really getting more and more capable.
He must let her know how powerful he is today!
Thinking of this, he reached out and grabbed the back of her head, held her lips, and rubbed them fiercely.
After a moment, the breathing of both of them quickened a little. Taking advantage of Song Yunchu's unguarded moment, Jun Liluo turned over and pressed her to the inside of the bed.
But who would have thought that halfway through the flip, Song Yunchu reacted extremely quickly, grabbed his shoulders and pushed him back!
Jun Li Luo felt his body sink and wanted to turn over again, but Song Yunchu stretched out his right hand and pressed his elbow against his upper body to prevent him from turning over.
Jun Liluo: "..."
Forget it, I won’t struggle anymore.
Unable to turn over, he could only grit his teeth and pull at Song Yunchu's belt.
Even if he was suppressed, he could still make her know how powerful he was.
"Pull it gently!" Song Yunchu warned in his ear, "I like this dress. If you dare to tear it, you'll have to wait."
Jun Li Luo paused his movements when he heard this.
Yes, the gift he carefully prepared cannot be damaged.
So he calmed down a lot and slowly untied her belt.
