"Why don't you resist? Are you stupid?"
Ji Nianqin was mumbling to herself, but the prince didn't move at all except staring at her and blinking continuously.
"Don't give me the eye. I'm a teacher, and I won't mess around with my students."
"When it was used, they painted their faces white. Although it was poisonous, beauties risked their lives to "cover up all the ugliness with a white complexion," and even took tiny amounts of arsenic every day to achieve a whitening effect from the inside out."
"No way? It's poisonous? Teacher, is this new boy testing the poison on himself?"
"Exactly. Because in this class, we have to give it a try. Since us women's faces are quite delicate, I'm going to borrow this male student's face. After all, you're the only male student in the classroom right now."
As soon as Ji Nianqin said this, there was a constant noise under the table, and it seemed that several male classmates were running away frantically.
"Teacher, I'm thinking about a question. Is there someone who is not afraid of death and wants to frame other concubines for her with arsenic? Wouldn't that mean she wants to kill others so that she can advance to the next level, just like completing a game?"
"Actually, the ancient times weren't as rife with intrigue as you imagine. What you know are just some palace dramas that distort the truth. You can treat them as jokes. In reality, most people were very kind. There might only be one black sheep in a palace, but because the surrounding environment was generally kind, they had no way of breeding viciousness. This is what I want to tell you now: as long as the whole class is united, your grades will definitely improve."
"Teacher, theoretical knowledge is not very useful to us teachers. The key is to rely on practice. There are many nerds who are super good at studying, but they fall apart when they enter the society."
"That's an isolated phenomenon. Most people with high IQs can go anywhere. Add a little bit of spiritual energy, and they're perfect. Today, I'll try to use this class time to discuss with you the complete ancient makeup system, and to prevent you from having too many misunderstandings about concubines. Just like the wicked concubine who bullied me before, her head is lying on the ground, chopped off. So bad people will never last long and can only live in shame."
As Ji Nianqin spoke, she touched the prince's face. Seeing that all the redness and swelling were covered, she began to trim his messy eyebrows.
"You're so messy, bear with the pain, damn, why are you bleeding?"
Ji Nianqin put on her standard eight-teeth smile again and turned around to show her classmates her makeup box.
"What we use to draw eyebrows is equivalent to our eyebrow pencils and eyebrow powder. As early as the Warring States Period, girls knew how to draw their eyebrows darkly. During the Han Dynasty, the "distant mountain eyebrows" style was popular, that is, eyebrows were drawn long and curved, as beautiful as distant mountains."
"Teacher, but I feel like the makeup I put on this boy is a bit awkward."
"During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, beauties drew their eyebrows broad and short, resembling laurel leaves or moth wings. Realizing that broad eyebrows might appear dull, they began to evenly diffuse the color from the edges of the eyebrows outwards, a style that still looks very sophisticated today. Okay, everyone, look! I've changed his eyebrows to thinner ones. Could anyone tell me the difference between the two looks..."
