The princess asked Ji Nianqin to sit on a platform and blindfolded her.
"What? What are you doing?"
"That's fair. You think I can't see through your tricks? You want the people outside to judge you, so you take the initiative to distribute food and clothing."
"You've wronged me, Princess. Take the cloth off my eyes immediately, or you're clearly bullying me. These people in the palace are all your subordinates, yet you insist on making things even more difficult for me. I strongly disagree with your actions."
"Well? You're not innovating anyway. You're talking about makeup from previous dynasties. Why would I need you? I can look up historical materials myself."
"Princess, since you put it that way, I'm going to use my trump card."
"Okay, come on, I want to see, blindfold you, what's your trump card?"
"I can create the makeup looks that will be popular in the future, can you?"
"What? Ji Nianqin, are you saying you can predict future makeup looks? You're really bragging. Okay, then let me open my eyes today."
The princess snorted, and Ji Nianqin felt full of strength.
"I'm not bragging. Let's wait and see. Since you can use dirty tricks, why can't I?"
Afterwards, the princess and Ji Nianqin began to compete in front of many concubines in the palace. Ji Nianqin seemed to have been prepared, as if she knew that the princess would call the people away, and even invited a martial arts champion to be the referee.
"The lip makeup of Qing Dynasty women was mostly brighter in color and applied to a smaller area."
Ji Nianqin touched the fake prince's mouth and nodded quickly.
The princess didn't seem to be outdone. "Qing Dynasty? Are you kidding? I've never heard of that. They say you haven't innovated, and you're just starting right now? Then I'd say the wind is gentle today, so let's use the sandalwood mouth."
Then, the princess took a light red lipstick and applied it on the mouth of one of the charming concubines.
"The dark eyebrows are imprinted with a faint green, and the red lips are faded with a thin red."
"What? You've even finished the rouge? How quick! I'll get the rouge done while I'm at it."
Ji Nianqin began to work up and down, using her feet to help the fake prince apply rouge.
"Hey, hey, there's no need to be so anxious. She was lying to you. No, no, she's not that fast."
Before the fake prince finished speaking, Ji Nianqin began to hum softly, "So I lightly dyed it with rouge, and lightly applied sandalwood to my lips."
"Are you singing the tune of 'Liu Qingniang' from Dunhuang?"
"Yes, it was Her Royal Highness who cheated first. Look who knows how to do it. She used the modern YSL gold tube lipstick and RVshine No. 4 on her lips, secretly matching them. This is what it looks like."
"What? Ji Nianqin. You dare to imitate me?"
"I didn't copy you. I followed the Qing Dynasty. It's said that the T-shaped lip shape was popular in the imperial court."
“You, you…”
The princess seemed a little regretful for blindfolding Ji Nianqin. If she still lost like this, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
"Forget it, don't come back and say I bullied you. I won't compete with you anymore."
Ji Nianqin laughed, and when the palace maids took off her blindfold layer by layer, she was already seeing stars.
"Who are you?"
"I'm your model?"
Ji Nianqin swallowed her saliva. Fortunately, the princess did not remove the models' final veil. It turned out that Ji Nianqin had painted the fake prince's nose and teeth...
