The witch was moving at a speed as fast as a groundhog. If she continued like this, not only would Ji Nianqin's mother not be able to wait, but even she herself would have a hard time catching up in her lifetime.
"Let me help you."
"No, do you want to grab the shovel and take the opportunity to escape? I won't give you that chance."
The fortune teller was panting with exhaustion, and she still had to answer many of Ji Nianqin's questions, such as why women could only do a few pitiful jobs.
"No way. You live in this dynasty, and that's just the way it is. Unless you can become the queen, you can seek benefits for women. Otherwise, you will always be a man's appendage."
"So troublesome? Queen? I won't be one. I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat if I look at the emperor's old face all day. Anyway, I traveled to a place where girls can do whatever they want. Anyway, you won't understand even if I tell you. You are too stupid."
Ji Nianqin rolled her eyes and thought of another thing, which was her hairpin. She left it with Cao Hanhui last time, and she should get it back.
"Forget it, forget it. Since it's so troublesome, I won't go home for now."
"You've worn me out, and now you're saying you can't come back? Are you kidding me?"
Just when the witch was about to lose her temper, Ji Nianqin took something out of her pocket and twirled it next to her face. The witch's eyes were like flies, following Ji Nianqin's hand, looking around.
"Dangdangdangdang, this is the makeup box. Do you think I am a treasure box? I am Doraemon wearing a hairpin."
If the witch hadn't had a weak arm, she would have danced to exorcise the evil spirits for Ji Nianqin long ago. It seemed that there really was something mysterious about her that could not be explained.
"Witch, you are so kind to me. You can't even lift your arms, but you still dig a hole for me. If you were a man, I would definitely marry you. You are really manly."
"What a mess! Why are you giving me this? I don't need it for my daily work."
The witch said this, but her eyes were fixed on the makeup box.
"I'm giving this to you, witch. It's for drawing eyebrows. Drawing eyebrows has been the most popular and common makeup method since ancient times. However, beauties generally don't design according to their face shape. They just do whatever is popular. Of course, it can be a bit awkward. Beauties draw their eyebrows wide and short, resembling laurel leaves or moth wings. But wide eyebrows can make them look dull, so when drawing eyebrows, spread the color at the edges evenly outward..."
As Ji Nianqin spoke, she changed the shape of the fortune-teller's eyebrows.
"This is called a hazy brow, but if you have deep eyes, thin eyebrows may suit you better and make you look very charming. In Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame, there are mentions of Wu Zetian's broad and thin eyebrows."
Afterwards, Ji Nianqin handed the bronze mirror she was carrying to the witch.
"You girl, why are you still taking it out of your pants? It's too indecent. I won't take a picture. Yo, yo, yo, who is this without people? I feel like I'm the most beautiful woman in the dynasty. Maybe because I'm beautiful, I don't have to do such hard physical work, and I can hold the emperor tightly, so that I can enjoy endless wealth and glory."
The witch was intoxicated by her own beauty and kept winking at the officers and soldiers sent by the queen, seemingly forgetting Ji Nianqin completely.
"This witch has harmed so many people, and she's still thinking of using makeup to confuse the emperor? She's bringing disaster to the country and the people? It's time to teach you a lesson. Let's see if the Empress will let you go if I run away..."
