Chapter 355: Superb Acting Skills
Miao Xiaomei put the ugly makeup she had designed for Fu Feiqian on Liu Lan's face exactly as it was. Liu Lan looked at the face in the mirror and actually laughed.
Liu Lan seemed to see her former self through the mirror. Before she traveled through time, didn't she look this desolate and haggard? And this not only looked like her, but also like Xiao Zhao, like Madam Xu, and like countless women who had wasted their youth in the cold palace.
Miao Xiaomei stared at Liu Lan's smile in a daze. She was clearly making herself look ugly, yet she was still smiling so happily. However, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
She tied Liu Lan's hair behind her.
Liu Lan said, "Let me do it, you don't know how to do this hairstyle."
Miao Xiaomei was surprised to see Liu Lan bunting her hair with extremely skillful techniques, with three bamboo sticks inserted through it and a few strands of hair falling behind her ears. At first glance, it looked very simple, a bit like a female Taoist priest. But if you look closely, you will find that the hair in the bun is layered, and it requires some technical skills to bun it up.
Miao Xiaomei had never seen this hairstyle before, neither in real life nor in any pictures online. She asked Liu Lan, "What kind of hairstyle is this?"
“It has no name.”
Not every woman in ancient times knew how to comb her hair. Some women of noble birth had never touched a comb in their entire lives. After they came to the cold palace, they were no longer served by maids and had their hair disheveled, like crazy women. Later, someone invented this bun, which was easy to maintain and gradually became popular. Over time, it became a special hairstyle for women in the cold palace and also a mark of women in the cold palace.

...
When Miao Xiaomei looked at this hairstyle from behind, she felt a sense of desolation for some reason.
When Liu Lan appeared on the set with her new look, everyone was so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.
Oh my god, she is Princess Huayang???
If Liu Lan's Princess Huayang was a delicate flower blooming in the sun, then Liu Lan at this moment was a withered flower, close to dying. The contrast was too great.
On the other side, Fu Feiqian also completed her re-styling. The makeup artist, whose skills were not as good as Miao Xiaomei's, applied her best gorgeous makeup to Fu Feiqian, which was very suitable for Fu Feiqian's temperament. Fu Feiqian was not qualified to wear Zhong Jiangnan's Hanfu, so she changed into the princess's dress that the prop master had borrowed before.
Fu Feiqian came to the set with great vigor, like a proud lioness, with an arrogant and proud posture, and stunning beauty. She was a princess with a style completely different from Liu Lan.
It is undeniable that after the two exchanged their styles, Fu Feiqian was indeed more eye-catching than Liu Lan.
Fu Feiqian glanced at Liu Lan who was a few steps away, and her eyes seemed to say, "Seeing the current results, what else do you have to say?"
Liu Lan said nothing and walked silently to the heroine's position.
The other actors also returned to their respective positions. Fu Feiqian stood behind Li Sitong with her chin raised proudly. Now it was her turn to look down at Liu Lan, this ant!
At Lin Zhi's command, the experimental play began.
"Wang is here!" the eunuch's sharp voice rang out.
Liu Lan followed the eunuch into the hall. She lowered her head and looked at the ground. The eunuch led her to the center of the hall. She slowly bent her knees and knelt down.
Her back was very straight, but she never raised her head. The people present could only see her plain hair bun and silent figure. They were a little dazed, as if they saw this woman, who would spend her whole life accompanied by green lamps and ancient Buddhas, living in loneliness and poverty.
Perhaps it was because her kneeling posture was too pious and humble that people couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Some of the onlookers were still whispering to each other, but after seeing this scene, they all fell silent.
The other actors were only treating this scene as a game and were somewhat nonchalant, but they were also shocked by Liu Man's kneeling and began to immerse themselves in the role. Wang Xiangqin said with a complicated look in his eyes, "Wang, please stand up."
Liu Lan did not move. "I am of low status and dare not stand on the same level with your majesty, the queen, the princes, and the ladies of the palaces. I can only kneel down to show my respect."
Wang Xiangqin and Li Sitong were both stunned. This was different from the script!
In the script, Wang Zhaojun stood up as ordered, and her lines were also changed by Liu Man.
For a moment, Wang Xiangqin didn't know how to respond. Li Sitong reacted faster and asked, "Your Majesty said that you asked for a marriage with the Xiongnu."
"Yes, Queen."
"You know this is a road of no return. You will never be able to return to your homeland in this lifetime."
