"Well, I will have someone hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow to celebrate my princess' birthday!"
The emperor said with a smile that since he was in charge, he would definitely make the ceremony as grand as in previous years.
On the day of the banquet, many dignitaries came, including Shen Lingli and Hua Yunyun.
Shen Lingli was there because her father was the prime minister, and as for Hua Yunyun, it was because they lived under the same roof, so it was not easy for her not to invite them to participate.
"Han'er, is there anything you want?"
The two of them were currently in Li Han's bedroom before she got married.
Lu Li didn't know what to give Li Han, so he wanted to ask her what she thought. If she wanted anything, he would give it to her.
Lu Li's question reminded Li Han of the key to wealth.
"Then I have to think about it carefully!"
After saying this, Li Han pretended to be in deep thought, then quickly distracted himself to call the system.
Li Han: [You bastard, if I ask directly for the key to the treasure, will he give it to me?]
System: [You are delusional.]
The system said mercilessly.
Lu Li's current feelings for Li Han are not deep enough to trust her to the point where he would even give the key to his finances to Li Han for safekeeping.
You have to know that Lu Li has countless money and is rich enough to rival a country. It is enough for him to recruit soldiers, and an army of millions.
Li Han: [If I don’t take advantage of this opportunity, when will I be able to ask for it?]
The tone of his voice was slightly anxious.
System: [Once the employer has completed his mission to a certain extent, he will hand it over. Don't worry, get out quickly and don't let him get suspicious.]
Li Han: [At this rate, how long will it take? I don't care, I want to ask!]
System: [If you act this way, you'll appear superficial, and your favorability will be gone.]
The system reminded silently, and then entered a dormant state.
Li Han cursed the system in his heart a hundred or eighty times. Wait until the mission is completed to the highest level? Then how long do we have to wait? It can't be until the finale, right?
If that's the case, then wouldn't she be old by the time she completes her mission and returns to reality?
"What's wrong with Han'er? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Li noticed that Li Han's little face had rich and changing expressions, so he asked.
"Huh? No, it's fine."
Li Han came back to his senses and said with an awkward smile.
"But have you thought of a gift?"
Seeing that Li Han was unwilling to talk, Lu Li did not ask any more questions.
Everyone has their own little secrets in their hearts, and they don't want others to explore them, and he is the same.
"I thought about it, and there's nothing in particular I want."
Li Han shook his head and said.
It's not that she doesn't want something in particular, but that what she wants, he may not be able to give it to her!
I'm afraid that if she opens her mouth, people will kill her.
"Let me put on your makeup first. We can talk about the gift later."
As he spoke, Lu Li picked up the things on the dressing table and began to help Li Han put on makeup.
Suddenly Li Han felt flattered.
The few times she asked him to help with makeup, he always looked reluctant, but unexpectedly, this time he took the initiative to help her with makeup.
Is this the legendary privilege of the centenarian?
This time the makeup took a long time to complete and Li Han became impatient.
"Are you ready?"
Li Han asked with his eyes closed.
"Not yet, but soon."
As soon as these words came out, Li Han immediately complained in his heart.
I don't know how many times you've said this, but what's the result? It still doesn't work!
"Why did you spend so much time this time? Can't you just do it casually?"
Li Han complained with some dissatisfaction. The party was about to begin, but she hadn't even finished her makeup. Could it be that the party would already have started and she still hadn't finished her makeup?
"Today is your birthday, and all the guests' attention is on you, so naturally you should make up in a more detailed way."
Lu Li sketched each stroke only after determining the general outline in his mind, so it naturally took much longer.
"I've seen the list of guests. Besides some officials, there are also some of their families, and there are quite a few female relatives. If we're not careful, won't someone else steal the show?"
“…”
She couldn't find any words to refute him.
Well, in order to stand out among the beauties at this banquet and to maintain her aura as the protagonist, she endured it!
It wasn't until an unknown amount of time passed that Lu Li finally put down the tools in his hands.
"Okay, you can open your eyes now. Is there anything else you are not satisfied with?"
Lu Li looked at the woman in the mirror and was very satisfied with his results.
After hearing his words, Li Han couldn't wait to open his eyes, and what he saw was himself in the bronze mirror.
This time the makeup is indeed much more delicate than the previous ones, especially the faint blue hair on the neck is even more stunning.
When he was putting makeup on his neck just now, she thought that Lu Li had put too much powder on his face, so he needed to cover the exposed neck with powder. She never expected that he had also painted something on his neck.
The butterfly is not fully exposed, only half of it, and the other half is covered by the collar of the clothes. It does not look coquettish at all, but instead has an indescribable charm.
"There's a mark that's too obvious to be covered with powder, so I had to draw a butterfly on it. If you don't like it, you can draw something else. There's still time. It just might not be as detailed as this butterfly."
Seeing that Li Han kept staring at the butterfly on his neck, Lu Li thought that she didn't like it, so he explained to her.
"No, that's all."
Li Han shook his head and suddenly seemed to realize something. He looked at Lu Li in disbelief: "What did you say? Why are you drawing a butterfly here?!"
What did she hear just now? Could she have heard it wrong?
She hadn't looked in the mirror for the past two days, so she didn't know the condition of her neck.
"Well, I wasn't paying attention the night before, so the marks are a bit heavier and powder can't cover them up."
Lu Li's ears turned slightly red, and he added at the end: "I will pay more attention next time."
After hearing what he said, Li Han felt terrible, as if he was struck by lightning.
No wonder her father looked a little strange when he saw her yesterday, but she didn't care at the time.
She was completely clueless and was actually walking around with this scar on her, and no one came to remind her?!
It's so embarrassing!
Just when Li Han was about to curse, the system popped up.
System: [Ding! New mission: Please show your affection to Lu Li at the banquet!]
