Chapter 250 Hundred Birds
The order of the Beauty Picture level is also determined by drawing lots.
After much thought, Tu Mi decided that a gorgeous dress would better showcase her prince's extraordinary elegance and grace.
So, she combed a more complicated and fluffy conical bun for Princess Ronghua Zhu Huaizhen, with a bat-patterned and glass-beaded trembling golden hairpin inserted diagonally on the left side, and a large hexagonal red camellia on the right side. She wore gold-inlaid pearl and jade grape earrings on her white jade earlobes, and a gold filigree and ruby-studded double-petal pomegranate bracelet on her slender hands. She paired it with a cloud-like satin woven with colorful flowers and flying butterflies and a pomegranate skirt, and held a round fan with a red wood carved handle embroidered with silk and a Buddha's hand pattern. The princess was as beautiful as a painting and unparalleled in the world.
Applying lead powder, rouge, drawing eyebrows, sticking on flower ornaments, dotting dimples, drawing slanted red, and applying lipstick, Tu Mi was extremely focused in every step, making Zhu Huaizhen drowsy.
However, after this make-up, Zhu Huaizhen became even more gorgeous and unrealistic, like a fairy in a painting.
Her eyebrows are drooping, as quiet as a swallow on a beam. Her eyes are round and clear like a spring on a rock. Her lips are plump and as pink as a cherry. Her every frown, every smile, every expression is radiant and beautiful beyond compare.
The painters were all amazed when they saw this.
This Princess Ronghua, whether in a painting or not, is destined to be a stunning beauty that captivates the whole country.
Who is she after all? Princess Ronghua is just a straw beauty.
If a woman is breathtakingly beautiful, she is no longer a fool.
"Hey, what kind of incense is Your Highness burning today? It's not the fragrance of flowers." Tu Mi couldn't help but frowned.
"It must win." Zhu Huaizhen joked.
"Your Highness, stop joking." Tu Mi said angrily.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen shook his head and laughed.
She was holding a round fan with a mahogany carved handle and embroidered with silk flowers and Buddha's hand patterns, and she turned it gently. Her cloud-like satin skirt, woven with colorful flowers and butterflies and pomegranate patterns, spread out, making her look even more vivid.
Suddenly, a few butterflies, attracted by the fragrance, danced gracefully along with Zhu Huaizhen.
Zhu Huaizhen didn't know how to dance at all. He just casually picked up his orchid fingers and danced skillfully.
She was burning Shuangfeng incense today.
She is silent, graceful and elegant with light makeup, and her skirt is painted with double phoenixes and tulips.
Shuangfeng Incense is made by dissolving camphor in water, adding Indian old mountain sandalwood flakes, and infusing it with peach blossoms, asarum, and cloves. Its fragrance is light and cool, perfect for waking up from a nap to dispel lingering dreams. This incense should be lit with a willow branch, and a gentle breath reveals a scene of plumes of peach blossoms swirling in the smoke.
However, Zhu Huaizhen asked Tu Mi to fetch the bronze incense chopsticks, and then took out an incense ball from the white jade sachet, placed it on the incense plate with a crabapple flower pattern on a red brocade background, and then used a freshly picked red plum branch, gently waving it, making the curling green smoke form the scene of a phoenix flying.
Therefore, what Zhu Huaizhen wanted to attract was not butterflies, but birds.
However, just by smelling the fragrance of the double phoenix, hundreds of birds are eager to fly.
He also needed to give a look to Lou Li who was sitting on the roof, and play with willow leaves to transform the music of metal, stone, silk and bamboo instruments such as chimes, zithers, flutes, pipes, harps, xiao, and shengs.
Then, Zhu Huaizhen pretended to dance.
In an instant, a group of flying birds came. They were larks, thrushes, plum birds, red-tailed trogons, green-tailed trogons, cockatiels, red-crowned cranes, white peacocks, wild geese, etc. Their dancing was graceful. Compared with Zhu Huaizhen, their dancing was not a bit more skillful, which attracted everyone's attention.
Then, the lark sang with its clear voice, the thrush twittered a thousand times, the pair of plum birds with light blue feathers and two crimson flowers on their beaks tap danced, the red-tailed quetzal and the green-tailed quetzal danced together, wild geese circled, cockatiels chirped, red-crowned cranes stood proud, and white peacocks spread their feathers...
All birds pay homage to the phoenix, and she, Zhu Huaizhen, wants to let the world know that she is a princess as dazzling as the phoenix.
