Chapter 270 Shen Li goes to the appointment
On the second day, after Chuchun changed Shen Li into Princess Fuxi's clothes, she sat in front of the dressing table and began to dress her up carefully.
Chuchun first picked up an exquisite peach wood comb and gently combed Shen Li's ink-like long hair, from the ends to the roots. Her movements were gentle and slow, and each stroke seemed to speak of meticulousness and concentration, combing the hair to be extremely smooth.
Then, Chuchun opened a carved dressing table and took out a white jade box filled with fine powder.
She dipped a proper amount of powder on a powder puff and gently pressed it on Shen Li's face, from the forehead to the cheeks, and then to the chin. With light movements, she spread the powder evenly, making Shen Li's skin look whiter and more delicate, emitting a warm luster like mutton-fat jade.
Then, Chuchun picked out a brightly colored lipstick and gently applied it on Shen Li's lips. The bright red color contrasted with her fair skin, making her look more radiant.
Afterwards, Chuchun picked up the eyebrow pencil and carefully drew eyebrows for Shen Li. Her technique was skillful, and she made the eyebrows thin and slender, with the tails of the eyebrows slightly raised, adding a bit of nobility and elegance to Shen Li.
Finally, Chuchun inserted a gorgeous golden hairpin in Shen Li's hair. The hairpin was inlaid with dazzling gems, sparkling brightly in the sun.
She also pinned on a few delicate pearl flowers, which complemented the gold hairpin and made it look even more gorgeous.
Paired with a pair of small earrings, they swayed gently with Shen Li's movements, emitting a charming glow.
After everything was tidied up, Shen Li looked at herself in the mirror quietly, carefully examining herself.
Although this body is only nine years old, wearing this gorgeous dress and carefully dressed up in early spring, it exudes a maturity and nobility that transcends age.
Her eyes were clear and firm, as if containing endless wisdom and strategy. Her petite face looked even more delicate against the backdrop of the gorgeous headdress.
Shen Li gently stroked the clothes on her body, thinking to herself that today's appointment would definitely not be easy, but she was fully prepared. No matter what Bai Yu's purpose was, she would respond with her intelligence and courage and would never back down.
Shen Li took the carriage and soon arrived at Yayun Building. The Yayun Building, with its carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and brackets, looked particularly magnificent under the warm spring sun.
There is a lot of traffic and people coming and going in front of the building, which is very lively. It can be seen that it is a place where dignitaries come to show off their elegance on weekdays.
Bai Yu had been leaning on the railing on the upper floor, looking into the distance. When he saw Shen Li's carriage slowly stop, he immediately stood up, hurried downstairs, and walked quickly to the door to wait.
Today he was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, a mutton-fat jade pendant around his waist, and a jade crown on his head. He had an upright posture, a handsome face, and a look of joy and anticipation in his eyes that was hard to conceal.
After Shen Li's carriage stopped, Bai Yu stepped forward personally, stretched out his hand, and said politely: "I am sorry for not welcoming you to County Princess Fuxi." His voice was as gentle as jade, with just the right amount of enthusiasm.
Shen Li, supported by her maid, gracefully stepped down from the carriage. Today, she was dressed in the gorgeous attire of Lady Fuxi, with gold jewelry on her head. Her face had been carefully made up, making her look even more charming and lovely, and she exuded a noble aura.
She raised her head slightly and looked at Bai Yu. A barely perceptible scrutiny flashed in her eyes. Then she smiled softly and said, "Second Master Bai, you are too polite. I am grateful for your invitation. How could I not come?"
Bai Yu stepped aside, made a "please" gesture, and said, "Please come in, County Lady. Today, a famous singer has come to Yayun Tower. He has great singing skills and will surely give you a feast for the ears."
As he spoke, he walked side by side with Shen Li into the building. Along the way, he kept introducing the layout and characteristics of Yayun Building to Shen Li, his words full of enthusiasm and courtesy, as if he wanted to present all the beauty of this building to Shen Li.
After entering the building, Bai Yu led Shen Li to the private room that had been booked in advance.
The private room was decorated very elegantly, and the table was filled with exquisite snacks and fresh fruits.
Bai Yu first invited Shen Li to take a seat, then personally poured her a cup of fragrant tea and said, "This is the new Rain Dragon Well tea from this year. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."
Shen Li picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Hmm, the tea has a delicate fragrance and a mellow taste. It is indeed a good tea."
Bai Yu smiled when he saw Shen Li praising him, and said, "As long as the county lady likes it, that's good. As long as it's what the county lady wants, even if it's the stars in the sky, I, Bai Yu, will do everything I can to pick it."
Shen Li's heart was slightly moved, but she remained expressionless. She smiled and said, "Second Master Bai, what you said is a bit exaggerated. I am just an ordinary woman. How can I be worthy of your concern?"
Bai Yu quickly waved his hands and said, "County Lady, please don't be so modest. In my heart, you are extremely intelligent and elegant. You are a rare and extraordinary woman in the world."
As the two were talking, the gongs and drums had already started beating on the stage downstairs, and a wonderful opera was about to begin.
Seeing this, Bai Yu stopped talking and turned his gaze towards the stage with Shen Li. However, his mind did not seem to be entirely on the play. He occasionally turned his head to look at Shen Li, his eyes full of inquiry and admiration.
