Chapter 120 - Surprise. (1/2)

” Now let me show you something else. I am sure you will be more shocked than this.” As Zhao Ming said this to Lu shi, she turned towards her bed. She removed her pillow and picked up a small container that was placed under it.

She showed it to Lu shi and said, ” Tada.. Here's the surprise.” she squealed in excitement.

Lu shi looked at the small box then at Zhao Ming. She smiled awkwardly.

She had never seen Zhao Ming behaving like this. It's still hard to get used to this.

Zhao Ming walked up to Lu shi and opened the small box and showed to Lu shi and said, ” See, this is the surprise I was talking about. I know you were worried about me, being overshadowed by Xiao Li in the Banquet. But there is no way she can do that.”

” Because who am I? I am Xi..Zhao Ming. The Empress of the Ji Dynasty, if everyone can topple over me, then what's the meaning of being the Empress.” Zhao Ming said haughtily.

She almost said, Xie Ming. She needs time to adjusts to this new identity. She breathed out.

Lu shi looked into the container and she could see something dark pink-colored thing inside. But she could not guess what it is. She looked at Zhao Ming with a questionable look, as if asking her to explain further.

Zhao Ming looked at Lu shi and sighed, then she spoke, ” I know you wouldn't know what it is. Because I must be the first one to make in this country.” she laughed proudly.

Lu shi looked at her confusingly. The other two maids stood behind Lu shi to see what Zhao Ming has prepared.

Though Zhao Ming has asked for somethings to prepare yesterday, but they had no idea how Zhao Ming will use them.

So they were also curious about the thing that Zhao Ming has made.

Zhao Ming looked at Lu shi and used her finger to dip in the box and used that finger to dab at Lu shi's Lips. At this Lu shi baffled and stepped back and asked, ” Miss, what are you doing.”

Zhao Ming held her on the place and said, ” Shhh. Just stay like this for a minute. I will tell you what I am doing when I am done.”

After seeing her work, she turned to those two maids who were already shocked and said, ” Get me a mirror. Let her see my work.” as she said, she smiled smugly.

When Lu shi looked at herself in the mirror, she was shocked. She looked at Zhao Ming with surprised expression and said, ” Miss, what is this?” she said while looking herself in the mirror.

She...looked beautiful. Her lips felt soft and the pink color on her lips complimented her white complexion.

She touched her lips and felt its softness. It also smelled nice. She has never seen anything like this.

The color that the ladies from noble families or the consorts use was very light as it was colored by rubbing the rose petals. It's light and not much visible.
