The princess of Nebuchadnezzar II, Anmeidis from the hills of Medes, was depressed because she missed the mountainous scenery of her hometown. Nebuchadnezzar II built a building for her, which has troubled countless historians in later generations. I don't know if the "sky garden" really existed.
If Lin Luoran hadn't returned to New Babylon in person, Lin Luoran might have softened his heart for such a beautiful legend when he occasionally glanced at those documents turned into characters. But the Princess Medes in front of her, even if she blushes when she mentions Nebuchadnezzar, Lin Luoran will never forget her other identity - the disciple of a Chinese cultivator.
The woman in deep clothes was surnamed Ji, and Edith didn't know the meaning of this surname, but Lin Luoran, as an authentic Chinese, couldn't ignore it. At this time, the Zhou Dynasty is about to collapse, and the Spring and Autumn Period has already appeared, but the Zhou family is still a legitimate royal family, Ji Chang, Ji Fa, these names, which Chinese people are not familiar with, the "Feng Shen Bang" who grew up with them, the Zhou royal family, It's Ji's surname...
A direct descendant of the Zhou royal family and a cultivator, why did he travel thousands of miles to accept a princess of Midi as his disciple? Is it just for Babel? If a building as conspicuous as the Tongtian Tower has been built, she and Yang Lisha can see it at a glance before entering the city. Therefore, at this point in time when she traveled here, has the Tongtian Tower not been built yet... These questions entangled her all night sleepless.
"Lin, can you attend my wedding tomorrow?" Edith was also sleepless all night. The woman in deep clothes never came back, and the female slaves never dared to talk to her. The night before her wedding, Edith simply stayed in this hall, talking to Lin Luoran and being her companion.
Lin Luoran could imagine that tomorrow would be an unrivaled wedding, but the woman in deep clothes restricted her personal freedom. With both paper symbols confiscated, Lin Luoran did not dare to challenge the authority of the woman surnamed Ji, so She shook her head regretfully at Edith.
Edith rested her chin, and the firelight cast a layer of glory on her smooth face.
"Actually, the teacher looks strict, but he is really nice. Don't worry, I will help you convince the teacher."
Lin Luoran burst into tears, and really wanted to tell this little girl that your "teacher" probably has no good intentions! However, to observe the national wedding in Babylon? What is the task given by Tongtian Tower for her to do... Will she integrate into this era and things will become easier
She thought about it, and still stared at Edith with the look of "I really want to go", er, it was a bit unkind, as if she was deceiving the little girl.
However, Edith was very happy, hugging Lin Luoran and giggling. It made her have a good impression of this foreign girl, and her personality is really similar to that of Li Xi'er. Hey, I don't know what kind of obstacles Papa Lin and Yuan Ye will meet again. I hope I won't be as unlucky as myself.
Except for the inside of the hall, it was still dark outside, and a group of female slaves rushed in.
They held flowers and satin in their hands, long skirts intertwined with gold threads, and belts studded with precious stones. It is conceivable that tomorrow's wedding ceremony must be complicated.
Someone brought a white viscous **, Lin Luoran smelled like milk, would you use this to bathe? She remembered the passage Xiao Xiaomu read on the bank of the Euphrates River. This is the Mesopotamia Plain flowing with milk and honey. It is not as barren as Lin Luoran imagined.
Edith took a milk bath and did not shy away from getting dressed in front of Lin Luoran. This is still an open era, unlike a certain dynasty in Huaxia a few years later, where women were ordered to obey four virtues, bind their feet, and be raped by strange men. One look at the meat of the neck of a woman may lead to death.
Edith is a passionate girl. A young body should be beautiful. Seeing her calm expression, there is no embarrassment.
Lin Luoran watched with great interest those female slaves put on gorgeous long skirts and belts for Edith, and two female slaves were braiding her hair and putting on makeup. Lin Luoran's eye-opening technique of makeup more than 2,000 years ago.
It was powder of two colors, blue and black. Lin Luoran sniffed it, as if it was ground from some kind of ore. Is it not good to apply the ore powder directly to the eye sockets in this way
Lin Luoran remembered that there was still a set of high-end cosmetics given by Baojia a few years ago in the space, which had not been opened. With the freshness preservation ability of the space, it should still be usable, right
She took out her things, and the colorful pearl eyeshadow really caught Edith's attention.
"Lin, what are these? They are so beautiful!" More than a dozen colors of pearlescent eye shadows, of course, are more eye-catching than the monotonous blue and black. Each color is like a color in a dream, and Edith can't put it down.
Lin Luoran coughed twice, "I think, maybe I can draw a different bridal makeup for the princess..."
The submissive female slaves looked at Lin Luoran in amazement, as if she was some kind of scourge that could eat people.
Lin Luoran touched her nose in embarrassment. This proposal is indeed a little risky. This is a veritable national marriage. Regardless of the red tape, there should be specific requirements for the queen's makeup and clothing, right
Edith's eyes lit up.
Lin Luoran had a premonition that she might be shooting herself in the foot.
...
"How did this happen?" Edith looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Her eyelashes were thick enough before, but they were not like they are now, like a small fan in the blink of an eye. In the left eye, a floating flower was outlined with blue powder. She didn't know this kind of flower, but it looked so pretty.
The eyebrows are thick, and after the skin is covered with a thin layer of white powder, there is no blemish at all.
Edith was surprised by what Lin Luoran said about the different bridal makeup, which was different from that of Medes and Babylon. It seemed strange at first, but Edith soon discovered that this weird makeup would be All her small blemishes are covered, her nose is straighter, her eyes are deep blue, her lips seem to be coated with honey, moist and shiny.
Edith was amazed by the product of the mysterious East. In fact, Lin Luoran was also quite surprised that the "bronze mirror" does not recognize national boundaries. Because it is polished smooth, it is clearer than that depicted in many novels. At least Edith can clearly see it. Your own face is much more reliable than taking photos with water.
The female slaves were terrified, and Lin Luoran was also under pressure, but the unusually ordinary stage makeup of the 21st century, with the celebration, should be passable, right
Putting a gold-studded ruby on her forehead for Edith, she is already a ready-made Babylonian bride.
It was still dawn, and the sound of musical instruments was already ringing in the palace. The melodious sound of the piano, mixed with the sound of metal percussion, Lin Luoran was invited by Edith to attend the wedding as a palace makeup artist.
Lin Luoran followed Bu Luan carefully, and was relieved that she did not find the woman surnamed Ji. Edith is solemn and beautiful, and she will officially become the princess of Babylon soon. On such a formal occasion, she must throw away some of the playfulness of a little girl.
Before leaving the palace, another team of Buluan approached. Lin Luoran saw the sweetness on Edith's face, and knew that the person sitting on it was Nebuchadnezzar II—this bearded face, also It can't hide the fact that he is a circle older than Edith, Lin Luoran has to be a little bit more responsible like those female slaves who are traveling with her, she didn't stare at the King of Babylon, and her eyes fell on the side of his step.
These people holding the bull's harp are court musicians, right? And things like gongs, tambourines, and musical instruments she didn't recognize.
After seeing Edith clearly, Nebuchadnezzar was taken aback for a moment. The painting on the face of his new princess did not conform to the Babylonian tradition at all... However, after a second look, it seemed even more beautiful than when Edith came.
Lin Luoran didn't know at this time that her position as a temporary court make-up artist had actually been quietly restored to being recognized by Nebuchadnezzar.
After the two teams met, the bride and groom did not talk, and the team walked along the high wall to the "Ester Gate". Outside the wall were the cheers of the people of Babylon.
The Marduk Temple, which is very important to Babylon, is in front of it. The section of the road from "Esther Gate" to Marduk is a parade place for religious activities during grand ceremonies, the famous "Ceremonial Avenue".
According to Edith, she and Nebuchadnezzar will receive the blessing of the high priest at the Marduk Temple, and then they will revel with the people of the whole city of Babylon.
High Priest, the nun surnamed Ji didn't come back after going out last night, Lin Luoran was inexplicably uneasy.
