"You go with her," Hu Daban gestured to Xiaolian.
Reluctantly, Xiaolian grabbed her makeup kit and followed to the side room.
The maid brought water, and Yingbao washed her hands and face then had Xiaolian apply her makeup.
In the end, Yingbao adjusted the makeup around her eyes and mouth, making it look intensely gaudy. Even she herself could hardly recognize her own reflection.
She put on a red narrow-sleeve top with green silk lantern pants, throwing a yellow silk scarf over her shoulders, and returned to the banquet hall with the maid.
This time, the maid led her directly to Xiao Mo and sat her down at his feet.
Xiao Mo didn't give her a single glance, he was talking to the leader of the canal gang about canal transportation, asking him for help in transporting supplies southwards.
