When Empress Changsun stretched out her hand, the dukes and wives also quickly walked to their husbands and stretched out their hands to look at the group of men who had never seen the world before.

"Oh? Guanyinbi's nails are very beautiful." Li Er said in surprise when he saw the new nail art made by Empress Changsun.

In ancient China, men and women with high status all had long nails, showing that they did not need to work, while men showed their male strength and status.

The noble ladies of the imperial palace in the Qing Dynasty even used luxury metal or cloisonné nail covers with pearls and jade inlaid to protect their carefully decorated nails. Of course, the most representative nail art figure was Empress Dowager Cixi, who ruled behind the curtain during the Qing Dynasty, put decorative metal or cloisonné fake nails on her little finger and ring finger to increase the length of her nails and show her noble status.

But even if you wear nail covers, you don’t look good as if you are a direct manicure.

The manicure selected by Queen Changsun is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but who made Queen Changsun the queen? It is appropriate to choose the highest-end manicure.

Li Er said this, and the ministers agreed. After all, it is really a lot better to make perfect armor.

"Qingquan, what is this thing?" Li Er asked, holding Empress Changsun's hand.

"This is called manicure, also known as nail art design, which is a kind of thing that decorates and beautifies nails. It is similar to makeup, but the makeup is just put on your hands." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

After all, this thing was recommended by Zhang Nan to Cui Yue, so Zhang Nan could not be unclear.

"Oh? Then I can try it too?" Li Er said in surprise. Obviously, this manicure was also deeply rooted in Li Er's wishes.

"Ah! Your Majesty, you want to give it a try, too?" Zhang Nan said that he was deeply shocked. Li Er was so sissy. Unlike him, although Zhang Nan had never seen Li Er kill someone with a knife, when he was just taking a hot spring, Zhang Nan could see that Li Er's tendon flesh was not only high, but it was definitely up to the general's standards.

"What? Is there anything wrong with it?" Li Er was also very surprised, as if he felt that Zhang Nan's reaction was too intense.

In fact, Zhang Nan was ignorant. In ancient times, rubbing rouge and powder was definitely not a woman's patent, and this thing was not boundaries.

"Everyone has a love of beauty." There are many inventions in this world that are all designed to satisfy people's pursuit of their own beauty. For example, the exclusive products of modern women, stockings.

Of course, there are only two possibilities for modern men to wear stockings. The first is pervert and the second is a robber.

But this was not the case in Europe in the Middle Ages. When the material of socks just transitioned from fur to silk, stockings were quite expensive, and only aristocrats were qualified to use them. European male aristocrats regarded wearing stockings as a symbol of their identity.

Even now, we can see one or two of the oil paintings of medieval figures. The standard dress of French aristocrats is: shorts that are long to knees, lace tied at the bottom, and stockings all the way up. At first, stockings were only white, but later, in order to show their characteristics, these male aristocrats wore red, orange or purple stockings.

There are also high heels. High heels were first worn when people rode horses to facilitate stirrups, but a behavior of French Emperor Louis XIV changed this situation.

Louis XIV has always been worried about his height of less than 1.6 meters, thinking that shortness would affect his glorious image as a king, so he ordered people to use cork to make a 5-inch heel under his feet, and high heels entered people's daily life.

Although this is just a foreign example, it does not mean that China does not have it.

During the Tang Dynasty, there was a trend of women wearing men's clothing and men applying makeup.

Let’s not mention this woman. This man applied cosmetics, which was proved by poetry. Our poet Du Fu once wrote, “Oral fat face medicine follows the blessings, and the green pipes and silver poppies fall into the sky.” The so-called oral fat face medicine in this poem is a cosmetic product applied to the lips and face. It has both a beauty effect and can be used to prevent freezing.

Emperors of the Tang Dynasty often gave their ministers a paste on La Day and used a green tooth tube to pack them. This tooth tube is called "green tube".

In addition to being good at using lipstick and facial cream, men in the Tang Dynasty also liked to smoke clothes with incense, especially hairpins. The so-called hairpins are made of seasonal flowers, or gold, silver, silk, etc., and put them in the hair bun, sideburns or crowns as a custom of decoration or etiquette.

These are things that Zhang Nan has never seen before, but this does not mean that there is no one. Zhang Nan never thought that a big man like Cheng Yaojin could wear a hairpin and make a shy look on his face.

Not to mention Cheng Yaojin, even Zhang Nan couldn't accept it even if he looked like a man.

"There is nothing wrong." Zhang Nan thought about it and decided to tell a lie and not to discourage Li Er's interest.

"But yourselves, you think, although you don't have to do physical labor for a day, you must use it when reviewing memorials. You said that if you do a manicure, your attention will not be on your fingernails. Besides, once you do this manicure, don't think about wielding a knife or something, it will definitely affect you." Zhang Nan's lie opened his mouth.

Now Zhang Nan is used to it. He didn't hesitate at all when he told a lie in front of Li Er. This lie is more true than the truth.

"Well, what you said is not unreasonable, so let's forget it. My hand must not only be able to lift a pen and write, but also be able to kill the enemy with a knife." Li Er smiled, which was a matter of giving up the idea of ​​doing manicure.

After all, Li Er is also from the ranks of the army. If Li Er really wants to do a manicure, he will not do anything, but Li Er is still unhappy.

"Okay, Qingquan, I'm a little hungry. You can go and prepare your meal quickly. Today I will have a meal in the "Tian" box." Li Er waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, this "sky" box cannot accommodate so many people." Zhang Nan said embarrassedly. After all, Zhang Nan's box was not made for Li Er, just a little larger than the normal box. If Li Er wanted to entertain so many people in the box, it would still be impossible. After all, there were at least nearly twenty people in the restaurant today, so how could this be a box?

"That's it, then you can arrange it. But I have to taste this meal carefully. I want to see if the meal place is so unique, can the meal inside be worthy of such a unique place?" Li Er said with a smile.
