Everyone drank their tea and chatted a bit when a maid entered the room and announced that Lu shi has come to see the Empress.
Zhao Ming looked at the maid and said, " Send her in."
When Lu shi came into the study while carrying a tray covered with a silky red-colored fabric. Everyone looked at the item that Lu shi was carrying.
Xiao Li was also confused to see the item that Lu shi has brought with her. They had seen the items that Zhao Ming has made to gift the Empress Dowager which later distributed among the other consorts.
However, at that time, she had refused to take the colored sticks which she regarded as Lipsticks. But later, she heard the praises of the colored stick from other consorts and felt bad for letting go of such an unusual item which could maintain the color on lips for a longer period.
