Du Xiaoli went up and helped Han Mingxiang remove the phoenix headdress from her head. As soon as the headdress was removed, Han Mingxiang instantly felt much more relaxed.
“"Having to wear such a heavy thing on your head, it"s a wonder it hasn’t broken your neck." Du Xiaoli took the phoenix headdress in her hand and felt it was shockingly heavy; she didn"t know how Han Mingxiang had worn this the entire day!
"This thing only has to be worn for the first day. Then, after arriving in Northern Yuan, she only has to wear it one more time on the day of the wedding," one of the nannies explained.
“Then she doesn’t have to wear it in between those times?”
“No, the wedding garments also don’t need to be worn, it’s enough to just wear red clothing,” the nanny replied.
“Whew, that’s good!” Du Xiaoli let out a long exhale of relief.
“However in front of others, this veil should still be worn,” the nanny added.
“Wearing just the veil is okay! This wedding dress is both heavy and c.u.mbersome, and this phoenix headdress is also so heavy.” Du Xiaoli grew uncomfortable inside at the thought that one day, she would also have to go through this.
Han Mingxiang removed her makeup and washed her face, wiping the water off with a towel handed to her by her maid. “You’ll have to wear the wedding dress and phoenix headdress in the future too, just not for as long as me.”
“Princess, Mistress, it’s time to eat.” Ying Ge placed down the water basin and left, but returned quickly carrying three dishes.
“So soon?” Han Mingxiang felt it had only been a short amount of time, and the meal was already ready.
“It took a long time for you to change your clothes, remove your makeup, and all that. Furthermore, Xia Yuan and Ying Ge are very fast at cooking. Come, let’s eat,” Du Xiaoli said, as she sat down in front of the table.
“Okay.” Han Mingxiang originally hadn’t had much of an appet.i.te, but seeing Xia Yuan’s cooking and smelling the dishes’ aroma, she instantly became hungry. “Nanny Jin, you can take the others down to eat, we don’t need them to wait on us for now.”
“Understood.” The nanny who said this made a gesture to the other maids to leave.
“Us servants will exit now.” The house maids curtsied, and left the room.
“You should also go and eat,” Du Xiaoli said to Ying Ge.
“Yes, Mistress.”
Ying Ge also exited, leaving only Du Xiaoli and Han Mingxiang in the room. Du Xiaoli placed some of the dishes into Han Mingxiang’s bowl, nudging her, “Try Xia Yuan’s cooking.”
Han Mingxiang picked up the food and tasted it, nodding her head in approval. “Xia Yuan’s craftsmans.h.i.+p is quite good. But it’s still not as good as yours.”
“Even when you compliment others you don’t forget to flatter me.”
“Yes, haha…”
“...”
Given that they had been sitting in a carriage the whole day, and they couldn’t go out as they wished, Han Mingxiang rested in her room, reading a book. Du Xiaoli, at this time, retired to her own room.
The room had already been tidied by Xia Yuan and Ying Ge. Du Xiaoli collapsed on the bed the minute she returned.
It turned out that sending someone off to be married was also very hard; at the very least the long carriage ride had been quite difficult to endure.
After some time, Han Mingyi came to her room. Looking at the person lying on the bed, he said with a smile, “Do you want to go out for a walk?”
Du Xiaoli sat up, looking at Han Mingyi, “Can I?”
“It’s not as if you’re the bride, of course you can. Let’s go.”
Han Mingyi nodded his head, and Du Xiaoli immediately jumped up, saying, “Let’s go!”
Seeing the excitement in Du Xiaoli’s eyes, Han Mingyi smiled and pushed the door open, leaving.
“You two keep watch in the room. Make sure to pay attention to whether anything happens to the Princess.” Du Xiaoli reminded Xia Yuan and Ying Ge before also leaving.
“Yes, Mistress. These servants will, just relax and go on your date,” Ying Ge said playfully.
Xia Yuan took a cloak and placed it on Du Xiaoli, saying, “It’s windy outside. Mistress, try not to stay out too late.”
Du Xiaoli tied the strap of her cloak, saying, “I’ll come back earlier.”
As she made her way outside, Han Mingyi was waiting for her in the corridor. Taking two steps forward to stand by his side, she said, “Let’s go.”
“Mm.” Han Mingyi, seeing Du Xiaoli, held her hand and was about to head downstairs. However, frowning at the thought of so many soldiers downstairs, he said, “Hold on tight.” Holding Du Xiaoli, he flew out of the window, and landed on the street outside.
Not expecting Han Mingyi to directly fly out like this, Du Xiaoli’s hand naturally wrapped around his waist, and her head was buried in his chest. When they flew through the backyard, she saw Ji Liufeng, who was checking the stables in the backyard.MoonWhisperer, skyrise"s Thoughts
