Chapter 841: Wedding (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She was going to be a bride!
Shen Yijia suppressed the urge to immediately see Song Jingchen and pounce on him. She sat obediently in the bathtub. The dense mist made her face blush, and her eyes sparkled.
It was as if every pore was emitting joy.
Compared to her happiness, Ji Luo couldn’t help but cry.
When she first met Shen Yijia, she had accepted the fact that she was already married.
However, at the thought of sending her off to get married, she still felt reluctant to marry off her daughter.
After taking a shower, MO Yuan brought a handkerchief to dry Shen Yijia’s hair. Ji Luo brought over a palm-sized porcelain box and took out a small amount of transparent paste. She rubbed it open in his palm and smeared it on her hand and neck.
The cream had a faint fragrance. It smelled good.
Shen Yijia sniffed and grinned foolishly. She could already imagine Song Jingchen drowning in this fragrance.
Oh, it was too embarra.s.sing.
Seeing that the blush on her face had disappeared, Ji Luo asked with concern, “Is it hot?”
Shen Yijia quickly dispelled those inappropriate images from her mind. Her eyes drifted as she said, “It’s not hot.”
Ji Luo saw the change in her expression and guessed something. She looked a little uncomfortable.
Her daughter…
Forget it. She wasn’t any better back then.
After drying her hair, MO Yuan brought over a red wedding dress and helped Shen Yijia put it on.
The wedding dress was complicated, with layer after layer of fabric. Shen Yijia’s joy when she saw the wedding dress was almost gone.
“Do I need to wear so many layers?” she asked.
Although it looked good, it would be troublesome to take it off later.
She remembered that the clothes she wore when she first transmigrated were not so complicated!
How could Shen Yijia know that because there was too little time, this wedding dress was made by the Internal Affairs Department after working overtime under Xuanyuan Ce’s orders?
After Xuanyuan Qi found out, he waved his sleeve and asked them to prepare according to the princess’s standards. It was naturally more complicated than ordinary wedding dresses.
Ji Luo only thought that she felt that it was too hot and did not care too much about rules. She could not bear to see Shen Yijia suffer, so she agreed without thinking.
MO Yuan helped her lose two pounds.
Shen Yijia’s usual clothes were mostly light-colored. When she suddenly wore such bright colors, her eyes lit up. Ji Luo and MO Yuan were stunned for a moment.
The corners of Shen Yijia’s mouth could not help but curl up. A smile could not help but appear on her face.
“Very good, I’ll charm my husband to death later!” she thought.
It would have been fine if she hadn’t smiled, but her smile was even more seductive.
Ji Luo teased, “My daughter is so good-looking. Ah Chen is lucky.”
Shen Yijia said seriously, “My husband is also very good-looking.” Ji Luo was amused by her protectiveness. “Alright, alright. I was wrong. The two of you are a match made in heaven.”
When she came out of the inner room, a familiar-looking woman was waiting there.
Her husband’s surname was Fang, and everyone called her Madam Fang.
She was part of the ceremony, whom Ji Luo had asked MO Yuan to invite from the commoners. Xuanyuan Ce originally wanted to invite one of the concubines from Phoenix City, but Ji Luo refused.
Madam Fang had given away so many brides, but this was the first time she had styled the hair of a girl from the royal family.
It was impossible for her not to be nervous. When she came, she repeatedly reminded herself to say less, watch less, and do more.
However, when she saw Shen Yijia, she could not take her eyes off her.
“Oh my G.o.d, this girl is too beautiful. I would even believe that a fairy had descended to the mortal world!” she thought.
“Madam. Fang.”
Ji Luo’s voice brought her back to her senses. Madam Fang hurriedly apologized, “I thought that I had seen a fairy and was in a daze. Please don’t blame me for my rudeness.”
Shen Yijia waved her hand indifferently. “No, no.” You can continue.
Madam Fang was stunned. She thought to herself, “Shouldn’t other girls be shy when they hear this? This lady is really different.”
However, with this interruption, the nervousness in her heart dissipated a little.
Ji Luo suppressed the reluctance in her heart and smiled. “Thank you, Madam Fang.”
“It’s my blessing to be able to style Miss’s hair.”
Ji Luo pulled Shen Yijia to sit down in front of the dressing table.
Madam Fang walked forward and said with a smile, “I’ll thread it for you first. It might hurt a little. Miss, bear with it.”
Shen Yijia was still thinking about what she meant when she saw the lady take out a long thin cotton thread from the makeup basket she had brought. She wrapped the thin cotton thread in her right hand twice and bit the other end with her front teeth. She twisted it repeatedly in the middle of the web between the thumb and forefinger of her left hand and pressed the opening of the yarn against her face. The thread opened and closed, falling together. Shen Yijia shivered in pain. She held back from punching Madam Fang.
Why did she pluck her hair?
Madam Fang was twisting it very seriously. She did not notice that Shen Yijia was already clenching her fists, nor did she know that her head had almost exploded.
Fortunately, she was already very familiar with this kind of work. It didn’t take long for her to finish.
Shen Yijia’s skin was delicate and fair to begin with. After opening her face, she looked even more dazzling. Coupled with the physical tears that gathered in her eyes because of the pain, it made one’s heart melt.
Mrs. Fang said a few auspicious words at the right time. She picked up the comb on the dressing table and raised her hand to comb her hair.
“The first stroke to comb it all the way to the end.”
“The second stroke for longevity.” “The third stroke for many descendants.”
“The fourth stroke…”
When Mrs. Fang combed Shen Yijia’s hair, Ji Luo’s eyes were filled with tears again. Afraid that Shen Yijia would see it, she turned her body slightly and did not dare to look.
After combing her hair, Mrs. Fang helped Shen Yijia tie her hair into a woman’s bun. She turned around and picked up the phoenix crown from the tray in MO Yuan’s hand for her to wear.
Just as she finished doing this, it suddenly became lively outside.
MO Yuan opened the door and left. Soon, she entered and said, “Eunuch Wu is here.”
Shen Yijia looked at Ji Luo. She clearly did not know what was going on.
However, since he was here, she had to go out and take a look.
Eunuch Wu came with the imperial edict to confer Shen Yijia the t.i.tle of princess. Her t.i.tle was Yong’an. He came with a courtyard full of rewards.
When Xuanyuan Ce received the news and rushed over with Chu Feng’s help, Shen Yijia had just received the imperial edict.
He heaved a sigh of relief and quickly explained, “Jiajia, I originally wanted to ask for your opinion, but I’ve been so busy these past few days that I forgot. I didn’t expect my brother to be so impatient to get someone to announce the decree. ”
Although he was telling the truth, it was more or less a little suspicious that he was pretending to be obedient after taking advantage of her. However, he had no choice. He didn’t want his daughter to take revenge.
Perhaps because she was in a good mood today, Shen Yijia did not retort. Instead, she felt that his careful appearance was a little pitiful.
She snorted. The imperial edict had already been issued. What else could she do? Anyway, she couldn’t stay in the Xuanyuan Kingdom for long. When she returned to Great Xia, it didn’t matter to her whether she was a princess or not.
Not long after Eunuch Wu left, Eunuch Yu came with the empress dowager to give her some gifts.
Then, there were the families of the ministers who were secretly watching from the various residences.
The gifts should have been given two days before the wedding, and the dowry should have been sent the day before. However, the preparations for this wedding banquet only took two days.
There wasn’t enough time, so they could only keep everything simple.
They did not have many relatives and friends here, so it was not a problem for them to have a meal as a family. Now that Xuanyuan Qi and the empress dowager were involved, it was really difficult to make it simple.
Fortunately, everyone was tactful. They put down their gifts, praised the bride, and hurriedly bade farewell.
“Mother, where’s my husband?” Shen Yijia looked at the madams and young ladies entering and leaving and whispered to Ji Luo
Ji Luo was about to explain that Song Jingchen had bought another house on West Radiance Street as a wedding room when the sound of gongs and drums came from outside.
“It must be my husband!” Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. She stood up and was about to walk out.
“Jiajia, the fan.” Ji Luo quickly handed her the fan.
The wedding in the Xuanyuan Kingdom was not like the brides of Great Xia who wore red veils. On this side, they used a fan to cover their faces, but they also used a fan. Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also prepared a fan.
Xuanyuan Ziming had arrived at some point and was standing at the door with Xuanyuan Ce. When they heard the door open, the two of them turned around at the same time.
“Sister Jiajia, I…”
“Jiajia, I’ll send you off to get married,” Xuanyuan Ce interrupted.
Xuanyuan Ziming was stunned. He had only heard of brothers carrying their sisters to get married. How could a father carry them?
He was her cousin. He should be the one carrying her!
Shen Yijia looked at Ji Luo. Seeing the latter smile and nod, she muttered, “Don’t drop me.”
Xuanyuan Ce relaxed and smiled. He could not see, but his eyes seemed to instantly light up.
Xuanyuan Ziming was speechless.
Forget it. There were many irregularities in this wedding banquet. First of all, she had never heard of a wedding banquet held after three years of marriage.
Then, there was the dowry on the day of the wedding.
Now that she had her biological father to send her off, it didn’t seem to be a problem.
However, he also wanted to carry her!
Outside the door, a handsome young man in fresh clothes attracted the attention of many madams and young ladies who had yet to leave after giving their gifts.
The women who originally thought that Shen Yijia was lucky were even more envious and jealous.
Song Jingchen didn’t even look at them and dismounted.
According to the rules, the bride’s family would arrange for someone to block the door when they picked up the bride, but Song Jingchen didn’t even consider the wedding gifts, so he naturally omitted this.
Therefore, when he saw three Demon Guards in silver masks guarding the door, his eyelids twitched.
How could he have forgotten about Xuanyuan Ce?!
