In recent days, the most exciting news in the capital, besides the news of the destruction of Xiliang, has been the marriage of Princess Ning'an and Lord Lu, the Right Vice Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate.
The moment the news of the marriage spread, the threshold of the princess's mansion was practically worn down by the crowds.
They were all people who came to inquire about when Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian would get married, and some were acquaintances of Jiang Yimian. Every day, many carriages were parked in front of the Princess's mansion, making it quite lively.
This lively scene continued until June 21st, when it reached its peak.
After nearly a month of waiting, the day finally arrived for Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian to get married.
When Jiang Yimian was pulled to sit in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the busy figures of the nannies and maids behind her, and the festive decorations that could be seen everywhere in the room, she finally had a real feeling that she was about to get married.
These past few days, whether she heard people around her talking about getting married or saw all sorts of busy figures and festive decorations in the mansion, she didn't really feel anything.
Every day, she continued doing what she was supposed to do, occasionally visiting Baoxiangfang or chatting with Chen Feiyan about her experiences over the past few months. Life was peaceful, and there was no difference between her life in Beijing and her previous life.
Only now, looking at herself in the mirror, dressed in a red undergarment, with several people busily working on her face and head, does she vaguely realize that she is really getting married.
That calm heart suddenly felt a little tense.
The old woman who was cutting Jiang Yimian's noodles saw the person in the mirror staring blankly and quickly said, "Did I use too much force? Princess, please bear with it. This step of cutting the noodles cannot be skipped."
Several maids nearby quickly chimed in, "Yes, Princess, it will be done soon. After the facial opening, you will look even more beautiful with makeup on. Don't be afraid of the pain."
Jiang Yimian just smiled and didn't say anything.
This little bit of pain was nothing to her.
After a flurry of activity, the maids and nannies finally stopped.
The person in the bronze mirror also changed. The person, who was already quite good-looking, became even more radiant after being dressed up by the maids.
The person in the bronze mirror had red lips, white teeth, and fair skin; even before wearing the phoenix crown, she was already stunning.
In particular, Jiang Yimian possessed a unique ethereal quality in her eyes and brows, a quality rarely found among the noble ladies of the capital, making her appear as radiant as spring blossoms.
Even the nanny standing nearby couldn't help but praise, "The princess is truly beautiful; she's probably the most beautiful person in the capital today."
Having come from the palace, she had naturally seen many beauties, but she still couldn't help but marvel at Jiang Yimian today.
When she first heard that Princess Ning'an was quite beautiful, she didn't feel anything special. After all, the capital city was not lacking in beauties.
However, after hearing about Princess Ning'an's deeds, he couldn't help but look at her with new respect.
At that time, she felt that this was a female hero who was no less than any man. Compared to her appearance, she felt that this woman was even more amazing.
But upon seeing her today, she realized that Princess Ning'an's appearance was also exceptionally beautiful, and coupled with her deeds, no one in the entire capital, or rather, the entire Great Jin Dynasty, could find a woman more remarkable than Princess Ning'an.
The maid standing nearby smiled and chimed in, "Yes, yes, the princess is already beautiful, and now with makeup on, she's absolutely captivating."
"You'll look even more beautiful wearing the phoenix crown and wedding dress later."
As they were talking, the tightly closed door was opened from the outside.
Wang Fengqin led the way, while Liu'er followed behind, carrying a box in her hands. She smiled and said, "Miss, I've brought the wedding dress."
Although Jiang Yimian had tried on the wedding dress long ago, the embroiderer said there were still some things that needed to be improved, but it was only delivered yesterday.
As soon as she put the box down, Liu'er couldn't help but exclaim in amazement upon seeing Jiang Yimian's current appearance.
Jiang Yimian was already beautiful and radiant, but now, with makeup on, although she has lost some of that beauty, she has become even more radiant, her whole being dazzling and captivating, making it hard to look away.
Liu'er happily stepped forward and said with a smile, "Miss is so beautiful. I'll help you put on the phoenix crown right now, so as not to miss the auspicious time."
As he spoke, he quickly began to help.
Wang Fengqin, who was standing to the side, was smiling at first, but as she watched, she couldn't help but tear up.
The thought that after today, Yi Mian would really be married and become someone else's family filled her with emptiness and mixed feelings.
Mingming was very happy these days preparing for her wedding, even more excited than Yimian herself.
She had watched Yi Mian and Ci Jian grow up together, so she was well aware of the bond between them and knew that Ci Jian was a good person.
Knowing that Yi Mian would have someone who would treat her wholeheartedly in the future, she was truly happy for Yi Mian.
But now, she felt a little reluctant to part with it.
Her daughter is really getting married.
Jiang Yimian noticed Wang Fengqin's silence, immediately stood up from in front of the bronze mirror, reached out and hugged her, and said with a smile, "Mother, I'm just getting married, it's not that I'm not coming back."
Besides, the Lu residence is only two streets away, very close. Mother, if you miss me, you can come to see me anytime. I'll come back often too; please don't find me a nuisance then.”
To be honest, she was also a little reluctant to part with him.
Wang Fengqin is truly a wonderful mother. Even after discovering the changes in her daughter, she never mentioned it and continued to treat her as her own daughter with all her heart.
If she didn't realize it at first, after confirming it, Wang Fengqin didn't change her attitude towards her at all, and didn't even show any doubt. She continued to care for and protect her.
If it weren't for what happened in Xiliang, she might never have known.
Hearing this, Wang Fengqin finally smiled, reached out and patted her daughter's head before saying, "How could your mother find you annoying? I'm just happy that my daughter has really grown up and is about to get married."
Every mother's greatest expectation is for her child to grow up and get married, but it's also what she's most reluctant to let go of.
She simply wiped her moist eyes with a handkerchief before smiling and saying, "Alright, stop being so coquettish. You're married now."
Today is your big day, don't miss the auspicious time.
As she spoke, she pulled Jiang Yimian back to sit down in front of the bronze mirror.
Liu'er and several maids then put a phoenix crown on Jiang Yimian's head, along with earrings and some pearl hairpins.
Instantly, the person in the bronze mirror became even more beautiful.
Liu'er was increasingly satisfied with the look, and after opening the box, she took out the exquisite wedding dress and dressed Jiang Yimian in it.
The bright red wedding dress was exquisitely embroidered, with butterflies chasing each other in gold thread on the cuffs, looking lifelike from afar.
In particular, the stitching of the wedding dress was extremely delicate, almost invisible, and with the gold thread covering it, the whole wedding dress could be described as perfect.
The surrounding maids were stunned, not only by Jiang Yimian's appearance, but also by her wedding dress.
The embroidery on this wedding dress is truly exquisite; even they could tell it was no ordinary dress.
