Chapter 1154 A new look
Her words were as powerful as thunder, exploding among the crowd.
Some people among the people began to hesitate and slowly put down the sticks in their hands.
Jiang Xue calmed the people's emotions somewhat, so he struck while the iron was hot and explained the whole story to the people in a concise and clear manner.
Everyone suddenly realized that they had been blinded and had become pawns in the hands of others.
Xiao Zhan took the opportunity to order the arrest of the mastermind behind the riot.
The riot soon subsided and the people dispersed.
After this battle, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan's reputations became even higher.
The people were grateful for their kindness and praised them as "a match made in heaven."
Back at the palace, preparations for the wedding have already begun in full swing.
The palace was decorated with lights and full of joy, but there was a hint of tension in the atmosphere.
The wedding host was a stern old scholar who attached great importance to traditional etiquette.
He held a thick etiquette book and explained the wedding procedures and precautions to Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan in detail.
"Your Highness, you must wear the phoenix crown and bridal robe on your wedding day and perform the ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtow nine times."
"Master Prime Minister, you need to personally greet the bride at an auspicious time and step over the fire basin."
Listening to the host's endless talk, Jiang Xue felt dizzy.
Although she had some knowledge of ancient weddings, she still found such a complicated process a bit overwhelming.
Xiao Zhan was very patient. He wrote down the host's requests one by one and carefully comforted Jiang Xue: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
However, bigger challenges lie ahead.
The old ancestor of the princess's mansion always had doubts about Jiang Xue's identity and was unwilling to easily approve of this marriage.
"Xiaoxue, it's not that I'm taking advantage of my age, but the position of princess is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. Your identity..." The old ancestor hesitated.
Jiang Xue patiently explained her life experience and expressed her true feelings for Xiao Zhan.
However, the old ancestor remained unmoved and simply said, "I hope so."
In addition to these, some unexpected situations occurred during the wedding preparation process.
For example, the wedding candles originally ordered were not delivered in time due to transportation problems, causing the palace to be completely dark;
The workers responsible for decorating the wedding scene accidentally broke important decorations, making the whole scene look a little messy.
Jiang Xue was so busy that she was exhausted, like a top spinning non-stop.
She had to deal with the rigid wedding host, appease the suspicious ancestors, and deal with various emergencies.
The tremendous pressure made her feel exhausted both physically and mentally.
It was late at night and Jiang Xue was sitting alone by the window, looking at the bright moon outside, her heart full of confusion.
"Is all this really worth it?" she murmured to herself.
Suddenly, a big warm hand gently rested on her shoulder.
"I know you're tired."
Xiao Zhan's voice was gentle but firm: "But we can definitely overcome all difficulties and hold a perfect wedding."
Jiang Xue raised her head and looked into Xiao Zhan's deep eyes, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.
“Yun Che!”
"Shh!" Xiao Zhan put his finger on her lips: "Don't say anything, I know what you mean."
He gently held her in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Trust me, everything will be fine."
However, at this moment, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.
The red candles were shining brightly, filling the entire princess's mansion with a festive atmosphere.
Jiang Xue rubbed her sore solar plexus and felt like a top that had been spinning non-stop for three days and three nights.
Preparing for this wedding is more tiring than fighting a war!
That stereotypical wedding host is simply a walking "Book of Rites".
"Your Highness, the tassels on this red veil must be ninety-nine and eighty-one, not one more or one less!"
"Your Highness, the steps for this wedding ceremony must be to stop every seven steps and bow every eight steps. You can't make a single mistake!"
Jiang Xue's ears were almost callused from hearing this, and she really wanted to yell, "Just tie me up in the bridal sedan!"
But she held back.
She knew that a wedding was a major event in life and could not be taken lightly.
What's more, this is her wedding with Xiao Zhan, and she wants to give him a perfect wedding.
So, she patiently practiced the complicated etiquette over and over again according to the master of ceremonies' requirements.
She learned how to walk gracefully, how to salute elegantly, how to smile gently... She felt like an excellent graduate of a crash course in ancient etiquette.
In addition to the master of ceremonies, there is also the old ancestor of the princess's mansion, who is also a difficult guy.
Although he no longer openly opposed the marriage, his words still revealed some suspicion and dissatisfaction.
"Xiaoxue, the affairs of the backyard are no joke. You are still young, so you must learn the ways of housekeeping well."
"Xiaoxue, the position of princess is a heavy responsibility, you must be able to bear it."
Jiang Xue knew in her heart that the ancestor was warning her not to forget her identity.
She was not annoyed, but worked harder to learn how to be a housekeeper and handle the affairs of the mansion.
She proved with her actions that she was not only an intelligent woman, but also a responsible princess.
Her efforts were not in vain.
The host began to look at her with admiration and stopped being critical of her.
"Your Highness is truly extremely intelligent. She understands things instantly."
The old ancestor gradually let down his guard towards her and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Xiaoxue, you did a great job. I am very pleased."
Even the maids and servants who were originally hostile to her began to admire her.
"Your Highness the Princess is such a good master, she is very kind to us."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is such a powerful character. Even our ancestors were conquered by her."
The atmosphere in the mansion was getting better and better, and everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles.
Jiang Xue looked at all this and felt a sense of accomplishment.
She is like a conductor, arranging everything in order.
Wedding candles, wedding candies, wedding cakes... everything is ready.
Even the decorations that were accidentally damaged by the workers were skillfully repaired by her and became even more exquisite.
The palace was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and it was filled with joy.
The red silk and lanterns complement each other, making the entire palace look like a fairyland.
The air is filled with the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, refreshing.
Jiang Xue stood by the window, looking at the busy servants with a smile on her face.
She could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Everything is ready," she said softly.
"Yes, everything is ready." Xiao Zhan's voice came from behind.
He walked to her and gently held her in his arms: "Xiaoxue, thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for everything you have done for me."
He bent down and kissed her forehead: "Thank you for giving me such a perfect wedding."
Jiang Xue leaned in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, her heart filled with happiness.
