Chapter 162 I Will Not Regret
Jiang Fei didn't have many friends in this world, and now she was just maintaining superficial peace with her family. After much thought, she could only invite Princess Anping to try on the wedding dresses.
The lacquer trays were spread out in a row, making Jiang Fei's room look cramped.
Although Yao was stingy with her, the wedding dress was a matter of face after all, so it couldn't be too simple. This wedding dress was of excellent quality from the materials to the embroidery, which showed that the Jiang family attached great importance to this daughter.
Jiang Fei stood in front of the bronze mirror and let them fiddle with it.
Only the collar and belt of the wedding dress were bright red, while other parts were not bright red. Their color was lighter than bright red and darker than crimson.
Princess Anping waited for her to dress, dismissed the maid, and went forward to help her straighten the collar of her clothes. "This purple color doesn't suit you. You need bright red or crimson."
To be honest, Jiang Fei didn't understand these things. Anyway, she saw that everyone got married in bright red wedding dresses on TV dramas.
"Can't I wear red?"
Princess Anping smiled and said, "Red is noble, that is a color only the royal family can wear. Officials' daughters can only wear red as a supplement as appropriate. If Wei Mingzhen is to become the crown prince, you can also wear red wedding dresses."
Princess Anping paused, then added, "If you marry Prince Zhaoning, then any color you wear will be fine."
So that's how it is. This ritual is too complicated.
Jiang Fei opened her arms and showed them to her, "It's okay, right? As long as it fits, it doesn't matter whether it looks good or not."
Princess Anping had never seen her like this.
Which woman would not be picky about her wedding dress? But she acted indifferent. But if she didn't care, why did she have to marry Wei Mingzhen?
"Are you really going to marry Wei Mingzhen?"
Jiang Fei said: "I will definitely marry him. This is a marriage that was decided a long time ago."
"But I don't think you are that kind of person." Princess Anping said softly.
"What kind of person?" Jiang Fei turned around.
Princess Anping thought for a moment and said, "Your ideas are always different from others. You are not the kind of person who is bound by etiquette. Otherwise, you would not have allowed me and Zhang Zheng to divorce."
Jiang Fei was speechless.
She is not bound by etiquette, but she is bound by her mission.
"What about Prince Zhaoning?"
Jiang Fei paused while adjusting her belt, without looking up, "He..."
Princess Anping waited for a long time but received no further information. She looked at her worriedly, "I don't want you to follow my path. It will be too late to regret it after you get married. Are you really determined to marry Wei Mingzhen?"
"I've thought it through." Jiang Fei said affirmatively, "I won't regret it."
"But why are you frowning?"
Jiang Fei raised her hand and touched it, only to find that her brows were unconsciously furrowed.
"A Fei, you can't even lie." Princess Anping pulled her to sit down, picked up a comb and gently combed Jiang Fei's long hair. "Do you know? You are now like a prisoner about to die, not a bride to be married."
Jiang Fei looked at herself in the mirror and it didn't seem as exaggerated as Princess Anping said, but she felt like something was blocking her heart.
She clearly understood that it was not because she was going to marry Wei Mingzhen, but because she was going to hurt that man again.
That person had just pieced his broken self together bit by bit, and she was going to cruelly smash him to pieces again. Besides feeling guilty, she seemed to also feel a little heartbroken.
It seems that people who are too soft-hearted are not suitable for tasks.
"What about the princess?" Jiang Fei changed the subject. "Have you made up your mind?"
Princess Anping nodded, "I understand now, especially after seeing you."
"Find someone who shares your feelings and treats you well." Princess Anping's fingers passed through Jiang Fei's hair gently. "A Fei, I hope you can do the same."
Jiang Fei smiled back at her from the mirror, "When I marry Wei Mingzhen, everything will be fine."
The door was suddenly pushed open and Pei Jing walked straight in.
His eyes swept across Princess Anping and lingered on Jiang Fei for a long time.
Jiang Fei suddenly turned around and supported herself on the dressing table with her hands.
All the pores on his body opened the moment Pei Jing pushed the door open, and sweat broke out on his palms and back instantly, as if the fuse of a bomb had been lit in front of him.
Could he have heard what I just said?
Pei Jing approached her step by step with a sullen face, and waved to Princess Anping, signaling her to go out.
Princess Anping glanced at Jiang Fei without moving, "A Fei, you..."
"Princess, please go out first." Jiang Fei forced herself to remain calm, "I'm fine."
Princess Anping hesitated for a moment, finally sighed, closed the door gently and left.
Suddenly, they were the only two people left in the room.
Pei Jing's gaze was as sharp as a torch, sweeping over her wedding dress inch by inch, and finally stopped at Jiang Fei's slightly pale face.
Jiang Fei's heartbeat was almost bursting out of her chest. She subconsciously clenched the edge of the dressing table behind her, her knuckles turning white.
She had been quite loud just now, and with Pei Jing's hearing, there was no way he hadn't heard what she said. What would he do? Strangle her to death or go crazy?
Jiang Fei's breathing almost stopped. She watched Pei Jing approaching step by step, and felt that her inner clothes were stuck to her back.
"I knew this color didn't suit you."
"Ah?" Jiang Fei was stunned.
Pei Jing stopped where he was, looked her up and down, and nodded again affirmatively, "Indeed, it doesn't suit her."
"You, you heard everything?"
Pei Jing looked innocent: "What did you hear?"
"That's it..." Jiang Fei bit her lip, "What I just said to the princess."
"I didn't hear clearly."
Jiang Fei's eyes widened: "You have such good hearing, how could you not hear it?"
Pei Jing picked up the jewelry from the lacquer tray, looked at it, and put it back. "That little fat boy who came with your dowry was so noisy. He pestered me to be part of the dowry. I finally got rid of him at the door."
Jiang Fei stared at Pei Jing's profile for a while, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he really didn't hear it.
Who knew that just as she was about to look away, she was caught by Pei Jing's gaze.
"What did you say?" Pei Jing took a step forward. "Are you afraid that I'll hear you?"
Jiang Fei subconsciously stepped back, her waist resting on the edge of the dressing table, and she had nowhere to retreat.
Pei Jing sneered, suddenly grabbed her belt and pulled it, their bodies pressed against each other, their noses almost touching.
Then a handsome face appeared before her eyes. Jiang Fei blinked and swallowed nervously, "Pei Jing..."
"Um?"
"If," Jiang Fei asked, "if one day you discover the truth, will you kill me?"
Pei Jing frowned, "What truth could make me kill you?"
He thought for a moment and said, "Are you a man? If you were a man, I would kill you and let you reincarnate as a woman. In sixteen years, I will marry you."
Jiang Fei: “…”
Forget it, there's no way to have a normal conversation with this guy because he's not a normal person at all.
"Get out of the way." Jiang Fei raised her hand and hit him on the chest.
This blow made Pei Jing's heart numb, and he moved aside too obediently, then sat on the chair and watched her holding the earrings and trying to put them on his ears.
Pei Jing felt itchy in his hands and heart as he watched, so he half-clenched his fist and rubbed his thumb on the back of his index finger.
After enduring for a long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to pull the person in front of him towards him.
