On the other hand, following the usual practice, Tong Xuewen was directly appointed as a sixth-rank compiler in the Hanlin Academy.
Because of his family background, Tong Xuewen had been around Alhatu for a long time and was influenced by him, so he adapted well to his new identity.
Of course, although the Hanlin Academy is a prestigious place, it is still a government office with many people, so there are bound to be some troublesome matters related to interpersonal relationships, but these are within his ability to handle.
While Tong Xuewen was busy with his career, his mother, Shumulu, began preparing for his wedding.
Having handled her eldest son's wedding before, Shumulu had some experience and proceeded in an orderly manner. With Fucha also helping out, the process was quite fast.
Before he knew it, it was May. Everything was ready, and the auspicious day had been set. Only then did Tong Xuewen ask for leave from the Hanlin Academy.
Believe it or not, civil servants in ancient times had pretty good benefits, including marriage leave, even though it was only three days.
On Tong Xuewen's wedding day, Tong Cheng'er woke up on her own without needing anyone to wake her.
Rulan came in to wake Tong Cheng'er, only to find that the princess, who usually lingered in bed and could not be woken up, was already up, and she couldn't hide her surprise.
So he casually remarked, "Why did you get up so early today, Princess?"
Tong Cheng'er said, "It's my second brother's wedding today, how could I possibly sleep in? If I'm late, my second brother will probably scold me."
Rulan smiled and brought over a very festive bright red outfit for her to wear.
"Princess, you're overthinking it. Weddings are inherently complicated, and Second Master will be extremely busy. I just wanted to say that you probably won't have the time!"
When her elder brother Tong Xuewu got married, she was still a bit older. At that time, Shumulu was afraid of being bumped into, so she didn't go to crowded places much. She really didn't know how busy the wedding was.
"real?"
"Of course it's true."
Tong Cheng'er thought for a moment, "If weddings are this troublesome, what will I do if I get married in the future?"
Of course, this thought only flashed through my mind for a moment before I put it out of my mind.
We'll deal with the future later; there's no rush now.
Right now, the most important thing is my second brother's wedding.
As she spoke, Rulan quickly helped Tong Cheng'er put on her clothes. After she was dressed, Rulan couldn't help but exclaim, "I suddenly realized that the princess has grown up and is taller. She looks even more beautiful in the qipao."
What Rulan didn't say was that her breasts were especially full, while her waist was so slender that it could be encircled with one hand; she was truly the kind of woman who could be loved.
Tong Cheng'er was happy to hear this, after all, wanting to grow taller didn't conflict with her laid-back personality.
Tong Cheng'er smiled and said, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. But upon closer inspection, it's true."
After getting dressed and washing up, Tong Cheng'er dressed up a bit, which was unusual for her.
However, despite the term "makeup," she didn't actually apply much. Tong Cheng'er probably got enough sleep and was getting adequate nutrition. In addition, Shumulu had someone take care of her skin, so her skin was fair, tender, and moisturized from head to toe.
So it was as simple as drawing a light eyebrow and applying some lip rouge.
After finishing all that, she went to Shumulu's courtyard and ate breakfast alone.
She didn't want to eat alone, but the family was busy today, especially Shumulu, who ate breakfast early and rather hastily.
Although she had many servants in her household, Shumulu seemed to be born a worrier, and she had to personally check everything, otherwise she couldn't rest easy.
Tong Cheng'er ate breakfast before meeting Shumulu.
"Mother, you've been so busy today, I couldn't find you anywhere."
Shumulu looked at her leisurely appearance and couldn't stand it: "It's not that your mother is too busy, it's that you're too idle. You've come at the right time, come and help your mother keep an eye on things."
This time, Tong Cheng'er didn't refuse and helped along with Shumulu.
After finishing his work, Tong Xuewen set off to Guarjia Prefecture to pick up the people, and only then did Shumulu allow Tong Cheng'er to have some free time.
Tong Cheng'er Niu Niu's own neck, she really moved it quite a bit today, of course, compared to her own neck.
Shumulu couldn't help but say, "Alright, no one's been tired, they just stood there for a little longer."
Tong Cheng'er replied, "Isn't it more comfortable to sit or lie down than to stand?"
Shumulus:——
She was speechless, because what he said made perfect sense.
"Everything is pretty much done now, and there's nothing else we need you for. Befriend Shuyu, and when she's welcomed into her new home, go and keep her company."
Tong Cheng'er happily agreed; it wasn't tiring, and she could do it.
Not long after, Tong Xuewen brought the person over.
After the grand wedding ceremony, Shu Yu was taken to the bridal chamber.
Then Tong Cheng'er went inside.
When she entered, only Shu Yu's two personal maids were serving her in the bridal chamber. These two maids recognized her and, upon seeing her, quickly greeted her, saying, "Greetings, Princess."
"Get up, I've come to see my second sister-in-law."
"Thank you for mentioning our princess."
Tong Cheng'er chuckled: "It's time to change how you address her. Now, Second Sister-in-law is our Second Madam."
The maid who had spoken then said with a look of annoyance, "Look at my mouth, I really need to change my words. I hope you won't blame me, Princess."
"What's there to blame?"
Shu Yu heard the sound and was delighted. She then said, "But Cheng'er is here."
Tong Cheng'er replied, "My mother was worried that my second sister-in-law would be bored, so she sent me over to talk to you."
Seeing her mother-in-law's thoughtfulness, Shu Yu felt very comforted, and a smile appeared on her face under the red veil: "Thank you for your trouble, and thank you very much, Mother."
