The old nanny smiled and said, "I wouldn't presume to offer guidance; I'm merely fulfilling my duty as a servant by the princess's side. My surname is Luo, so the princess can simply call me Granny Luo."
Lu Qingyan covered her mouth and laughed, "Granny Luo is too modest. My maids really need your guidance. Even I need Granny Luo's assistance."
And so, the old nanny settled down at Zixi Terrace. Sometimes she would come to talk to Lu Qingyan, telling her things to pay attention to after marriage and how to get along as a couple. Sometimes she would also teach the two maids, Pearl and Agate, about etiquette and manners.
She was very lenient with Lu Qingyan, but she was particularly strict with these girls, wishing they would all become clever under her guidance so she would have less to worry about.
Lu Qingyan felt that the old nanny was indeed a good teacher, but unfortunately, Agate's aptitude seemed to have remained unchanged, while Pearl was becoming more and more clever.
Lu Qingyan rubbed her index finger, considering whether she should replace some of the people around her, but she was powerless to do so at the moment.
Time passed day by day, and finally, someone came with the wedding dress for Lu Qingyan to try on to see if it fit.
The wedding attire of Lu and Jin is quite different, so even though Lu Qingyan brought her own set, Jin still had to prepare a new one for her.
Looking at Lu Qingyan after she changed her clothes, Granny Luo couldn't help but praise her: "The princess is naturally beautiful, and she looks good in anything. Especially in this outfit, she looks like a fairy descended from heaven. It's almost too much for people to look at."
Hearing this, Lu Qingyan blushed and lowered her head. Even Manao looked at Lu Qingyan with a teasing gaze, but because she was a servant, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous in this way, even though she was following a master like Lu Qingyan who had no manners.
Granny Luo looked at it carefully again and said to the palace maid who brought the wedding dress, "The dress is still a bit long and should be shortened, otherwise the princess will easily fall when stepping over the fire basin. Also, the waist should be made thinner, otherwise the princess will look too petite."
The palace maid seemed to respect Granny Luo very much, listening attentively and nodding repeatedly: "Granny Luo, I've remembered it. I'll go back and make the changes right away. The wedding day is in about ten days, so I'll definitely make it in time."
Lu Qingyan's fingers began to twitch together. Spending her life with Sima Xing was something she dared not even think about. She was familiar with him yet also a stranger to him, but she didn't reject his closeness.
Sensing Lu Qingyan's nervousness, Granny Luo patted her hand and said earnestly, "Princess, don't worry. Although the young master is a little weak, he's not so weak that he can't do everything himself. Even the late Emperor praised his character. This marriage is a good one for you, and the young master will definitely treat you well."
A few days passed in a daze, and suddenly tomorrow was the day of my wedding.
The moonlight was cool at night, and thin clouds surrounded the moon like a veil.
Agate approached Lu Qingyan with a letter in her hand. Her eyes were still somewhat confused, not quite understanding what was going on, but she still reported to Lu Qingyan, "Princess, this was sent by Lord Shen. Would you like to see it?"
Lu Qingyan stared blankly at the familiar words on the envelope, and holding it, she could still feel the chill of the wind.
"Princess?" Agate called out from the side.
“It’s alright,” Lu Qingyan raised her hand, “You can go now.”
