The wedding day arrived quickly.
Ye Huan invited Jiang Chuwei to help with her makeup.
Ye Huan was overjoyed, "I didn't expect the princess... no, the princess is getting married so soon, and the consort is Gu Yunfei, no, wait, isn't he that scholar who likes you?"
Ye Huan was surprised. She suddenly remembered such a person. "How could it be him?"
Jiang Chuwei immediately interrupted her, "We don't know him."
Ye Huan nodded, bewildered.
Upon hearing that Princess Qingning was getting married, she happily came to find Jiang Chuwei.
Because of Jiang Chuwei, the two became inseparable confidants.
She felt a sense of familiarity with the prince consort's name from the very beginning.
It wasn't until she saw Jiang Chuwei that she remembered that this person had once liked her.
Ye Huan was unaware of the inside story of the arranged marriage.
"Let's go do our makeup first!" Jiang Chuwei said with a smile, taking Ye Huan's hand and getting into the carriage.
Ye Huan's doubts remained, but she also knew that there were times when it was best to play dumb.
The carriage soon arrived at the Prince of Xiang's residence, and the two were led into Princess Qingning's boudoir.
The Prince's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a very festive atmosphere.
The burned corners have all been repaired.
The Prince of Xiang's mansion was filled with joy.
When a princess gets married, she doesn't care about her husband's background; she values his character more.
Aside from the three masters feeling uneasy, the servants, unaware of the inside story, only knew that the princess had found a suitable husband.
Inside the boudoir, there were quite a few people, all there to help with the makeup.
It seems that Qingning is quite popular.
They all surrounded Princess Qingning, exclaiming, "Your Highness, you look absolutely stunning today!"
"Congratulations, Your Highness, on finding a good husband!"
The blessings from the crowd continued.
Qing Ning responded to each point.
No matter how unwilling they were, they were forced into marriage by imperial decree.
If this gets back to the Emperor, my father will be reprimanded.
Qingning now knows as well.
The emperor is a smiling tiger.
Before the arranged marriage, he thought his uncle, the emperor, doted on her.
It turned out to be a joke; she had unilaterally believed that even royalty had kinship.
She also realized that the emperor loved no one but her.
Even though the father had retreated again and again, the emperor still refused to let go of the Prince of Xiang's mansion.
She had previously asked if her older brother was disappointed that he didn't attend Jiang Chuwei's wedding.
Jiang Chuwei once said she had no regrets; as long as she knew her older brother and sister-in-law were doing well, she was content. No matter where they were, Jiang Chuwei always received their blessings.
Only now does she understand Jiang Chuwei's feelings.
Upon hearing that Princess Qingning was getting married, her elder brother, who was far away in his fiefdom, also wanted to come and personally witness his sister's wedding.
His mother stopped him.
The mother said that Ning'er would be very happy as long as she received her elder brother's blessing.
In the past, Princess Qingning would have felt that her mother did not love her and her elder brother did not value her.
Now, she only hopes that her elder brother will never come back and never set foot in the capital again in this lifetime.
That dog emperor is inhuman.
If the eldest brother returns, the emperor will find an excuse to let him stay.
They can't afford to gamble anymore.
My eldest brother left Beijing when he was young.
Qingning hadn't seen her older brother for many years.
But she felt that this was fine.
Even if we never see each other again, as long as my elder brother is well, meeting again seems insignificant.
The greatest happiness is for the whole family to be safe and sound.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Jiang Chuwei smiled and looked at Qing Ning.
Qingning's tears fell without warning.
Ye Huan had no time to wipe the smile off her face. She stared blankly at Qing Ning. On such a joyous day, why was this happening?
Jiang Chuwei took out a handkerchief, "You can't cry today, or your makeup will be ruined and you won't look good."
Qingning tried to force a smile, but more tears fell.
Ye Huan quickly closed the door; it wouldn't be good if someone saw them.
Jiang Chuwei opened her arms and hugged Qingning tightly. "Cry! Wash away all the bad luck. After today, Qingning will definitely be happy."
Ye Huan walked over and deliberately said, "The custom of crying before marriage is only found among common people. I didn't expect that Qing Ning, as a princess, would also believe in this."
After being teased by Ye Huan like that, Qing Ning couldn't even cry anymore.
She wiped her face haphazardly, saying, "I'm sorry you had to see this."
"Look, your makeup's all ruined. You're about to get married, but you're still acting like a child."
Qingning burst into laughter through her tears, "So what if I act like a child in front of my sister-in-law?"
"Okay, when you have kids in the future, let's see if you still have the nerve to call yourself a kid?" Ye Huan said with a smile.
Suddenly, the room became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Ye Huan looked at Qing Ning, wondering if she had said something wrong.
Doesn't getting married mean having children?
Just then, the matchmaker came in and saw that the princess's makeup was ruined, so she quickly went to call someone in.
The auspicious time is almost here, so we need to hurry.
Ye Huan walked to the place in the Prince's mansion where the dowry was placed and looked around curiously.
"Wow, are these all part of the princess's dowry? They're so lavish!" Ye Huan exclaimed.
Looking at the dowry, Jiang Chuwei realized that the emperor was quite good at putting on a show.
Add to that the dowry from the Prince of Xiang's mansion, and even the most elaborate wedding procession would pale in comparison.
"Originally, these dowry items were to be placed directly into the princess's residence. My mother said she wanted me to have a grand wedding, with a procession of ten miles of red bridal procession like commoners. So these items came with me today."
'The prince consort will also come to the palace to pick you up, right?'
"Um!"
“That’s how it should be,” Jiang Chuwei said.
Whether or not a woman marries the person she loves, marriage is a lifelong commitment.
