Chapter 861 Getting Married (2)
Madam Mei smiled as she dressed Shen Miao, saying, "I've seen quite a few girls over the years. Even the daughters of officials have asked me to buy jewelry and cosmetics. I've seen all the young ladies in Dingjing, but none can compare to the princess's elegance." She smiled and said to Luo Xueyan, "Madam, don't blame me for being nosy. The princess doesn't look much like you. Madam is straightforward and honest, while the princess is elegant and graceful. Even the nobles in the palace seem a bit inferior to her."
Luo Xueyan was naturally happy to hear people praising her daughter, but since they were talking about the palace, she was modest: "How could it be that good? It's just that Jiaojiao is calm and composed, and she has made great progress compared to her father."
"That's not the way to say it," Madam Mei was painting Shen Miao's eyebrows as she said, "Some people, though of noble status, lack the weight of their being. They are just putting on airs. Once they take off their clothes and throw away their jewelry, they are no different from ordinary people. Some people are different. Even if they are wearing plain clothes and have nothing, they still look high and mighty. I think the princess is the latter." She smiled, "It seems that she is destined to be rich and noble. But don't worry, Madam Jin. She will definitely not be wearing plain clothes and having such fine jewelry. If I, Madam Mei, don't do the makeup for the princess, it would be a disgrace to myself. I must make the princess the most famous person in Dingjing!"
Shen Miao let Madam Mei fiddle with her while she listened to her talk. Thinking that Madam Mei seemed to be quite good at judging people, she found it interesting and listened carefully to their conversation.
The bride spent half an hour putting on her makeup.
Even the light powder needed to be applied carefully with a small wool brush. The rouge was also the most natural, the eyebrows like a crescent moon, the lips like flower petals. But the most beautiful thing about her was her eyes. Shen Miao's eyes were already clear and distinct, giving her a look of the purity of a newborn fawn. But today, Madam Mei had lightly drawn the corners of her eyes. She still had the same purity, but with a touch of grace.
It feels like she is the mother of the country.
Luo Xueyan was startled by the sudden thought. Madam Mei smiled and said, "There's nothing to do right now. The makeup people should be here soon. Madam, please stay here with the princess for now. I'll go find some fragrant leaves to make fresh ones for the princess to wear."
Luo Xueyan agreed.
Shen Miao sat at the table. Luo Xueyan looked at her charming daughter in the mirror, feeling both happy and reluctant to let her go. She held Shen Miao's hand tightly and said, "Jiao Jiao, you are getting married today. Mother has a few words to say to you."
Shen Miao said, “Mother, I’m listening.”
"When a daughter gets married, a mother always has to give her some advice. But when I married your father, your grandmother had already passed away. I only have brothers and no sisters, and my sisters-in-law are young, so no one told me these things." Luo Xueyan sighed. "So I came up with these things on my own. I don't know if they are right, but I still want to tell you."
"The key to a relationship between husband and wife is honesty. Your father and I have kept no secrets from each other for so many years. If you discover that the other party has a secret, don't be impatient and ask. Wait and be patient. He will tell you." Luo Xueyan patted Shen Miao's hand lovingly, "Mother knows that you have a stable temperament, which is a good thing. You are not easily influenced by external things. However, matters of the heart cannot be solved by just forbearance. If you like him, you will care about his every move and will act according to your heart. Then you will not be so stable."
"Be frank and direct. Don't be shy or afraid. He's your husband, the one you'll spend your life with." Luo Xueyan paused, then continued, "Jingxing promised me that after you were born, he wouldn't have any other concubines. To be honest, I don't trust him. As a member of the royal family, how could there be only one woman in his backyard? But now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time."
