Early the next morning, before dawn, Chen Li was dug out of bed by Lin Cuicui.
"Ali, today is your big day, you can sleep another day."
Chen Li opened her sleepy eyes and was called by the maid to wash up.
Several maids helped Chen Li wash and dress, and their faces couldn't help blushing as they looked at the young lady's beautiful figure.
After changing into a red middle-length gown, she was pulled to sit at the dressing table, and a matchmaker in festive attire came forward with a thin thread.
"Princess, let me clean your face today."
She took the thread and twisted it around Shen Li's face. The closer she got to her, the more she realized that Princess Hui'an's skin was really good.
She was so close that she didn't see any marks on her face. All she could see was her fair, tender and smooth skin.
The movements of her hands were very light, but Princess Hui'an's face still turned red, which added a bit of shyness to her.
After cleaning the noodles, he simply asked someone to bring over some snacks, "Ali, eat a little to fill your stomach first, and drink less water."
"I know, mother."
After working until dawn, Chen Li was finally able to take a break. She had already changed into her wedding dress, and her hair was still hanging down behind her.
Xu Taohua also came, but she didn't bring the two little ones with her. There were already many people in the bridal chamber, and bringing them would have made it even noisier.
It was still early and no guests had arrived yet. Shen Changshan and his sons were sitting outside in the yard.
After Chen Li finished her snack, she sat back down at the dressing table. Lin Cuicui stood behind her, holding a comb in her hand.
Looking at her daughter's delicate and pretty face in the mirror, Lin Cuicui combed her hair with a comb, "Combing from head to toe, we are forever in love."
Chen Li looked at A Niang and suddenly felt a sour taste in her nose.
"Combing from head to toe, love is as deep as the sea."
"Comb your hair three times to the end, and happiness will always be with you."
After combing her hair, Lin Cuicui's eyes were already filled with tears, and even Xu Taohua beside her couldn't help but have red eyes.
Chen Li also felt a little sad. She had been here for many years and was about to get married today, but it felt like yesterday was a lifetime ago.
"mother."
Lin Cuicui blinked her eyes and held back her tears. "Look, mother, it's such a happy day. It's unlucky to cry."
After combing her hair, Lin Cuicui stepped aside and let others put makeup on Chen Li.
Chen Li's mind was not on this at first, but when she saw what they picked up, alarm bells immediately went off in her heart and she raised her hand to refuse.
"No, you guys comb my hair first and I'll put on my makeup myself."
The two matchmakers looked at each other, and finally responded in a low voice, "Yes, Princess."
Watching her long hair being turned into an exquisite hairstyle bit by bit in their hands, Shen Li took a deep breath.
After they left, she looked at the rouge and lipstick on the table, picked out a few, and then began to put on makeup on her face.
Lin Cuicui and Xu Taohua were watching from the side, and the two bridesmaids were also watching, and then their eyes brightened little by little as Chen Li moved.
After putting on makeup, I looked in the mirror. The girl in the mirror had bright eyes and white teeth. Her facial features were more three-dimensional after putting on makeup. With a slight curl of her lips, she looked like a charming girl with a smile.
"The princess has such a skillful hand!"
"Yes, with your skills, there are few in the capital who can match you."
Now I finally understand why I saw it clearly just now and rejected them both like that. There is no comparison at all.
"Ali is so beautiful!"
Su Zhihui saw this scene as soon as she walked in. Chen Li was so beautiful even without wearing her wedding dress and phoenix crown. She must be even more eye-catching after she puts them on.
"Aunt, sister-in-law."
After greeting Lin Cuicui and Xu Taohua, Su Zhihui circled around Chen Li.
"Ali, how did you put on this makeup? It looks so beautiful."
Looking closely, I didn't feel any trace of makeup, but Chen Li was even more beautiful than usual.
"Want to learn?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Come to the palace some other day and I'll teach you."
"Okay, okay!"
Chen Li's makeup skills are much better than those of matchmakers. She also wants to learn some skills so that she can use them when she gets married.
When she thought about getting married, her face flushed.
After Chen Li put on her makeup, two matchmakers brought their maids around her and helped her put on her wedding dress.
A quarter of an hour later, the wedding dress was on Chen Li's body. Everyone in the room was stunned when they saw her walk out.
Su Zhihui swallowed her saliva. Ah Li is so beautiful. Prince Jingnan is so lucky.
Lu Nian was also standing at the door, and when he saw Chen Li's beautiful appearance, his eyes sparkled.
Sister Ali is so beautiful!
Seeing that they were all staring at herself in a daze, Chen Li walked to the mirror, looked left and right, and became more satisfied with the wedding dress.
She had a slim figure in the mirror, and the bright red wedding dress made her skin look as white as snow, with delicate features, willow eyebrows and red lips.
Chen Li sat in front of the mirror, letting Lin Cuicui and Xu Taohua bring her beauty. There was a red veil on the table, which was embroidered by Pei Yu himself.
The maid beside him was holding a fan and some jewelry in her hands, and Lin Cuicui and Xu Taohua put them on his hair bit by bit.
Outside, Shen Changshan and his companions had already gone out to entertain the guests, and only the women were left in the yard.
After everything was packed up, Chen Li sat on the bed with the heavy phoenix crown on her head and breathed a long sigh of relief.
I’m really tired!
Not only am I physically tired, I'm mentally tired as well.
…
Prince Jingnan's Palace
Pei Yu hadn't fallen asleep since he came back last night. He forced himself to fall asleep in the middle of the night, but woke up in less than half an hour.
He simply decided not to sleep and asked Tianqing to wake up everyone in the Jingnan Palace.
By daybreak, he had already changed into a bright red wedding gown and was waiting for the time to pick up Chen Li.
Outside the general's mansion, Jiang Huaichuan looked at the Zhennan General's Mansion with red silk and wedding characters hanging on it, feeling bitter in his heart. Suddenly, he saw a familiar person get off the carriage and hurried over.
"Wen Song!"
Just as Shen Wensong helped Lu Yunshu out of the carriage, he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw Jiang Huaichuan.
"Jiang Huaichuan?"
"Why are you in the capital too?"
Jiang Huaichuan walked over, his face full of excitement, "It's really you, I thought I was seeing things."
"Who is this?"
Lu Yunshu asked Shen Wensong beside him, and Shen Wensong introduced him: "We used to be from the same village."
Lu Yunshu nodded slightly and reminded him, "Then chat with him for a few minutes and don't waste time."
"Don't worry, my lady."
Shen Wensong looked at Jiang Huaichuan, "Brother Jiang, what are you doing here?"
Since he is not my aunt's fiancé now, it is not wrong to call him Brother Jiang.
Jiang Huaichuan looked towards the Zhennan General's Mansion and said, "I heard that today is Chen Li's big day, and I also want to go in to celebrate, but I can't get in."
A hint of doubt flashed across Shen Wensong's face, but he didn't ask.
"I can't make the decision on this. I'll go in and ask my uncle and the others."
