Chapter 88: Wedding (I)
August 16th is a good day for marriage. The autumn breeze is blowing gently, and it is a good time for harvest and abundant fruits.
The people of the capital were telling each other everywhere that their Great Qin God of War, His Royal Highness Prince Yan, was going to marry Su Zhenzhen, the most beautiful woman in the capital who had proposed building the Royal Academy!
In the eyes of the common people, Su Zhenzhen is simply the noble lady who is most worthy of their Highness the Prince of Yan.
Their God of War of the Great Qin should marry the most beautiful woman in the capital. As the saying goes, flowers go with BMWs, and beauties go with heroes.
What's more, she is the beloved daughter of Prime Minister Su. Prime Minister Su has led the reform in the past few months. The Single Whip Law he implemented can really reduce their burden. Even if it is only piloted in local areas first, the people believe that after the land is surveyed, it will be promoted nationwide in three to five years.
Lord Su, who is so dedicated to the country and the people, should become the in-law of their wise and powerful Majesty.
What's more important is that today it is said that His Royal Highness Prince Yan has prepared a thousand taels of silver and copper coins to bring good luck to everyone on the way to the wedding.
The red carpet for the wedding was laid out from Prince Yan's Mansion to Su's Mansion. Bright red silk was tied all over the branches on both sides of the wedding street. No ten-mile red wedding dress could compare to it.
It is also said that the Prince Yan’s Palace will not take back the silk on these branches, but will distribute it to the people of the whole city to share in the joy.
On the day of the wedding, the moon was high in the dusky night sky, and the twinkling stars were dimmed under the bright moon.
Rong Jinchen, who had not slept all night, got up at 3:00 am. With a little hurry, he washed and changed his clothes with the help of Gu Heng. He wore a bright red nine-tassel crown, his black hair tied up in a crown, and precious cloud brocade embroidered with golden dragons woven with gold thread. His handsome face did not look haggard at all because he had applied a natural facial mask made of egg white and cucumber early in the morning, and applied pearl jade powder. Instead, he looked refreshed and energetic.
After helping him change his clothes, Gu Heng looked at Rong Jinchen with a clear face and said in a very happy voice, "Your Highness, you are really handsome today, like a god, very handsome. The princess will definitely be stunned by you." Why is he so happy!
The tall and handsome man had a distinct curve on his thin lips and a smile in his eyes, "Gu Heng, why didn't you say the auspicious words you have practiced for many days?" He had heard Gu Heng and Gu Cheng competing with each other many times.
Gu Heng smiled flatteringly, "Your Highness, I'm looking forward to you and the Princess living together forever. I've got a lot of things to say to you, but I'm afraid you might miss the auspicious time." Rong Jinchen smiled, "There will be a generous reward." He wasn't stingy at all. Gu Heng was very happy, "Thank you, Your Highness."
When it was just dawn, Rong Jinchen went to the ancestral temple first. Rong Yue also got up early and went to the ancestral temple. Since he didn't have to attend court today, he didn't need to go on time.
What can stop an old father from wanting to attend his son's wedding?
After reporting to the ancestral temple, the bright morning sun rose and the sky was filled with brilliant morning glow, as if the weather was good. However, Rong Jinchen had no intention of enjoying the beautiful sunrise and was anxiously waiting for the auspicious time.
As for Su Zhenzhen, she was undergoing a 360-degree, no-dead-angle spa using the secret recipe of the palace.
As soon as the sky brightened, Su Zhenzhen was woken up by someone.
Just when she was about to get angry when she woke up, she thought it was not worth it. She frowned slightly, pursed her lips and wanted to go back to bed to continue sleeping, but Bai Zhi pulled her out of bed and said, "Miss, today is your wedding day, don't sleep anymore."
Su Zhenzhen's mind was still in a trance, and she subconsciously nestled in Bai Zhi's arms. Fortunately, Bai Zhi had practiced martial arts and was very strong, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to pull the young lady out of bed.
The sleepy girl yawned, her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she couldn't open her eyes. She was like a puppet being served, bathing and taking care of herself.
"Ah..." Su Zhenzhen was so scared that she woke up. Were you ancient people so open-minded?
Her little face flushed red, and the feeling of the touch was still lingering. "Miss, this is an ointment for maintaining your body. It can help you suffer less." Lu Wu did her homework and said with a smile.
Su Zhenzhen: ...
So washing her hair clean is a good deal for Rong Jinchen?
She wasn't sleepy at all now. She watched as seven or eight maids and a nanny in the bathroom helped her bathe, trim her nails, apply floral water, and care for her hair...
Su Zhenzhen felt that they seemed to be playing the Miracle Nikki game, and she was that Nikki.
The nanny who was helping with the massage was the best in the palace. She smiled and said, "Miss Su has the best figure I have ever seen. Her skin is as delicate as white jade. Many young ladies and ladies would envy her. It seems that our Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is very lucky." She couldn't let her go, but Su Zhenzhen just lowered her eyes shyly and said nothing. She was still a virgin.
After a whole hour of care inside and out, Su Zhenzhen's already beautiful face suddenly became radiant, pink and attractive.
She was pressed again on a rose chair with a cotton cushion in front of a five-screen mirror stand made of huanghuali wood with dragon patterns. The peep show that reflected her face clearly was very clean.
There is also a full-length peep show next to it.
Looking at the stunning girl with fair and rosy complexion in the mirror, Su Zhenzhen simply wanted to give a thumbs up to the palace's secret beauty formula.
The life of the ruling class is so luxurious and decadent.
Ye Mingyan knew that Su Zhenzhen liked to sleep in, so she specially asked someone to wake her up an hour later.
Today she was wearing the court dress of a first-rank lady, and her expression was very happy, yet also revealed reluctance. She was delighted that her daughter, whom she had pampered like a treasure for many years, was about to get married, but she was also reluctant to let her leave home.
Su Zhenzhen is currently having her face opened with silk thread. The person in charge of opening her face is a very blessed lady named Mrs. Quanfu, who has everything she wants, a loving couple, two sons and one daughter, and good skills.
Fortunately, there were no small hairs on her face, and Mrs. Quanfu was very skilled, so Su Zhenzhen hardly felt any pain.
After finally recovering, Su Zhenzhen pouted her little mouth, her face rosy and moist, "Mom, I'm so hungry, I want to have breakfast." She didn't even have breakfast, her little hand pulling the corner of Ye Mingyan's sleeve.
Of all things, eating is the most important thing. How could a bride not be allowed to have breakfast after getting married?
Mrs. Quanfu smiled and said, "Miss Su, it's unsightly to have food stuck in your stomach. Today is a big day that only happens once in a lifetime. You just have to be patient and eat some snacks that are easy to digest." But I have never heard of any bride eating breakfast. Most people only have one or two pieces of cakes and wet the corners of their lips with a handkerchief.
Su Zhenzhen looked at Ye Mingyan with wet eyes, "Mom~" Her voice was soft and tender, and she shook her little hand again.
Ye Mingyan looked at Su Zhenzhen, who was pouting, and felt a little distressed. "Zhenzhen, please don't let His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan know about this, otherwise he will think I am a stepmother and abuse you. Luwu, go and serve breakfast." After all, Zhenzhen didn't have to go through the cumbersome steps like the Crown Princess, she could just go directly to the Prince of Yan's Mansion. But she was still a little worried, "Zhenzhen, you should eat less later." Su Zhenzhen nodded obediently, "Okay."
Madam Quanfu didn't dare to speak. Madam Su, the Prime Minister's wife, used His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan as an excuse, both openly and secretly, but she didn't dare to speak.
Su Zhenzhen had a simple breakfast and put down her chopsticks when she was only three-quarters full. After regaining her energy, she began to be served with makeup and dressing, so that she could be a beautiful bride.
snort.
She must dress up to her heart's content today and try her best to amaze Rong Jinchen for the rest of his life!
