Chapter 1999: Chapter 1937: The Grand Wedding
Living two lifetimes, although already married to Ah Jiu, she had never gone through the actual grand wedding ceremony nor ever thought about it, so unlike all the brides-to-be, she didn’t feel excited or shy, anxious, and unable to sleep, nor nervous.
Yet, having truly experienced it, Wufu couldn’t help but secretly sigh in her heart, this marriage process is so cumbersome.
Before dawn even broke, Wufu was pulled from her warm and soft bed, pressed into the bathtub, and bathed and groomed.
New brides must undergo facial grooming and hair styling, and this step is performed by a lady of high prestige, who has both children and grandchildren, and whose descendants have succeeded.
For Wufu, Empress Dowager Mo invited the wife of the Grand Preceptor Yan, who was familiar to her, Yan Er’s grandmother, Old Madam Yan.
Old Madam’s hair was silver-white, yet her complexion was rosy, her spirit vigorous. She was extremely gentle and bright, the venerable ancestor of the Yan Family, blessed with longevity and prosperity, earning much respect.
Towards Wufu, Old Madam Yan was well aware and even knew this girl was also the savior of her disobedient grandson, already feeling some gratitude in her heart. Having interacted with her several times, they enjoyed each other’s company.
Therefore, when Empress Dowager Mo invited her, Old Madam Yan agreed without hesitation; she was glad to do festive things.
"Today, it will be that rascal Yan Er carrying you out," Old Madam Yan said with a smile.
Wufu was mid-yawn, surprised at the words: "Yan Er is back?" Wasn’t he in the Western Regions?
"He just came home two days ago," Old Madam Yan replied with a smile, "He was forced back by his grandfather’s threat to put his life on the line."
Listening to this, Wufu’s mouth twitched slightly, what a ’threat to put his life on the line’.
Old Madam Yan looked at her through the copper mirror, saying meaningfully, "He is also nearing thirty, having wandered for so many years, his grandfather is old, and he should take on the family responsibilities."
Wufu raised an eyebrow and said, "That’s rather good, Brother Yan is quick-witted and unmatched in wisdom. If he could enter the court as an official, it would equal our Prince having another advisor."
Old Madam Yan smiled slightly; such a clever child indeed.
A noble family passing down through generations must cultivate an optimal family successor. Yan Er was the Master of Top Scholar during Emperor Yan’s era, but he didn’t serve as an official, having wandered for many years.
Now, with Emperor Yan’s days numbered, once he passes, the new emperor era will arise. The Yan Family doesn’t want to decline and must emerge, securing a place in the court, perhaps to become a teacher to the Crown Prince, an Imperial Teacher.
After mentioning it briefly, Old Madam Yan no longer spoke of this and instead picked up the jade comb, gently lifted a strand of Wufu’s hair, combing it through while chanting: "One combing, to the end... Two combings, to the silver-haired brow... Three combings, to the full house of descendants."
Listening to these blessings, Wufu felt her heart calm down, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
After combing the hair came facial grooming and makeup, with Wufu’s skin being well-nurtured by the special powder crafted by Bai Xiaobai, maintaining excellent condition, eating well with a fresh rosy complexion that thick makeup would overshadow her natural essence.
Hence, Purple Jade personally applied her makeup, using the finest cosmetics, lightly enhancing her eyebrows, tinting her lips, achieving a perfect balance.
Once the makeup was done, she changed into the grand wedding attire, Phoenix at Flight, a red wedding robe, exquisite and luxurious, making her appear like a dazzling Bright Pearl of a prosperous era, splendid and striking.
Wufu turned around, smiling towards the room filled with ladies invited to witness, elegant and graceful, her nobility beyond words.
Today, she has a grand wedding, formally announcing to the world, she is the Princess Consort to Prince Jin, Jhin Mo!
