C74 (1/2)

Before he went to worship …

It was a good morning. The gongs and drums were already resounding outside. Wangchuan listened to the sound of the drums outside the room. His heart was beating faster, and he didn't know where to look, feeling that it wasn't appropriate to place his hands.

This series of actions amused Mo Yun and Qiu Ju, who were dressing her up.

”Miss, you don't have to be so nervous.” Qiuju wanted to relieve the tension in Wenchuan's heart, so she spoke up.

However, she was rejected by Mo Yun, ”This marriage is the most important moment for a woman's life, it would be strange if she isn't nervous.”

”Even though you said that, look at how beautiful our family's young lady is. Young lady, don't worry, we will definitely dress you up beautifully to see a thousand years old.” Autumn Chrysanthemum also seemed to be under the influence of this joyous atmosphere, and her entire being was brimming with joy.

Mo Yun stood to the side like a white chrysanthemum, ”You guys can do it yourselves, I don't want to help!” Mo Yun wanted to be a shopkeeper, but was pulled over by Autumn Flower. ”How can you be idle on such a big day! ”Come and help.”

Wu Chuan's tense body gradually relaxed as he listened to their quarrelling.

Wangchuan sat obediently in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the table full of cosmetics. She felt very unfamiliar with it. As a woman, her daily focus was on how to perfectly complete her mission and assassinate her without leaving a trace.

Right now, she was actually sitting here and becoming a real woman. This made her feel as if she was dreaming. Forgotten had imagined his wedding with Gu Zheng countless times before, but it was still a fantasy.

”Miss, your skin is so nice. With just a casual drawing, you're already a great beauty.” Qiu Ju said with a smile.

He looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes like clear water in a deep pool. They were cold, as if he could see through everything. Her snow-white skin was pinkish, tender enough to pinch water, and she didn't leave any marks on his face due to the frequent exposure to the wind and water.

Her two red lips were as red as blood, causing people to feel that if this were to happen, any further drawing would already be unnecessary. Wu Chuan didn't know that he had such a devastatingly beautiful face. That's right, he normally hid himself in the darkness, so how could he have noticed all of this?

After tidying up, Qiuju looked at Wenchuan with satisfaction. She picked up the comb in her hand and untied Wenchuan's hair. Her long hair spread out like a waterfall, and her black hair was clearly visible.

Qiu Ju passed the comb to Mo Yun. ”Sister Mo Yun, come here.”

”Alright.” Mo Yun took the comb and combed it to the end of his hair. ”One comb to the end, two combs of white hair to the eyebrows.”

Mo Yun's actions reminded him of that day at the Gu Residence.

The aunt did the same for herself.

”One comb to the end, two combs to the eyebrows, three combs to the children and grandchildren …”

That day, the gentleness of his mother was obvious.

After a while, Mo Yunqiu combed the loose strands of her hair, tied them up, and put on an empty phoenix headdress along with a few other shiny hairpins.

”Mm …” It's so heavy! ” As she spoke, her hand unconsciously reached out to remove the accessories on her head. Normally, she would only wear a simple wooden hairpin, but now, she felt uncomfortable with it.

Seeing Wu Chuan's actions, the two maids hastily stopped him, ”Miss, it's only been a short while, you just have to bear with it!”

Wu Chuan heaved a deep sigh. In this day of celebration, it was best to follow the rules.

The bright red flowery dress covered by a thin red muslin added a hint of brilliance to the originally monotonous clothing. The wide hem was embroidered with a yellow and pink pattern. Through the muslin, the pattern was faintly discernible. The phoenix design was very novel.

The phoenix crown on his head was shining brightly.

He saw that Wu Chuan's eyebrows were like jade feathers and his muscles were like sheep fat. Her face was decorated with peach blossoms, a maidservant piled up golden phoenix silk, and a phoenix coronet and gown could be described as extremely beautiful.

It took him four hours to get dressed up. Wu Chuan looked out the window and saw that the sun was already high up in the sky. The auspicious day was about to arrive.

After an hour, someone knocked on the door and shouted, ”Good morning. Please move to the main hall, bride.”
