”Miss, quickly put on your clothes, it's almost time.” Riko ran forward and back, instructing the maidservants by her side to pack up the auspicious clothing and jade ornaments. ”Hurry and help the wangfei change into her clothes.”

Xiao Qingyi sat on the bed with a headache. She pressed one hand to her temples and the other to her stomach as she waited for them to strip her clothes. If it wasn't for the fact that she knew that this ancient dress was too heavy for her, she would have already thrown these people out.

Normally, she hated troublesome things the most. The simpler she wore things, the better. At most, two hairpins were not allowed on her head. Now that she was wearing one, it would be strange if she didn't get too angry.

Riko naturally knew of her young miss's personality. Seeing her impatient expression, she did not dare to provoke her ancestor on such a happy day. She waved her hand and said, ”Alright, I'll take the rest. You can all leave.”

”Yes.” The maidservants all retreated, not daring to linger here any longer.

This master was usually quite gentle, why was he looking so unhappy on such a joyous day?

There were not so many people in the room. Only then did Xiao Qing Ran heave a sigh of relief as she pulled open the buttons of her big red wedding dress and sighed: ”It's really troublesome enough. If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have agreed to that man's request.”

”My lady, your highness has worked so hard for three or four days for this wedding, if I were to hear your words, I would definitely be grieving.” Riko put down the jade hairpin in her hand and helped her retie the buttons. ”Look, this wedding dress was personally made by the prince. I heard that the patterns on it were all designed by the prince himself.”

Xiao Qing Ran rolled her eyes as she raised her body to let Li Er tidy up her clothes. ”Come on, that man would be sad over such a thing. I've been tired for so many days, but he seems to be very happy.”

Riko giggled and carefully arranged the corners of her wedding dress, ”Miss, you are really … It's only right for the prince to be happy about such a thing. In the eyes of others, Miss, your attitude is truly strange. ”

Xiao Qing Ran slanted her eyes and sat upright, ”I say, Li Er, did you benefit from that man? ”Why did you always speak up for that man these past two days?”

Riko chuckled coyly. ”How can that be? I am doing it for the miss's own good.”

Although the prince had secretly given his underlings quite a few good things, but … Cough cough, this can't be considered as him being bribed. She really did it all for the sake of the young mistress!

Even if Xiao Qingran did not know how she could not understand Su Qianhan, just by looking at her expression, she knew that she had guessed correctly.

Su Qianhan was becoming more and more adept at playing, even trying to win the hearts of others with this little favor. It seemed like she had let these rascals train their minds to such an extent.

”Alright young miss, it's getting late. Let Li Er help you get dressed, it won't be good if you miss the auspicious time.” She was led to the dressing table.

Although her stomach was bulging, it was impossible to tell that she was pregnant from being wrapped by the large dress.

Ri-Er called out for Qing'er. This servant girl was a servant before the City Lord's Mansion. She was young, but she was also intelligent. Seeing that she wasn't someone with ill intentions, Ri-Er ordered her to stay.

After all, she, her master, didn't like to be in charge of family matters. Previously, she had trusted people to manage things for her, but now that she was here, she couldn't do it all by herself.

Qing`er heard someone call out from within the room, and pushed open the door with something in her hands. ”Princess Wangfei Wan An, Big Sister Li Er.”

”Qing`er, have you prepared the things that I've asked you to prepare?” Riko took out a golden phoenix hairpin and gestured it at Xiao Qing Ran's head.

”He's already here.” Qing`er spread out a piece of paper that was as long as a memorial in her palm and scattered it in the air, ”Do you want to read it now?”

Out of the corner of her eye, Xiao Qingran saw that the object was at least half a meter long. It was covered with small words, ”What is this thing?”

”Miss will know in a while.” After which, she turned to Qing`er and said, ”Read it.”

”Alright.” Qing`er nodded and took two steps forward to stand next to Xiao Qingran. ”Princess, you have to listen carefully. It's getting late. I can't read it twice no matter how long I read it.”

Xiao Qing was startled, ”What do you mean?”

”Princess, please listen carefully. Because the wedding ceremony is a bit rushed and the Prince knows that you don't like the tedious etiquette, many of the etiquette that can be dispensed with has been cancelled for you in advance. The rest is the procedure written on this list.”

Xiao Qing looked at the ”list” and suddenly felt that she did not want to continue.
