Chapter 117 - 115. Leaving to Da Qi I (1/2)
Third person POV
A week had passed and the dowry had been sorted out by Bai Huiqing, the day she had to leave the Xu residence had come. She woke up like usual and took a warm bath before she dressed up with a glamorous dress that came with the dower. She had to put more accessories in her hair and her body but knowing that Hong er didn't really like complicated accessories, Weisheng purposely chose simpler designed accessories.
Huayun defined Hong er's brow and put on some rouge on her cheek and lips, a little bit of eyeliner and done. At the same time Meiyun finished doing Hong er's hair, Huayun choose a few hair accessories from 10 boxes full of jewelries. They were putting the hair ornament when Meiyun noticed at the corner of the dressing table there was the white jade hair ornaments that Hong er always uses. Meiyun glanced at the dazed Hong er before she took the white jade hair ornament and slide it in her hair.
Meiyun: ” Ooh la la~ Our Young Miss is the best.”
Huayun: ” Meiyun, can't you be more polite?”
Meiyun: ” I am just too stunned by Young Miss' beauty that I don't know how to talk properly.”
Huayun sighed, at the same time she agreed with Meiyun's words. Hong er could bewitch anyone just by a glance, whether it was men or women, they would fall head over heels for her. Startled by Meiyun's loud voice, Hong er looked up to the mirror and her jaw dropped when she saw her own reflection on the mirror.
Meiyun: ” Look! Young Miss likes the hairstyle I made.”
Huayun: ” No, she likes the make-up.”
Meiyun: ” No, the hairstyle.”
Huayun: ” Make up.”
While Meiyun and Huayun were bickering of who did the best job, Hong er touched the white jade hair ornament and stared at it.
Huayun: ” Young Miss?”
Hong er snapped out of her mind when Huayun called her.
Huayun: ” Are you okay? You have been spacing out since you woke up.”
Hong er quickly retracted her hand and shook her head. But she forgot that she wore a dangling hair ornaments, the clinking sound startled Hong er. Since she has to do missions in silence, she never wore something that could cause noises, that's why she was quite surprised by the sudden noise. She chuckled by her own clumsiness.
Hong er: ” Hahaha, I am okay. Just reminiscing some memories.”
Without even saying it, they knew what Hong er was thinking about. Meiyun could only pat Hong er's shoulder and smiled widely.
Meiyun: ” Ehehehe~”
Hong er smiled back at Meiyun then a few knocks were heard.
Maid: ” Young Miss, the carriage had arrived.”
