Chapter 136 - 134. The Wedding I (1/2)

Third person POV

After laughing quite hard, Hong er's nervousness about the marriage more or less subsided. Then the maids massaged Hong er's body with fragrant oil to make her skin smoother and shinier. They led Hong er to her dressing room and put on the wedding dress on her, the dress had a plenty of layers which Hong er somewhat dislike.

Hong er: ' It is gonna be hot.'

Hong er slightly pouted, yet, even after the maid had put on the last layer, she didn't feel suffocated.

Laojin: ” Are you wondering why Miss Xu didn't feel hot despite layers of fabric?”

Hong er: ” Jin Momo! Since when?”

Laojin: ” Hahaha, my job outside was done, now I came to do Miss's hairstyle.”

Hong er: ” Oohh~ I'm curious of the fabric, it feels cool and soft.”

Laojin: ” This fabric has a slight cooling effect and has a good airing therefore one won't feel humid even with layers of cloth.”

Hong er: ” Wahh~”

Laojin: ” His Majesty specially ordered this fabric for Miss Xu knowing that Miss Xu dislike heat.”

Hong er: ” His Majesty did?”

Laojin: ” Yes.”

Hong er: ' How did he know? Were our security in the residence so loose?'

Hong er: ” Please pass my regards to His Majesty for his thoughtfulness, I can't thank him enough for everything he had gave me.”

Laojin: ” Aiyo, Miss Xu~ You can thank His Majesty yourself tonight~”

Hong er laughed awkwardly to Laojin's joke, she really hope that the emperor won't come to her room but it would tarnish her family's name.

Hong er: ' Sheng ge, I'm sorry. I love you but I've got no choice.'

She sat down in front of her dressing table and Laojin started to do her hair while the maids were choosing accessories and doing her make-up. They were stunned when Hong er took off her mask for the first time in front of them, her black eyelashes were so long and full contrasting to her bright golden eyes. Even Laojin's hands stopped moving when she saw Hong er's reflection in the mirror.

Laojin: ' Her beauty can bewitch any man…'

Then Laojin glanced at Hong er's mask, she was relieved that Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing decided to put mask on Hong er or else, many unnecessary troubles would come.

Laojin: ' It is the beautiful bird that gets caged.'

The maids were still gawking at Hong er with wide eyes, even though they had seen many beautiful noble ladies make an appearance in the palace, they never saw this kind of beauty. The red lotus mark on her glabella complimented her fair skin, Hong er's face exuded calming and serenity aura, they contemplated if they were going crazy because their eyes saw Hong er's body emitted light.

(A/N: Glabella= the area between eyebrows.)

Hong er felt that it was funny by how the maids just stopped all of their movements just to look at her. She looked at them and showed them her brightest smile. They immediately squinted their eyes from the radiance of Hong er's smile.

Maids: ' MA EYES! Holly molly! Is she a goddess?!'

Meiyun: ” HAH! All of you have fallen for my Young Miss doncha?”

Meiyun appeared behind them out of the blue and made the maids shrieked.

Huayun: ” *sigh, Meiyun, stop teasing the poor girls. We haven't been here for two days and you almost killed them from heart attack.”
