The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Chapter 759: The ladies help the new queen dress up

Apart from attending to state affairs, Ji Chenyu spent most of his time resting during this month. He hardly ever entered the harem, and the people who wanted to harm him didn't dare to continue poisoning him, so he was able to recuperate well.

On the eve of the Emperor and Empress' wedding, Ji Chenyu, lying on the dragon bed, was filled with excitement, joy, nervousness and other emotions.

Luo Cheng looked at his master who could hardly hide his joy, and he was happy for him too.

The person his master has been waiting for for many years is finally going to become his.

Ji Chenyu touched the jade pendant in his hand. He still remembered that this was the first gift she gave him when he was a teenager, and he has treasured it till now.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep with a happy smile. He was in a very good mood and woke up after a good sleep before the sun rose.

Yesterday, Shen Jiarou returned to the Regent Princess's Mansion. She had already gotten used to her status as the Queen and was once again preparing for her wedding.

As soon as she got up, she began to wash and change her clothes. Those who helped her change her clothes were all royal ladies and noble ladies in the court, as well as the noble princesses and daughters of the royal family.

Madam Fu Da and Madam Fu Er helped Shen Jiarou put on clothes one by one; Madam Fu San tied a belt for her; Madam Fu Si, namely Xie Lianxiang and Su Yuning, took a bright red phoenix wedding gown and helped her put it on.

Mrs. Wang, a tutor, and Mrs. Bai, holding a bright red shawl with a phoenix pattern, draped the shawl over Shen Jiarou's arms. The eldest princess, who was waiting on the side, helped her walk to the dressing table and sat down.

"Please take a seat, Your Majesty!" Her fourth sister was indeed a blessed person. She was now the mother of a country, and in the future she would be the even more honorable ancestor, the Empress Dowager.

The gentle and dignified elder lady of the royal family, the Princess of Prince Su, combed her long black hair. She took the jade comb and began to comb Shen Jiarou's hair from head to toe.

"If you comb your hair once to the end, the couple will love each other and stay together until old age; if you comb your hair twice to the end, the marriage will be happy; if you comb your hair three times to the end, the couple will have many children and grandchildren."

Princess Rong, a noble lady from the royal family with many children, began to do a bun for Shen Jiarou. She had been learning and practicing this alone for a long time. Soon, she had a delicate, gentle and simple bun done.

The third princess, who was good at drawing eyebrows and eyes, began to make up for Shen Jiarou. She first applied powder to her face, then applied eyebrows, eyes, blush, and contouring, then drew a noble and cool peony pattern on her hairpins, and finally put on lip balm.

Princess Kangmei carefully picked up the phoenix crown and respectfully placed it on Shen Jiarou's head.

The Crown Prince's Consort Gao Feili picked up the phoenix hairpin that had been prepared at the side, bent down slightly and inserted it into Shen Jiarou's bun.

After Shen Jiarou had put on her headdress, Princess Le'an turned around, picked up the custom-made pure gold phoenix earrings and put them on Shen Jiarou's ears.

When the last step of makeup was completed, all the ladies looked at the gentle, dignified, generous and noble Shen Jiarou and praised her.

Princess Su blurted out: "It's so beautiful."

The gentle Princess Rong smiled softly: "She is very beautiful. The Queen has fair skin, beautiful looks and a good foundation."

I didn't expect that the fourth princess would be married off a second time, and she would marry into the royal family. It turns out that she was born to be a royal family member.

Amid the elders and noble ladies praising and discussing, the Second Princess seemed quieter. She walked gently to the dressing table, reached out and picked up an exquisite white jade bracelet of excellent texture from Nanqi's tray, and looked respectfully at the beautiful, gentle, cold, dignified and unworldly Fourth Sister.

"Your Majesty, I will put on the bracelet for you."

Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Jiarou turned around and silently met the Second Princess' sincere eyes. Soon, her red lips opened slightly.

"Thank you, Second Sister."

Shen Jiarou gently raised her hand, and the second princess slowly put it on, giving her good wishes at the same time.

"I wish the Fourth Imperial Sister eternal youth, and I wish the Imperial Sister-in-law peace and prosperity!"

Shen Jiarou smiled: "Thank you, Second Sister, Second Sister!"

Now the relationship between them is really even closer!

The official from the Ministry of Rites saw that the time was almost up, so he shouted aloud to remind everyone.

"The auspicious time is approaching, please ask the Queen to come out of the room!"

When Princess Su heard this, she hurriedly urged him.

"The auspicious time is almost here. Please hand the Queen a round fan to cover her face."

The princess consort of Yang Taobo, the prince of Changbo Mansion, hurriedly and respectfully handed over an exquisite and precious phoenix round fan. Shen Jiarou took it with a light hand, then stood up and walked outside the main house with the help of the Grand Princess.

As she passed the screen step by step and reached the door, Shen Jiarou was no longer the wife of the former prince consort, but the most honorable mother of the country, the wife of the emperor, and the mistress of the harem in the Dalin Dynasty.

Because Ji Chenyu was the emperor, it was impossible for him to go out of the palace to marry in person, so the new queen was welcomed by Prince Rong, Prince Yu, the Thirteenth Prince, the Fourteenth Prince, the royal children of the Huang clan, and officials from the Ministry of Rites.

Originally, the Tenth Prince should have been here, but because of what happened more than a year ago, there was a rift between the brother and sister, so Ji Chenyu did not bring him with him.

Because Prince Rong and Shen Jiarou are siblings, and the eldest brother, in addition to welcoming the bride, he also needs to go to the main courtyard and carry Shen Jiarou to the main hall personally.

Prince Rong, dressed in princely attire, strode towards the main courtyard. Looking at the Fourth Princess who was already dressed in autumn clothes, he saluted respectfully.

"I see you, the Queen."

"No need to be polite, my dear brother!"

Prince Rong stood up, strode to her, turned around and squatted.

"Fourth Princess, come here, let your eldest brother carry you." He had been exercising relentlessly in the last month, fearing that he was too old and might drop the beautiful Fourth Princess on his back. So he asked the princess to supervise him every day.

With the help of Princess Rong and Princess Muxue, Shen Jiarou lay on his strong back.

Prince Rong stood up swiftly, put his arms around her to prevent Shen Jiarou from falling, and reached the main hall without taking a breath.

Shen Jiarou's father, Emperor Wenzong of Tang, and her mother, the old lady of Yong'an Marquis, both sat there with a mixture of emotions including nervousness, excitement, and fear on their faces. They dared not move, for fear of bringing shame to themselves and their daughter on this solemn day.

Several aunts and sons-in-law who were married out from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion couldn't help laughing when they saw their mother-in-law like this.

Seeing their adoptive father like this, Bai Yunsu and Bao Zhiqing, who was in charge of the security of the mansion, looked at each other silently and couldn't help but hold back their laughter.

When the ceremonial officer saw Prince Rong coming with the new queen on his back, he immediately raised his head, puffed out his chest and announced loudly.

"The Queen is here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately knelt down respectfully.

"See the Queen, she is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

Prince Rong put Shen Jiarou down at the door. The Thirteenth Princess San Ranyan quickly held out a round fan to cover her face, and then Shen Jiarou took the fan and stood still.

"No gift."

Shen Jiarou walked to the main seat in the main hall holding a round fan. The court lady placed a cushion in front of her and another ceremonial officer shouted.

"Farewell to my parents and relatives."

Shen Jiarou, holding a round fan, slowly knelt down on the cushion, and the ceremonial officer spoke again.

"bye!"

The part of bidding farewell to their parents was over, and the two elderly people watched her turn and leave reluctantly.

At the door, Prince Rong carried Shen Jiarou on his back again and went out of the house and stopped in front of the carriage.

The ceremonial officer here announced loudly: "Please invite the bride and queen to come to the palace!"

Princess Rong and the Grand Princess followed her and personally helped her into the carriage.

"Get up the sedan!"

The wedding procession suddenly became joyful with music and dance, and since it was the emperor's wedding, some steps that would embarrass the groom were omitted.
