Both worlds are like dreams

Chapter 298 Waiting for Marriage

Xue Huang stayed in Mo Xingyue's palace for several days in a row. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun with Mo Xingyue every day, she was preparing her dowry.

Dong Chu's betrothal gifts have also arrived in the past few days. They are all precious treasures, jade, silk and satin. As for the betrothal gifts and dowry, which totaled 200,000 taels of gold, they have all been exchanged for silver notes. As for the war horses, they will be delivered after the wedding is settled.

Xue Huang's dowry belonged to her, so it was directly carried into her princess mansion. However, she was also Bei Ling's princess, so the emperor also ordered that she be prepared with the same dowry as Mo Xingyue, and it was all carried into her princess mansion.

The Hanxi Palace also prepared the betrothal gifts in accordance with Beiling's customs and sent them into the palace.

The wedding dresses for her and Mo Xingyue were prepared by the Shanggong Bureau. The sizes had been measured and they were now being made without delay.

People from the Shanggong Bureau and the Ministry of Rites came in and out of Mo Xingyue's bedroom every day, happily preparing all the items needed for the wedding, as well as the wedding ceremony on the wedding day.

Even the city of Shangyang was hung with red lanterns and red silk, and everything was bustling with activity.

Xue Huang had never known that so many things needed to be prepared for a marriage, especially for a princess’s wedding, which required preparing everything that one would need in one’s lifetime.

Mo Xingyue's bedroom had long been full of space, and fortunately the things given to her were not piled in as well, otherwise there would be no place to step.

People from the Shanggong Bureau kept coming to try out new clothes and jewelry for her and Mo Xingyue. They were so exquisite that even the embroidery on a silk scarf had to be done with care. Xuehuang really had no interest in it, so Mo Xingyue made all the decisions for her.

That day, when Mo Ruilin entered the palace, he brought Yun Qing and two maids into the palace.

At that time, Xuehuang was curled up on the couch by the window, staring at the ginkgo tree in the yard. It was already late autumn, and the leaves of the tall ginkgo tree had turned golden, which was very beautiful.

It was not until Mo Ruilin called her that she came back to her senses, with a flash of surprise in her eyes, "Fifth brother? Yun Qing?"

Yun Qing and the two women following behind him bowed together, "Meet the princess."

"Why are you here?"

Mo Ruilin explained, "You live alone in the palace with no one to take care of you. After discussing with Brother Wei, I asked Miss Luo Ning to pick two people and bring them into the palace with Miss Yun Qing to accompany you."

"I'm fine here," Xue Huang smiled, "Xingyue is quite caring. Look at my face. Did she make me fat?"

Several people looked at her, and saw the sunlight coming in from the window, shining on her beautiful face, making her fair face look like crystal clear white jade.

Mo Ruilin smiled and said, "You are now of high status, you can't be alone, but I also know that you don't like ostentation, so I only let Miss Yun Qing bring two people in. Now that the wedding is approaching, there are many things to do, and Yuehua Palace is short of manpower. If you have a few familiar people around you to help you deal with big and small things, we can feel more at ease."

"Fifth brother is still thoughtful."

"Princess," Yun Qing introduced the two women behind her, "These are Cuinong and Haitang, both of whom were carefully selected by Sister Luo Ning. You can give them your orders."

The two women bowed to Xue Huang again, their movements were standard and their postures were spot on. It was obvious that they had been carefully trained.

Xue Huang took a close look at the two of them. Their appearance and posture were very dignified, especially their clear eyes. Since coming in, they did not look around nor did they show any timidity. They just stood there very properly.

More importantly, these two people have a calm aura, and although their skin is delicate, there is a thin layer of callus on the base of their right hands. They are obviously martial artists.

Xue Huang understood that the person chosen for her by Luo Ning must have been carefully examined by her and Wei Yunzhou, and certainly could not be some ordinary woman who was powerless.

"They're all good names, but I'm afraid that you'll be wronged if you follow me in the future."

The two men knelt down together and said, "We are willing to obey the princess' orders, even if it means death."

"Get up."

Mo Xingyue had also changed her clothes and walked out. She was a little surprised to see this scene, but then she understood and deliberately laughed, "Brother, you brought Yun Qing into the palace because you don't believe I can take good care of Xue Huang? Am I so unreliable in your eyes?"

Mo Ruilin also laughed and said, "You are the only one who can take care of Xue Huang? It's good enough that Xue Huang doesn't take care of you."

"You underestimate me!" Mo Xingyue sat down next to Xue Huang and poked her fair cheek, "Look, she looks much better than before." She had been racking her brains these past few days, coming up with different ways to make Xue Huang happy, tempting her with all kinds of delicious food, and hanging around her to play together, so that she had no time to think about those sad things, which made her very tired.
