Today was the official day, and everyone rose early. By mid-afternoon, the two courtyards were already brightly lit. After a quick breakfast, everyone got to work.

Lu Yun struggled to swallow a plate of dim sum before being allowed a cup of tea. She was wearing three layers of clothes, making it very difficult to move.

The makeup lady and the matchmaker who were invited have already arrived. The matchmaker packed the boxes and crates according to the list, and arranged them neatly in the order in which they would go out, and ordered the maids and servants around.

The makeup lady was discussing with Caihe and Tonghua the makeup, hair accessories and clothes that the princess would wear today.

The sound of people talking could be heard inside and outside the house.

Dashou walked into the house with Biyu and Hongfei, looking a little nervous. As the only relative of her sister's family present today, she had to take on the task of seeing the bride off.

In fact, Lu Yun was also a little uneasy and nervous. This was the first time she had gotten married in her two lifetimes. When she thought about what she might encounter in the future, her heart began to beat fast.

Taking the snack handed to her by Dashou, Lu Yun subconsciously put it in her mouth. The next moment, her eyes turned red due to the stimulation of the strange taste.

"Cough cough cough, what is this?" While coughing, he picked up the remaining snack crumbs and looked at them carefully.

The makeup lady came in with a smile and said, "My Lady Princess, this is the mint ice flake and peppercorn cake that I asked the mansion to prepare for you to refresh yourself."

Lu Yun waved her hands quickly, "That's not necessary. I'm in great spirits. Please leave quickly."

Caihe held back her laughter and took the plate away.

After re-smoothing her face and rinsing her mouth, Lu Yun sat down at the dressing table and let the makeup artists play with her hair. An hour later, Lu Yun looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. "It's just a little lighter around the eyes."

The makeup girl explained, "Your Excellency's face is gorgeous, and it is only these eyes that highlight her dignity. Therefore, I will only touch upon her eyes briefly, not using heavy makeup, for fear of ruining her beauty."

The wife who is married after three matchmakers and six betrothals should be noble and dignified. If she is too gorgeous, she will not be beautiful.

"You have good skills and speak well." Lu Yun praised her generously and asked Caihe to get her a purse, which the makeup girl took with a smile.

Jade and Red Jade stared at her without blinking, "My Lady Princess, you look so beautiful today!"

Lu Yun blinked and said with a smile, "It seems that they miss my little purse. Caihe, please give one to each of them." Caihe agreed one by one and gave one to everyone in the room with a smile.

After coming out from behind the screen, he began to put on his clothes.

She wore a light green lining of plain silk, a goose yellow jacket of plain silk, and a bright red satin jacket. Over these, she wore a long gown with wide sleeves and a front opening, embroidered with a phoenix pattern in gold thread and a seven-colored mythical bird pattern symbolizing the South Yue, embroidered with the same color silk thread. She wore a crimson silk skirt with gold trimmings, and finally a dark blue shawl with a phoenix pattern and a gold pendant.

Lu Yun roughly estimated that the outfit must have weighed fifteen pounds. Fortunately, she was born with supernatural strength. In the blink of an eye, the sun was already high above the courtyard wall. The makeup girl estimated the time and waited until the matchmaker sent a maid to announce, "The groom has left."

Then he took out the five-phoenix golden crown inlaid with gemstones from the box. The makeup girl was amazed and said, "I have been a makeup girl for so many years, but I have never seen such a beautiful phoenix crown."

Lu Yun only felt that the expression on her face when she looked at the phoenix crown was much more exaggerated than the expression she had when she looked at herself just now.

"Miss Caihe, please help me. This crown is a bit heavy."

The makeup lady and Cai He carefully held the base of the phoenix corona, first placing it on Lu Yun's head to compare it, and then carefully lowering it. Lu Yun felt a sinking sensation on her head; another fifteen pounds.

Then she used a hairpin to fix it on the bun. Lu Yun carefully held Caihe's hand and stood up. It was not because she couldn't carry it, but because she felt sorry for her hair. If she moved a little too hard, her scalp would be pulled painfully.

She has to wear this phoenix crown from now on until night. No wonder some people joke that getting married is a physical job.

Not wanting anything else, Lu Yun asked Caihe to pack her a large box of snacks.

Sitting on the bed, watching Cai He and the others start to clean up the room, the voices suddenly became quiet. Lu Yun looked at the window paper-cuts on the south window and fell into memories.

She thought of her parents in her previous life. They were both honest farmers who had never left the province in their entire lives. They adhered to the life creed that sons were the roots of their descendants and that daughters should get married when they grow up.

The family’s house and property in the city belong to the son, but I paid for my daughter’s college education.

Occasionally, he would ask his daughter for some money to supplement the household expenses. The only time he borrowed money from his daughter was to buy a house for his son, but he did not ask his daughter to hand over her salary and never asked for anything else.

Although he disapproved of his daughter not getting married, he couldn't persuade her to stay married. He would occasionally send her a message asking when she would come home to visit. Dad had killed a chicken, Mom had bought fish, and Grandpa and Grandma had planted a crop of fresh green vegetables...

Lu Yun's eyes were sore. "Dad, Mom, my daughter is getting married today."

The sound of drums and music brought Lu Yun out of her thoughts. Moments later, a blast of firecrackers echoed through the air, and the servants in the courtyard rushed to the front door to celebrate. Jasper and Red Jade were particularly bold, forcing the groom to recite several urging poems before letting him go.

The others didn't dare to bother Liuzi, who was wearing a brand new brocade red silk dress, and surrounded him in layers to please him. Liuzi gave away all the red envelopes on his body. Seeing that they were still surrounding him, he saw an opportunity and turned around to slip out.

Liuzi ran in front, and the people behind chased him while laughing, and everyone laughed. In the end, Hong Fei smiled and let them go, and everyone gave up.

Liuzi wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand and sat down next to Miss Caihe. "Are they all in?" The door to the main room was closed tightly and no sound was heard.

Cai He carried the teapot and said, "I just went in and am talking now. It's still early."

Inside the room, Lu Yun covered her face with a handkerchief and said fiercely, "Zhou Boli, stop looking!"

Zhou Boli pretended to raise his sleeve to cover his face. "Okay, okay, I won't look anymore. Put down the handkerchief."

Just as Lu Yun put it down, she saw him lower his sleeves as well. His eyes were much softer than before, and his voice was filled with admiration. "Ayun, you look really beautiful today."

"You're not the one to tell me that." Lu Yun accepted the compliment without hesitation and returned the compliment with courtesy, "You're not bad today either." Her face was as pretty as a jade, her body was as strong as a pine tree, and the smile on her lips made one feel like basking in the spring breeze.

When the matchmaker saw him just now, her mouth was almost crooked with smile. The older she gets, the more she likes young and handsome boys.

Zhou Boli sat aside, his eyes serious. "Ayun, I asked the doctor, it's not good for a woman to give birth when she's too young. How about you wait until you're sixteen and give birth to two children for me, a boy and a girl?"

Lu Yun's face turned red. I appreciate your thoughtfulness, but why do you ask outsiders about everything?

But the man was still muttering to himself, "The boy should be named Ming Yan, daring to compete with the sun and the moon for brilliance. The girl should be named Ming Xuan, as warm and bright as the sun."

Lu Yun could sense the man's ambition. "Do you still want it?"

Zhou Boli held her wrist, his eyebrows slightly raised. "Ayun, if the child is willing to do this, then he can do it. If he doesn't want to, then forget it."
