Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

On the morning of the second day, before the sky in the east turned pale, the entire city of Chang'an seemed to be shrouded in a festive red.

Whether it is the magnificent East Palace, the solemn and dignified Yunnan Prince's Palace, or the magnificent Guangping Prince's Palace, all of them are decorated with lights and filled with a festive and lively atmosphere.

Everyone in the mansion got up early and started working. While most people still had some time to rest, two people were unable to enjoy this leisurely pace. Indeed, they were the two protagonists of this grand wedding—Li Chu and Dugu Jingyao.

Although it was still dark and the dawn had not yet penetrated the clouds, the two were already gently awakened by the attendants. Fortunately, they were accustomed to getting up early, so they did not feel too sleepy or uncomfortable and woke up quickly.

Among them was Liu Jingyue, a woman known for her difficulty getting out of bed. On weekdays, she would lie in bed, unwilling to move, and would only reluctantly open her eyes after being urged repeatedly.

But last night, because she slept on the same bed with Dugu Jingyao, and thought that today was the wedding day of the couple she supported, she could not suppress her excitement. She might even be happier than when she got married herself, so she hardly slept the whole night.

So, when Shi Jian and Si Jian came to call Dugu Jingyao to her feet, something unexpected happened. Liu Jingyue, like a nimble rabbit, instantly sprang up from the bed, even faster than Dugu Jingyao. This sudden action not only left Shi Jian and Si Jian dumbfounded, but even Zhishu and Shili, Liu Jingyue's longtime attendants, were left speechless with astonishment.

After a long while, Zhishu and Shili came back to their senses as if awakened from a dream. After looking at each other, they sighed in unison: "After all, the deterrent power of the eldest princess is strong enough to make our princess get up so happily early!" Their words showed admiration for Dugu Jingyao's influence, as well as surprise and amusement at Liu Jingyue's performance.

Liu Jingyue was in an exceptionally good mood today. Facing the surprised looks on everyone's faces, she simply smiled and said nonchalantly, "I just woke up early this time, and look how surprised you are. Okay, don't just stand there in a daze. The most important thing is to help your sister bathe and change clothes!"

After hearing this, the maids finally came to their senses and hurriedly resumed their work. When Dugu Jingyao finished her bath, she looked at Liu Jingyue and couldn't help but teasing her, "Look at you! From now on, you should stay in bed less. Look, even these maids who serve you are surprised that you got up early today!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jingyue raised her eyebrows mischievously and responded coquettishly: "Hmph, if you say so, then I don't have to get up early. Anyway, they have long been accustomed to me staying in bed every day." After saying that, she did not forget to make a playful and cute face at Dugu Jingyao.

Seeing this, Dugu Jingyao shook her head helplessly, stretched out her finger and gently tapped Liu Jingyue on the forehead, feigning anger and saying, "You girl, you only know how to come up with these twisted theories. Apart from anything else, I told you to go to bed and get up early, and that was all for your own health."

Seeing Dugu Jingyao caring about her so much, Liu Jingyue felt warm in her heart. She stopped trying to argue and nodded obediently, "Okay, okay, since it's so kind of you, sister, I will try to get up earlier in the future."

Seeing that Liu Jingyue had finally agreed, Dugu Jingyao smiled with satisfaction. She then turned around and began to change into her gorgeous red wedding dress, preparing for the important moment that was about to come.

Apart from anything else, in Liu Jingyue's heart, Dugu Jingyao looked best in red. At least that's what she thought when she saw her in the TV series. Now she saw that it was indeed true.

Especially since this wedding dress was meticulously prepared by the Palace's Clothing Bureau, its materials and workmanship are truly unique, and it looks truly extraordinary on Dugu Jingyao! Later, I'll help my sister put on a makeup look that's perfect for this dress and this moment, which will be the icing on the cake!

So she walked forward, circled around Dugu Jingyao, and said, "The clothes made by the Clothing Bureau are really good. The bright red color makes your skin look even more beautiful than snow, and it makes you look even more radiant!"

Dugu Jingyao covered her lips and smiled, "Your little mouth looks like it's covered with honey."

Liu Jingyue smiled and said, "Not only do I have sweet words, but my craftsmanship is the finishing touch." After that, she took Dugu Jingyao's hand and slowly walked towards the dressing table.

After Dugu Jingyao sat down, Liu Jingyue began a series of operations. Today was Dugu Jingyao's wedding, so Liu Jingyue put in a lot of effort. It took more than half an hour to finish. If it weren't for the bridesmaid urging her, Liu Jingyue would not have stopped!

The bridesmaid said, "Oh, Your Highness, you must hurry up, or His Highness Prince Guangping will be here soon! Our eldest princess is now as beautiful as a fairy. I guess everyone can't take their eyes off her. There's no need to continue painting."

Liu Jingyue disagreed and said, "I only have one sister, and I have a skill that can make her the most beautiful bride. The more beautiful the better!"

Dugu Jingyao didn't know if it was because her family was all there in this life, with someone to send her off to get married and her sister to put on makeup for her, that she was suddenly touched and her eyes instantly turned red.

Liu Jingyue comforted her, "Sister, today is your big day, don't cry! Besides, I worked so hard to put on your makeup, don't let it go to waste!"

Hearing Liu Jingyue's tone, Dugu Jingyao burst into laughter and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to Yue'er. Sister will never let your efforts go to waste!"

After calming down, the bridesmaid urged, "Miss Shijian, Miss Sijian, quickly help the princess put on her hair ornaments, earrings, and other accessories! It's almost time for the ancestor worship, and if we don't hurry, we'll miss it!"

Shi Jian and Si Jian glanced at each other and readily agreed. Liu Jingyue, who had finished applying makeup for Dugu Jingyao, took the opportunity to get dressed. After all, she was just a child, so she just dressed up casually and looked festive.

Dugu Jingyao was almost done dressing up and was about to carry out the ancestor worship ceremony.

The matchmaker led Dugu Jingyao to the so-called ancestral hall (because the Dugu family's own ancestral hall was in Yunnan, and this one was just a temporary building).

Dugu Xin was very pleased to see his beautifully dressed daughter. The bridesmaid handed Dugu Jingyao's hand to Dugu Xin, who took her hand. Dugu Jingyao's eyes were a little moist, but she remembered what Liu Jingyue had just said: don't cry on such a happy day, don't waste her hard work. Dugu Jingyao raised her head and held back the tears that were about to burst out.

The ancestor worship ceremony began. During the ceremony, Dugu Jingyao offered sacrifices to the ancestors and prayed for their protection and blessings. After the ceremony, Dugu Jingyao was taken back to the courtyard by the bridesmaid to wait for the arrival of the new Li Chu and start her wedding journey.

At this moment, Shen Zhenzhu and Murong Linzhi came together. When they saw Dugu Jingyao today, they couldn't take their eyes off her.

In addition to the gorgeous and exquisitely crafted wedding dress, Dugu Jingyao's makeup also complemented the dress. Shen Zhenzhu couldn't help but sigh once again: "Wow, Jingyao, you are even more beautiful today!"

Murong Linzhi also nodded in agreement and said, "Jingyao today is like a fairy from heaven!"

Dugu Jingyao was successfully amused by the two. She covered her lips and laughed, "You two, you only say nice things."

Murong Linzhi shook his head and said, "You are wrong. We are telling the truth."

Shen Zhenzhu also said: "Isn't it? I envy you so much, marrying the person you love and who loves you, and having such a grand wedding. I wish I could have half of you in the future!"

At this time, Liu Jingyue also came into the house and said, "Sister Zhenzhu, my sister and brother-in-law are going hand in hand! But I think you will be able to marry a man of your dreams in the future!" After saying that, she glanced at Dugu Moyan behind her.

Dugu Moyan also looked at Shen Zhenzhu meaningfully. Shen Zhenzhu blushed a little and said shyly, "Then I'll borrow Sister Yue'er's good wishes." Seeing this, the others all laughed.

Then Shen Zhenzhu and Murong Linzhi added makeup to Dugu Jingyao. Seeing that Dugu Moyan seemed to have something to say to Dugu Jingyao, they went out first.

Next, Dugu Moyan and Liu Jingyue told Dugu Jingyao that although our family is small, they will do their best to prevent Li Chu from marrying Dugu Jingyao easily. They also said that if Li Chu really bullies Dugu Jingyao in the future, Dugu Jingyao can send a message to her family and they will rush to support her as quickly as possible.

Dugu Jingyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard this, but a warm feeling still came to her heart. She said, "Then I would like to thank my brother and sister here first!"

Dugu Moyan said, "We're family, so we shouldn't have different opinions. I guess someone will come soon, so I'll go to the front yard first. Yue'er, you should come out earlier too, so we can stop Li Chu together!"

Liu Jingyue nodded and said, "Okay! I have to ask my brother-in-law to pay more money!" Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but laugh.

Sure enough, after a while, Mrs. Guo and the lady who wanted to curry favor with her at the previous banquet, as well as Zheng Wan and her mother came to add makeup, and all of them were amazed by Dugu Jingyao's wedding dress and makeup today.

Dugu Jingyao happily accepted their dowries and exchanged greetings with them, especially Zheng Wan's mother, because her daughter would be making a living under Dugu Jingyao in the future, so it would be better to make some arrangements in advance.

As Zheng Wan had helped her before, Dugu Jingyao had no animosity towards her, so she readily agreed and promised to do her best to protect her daughter. As long as her daughter was willing to behave herself, she would get what she deserved.

Mother Zheng understood what Dugu Jingyao meant and thanked her profusely, saying, "Wan'er will follow the princess's lead."

After Madam Zheng and Zheng Wan left, it was almost time, so Dugu Jingyao waited for Li Chu's arrival with peace of mind.
