~ FINISHING TOUCH ~
Before coming to the Min family, Mu Yunyao had heard from others that the Min family paid attention to the rules to the core and that Old Madam Chu was recognized as a family with complete rules and valuable moral character. When she was in the Su family, Old Madam Chu was invited as the guest of honor at her and Su You’s coming-of-age ceremony.
Arriving at the Min family home and seeing the scene in Min Fanghua’s room, she couldn’t help but be slightly stunned.
Elder Min didn’t have the slightest smile on his face. His expression was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were filled with reluctance. Old Madam Chu was trying to persuade him when she saw Mu Yunyao and hurried over to pay her respects.
“Greetings, Princess.”
“Old Madam, there is no need to be so courteous. I come to see if Sister Min is ready.”
Min Fanghua stood up, her red wedding dress slowly opening. Along with her movements, the phoenix on the hem of her skirt slightly swayed, as if it would break away from her dress in the next moment, flapping its wings and flying out, “Yunyao, you’re here, hurry and help me take a look, if there’s anything wrong with it.” Old Madam Chu’s voice persuading Elder Min could be heard from the side. Mu Yunyao heard it for a while, but it was all about her granddaughters getting married and having a celebration. No matter how reluctant he was, he still had to laugh. Min Fanghua’s parents and sisters were also on his side, persuading him. Although they said they would relax, their expressions were the same as the Min family elder. It was filled with reluctance.
Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh in her heart. Family harmony is always prosperous, the elders are kind, and the juniors are benevolent and filial. No wonder they could bring up a woman with a gentle and dignified temperament like Min Fanghua.
“Since Elder Sister Min asked, I’ll say a few bold words. If I’m wrong, then don’t mind me!”
“Of course, hurry up and say it.”
Mu Yunyao looked at the rouge on the table as she spoke and personally helped Min Fanghua put on her makeup after coming forward to wash her hands. “Elder Sister is the bride today, and the bride will naturally be festive. Elder Sister’s appearance was dignified and gentle. Naturally, her looks were impeccable. However, your wedding dress was too red and gorgeous. It perfectly contrasts with Elder Sister’s makeup, which is a bit lighter now.”
Mu Yunyao didn’t change the makeup much. She only changed the color of Min Fanghua’s lips, then redrawn her eyebrows and eyes, instantly changing her overall temperament. If it was said that Min Fanghua looked generous and dignified before, she looked a bit more noble and arrogant now, making people not dare to look straight at her.
Xi Mama and the other maids standing to the side praised her repeatedly.
However, Mu Yunyao wasn’t satisfied. After looking at it for a while, she took an idle pearl hairpin, lightly picked out a little vermilion rouge, tapped it lightly on the center of Min Fanghua’s eyebrows, and then nodded in satisfaction. “That’s it. Then, there won’t be any problems again.”
After witnessing it, Old Madam Chu stroked her hands and said, “This is the finishing touch. Thank you for your brilliant hands, Princess.” The maid who helped Min Fanghua put on makeup was very skilled, but the clothes Mu Yunyao had made were too outstanding, so the clothes suppressed Min Fanghua’s aura. After Mu Yunyao had changed her makeup, the aura rose, but it was also too domineering and sharp. Fanghua is going to be the bride! Of course, she had to take care of Yu Wang’s feelings. The cinnabar at the center of her brows cracked the sharpness on her body, and when she lowered her head to smile, there was an indescribable sense of shyness and soul-stirring.
“Thank you for your praise.” Mu Yunyao just smiled and didn’t say much.
Outside, a mama came to report, “Old Master, Old Mistress... The auspicious hour has arrived, the bridal carriage has arrived at the front of the mansion, and so has His Royal Highness Yu Wang.”
Hearing that Yu Wang had personally come to fetch the bride, Min Fanghua pursed her lips and smiled while the others’ faces showed a hint of joy. They quickly helped Min Fanghua cover her head and let her elder brother carry her out of the mansion.
Mu Yunyao didn’t keep following them. After sending Min Fanghua to the bridal sedan, she responded to the Min family’s thanks and then rode the horse carriage back to the Palace.
The wedding ceremony will be held in Mingguang Hall. Mu Yunyao came a bit faster. The Emperor and Grand Princess Yi hadn’t arrived by the time she arrived. Just as she found a good seat, Yue Wang walked over and sat beside her without hesitation: “Yao’er, are you tired?” Mu Yunyao was not an unreasonable person. Since she had already decided to stay with Yue Wang, there was no need to avoid others constantly, so she didn’t pay attention to her surroundings. She nodded and replied, “Not bad. I painted Elder Sister Min’s makeup today. I must ask Yu Wang for a big red envelope.”
“The Second Imperial Brother has a strong family background and a lot of money, so there’s no need to be polite when asking for it.”
Mu Yunyao suddenly felt an extremely piercing gaze directed at her. She glanced at it and retracted her gaze. “That’s right. As the younger brother of His Royal Highness, why didn’t you accompany him to escort the bride?”
“I wanted to go, but the Second Imperial Brother stopped me.” The two couldn’t help but get closer to each other to prevent others from hearing their words.
Ling Wang’s eyes narrowed, and there was a flicker of contempt in his indignant eyes. Other officials who noticed this scene quietly glanced away. They had heard about the matter between His Royal Highness Yue Wang and Princess Wenxian, but the Emperor’s attitude was unclear, and no one dared be the rafter of this young man. Who would have thought that they would be so unrestrained today? It seems that some people will soon lose their composure.
The imperial edict rang out just as everyone was lost in their thoughts. “The Emperor has arrived. Grand Princess Yi De has arrived.”
The crowd hurriedly bowed. As soon as the ceremony was over, Yu Wang’s bridal sedan arrived at the entrance of Mingguang Hall.
The festive red carpet of prosperity and wealth spread from the entrance of the Mingguang Hall to the Palace gate. When Yu Wang brought Min Fanghua out, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
She was covered with a red veil, and her appearance could not be seen clearly, but her figure was already fascinating. Min Fanghua’s wedding dress was different from other princesses and concubines. The hem of the dress was lengthened, except for the phoenix flapping its wings and about to fly. The dress’s edge is embroidered with a Baizi Baifu pattern and locked with gold thread. The tangled branches and connected flowers are enchanting and extend to the satin embroidered waistband. The waistband of the wedding dress is also wider than usual. Her waist is tied tightly and combined with double layers of Guangling long sleeves, making it look extremely beautiful and unparalleled worldwide.
Yu Wang tried to keep himself serious, but his smile could not be retracted. Ultimately, he gave up and laughed until he showed his white teeth, revealing joy all over his body. The ceremony of the prince’s marriage is not complicated. After paying his respects to the Emperor and Grand Princess Yi De, he kowtowed to Imperial Concubine Qi, and the ceremony was officially completed. Next, the servants read a series of gifts, and it took them nearly two hours to finish reading the rewards. After that, Min Fanghua was sent to the new room at the back of the hall to wait while Yu Wang began to toast at the banquet.
When Yu Wang heard about the rich rewards, his complexion became unsightly. He then discovered that the Emperor and Grand Princess Yi De had no intention of leaving the banquet after receiving the toasts from Yu Wang. The look in their eyes became even gloomier. When Mu Yunyao saw this scene, her brows lightly moved. A storm was brewing, and the wind blew all over the building. It was likely that there would be a tough battle between Ling Wang and Yu Wang!
