    The cold-faced prince is in need of love (10)

    After calculations by the Ministry of Etiquette and the Qintian Supervisor, they finally decided on the time of the wedding, which was set on the eighth day of May two months later.After the time was set, the Ministry of Rites, the Sixth Prince’s Mansion and the Prime Minister’s Mansion were all busy preparing for the wedding.Trying on dresses, learning etiquette, and preparing dowry, Leng Xiyan was very busy.

    Finally, the wedding day came.Early that morning, Leng Xiyan was dug out of her bed, washed and dressed, and even had something to eat, because the bride couldn’t eat all day.

    Then comes the makeup.Leng Xiyan sat in front of the dressing table, closing her eyes and letting a nun open her face.I saw the nun holding a thread and running it around on her face to remove the fuzz. It is said that her skin will become smooth in this way.Leng Xiyan endured the sting on her face and got it done in a short while.

    She opened her eyes and looked in the bronze mirror. Sure enough, her skin was much smoother, like an egg that had been peeled.Then there’s the makeup.A group of maids took rouge and gouache and smeared it on her face. I don’t know how many layers they applied. Leng Xiyan endured the poison of these powders, and finally she was done. After applying lipstick, she let out a long sigh of relief.

    Then it’s time to comb your hair.The one who combed her hair was Grandma Quanfu, the most famous woman in the capital. She was seen combing her hair while muttering: “One comb to the end, two combs to make the white hair reach the eyebrows, three combs to fill the house with children and grandchildren.”

    After combing your hair, you have to put on your wedding dress.Chunmei and Xiahe helped her put on the exquisite and complicated wedding dress, and finally put on the phoenix crown and harem, and it was done.

    Leng Xiyan stood in front of everyone, looking at her, and the people around her unconsciously let out gasps: her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes were like autumn water, her face was like gelatin, her eyebrows were raised, her smile was charming, and her heavy makeup not only did not damage her beauty, but made her skin look better than snow.The fiery red wedding dress was worn on her body, highlighting her graceful figure.She just stood like that, making everything around her lose color.It’s true that “looking back, you can smile with all your beauty, and the pink and white in the Sixth Palace have no color.”

    It took a long time for the people around to come to their senses. Xiniang said with a smile: “Young lady is really the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. The Sixth Prince is so lucky.”

    Lin Yuwei looked at Leng Xiyan dressed up and had mixed feelings in her heart. She choked slightly and said, “My mother’s face has grown up and she is going to get married.”

    Leng Xiyan’s eyes couldn’t help but moisten slightly, and she said to Lin Yuwei coquettishly: “Mom, after we get married, I will still be your daughter. I will come back to see you often.”

    Lin Yuwei gave her an angry look and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? How can you come back often after getting married?”

    Leng Xiyan said again: “I don’t care, I just want to come back. Can mother still drive me away?”

    Seeing Leng Xiyan playing tricks, Lin Yuwei’s sadness was washed away a lot.At this time, the wedding team arrived at the Prime Minister’s Mansion.Leng Xiyan covered her face with a handkerchief and was helped out of the room by Xi Niang.Leng Haoxuan is waiting for him outside the door.Seeing Leng Xiyan, he squatted down in front of her and said, “Sister, big brother will carry you.” Leng Xiyan climbed onto Leng Haoxuan’s back, and was carried steadily to the gate by her eldest brother.

    Outside the gate, Prime Minister Leng Ce was standing there, and Bei Yelin and the wedding team were also waiting there.I saw that he was wearing a bright red groom’s dress today, which made him look tall and handsome.Leng Ce came to Leng Xiyan and said to her: “Yanyan, being married is not as good as being at home. You have to take good care of yourself.”

    “I will, dad, you have to take care of yourself too.” Leng Xiyan replied.

    Leng Ce came to Bei Yelin again and said to him respectfully: “Sixth Prince, I don’t have any wishes. I just ask that you treat my daughter well.”

    Bei Yelin nodded and said to him: “Don’t worry, father-in-law, my son-in-law will do it.”

    Leng Xiyan said goodbye to her parents outside the gate, was supported by Xiniang into the sedan chair, and followed the welcoming procession as they staggered to the Sixth Prince’s Mansion.From now on, her life will begin a new journey.

    Finally arriving at the Sixth Prince’s Mansion, Leng Xiyan was helped out of the sedan chair by Xi Niang, stepped over the brazier, and was supported all the way into the hall. Instead of Xiniang’s hand, she held a piece of red silk. On the other side of the red silk was Bei Yelin, who would be her future support.The officiants are the emperor and the queen.Then, the officiant announced the start of the wedding:

    “First bow to the heaven and earth, second bow to the high hall, the husband and wife bow to each other, the ceremony is completed, and they are sent to the bridal chamber.” Leng Xiyan was sent to the new house, while Bei Yelin entertained the guests in the front hall.
