Chapter 1668 Everyone Comes to Add to the Makeup
Lu Zhaoling's wedding dress was a very true, intense red.
When Lu Zhaoling first discovered Cui Liyue's wedding dress in a secret room in an abandoned house in the alley, she thought that she could wear that dress when she got married.
That wedding dress was made with unique embroidery techniques specific to Nanzhao, making it both special and beautiful.
However, after the wedding preparations were actually underway, Granny Qing came to discuss some matters with Rong Jingjing and offered a suggestion.
Granny Qing felt that although many things can be passed down, and Cui Liyue's wedding dress was indeed beautiful and special enough, a marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and everyone deserves to be unique.
At this point, it's not necessarily about passing it down.
Furthermore, they couldn't be sure whether Cui Liyue had worn that wedding dress back then, or when she wore it.
They knew that the person in Cui Liyue's heart, and Lu Zhaoling's biological father, was Lu Ming.
So, when did Cui Liyue wear that wedding dress?
If she wore it on the day she married Lu Ming, the marriage would be somewhat unlucky.
That might not be what Cui Liyue wants.
If that wedding dress was never worn, but was prepared by Cui Liyue for marrying Lu Ming, then it embodies her sincere feelings and deep affection for Lu Ming.
Regardless, it wasn't a good look for Lu Zhaoling to wear it.
Of course, Granny Qing didn't know that much, and she didn't say much, only offering a suggestion.
Later, Rong Jingjing had a detailed discussion with Lu Zhaoling herself.
Lu Zhaoling agreed after hearing it.
She turned back to Zhou Shiyue and told him that she needed to prepare a different wedding dress, and Zhou Shiyue visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
He also told her that he had actually asked Granny Qing to prepare for it a long time ago, but he listened to her and she could wear whatever she wanted.
But Lu Zhaoling really wanted to wear the re-sewn one, so Zhou Shiyue was still very happy.
His thought was that Lu Zhaoling had never met Cui Liyue and Lu Ming. Although they were her biological parents, her wedding dress would not bear any of their blessings for her; instead, it would be tied to their own past and affections.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Lu Zhaoling recalled what Zhou Shiyue had said to her back then—
I hope that the wedding dress you wear on your wedding day, every stitch of which is carefully sewn, is a blessing for you.
Not someone else.
After hearing Zhou Shiyue's words, Lu Zhaoling felt no regret whatsoever about not being able to wear her mother's wedding dress.
The wedding dress she is wearing now was made by Granny Qing and the embroiderers of the Prince's Mansion over a period of two years.
Why two years?
Before they set off for the southwest, Zhou Shiyue had already instructed Granny Qing to begin preparations, but he didn't tell Lu Zhaoling.
Moreover, even after they had been gone for six months, Granny Qing thought they would be back soon, and she even rushed to finish the work for a while.
So now this wedding dress is very beautiful, with gold thread embroidery, and some pearls and gemstones, making it shimmer and sparkle. It shines brightly under the candlelight, red, gold, and gleaming.
Even Lu Zhaoling felt that she looked very cheerful.
With such a precious and beautiful wedding dress, Lu Zhaoling felt it would be difficult for Zhou Shiyue not to be amazed tomorrow.
Such a beautiful costume would probably enhance the appearance of any girl by ten points.
"Weren't you stunned by your own sight?"
At this moment, Rong Jingjing walked in, holding a red gold hairpin inlaid with gemstones.
She stood behind Lu Zhaoling, also looking at the image in the bronze mirror, her eyes slightly red.
"Senior Sister, let me add a little something to your makeup." After saying that, Rong Jingjing gently inserted the gold hairpin in her hand into Lu Zhaoling's hair. She had been preparing this gold hairpin for a long time.
"Our senior sister is so beautiful! She's the most beautiful bride in the world." Rong Jingjing gently placed her hands on Lu Zhaoling's shoulders, feeling a mix of emotions. She was definitely very happy to finally see her senior sister get married.
Rong Jingjing added, "I trust Senior Sister's judgment, and Senior Brother and Master have also carefully observed Prince Jin. He should be someone I can entrust my life to. Senior Sister, you must be happy in the future."
Lu Zhaoling smiled at Rong Jingjing in the mirror.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be happy."
"If he dares to make me unhappy, I'll blast him to the sky with a talisman."
Rong Jingjing chuckled and said, "Quickly, spit it out! There won't be such a day. The prince will definitely treat you very well."
At this moment, Lin Yanran and Sun Yingying also came over, each holding a small wooden box. The girls smiled and said to Lu Zhaolin, "Sister Zhaoling, we've come to add to your makeup too."
Following behind were Jiang Yongmiao and Sheng Xiaohan.
They also prepared their own gifts, as the bride's best friends to help with her dowry, while the family's wedding gifts were a separate matter.
Looking at the smiling girls holding these things in the room, Lu Zhaoling felt cheerful as well.
She never expected to have so many good friends around her on her wedding day. When she first transmigrated, she thought she would be very lonely, since none of her junior sisters and brothers came with her.
"By the way, Sister Zhaoling, Xiaoqing originally wanted to come too, but she was worried that she wouldn't be able to help and would only cause trouble at this time, so she asked me to bring her dowry over as well."
Sun Yingying then presented another gift.
She was able to come to Huaiyuan at this time because her elder brother had a good relationship with Prince Jin and Miss Lu, and her mother had also met Lu Zhaoling a few times, so the two sides were quite familiar with each other.
However, Gu Qing's parents were not familiar with Lu Zhaoling, so they felt that it was inconvenient for so many people to come to Huaiyuan. Otherwise, Gu Qing would have liked to come too.
Lu Zhaoling accepted the gift and said to Sun Yingying, "I will thank her in person when I see her tomorrow."
Gu Qing will also be coming to the wedding banquet tomorrow.
Jiang Yongmiao said, "Tomorrow will definitely be very lively, right?"
"Of course," Sun Yingying nodded. It's estimated that all the officials and civil servants will come to offer their congratulations on the Prince of Jin's wedding.
“We’ll all stay here at Huaiyuan to drink. Yingying, tell us all about the excitement at the Prince’s Mansion later.”
Sun Yingying nodded vigorously, "No problem!"
“Alright, stop crowding around Miss Lu,” Madam Lin said as she walked over. “Is the bridal veil here? I saw Xiao Liu standing guard at the door, waiting for the wedding procession. Let’s give Miss Lu another good look.”
There is nothing that is imperfect.
She had previously considered applying extra layers of powder and rouge to Lu Zhaoling, but Lu Zhaoling refused.
Now that it was a little brighter, she looked at Lu Zhaoling again. Her features were exquisite, and her face was as rosy as the sunset, fresh and bright. She really didn't need to use any more rouge.
Wow, it's stunningly beautiful.
