The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 691: Awaiting Marriage
At this time, it was still deep night.
Jiang Zhongxing returned home, washed up, and fell asleep immediately.
Tomorrow he still had to accept the bows from the newcomers, so he had to quickly rejuvenate to look radiant during the wedding celebration.
The sky gradually brightened.
Yun Jiao slept particularly deeply that night.
With the removal of the major threat, Yan Beichen, she was finally able to sleep peacefully.
Gu Yuheng woke up early, saw his daughter still asleep, and couldn’t bear to wake her.
He always felt that once his daughter got married, she would have to serve her parents-in-law and manage household affairs, not as carefree as when she was unmarried.
Yun Jiao slept until the hour of the dragon before getting up, and the hairdresser and wedding maid had arrived earlier.
The two sat in the Gu Family’s hall drinking tea; they had never seen such a leisurely bride.
Yun Jiao got up and took a bath first.
She sprinkled some osmanthus perfume into the tub; the faint sweetness of osmanthus perfume seemed fitting for a day like today, as one should celebrate sweetly.
Cai Ping and Hui Xiang assisted her, lighting a scent basket to dry her hair, nearly dry, over the fragrant fire.
The hairdresser then came to dress her hair and apply makeup.
First, she used cotton threads to open her face; Yun Jiao’s skin already fair and delicate, now even more resembled a freshly peeled egg.
The hairdresser was extremely careful with makeup, fearful of causing any redness to her soft skin.
Once the makeup was done, she began dressing her hair.
Yun Jiao’s hair, nurtured over the past two years, was thick, black, and shiny.
The hairdresser used wood oil to comb her hair into a peony bun with adept hands; once the hair was done, the wedding maid helped Yun Jiao change into the wedding dress.
The hairdresser was ready to help Yun Jiao put on the golden crown, but Yun Jiao hurriedly said, "There’s no rush; we can wear it once the bridal party arrives." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
The golden phoenix crown looked heavy, and she pitied her neck.
By this time, it was already after noon (1 p.m.).
The maids in the room started to panic; the Gu Family had a set time for sending off the bride, and with the bridal escort expected around 4 p.m., careful calculations were needed.
Yet Yun Jiao appeared not rushed; there was enough time, so she directed Hui Xiang, "Go to the kitchen and make me a bowl of shredded chicken noodles."
The wedding maid hurriedly said, "Miss, it’s better to have some pastries; don’t dirty the wedding dress."
Yun Jiao waved her hand, "No worries, just cover it with a cloth."
Lunch should be salty and oily, served on high tables and low stools; pastries won’t fill the emptiness.
Hui Xiang hastily rushed to the kitchen, instructing the cook to prepare the noodles.
Gu Yuheng heard this and rolled up his sleeves and entered the kitchen, "I’ll do it."
The Gu Family, without relatives or acquaintances in the Capital City and no male guests, had only the few young friends Yun Jiao had made since arriving in the city, so Gu Yuheng wasn’t concerned about being judged.
Soon, a bowl of steaming shredded chicken noodles was ready.
Gu Yuheng sent Xiao Chuan to bring it in.
Yun Jiao sat at the table, with a large cloth wrapped around her neck, eating noodles leisurely.
After finishing the noodles, Yun Jiao rinsed her mouth with fragrant tea, and the hairdresser came to refresh her lipstick.
Chu Danning and several young friends came in, warmly offering congratulations.
Yun Jiao smiled in response, and Chu Danning suddenly saw Xiao Chuan standing there tearfully, covering her mouth in a laugh, "Oh, little brother Xiao Chuan can’t bear to see his sister get married, can he?"
The girls laughed together.
Xiao Chuan’s reluctance was teased into embarrassment, his face flushed as he bowed his head.
