"My father-in-law and several high-ranking officials came, but the governor didn't come." Chunhe tied a peony with rice beads and golden silk on her hair for her.
Ming Lanruo lowered her bright eyes, helplessness flashed across her pretty face, and she murmured in a low voice: "It would be good if he doesn't come."
She also didn't want him to come and see her getting married.
Although this was a false political marriage, she was already his wife in name - he was the son of Concubine Mei and the legendary 'King of Mourning'.
But as his princess, she "remarried". How could he endure such a proud person?
Chunming hesitated for a moment, then turned around and brought a gorgeous red sandalwood box: "Eunuch Qi sent this to me early this morning. He said it was for the eldest lady to add to her makeup."
Ming Lanruo felt inexplicably sour in her heart when she looked at the red sandalwood box inlaid with mother-of-pearl red emeralds.
His wife wanted to "remarry", but he had to give her a gift in front of others as a righteous brother-in-law, so that people would know that she was protected by his righteous uncle and not to be looked down upon.
She raised her hand and stroked the box gently, and asked softly: "Where is Xiaoxi? Have you sent him to Dongchang?"
Chunming nodded: "The young master has been taken to the East Factory by Eunuch Qi according to the eldest lady's instructions. Jinghe will follow him and take care of him. Don't worry."
Ming Lanruo sighed softly: "That's good."
She actually expected that he would not come, but would definitely bring gifts, so she told him that if someone from Dongchang brought something, she would send Xiaoxi to Dongchang.
Let the little devil stay with the big devil for a few days. He has a child to look after and accompany, and he won't put so much thought into her and won't suffer so much.
I wonder what he gave her to add makeup...
She reached out and gently opened the expensive box, then froze.
There are three steps in the box, one is an emerald lotus with excellent water quality, one is a southern pearl phoenix, and the other is a palace fan wrapped with red gold and ruby silk.
Each one is exquisite, valuable and meticulously crafted.
The shaft of each step-shaped hairpin is exactly the same as the one she dropped in Dongchang that day - the hairpin body is half a finger thick and has uneven decorative patterns carved on it.
There is also a delicate thumb-knuckle-sized pearl nut on the sharp tail of Bu Wag.
This large and round pearl nut will be fastened to the sharp tail of Bu Ya after it is inserted into the bun.
It is not only a gorgeous and dazzling decoration, but also prevents the heavy step from slipping off easily or stabbing the ladies and ladies wearing the step.
Ming Lanruo was really impressed by the rocking structure with huge pearls on the tip of the rod...
She took a breath, well, he gave her these steps just to add makeup to her, and not for any other purpose.
Isn't he sad and tormented by her marriage?
How could it be possible to imply something "without any care"!
Chunming's sharp eyes found a light green bookmark under a box of priceless buds. She picked it up and said, "Miss, here is a souvenir from the governor!"
Ming Lanruo instinctively grabbed it with her hands, fearing that Chunming would see what was written on it.
She opened it and saw a line of small characters with dragons and phoenixes dancing on it——
"I will give you three newly made lanterns to repay the palace lantern Bu Yao that Concubine Ming left on my throne. I hope that Concubine Ming will still remember how to use the lanterns."
It’s straightforward, almost unscrupulous and carries a hint of warning!
He was warning her not to let Shangguan Hongye do anything intimate!
Otherwise, he would ask her to recall how Bu Yao was "used"!
Ming Lanruo squeezed the entire bookmark in her palm with a snap. Her little face turned green at first, and then turned crimson, so red it was almost bleeding!
Cang Qiao, this bastard bastard!
She actually felt sad for him, who knew that all he could think about was either warning her or teasing and tempting her!
Chunming looked at her worriedly: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Ming Lanruo took a deep breath and closed the box unceremoniously: "Take this box to the warehouse. Don't let me see such shameless and obscene things again! Sell them later!"
Chunming was extremely puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with Bu Yao?"
Why is it so shameless to sell a box of priceless jewelry that is so exquisitely crafted and expensive?
"Furthermore, Master Qiansui said that this is his wish. You must choose one when you get married today, otherwise he will personally come and dress you up." Chunming added cautiously.
Ming Lanruo froze, he was going to do her..."dressing"?!
No, the big devil will never come just to do her makeup. Dongchang sent several people including his father-in-law to watch the ceremony today.
If she doesn't wear this step later, I'm afraid that the big devil will come and cause trouble for her tonight!
Moreover, the wedding dress and hijab prepared by the palace for her was made of red gauze embroidered with peonies. It was translucent, so you could see whether she was wearing it or not!
She took a deep breath, endured it, and glanced at San Zhi Bu Yao: "Just the ruby palace fan."
Chunming smiled, took the step wave, and inserted it into Ming Lanruo's bun: "This step wave is really exquisite. The poles are made of red gold with phoenix patterns. The southern pearl on the tip is so big that it is not inferior to the previous ones.
The palace lantern you lost, Miss Second, is a lantern!"
The palace lantern from last time was the most beautiful and valuable one in the young lady’s trousseau. The South Pearl Button, which is as big as a man’s thumb, is a treasure. The young lady took it out of the storeroom to wear it specially to welcome Chitose Master out of seclusion.
It's a pity that it was lost somewhere on the way to Dongchang on horseback. It's a pity.
Ming Lanruo couldn't laugh at all. Watching Chunming slide the huge Nanzhu into her and buckle it, she felt ashamed and annoyed and clenched her sleeves.
I scolded Cang Qiao's eighteen generations of ancestors a hundred times in my heart.
The walking stick fell into his hand, and he refused to return it to her, saying it was a commemoration of the first meal! After he used it on her... he didn't even bother to wash it and put it away!
What a shameless lunatic!
Now I actually follow that thing and hit three shafts with exactly the same swing!
Chunming saw that his young lady had a cold, crimson face and looked extremely sulky. Although some Zhang Er monks were confused, they still wisely decided to change the topic——
"Miss, the eldest daughter of the Xu family and the second daughter of the Mo family are outside the courtyard. Why don't you ask them to come in and stay with you?"
The eldest lady told the emperor that the matter of King Qin marrying an equal wife was not something that should be done in such a grand manner, and that he could just invite some ladies from acquaintances to come. His Majesty was very satisfied with the lady's knowledge and taste, and agreed.
But Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Mo must have received the instructions from the Minister of Dali Temple and the Imperial Censor, Prime Minister Mo. Except for the adults, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Mo were not present this time, along with the ladies and ladies who were friends with them.
.
And there were many gifts given.
Although it was not as good as the Qin Prince's marriage to Zhou Changle, who laid out a whole courtyard of banquets and ate on flowing water banquets for three days.
But Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Mo and others filled the rather spacious main hall of Concubine Ming's Mansion, like a wedding banquet.
Xu Xiuyi and Mo Feiyan placed gifts and went directly to see the bride.
Hearing this, Ming Lanruo finally showed a smile: "Call them in."
After a while, two girls, Xu Xiuyi and Mo Feiyan, came in with smiles. When they saw the gorgeous Ming Lanruo, who was covered in red makeup, their eyes were filled with surprise.
"No wonder Ming's family has a daughter who is famous in the capital. Sister Ming is really very beautiful. How can Zhou Changle compare with her sister if she is a vulgar person!" Mo Feiyan couldn't help but sigh.
Her straightforward and simple compliment made both Ming Lanruo and Xu Xiuyi burst into laughter.
Mo Feiyan's eyes fell on Ming Lanruo's head, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "This step is so beautiful, such a big pearl, perfect for my sister!"
Ming Lanruo trembled for a moment and became depressed: "No...it won't be good at all if you use it on me!"
