Chapter 487 Adding Makeup

After the death of the Queen, the Crown Prince should have observed mourning for three years.

But Ning Chuyi was not born by the Queen, and the Emperor had not forgotten that it was because of the Queen and Concubine An's calculations that Ning Chuchu misunderstood and left the capital in despair.

The Emperor did not let Ning Chuyi observe the full three years of mourning, but replaced the days with months, and he was released from mourning for 27 days.

After the end of mourning, the Emperor issued another decree, ordering the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory to choose an auspicious day for the Crown Prince's wedding.

It is not known whether the Emperor secretly issued any orders, but the auspicious day selected by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory was half a month later.

When Ling Chu learned about it, she was very surprised.

Although she was mentally prepared to marry Ning Chuyi, she did not expect it to be so hasty.

After thinking about it, she still asked Ning Chuyi to meet, wanting him to go to the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory to discuss changing an auspicious day.

But Ning Chuyi wanted to marry her right away, so he naturally didn't want to change the date.

Ling Chu wanted to pick an auspicious day herself, but she had no choice but to ask her master for help.

But Xuanyi Zhenren said that he had already calculated that the auspicious day selected by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was the most suitable for her and Ning Chuyi.

Ling Chu had no choice but to accept it in the end.

Although the Prince of Dingyuan and the Princess were reluctant to let their daughter marry so soon, the imperial edict had been issued, so they could only start planning their daughter's wedding.

Although the wedding date was hastily set, it was the prince's wedding after all.

The Ministry of Rites knew that the emperor valued the prince and did not dare to neglect it in the slightest. The Minister of Rites personally led his officials to prepare the three books and six rituals, including the procedures of accepting the marriage proposal, asking for the name, accepting the good news, accepting the betrothal gift, and asking for the date.

The Ministry of Rites was very busy, and the Prince of Dingyuan's Mansion was even more busy from top to bottom.

Since Princess Dingyuan recognized Ling Chu, she began to save up dowry for her. But she didn't expect her daughter to get married so soon, and the dowry she saved up was far from enough.

Fortunately, the Dingyuan Palace was not short of money, let alone people.

When her only daughter got married, Princess Dingyuan sent many people to buy all kinds of necessary items.

Princess Dingyuan's natal family, Jiang Xiahou Mansion, was naturally very happy to learn that her granddaughter was named the national teacher and was about to marry the prince. Seeing that her granddaughter had not yet decided on a marriage, the old lady took the initiative to pick out a part of the dowry she had saved for her granddaughter and had someone send it to the Dingyuan Palace.

The old lady's daughter-in-law was smart. She knew that her niece had married well and was favored by the prince. In the future, her daughter's status would also rise with the tide, and she would not have to worry about marriage in the future.

Not only did she not stop the old lady, she also took the initiative to help Princess Dingyuan prepare for the wedding.

Lady Nan'an Hou, who was on good terms with Princess Dingyuan, also helped find a lot of good things to add to Ling Chu's dowry.

Although Prince Jing and Princess Jing regretted not marrying Ling Chu to Prince Jing, they couldn't compete with the Crown Prince for her, so they still helped Princess Dingyuan a lot.

The busy days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for Ling Chu to get her dowry.

Since Xuanyi Zhenren escorted the emperor back to Beijing safely, the emperor not only gave him a house, but also rewarded him with a lot of good things. Although Xuanyi Zhenren accepted them all, he didn't value these mundane things.

Although Ling Chu was nominally his disciple, Xuanyi Zhenren treated her like a daughter. Xuanyi Zhenren ordered people to load almost all the things rewarded by the emperor into a car.

Early in the morning, he asked the eldest disciple Jiyuan to send them to Dingyuan Palace to add dowry to Ling Chu.

The master and the eldest brother both sent things, and Qingfeng, as the third brother, was not willing to lag behind. He was the prince of Rui Palace, and he had no shortage of power and wealth. With a wave of his hand, he gave the younger sister a full ten carts of dowry gifts.

Even the second senior brother who was far away in Yaowang Valley sent something over, but what he sent was not gold or silver, but five carts of various precious medicinal materials.

The emperor probably knew that the wedding date was set too hastily, and the Dingyuan Palace had no time to prepare a dowry for his daughter, so he asked Eunuch An to prepare a lot of silk, satin, jewelry and headwear to give to the Dingyuan Palace, as a dowry for the Crown Princess.

Seeing that the emperor had given so many things, the concubines in the harem couldn't help but express their gratitude, and they prepared gifts one after another and asked the housekeepers in their respective palaces to send them to the Dingyuan Palace.

Ling Chu grew up in Xuanqing Temple since he was a child, and he didn't make many friends after returning to Beijing.

However, Dingyuan Wang was valued by the emperor and his power was at its peak. Now there was a Crown Princess who was also a national teacher, and all the officials in Beijing wanted to make friends with Dingyuan Wang Mansion.

But in the past, Dingyuan Wang didn't want to make the emperor jealous, so he didn't make friends with court officials, and those officials who were interested in making friends couldn't find opportunities to make friends.

Now that the Dingyuan Palace is marrying off its daughter, a grand banquet is being held. No one wants to miss such a good opportunity.

Taking the opportunity of adding makeup, the ladies of each palace asked their daughters to prepare gifts and go to the Dingyuan Palace to add makeup.

At first, facing the ladies and ladies from various palaces in the capital, Ling Chu could still smile dignified and gentle. But as more and more people came, she secretly complained in her heart.

She had never thought that it was so difficult to keep a smile, but these people were all here to add makeup for her. She couldn't show her face to them, and she could only grit her teeth and persevere even if she was tired.

When dusk fell, the guests who came to add makeup dispersed, and the two rooms in the east and west of the courtyard where Ling Chu lived, as well as the three warehouses of the palace were filled with various gifts. And her face had been stiff from smiling all day.

Xia Zhi's maids were happy and distressed at the same time.

Seeing the guests leave, they immediately brought hot water to soak the towel to help Ling Chu apply to her face. When the stiff cheeks relaxed, Ling Chu was too tired to move.

She ate a quick meal, washed up and prepared to go to bed, but she didn't expect Ning Chuyi to have someone send her something at this time.

After the concierge brought it over, it was handed to the maid in the inner courtyard.

When the maid brought it in, Ling Chu realized that Ning Chuyi had given her a five-layer dressing box. Seeing that the two maids were struggling to lift it, she couldn't help but be surprised.

What was given to her? It looked quite heavy.

With curiosity, Ling Chu opened the dressing box.

When she saw the things on the first layer, Ling Chu's eyes suddenly widened.

Ning Chuyi actually gave her a jade ruyi.

Originally, Ling Chu would not be so surprised to see the jade ruyi, but Ning Chuyi gave her more than one.

Instead, six.

Each one has a different shape, with delicate jade, crystal clear, and charming emerald green.

You can tell at a glance that it is carved from the best jade.

Ling Chu took a deep breath and slowly opened the bottom two layers.

As expected, it was filled with all kinds of hairpins, jade pendants, bracelets, forbidden steps, pendants, jade hairpins, step-shaking ornaments... all made of jade.

And they were all rare and good things.

It can be seen that Ning Chuyi spent a lot of time on it, and I don't know where he got them from.

But these things touched Ling Chu's heart.

Her system is an absolute gold-eating beast, and no matter how many jades and jades there are, they are not enough for it to absorb.

However, these are all given by Ning Chuyi, and she doesn't intend to give them to the system unless it is absolutely necessary.

After playing with them for a while, Ling Chu asked the maid to put away the dressing box.

Ning Chuyi was in the prince's mansion at this time, practicing sword while imagining Ling Chu's reaction when receiving the gift. In fact, he wanted to hand the things to her in person, but the man and woman could not meet before the wedding, so he could only bear the longing.

But when he thought that tomorrow was the day of the wedding, Ning Chuyi's lips were full of smiles.
