861 Getting Married (2)
As Miss Mei helped Shen Miao dress up, she smiled and said, “I’ve seen many girls over the years, but none of them can compare to the princess consort.” She smiled and said to Luo Xueyan, “Madam, don’t mind me for being chatty. The princess consort doesn’t look like you. Madam is straightforward, but the princess consort is graceful and noble. Even the noble ladies in the palace are inferior to her.”
Hearing people praise her daughter, Luo Xueyan was naturally happy. Luo Xueyan said humbly, “You are exaggerating it. It’s just that Jiaojiao has always been calm and mature, even more so than her father.”
“You can’t say that.” Miss Mei drew Shen Miao’s eyebrows and said, “Although some people have noble statuses, they don’t have that bearing. They’re just putting on airs. As soon as they take off their clothes and throw away their jewelry, they’ll be no different from ordinary people. Some people are different. Even in plain clothes and jewelry, they still exuded noble auras. I think the princess consort is the latter.” She smiled and said, “She looks like she’s destined to be extraordinary. Madam, don’t worry. I will definitely make the princess consort the most envied bride in the capital!”
As Shen Miao let Miss Mei help her dress up, she listened to Miss Mei talk. She thought that Miss Mei seemed to be quite good at reading people and found it interesting, so she listened to their conversation carefully.
The entire process lasted for a full hour.
The rouge was done in a natural manner. Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, and her lips were like rose petals. Her eyes were the most beautiful, looking like that of a newborn deer.
Luo Xueyan was shocked at the thought that her daughter actually had the bearing of an empress. Miss Mei smiled and said, “There’s nothing else to do now. Madam, stay here and accompany the princess consort for now. I’ll go find some bay leaves to make a pouch for the princess consort to wear.”
Luo Xueyan nodded.
Shen Miao sat at the table. Luo Xueyan looked at her beautiful daughter in the mirror. She was happy and reluctant. She held Shen Miao’s hand tightly and said, “Jiaojiao, you’re getting married today. I have something to say to you.”
Shen Miao said, “Mother, I’m listening.”
“When girls get married, their mother would say a few words to them. However, when I married your father, your grandmother had already passed away. I only have brothers and no sisters, and my sisters-in-law are young, so no one told me these things.” Luo Xueyan sighed. “So I figured these things out myself. I don’t know if they’re right, but I’ll tell you.”
“The most important thing in marriage is honesty. Your father and I have been together for so many years and have never had any secrets from each other. If you find out that the other party has secrets, don’t be anxious to ask. You have to wait and be patient. He will tell you.” Luo Xueyan patted Shen Miao’s hand lovingly. “I know you have a stable personality. This is a good thing. You won’t be affected by anything, but if you like him, you will care about his every move and be affected.”
“Be honest, don’t be shy, and don’t be afraid. That’s your husband, the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.” Luo Xueyan paused for a moment and said, “Jingxing promised me that after having you, he won’t have any concubines. To be honest, I don’t trust him. As a member of the royal family, how can there be only one woman at home?”
