She actually had a "sweet dream" all night long!
Ling Jingshu felt ashamed and annoyed, and her pretty face almost burned with heat.
The candlesticks had been lit in the room, illuminating the blush on her face clearly.
"Miss, why are you blushing this early in the morning?" Bai Yu didn't know what was going on and joked with a smile: "My uncle hasn't come yet! When my uncle comes, it won't be too late for you to blush and be ashamed."
Qiaoyun smiled and took over the conversation: "Yes! My uncle didn't come to greet the bride until after noon. All the relatives and friends of the Ling family will come soon. Miss, don't panic or be afraid."
She was so panicked and scared! I feel shameless to see people!
Ling Jingshu thought in annoyance, but she couldn't open her mouth to explain.
On the day of the wedding, there was a dedicated Xi Niang who dressed up. Bai Yu and Qiao Yun served Ling Jingshu to put on her daily clothes and eat some breakfast.
In this day, the only chance to eat is this breakfast.
When Xi Niang comes, Ling Jingshu has to shut up obediently and let Xi Niang do what she wants. According to the custom at this time, no water or food is allowed until evening.
Soon, the two Xi Niang came over.
These two Xi Niangs were sent from the palace personally by Empress Wei. She is over forty years old, and her dressing skills are very good, far better than those of ordinary brides. People who stay in the palace all year round have a magnanimity that is difficult for ordinary people to match.
As soon as the two Xi Niangs stood next to Ling Jingshu, they had the aura of being in control of the overall situation.
"Bai Yu, go and prepare a basin of hot water. I want to save Miss Ling's face first." One of the Xi Niangs ordered.
Another Xi Niang told Qiao Yun: "I'm going to comb Miss Ling's hair and put on makeup later. I won't be disturbed by anyone. You wait outside the door. If anyone comes, ask someone to wait outside first. What are you waiting for? It’s time to dress up and let people in.”
Baiyu Qiaoyun responded in unison and each got busy.
Ling Jingshu had nothing to do, so she just treated herself as a piece of wood and allowed the two Xi Niangs to busy themselves.
An hour later, Xiniang was finally done.
Ling Jingshu looked at the bright, charming and incomparably beautiful girl in the mirror, feeling a little dazed.
The appearance is the same as in the previous life, but there are some differences. The brilliance and beauty overflowing from her eyes made even her feel amazing.
"Miss Ling is naturally beautiful, and this outfit is simply stunning." Xi Niang praised with a smile: "Mr. Wei will be stunned when she lifts her hijab tonight."
Another Xi Niang smiled and took over the conversation: "Yes! I have been in the palace for so many years and have served many empresses in dressing up. But none of them can compare to Miss Ling."
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled softly, displaying the shyness of a newlywed bride, and lowered her head in silence.
…
The Ling family who had been waiting outside the door were finally able to come in.
Mr. Jiang brought his handsome brother, the pregnant Ling Jingyan, the smiling Mr. Sun, the Fifth Master Ling, Ling Xiao, Ling Ji, etc. Even Mrs. Ling came.
"Grandma hasn't recovered from her illness yet. She's just resting in the house. Why did she come all the way?" Ling Jingshu stood up hurriedly to greet Mrs. Ling.
Old Mrs. Ling lost weight, the wrinkles on her face became more obvious, and her face became a little pale and gray. However, the spirit is pretty good. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Today is your wedding day. How could I, a grandmother, not come? I can watch you get married with my own eyes. Even though I am tired, I am still happy."
Ling Jingshu had a smile on her face, but she snorted coldly in her heart.
Mrs. Ling insisted on coming, not because of her granddaughter, but because of Queen Wei's favor.
Empress Wei specially sent Xi Niang from the palace to support her and made her blush again. This thoughtfulness and attentiveness are truly touching.
Old Mrs. Ling sat for a while, but because she was weak, she was quickly helped away again.
Guests soon came to the Ling Mansion to congratulate them, and Ling Wuye, Ling Xiao and others all went out to greet the guests. Even Mrs. Jiang accompanied Mrs. Sun out.
Only Ling Jingyan stayed in the room to talk to Ling Jingshu.
Ling Jingshu's eyes fell on Ling Jingyan's belly and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Cousin Yan, why is your belly so big? You must be pregnant with twins!"
Ling Jingyan's belly is indeed surprisingly big. It's only just over seven months old, and it's still very round.
Ling Jingyan responded with a smile: "I asked a famous doctor in the capital to check my pulse a few days ago. It is indeed possible that I am pregnant with two children. My father-in-law and mother-in-law were so happy that they invited four midwives to prepare in the house!"
"Today they originally refused to let me leave the house. I begged again and again before they allowed me to come back. There were seven or eight maids and women waiting on me. In fact, I am very strong and strong, so how can I be so delicate? And your brother-in-law, She was extremely nervous and followed me like a follower. If it weren't for the inconvenience of entering your boudoir, I would have followed me in shamelessly."
"Cousin Yan, don't be ignorant of your blessings." Ling Jingshu laughed: "My brother-in-law cares about you, so he follows you all the time."
Ling Jingyan's pretty face was fair and round, filled with happiness and sweetness: "When you get married, Wei Yan will love you like this."
Ling Jingshu felt sweet in her heart when she thought of Wei Yan.
Today is their big day to get married. Wei Yan will soon ride to marry her.
…
Because something happened to the Lu family, Uncle Ling reported illness and stayed in the house to rest and avoid suspicion for two months.
Although the limelight has not passed, this happy event in Ling Mansion cannot be kept low-key, it must be done in a lively and spectacular manner.
Uncle Ling thought about it over and over, and then he wrote a bunch of invitations and went out. I thought to myself that even if half of the guests came, it would still make sense.
I never thought that more people would come to congratulate me than expected. There were even quite a few who came uninvited.
These guests are all here for Queen Wei and the Crown Princess. Queen Wei could not come in person, so she sent two Xi Niang to Ling Mansion. The Crown Princess came to Ling Mansion in person today. This honor and dignity are truly enviable.
Everyone in the Ling Mansion was so busy greeting guests that their feet didn't even touch the floor. The inner hall and side halls of the main hall were all crowded with people, so subsequent guests had to be accommodated in the main halls of various courtyards.
Uncle Ling swept away his previous depression and greeted the guests with a smile.
Fifth Master Ling's face was even brighter, thinking proudly that I had indeed given birth to a good daughter. The three sons put together are not as good as Ling Jingshu.
In the future, he, the father-in-law, will have to take advantage of his son-in-law Wei Yan. Not to mention anything else, just look at the guests who came to congratulate him today. Although they are all officials of the imperial court, they are all extremely warm and polite to him, a small official.
Lord Ling Wu couldn't help but feel a little elated amidst the adulation from everyone.
From now on, follow Ling Jingshu's lead in everything. Since Ling Jingshu didn't like Mrs. Li, she asked Mrs. Li to stay in peace and quiet and stop hanging around in front of Ling Jingshu in the future. So as not to make Ling Jingshu unhappy.
Well, that’s it! (To be continued)
