Shen Xihe was really angry and didn't know how to face this man. He was so serious and impressive just a moment ago; but the next moment he became so frivolous that people were at a loss and wanted to use violence against him!
"Yoyo, I feel comfortable and at ease when I'm with you. Everything I say and do is my nature." Xiao Huayong smiled, "I want you to know this before we get married, so that you won't think I've changed after we get married."
"…Should I thank Your Highness?" Shen Xihe asked speechlessly.
"Why should we thank each other? Besides, I was just being honest with Youyou." Xiao Huayong smiled and shook his head, "As for the fraud case, Youyou is just watching the fun. Why don't you pick out our wedding dresses..."
As he spoke, Xiao Huayong picked up a booklet, which was sent by the Fashion Bureau and contained sets of wedding dresses.
She was the Crown Princess, so naturally, unlike other girls who got married, she had to make her own wedding dress. Even if she was not good at needlework, she had to symbolically embroider a few stitches. Her and Xiao Huayong's wedding dresses were prepared by the Shangfu Bureau, and all the wedding ceremonies were handled by the Six Bureaus and Twenty-Four Departments, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Rites of the Taichang Temple. She didn't even have to prepare her own dowry, but the royal family had a dowry for the Crown Princess.
Naturally, she didn't need to prepare the wedding dress. This dynasty liked bright colors, and often used crimson and green as wedding dresses. Women's wedding dresses were green, and men's wedding dresses were red. The crown prince's wedding dress had many patterns. Shen Xihe looked through several sets and felt that they were all similar.
She likes elegant colors. The brightest color she has ever worn is purple. She doesn't wear green, blue or red.
Just as she was losing interest and was about to randomly select a set, she found out that it was a light cloud-colored wedding dress with exquisite patterns embroidered with gold thread. Shen Xihe liked it at first sight, but she had some concerns: "Isn't the light cloud color not good?"
"What's wrong with that? It's our wedding, not someone else's wedding. Just be happy." Xiao Huayong did it on purpose. His Youyou was too polite and well-mannered, so he wanted to break through the constraints of these etiquette on her bit by bit.
She could be a graceful lady, a well-educated and well-mannered princess consort, but she had to be a wife who did whatever he wanted.
Only by getting through this step can they truly face each other without any scruples.
"The censors, the Ministry of Rites, the Confucian scholars..." Shen Xihe got a headache just thinking about these people's criticisms.
She really didn't think she should waste her time with these people just for the sake of momentary enjoyment.
"There is no law that requires weddings to be dressed in red or green." Xiao Huayong smiled, "White is also what our ancestors admired. In the Wei and Jin dynasties, white was considered beautiful. In this dynasty, wearing white is not taboo either. Why can't we wear white wedding dresses for our wedding?"
Shen Xihe looked at Xiao Huayong's solemn promise. She was actually worried that Xiao Huayong had made this plan for her preference. In order to make her achieve her wish, he had to go through the trouble of planning and shutting up those people.
"In this life, you and I will get married only once. I am lucky to marry you, and my happiness lies in you." Xiao Huayong said sincerely, "You are different from me. Marrying me may not bring you any unexpected surprises. I just hope that you will be thankful for the smooth things in your marriage, and that I can see joy and happiness in your eyes on the wedding day."
It turned out that a wedding dress, whether it could make her happy or not disgust her, had so many meanings to him.
