342 Marriage Ceremony
The next day, Jun Hua woke up early. Somehow, she felt nervous, so she didn't sleep very well last night. Still, she was already used to not sleep full 9 hours, so she chose to sit down on her bed and yawned.
Her action caused the two maids, who had been waiting, to realize that their Miss had woken up. Xiao Yun and Xia come inside with a copper basin.
Jun Hua looked outside, it's still really early. She asked, "What time is it?"
Xia said, "To respond to Miss, its 7 AM."
It would be impossible for her to fall asleep again, so she stood up and ordered Xia and Xiao Yun to help her get ready. Washing her face and using faint make-up as the first layer, she instantly made people unable to see that she didn't sleep very well last night.
Xia sighed, "Miss's complexion is so good. Even without any make-up, you're already the most beautiful bride today."
Xia was just joking. Regardless of how good her face was, she still needed to wear makeup on her wedding. However, her Miss's face was truly extraordinary and there was simply no one who could match up with her face alone.
Jun Hua smiled slightly at Xia remark. "Stop joking. Help me prepare myself."
Xiao Yun nodded her head excitedly. After going through a lot of training in the capital as a lady, Jun Hua is not only beautiful, but she has the aura of nobility and allure. A single glance would be enough to show that she was a girl from the noble family. It made people wanted to admire her relentlessly and be satisfied with just a glance from her.
"Miss, now it's time to thread your face," Xia reminded her as Xiao Yun called one of the older maids Qin Shie had prepared.
Jun Hua's face darkened. She obviously knew what the meaning of threading. It was to remove the hair on her face. Although every woman who would be married would have to endure it, she remembered the scream Fan Lanying had when it was her turn. She was sure that her face must be hurt after it was done.
The maid came and started the threading. Jun Hua's face contorted a bit in pain, but she didn't say anything until it was finished. The maid admired Jun Hua greatly for enduring the pain very well. Well, for a general, this much was not a problem.
"You did well, Miss," Xiao Yun praised.
Jun Hua rubbed her face. It did hurt, but she had experienced worse pain due to her experience. Still, she didn't want to do it anymore.
After the threading, it was time to apply makeup and brush her hair.
Jun Hua sat in front of the mirror as Xia and the older maids started to prepare her. Sitting straight for hours with them doing her hair and face made Jun Hua felt uncomfortable. She was used to sit for a long time but not for something like this. Her hair felt weird to be pulled here and there continuously. Fortunately, the makeup finally finished and she can move.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Jun Hua was stunned. Previously, she was already called as the most beautiful lady in the kingdom. Now that she was wearing the makeup, her beauty reached another level. Blue eye shadow, rosy red lips, and the other detailed make up made her beauty showed alluring appeal.
"The dress, Miss," Xia reminded her Miss. Even she felt that there was no one who can match her Miss in terms of beauty. The definition of beautiful must be redefined after seeing her.
Jun Hua wore the dress and looked towards the mirror. With her petite and delicate body, they needed to custom made the dress for her. After all, compared to the girls of the same age, she could barely be considered to have an average height. Her uncle often blamed himself about her height, saying that she didn't have enough nutrition, though in her opinion, it was just the gene. Though, she was not sure which family the gene came from was.
Jun Hua looked very suited to wearing this extravagant dress. Despite her delicate appearance, this dress only increased her dignified temperament.
"Miss, the sedan will come soon. Do you want to wear the veil now?" Xiao Yun raised the veil.
Seeing that veil and the head accessory, which was a phoenix crown since Soujin was now a prince, her face turned gloomy. That kind of head accessory was incredibly heavy… Never mind, it was not like she was a weak lady too…
After the preparation is over, she got into the sedan and headed towards Soujin's residence. Because of the veil, she couldn't see things clearly, but she was sure that Soujin must be standing in front of her, looking extraordinarily gorgeous.
Seeing the hand in front of the sedan, she knew that it was Soujin's hand even without looking clearly. She grasped his hand and followed his lead in the ceremony.
"First, bow to the heaven and earth!"
"Second, bow to parents!"
"Third, husband and wife bow to each other!"
After the bows finished, Soujin led Jun Hua to the bridal chamber. However, it was not the end yet since he still needed to deal with the guests and drink with them. As for the elders, because Nanglong Family had long lost most of them, the rest were only some faraway branch, which not close to them. So, the only one who accompanied them was the matron.
Arriving at the chamber, Soujin waved his hand, and Lou quickly prepared the matrimonial wine while he gently lift up the veil on Jun Hua face.
Finally, Jun Hua can see again, but upon seeing Soujin face up close, she lowered her eyes. She was truly not used to see his devilishly handsome face this close.
The matron coughed. "Your Highness, we still need to proceed with the ceremony."
Soujin coughed lightly. He just felt his little wife to be exceptionally beautiful tonight that he forgot himself a bit. He quickly proceeded to finish the ceremony before heading out to deal with the quest. The matron also left the room soon after that.
Sitting on the bed, Jun Hua sighed as she beckoned for Xia to come over.
"Is there any light food I can eat?" the ceremony lasted from morning to night, in which she didn't have any time to eat. Her stomach couldn't bear with it anymore.
Xia handed her some foods she had prepared beforehand. Knowing her miss, she knew that Jun Hua wouldn't care about breaking the rules since her stomach couldn't stand it any longer. Eating the food, Jun Hua could feel her stomach no longer protesting so much. After that, she continued to wait for Soujin's return.
