Oh yes!
Gu Yunzhen thought of something again and turned to Gu Yuan. “Big Brother, go change your clothes and dress up more formally. Today is Yanfei’s big day!”
Gu Yunzhen sized up Gu Yuan with some disdain and felt that Gu Yuan was wearing too plain a shirt. Not only was his robe considerably old, but he didn’t even have a jade pendant on him.
Looking at Gu Yanfei, who didn’t have any accessories on him, Gu Yunzhen couldn’t help but sigh. They were really a biological pair of siblings!
Gu Yunzhen hurriedly pulled Gu Yanfei towards the inner room and muttered, “Yanfei, you have to change your clothes and hairstyle. There’s also jewelry…”
Gu Yunzhen calculated the time in her mind. The more she calculated, the more she felt that the time was a little tight.
“…” Gu Yanfei actually felt that there was nothing bad about her and Gu Yuan’s current state, but looking at Gu Yunzhen’s energetic appearance, she didn’t dare to say anything.
She smiled obediently.
Big Sister was in charge, so of course Big Sister had the final say!
Nanny Pang, who was running around anxiously at the side, had long wanted to remind them. When she heard them talking about forcing the throne and the Eldest Princess Feng Yang, she didn’t dare interrupt. She could only prepare clothes and accessories for Gu Yanfei first.
Nanny Pang welcomed her with a smile and said happily, “Eldest Miss, I’ve chosen several clothes for the Second Lady. Come and take a look and choose one.”
After a few months of interaction, Nanny Pang also understood her Second Lady. If there were any big matters in the residence, she would listen to the Second Lady. As for these trivial matters, she would listen to the eldest daughter.
“1 also chose a few sets of noodles. One of them was made at the Zhen family’s silver house last month. I think it’s very suitable for the Second Lady.”
As they spoke, they escorted Gu Yanfei in.
Gu Yanfei was like a doll, letting them do whatever they wanted.
The maids surrounded Gu Yanfei and busied themselves. After spending a full incense’s time, they finally dressed Gu Yanfei up.
Gu Yanfei put on a new azure-blue broidered silk pinafore, paired with a water-red threaded long skirt, the vivid azure-blue setting off her delicate figure.
Her thick black hair was tied into an elegant crescent hair bun. She was wearing a red gold dot that was filled with emerald green dots. It was embedded with colorful gems that were overflowing with light, reflecting her eyes that were as dazzling as the stars.
The girl, who usually had light makeup, was now bright and moving.
However, Gu Yunzhen still felt dissatisfied. She muttered, “I think it’s still lacking something.”
She sized up Gu Yanfei repeatedly and clapped excitedly. “I know!”
Gu Yunzhen chose another pair of gold-threaded pearl earrings from the box and personally put them on Gu Yanfei.
Gu Yanfei turned her head slightly. The pearl swayed under her earlobe with the golden thread, revealing a trace of charm that belonged to a young girl.
“Just add this pair of earrings! Perfect!” Gu Yunzhen finally smiled in satisfaction, as if she had completed a masterpiece.
Juan Bi and Nanny Pang also echoed in high spirits.
“Coming! Coming…” The little maid’s panting voice and hurried footsteps came from outside the house.
A blue-robed little maidservant lifted the curtain and entered. Her cheeks were red as she reported excitedly, “Eldest Miss, Second Lady, the Ministry of Rites and the Court of Rites have come to propose marriage!”
After Chu You’s forced abdication of the throne, the Emperor used three days to stabilize the court. He imprisoned those who should be imprisoned, confiscated things that should be confiscated, and rewarded those who should be rewarded. He again chose officials to replace Xiao Fengyuan, Wang Kangyin, and the others.
Three days ago, the Emperor issued a decree for Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei’s marriage.
This time, no minister objected to this marriage. Even if Chu You didn’t admit it, the ministers in the imperial mausoleum that day were 70 to 80% confident. There was indeed a secret behind Gu Yuan’s plan to subdue the enemy nine years ago, and it was inextricably linked to Chu You and even the previous Emperor.
Originally, it would take at least two to three months to prepare, from the Emperor’s betrothal to the marriage proposal, but according to the imperial astronomy, today was the best day in the first half of the year.
In addition…
“Third Madam and Eldest Young Master also know. They’re already heading to the Yi Gate,” the blue-robed maidservant hurriedly added.
Gu Yunzhen waved away the maid who had come to report and adjusted the silk flower in Gu Yanfei’s hair. She smiled. “Yanfei, let’s go too.”
Gu Yanfei grunted and got up from the dressing table smoothly. Surrounded by everyone, she walked out of the house.
The courtyard outside was decorated with lights and colorful flowers.
Along the way, the maids and old maids were also overjoyed and in high spirits. Today was a good day in the residence.
Gu Yanfei walked unhurriedly from the Yuheng Garden to the gate. She passed through doors with familiarity and walked through long corridors and paths…
From afar, she saw a familiar red car parked outside the door.
Feng Yang, who had a head of white hair, got out of the red car. She was wearing princess makeup and had a graceful and noble aura.
The bright sunlight coated Feng Yang’s body with a golden halo.
Today, it was Feng Yang who came to propose a marriage for the Eldest Prince on behalf of the Emperor.
Feng Yang, who was beside the red car, also saw Gu Yanfei walking towards her and smiled brightly.
Gu Yanfei pursed her lips and smiled at Feng Yang.
In addition…
Feng Yang said that she wanted to personally bear witness to Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei’s marriage.
She didn’t have much time left. She definitely wouldn’t be able to wait for their wedding.
Be it the Emperor, Chu Yi, or Gu Yanfei, they all wanted Feng Yang to get what she wanted.
“Your Highness!” Gu Yanfei quickened her pace and walked towards Feng Yang, her eyes shining.
The sky was clear blue, and the sun was dazzling..
