After Liu Jiaojiao returned, she went straight to the study room to find Lord
Liu and asked, “Father, I heard that Young Master Wu has returned?”
Lord Liu nodded. “I was just about to look for you to talk about this. Do you know who saved you that day?”
Liu Jiaojiao was shocked. If her father mentioned this now, it must be related to her question. She asked incredulously, “Is it Young Master Wu?!”
Lord Liu nodded and laughed. “That’s right, I didn’t expect you two to be so fated. It seems that this marriage is a match.”
Liu Jiaojiao’s face turned red. She did not think that it would be so coincidental that the person who saved her was her fiancé, who would be getting married soon.
Thinking of the person who saved her that day, she felt a little happy. If it was him, it did not seem too bad.
But when she thought of Princess Ding’an’s words, she gathered her thoughts and asked, “Then, Father, can you arrange for me to meet him? I want to thank him in person.”
“Umm…” Lord Liu hesitated. “Isn’t this against the rules? Aren’t you getting married? We’re a family, so there’s no need to thank him.
Liu Jiaojiao was anxious. It seemed like her father would not agree to this.
However, she was not willing to give up and decided to try again, “Aiya, Father, I’m begging you. You’ve already said that we’re getting married anyway, so the rules aren’t that important anymore. Besides, we’ve never met before, so let us meet and have a good chat. Otherwise, won’t it be a marriage between two strangers?
Lord Liu thought for a moment. His daughter was right. Usually, before an engagement, the man and the woman should get in touch to see if they were suitable for each other. But Wu Zhenghui had been at the border for two years. This marriage was arranged by him and Lord Wu in private. The two little ones had never met, so it was no harm to meet now.
The most important thing was that his daughter was acting coquettishly.
His daughter had always been a very sensible child and rarely acted coauettishly with him.
It was not easy for her to come here, and Lord Liu wished he could promise her everything.
“Alright,” he said. “I’ll talk to him tomorrow. I’ll let you know when I’m done.” “Thank you, Father!” Liu Jiaojiao thanked him in surprise.
The next day, Lord Liu brought back news and asked the two of them to meet on Mid-Autumn. Liu Jiaojiao was overjoyed and looked forward to the arrival of Mid-Autumn.
Ten days passed by in a flash. On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Emperor first took the Empress and the concubines of the harem to worship the heaven and pray for the people and the Great Wei Kingdom. After returning, he began to set up a banquet and invited all the ministers and those who had contributed to the Great Wei Kingdom.
Jian Qingqing naturally could not be absent at this kind of occasion, so early in the morning, Nanny Wu pulled her up to wash up, change her clothes, and style her.
Jian Qingqing sat on the stool drowsily, letting Xiao Tao smear her face and pull her hair.
She opened her eyes and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Xiao Tao was very good at it. She had shaved her eyebrows into curved willow-like eyebrows and applied makeup and lipstick on her face. Her originally round face looked even more lovely and cute.
The mirror in this era was too blurry. Jian Qingqing rarely looked at herself in the mirror. Today, she felt that it was even less like her.
Jian Qingqing blinked her big eyes and said, “It doesn’t have to be so grand,
Nanny Wu was playing with Xiao Tao’s hair with a curl. She smiled and said, “After all, this is the first time that the Princess has appeared in front of everyone. We have to make it grand.”
Jian Qingqing sighed. “Alright…”
