Qianxi giggled and playfully pressed her onto the stool.
“Indeed, Mistress, for today, put aside all other concerns.” Bo He smiled, picking up a sandalwood comb from the dressing table.
Gu Qingluan pursed her lips and chuckled, “Alright, then I won’t worry.”
“That’s the spirit!”
The three women exchanged smiles and then put all their efforts into making their mistress the most beautiful bride in the entire realm.
After some time had passed, Bo He spoke softly, “Alright, Mistress, take a look. Are you satisfied?”
Gu Qingluan opened her eyes and, upon seeing her reflection in the mirror, was momentarily taken aback.
She usually went without makeup because her cultivation process naturally purified impurities from her body, leaving her complexion radiant and her skin flawless. Her lips were naturally pink. But now, her lips were painted a vibrant red, adding a touch of radiance and elegance to her appearance. With her greenish-black eye shadow and rosy cheeks, she looked like she had stepped out of a painting, even more stunning than usual.
“Is Mistress stunned by her own beauty? Are we maids skilled enough?” Qianxi teased with a smile.
Gu Qingluan’s gaze shifted to the mirror as she regained her composure. She gave Qianxi a sidelong glance.
Upon realizing her mistake, Qianxi hurriedly covered her mouth.
She promised herself that she wouldn’t make such comments again!
Her eyes glistened as she looked at Gu Qingluan, her expression filled with pleading.
Gu Qingluan, however, had no intention of blaming her. It was Qianxi’s talkative nature that was both a strength and a flaw. If she wasn’t more careful with her words, she would undoubtedly get into trouble sooner or later.
Her gaze returned to the mirror.
In fact, the maids had not applied heavy makeup on her, except for her lips, which were strikingly vibrant.
Seeing where Gu Qingluan’s gaze had fallen, Bo He guessed her thoughts and immediately explained, “Today is your big day, everything should be in bright red to symbolize good fortune.”
Gu Qingluan could only relent.
Creak!
The door was slowly pushed open.
Two little heads peeked inside.
Bo He turned around and greeted them with a smile, inviting them into the room.
So, Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi entered the room.
Gu Qingluan stood up and turned around.
Gu Xiaonan’s eyes lit up immediately. “Mother, you look so beautiful!”
Feng Yuanxi nodded in agreement, “Mother is the most beautiful!”
The two little ones didn’t miss any opportunity to compliment Gu Qingluan.
Gu Qingluan’s ears felt like they could grow callouses from all the praise, but she couldn’t help but be amused by them.
Qianxi chuckled. “Wait until you’re in your wedding gown; you’ll look even more beautiful!”
Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi wholeheartedly agreed with this.
They had seen their mother wearing a wedding gown before, and she looked incredibly beautiful.
“Mother, hurry and put on the wedding gown!”
They couldn’t wait to see their mother in it; she would surely look even more stunning today!
When Gu Qingluan emerged from the inner chamber in her wedding attire, everyone in the room was left in awe.
The astonishment in everyone’s eyes was evident.
Beautiful!
Absolutely breathtaking!
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow, wondering if this reaction was a bit exaggerated?
After all, she had simply changed into different clothing.
She cleared her throat and asked, “Have you seen enough?”
“Not enough! Never enough!” Gu Xiaonan said with determination.
The maids came back to their senses and continued laughing. “Mistress, you look so beautiful, how can we ever get enough of seeing you?”
Gu Qingluan didn’t want to pay them any mind. Today, they seemed to be in high spirits and had grown bold, teasing her again and again.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door from outside.
It was the voice of the marriage matchmaker.
“The groom here. Is the bride ready?”
“We’re ready!” Qianxi replied.
Qianhuan quickly lifted the red veil from the side and covered it over Gu Qingluan’s head.
Outside the door, there was a commotion.
Blocked from her sight by the red veil, Gu Qingluan’s heart suddenly started racing..
