Chapter 75 The Wedding 1

In the Shu Mansion,

The house was brightly lit, with her grandmother Wei by Mrs. Shu side and Mother Zhao by Shu Yuwan’s side, directing people to move Shu Yuwan’s dowry.

After receiving the marriage decree, Mrs. Shu hurriedly prepared Shu Yuwan’s dowry.

Many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, fabrics, a bed of gold-threaded nanmu wood and more dowry.

In addition to Shu Yuwan’s original dowry, Mrs. Shu also took some properties and shops from her dowry to give to Shu Yuwan. The Shu family also provided a considerable amount of silver notes as part of the dowry.

The Queen Ning said that since it was her niece getting married, she sent a dowry not less than what Shu Yuwan received when she married into the Marquis of Anding’s residence.

Added to this were the betrothal gifts sent by the Crown Prince.

Shu Yuwan’s small courtyard storeroom couldn’t hold everything, so much of it was directly placed in the main warehouse of the mansion.

All these items had to be moved to the front hall by tomorrow, and the dowry would be transported to the Crown Prince’s residence starting tomorrow morning.

On the other side Shu Yuwan father summon her.

“Father.” Shu Yuwan said.

Mr. Shu looked at his daughter and advised, “Once you enter the Palace, remember to be cautious in all matters and prioritize your safety.”

“Your elder brother often visits the Palace. If anything happens, have your brother send a message back. Whatever I can do, I will do for you.”

Shu Yuwan felt touched, and smiled saying “I understand, Father, you can rest assured.”

…

After Shu Yuwan returned to the courtyard.

Mrs. Shu came to find Shu Yuwan, her eyes red, “The big wedding is tomorrow.”

Seeing Mrs. Shu like this, Shu Yuwan chuckled, “Mother, this isn’t my first marriage, why are you crying again.”

Mrs. Shu wiped away the tears about to fall, “No matter how many times you get married, a mother still feels reluctant.”

Previously, upon receiving the decree, she was only happy, but now, Mrs. Shu was anxious. Although she knew Yuwan had been married before, she was worried about the wedding night and whether the Crown Prince would have any reservations.

Men do care about these things after all.

Even with some concerns, she knew Yuwan’s days in the Palace might not be easy.

Shu Yuwan had been worrying about these things ever since she receive the marriage decree, so she transferred her daughter to her elder brother in advance, prepared herself mentally, and now, when the time came, she was not worried.

Seeing Mrs. Shu’s expression, Shu Yuwan advised, “Mother, don’t worry, my marriage to the Crown Prince was predicted by Master Liao Kong.”

“Since it’s a destined marriage, we will naturally have a harmonious relationship in the future.”

“I will be respected in the Crown Prince’s residence, and you can visit me with Wenyue often.”

Mrs. Shu nodded, “Don’t worry, I will visit you and Wenyue often.”

“You don’t need to worry about Wenyue. When your sister-in-law’s health is better, I will entrust some matters in the residence to her to take care of Wenyue.”

“Thank you, Mother.”

“No need to be so polite with me.”

Mrs. Shu took out the “Dowry Diagram” and prepared to explain it to her daughter. According to custom, this should be explained to the daughter, but now, she wasn’t sure if she should explain it or not.

Shu Yuwan embarrassedly said, “Mother…”

“There’s no need to explain this, right?”

Mrs. Shu awkwardly tucked it under Shu Yuwan’s bed, “Although you understand it all, you can still learn a bit more.”

After the awkward moment passed, the mother and daughter smiled at each other.

“Alright, I’ll go check on the dowry arrangements, you stay with Wenyue.”

A month ago, Shu Yuwan started spending the day with Wenyue in Mrs. Shu’s room, and half a month ago, she began letting Wenyue stay overnight in Mrs. Shu’s room.

At this moment, Shu Yuwan came to Mrs. Shu’s room to check on her daughter.

Wenyue was already asleep, with her babysitter side, sewing while watching over her.

Seeing Shu Yuwan enter, her babysitter wanted to bow to her, but Shu Yuwan quickly stopped her, “Don’t wake up Wenyue.”

“You can take a break in the outer room, I’ll watch her for a while.”

“Yes, Miss.” This person would soon become the Crown Princess, so the she didn’t dare to be negligent and respectfully retreated outside to stand guard.

Looking at her daughter’s cute sleeping face.

A smile unconsciously appeared on Shu Yuwan’s face.

She gently hooked Wenyue’s little hand, and Wenyue then held Shu Yuwan’s finger tightly, putting it in her mouth to nibble on.

Shu Yuwan found it even more amusing, and as she laughed, tears almost fell from her eyes.

She couldn’t help but think of Mrs. Shu who had just come to see her, her eyes red.

“Wenyue, don’t blame Mother.” Shu Yuwan choked up a bit.

They sat like this for a while, until Qing Dai came in to urge, “Miss, the dowry has been moved, you should rest for a while.”

“Tomorrow, you will have to get up, and you will have a busy day ahead.”

Shu Yuwan nodded, instructed the babysitter to come in and look after Wenyue, then returned to the courtyard with Qing Dai.

On the way, Qing Dai advised, “Miss, don’t worry, Madam will take good care of Miss Wenyue.”

“Now that you are the Crown Princess, no one will dare to mistreat Miss Wenyue.”

Shu Yuwan smiled bitterly, “I know.”

“But Wenyue is still young, and she has been by my side all this time. Suddenly leaving her, I’m worried she won’t adjust.”

She then smiled at Qing Dai, “Don’t worry, I know what to do. I won’t have a long face tomorrow.”

After Shu Yuwan fell asleep, her thoughts wandered for a while before gradually drifting off.

But just as she felt she had just fallen asleep, she heard Qing Dai calling out.

There were already palace maids outside, preparing to do her makeup.

There were also her sister-in-laws Tang and Zhou, her elder sister Shu Yuting, and some girls from the Shu family who had come to accompany her and were already there.

Yimei, who had been promoted from a second-class maid to a senior maid, helped Shu Yuwan wash up. After that, Mother Zhao invited the ladies to come in.

Shu Yuwan paid her respects to everyone.

Tang helped Shu Yuwan up, “Stop being so formal, the palace maid is waiting to do your makeup!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The people sent by the Shu family to accompany Shu Yuwan were all smart and observant, leaving an impression on Shu Yuwan.

Yimei greeted the ladies and served tea.

Mother Zhao and grandmother Wei took the dowry to the Palace and arranged it properly.

Some of them would go to the new room in advance to take a look for Shu Yuwan and prepare the bed.

Qing Dai brought a bowl of chicken noodle soup, “Miss, have some noodles, after the makeup is done, you can’t eat anymore today.”

Although Shu Yuwan had no appetite, she knew she had to eat.

After finishing the noodles, the palace maid came in, respectfully paid respects to Shu Yuwan, and began to do her makeup.

The process was tedious, but Tang, Zhou, and Shu Yuting accompanied Shu Yuwan, saying auspicious words.

When the makeup was done.

Shu Yuwan looked at herself in the mirror, several degrees brighter and more radiant.

The palace maid’s craftsmanship was indeed extraordinary.

“Sister, you are truly outstanding, elegant, and noble.” Shu Yuting exclaimed happily.

“Yes, with such a beautiful appearance, when the Crown Prince sees you, he won’t be able to look away.” Tang also chimed in.

Shu Yuwan embarrassedly said, “Sister-in-law, elder sister, please don’t tease me haha.”

After chatting for a while, Yimei came in.

“Miss, the Crown Prince has come to escort you~”
