CHAPTER 335: CHAPTER 335: DRESSING IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR

Thinking it over, the most suitable outcome is for the Prince Zhan Mansion to collapse.

Without this major support, saying she died of fright would be quite plausible.

Thus, Lin Guifei’s life is ticking down, and so is the collapse of the Prince Zhan Mansion.

Yet, the Emperor who arranged all this looks down on it from above.

While Prince Zhan and his people remain unaware that their good days have come to an end.

Likewise, the Lin and Feng Families are also on a countdown, but theirs is a joyful occasion.

In Miss Feng’s courtyard.

Today is the day to try the auspicious clothes and finalize the makeup.

Therefore, Mrs. Feng attaches great importance, coming early with her attendants to the courtyard.

Luckily, Miss Feng has no habit of sleeping in, so when Mrs. Feng came early, she saw her daughter already preparing for breakfast.

Upon seeing her mother, Miss Feng rose to greet her.

Her actions are poised and dignified, her speech generous and respectful.

"Daughter greets Mother."

The Feng family has a nanny favored by the court, living out her twilight years gracefully, hence Miss Feng has been learning etiquette from her since she was five or six.

Therefore, over the past decade, her manners are impeccable.

Even the palace’s Nanny Jiao Yi would struggle to find fault.

Looking at her daughter’s gentle smile, Mrs. Feng feels a surge of happiness.

A daughter finding a good match is the best thing for Mrs. Feng.

The Lin Family truly is as the Fourth Prince Consort and her son Feng Qi said, not only well-mannered but genuinely sincere in seeking a marriage.

Box upon box of betrothal gifts sent to the Feng family, forcing her to clear a courtyard to barely accommodate them.

Although it may seem biased to measure people by wealth.

At least such abundant gifts sufficiently demonstrate the sincerity of the Lin Family.

Moreover, all matters since the engagement have been organized by Madam Lin.

Even today’s wedding clothes and makeup have been prepared early by Madam Lin’s people.

Thus, this marriage is being arranged comfortably, giving Mrs. Feng hope for her daughter’s future life.

"Alright, rise up, you haven’t had breakfast yet?"

"Mmm, waking up a quarter later today, so I haven’t eaten yet. Have you eaten, Mother? Shall I ask the kitchen to send some here?"

"No need, I ate some before coming, since you haven’t eaten yet, finish your meal and then try the clothes. It might take an hour or two, it’s better to eat well first."

Holding the auspicious clothes, and those specially coming to do the makeup.

All sent by Madam Lin, so it wouldn’t be good to keep them waiting in the courtyard.

Thus, Mrs. Feng instructed.

"Let them rest in the side room first, until Miss Feng finishes her breakfast before asking them to come in."

"Remember to serve them some tea and snacks, be courteous, understand?"

The maids dare not disobey Mrs. Feng’s orders.

When the maids placed the breakfast on the table, Miss Feng began eating one bite at a time.

She doesn’t eat much, so the dishes and bowls sent from the kitchen are small and delicate.

After having two three-colored shrimp dumplings and a bowl of freshly ground soybean milk, she was eighty percent full.

She asked a maid to bring water to rinse her mouth, then drank a sip of honeydew before sitting at the vanity.

Beside her, Mrs. Feng looked at her daughter in the Linhua Copper Mirror, very pleased.

She felt a bit of relief and sentiment as she spoke.

"In the past, you seemed so young, but now you are to be married. In the future, live well with Mr. Lin, enjoy a stable and secure life, that’s best."

Mrs. Feng never sought much.

She neither hoped for her daughter to marry upward for the family’s benefit, nor wished for her daughter to marry low and aid in hardships, fearing she’d fall into a lifetime of mire if she didn’t find a good match.

Miss Feng felt a bit shy listening to her mother’s words.

But her tone remained sincere.

"Mother, please have them come in."

"Alright, alright."

The people the Lin Family sent came in two groups.

The ones bringing the auspicious clothes were the Chief from Yunxiu Pavilion, followed by two embroideresses.

This wedding dress was crafted by them, with over twenty embroideresses also involved.

Otherwise, such a masterpiece may not have been completed in time.

And the ones responsible for makeup were from Linglong Workshop.

She specialized in fashionable makeup for ladies, doing so exceptionally and thus highly sought after.

It was uncertain what method the Lin Family used to invite her.

"We greet Mrs. Feng and Miss Feng."

"Boss Jin, you’re too kind, it’s early and already troubling you to make a trip."

"Mrs. Feng, you’re too modest, this marriage between the Lin and Feng Families even drew the Holy Emperor’s attention. I’m merely a small shopkeeper, it’s my fortune to be tasked with Miss Feng’s makeup."

Truly, businesspeople speak with extra sweetness.

The people from Yunxiu Pavilion were not as eloquent.

After all, their craftsmanship speaks for itself, the wedding dress within the brocade box serves as proof.

Mrs. Feng stepped forward to open the brocade box, revealing a red fully embroidered auspicious garment.

The gold and silver threads seemed alive, bringing the twin lotuses on the wedding dress to life.

More beautiful than any embroidered garment Mrs. Feng had ever seen.

She exclaimed with delight.

"Madam Lin took great pains."

Yunxiu Pavilion is a property of the Dong Family, widely known.

But what the wedding dress turned out like wasn’t just the embroideress’s idea.

Surely, Madam Lin contributed significantly.

After all, the meaning of twin lotuses is excellent, using it here is even more elegant than a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Miss Feng also appreciated her future mother-in-law’s thoughtfulness.

She looked at the wedding dress, then sincerely said.

"I really love it, thank you all for your efforts."

The Chief from Yunxiu Pavilion stepped forward and said.

"This wedding dress was personally designed by Madam Lin, using the strength of over dozens of embroideresses night and day to complete."

She then pointed at the flower stamen on the chest.

Inside, some black silk threads were used for the stamen, making it appear more realistic.

"These black threads were mixed with Mr. Lin’s strands of hair to represent everlasting unity and never parting."

This clever idea deeply impressed Mrs. Feng and Miss Feng.

Indeed, the Lin Family handles affairs thoroughly.

Not only this, but they also hit the mark of the mother and daughter’s desires, truly remarkable.

The Master of Linglong Workshop standing beside them chuckled and said.

"Indeed a perfect match, truly made in heaven. Miss Feng hasn’t married yet but is highly esteemed by her in-laws, truly a blessing. Hurry and change your clothes, I can then do Miss Feng’s makeup. By then, the Lin Family’s young master will be mesmerized."
