Although she didn’t dare look forward to the wedding, as a woman, she also had a desire for beautiful things, so she also wanted to try.
“Mmm, I understand. I’ll try now.”
Aunt Duan nodded.
Queen Xun also smiled and said, “Let’s try in my dormitory. I will also see how beautiful Yun Huangjin’s wedding dress is.”
Yun Huangjin? Nangong Ning was stunned for a moment before remembering that what the Phoenix Sky Emperor gave her the last time was extremely precious and lost. Queen Xun only had these things to reward her.
She vaguely remembered that Queen Xun’s expression was a little stiff at that time. She probably didn’t want to give it to her but the Phoenix Sky Emperor made the decision.
However, at that time, she thought that sending it to Prince Regent would definitely be no echo, so she didn’t have much expectations. She didn’t want it to really be a wedding dress.
Although it might be white to wear it, it was good to be beautiful once.
With that thought, Nangong Ning, Queen Xun and others entered the dormitory at the back.
Aunt Duan personally brought Prince Regent’s maid to try the wedding dress for Nangong Ning.
Nangong Ning also took out an incomparably beautiful dress from the largest brocade box. It was Zhu, but Nangong Ning looked at it, but there was a faint layer of ink on it. It seemed to be a Phoenix in this cinnabar.
Nangong Ning looked at him in surprise.
Aunt Duan also clicked her tongue and sighed, “It is rumored that Yun Huangjin has her own embroidery. She is incomparably gorgeous. That’s true.”
The maid gently unfolded the wedding gown and gently put it on for Nangong Ning.
Nangong Ning couldn’t see him at this time, but he could see a strong surprise in Aunt Duan’s eyes.
After a while, the maid finished her actions. They retreated and looked at Nangong Ning with amazement in their eyes.
Nangong Ning smiled at Aunt Duan and asked, “Aunty, are you okay?”
Aunt Duan came back to her senses and sighed, “Very beautiful, very suitable.”
Nangong Ning believed it because with her current face, even if she put on a piece of rags, it would be pretty.
“Consort, go outside. Let the Empress take a look. This servant just so happens to see if there is any inappropriate place,” Aunt Duan said gently.
Nangong Ning nodded and walked out.
It was very strange that her wedding dress was very broad. She thought it would be heavy, but she never imagined that she would have no sense of gravity when she walked. It seemed like this was also Yun Huangjin’s benefit.
She walked slowly outside and Queen Xun, who was waiting, looked over. For a time, the hall fell silent.
Nangong Ning was stunned for a moment before continuing to move forward.
Queen Xun took a deep breath as she watched the young lady walk over.
She knew that Nangong Ning was beautiful, but now Nangong Ning, who wore Yun Huangjin’s wedding gown, was so beautiful that it really shocked her.
Yesterday, she had made Nangong Ning unable to be her daughter-in-law, but now Queen Xun’s eyes were slightly gloomy.
For someone as beautiful as Nangong Ning, she was afraid that her prince would not be able to suppress her.
Such beauty was probably something that only men like Jun Qianye could handle.
Nangong Ning stopped a few steps in front of the Empress. He looked at the Empress and asked seriously, “Empress, is this feasible?”
Queen Xun could only nod at this time and sighed, “Ning’s beauty, Yun Huangjin is extremely beautiful, plus with the embroidery of the Wushuang Pavilion, this wedding dress can be said to be unparalleled.”
Nangong Ning smiled, thinking that Queen Xun would really be exaggerating.
Aunt Duan also nodded with satisfaction and said, “This servant doesn’t look suitable. It seems that this dowry doesn’t have to go back to work.”
Queen Xun also nodded. “Yun Huangjin is too suitable for Ning. It seems that this palace has kept it for Ning.”
Nangong Ning listened and smiled too. “I don’t feel that it’s inappropriate either. That’s the case. I don’t have to modify it anymore.”
Aunt Duan nodded, asked the maid to come over, and brought Nangong Ning back to the dressing room to change the dowry.
Nangong Ning was a little embarrassed because there was no particularly clear full-body mirror in the dormitory. She couldn’t completely see her current appearance and felt a little pity.
Looking at Nangong Ning’s depressed expression, Aunt Duan smiled and asked, “What’s wrong with the consort?”
“It’s okay,” thinking about such a beautiful wedding dress, she could only try it out. Nangong Ning was still a little uncomfortable, but she couldn’t let Aunt Duan see it. After all, Aunt Duan thought she was really going to marry off Khai.
Aunt Duan sighed softly, feeling a little distressed for Nangong Ning.
Nangong Ning had no father and no mother. Now that he was going to marry, no one comforted him even if he felt uneasy.
She gently grabbed Nangong Ning’s hand and said softly, “Royal Consort, don’t worry. Although our prince looks cold, he is very considerate to the princess. Before this servant came, the prince told this servant to comfort the princess.”
Nangong Ning couldn’t help but wonder if Aunt Duan was talking nonsense to appease her.
Would someone like Jun Qianye care about all the minor details? Could it be that she was using Aunt Duan’s mouth to send her some news?
Thinking about this, she looked at Aunt Duan and asked, “Aunty, did Grandfather Wang say anything else?”
Seeing her like this, Aunt Duan couldn’t help but smile. She reached out to comb her messy hair and said gently, “Not much.” The Imperial Consort didn’t know that this servant had watched the Imperial Counsellor grow up. The Imperial Counsellor had always been a cold-hearted person. This was how he treated the Empress. He was very filial, but on the surface, he didn’t have much to do with the Empress.
His face was cold and warm? Was this really a description of Jun Qianye? Nangong Ning expressed suspicion. Jun Qianye took up the first two words at most.
“So now the prince is interested in the princess, but he won’t say much on the face. Don’t think the prince is heartless.” Aunt Duan continued.
Nangong Ning smiled stiffly.
As expected, she was helping her own family. Jun Qianye was cold-blooded and heartless to begin with, but in Aunt Duan’s eyes, he was actually warm.
Aunt Duan was pretty good and she spoke to her sincerely, but obviously, she still helped Jun Qianye.
However, it didn’t matter anymore. She couldn’t be the consort of Jun Qianye anyway.
“I will remember what auntie said,” Nangong Ning understood, so he didn’t mind saying a few more words to make Aunt Duan happy.
Aunt Duan was very happy to see her obedient and obedient.
Nangong Ning took the opportunity to probe again, but unfortunately, she didn’t get any useful news. She only confirmed that Jun Qianye was really trying to comfort her.
She pondered over and over, guessing that Jun Qianye was probably trying to make her wait in the Fengyi Palace at ease.
Even though she felt that it was too late, Jun Qianye wasn’t in a hurry and she had no choice but to wait.
Aunt Duan didn’t stay for long. Because of the wedding, the mansion had many things to prepare. Aunt Duan was the main force and she had a tight time.
After Aunt Duan left, Nangong Ning continued to wait in be very upset, but the day passed quickly. She still didn’t wait for Jun Qianye. On the other hand, in the evening, a unexpected guest came from Fengyi Palace.
“Mr. Xiao, why are you here?” Queen Xun looked at Xiao Feibai with surprise.
Xiao Feibai was a member of the Phoenix Sky Emperor. He lived in the palace but he ignored anyone. Even if he was helping Concubine Mei’s son treat him, he did not pay much attention to Concubine Mei. Queen Xun wanted to rope him in because he had saved the Holy Master and was trusted by the Phoenix Emperor. However, Xiao Feibai ignored her.
So at this time, Queen Xun was very strange about Xiao Feibai who took the initiative.
Nangong Ning, on the other hand, felt that this person was here for her, so she looked at him warily.
Xiao Feibai said casually, “Empress, I know that tomorrow is Miss Nangong and Regent’s wedding. I have once with Miss Nangong, so I also want to add a gift.”
For a moment, the hall fell silent.
Queen Xun didn’t expect Xiao Feibai to be a gift and Nangong Ning didn’t expect it, even though she thought that he was here for her.
Xiao Feibai ignored their astonishment and took out an ordinary white jade pendant with cloud tattoos from his sleeves and handed it forward with both hands.
“This jade is the most valuable thing on me. If Miss Nangong doesn’t mind it, please accept it.”
Nangong Ning looked at the jade. Even though she didn’t understand it, she could tell that the jade was made of ordinary materials, so she believed what he said.
“This…isn’t this good?” Nangong Ning didn’t want it.
This man’s background was mysterious, and he had an obvious purpose for her. Why did she take his things?
“What’s bad about it? Although it’s the only thing that’s worth money, it’s not something extraordinary,” Xiao Feibai said indifferently.
Nangong Ning frowned. She still wanted to refuse, but Xiao Feibai suddenly came forward and put it in his hand. Subconsciously, she could only reach out and take it.
“I wish Miss Nangong and the Regent’s husband and wife love, a harmonious union lasting a hundred years.” Xiao Feibai took another step back and said very seriously.
Nangong Ning revealed a stiff smile.
Haha… husband and wife love, a harmonious union lasting a hundred years?
She sneered in her heart but she could only say, “Thank you, Mr. Xiao.”
Xiao Feibai smiled and bowed to Queen Xun, “I will take my leave.”
Queen Xun nodded and looked at the jade in Nangong Ning’s hand. “The patterns on the jade are fine.”
Nangong Ning nodded and said stiffly, “It’s also Mr. Xiao’s good intentions.”
Queen Xun nodded but didn’t take it seriously. It was just an ordinary jade.
After dinner, Queen Xun told Nangong Ning about the wedding and told her to rest early. Because she had to get dressed early in the morning of the wedding, she didn’t have much time to sleep.
Nangong Ning nodded and went back to his side hall.
It’s not much time, why hasn’t Jun Qianye come yet?
