The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1060: so much attention
Chapter 1060: So Important
“Don’t worry, mother. I am the safest person on this trip.” Bai Qingyan analyzed with Dong, “The monarchs of the three kingdoms of Great Zhou, Yan, and Xiliang are all here. If Tianfeng Kingdom takes action during the alliance, it will certainly arouse the indignation of Great Zhou and Yan, not to mention Xiliang. At that time, the soldiers of the two countries will fight to the death. Tianfeng Kingdom can only rely on the elephant army, and two fists cannot defeat four legs… I am afraid it cannot win. No matter how rampant Tianfeng Kingdom is, it will not dare to do so before it has figured out the background of Great Zhou and Yan!”
Dong nodded. She didn’t understand what was happening on the battlefield, but she believed Bai Qingyan: “No matter what, you must remember that you are a double-bodied person. You must be very careful!”
“Don’t worry, mother!” Bai Qingyan held her mother’s hand and said with a smile, “How are Chen Qingsheng and Chuntao’s wedding preparations going?”
“Madame Qin and Madame Tong have both gone to help, don’t worry… Chuntao’s dowry is also ready. We will give Chuntao a grand wedding in two days.” Mrs. Dong patted Bai Qingyan’s hand gently. Chuntao’s marriage put Mrs. Dong’s mind at ease, and it was also an explanation to the wet nurse.
“Speaking of this, after Chuntao and Chuntao get married, you must give Chen Qingsheng and Chuntao more time to spend together. Don’t send Chen Qingsheng away right after the couple gets married.” Mrs. Dong warned.
“Don’t worry, mother! This time we will make sure that Chen Qingsheng stays with Chuntao well and won’t let them separate.” Bai Qingyan said with a smile.
November 23rd is a good day for marriage, and it is the day Chuntao is getting married.
Dong’s wet nurse is no longer with us. Chuntao grew up in the Bai family. To Chuntao… the eldest lady and the ladies of the Bai family are her relatives.
Bai Qingyan asked Chuntao where she wanted to marry, and Chuntao said she wanted to marry from the Bai Mansion.
Firstly, she was afraid that marrying Chuntao from the palace would cause trouble to Bai Qingyan, and secondly, because she grew up in the Bai Mansion and had feelings for the mansion, Bai Qingyan agreed to Chuntao’s request.
It was not convenient for Bai Qingyan to leave the palace, so the day before the wedding she specially called Chen Qingsheng to the palace and told him to treat Chuntao well.
After the morning court session, she couldn’t help feeling lonely without Chuntao’s company.
The old servants of the Bai family…even Shen Qingzhu, went back to the Bai Mansion to see Chuntao off.
She stood under the corridor, squinting at the dazzling autumn sun. She calculated that there was still time, so she ignored Wei Zhong’s dissuasion, changed into ordinary clothes, and quietly took a carriage back to Bai Mansion to see Chuntao off.
The Bai Mansion was very lively that day. Even though Chuntao was just a maid, she was the daughter of the Empress Dowager Dong’s wet nurse and grew up with the current empress. Although the Empress Dowager and His Majesty could not leave the palace, they repeatedly instructed that Chuntao’s marriage must be handled well. How could everyone in the Bai Mansion not do their best?
Several ladies sent their experienced and steady maids over. Maid Qin who was beside the empress dowager and Maid Tong who was beside the empress were also there, bringing the empress dowager and the empress to add makeup to Chuntao and do her facial.
Privately, Nanny Tong stuffed Chuntao with the land, shops, house deeds, and banknotes that Bai Qingyan had given her privately. Chuntao hurriedly declined, saying that not only was the dowry all prepared by the eldest lady at the request of Nanny Qin, but she also prepared additional dowry for herself, which the eldest lady had also prepared.
Matron Tong patted Chuntao’s hand and said to her, “Good girl, the makeup is just for show. It’s given to you by the eldest lady! The eldest lady said that you don’t have to rush back to the palace to serve her after you get married. You can have a good rest for a few months.”
Chuntao held in her hands the mahogany box that the eldest girl had asked Madam Tong to bring, which contained land, real estate, shops, banknotes, and carved pictures of hundreds of children and grandchildren. Tears fell down her eyes as she held the box tightly in her arms.
“Oh! My little aunt!” Aunt Tong saw this and quickly took out a handkerchief to gently wipe Chuntao’s tears. “It’s not appropriate to cry on such a happy day! It’s not like you won’t be allowed to serve the eldest lady after the marriage. Stop crying. No matter what, you are still a member of the Bai family! In the future… live a good life to repay the love of the madam and the eldest lady for you!”
“Mammy…” Chuntao looked up at Mammy Tong, “Madam and the eldest lady are so kind to Chuntao, Chuntao… Chuntao doesn’t know how to repay them!”
“Okay, stop crying!” Nanny Tong said with a smile, “Our Chuntao is a grateful person. She will serve the young lady more attentively in the future! Nanny’s health is getting worse day by day, and she can’t always accompany the young lady. If Nanny can’t serve the young lady in the future, you will have to work hard!”
“Chun Tao knows!” Chun Tao nodded vigorously, “In the future, Chun Tao will definitely study harder with Madam!”
Chuntao wiped her tears and sat in front of the bronze mirror. The maids were busy combing her hair, saying auspicious words every time they combed her hair. Chuntao’s face flushed and her eyelashes trembled nervously.
Chunzhi stood beside the red curtain, holding the veil in her hand, looking at Chuntao with envy, looking forward to the day when she would get married. She clenched the black lacquered and gold-painted square plate tightly in her hand, knowing that as long as she served the eldest lady loyally… the eldest lady would definitely not treat her badly in the future.
Suddenly, Chuntao heard the repeated voice of “Young lady” from outside. She turned around while sitting in front of the bronze mirror and saw Bai Qingyan, dressed in casual clothes, coming in from outside after opening the curtain.
“Miss!” Chunzhi bowed quickly.
“Young lady!” Chuntao stood up in shock, her eyes suddenly red.
The eldest lady is now the empress, and she actually made a special trip out of the palace to see her off. What if… what if she encounters danger? Chuntao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shen Qingzhu following Bai Qingyan.
Looking at Chuntao in her wedding dress, with the skillful dressing of the maids, her delicate features have already acquired a mature and dignified aura.
Bai Qingyan walked to Chuntao with a smile, pressed Chuntao’s shoulders and sat down: “Today is your big day, you are not allowed to shed tears…”
“Miss!” Chuntao tightly grasped Bai Qingyan’s hand on her shoulder, choked and sobbed, and tears couldn’t stop falling.
In Bai Qingyan’s heart, Chuntao and Shen Qingzhu are the same, and they are like sisters to her. She has to come when Chuntao gets married.
“Well, it’s not like we’ll never see each other again after you get married. Take this opportunity to rest for a while, recuperate, and be refreshed before returning to the palace.” Bai Qingyan said.
Chun Tao then wiped her tears with a handkerchief and swore solemnly: “That’s for sure! Even if Chun Tao gets married… I will serve the young lady for the rest of my life!”
Bai Qingyan looked at Chuntao and raised his hand to gently stroke the top of Chuntao’s head. In this life… Chuntao was still alive and married to the man of her dreams.
Her Chuntao will definitely get better and better in the future…
Chen Qingsheng was keenly aware of Bai Qingyan’s sudden arrival at the Bai Mansion, but he did not dare to make it public. He knew that the eldest girl attached great importance to their Chuntao, but he did not expect her to attach so much importance to her.
Second update, Chuntao is getting married! ! ! !
