Chapter 2000 - 1938: Bridal Companions

The grand red wedding attire, embroidered with gold and silver thread in the shape of a phoenix, with its eyes replaced by two lustrous pearls. The hem and cuffs have gold peony patterns, adorned with pearls, which shimmer under the lights, filling the room with radiance.

Every girl dreams of wearing a sacred and beautiful wedding dress on her wedding day. In ancient times, women also yearned for a beautiful red wedding outfit.

Red represents righteousness, and only the legitimate wife, the Madam, is entitled to wear red, including the wedding attire.

Wufu clearly saw the admiration and envy from the noblewomen in the room; she couldn’t help but smile and straighten her posture.

Ah, the feeling of being admired, it’s a bit intoxicating!

Seeing her smile, some noblewomen blushed and stepped forward to offer congratulations, "Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Princess Consort."

"Thank you." Wufu waved her hand, and Purple Jade brought out a tray filled with accessories.

"I heard that when getting married, it’s customary to give gifts to the sisters who came to celebrate. Previously, I was in mourning, so rarely attended your gatherings, and haven’t made any close friends. But I’m so glad to have you here celebrating my wedding. These small gifts are for you as a souvenir." Wufu pointed to the jewelry on the tray, "I don’t know what you all like, so feel free to choose yourself?"

The noblewomen looked over in surprise; typically when a woman gets married, she gifts her close friends and sisters as a memento, but they weren’t Wufu’s close friends.

Being invited to send off the Princess Consort of Jin due to Empress Dowager Mo’s decree is already a great honor. Both they and their families would be delighted.

They are not Wufu’s close friends, yet Wufu thoughtfully prepared gifts, and the jewelry is beautiful and precious, making it hard to look away.

No woman can resist beautiful jewelry. Seeing these, their eyes brightened, but they hesitated, fearing to be impolite by stepping forward first to choose.

"Go ahead and pick." Wufu smiled, picking up a red gem tasseled hair ornament, and after observing the girls in front, she placed it in the hair of a fair-skinned noblewoman, saying, "This ornament suits your fair skin."

The noblewoman had her eye on that hair ornament for a while and was delighted within, offering a light bow, "Yan Qing thanks Her Royal Highness."

This is Yan Qing, Old Madam Yan’s granddaughter, who accompanied the Old Madam as company for Wufu.

"No need to thank, it’s not worth much." Wufu patted her hand, "Young girls dressed prettily are my favorite sight."

"Her Royal Highness is also quite young," said a bold Miss Qian, noticing Wufu looked only seventeen or eighteen.

"Still not as young as you." Wufu laughed, "Go pick a piece of jewelry you like."

"Then we won’t be courteous." Miss Qian picked a jade bracelet, and seeing her choice, the others also followed to pick what they loved.

"Alright, chat with the Princess Consort. Soon the bridal procession will arrive, and you’ll need to help block the door, can’t let Prince Jin take the Princess Consort so easily." Old Madam Yan, seeing the room’s cheerful atmosphere, laughed.

Everyone responded spiritedly and sat down, boldly asking Wufu how she met Prince Jin and what she usually does.

There’s nothing to hide; Wufu briefly shared how they met and what they do daily.

"The dowry’s being hastened!" someone suddenly shouted from outside.
