Across Time And Space Chapter 74

On the day of her wedding, Jiang Mingyue was awakened early in the morning when Xiao Mi nudged against her face . Mingyue stretched up on the bed and sat up when she realized that it was her special day . When Mingyue saw the black cat, she immediately lifted Xiao Mi and kissed Xiao Mi on his head . "Xiao Mi," Mingyue petted the black cat . "Pray for me that everything will go smoothly today . "

Xiao Mi lifted his head to look at Mingyue's smiling face . He meowed once, rubbed his face against Mingyue's cheek, and looked away . When there was a knocking on the door, Xiao Mi jumped down from Mingyue's bed and waited in front of the door . As soon as the maidservants entered the room, Xiao Mi stood up and walked out to find something to eat .

"Good morning, young miss . " the maidservant bowed . Then, they helped Mingyue to wash up . When Mingyue has done freshened up, Ying Yi entered her room carrying her wedding robe .

"Ying Yi! You're here," Jiang Mingyue smiled .

Ying Yi handed the wedding robe to one of her maidservants and went to Mingyue's side . Her hands moved as she congratulated Mingyue .

Mingyue pulled Ying Yi into her embrace and sighed . "Thank you . " she pulled away and spoke again . "Help me dress up . "

Just as Mingyue put on her dress, she could hear a commotion outside . She turned to the door and saw her mother walked in with her sister-in-law . A few servants and a madam were trailing behind her mother . The smile on Mingyue's lips grew wider when she saw her mother .

Han Yunyi stood a few steps away from her daughter to observe Mingyue with love . Her eyes grew misty as she realized that her daughter has grown up, and in a few hours, she will be a married woman .

"Mother," Mingyue went to her mother's side and held both her hands . "Don't cry . Or else, I will cry too . "

"I can't believe that my daughter has grown up," Han Yunyi forced a smile .

"Mother, today is a happy occasion, don't cry," Mingyue's sister-in-law, Wen Ji coaxed .

"You're right," Han Yunyi nodded . She dabbed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and sobered up . Then, Han Yunyi pulled Mingyue towards her dressing table . "Come . Let me help you to comb your hair . "

Han Yunyi took the comb from the maidservant as a madam stood beside her, chanting auspicious words . When she finished, Han Yunyi pa.s.sed the comb to the madam, and the madam helped to braid Mingyue's hair . Then, the madam helped to put makeup on Mingyue's face .

When her makeup completed, Mingyue saw a familiar silhouette stood beside her mother . Her eyes grew wide with surprise . "Your-!" Mingyue pursed her lips before she could finish . She looked around and was glad that she did not finish her words, or she might expose the princess's presence .

Princess Lingchen chuckled at Mingyue's expression . "I'm glad that I was not too late . You look beautiful today . Captain Yang Yun will be surprised when he sees you . "

"Why are you here?" Mingyue decided to ignore the princess's teasing and pulled her into a quiet corner .

"It's your wedding day . Of course, I have to attend . " Princess Lingchen said . She pulled Mingyue into her embrace and whispered, "On behalf of the Emperor and the Emperess, I'm here to congratulate you . " Princess Lingchen pulled away and smiled . "Don't worry too much . My father gave his approval to let me attend your wedding . The hidden guards are around to protect me . "

Mingyue sighed . The frown on her face deepened . "You're attending the old General Jiang's daughter wedding . There are skilled soldiers all around . I don't need to worry about your safety . It's your health that I'm worried about . "

The Princess smiled . She knew that her cousin will always worry about her health . "I'll be alright . Besides, grandfather and Ying Yi will be around as well . You go and get married without worrying too much . I'm just here to enjoy the festivity . "

Mingyue frowned at Princess Lingchen's words . "Don't tire your self and always keep yourself warm . "

"Alright," the Princess laughed . "I know . Grandfather helped me to take precaution . Stop nagging too much . It's time to put on your veil . You don't want to miss the auspicious hour . "

Mingyue looked at Princess Lingchen with worry . But her mother convinced her that she would look after the princess . Only then did Mingyue stop worrying too much .

The madam stepped forward and helped Mingyue with her veil . From then on, Mingyue could not see anything but the red color .
