Chapter fifty-eight 

The day of the wedding

Her room had already been refurbished as a traditional Chinese wedding chamber yesterday with the big Chinese word for wedding struck on the windows. So today, Xi Wang was forced to sit down in front of the vanity table in her room while the makeup artist that Hou Yi had told Xi Wang was a top makeup artist in their field that Xiang Ni had hired for the day. Luckily after a few days' rest, Xi Wang is fully alert for their wedding day. Xi Wang was thinking that finally after thousands of years she and Xiang Xi could finally be together in this lifetime.

As Xi Wang base is naturally good, the makeup artist finished Xi Wang wedding makeup in a blink. The makeup artist even complained that Xi Wang base was so good, she actually does not need makeup and is a waste for them to hire her.

Xiang Ni knew that Xi Wang do not like things to be too complex, so he had with Xi Wang permission simplify their wedding and taken away the need for taking wedding photos. Xi Wang was pulled by Ming Zhen and her mother to her wedding dress that was laid on her bed.

Xi Wang with a glance knew that her mother definitely had participate in the sewing of her hand sew wedding dress. The phoenix crown and round hand embroidered fan that she need to wear and hold for her wedding is also laid on her bed. While her mother and Ming Zhen were helping Xi Wang to wear her wedding dress and the phoenix crown. Her mother was also telling Xi Wang of the history of her wedding dress and phoenix crown.

According to her mother not long after Xi Wang and Xiang Ni had come back from the hospital, Xiang Ni had come to her with a wedding dress design that he say Xi Wang will definitely like for their wedding. Maybe it is due to lady luck blessing, the wedding dress that was passed down generations within her mother's family will fit the wedding design with just a few modifications.

Xiang Ni had hired a team of expert tailors and along with her mother, they spent a few weeks modifying the wedding dress. If not for the fact that Xi Wang knew that she was wearing makeup, she almost wants to facepalm herself. Xiang Ni had them use threads that is dye with real gold for the phoenix on her wedding dress. And for the rest of the wedding dress, Xiang Ni had them using threads that is dyed with real blue diamond powder.

Her mother had also told Xi Wang that ancestor few generations had sell off the jewelry on the phoenix crown to raise funds for their family business and had replace it all with fake jewelry. Xiang Ni with one wave of his hand had sent the phoenix crown to a famous old jeweler overseas and had used all real jewelry to replace the fake jewelry.

After Xi Wang wore her wedding black xunran, her mother pulled her back to sit in front of the vanity mirror for the hair combing ceremony. Luckily Xi Wang was thinking that she could modify her hair to be silky smooth so hair combing will not be a pain. Actually, Xi Wang was just trying to change the topic in her mind so she will not start crying when she feels her mother lovingly brush her hair.

First brush -may your marriage last a lifetime.

Second brush – may you be blessed with a happy and harmonious marriage until old age.

Third brush – May you be blessed with an abundance of children and grandchildren (although Xi Wang was thinking at this time that she just needs to give birth to one more boy and girl. Too many children will ensure she go bald too early. After all, Xi Wang just wanted to be a salted fish life)

Four brush -may you be blessed with longevity.

Once Xi Wang's mother finished brushing, she patiently works her hair into the phoenix crown. And when everything was done, Ming Zhen and her mother pulled Xi Wang over to the floor length mirror in her room for her to have a look.

As Xi Wang previously had been a high-ranking official in the ancient world, she had been sent to other countries to attend the wedding ceremonies of their emperors. Xi Wang knew that she had modify herself to be a beauty, but she never expected the results to be so good. The wedding dress could be worn by any empress for their wedding in the ancient world.

As Xi Wang is too engrossed in admiring herself, she never notices that Ming Zhen had replace the large, enclosed jug of water with another similar jug and had hidden the original jug of water in her wardrobe. Hehe, Ming Zhen was thinking cheekily to herself that she is helping her mother not to be so anxious in her wedding night and as a present for her new father.

That jug had been replaced with fruit wine with low alcohol and with some medicine to help her mother to be more proactive in her wedding night. Ming Zhen knew that her mother, Xi Wang is of a traditional mindset and may delay her wedding night due to her being anxious. After all Ming Zhen expected that once Xi Wang and Xiang Ni had tasted the prohibited fruit, they will definitely be addicted to it.

And after that extremely fast, she will have new siblings to play with. Ming Zhen is still unwilling to marry and give birth to her own babies due to her memories of being a male and she feared pain of giving birth. So Ming Zhen is expecting other people to give birth to babies that she could play with. Most importantly is also to have more female siblings to distract attention.

Ming Zhen did not expect that in her own family she is the only female and her among her new siblings, she is the only female also. And all her siblings are control freaks, Ming Zhen knew that there are people surrounding her that will make daily reports on her activities back to her elder brothers including Ming Liang.

As Xi Wang had appointed Ming Liang as the eldest brother, he took his responsibilities seriously. So seriously Ming Liang took his responsibilities that he had special people focusing on his new siblings just to ensure that he could stop trouble for his new siblings even before trouble appear on the horizon.

As Ming Zhen had also learn medical skills from Xi Wang in the previous world, she knew what medicine to help her mother in her wedding night. Ming Zhen knew that Xi Wang will definitely be first pulled back to their wedding room after their wedding. And Xiang Ni will definitely be forced to entertain the guests. Most importantly Ming Zhen knew that when her mother is anxious, she will start to drink anything in her surrounding that could quench her thirst and the jug that she placed in the room will definitely be her mother first choice.
