Crown Princess Consort? Mo Yan was surprised, never having thought that the Crown Princess Consort would co.
Seeing this, Liu Tinglan thought Mo Yan was overjoyed and said with a smile to Xin Er, "Those people were right, it’s not that your sister has a spouse; how many young girls coming of age get the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort to personally co and offer congratulations?"
Xin Er shook her head and said, "The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess Consort are here on behalf of Brother Xiao’s parents to propose marriage for him; otherwise, the match wouldn’t be quite proper."
The secretive affairs of Lord Wei Yuan House were only circulated among the upper class, and Liu Tinglan, not being privy to such information, had no idea about the discord between the Xiao father and son. Upon hearing that the Crown Prince and his wife were coming to propose marriage on behalf of Xiao Ruiyuan’s parents, she wondered, "Then where are Sir Xiao’s parents? No matter how busy they are, they should co over for their own son’s lifelong matter, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xin Er’s expression changed and she looked nervously at Mo Yan.
Previously, because of this matter, their father had been displeased with Brother Xiao for a while and nearly disagreed to this engagent, fearing that after her sister entered the Xiao Family, she would suffer at the hands of Brother Xiao’s father and stepmother. Her sister and Brother Xiao had taken quite so effort to reassure their father!
Liu Tinglan, seeing this, could guess there was an unspoken secret at play, and imdiately felt a pang of regret. She quickly tried to make ands, "It’s an honor for the Crown Prince couple to co and propose a marriage for Sir Xiao, sothing others would beg for but not receive. It puts you in a good light as well, nothing could be better."
Mo Yan felt there was nothing to hide since everyone else would eventually find out, but the present mont wasn’t the right ti for such discussions, so she said, "So things can’t be explained in just a few words, I’ll tell you when the ti is right."
Liu Tinglan, hearing this, relaxed and nodded with a smile.
Finally, with the help of Liu Tinglan and Xin Er, Mo Yan got dressed in a light green embroidered dress. Her black, glossy hair, which was let down, was carefully combed through, tied gently with a light green hair ribbon, and left to softly fall to her waist without a single ornant on her head.
Even without makeup, showing her natural beauty, Liu Tinglan and Xin Er couldn’t help but admire, for Mo Yan’s complexion was fair and radiant. The green dress set off her delicate beauty splendidly, like a bud ready to burst into bloom, captivating to all who beheld her.
Feeling their gaze, Mo Yan felt sowhat embarrassed and urged, "It’s almost ti, let’s finish packing up and head out!"
"Sure, you stand still, we’ll take care of these." The two reluctantly withdrew their gaze and carefully packed up the other three sets of clothes on the bed, placing them on a tray. They would be needed later for the ceremonial rites.
Once everything was ready and nothing was missed, the three left the courtyard and made their way to the "Eastern Room" next to the main house.
At that mont, the ancestral hall of the Mo Family where the ancestors were venerated was filled with guests who had co to witness the ceremony. Chu Heng, being the Crown Prince, naturally sat at the foremost position among the guests, with the noble and dignified Crown Princess Consort at his side.
The Crown Princess Consort, surnad Liang, didn’t possess extraordinary beauty, but the first glance at her would draw people in with her dignified and graceful presence, making her appearance secondary.
This wasn’t Princess Consort Liang’s first ti attending soone else’s coming-of-age ceremony, but it was her first ti mingling with common folk. After the initial discomfort, she felt much more at ease, finding the commoners’ manners to be rough yet genuine and sincere. Even though she was filled with curiosity, she only observed from a distance and didn’t rashly approach to flatter or ingratiate herself.
Part of this was certainly out of fear of her title as Crown Princess Consort, but more so it was their natural disposition to not engage in sycophantic behavior. Anyone would feel at ease interacting with such people. Princess Consort Liang, seeing the relaxed and comfortable deanor of her husband beside her, began to understand why he liked coming here.
