Ambitious Favored Consort: How To Become A Wangfei

Chapter 34: Wedding

The winter in the northwest was different from Jinling. It came fast, but it also came swiftly. After a few autumn showers of rain, the weather suddenly turned cold.

In a blink of an eye, it was the twelfth month, and the cold wind was bitter, and there were still remnants of snow around the corner that did not melt yet. As soon as Tang Shishi left the door, she was felt with the oncoming wind. Tang Shishi raised her hand to cover her eyes. After the gust of wind passed, she was about to walk out, and there was a loud and low cry from behind.

"Miss, wait."

It was the voice of Dujuan, so Tang Shishi had to stop. She was covered in a big red cloak, with a border of white fur around her collar. Under the collar, a thin light blue silk coat woven with gold threads could be seen. On the stand-up collar, a pair of gold buttons was beaming brightly.

Tang Shishi wore this suit of clothes with her long and slender figure with her white skin surpassing snow. Now when she was standing in the corridor, she stood out like a red plum in the snow. Dujuan panted, ran closer with her mouth exhaling white breath, and she stuffed a small copper furnace into the palm of Tang Shishi's hand, "Miss, can consider as I caught up with you. You forgot to bring your handwarmer."

The handwarmer was still warm. Tang Shishi took the copper handwarmer engraved with flower from her, "It's just such a small thing, and yet have to trouble you to especially come out to chase after me. Today is the day Shizi Consort enters the mansion.  Some of them are busy with so many people coming and leaving. You'd better take care of Little Li and don't let it run out. There are so many womenfolk in the backyard. It won't have a good ending if they collide with each other."

Dujuan responded graciously, "This maid understands. Miss, don't have to worry. We will look after Little Li well and won't let it starve."

After the autumn hunting, Prince Zhongshun returned to Beiting with his children, and Narentuoya never mentioned the little fox again. Naturally, this little fox belonged to Tang Shishi now. Tang Shishi brought the little fox back to the mansion. As soon as it was brought back, Little Li won the unanimous favor of the womenfolk in Jianjia courtyard.

This little maid, Dujuan lived in the inner residence all year round. The only chance to go out was to follow the mistress as a guest. Under such circumstances, she still has to serve with her heart and rarely could have a relaxing time. It was unheard of for them to go to the wilderness to see flowers and trees. When Tang Shishi brought the little fox back, Dujuan and the others were so happy to see a living fox for the first time.

Nowadays, Dujuan took care of the little fox more than Tang Shishi. Today, Lu Yufei and Zhao Zixun were getting married and Tang Shishi was going out to show her face. It was inconvenient to bring the little fox, so she can only leave it to her maid. Dujuan unreservedly vouched, Tang Shishi ordered a few more words, and then left quickly.

Tang Shishi was already late when leaving her courtyard, in addition, she was delayed by Dujuan on the way there. When she arrived at the reception hall, inside were packed with womenfolk. Tang Shishi took off her cloak and quietly mixed in the crowd without disturbing anyone.

A wedding banquet was held one at the man's home and another at the woman's home. Each has their own banquet and invites their own relatives. There was no doubt that more people came to Prince Jing's mansion to attend the banquet than Lu's family. Now, the reception hall was full of ladies and madams who came to celebrate this joyous occasion.

After Tang Shishi walked into the crowd, she stood quietly. The incense of the madams and young ladies were mixed together, the smell was overwhelming and Tang Shishi was not used to it. So she quietly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
