119 Royal Wedding III

“Milady, how are you feeling now? Is the temperature of the water warm enough for you?” Xiaowei asked in a low voice while she scrubbed Yang Ning’s arms with the turmeric paste to clean her body, meanwhile, Yang Ning was soaking her body in the bathtub.

Since the weather is changing these days and autumn has arrived, the weather has gotten slightly chilly at night and dawn. That’s why rather than the cold water for her bath, she had prepared warm water so that she could relax while soaking her body in the water.

“Mmm! It’s perfect. I want to sleep like this.” Yang Ning let out a pleasant moan as she soaked her body in the warm water and relaxed.

She was annoyed at first when Yu Ling forcefully woke her up from her sleep. The day hadn’t broken out yet and she was forced to take a bath.

How exhausting!

Yesterday, she couldn’t sleep properly because she was feeling nervous and was wondering how things would change in her life.

It was her wedding day after all.

Not just a normal wedding but a royal wedding. How can she keep her cool when everything in her life is going to change and act as if it is nothing?

Who would have imagined that in such a short time, her whole life would turn upside down? From the forever single life of a professional archery athlete, she suddenly became a villainess in a novel and got a handsome fiance who has manhwa-like crazy visuals.

.....

Not only that, that fiance of hers is now going to become her husband. How crazy it is!

She only fell asleep past midnight because she was worried about her upcoming future. Yet they woke her up at dawn. Because of it, she was feeling sensitive about it and her body was crying out to let it rest due to exhaustion.

However, her irritation washed away and her eyes shone in surprise after seeing the arrangement for the ceremonial bath. More than a ritual, it was more like a bridal pampering bath before the royal wedding to make her look more pretty on the wedding day.

The enormous bath was made up of stone and looked like a mini swimming pool inside the bath chamber.

It was her first time using this Bath House which is situated in the backside of the Household to take a bath. According to Xiaowei, this bath house was built by Yang Luoyang’s Father, that’s why not everyone can use it for daily use and it can be used only for ceremonial baths.

The bath was filled with warm water and milk which has never been used for her baths before. There were fragrant rose petals and herbs mixed in the milk water that had been prepared for her ceremonial bath.

Not only that, there were three kinds of pastes made with natural products that will be scrubbed on her body to make her squeaky clean and look stunning on her wedding day.

So many things have been prepared for this ceremonial bath. More than the ceremonial bath, she will call it a luxury bath!

If she could, she would never get out of this bath. She wants to build a small house inside this bathhouse and stay here happily forever.

“Xiaowei, what have you been scrubbing on my back since a while ago? It smells nice.” Yang Ning remarked as she grew curious and tried to peek at Xiaowei, who was applying a paste on her back.

Xiaowei smiled at her lady’s childlike never-ending curiosity. In the past, her lady prefers to stay quiet and showed an apathetic attitude toward everything.

She never showed interest in anything nor she tried to engage in active conversations with her as she does now. How can someone stay bright and lively in the gloomy atmosphere of this household?

However, after getting better from the high fever and meeting His Highness, she has changed so much. Seeing this kind of change in her, she cannot be more pleased than this.

It’s like she has come to life once again. Her lady looks so beautiful and attractive while smiling happily.

Xiaowei smiled at her and answered with much pleasure, ” It is sandalwood paste, milady. Today you will be bathed with three kinds of pastes.” She said while applying the sandalwood paste on her skin with utmost care and gentleness.

” The ceremonial bath consists the bath with Herbal paste, Turmeric paste, and Sandalwood paste, which will make your skin glow just like fresh snow and smooth like a newborn baby,” Xiaowei said as she poured water on her back to wash off the sandalwood paste that she applied to make her skin glow.

“Is that so? I don’t know about anything else but it does smell good. It’s so pleasant.” Yang Ning said as she allowed Xiaowei to bathe her.

Before this, no one has ever assisted her while taking a bath. Since her mother passed away when she was young, she has done almost everything herself since her father couldn’t help her with many other things.

As a Father, he also has limitations while raising a daughter single-handedly. This was also one of the main reasons why he remarried.

She has always been a reserved person, that’s why she never changed her clothes in the locker room in front of the other girls or her team members.

They always teased her for being too conservative and overly sensitive about taking off her clothes in front of the other girls.

However, she cannot believe that from not changing clothes in front of the other girls, she is now being bathed by someone thoroughly.

It is all because of Yu Ling.

After she woke up as Yang Ning, she trained Xiaowei to let her take a bath herself. However, since the day Yu Ling arrived at the Yang Household, she never allowed her to take a bath herself because according to her, a noble lady shouldn’t do these kinds of menial works herself.

Moreover, after marriage, she is going to become the Crown Princess. How can she bathe herself? If she will take a bath herself, what will servants do then? It’s their job to wash her thoroughly and she shouldn’t interfere with their work.

Initially, she hated this kind of sudden change in her life and wanted to go back to her home badly. However, after getting pampered like this every day, she has gotten used to this kind of special treatment and now she feels more comfortable around Xiaowei while taking a bath.

Because of it, she started to feel like a real princess these days!

After the ceremonial bath, Xiaowei was helping Yang Ning to dress up and get ready for the wedding ceremony.

While Yu Ling was checking the gifts which will be going to the Royal Palace along with Yang Ning as her dowry gifts and was looking after the other preparations for the wedding, Xiaowei and the other two maids were dressing up Yang Ning.

Yu Ling has also called the two other maids from the royal palace who will help Yang Ning get ready and will take care of her cosmetics and hairstyle since Xiaowei is still lacking in this field.

“Xiaowei!” Yang Ning interrupted Xiaowei who was putting the white cosmetic power on her face without any restraint.

She thought that there wouldn’t be many cosmetic items in this world. However, she was surprised to see the variety of cosmetics in this world and there is almost everything that women in this world use to get ready, just like in her modern world.

“Yes, Milady!”

“Erm...Don’t you think you’re putting too much powder on my face? My face looks so white as if I am a ghost.” Yang Ning grimaced and commented while looking at her ghostly reflection in the mirror.

“Milady!” Xiaowei gasped upon hearing her inauspicious words. ” How can you say such words on an auspicious day like today?”

” You shouldn’t say such words on a day like today or bad luck will follow you for your whole life.” She said and warned her to mind her words before saying anything.

Yang Ning pursed her lips and blinked at her innocently, “Are you putting a curse on me? Why are you taking my innocent comment so far?”

Xiaowei was bewildered and panicked at her words. ” Milady, How can I do that? It wasn’t my intention. I can never wish you bad luck.”

Yang Ning chuckled to see the young girl panicking and shook her head and said, ” Relax. I was simply teasing you.”

” I know that you can never wish me bad luck. How can that be possible? You’re my savior after all.” She smiled at her.

If Xiaowei hadn’t gone against the rules of Chang Ah and Xing Bao and ran outside the household to call for a physician, she cannot imagine what would have happened that day.

Whenever she thinks about that night, she gets goosebumps. That headache was so lethal and piercing that she felt like her head was going to tear apart in two pieces.

It was such a dreadful night. She almost died for real!

Whenever she thinks about that night, she cannot believe that Zheng Liang saw her in such a miserable state.

How come she always ends up in a pathetic state when he is nearby? It’s so embarrassing.
