The wait didn’t last for long. As the week passed away, the wedding day came sooner, tearing away everyone’s anticipation of it.
With the development of the plot, now not just Feng Shufen was not the personality prone to attention, rather Li Xue, being the Crown Princess and the future Queen has also become one. The entire nation was waiting to audience them taking the vows.
And what brought the people more to the edge of anticipation was the invitation that all of them received. Although it was released as a formal notice of invitation in general to consider themselves involved and invited to the big event, it pressed all of the public to get an opportunity to be present at the venue.
But how was that even possible? The doubt was no about the money that would be incurred for inviting so many guests since everyone was well aware of the wealth both Feng family and the royals had. But the confusion was about the place.
Even though Chiboa was a relatively a small country, its population was still no joke. There was no such banquet hall in the entire country that could accommodate the whole nation together. Furthermore, there was no venue mentioned in the public invitation, which became another factor of talk in the country.
While some said that the invitation to be present in person was just a say in formal accordance, some believed that a bubble of surprise may come into picture at any moment. 𝑜𝐯𝓵xt.𝔠𝗈𝑀
And the second guess of the population was proven to be right. Just the night before, every social channel was updated with the reminder revealing the venue. But the revelation didn’t solve the confusion of the people entirely, instead it made it more clouded.
“What are you doing? This style of shadow won’t go in the best way with the design of the dress. Highlight it with a slightly shimmery shade, and that would fit perfect.” Even though Feng Yi Lan was not the one working on the make-up and the hair style of Li Xue, everything was working there on her ministrations.
Li Xue was not in the favor of the idea, feeling that the continuous involvement of Feng Yi Lan might exhaust her out of the energy which would be not good for the coming baby. But Yi Lan being Yi Lan, refused all of her reasons saying that she was full of energy and in no way, she would be getting exhausted before making sure that everything thing on her was on full perfection.
And to be honest, Li Xue was shocked to actually see her so energetic. She has been ministering around for over an hour now, but from no angle was she looking tired. Instead, she looked more and more full of energy.
“Yi Lan, she would change it as you said but before she does that, quickly finish that glass of juice kept on table. You must be feeling thirsty. Energize yourself, come on.” Li Xue said, giving a nod to the glass of juice kept on the table.
Feng Yi Lan was about to protest but when Li Xue gave a raise of brows, she resigned, accepting at once. While she made some of her conditions, she accepted some of Li Xue’s conditions as well.
Getting back near the sofa, she carefully took a seat down while her eyes not for once left the mirror where she could clearly see Li Xue’s reflection. The stylists who were present there were the best in the nation and no one could doubt their skills. But still Feng Yi Lan was not confident in them. She wanted to invite the stylists from Milan, but since Li Xue was the face of the country, under royal obligations, domestic skills were preferred to be promoted.
“Yi Lan, they are doing their best work. You don’t have to gawk at their every move like a hawk. Just drink the juice and calm down. You looked more stressed in my wedding than what you have been in yours.” When felt Yi Lan’s gaze, Li Xue said and to show her support to hjer words, Feng Yi Lan simply took her glass and slowly sipped on the fruit pulp.
After taking a sip, Feng Yi Lan shook her head and spoke “I am not stressed, darling. I just want everything to be perfect for you. And being your best friend, shouldn’t I be making sure of it?”
She said and Li Xue thought for a while before speaking, “But I did nothing during your wedding? I just attended it being a bridesmaid. Did I disappoint you?”
Feng Yi Lan paused for a while. During her wedding things were different. The arrangements were made for months and there was no chance of complaints anywhere. But Feng Yi Lan was screed that not enough arrangements were made in the case of Li Xue. Although Feng Shufen’s arrangements cannot be doubted, she didn’t want to give herself any chance to regret.
Shaking her head, Feng Yi Lan disagreed, “Who said you did nothing on my wedding, Li Xue. You did the most important thing that made my day end well. You made sure that I doesn’t make any wrong decision in my life for which I regret later.”
Li Xue would have failed to understand her words but when she saw her caressing her stomach, she understood what she was meaning with them. A small curve rose on her lips, “Did I? I don’t remember. I was just reminding you of the things that you were forgetting out of haste. In the end, you decided on your own. Also, how can I let you commit something that could push me away from my godchild. You know how much I am waiting to spoil her.”
“What spoil? I am making this clear here itself. Li Xue, when time comes you better side with me while I scold her. You are not allowed to do any otherwise.” Feng Yi Lan said and forgetting the process she was into; Li Xue rolled her eyes which immediately naked the makeup stylist hiss.
“Oops, I am sorry. I almost forgot. Li Xue humbly apologized, letting the stylist get back to her ob while she turned to look at Feng Yi Lan through the mirror to continue, “Listen to your own words, Yi Lan. Will you really plan to compete against your child? You will be her mother, and you are saying as if you are going to be the child instead.”
Feng Yi Lan hmphed and asked again, “Whatever! Just tell me you are going to side with me. Rest all, I will see.”
“No, I am not saying that because in any way I will be with my godchild. After all, if not me, on whom else will she depend. I will be her biggest supporter every time.” Li Xue said, leaving Feng Yi Lan to pout.
“Li Xue, you …”
Keeping the glass on the table, Feng Yi Lan would have argued with Li Xue, but just in time the small knock at the suite’s door interrupted her and the person who entered next surprised the two women in the room.
