「Within Lingxin Hall in the Zhou Royal Palace.」
A woman in a wedding dress sat before a silver mirror as Maids from the Imperial Palace attended to her hair and makeup.
"How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world?"
Empress Dowager Yan stood beside her clanswoman, growing more pleased the longer she looked.
Moreover, this clanswoman of hers was exceptionally well-read, possessed of a scholarly air.
The only downside was that Ruxue could not cultivate.
Otherwise, Empress Dowager Yan felt she would have done everything in her power to send Ruxue to an academy to cultivate.
Nearly an hour later, Chief Eunuch Huang bowed to Empress Dowager Yan. "Empress Dowager, we have finished preparing Miss Yan."
"Come, come, let me have a good look."
Empress Dowager Yan walked forward and helped Yan Ruxue to her feet, holding the young woman's soft, supple arms in both hands.
"Beautiful, truly beautiful."
