Chapter 117 - 115. Leaving to Da Qi I

Third person POV

A week had passed and the dowry had been sorted out by Bai Huiqing, the day she had to leave the Xu residence had come. She woke up like usual and took a warm bath before she dressed up with a glamorous dress that came with the dower. She had to put more accessories in her hair and her body but knowing that Hong er didn't really like complicated accessories, Weisheng purposely chose simpler designed accessories.

Huayun defined Hong er's brow and put on some rouge on her cheek and lips, a little bit of eyeliner and done. At the same time Meiyun finished doing Hong er's hair, Huayun choose a few hair accessories from 10 boxes full of jewelries. They were putting the hair ornament when Meiyun noticed at the corner of the dressing table there was the white jade hair ornaments that Hong er always uses. Meiyun glanced at the dazed Hong er before she took the white jade hair ornament and slide it in her hair.

Meiyun: " Ooh la la~ Our Young Miss is the best."

Huayun: " Meiyun, can't you be more polite?"

Meiyun: " I am just too stunned by Young Miss' beauty that I don't know how to talk properly."

Huayun sighed, at the same time she agreed with Meiyun's words. Hong er could bewitch anyone just by a glance, whether it was men or women, they would fall head over heels for her. Startled by Meiyun's loud voice, Hong er looked up to the mirror and her jaw dropped when she saw her own reflection on the mirror.

Meiyun: " Look! Young Miss likes the hairstyle I made."

Huayun: " No, she likes the make-up."

Meiyun: " No, the hairstyle."

Huayun: " Make up."

While Meiyun and Huayun were bickering of who did the best job, Hong er touched the white jade hair ornament and stared at it.

Huayun: " Young Miss?"

Hong er snapped out of her mind when Huayun called her.

Huayun: " Are you okay? You have been spacing out since you woke up."

Hong er quickly retracted her hand and shook her head. But she forgot that she wore a dangling hair ornaments, the clinking sound startled Hong er. Since she has to do missions in silence, she never wore something that could cause noises, that's why she was quite surprised by the sudden noise. She chuckled by her own clumsiness.

Hong er: " Hahaha, I am okay. Just reminiscing some memories."

Without even saying it, they knew what Hong er was thinking about. Meiyun could only pat Hong er's shoulder and smiled widely.

Meiyun: " Ehehehe~"

Hong er smiled back at Meiyun then a few knocks were heard.

Maid: " Young Miss, the carriage had arrived."

Hong er: " Yes, I will be there in a second."

Hong er put on a veil and stood up from her seat. Meiyun and Huayun opened the door for Hong er, people had lined up outside her room, waiting for Hong er to show up. Sadness filled on their face, they didn't want to be separated from their sweet and beautiful Young Miss therefore all of them wanted to send her off. Maybe they could meet again but no one knows how long it'll take. Especially the soldiers and the elite forces, they wouldn't know when they would die or maybe killed in war or mission.

Hong er smiled gently and waved her hand to everyone as she walked towards the main gate. Some of them cried and some of them just sadly waved their hand back to Hong er. The line ended at the main gate and at the end of line, there were Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing with Song Tao standing behind them.

Xu Tingfeng: " Aiya~ Look at how big and beautiful my daughter is. Seeing you like this makes me not wanting to let you go."

Hong er: " Ahahaha."

Bai Huiqing: " We will catch up to you and attend the wedding ceremony, my dear. Don't worry, His Majesty will treat you kindly and lovingly. Trust mother."

Hong er: " Yes, mother."

Lu Ping: " Miss Xu, it is time."

Hong er nodded her head, she bowed to Xu Tingfeng and Bai Huiqing then she turned around and bowed to the servants.

Hong er: " Thank you for taking care of me for all these years. I can't express how much I love all of you in words. I will always remember all of you even if I had left Xu residence."

They were very touched by their Young Miss' humbleness, usually if a person said that they would always remember you, at the end of the day, they actually forget everything about you. But Hong er's a person who keeps her promise.

There was that time where she said that she would always come to visit an old grandma that she met in the slum.

Not long after, the grandma got sick and couldn't get up from her bed, Hong er took care of her and paid for her medical fees, however the grandma died a few weeks later. The grandma had no relatives nor acquaintance, therefore Hong er decided to cremate the grandma's body and the reason why Hong er took care of the grandma herself was she resembles her granny. The sight of the grandma sleeping helplessly on her bed made her recall the times where granny was sick. Then the picture of granny lying in the pool of blood haunted her again, she didn't want the same thing happen to the grandma. Every season of the year, Hong er visits granny's grave and offers her foods that she dreamed to have when she was still alive.

Then all of them kowtowed to Hong er and shouted.

All: " Our pleasure to serve Young Miss and we will always remember Young Miss in our heart even if we get old. We hope you have a great life and fortune in the future. Have a safe trip, Young Miss."

Hong er smiled brightly.

Hong er: " Uhm."

Hong er turned around and walked towards the golden carriage, she glanced at Lu Ping and smiled gently.

Hong er: " From now on, I'm counting on you, Lu Gongzi."

Lu Ping smiled back and bowed his head.

Lu Ping: " My pleasure, Miss Xu."
