Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 585: Paying a New Year’s Visit

With just one month left before reaching the age of marriage, the girl’s figure had already grown tall and slender. Thanks to her daily martial arts training and a diet rich in nourishing foods, she had a stronger and more elongated build than other girls her age.

At that moment, she was dressed in a festive red dress embroidered with silver and gold-threaded peonies, bordered with gold and silver threads, cinched at the waist with a pink purple jade belt with a silk sash hanging down, adorned with colorful bamboo patterns, and on the right side, a White Jade Pendant weighed down the hem of her dress. Beneath the dress, she wore a pair of embroidered pearl deer-skin boots, revealing just the tips.

After applying makeup to her originally delicate face, her cheeks were naturally flushed with health, her lips blossoming with a lively peach color, moist and shiny. On her forehead, she drew a lifelike peach blossom as a decorative embellishment, which added a bewitching charm and, beneath her spirited brows, were a pair of jet-black eyes shining like jewels, bright and sparkling like stars.

This was the first time Wufu had dressed up so elaborately, so the maids brought over a full-length mirror and set it in front of her. Wufu looked at herself in the mirror.

The girl in the mirror was bright and beautiful, with a smile in her eyes, a slight curve to her lips, and her head gave a slight shake, the gem-encrusted tassel pendant in her hair and the earrings swaying gently.

"Hmm, not bad, Purple Jade really has a pair of skillful hands. This ugly duckling has turned into a white swan," said Wufu, examining herself from all angles with a smile on her face.

Purple Jade replied with playful annoyance, "Miss, why belittle yourself? You are naturally pretty and would be more beautiful than many girls even without dressing up."

Wufu laughed, "That’s not right. It should be that even without dressing up, I’m a little beauty, but with dressing up, I become a great beauty!"

The maids all laughed with a puff.

Wufu, too, smiled, looking at Hongyu who had squinted with laughter and pinched her cheek, saying, "Learn more from your Sister Zi Yu. As they say, a woman dresses for the one who pleases her. Later, dress carefully to make sure your husband can’t take his eyes off you."

"Miss!" Hongyu’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she stamped her foot as she playfully scolded.

"The saying, a woman dresses for the one who pleases her, can also apply to oneself," Jadeite said with a sly smile.

Wufu didn’t blush, and with her chin slightly raised and a proud look on her face, said, "Hmm. We’ll see who has that good fortune."

These maids, so thick-skinned...

The maids couldn’t help but lose their words and laugh.

After the laughter and jesting, Qiu Xiang personally came to invite Wufu to the main hall. The servants were all waiting there to wish their master a Happy New Year. When they saw Wufu dressed up, they complimented her too.

Wufu saw that the maids were all Chief Maids and gave each of them a little goldfish as a New Year’s red envelope, which made them overjoyed, and they showered her with a string of auspicious sayings.

Accompanied by the maids, she arrived at the main hall where Madam Zhou was sipping tea. Next to her was a small basket filled with purses of different sizes, all stuffed with silver pieces to be given away as rewards.

"Wufu..." Madame Zhou saw Wufu all dressed up and was so delighted that she stood up, held her by the hands, looked her over from left to right, and said with a smile, "Good, very good. My child has grown up and should dress like this." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

In times past, it was hard to wear new clothes for the New Year, but now, as her daughter was about to reach the age of marriage and thus dressed up, she was indeed brilliant and beautiful.

"Mother, your daughter has yet to wish you a Happy New Year!" Wufu said with a beaming smile, took a step back, and Qiu Xiang placed a cushion down for her, also helping Madam Zhou to sit back down.

Only then did Wufu kneel on the cushion and respectfully kowtowed to Madam Zhou, "Daughter wishes Mother a peaceful and healthy New Year, full of luck and joy in all things."

"Good, good. Mother also wishes you peace and health, and that you may marry an Ideal Gentleman in the future," said Madam Zhou, her eyes slightly moistened. She dabbed at her eyes with a handkerchief, hastily called her to rise, and gave her an exquisitely made purse. Mother and daughter then went out together to receive the servants’ bows.
