Chapter 253: The Tree and the Jade Pool (2 / 2)
Xu Yanmiao woke up excitedly. He excitedly washed up. Then, he excitedly sat in front of the mirror to dress himself.
He carefully combed his hair, making sure that every strand was perfectly neat and smooth.
Finally, he put on an inner robe of pale moon-white silk, followed by a deep black ceremonial robe adorned with crimson brocade trim at the sleeves and hem.
[La la la!]
[La la la!]
Humming an unknown tune, he tied a crimson sash around his waist, slipped on dark cloth shoes, and secured his long hair with a red silk ribbon. His entire presence burned like a flame.
[Calm down! No more “la la la”!]
[I’m an adult now! I have to be mature and composed!]
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yanmiao gently smoothed his robes in front of the bronze mirror, checking for any imperfections. Once he was sure everything was in order, he strode out of his room and climbed into the carriage that had arrived to take him to the ceremony.
