Cunning General Si Ning

Chapter 192 - A Deity

It was quite surprising to Si Ning that he was able to sleep and when he woke up it was all written on his face that he didn't welcome Ah Dai coming in to wake him up at dawn but he was too sleepy to complain yet he was only able to put on a scowl while he drowns out Ah Dai panicked fast movement and speech about how Si Ning's eyes were swollen while Yang Sheng who was standing beside Ah Dai seemed to be in a dilemma watching Ah Dai's confused movement.

It was like Si Ning was walking on air when he was led into the bathroom, everything was well arranged including a series of new beauty bathing materials and Si Ning was still able to remember he doesn't like anyone bathing it but because it was his wedding day, Ah Dai refused to leave and helped him to wash his back, then proceed to start pedicure and manicure after Si Ning was out of the bath.

Si Ning always took good care of his hands and his thin long fingers Ah Dai was holding while he worked, clipping the nails to perfection almost compelled him to kiss the hand but Ah Dai in his heart knew he mustn't dare, he admired the Young Master wholeheartedly and knew that his Young Master was so beautiful and brilliant that the Emperor was lucky to have him.

Taking a bath was supposed to wake a person up but Si Ning was different because him trying to still sleep was his means to escape a little and not think of his wedding which was going to make him nervous and being nervous was one thing he wanted to avoid, all he was interested in was looking elegant and confident that Xiu Zhicheng would even be surprised.

When Ah Dai was done with the short beauty routine, he led Si Ning back to his room. Si Ning wore the inner attire Ah Dai brought for him and after a series of servants came in with his ceremonial robe which was scarlet red, a large dragon pattern which seemed to be wrapped around the robe was embroidered with gold and Si Ning's eyes widened at how regal the robe was and he thought it was the only robe he would wear until the other servants started to straighten out the other inner wears they brought in and Si Ning ended up in three layered of cloth while the outer dragon robe was on top which had shoulder pads to make his shoulders straight, it was quite amazing how the floor was covered with the robe and Ah Dai was careful enough not to step on it when he approached to do his hair.

When Si Ning was still an Actor, the hair was the first thing the makeup artist would do but Ah Dai always do his hair last.

"Young Master, Ah Dai has been practicing this hairstyle for a month now and Ah Dai hopes Young Master will like it because Ah Dai told the best beautician in Xiu that Young Master only allows Ah Dai to touch his hair that is why I want to style Young Master's hair."

Si Ning nodded as his approval for Ah Dai to go ahead, he was already used to not treating Ah Dai like a man that only had a good hand so he just sat and relaxed because he had always liked the simple hairstyle with a touch of extravagant Ah Dai do make for him, he watched as Ah Dai removed his gloves and replaced them with a dark thin gloves and just like a speed of lighting he started applying series of the hair mix products he spent a month making while combing out the hair in a way that not a strand of Si Ning's long hair touch his robe and Si Ning was a bit confused because he didn't feel a thing which made him wonder if Ah Dai was styling his hair or if he had just been sitting for minutes without any progress but before he could ask when they would be done, he felt a little weight on his neck and Ah Dai removed his gloves to start applying makeup on his Master's face. 

It was relaxing the way Ah Dai worked that Si Ning started to feel sleepy but Ah Dai was done in no time and then Yang Sheng held a mirror for Si Ning to look at his reflection.

"Oh." That was the only unintelligible sound Si Ning made when he found himself staring at the perfect version of his face he had ever seen. His eyes widened as his mouth parted slightly not finding a thing to say.

The hair which was neatly packed into a ponytail while to strand dropped at the edge just beside Si Ning's ears, two strands of hair at a side with an inch space between with series of golden round small like beads which was also packed with the ponytail while the other had only a strand of hair with also had the series of golden beads also pulled with the ponytail, it was a simple hairstyle and nothing was feminine about it but the way the hair was neat and smooth while the edges were styled showed that the hairdo required a lot of perfection. A large golden diadem was used as a small crown holding the ponytail while a large dragon hairpin was inserted into the middle to hold the ponytail in place, this hairdo reveal Si Ning's face and his lips which was rosy only needed a bit of rouge to make it darker and fuller, his eyes were lined which made his peach blossom eyes to look wide, he was still amazed by how he looked that he just watched as Ah Dai started clipping ears with dazzling series of golden ear clips, one ear with a single thin golden chain almost reaching his shoulder sparkled, all that Ah Dai did was simple but it was amazing.

Si Ning thought they were done but Ah Dai started clipping lots of golden accessories on the cloth, a dragon brooch clipped just at the left, then he took Si Ning's hand and inserted just one jade ring on the first finger then he wore jade bangles on Si Ning's hand but Si Ning shook his hands to show he wasn't comfortable wearing bangles when he wasn't a woman. Ah Dai removed it and replaced it with a golden hand chain, it was already bright outside.

"General."

Just by Xiao Pei's call, Si Ning knew it was time and Ah Dai also stepped back and quickly helped Si Ning into his shoes. When Si Ning stood up and turned he heard some of the servants present gasped in wonder before falling to their knees like they were in the presence of some deity but nothing about the attire was ambiguous.

"Long live King Consort." They chorused.

It was the first time Si Ning noticed they were dressed neatly that he hardly recognize that those before him were the manservants of his Jasmine palace. Yang Sheng was dressed too and only Ah Dai seemed to be in his casual robe.

Xiao Pei also fell on his knees and bowed while Ah Dai did the same. Si Ning started heading out when he stopped because he noticed Ah Dai wasn't coming.

"Ah Dai." Si Ning called.

"Yes, Young Master." Ah Dai ran out and fell on one knee.

Si Ning wanted Ah Dai to follow him like he used to but seeing his face which was beaded with sweat and how his robe was stained with cream, he knew Ah Dai would be staying. "Ah Dai when you are done cleaning up I want you to come to the ceremony."

Just hearing this made Ah Dai speechless as tears willed up his eyes, because of his hand he had planned not to go just to avoid trouble even though most wouldn't know he had lost an arm but he doesn't want to be an eyesore but just as he expected, his Master doesn't mind and wants him at the wedding, a tear dropped as he watched Si Ning leaving like a mother who was watching their daughter leaving their home to get married.

The moment Si Ning stepped out to see a sedan chair, all the people presence processed to fall on their knees to kowtow. Si Ning also elegantly walked up to the transport without taking note of the elegant untouchable vibe he was spreading around because he looked like a god meant to be worshipped, he stopped in front of his three Commanders.

"Su Heng, wait here and bring Ah Dai with you." Si Ning instructed, he doesn't know where Ah Dai and Ji Ran stand so to relieve Ah Dai from being awkward, he told Su Heng to stay instead of Ji Ran.

"Yes General." Su Heng nodded.

Si Ning saw that Ji Ran reveal no emotion so he moved and comfortably sat in the sedan chair and before long they arrived at the open space where the ceremony would take place.
