The elaborate and heavy ceremonial costumes required at least two people's assistance to dress properly.
Li Hongyuan, dressed in a black robe adorned with dark gold embroidery, matched with cloud boots, a golden crown on his head, his narrow waist and broad shoulders, and his slender figure, unparalleled in his grace.
After he dressed up, he turned to see Jiang Ning sitting in front of the mirror, starting to comb her hair.
Usually, she found the process tedious and the hair bun heavy. When she didn't go out, she let her hair down, only tying up half of it.
However, for her to wear the crown, she must tie up all her long hair.
Moreover, the Phoenix coronet, inlaid with gold, gemstones, and pearls, would make her head extremely heavy.
Watching Huang Ying and Xiachu tying her hair layer by layer, and seeing the palace maid bringing the Phoenix coronet, Li Hongyuan spoke, "Huang Ying, let the Princess Consort have breakfast first. She can put on the coronet later."
