Chapter 547 Enjoy this moment, you deserve it!
Gu Qingyue, dressed in a plain-colored dress, with a slender and exquisite figure, and her long black hair styled into a simple double bun, walked slowly in, bathed in the morning light.
The warm morning light cast a bright golden glow on her fair face, making her appear as if she were bathed in a soft, flowing halo, like a celestial maiden, pure and ethereal!
Everyone was stunned for a moment!
Gu Qingyue looked around and saw that the area below the round platform was already full of people. She couldn't help but smile faintly.
Everyone watched Gu Qingyue's figure quietly, some with gentle smiles, some with joy and warmth, some with tears of happiness, and some with eyes as deep as the sea, love flowing quietly in their eyes.
The three Gu brothers, Mu Yun Chu, Rong Qing Qing, Zhang Xu Bai, Zhang Qing Xuan, Qin Fang, Liu Feng, Xiao Nian, Nian Yu Wei, and Old Lu, along with Uncle Song and the Wen Qing Hong brothers who came from the Moon Shadow Pavilion base.
Of course, Gu Qingyue also didn't expect Mo Shaoshang and Mo Xiaoliu to come.
There weren't many people, but the atmosphere was warm and cozy, making Gu Qingyue feel warm and gentle inside.
Gu Qingyue was helped onto the round platform by Zhu Qing.
"Thank you all for attending my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. Yue'er, come here."
With a smile, Madam Qin took Gu Qingyue's hand and made her kneel on the felt mat in the center of the round platform, facing east. Madam Qin then gently began to undo and loosen Gu Qingyue's hair behind her.
Her eyes sparkled like stars as she murmured, "On this auspicious day of this month, you are formally dressed. Cast aside your childish ways, embrace your virtuous ways. May you live a long and blessed life..."
After she finished reading, Gu Qingyue's hair was combed back up and adorned with a plain-colored hairpin.
Gu Qingyue felt a pang of sadness at Qin's blessing. She tried to suppress her emotions and clenched her fists.
It wasn't until Zhu Qing helped her to the room where she was changing clothes that she managed to suppress the tears welling up in her eyes.
If the original owner were still here...
She'll probably cry tears of happiness!
"Master, are you unhappy?" Zhu Qing couldn't help but ask tentatively from the side.
She noticed from the round platform that Gu Qingyue was trying hard to suppress her emotions, as if she had something on her mind.
"Happy! I'm so happy!"
"But... is Master unhappy because he feels there aren't enough guests today?"
If this were in Beijing, everyone would definitely come to participate, and it would be a very lively event!
At least, Miss Cui and Miss Zhao will come to keep you company, Master…
Zhu Qing rambled on for a while, but also felt very regretful.
If this were in the capital, the pomp and circumstance would be enormous, with sons and daughters of prominent families and their wives all coming to congratulate their master.
Hearing this, Gu Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her hand and pinched Zhu Qing's cheek. "On the contrary, I really like today's coming-of-age ceremony. It's not about the number of people, but about their sincerity."
She believed that everyone who came today would sincerely wish her well.
"Ah Yue," Mu Yun Chu's voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.
"Why are you here?" Gu Qingyue was surprised. This was where she changed clothes. Why did Mu Yun Chu come here?
"Your Highness Prince Li," Zhu Qing said, taking a few steps back and curtsying upon seeing Mu Yun Chu.
"You seem to be in a bad mood?" Mu Yun Chu looked at her with concern.
"You go out first, I need to say a few words to A-Yue," Mu Yun Chu gestured for Zhu Qing to leave.
Once only the two of them were left in the room, Mu Yun Chu pulled her into his arms without saying a word, holding her tightly.
"what happened to you?"
"It's nothing, just a little sad. If she were still here..."
Gu Qingyue spoke softly.
"There are no 'what ifs,' Yue, don't let your mind wander. She will never be you, and you are not her. You are your father and mother's daughter now, so enjoy this moment. You deserve it!"
Mu Yun Chu spoke with unwavering conviction and without any hesitation.
The time travel was accidental, and A-Yue was not in control of her own destiny; she did nothing wrong!
Besides, Ah Yue has put in so much effort along the way, and she has a clear conscience towards the Gu family!
Mu Yun Chu's protectiveness warmed Gu Qing Yue's heart, and she smiled.
She had just momentarily lost her mind. She kept thinking about the original owner's tragic fate, especially what Master Liaochen said: she was the cause, and the original owner was the effect.
I always feel like I've let her down.
She was actually powerless to control her own destiny!
Composing herself, she quickly shooed Mu Yun Chu out, as everyone was waiting for the second gift ceremony!
She needs to change her clothes now.
When she changed back into a plain-colored ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and came to the courtyard, it was time for the second round of greetings.
Two plus, three plus.
After the three additions, Gu Qingyue standing on the stage had completely changed.
The woman wore a bright pink wide-sleeved gown, her delicate beauty resembling a newly blossoming lotus. She wore a long red jade hairpin in her hair and red jade earrings, her beauty was breathtaking and unparalleled.
Qin Shi and Gu Changling looked at their daughter, who had grown into a young woman, and couldn't help but tear up again.
"Moon," Qin's voice rang out.
Looking at the loving gazes of Madam Qin and Gu Changling, Gu Qingyue gently knelt before them, her face respectful.
"My son, today is your coming-of-age ceremony. From this day forward, you should be careful in your words and deeds, filial to your parents at home, loving to your siblings, and dignified, gentle, humble, and kind to others in public. In the future, as a wife and mother, you should also be a good wife and mother, virtuous and kind... I..."
Qin's voice trembled slightly, "May my son be safe, healthy, happy and carefree from now on, then we can rest assured."
As she spoke, Madam Qin finally couldn't hold back her tears.
Gu Changling held her hand tightly, suppressing his emotions, and said, "Yue'er, from now on, do what you want to do and walk the path you want to walk. Just let us know that you are safe and well."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue felt a pang of sadness and her eyes reddened.
She straightened her skirt, bowed her head, and said, "I will never forget my parents' teachings and instructions. My greatest wish is for my father and mother to be healthy and worry-free every year."
"Get up," Gu Changling said, helping Gu Qingyue to her feet.
Gu Qingyue felt a mix of emotions. She suddenly thought of the original owner of the body and her parents from her previous life.
In an instant, his eyes reddened even more.
Congratulations on Yue'er's coming-of-age ceremony!
Gu Yuanjin, Gu Yuanchen, and Gu Yuanen immediately gathered around when they saw the ceremony was complete.
Seeing everyone's smiling faces, Gu Qingyue suppressed the bitterness rising in her heart and put on a smile herself.
At this moment, Old Master Lu, Rong Qingqing, Uncle Song, and Wen Qinghong also gathered around, all smiling with their eyes crinkled, congratulating Gu Qingyue on her coming-of-age ceremony.
Gu Qingyue smiled and answered each question, even patting Xiao Nian's head, just like she had done after she first saved him.
"Sister, you've grown up, and I'll grow up quickly too!"
Xiao Nian laughed happily and patted his chest, looking at him with an expression that said, "Just wait and see, he'll grow up soon," which made everyone burst into laughter.
In the crowd, Nian Yuwei raised her hand to cover her lips, smiling through her tears as she looked at Xiao Nian.
