Chapter 76: Everyone's Appearance

After the Song family sent away the eunuch who announced the decree, the whole family stood there in a daze, with very complicated expressions on their faces.

They looked at the imperial edict in their hands, then looked at Song Yuning who was calmly drinking tea, and for a moment they didn't know how to deal with this sudden change.

In the end, it was the old lady who came to her senses first, her eyes sparkling with surprise and joy.

He looked at Song Yuning excitedly and said, "The principal wife? Princess Xuan! I never thought that our Song family would have a princess! This is really great, a great thing!"

As she spoke, the old lady shook off the people who were supporting her and knelt down towards Song Yuning. Following her kneeling, Song Hongzhi and the others also knelt down.

"Your servant pays her respects to Princess Xuan." The old lady's voice was full of excitement and pride, and she kowtowed respectfully to Song Yuning.

Song Yuning didn't take it seriously. He bent down and helped the old lady up, then said to Song Hongzhi and the others, "Father, you all get up."

The old lady held Song Yuning's hand, trembling with excitement: "Okay, okay!"

Then the old lady turned to Song Hongzhi and instructed him, "Song Hongzhi, go open the ancestral hall immediately and register Yuning's name under the Xu family name.

No, not only that, even Yuyan and the others' names will be registered under Xu. From today on, they are all legitimate daughters."

Of the five golden flowers, four have now married, and three of them have married into wealthy families. Their Song family is finally about to rise.

Song Hongzhi nodded as if waking up from a dream, his hands holding the imperial edict tightly trembling slightly.

Although Song Yuyan had married into the royal family and became the prince's concubine, she was only a concubine after all, and her status was relatively low.

However, now, Song Yuning is the real princess, and the principal wife of the Seventh Prince. In this way, as Song Yuning's father, he has become the Seventh Prince's legitimate father-in-law. Thinking of this, Song Hongzhi couldn't help but feel an irrepressible excitement in his heart.

"Yes! Son will go right away." Song Hongzhi answered excitedly, holding the imperial edict tightly in his hands, and ran out impatiently.

His steps were a little flustered, and he almost tripped over the threshold. He stumbled a few steps, barely steadied himself, ran out the door, and soon disappeared.

Looking at Song Hongzhi's departing back, the old lady seemed to suddenly think of something important. She turned around quickly and walked back in a hurry.

He kept muttering to himself, "Hurry up and open the warehouse. I want to see what good things are in the warehouse.

The dowries of the previous princesses were all 120 pieces. Naturally, the dowry of our Song family's daughter must be no less. I have to take a good look at it and prepare it quickly. "After saying this, she hurriedly left the hall.

As the two of them left, Song Yurou and Song Yuyao immediately surrounded Song Yuning, circling around her curiously and observing her carefully.

Song Yuning sighed helplessly, then sat down on the chair dignifiedly, smiled and said to them: "Okay, if you want to know anything, just ask directly."

Song Yurou asked first: "Have you known Prince Xuan for a long time? And you were canonized as the princess, did you know about this a long time ago?"

Song Yuning nodded slightly and answered frankly: "Yes, Prince Xuan and I knew each other when we were five years old, but we lost contact later for some reasons.

It wasn't until I returned to the Song Mansion that we became familiar with each other again. As for the matter of conferring the title of princess, I did know about it in advance."

Song Yuyao sighed repeatedly: "Sister Nine, you hid it so well that we didn't even notice it.

Also, I was trying to match you up with cousin Xu Hui before, but I never expected that you would become Princess Xuan."

Now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, Song Yuning no longer needs to hide it, so he briefly recounts what happened with Xiao Yunzhan. Song Yurou and Song Yuyao both still looked as if they were dreaming, feeling it was extremely mysterious.

Song Yuning smiled and looked at them both, her eyes full of sincerity and kindness: "Even though I became Princess Xuan, I am still the same as you. We are all one family, no one can differentiate between us.

We are all in this together, and we will rise and fall together. The five of us must stick together. As for other things, you don't have to worry too much. Just understand that I am still the same me you are familiar with. That's enough."

Song Yurou and Song Yuyao looked at each other, and then smiled with relief.

The sense of restraint that had originally been brought about by the sudden imperial decree disappeared with this smile.

"You're right. After all, the five of us must always unite." Song Yurou said with emotion.

She was always worried that she would be bullied by her mother-in-law or looked down upon by others after marrying into the Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion.

However, now all her worries had vanished into thin air. One of her sisters had become the prince's concubine, and the other had become his principal wife. As long as Lady Pingyuan was still alive, she would never easily make things difficult for her.

Song Yuyao also smiled and said, "That's good. From now on, I won't be afraid of my grandmother interfering in my marriage.

Ninth sister, I leave my future life in your hands. You must find a good husband for me."

Song Yuning patted Song Yuyao's head and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."

The three sisters stayed together and chatted for a long time as before before dispersing.

After the imperial edict came down, everyone in the Song Mansion changed their attitude towards her. They became respectful but also a little fawning, especially those around her.

Nanny Chen was the housekeeper assigned to her by the old lady. She had served her wholeheartedly before, but Song Yuning did not plan to bring her into the palace.

There are also Xuetuan and Xuerong, whom Song Yuning does not plan to bring with him. Xuerong is the old lady's man and has been informing the old lady of the news in private.

As for Xuetuan, she served Song Yuning wholeheartedly, but she always wanted to redeem herself.

She didn't want to be a slave all her life. She had this idea in mind. In the past few years, she had served Song Yuning wholeheartedly, so Song Yuning was naturally willing to help her.

Before Song Yuning was about to get married, she returned Xuetuan's indenture contract to her, gave her some money, and sent her back to her hometown.

She only needed to bring Ningshuang and Yuejian with her to marry into the palace, and she didn't plan to bring any of the others.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for many people, but Song Yuning slept well. When he woke up early the next morning, his face was rosy and he was full of energy.

Song Yuyan and Song Yuru came back just after breakfast. Not long after they arrived, the wife of Pingyuan Hou also came to visit.

Now the old lady was truly confident. She called Song Yuning over and put on a good show in front of the wife of Marquis Pingyuan.

Things are different now. I don’t know what the wife of Pingyuan Hou is thinking, but she is indeed very respectful on the surface, letting the old lady act like an elder.
