Chapter 79 Getting Married

Song Yurou's return banquet was very lively, with ten tables set up inside and outside. Not only many relatives and friends came, but also many distant relatives who were not related to her at all came.

Now that the Song Mansion has a princess, everyone is trying to curry favor with her. The old lady, with a rosy complexion and a bright spirit, sits at the head of the table, chatting with several ladies of noble titles.

There was no longer the timidity between her brows. The ladies of honor originally looked down on the Song family, but now seeing the old lady's extraordinary conversation, they really felt like talking to her.

Liang Boyan personally accompanied Song Yurou back, and the two of them walked in together holding Hao Ge'er's hand.

Most of the people who came to the banquet were surprised. Seeing Hao Ge'er calling Song Yurou "mother" all the time, they all felt that the two of them were quite compatible and got along like real mother and son.

After the meal, the old lady was so tired that she went back to rest.

Naturally, no one would ask Song Yuning to do anything now. She said a few words to Song Yurou and returned to Xuezhuxuan.

"Here is one hundred taels of silver. Keep it close to you. We are master and servant, so this is your dowry. This is your indenture, and I have prepared it for you.

I've also booked a boat back to your hometown for you. Just go to the dock in two days." Returning to the house, Song Yuning called Xuetuan over and gave her the indenture.

Xuetuan excitedly took the indenture and kowtowed to Song Yuning several times: "Thank you, Miss!"

Song Yuning waved his hand and asked her to get up and go downstairs to pack her luggage. Xuetuan served her very attentively on weekdays and did not inform the old lady in private, so Song Yuning was willing to give her this respect.

As for Xuerong, Song Yuning has no good impression of him at all.

The reason why the old lady found out that Madam Wei was still alive was because Xuerong tipped off that Ningshuang had brought back a letter from outside.

It was because of this sentence that the old lady was able to follow the clues and finally learned that Madam Wei was still alive.

Xuerong was originally the old lady's maid, and even when she was with her, she still missed her old master. Song Yuning didn't know what to say, but Xuerong had been circling around her and trying to show her courtesy these past two days.

Song Yuning knew that Xuerong wanted to follow him into Prince Xuan's mansion.

However, Song Yu would rather not take such a person with him, and sent her directly back to the old lady. The old lady understood what he meant and found someone for Xuerong on the spot.

But the next day, the old lady sent two maids, Dongzhi and Xiazhi, saying they were dowry.

These two people are not good-looking, and Dongzhi is good at massage, while Xiazhi also knows some pharmacology and is good at treating women's diseases.

Looking at the two of them, Song Yuning felt that the old lady's preparations were really thorough. Without saying anything, he accepted the two of them.

Early in the morning of November 28th, just as the sky was getting light, Lady Li, the wife of the Duke of Huguo, rushed over. She was Lady Quanfu who came to comb Song Yuning's hair. The old lady invited her personally.

Mrs. Li has both parents on both sides of the family, and she has two sons and one daughter. She is truly a blessed person. Over the years, she has also helped many brides comb their hair.

It was naturally her honor to be able to comb Princess Xuan's hair, so she immediately agreed to the old lady's request.

As soon as she arrived, Xu handed her two red envelopes with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work." Mrs. Li took them with a smile.

Song Yuning got up early in the morning and started to take a bath. After the bath, Mrs. Li came over and gently cleaned her face and combed her hair.

The so-called facial opening was to use a string to pull out all the sweat hairs on his face. Song Yuning gasped, feeling as if his face skin was about to fall off, and it was in great pain.

Mrs. Li smiled at her and said, "It does hurt a little, but that's how it is when you get married. Just bear with it and it will be fine soon."

After that, Mrs. Li began to help her put on makeup. She first lightly applied a thin layer of powder on her face, and then applied a second layer to make her skin look whiter and more delicate.

Next came the eyebrow drawing and lipstick application. Mrs. Li skillfully trimmed her eyebrows into a curved willow-leaf shape, and then painted her lips with light pink lipstick, making them look fuller and more attractive.

Several people were circling around her. Song Yuning felt a little embarrassed by their gazes, and a blush appeared on her face, but she still tried her best to cooperate with their work.

After finally finishing her makeup, Song Yuning looked at herself in the mirror and felt like a different person.

Her eyebrows are slender, her eyes are like stars, and her lips are even more moist and plump because of the lip balm.

Mrs. Li has her own way of putting on makeup. With this makeup, Song Yuning looks delicate but not coquettish, beautiful but not coquettish, and exudes a noble and elegant temperament.

Finally, she changed into the princess's wedding dress specially made by the Imperial Household Department. This dress was made of the finest silk fabric, embroidered with exquisite patterns and bright colors.

Then, Madam Li carefully placed a gorgeous phoenix crown on Song Yuning's head. This phoenix crown was inlaid with many rubies and pearls, and was made of pure gold, so it was very heavy.

Song Yuning only felt her neck cracking twice, as if it could not bear the heavy burden. She couldn't help but worry that she would be crushed into a dwarf.

After Song Yuning finished dressing up, the whole room fell silent. Song Yuning took a look and found that everyone was staring at her blankly, their eyes full of amazement.

Mrs. Li was a woman who had seen the world, so she quickly came to her senses and kept praising Song Yuning, saying nice things that made her blush.

Immediately afterwards, the door of Song Yuning's boudoir was opened and a group of people walked in, some of whom Song Yuning knew and some of whom she didn't.

When these people came in, they were all amazed by Song Yuning, and then said a lot of auspicious words. Song Yuning didn't need to answer, he just pretended to be embarrassed and lowered his head.

I don’t know how long it was before the sound of firecrackers was heard outside. Song Yuning knew that the wedding procession must have arrived.

As the place became bustling with activity, everyone in the room went to see the groom, and Yuejian also ran out in a flash.

Seeing that everyone had left, Song Yuning hurriedly asked Ningshuang to give her something to eat. She had gotten up early in the morning to dress up and make herself up, and she was still hungry.

Ningshuang smiled and said, "I've prepared everything for you, young lady." As she spoke, she brought over a small bowl of bird's nest and red date porridge, plus two or three small snacks.

Song Yuning didn't dare to eat more. He drank two mouthfuls of porridge and ate a few snacks, then asked Ningshuang to send the food out quickly.

Yue Jian came back soon and said, "Prince Xuan brought Prince Shun and two sons from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion to pick up the bride. Everyone was shocked and no one dared to stop them.

In the end, it was Prince Liang who stepped forward and helped to stop them, but I think he was deliberately letting them go. I'm afraid he couldn't hold on any longer, so I returned."

Song Yuning shook his head. Apart from Prince Shun, no one else dared to stop Xiao Yunzhan. But Prince Shun now stood on Xiao Yunzhan's side, and the result was predictable.
