Chapter 266 Adding makeup
At this time, Yuan Zitong had combed her hair and was wearing a cherry pink wedding dress. She was sitting on a brocade stool, surrounded by girls who were saying auspicious words.
Seeing Yuan Ziyu and the Cui sisters enter the house, Yuan Zitong's originally expressionless face actually smiled faintly after seeing Yuan Ziyu and the other two: "Second sister, two cousins, you are here!"
All the girls knew that the two sisters of the Yuan family were not on good terms, so they did not say anything when they saw this. They just looked back and forth at both sides, looking like they were just watching the fun.
Those standing further back were whispering to each other.
"Big sister, you are very happy. Today I come to congratulate you and give you a small gift. I hope you won't mind!" Yuan Ziyu would not give anyone any chance to talk about her on such a day. As soon as she finished speaking, Qingying behind Yuan Ziyu came with a sandalwood carved flat box, bowed respectfully to Yuan Zitong, and handed the flat box to Lianqiao. Lianqiao put the flat box on the table next to Yuan Zitong and opened the lid of the flat box.
In the flat box was a pair of jade bracelets that were crystal clear and of high quality. One could tell at a glance that they were worth a fortune.
Yuan Zitong turned around to look at the bracelet, then smiled and said to Yuan Ziyu, "Thank you, second sister. I like it very much!"
"As long as big sister likes it!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile.
Afterwards, the two Cui sisters also added makeup to Yuan Zitong.
Yuan Zitong thought about the dowry Yuan Zitong had given her, and her hands hidden under her sleeves clenched into fists. This pair of jade bracelets was probably more valuable than the best jewelry in her dowry!
Although she was entering Prince Ning's Mansion this time, the Zuo family would not make things difficult for her regarding her dowry, but she was only a concubine after all, and her dowry was fixed. Besides, the dowry that Ning family left her was not much, and the Zuo family would certainly not pay for her dowry out of her own pocket. In this way, she could imagine how shabby her dowry would be!
And Yuan Ziyu gave away such a valuable item at the first sight. Yuan Zitong felt upset when she thought about it.
However, thinking about her future plans, she forced herself to smile and said to Yuan Ziyu, "Second sister, I'm getting married today. I've done things wrong before, and I apologize here. I still hope to get along with you in the future!"
Having said that, Yuan Zitong stood up and bowed to Yuan Ziyu.
Yuan Ziyou quickly dodged and said with a faint smile: "Big sister, you are too kind. Today is the auspicious day for you to get married. Let's not talk about those unhappy things. Big sister, just be a good bride!"
Yuan Zitong's heart choked, realizing that Yuan Ziyu still refused to accept her apology. She was angry in her heart, but she smiled with a slightly awkward look on her face: "Okay, then I'll listen to Second Sister. I will definitely let Second Sister see my sincerity in the future!"
Yuan Ziyu smiled but said nothing!
The bridesmaid watched from the side for a while, and seeing this, she hurriedly said, "Oh, come on, today is a big day, and we can't talk about unhappy things. We have to be happy and lively."
As he spoke, he added a lot of auspicious words to liven up the atmosphere.
Everyone then started talking again. Yuan Zitong and the two Cui sisters just smiled faintly, stood aside, and occasionally said a few words to the noble lady next to them!
Soon, a maid ran in and said, "Here it comes, here it comes, the sedan chair from the palace is here to pick up the bride!"
The bridesmaid smiled and said, "It's time to send the bride off!"
After saying that, she said a string of auspicious words and then busied herself putting the cherry pink veil on Yuan Zitong's head.
Because Yuan Zitong was just a concubine, Xuanyuan Xiao did not come. Only Xiniang and Lianqiao supported Yuan Zitong all the way from the backyard to the front yard, and in front of all the guests, they sent Yuan Zitong to the pink wedding sedan at the door.
Yuan Ziyu watched Yuan Zitong get into the wedding sedan chair and then returned to the banquet.
Yuan Ziyu's family and Madam Yuan were all seated in the main seats, accompanied by Yuan Qilei and Zuo.
Yuan Qilei said a few words of thanks, and the banquet officially began!
Most of the people who came to the banquet were Yuan Qilei's colleagues, or came because of Yuan Qifeng. As soon as the banquet started, they all raised their wine glasses to say a few words of congratulations to Yuan Qilei, and then they all smiled and rushed to talk to Yuan Qifeng.
They couldn't get close to such a high-ranking official even if they wanted to. If not now, when else would they take advantage of this opportunity to become familiar with him? Who knows, if Yuan Qifeng remembered them, they might have a bright future in the future.
Although Yuan Qifeng was a little impatient, he still responded to all of their requests. It took a long while before he felt a little more at peace.
Yuan Qi Lei was watching with envy. It was obvious that his daughter was going to marry into the palace, and he would be related to the royal family in the future. Why did these people still want to curry favor with Yuan Qi Feng?
Thinking about it, Yuan Qilei felt depressed.
"Brother, if there is anything you can't solve in the future, just tell your younger brother. Although Tong'er is not the principal wife after entering the palace, she is Prince Ning's person after all, and her words carry some weight!" Yuan Qilei deliberately spoke louder to Yuan Qifeng.
Yuan Ziyu rolled his eyes secretly when he heard this. This second uncle really took himself too seriously. She was just a concubine, how could Xuanyuan Xiao take her seriously? But the way his second uncle said this actually made him sound superior. He didn't know where his confidence came from.
Zuo Shi also couldn't stand it any longer: "Master, you've had too much to drink!"
"How could I? Absolutely not!" Yuan Qilei said, "Women, stop butting in!"
"Second brother, be careful with your words!" Yuan Qifeng frowned. If Yuan Qilei's words were to get out, it would cause a lot of trouble!
If this were to reach the emperor's ears, he would think that the Yuan family was going to take sides!
"I'm not wrong!" Yuan Qilei drank quite a lot in the toast just now and was actually a little drunk.
"Second brother, I'm afraid you've drunk a little too much!" Yuan Qifeng narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Zuo: "Please help your brother into the house to rest!"
"I didn't..." Yuan Qilei wanted to say something, but Madam Yuan said, "Lei'er, that's enough. You've drunk too much today. Go inside and rest!"
"Mother!" Yuan Qilei was indignant. He couldn't understand why Madam Yuan and Yuan Qifeng were both trying to stop him from speaking, so he angrily said, "Brother, are you jealous of me? Mother, why are you helping me? You won't even let me speak!"
As he said this, he pushed away Zuo who was trying to help him.
Seeing that someone was looking over, Yuan Qifeng's face turned cold. He stepped forward and gently pressed Yuan Qilei's sleeping point, then helped Yuan Qilei into the house.
Seeing everyone looking over, Zuo Shi hurriedly said with a smile, "My master is a little drunk, so he's going back to rest. Everyone, please don't be restrained and just eat and drink well!"
At one point, the wedding banquet was over, and Yuan Qifeng returned to Liufeng Garden. He slammed the table in anger, "My second brother is getting more and more confused!"
"Brother Feng, now that the family has split up, you'd better stop getting angry like this!" Liu advised.
"I don't want to get involved, but after all, the family is divided but the clan is not. If he continues like this, I'm afraid he will get into trouble!" Yuan Qifeng said with a sigh.
"Okay, don't think about it, go to bed early!"
