Chapter 119: Dowry

This day passed quickly, Shui Lianyue did not come out of the Lanxiang Pavilion again, and no one came to disturb her, but the news came from the front yard, saying that the seventh lady was sick, and it was quite strict, Shui Yunheng was extremely worried, so he spent a lot of money to invite the imperial doctor in the palace to the mansion, and after a lot of work, he forgot about the gossip.

Shui Lianyue knows what the reason is, but it's a pity that Li Shanshan really tossed herself sick, and it can be seen that she is really favored by Shui Yunheng.

It was another night of tossing and turning, Shui Lianyue did not feel sleepy at all, and the next morning, the porter sent someone to pass the word, saying that it was Concubine Yun Niangniang who invited the fourth lady to enter the palace for a small talk, and the fourth lady was prepared, and she did not break it.

There was someone in the palace, Shui Yunheng naturally had to come out to meet in the house, just because it was a person sent by Concubine Yun, he didn't ask much, and ordered someone to reward the father-in-law who came to pick up the person.

Now he worked hard for the illness of the seventh lady, thinking that tomorrow would be the day she got married, and he didn't want to make anything happen at this time, so he immediately asked the eldest lady Meng Qiuhe to invite the eldest lady Meng Qiuhe, and called Shui Lianyue to the front yard.

For a while, he only cared about spoiling the five little ladies, and the water house was all taken care of by the eldest lady, although those gossips made him angry, and he couldn't wait to pick the skin of Shui Lianyue, but he was not confused about this, since King Yu was willing to send a dowry, he said that he still accepted her, and the emperor also sent a dowry in the name of his brother, what a glory this is, others marry their daughters, how have they ever seen the emperor give a dowry?

He also understands that this shows that the emperor attaches great importance to this marriage, and he no longer likes Shui Lianyue, but she will become a princess in the future, if she is dissatisfied with her mother's family, how can she secretly stumble? In addition, he had rejected King Yu's invitation before, but he was afraid that King Yu had already prejudiced him in his heart, so just in case, he still had to do enough work on the surface.

In the main hall of the front yard, a maid brewed tea and brought it in, Shui Lianyue stood quietly aside, Meng Qiuhe and Shui Yunheng sat on the upper position in the center, half a ring, Shui Yunheng took a sip of tea, sighed lightly, looked at Shui Lianyue and said seriously: "As the saying goes, the female is not staying, tomorrow is your wedding day, after marrying to the palace, you must restrain your cold temperament, at home, for the father can bear you, if you go to the palace, you will still be like this, when the time comes, you will suffer and suffer, and you have to swallow it yourself."

"Yes, my daughter wrote it down", Shui Lianyue hung her head, bent down slightly and saluted, but replied indifferently.

Shui Yunheng looked at her arrogant posture, anger suddenly burst out, and just about to have a seizure, he suddenly remembered his plan, immediately stabilized his feelings, squeezed out a smile and looked at Meng Qiuhe and said, "Qiuhe, how is Yue'er's dowry prepared?" Although she is a concubine, she is a legitimate princess when she marries, don't be wronged Yue'er, Ang."

As soon as Shui Yunheng spoke, not to mention that Shui Lianyue was very surprised, even Meng Qiuhe was stunned, her mind turned a thousand times, and she instantly recovered her good state, and said with a gentle smile: "Old man, look at what you said, although Yue'er is a concubine, but the concubine regards the daughters in the house as her own, if it is true, in the eyes of the concubine, there is never a distinction between concubines, Yue'er can marry the prince, that is her blessing, but the dowry sent by the emperor and the prince is full of twenty boxes, we will not lose Yue'er, but."

Meng Qiuhe hesitated for a moment and didn't continue, Shui Yunheng quickly understood after Meng Qiuhe's prompt, the emperor and the prince's dowry of twenty boxes, if Shui Lianyue marries, at least twenty boxes, even if it is high, although the Shui family has a lot of money, even if the thirty boxes of dowry are not much, but they are all given to Shui Lianyue, there is always a little imbalance in his heart.

Thinking like this, the surface still has to pretend, at the moment, Shui Yunheng glared at Meng Qiuhe fiercely and shouted: "In the woman's opinion, you also said that you don't distinguish between concubines in your eyes, Yue'er is my biological daughter, and her marriage is naturally the scenery of Shuifu, why do you care about the amount of marriage, besides, when my daughter marries, how can I, as a father, be stingy?"

Meng Qiuhe hurriedly catered to Shui Yunheng's words, nodded yes, and looked at Shui Lianyue with a charitable smile: "Yue'er, look at how much the master loves you, don't just care about enjoying happiness when you marry into the palace in the future, but also be more filial to your father, Ang."

Shui Yunheng seemed to be very satisfied with Meng Qiuhe's words, and then said to Meng Qiuhe: "Wait a minute, I will ask Lao Zhang to pull back thirty big boxes and thirty silk horses from the shop, you take the key to the warehouse, and pick out the best one for Yue'er as a dowry, she will soon be a relative of the emperor, and the use of accessories is naturally not the same as ordinary people, you can't be sloppy."

Meng Qiuhe chuckled in her heart, Shui Yunheng's words hit her heart like a huge stone, making her feel distressed, but she had to nod and agree with a smile.

She thought that Shui Yunheng would not pay attention to Shui Lianyue, but unexpectedly, she would personally arrange a dowry for her today, and all of them should be the best, thirty pieces of silk? Thirty boxes of dowry? It's a shame that Shui Yunheng can figure it out, but marrying a lowly concubine daughter is even more extravagant than marrying a concubine, which really makes her breath blocked in her heart, unable to breathe out, unable to swallow.

Afterwards, Shui Yunheng briefly explained a few words to Meng Qiuhe, and after saying a few words to Shui Lianyue, he hurriedly got up and walked towards the residence of the Seventh Lady.

Although he hoped that the five little ladies could conceive his heirs, he loved the seventh lady from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Shui Yunheng out of the front yard, Shui Lianyue didn't want to stay in the front yard, and said lightly to Meng Qiuhe: "If the eldest lady is fine, I'll go back first", after finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to go out, and before he could take a step, he only heard Meng Qiuhe sneer: "You really have the ability, and in a blink of an eye, you can let the master pour out a dowry for you without hesitation, but don't forget, even if you marry the palace, you will be an unfavored princess after all."

Shui Lianyue turned around slowly, and she didn't take Meng Qiuhe's sudden change of attitude to heart at all, she glanced at Meng Qiuhe lightly, and said softly: "If you are not favored, you will not worry about the eldest lady, but if you are not favored, I am also in the position of a genuine princess, I heard that the eldest lady has been talking about relatives everywhere for the marriage of the second sister for a while, but I think that the side concubine is not something that anyone can be."

She said very lightly, but it was a big irony in Meng Qiuhe's ears, she gritted her teeth, tried her best to endure it, and then remembered something, and suddenly said with a smile: "Well, that Yue'er must keep the position of the princess, I heard that this morning, King Yu brought back a woman from outside the city, but I didn't expect that the dignified prince would be a coachman, personally driving a carriage for her, I heard that before the palace, he personally carried her out of the car, that cautious appearance tsk."
