Chapter 92: The Dowry
Xuanyuan Zichen didn't struggle, he really let Shen Liuyue play with his hand, his eyes were full of smiles, and he was very fond of Shen Liuyue.
Xuanyuan Zichen went to the Prime Minister's Mansion that afternoon, and Shen Xiuqi was full of scenery, and he didn't hide much in front of Xuanyuan Zichen. His eldest daughter is about to marry the Seven Sages King, Xuanyuan Zichen estimates that he should be proud of the spring breeze recently, right?
"The Prime Minister looks in a good mood? But what's the good thing? Xuanyuan Zichen smiled, there was no movement in his eyes, he just looked at Shen Xiuqi and asked, his voice was faint, which only made people feel a little scheming.
"The Seven Sages King said with a smile, the old minister is what it means to welcome the prince." Knowing Xuanyuan Zichen's strange temper, Shen Xiuqi was also afraid that he would be unhappy if he didn't say a word, and every word he said was very rigorous.
"Oh? That's ......" Xuanyuan Zichen took the cup in his hand and played with it, but he never drank it, his eyes drooped slightly, making people a little unable to see the expression in his eyes, and some couldn't grasp his thoughts.
Shen Xiuqi has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is good at observing words and colors, but in front of Xuanyuan Zichen, he always feels that he has no bottom in his heart and is a little unsure.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Zichen didn't speak, Shen Xiuqi hesitated a little, and asked cautiously, "What do you have to say when the prince comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion today?" β
Xuanyuan Zichen came back to his senses slightly, and opened his mouth to answer his words, "This king has his leisure today, and he brought the dowry to the Prime Minister, can the Prime Minister take a look?" β
Shen Xiuqi had been paying attention to Xuanyuan Zichen's complexion, he could see it clearly, the smile in Xuanyuan Zichen's eyes was genuine when he said this sentence again, especially when he said the word "dowry".
Shen Xiuqi had a smile on his face, and he didn't have time to speak.
"Come on, bring in the dowry!"
Shen Xiuqi's face was a little stiff, he didn't expect Xuanyuan Zichen to give him such face. There was a little uneasiness in his heart, compared to the past, he didn't pay much attention to Shen Liuyue's eldest daughter, there was no mother, and he didn't pay attention to it, Shen Liuyue's life in the Prime Minister's Mansion should be a little difficult.
However, Shen Xiuqi didn't care, Mu Liuxi didn't give him face as a husband, and he didn't embarrass Shen Liuyue, he just ignored her It's already very good, and Shen Liuyue is also very angry.
In Shen Xiuqi's heart, Shen Qingyue is his good daughter, she has a good appearance and a very transparent mind, Shen Xiuqi spent a lot of money to cultivate Shen Qingyue, he has always let Shen Liuyue go, but he never expected that the first person to marry the royal family would be Shen Liuyue, not Shen Qingyue, who he cultivated wholeheartedly.
It was because he didn't care much about Shen Liuyue, Shen Xiuqi didn't know if Shen Liuyue had a grudge against him, and at this time, he couldn't figure out what Xuanyuan Zichen was thinking.
Xuanyuan Zichen gave the order, and the people brought in the boxes of the carriage outside one by one, and the yard was half full, and there were still people who continued to move inside, and Shen Xiuqi's eyelids jumped when he saw it.
The Zhu family and Shen Qingyue were very separated today, and the two of them waited on the side without saying a word, quiet as chickens.
At this time, seeing these dowry gifts moving in and out one box after another, Shen Qingyue's eyes were a little red, and she was jealous of Shen Liuyue's good life with the handkerchief in her hand.
She has spread rumors, and the people outside say that Shen Liuyue is not a good girl who runs in the Xianwang Mansion all day long...... It stands to reason that the Seven Sages should not be disgusted with her? Who knew they would be getting married next month? The drama she and Xuanyuan Chuyun worked so hard to set up not only did not shake the feelings of the Seven Sages King for Shen Liuyue, but made them get married earlier?
Zhu's complexion was also a little bad, and the one given by Xuanyuan Zichen reminded her of Mu Liuxi back then, and the scenery in this capital is also infinite, just like Shen Liuyue today.
"I'm afraid this dowry is too much?" Shen Xiuqi thought twice and asked, and secretly observed Xuanyuan Zichen's complexion while asking.
"Not much." Xuanyuan Zichen's eyes fell on the dowry outside, his eyes were full of warmth, and when he mentioned the dowry, his voice finally had more warmth, "Time is in a hurry, and this king still feels that these dowries are less." β
"It is a blessing for Liuyue to be able to marry the prince." Shen Xiuqi said with joy on his face, wanting to compliment Xuanyuan Zichen.
But he never thought that Xuanyuan Zichen's face softened a little, "The Prime Minister laughed, it is the blessing of this king to be able to marry Qingqing." β
Xuanyuan Zichen's attention and concern for Shen Liuyue was undisguised, only making people feel a little jealous.
Shen Xiuqi's face stiffened, Xuanyuan Zichen had an opinion on him, this was Shen Xiuqi's real feeling, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but when he thought of how he treated Shen Liuyue in the past, he couldn't say anything, and even the dissatisfaction in his heart dissipated.
He has a weak heart.
"Lord Wang, they have all been brought in."
"Well, step aside." Xuanyuan Zichen responded and motioned for his subordinates to retreat.
"Subordinates obey." The subordinates saluted, and all of them withdrew.
"This is the king's dowry, the prime minister take a good look." Xuanyuan Zichen's eyes were faint, and they fell on Shen Xiuqi's body, which only made Shen Xiuqi's heart tremble.
Xuanyuan Zichen said it so easily, but it really took a lot of thought for him to get these things, and it cost a hundred taels to paint the picture of the evening of the sunset, and it was easy to just spend silver.
Shadow One's last mission was in the Golden Branch Country, because Xuanyuan Zichen got the news that there was a world pearl in the world so far, and Shadow One was for it.
Because Xuanyuan Zichen thought that his little girl deserved the best in the world, even if Shen Liuyue wanted his life, I am afraid that Xuanyuan Zichen would be able to present the knife with his own hands.
Xuanyuan Zichen's emotion was earlier than Shen Liuyue's.
In the past, he just wanted to protect Shen Liuyue and protect her before he went to the emperor to ask for the holy decree, but after getting along for a long time, there seemed to be something else involved in this simple protection.
Some people say that it is always harder to see through one's own mind than through other people's, and it seems to be true.
Thinking about it now, Xuanyuan Zichen can't tell when he fell in love with the little girl, and he didn't know what to do, and he was in love all the time. He didn't talk much, but he wanted to find the best in the world for the little girl, because she deserved it.
In the past, Shen Liuyue was chubby, everyone said she was ugly, Xuanyuan Zichen didn't think so, he didn't think it from the first time he saw her, but he thought it was very cute. On the street, Shen Liuyue took the initiative to come up and ask for help, and at that time, it was for the sake of the old man's face to save her.
In the past, he was only a bystander, Shen Liuyue messed around with him, he just protected her name at a critical moment, but that time the little girl took the initiative to come up, Xuanyuan Zichen couldn't remember what he was thinking at the beginning, and when he reacted, he had already admitted that it was his fiancΓ©.
When he called Shen Liuyue Qingqing for the first time, Xuanyuan Zichen's heart was unmoved, and later, I don't know when he moved his mind.
This is the first time that Xuanyuan Zichen has been so breathless, and he wants to marry her earlier and let her take her surname.
Maybe it's because the little girl is getting more and more delicate now, and there are more and more people who think about her, so I can't sit still.
It turned out that he Xuanyuan Zichen was also afraid.
ββ¦β¦ The prince bothered. Shen Xiuqi looked at the rare treasures in the courtyard, and was a little speechless for a while, and it took a long time to squeeze out such a sentence, Xuanyuan Zichen didn't respond to his words, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing for a while.
"There are so many rare treasures, the second sister is really lucky, she met such a good husband as the prince." Shen Qingyue's veil was a little rotten, looking at the treasures in the courtyard, I am afraid that there are a hundred boxes, right? Shen Liuyue, that little slut, is really lucky.
Shen Qingyue had a smile on her face, and there was a little ridicule in her words, but she was very jealous and resentful in her heart.
Why can she, Shen Liuyue, marry the Seven Sages and become a concubine? And she, Shen Qingyue, took the initiative to come up, still wondering if she could become Xuanyuan Chuyun's side concubine. Why? Just because she, Shen Liuyue is a concubine? If she, Shen Qingyue, is a concubine......
"She's worth it." Xuanyuan Zichen said lightly, his eyes fell on Shen Qingyue's body, "It's different from you." β
When Xuanyuan Zichen's eyes fell on Shen Qingyue, she didn't have time to be nervous, Xuanyuan Zichen said the next sentence, which made her face stiffen a little in an instant, and the smile on her face was very ugly, and she squeezed out a sentence dryly,
"The prince laughed."
Shen Qingyue wanted to find a step for herself, but Xuanyuan Zichen really didn't want to let her go so easily, "This king really wants to be a joker?" β
As soon as this sentence came out, Shen Qingyue couldn't squeeze out her smile, Xuanyuan Zichen's dislike for her was too obvious, and she didn't hide it.
Xuanyuan Zichen's eyes were very light, he knew that those rumors were spread by the woman in front of him, and there was also Xuanyuan Chuyun, the king of Chu, who was with her.
Xuanyuan Chuyun is an ambitious person, and he pretends to be very good, but he is an ambitious guy, and he still wants to climb to that position without background and no capital? Is it impossible to dream?
Xuanyuan Zichen narrowed his eyes, only feeling a little funny.
It was none of his business, he didn't want to care about it, but whoever let these two people calculate his little girl's head, he had to take care of it.
"Lord Wang, according to the etiquette of the Southern Qing Dynasty, men and women can't meet one month before the wedding, so why don't you let Liuyue come back first?" Shen Xiuqi said, glanced at Shen Qingyue, and motioned for her to retreat, without further words.
"This king knows what to expect." Xuanyuan Zichen was still a little interested, but when Shen Xiuqi mentioned this, his face instantly faded a little.
Don't see each other for a month? It's been too long.
Xuanyuan Zichen's eyes when he looked at Shen Xiuqi were obviously cold, which made Shen Xiuqi's heart tremble.
He said such a sentence when he intended to relieve his eldest daughter, but who knew that he had stabbed the hornet's nest.
For a while, the atmosphere in the front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion was a little frozen, making people a little out of breath.
