Chapter 132: The Final Chapter
"Princess Chu has returned to her parents' house, I heard that she is clamoring to reconcile with the King of Chu." In the Prince's Mansion, Ji Yongan whispered to Mu Qingyun while drinking tea and eating fruits.
Mu Qingyun, who had been pregnant for five months, raised her eyebrows slightly, "What did Your Majesty say?" ”
"Say it's up to them." Ji Yongan smiled and narrowed his eyes.
This father of his, sometimes what he does is quite unexpected.
"Then let's pretend we don't know anything." Mu Qingyun touched his already bulging belly, "The only thing we should do now is to listen to Your Majesty." ”
Ji Heng is in the prime of life, and based on the average lifespan of their Ji family, he can be the Great Chu Emperor for at least another twenty to thirty years.
Under this premise, Ji Yongan, the newly baked Royal Highness the Prince, will not be able to perform too well and be too lively in the future.
In the past few years, Ji Yongan has fully proved his military and political talents, and now that Ji Heng has recognized him and made him his heir, then Ji Yongan should rein in his edge and keep to himself.
The prince and the prince, as the name suggests, is only the emperor's reserve, not the emperor himself, his duty is to do a good job of the emperor's reserve, not to seize the glory of the emperor, and he can't wait to seize power and ascend to the throne.
Ji Yongan agreed with Mu Qingyun on this point.
Anyway, those brothers of his, although Ji Heng gave them the throne and sent them to settle in their fiefdoms, in fact, they had no authority to govern their fiefs at all.
According to the law of Great Chu, they could only receive half of the tax revenue of the fief every year as their prince's income to support their families.
Of course, Ji Heng has also rewarded them with gold, silver, pearls, jade, shop noodles and other things in the past few years.
These things, combined with half of the annual tax revenue of their fiefdom, were enough for them to live a prosperous life, and unless they were prepared to raise money to rebel, they would definitely not be troubled by the money.
Moreover, Ji Yongan also heard that his father had actually placed some eyeliner in the kings' fiefdoms.
In other words, if these younger brothers of his are in peace, it will be fine, if they have to make trouble, then Ji Heng himself can clean them all up.
Compared with Ji Heng, Ji Yongan, the prince, has nothing to worry about and work on.
Thinking about it like this, Ji Yongan suddenly felt that being a prince was a hundred times happier than being an emperor.
He rubbed his hands and prayed, praying that all the gods and Buddhas would come to bless his father.
Because only if his father lives a few more years in good health can he, the "prince", really be "stored".
Only by being "stored" can he, the "prince", guard his daughter-in-law and children every day.
"In half a month, Ah Xiao and Ah Ning should also get married, and then you will have to go to the Guogong Mansion?"
Mu Qingyun shook his head, "I'll go and give them gifts in advance, and you can just go there on your own wedding day." ”
Ji Yongan bowed slightly, "Then I'll accompany you over then." ”
***
Time is fleeting, half a month later, the Yan family and the He family put up lanterns, and the people of the capital spread the word of mouth, and they brought fried beans and melon seeds to occupy a favorable position, ready to observe the rich dowry of the He family's girl.
Everyone is not just looking at He Shuning's dowry, to be precise, whenever a big family marries a daughter-in-law, these little people who are a little idle and have a little money will watch with great interest.
The previous princes married concubines and married large families, and these people were almost all on the spot, not only to watch, but also to comment in private.
"It's coming, it's coming." The handful of people closest to the Patriotic Mansion all whispered in unison.
In front of their eyes, the dowry boxes were crammed to the bridries of handsome faces, with red silk tied around their waists, and dressed in new clothes.
"It's... Jade Ruyi? ”
"Such a big jade Ruyi?"
"You don't know this, I heard that this jade Ruyi was given to Miss He by the queen."
"Why did the queen put the things in the first lift? I heard that the emperor also sent someone to send a reward. ”
"The emperor rewarded a thousand-mile horse, and the snow-white horse just now was awarded by the emperor to Miss He."
"Uh... I thought that the two horses were given to Miss He by the He family. ”
"You're not well-informed enough!" The uncle who said this was quite complacent, "My aunt's sister-in-law's sister-in-law is working in the Crown Princess's Mansion, and if you want to talk about this matter of the Patriotic Mansion, the Crown Princess is the most well-informed in this capital." ”
Someone was not convinced, "Then do you know how much dowry Miss He has in total, and what is put in each lift?" ”
The uncle who spoke with a smile on his face, "I know that Miss He has a total of one hundred and thirty-six dowries, but you have to ask me what is put in each dowry, do you want me to steal Miss He's dowry list?" No matter how good our Da Chu's crown princess is with Miss He, she can't go and count Miss He's dowry the same, right? The most important thing is that even if the crown princess really knows, can the princess still be able to reveal the news to us who are rising to the top of the fight? ”
"Yes." The uncle's old neighbor also looked unkind, "My old brother said it, he listened to his aunt's sister-in-law's sister-in-law, not the princess herself, and you asked him what he put in each lift, what are you not intentionally lifting the bar?" ”
The young man who was still unconvinced was speechless by the two middle-aged uncles joining forces, and finally had to turn his head angrily and put on a posture that was not as knowledgeable as these two middle-aged uncles.
The two middle-aged uncles did not relent, and the two sides died down and continued to watch the excitement with great interest.
What they didn't know was that just when they were amazed that He Shuning's dowry was second only to the princess, He Shuning was generously distributing things to his grandparents, parents, uncles, sisters-in-law, and several nephews in the family.
Most of the trophies she didn't bring to the Yan family were her "trophies" that occupied space and were extremely valuable.
According to the respective preferences of everyone in the family, He Shuning took all the things that she was not interested in at all and her mother had to help her save up to her father's yard, and asked her father and mother to help her distribute the things to everyone.
Her grandparents mostly bought gold and silver jewelry, because her grandfather was only fond of gold and silver, and her grandmother was very fond of pearls and precious stones.
Her father and mother respectively got a set of armor, an ancient sword, a box of ancient jade, and a box of ancient inkstone for their precious daughter's filial piety.
These two people are the kind of people who can both write and martial arts, in addition to the same love of weapons and armor, they also like to collect ancient jade and ancient inkstones.
As for He Shuning's brother and sister-in-law, He Shuning gave them good horses, famous swords, military books, ancient books, ancient paintings, guqins, and precious calligraphy books left by the previous dynasty.
She had collected a lot of things that she had collected, but had been locked up in the storeroom and dusted, such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, silk and satin, jewelry, animal skins, medicinal supplements, weapons and armor, and so on, which she would not bring to the Yan family, He Shuning asked her mother to consider and help her distribute them to her uncles, aunts, cousins, and nephews.
Scattered wealth like a virgin divided about a quarter of her family to her parents' relatives, and then left about a quarter of her family funds, so that her mother would help her share them with her younger nephews and nieces in the future, He Shuning took the remaining half of the family background and the family added a lot of makeup to her that did not occupy space, such as the title deeds of the grange, shops, and houses, and married into the door of the Yan family.
The people of the capital talked about the richness and "solidity" of He Shuning's dowry, but Yan Nanxiao only cared about how to coax his new daughter-in-law into his bowl.
Pity him for being the most beautiful man in Chu, and his attraction to his daughter-in-law is not as good as the table of good dishes prepared by his mother Wen for his daughter-in-law. How could he endure this?
Yan Nanxiao, who secretly calculated no less than ten strategies, after He Shuning ate most of the dishes on the table, deceived his daughter-in-law into going to bed and eating dry as he wished.
However, what made him depressed was that after his daughter-in-law went to Wushan with him, she still remembered the remaining small half of the table dishes!
