Chapter 241: Acceptance of the Dowry

Starting from the city gate, the carriage and horse salute team lined up to the Hou Wang's Mansion, along the way caused everyone to watch, admire, envy, red makeup, colorful sheng songs, the royal guard and many dowry together decorated Zhenning, shocked Beihua.

The prince stood at the door and greeted the comer with the crowd.

Looking at that lively scene, King Hou's heart was full of sourness and happiness, and this moment was both long-awaited and scared and worried. He stood there with a mixture of joy and sorrow, as if time had gone far, long.

The courtyard of the Hou Wang's Mansion was full of red boxes, and the hall was full of precious dowries, and everyone finally retreated after moving their belongings.

At the moment, there were only shiny red gifts and a few people in different moods in the room.

Xue Ze looked at the dowry list, then at Fengxing and Lotus Seeds, and his face sank.

The prince was excited and happy, thanked him again and again, and ordered a banquet to entertain the guests.

"Since the Hou Wang gladly accepted the dowry, then please accept the things!" Feng Xing smiled and handed the red paper to the Hou Wang. "Please take a look at the details of the gift list!"

"Thank you!" King Hou nodded and said to the group outside the door, "Come on, take all the things!"

"Wait!" Xue Ze stood up, looked at the three of them, and said indifferently: "I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate." The specifications of this dowry are too high, and the quantity also exceeds the etiquette system, Qingling is really unblessed and unreassured!"

"Uh......" Feng Xing coughed a few times, didn't know how to reply, and looked at King Hou anxiously.

Hou Wang was stunned for a while, and he didn't convince Qingling after several words.

Lianzi tugged at Fengxing's sleeves, and glanced at him again, and Fengxing smiled at him: "This is all what the emperor meant, he said that the dowry and other things are all external, just a mind." If it is a big wedding, if you want to show your intentions, you have to use the best things to welcome the best people. If the young lady is worried about the emperor's kindness, then please accept it!"

King Hou smiled slightly, and said to Qingling: "Daughter, they are all well-intentioned, don't you have to refuse!"

"I know how to be kind, and I don't care about the dowry, but I don't want to let such things outside my body ruin the emperor's reputation. The emperor has always adhered to etiquette, steady and upright, if it is implicated because of Qingling, it is the fault of the entire Hou Wangfu! This is a happy event, don't make a mess!"

King Hou was stunned, and when he saw that Fengxing had nothing to say, he pulled back Xueze. "You can't speak on such occasions, and if you don't retreat, don't embarrass General Fengxing!"

"Dad, this is really inappropriate!" Yukisawa insisted.

Seeing this, Lianzi resolutely walked to Fengxing's side, and persuaded with a smile: "King Hou, Miss, don't argue. This matter is a characteristic of the emperor, and it is known to the whole world, how can there be any retraction of the dowry gift? If you feel that the dowry is defective, you can make up for it, but there is no such thing as being too expensive. Since ancient times, women have been married, and this dowry is an important representative, the more valuable the intentions, the more it can prove that the husband's intentions are pure and affectionate, I think Miss still don't shirk!"

Feng Xing saw that King Hou looked at the lotus seed approvingly, and hurriedly added: "That's right, the emperor has a deep affection for Miss, and I ask Miss not to refuse." This etiquette has long been resolved, and the matter has been just. The people of the world have also praised it, and absolutely no one is unconvinced!"

Xue Ze wanted to say more, but was stopped by King Hou. "Qingling, don't say it again!"

"Dad, haven't you always followed the etiquette of the ancestral system?"

"In this matter, I think the emperor has done the right thing!" King Hou smiled and looked at the room full of dowry with satisfaction. "Daddy, I have never been unfamiliar with gold, silver and jewelry, and I don't expect you to marry a noble person, but I don't want you to suffer the slightest grievance in marriage! The more special and attentive the emperor is to you, the more relieved I will be, these are his explanations and proofs to me, how can I not accept them?"

Xue Ze frowned and said nothing, she understood that Liu Li valued her, but she didn't understand how affectionate he was to her. After all, this is Qingling's identity, and Xue Ze has no right to refuse the choice of the Hou Wang.

"Daughter, if you want to enter the palace in the future, it is a complicated place! I don't want to enter the court, and I don't want you to be involved with the royal family, but this ...... Maybe it's providence! With these, the people in the palace will respect you a little, and I can rest assured! Since ancient times, the feelings of kings have been shallow and meaningless, but today's saints are a little different, and I am willing to believe that he will pamper and care for you, so I did not refuse this marriage!"

Hou Wang said a lot, and gradually a lot of sadness emerged, Xue Ze hurriedly helped him to the room to rest.

Without the noisy sounds and troublesome entertainment outside, King Hou calmed down, sighed and said, "Qingling, I deliberately said that to General Fengxing just now, do you mind?"

Xue Ze shook his head and replied gently, "Daddy is all for my good, how can I mind?"

"Then can you really marry with peace of mind?" Hou Wang stood up and looked at Xue Ze with sorrow and pity. "You are still thinking about that Pingliang man, are you really willing to marry into the royal family?"

Xue Ze was stunned, and was a little flustered in her heart, what would she do if she was Qingling at this moment?

"I, I'm ......" Xue Ze turned sideways and whispered: "Daddy, don't worry, the last time I went to Pingliang, I have already cut off my relationship, and I won't miss him anymore!"

"Say put it down, it's not that simple!" Hou Wang sighed and sat down at the table. "I know that you are still a little reluctant in your heart, but it is just for the sake of the Hou Wangfu. This queen mother has to give marriage, and they are all princes, and they are extremely reluctant to be fathers! If it were those two princes, I would definitely push it for you, but the emperor came. I thought you and he had developed some affection, but I didn't understand your reluctance until I saw your resistance to the dowry... Daughter, if you don't want to, forget it!"

Xue Ze looked at the Hou Wang blankly, surprised and stunned. "Daddy, what do you mean by that? Didn't you gladly accept the dowry?"

"In the face of the emperor and his intentions, I am naturally sincerely happy, but all this is not as good as you! What is the use of liking your father? This is you, this is your life's event, and my father cannot wronged you!"

Xue Ze was stunned and silent, and secretly thought: I am embarrassed that the prince loves his daughter so much! I can't say I like it, and I can't refuse, how can I answer this?

"Daughter, don't worry! Daddy, keep a hand!" Hou Wang took out the note in his sleeve and handed it to Xue Ze. "Don't worry about the Hou Mansion, I have my own way. I have already contacted Yu Gongzi, and he will help you arrange it, and you will be an ordinary woman in the future, and you can live a free and easy life!"

"Daddy, what do you say?"

King Hou smiled mildly and looked at Xue Ze with loving eyes. "I am just a daughter like you, and your life's events are the most important things in my life! There are many men in the rivers and lakes, and this Yu Gongzi is also a good candidate. Anyway, if you don't want to marry into the royal family, then you're-"

"Dad!" Xue Ze took Hou Wang's hand and looked at him firmly: "My daughter is willing to marry, don't worry about it!"

Taking advantage of King Hou's consternation, Xue Ze handed the note to King Hou and turned his back again, for fear that he would see something. "Dad, don't send a message to Gongzi Yu, I'm just friends with him! Now that the matter has been decided, I also think that the emperor is good, so don't worry!"

"Do you really think the emperor is good?" Hou Wang walked over and looked at Xue Ze: "Don't be confused, this matter must not be sloppy." The emperor is a good man, so do you like him? If you marry him, can you spend your life with him and be happy?"

Xue Ze froze in place, her heart uneasy, as if there were a thousand things beating her heart, as if they were about to break her frozen heart.

Do you like it?

"Daughter... Enjoy... Loved it!"

After saying those words, Xue Ze felt that his face was red, and his heart was even more turbulent. She reached out and pressed her heart, and unconsciously lowered her head.

She didn't understand why a coping sentence made her so confused, couldn't she calmly say some lies? The feeling in her heart was very real, as if she was not lying, but what was it like to like someone?

Hou Wang stared at Xue Ze for a long time, until her flustered look and the blush on her face dissipated, and he smiled in relief and surprise. "It turns out that you really like the emperor!"

Xue Ze stood there awkwardly, at a loss, just closed his eyes and thought: Come back to reality! Calm down, calm down!

King Hou's expression relaxed, and he smiled with satisfaction: "It's okay, I don't have to work hard for you in the future, I can still watch you get married! It's just a pity that Yu Gongzi, I still want to make him your lover!"

"Yu Gongzi?" Xue Ze whispered, and the scene of meeting him flashed in his mind......

Huayuan is still so beautiful and chic, but the name has changed, and Yu Qixian's appearance and outfit have also changed. In just a few months, all the places and people have changed, and Yukisawa feels a little sad in his heart.

Yu Qixian was still so surprised and couldn't help himself when he saw her, Xue Ze smiled softly, and his heart was full of how to thank him and say goodbye to him, until everything was explained, and there was a feeling of dust falling to the ground.

"The flower garden is good, I hope you are safe and beautiful for the rest of your life, and your mood is as clean and happy as a flower!"

"It's always going to be clean and elegant, so will you come again?"

King Hou smiled slightly, a little ashamed. "Qingling, speaking of which, I have deliberately matched you! you won't blame your father, right?"

Xue Ze came back to his senses, shook his head, and whispered: "No, I think Yu Gongzi is good, suitable to be a friend-"

"Eh!" King Hou stopped Xue Ze and said with a smile: "Don't say this kind of thing again, you're going to get married! Although Yu Gongzi is a good person, I don't object to you continuing to communicate, but... But there is always a distance. If you are the imperial concubine, you can't do that!"

Yukisawa was stunned for a moment and nodded. "My daughter understands! I will abide by etiquette and will not embarrass the Hou Mansion!"

"Haha, how can there be such a statement?" King Hou smiled and whispered: "Actually, my father is afraid that the emperor will be jealous!"

"Eat... Jealous?"

King Hou responded, and said with a smile: "It's not good to praise other people in front of your husband, and... And because my father thinks that the emperor cares about you, then he will definitely be jealous when he hears you say that he and other men! You should be careful in the future, don't make unintentional mistakes, and don't always have conflicts with the emperor......
