Chapter 192: Lu Yu Prince's Dowry
Chapter 192 Lu Yu Prince's Betrothal Gift
Grandfather's words were like an unfathomable pool of water, and Ruan Youqing sank into it, almost squeezing out all the strength in his body.
She knew that her grandfather deeply loved the land of Ningguo, and deeply loved every single commoner living in this land.
However, this burden... is too heavy.
The **** scene in the previous life was as painful as peeling her skin and cramping. She didn't want...don't want to experience that kind of pain again.
"But grandfather, if you listened to the rumors and really misunderstood you... wouldn't you feel sad at all?" Ruan Youqing asked again, still unwilling to give up. Maybe... she is selfish. At this time, she only wants to let her family live in peace.
Ruan Chong's callused big hands touched Ruan Youqing's head again, seeing the grievances of his little granddaughter who had been following him and had never suffered so much, he finally sighed again: "I can't say no." Feel a little sad, you will be sad, you will be sad, but if you do it all over again, I will still choose to persevere at the beginning. It is me, and our Ruan family, who must bear the responsibility of defending every inch of Ningguo's territory."
"But, but grandfather, I just want to have a meal with my father, brother, grandfather, mother, sister, and our whole family. Grandpa...youqing's request...isn't too much Let's go..." Ruan Youqing continued to sob a few times, his aggrieved appearance was heart-wrenching.
Just pretend...she's selfish.
Ruan Chong couldn't help Ruan Youqing being like this, his heart softened, and he could only nod his head after sighing: "In that case, then... let them hurry back after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"Thank you, grandpa, for making it happen!" Ruan Youqing finally smiled through tears.
Ruan Chong looked at Ruan Youqing lovingly, then turned his head away, hiding the tears in his eyes.
After the family of three had dinner, Mu Fei wanted to take Ruan Youqing out for a walk for the first time.
The mother and daughter went out, but instead of riding in a carriage, they held each other's arms and prepared to stroll over. Fan'er and Mu Fei's personal entourage, Su Ge, followed behind, talking and laughing happily.
「Mother, why do you suddenly want to go shopping?」
It is indeed a rare thing for General Mu to be able to take to the streets like an ordinary wife.
After Mu Fei heard this, he smiled and replied: "Aren't your father and Lingjun coming back? I'm going to take you to buy some outfits for them. These two people have been marching and fighting all year round. They are all wearing armor. The only few sets of regular uniforms have been worn for several years. Although we don’t rely on dressing up, we can’t make people think that our Ruan family is useless.”
"Buying outfits for dad and elder brother? Then I will help mother to choose. It's just... my elder brother is fine, but I haven't married a sister-in-law yet. If daddy dresses up well...mother won't be afraid... daddy will attract some unsightly Necessary peach blossom?"
Although Ruan Ye is an iron-blooded and ruthless cold-faced general, his appearance is exceptionally handsome. Although they are already old, men of their age are most likely to attract the attention of a large number of women.
Sure enough, after Ruan Youqing finished speaking narrowly, Mu Fei frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "I didn't expect this. Although I believe that your father will not be easily fooled by others, those Yingyingyan Yan is annoying. Just in case... we will pick some old and ugly ones for your father."
Ruan Youqing chuckled, and nodded solemnly: "Indeed, you can't make Daddy look too good-looking."
However, when the two finished shopping and were about to return home, a team of officers and soldiers suddenly cleared the road far from the street. Before Ruan Youqing could see what happened, a passerby behind them began to discuss in a low voice:
"Did you see, our crown prince has sent a betrothal gift to the Rong Mansion!"
"A dowry gift? The crown prince wants to marry Miss Rong?"
"No, I just proposed a marriage a few days ago, and today I have already prepared the dowry and will send it to Rong's residence."
"Isn't the Rong family... more and more arrogant? After all... the one from Juhui Palace is also from the Rong family... How can the emperor... be at ease?"
"My cousin's brother-in-law's daughter is working in the palace. I heard..." The man deliberately lowered his voice before continuing, "I heard that this young lady of the Rong family had some... nasty things with the prince. , That's why the emperor agreed to this marriage. Fortunately, although the Rong family is rich, they have no real power in the court. Otherwise, the emperor will definitely not rest assured that His Royal Highness will marry Miss Rong back."
Ruan Youqing's hearing is very good. Even if the other party lowered her voice, she still heard the other party's whispers to the exact point.
It seems that the matter of Rong Yan and Li Yi was not widely spread last time, and the empress probably shut down many people again.
But... there is no wall that is not exposed to the wind in this world.
Rong Yan's reputation is still not as good as before.
Sure enough, when the other person heard it, there was a tinge of contempt in his tone: "How virtuous and virtuous I am as the young lady of the Rong family, it turns out that behind the scenes... she is also this kind of person who will do nothing to climb the ladder. Before... Didn't she go missing for a few days, and their Rong family even came forward and said that she went to a distant relative's house. The prince, he...isn't that annoying?"
「Perhaps...they just like this one?」
「Keep your voice down! Don’t be heard by others!」
Hearing the clear Ruan Youqing and Mu Fei's silent glance, Ruan Youqing shrugged, while Mu Fei frowned slightly.
Because officers and soldiers cleared the road, more and more people were driven to the side of the road.
Now leaving is a bit conspicuous, so Ruan Youqing had no choice but to stand in the crowd with Mu Fei, and was forced to look at the dowry presenting team.
Fan'er also came to Ruan Youqing's side, looking at the not-too-long team, couldn't help but whispered: "Miss, the prince's betrothal gift to Miss Rong's family...would it be a bit...shabby..."
The reason for saying this is because the betrothal gift sent by Li Yi did not follow the standards of previous princes marrying princesses.
Often among the gifts given by the prince to marry the concubine, there are hundreds of taels of gold and thousands of pieces of color, and the money of 500,000 may fluctuate slightly. But those brocade, silk, silk, silk, and all kinds of jewelry, livestock, melons and fruits are indispensable.
After Ruan Youqing swept through the ten carriages pulling the betrothal gifts one by one, she was very sure that the betrothal gift from Li Yi was definitely not too much.
Is he... giving Rong Yan a blow?
After all...Rong Yan plotted against him, so that he had to marry her back.
For Li Yi, who must take revenge, this is indeed his way of doing things.
However...it is somewhat surprising that the emperor allowed him to do so.
After the dowry delivery team passed, Ruan Youqing and the others prepared to return home.
The people who were watching the excitement had already walked towards the Rong Mansion in twos and threes.
Said to see Rong Fu's reaction.
At this moment, several people suddenly ran from another direction, looking for something in the crowd with a little excitement.
One of them was coming in the direction of Ruan Youqing.
Just when Ruan Youqing was slightly surprised, the man passed her and ran towards the two who were discussing behind them just now.
「Why did you two brats come here!」
"Hey! Just now I witnessed the procession of His Royal Highness delivering the bride price to the Rong Mansion!"
「Oh? The crown prince also sent a dowry gift?」
「That’s right! Ah... Who else will give the dowry? And...you’re so bold as to be on the same day as the crown prince’s dowry?」
"Who else! Of course it is our chief minister! And ah... a total of twenty carriages!"
