Chapter 7

"What does the princess mean?" King Rui looked at Princess Rui and asked.

Princess Rui said, "No rules can make a square meter. Although Xu loves his daughter, he does it in a bad way." Princess Rui said softly, "Each of Chen Zi and the others takes out 10,000 taels for the dowry of the three of Chen Zi and the others, and spends 50,000 taels to buy a dowry for Jin Yatou. Ten thousand taels are not included in the dowry list, and they are used as private money for her."

King Rui did not speak when he heard this.

Princess Rui said, "They will be named princesses before they get married, and they will arrange dowry for them in the palace. However, because the mansion cherishes these children and is no longer at home after getting married, I add more money to them. The prince also knows the reputation of Yongning Bo, Jinmei..."

"Just as the princess said." King Rui also thought of this, and then thought of what Chen Jin made for him. Chen Jin was the first daughter to make things for him with his own hands. Thinking of the fan bags, belts and socks, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

Princess Rui continued, "Xu has to punish her, but because she gave birth to Brother Hao, it is difficult to punish her openly."

"Leave everything in the backyard to you," King Rui said without caring.

Princess Rui said softly, "Let's do this, let her be confined to her yard in these three months."

"Yeah." King Rui responded directly.

Princess Rui said, "Your Majesty is not allowed to be soft-hearted, it's over."

"Don't worry." Although King Rui likes Xu, he just likes him more. Xu has been following him for a long time, but he is not young after all, and there are many new things in the mansion. He has not set foot on Xu's place for three months.

"There is also the marriage of Eryatou." Princess Rui said, "If the imperial edict for the marriage of Jin Yatou is coming down, it would be bad for Eryatou to go out before he has decided. Some people will talk about the prince's gossip, and Eryatou will probably say that he is close to him in the future... The prince feels sorry for Eryatou, but outsiders don't know."

King Rui frowned and said nothing.

Princess Rui got up and took out the list, "These are all interesting families to Erya. I thought Erya was young, so I asked slowly, but now I can't wait for that long."

King Rui got the list, with the names of five people on it, followed by family background and ranking, thought for a while, and then got up and went to the desk to melt the names of two people. Now there are only three left, "Choose one of these three."

"Why would you call Xu?" Princess Rui said.

"It's good if the princess decides." King Rui said.

Princess Rui said, "After all, it is Erya's lifelong event, and I'm really anxious. Erya's so outstanding is now considered aggrieved."

"Okay." Seeing that Princess Rui was thinking everything was right, she felt that Xu, who could only cry, could not get on the table.

Princess Rui immediately asked Cuixi to call Xu. In fact, Xu had just returned not long ago, so she had to dress up and rushed over. If only the princess was there, she would not have been like this, but the prince was there, so she would not dare to delay it.

After arriving, I realized that it was about my daughter's marriage, but looking at the names of the three people, she was a little dissatisfied and shouted softly, "Prince..." She felt that her second daughter was not only sensible and good-looking, but also the daughter of King Rui. She was also a daughter of the Duke and Marquis' Mansion, but what was on the list now?

"These are only three." King Rui looked at Xu and said, "The princess asked you to see, it was for you to show her face. If you don't want to be shamed..."

"Xu." Princess Rui said, "I think the third one is good."

The family was not of high status, and they said they were close to the youngest son of the family, but the family was rich and the mistress of the family was from the imperial merchants.

"Zi Niang will be named a princess when she gets married. This family has a low status and is not matched enough." Xu refused directly, and Princess Rui stopped talking.

"Hurry up." King Rui urged impatiently.

Xu knew that there was no room for improvement in this matter, so he could only look down. When he saw the Zheng family, his eyes lit up and said, "I think this eldest master of the Zheng family is good."

"The Zheng family has been in this generation for a hundred years, but his family is precious..." Princess Rui said, "And this eldest son is the eldest son, and his wife wants to be the clan wife and the housekeeper."

King Rui heard what Princess Rui meant, and felt a little dissatisfied. But before he could speak, Xu felt a little moved when he heard the clan wife and the housekeeper. She suffered a loss in her life. Her daughter was the daughter of the prince and was born as a princess. Marrying to the Zheng family is considered a marriage. They would never dare to neglect and said, "This is the Zheng family."

"Prince?" Princess Rui looked at Prince Rui.

King Rui thought about it. Since his third daughter had already married Uncle Yongning, the second daughter was not suitable to marry into a powerful family again. The Zheng family's generation has not been an official, so it is suitable to come. "That's it."

"Okay, I'll send a letter to Mrs. Zheng, and I'll let him come to my house tomorrow. Then let Erya meet secretly. If possible, exchange the tokens and choose a good time to settle the marriage." Princess Rui smiled and said, "Xu, you are in custody for three months and don't come out within three months after you go back."

"Prince..." Xu looked at King Rui.

King Rui waved his hand, and Xu wanted to say something else, but when he saw King Rui's face darkened, he bowed and stepped down.

When Xu left, Princess Rui smiled and said, "Your Majesty should go and do business earlier, I have nothing to do here."

"Then I'll see you again in the evening." King Rui said warmly.

Princess Rui responded, got up and sent King Rui away in person, and then asked Cuixi to meet Shen Jin's mother, Concubine Chen. Since the matter was a foregone conclusion, Concubine Chen stopped crying and began to prepare dowry for her daughter silently.

Soon the imperial edict for marriage was issued. Those who knew that they would give Yongning Bo a marriage and had a daughter of appropriate age were relieved, but they also lamented that King Rui was indeed loyal to the emperor and was really willing to give up.

After crying, Shen Jin could only accept this matter, and there were also benefits. She was named the princess in advance and received rewards from the palace. Even the dowry was told by her mother.

Shen Jin is not a person who blames others. Since she accepted it, she began to prepare her dowry slowly. Many things were made by servants in the royal palace, but she also wanted to do some.

Concubine Chen also agreed, "Although you didn't choose this marriage, you live your own life. The best or bad life depends on your efforts."

Shen Jin wanted to live a good life. After the imperial edict was issued, Shen Qi, who had already gotten married, went home to teach Shen Jin, but found that Shen Jin had already thought about it.

Under the arrangement of Princess Rui, Shen Zi secretly saw the eldest son of the Zheng family. The eldest son of the Zheng family is gentle and talented. Even after King Rui talked to him, he was satisfied that it was not the material for being an official, but the material for literature.

Soon, the news of Chen Zi and the eldest son of the Zheng family got engaged was spread, and the two families also exchanged Geng Posts lively.

On the day when Yongning Bo returned to Beijing to offer prisoners, the capital was bustling. Even some ladies who rarely went out on weekdays booked private rooms in restaurants. After all, this was a big deal. They had heard of Yongning Bo's rumors, but they had never really met Yongning Bo.

However, Prince Rui's mansion quietly did not send anyone out because he had already received the news. Yongning Bo returned to the border halfway and wrote a letter to apologize.

The emperor did not mean to blame him at all. After all, Yongning Bo was for the stability of the border. Even if he wanted to blame him, he would blame the barbarians who did not open up their education.

Whether it was Chen Jin's wedding dress or Chen Zi's wedding dress, they were all handed over to a special embroidery girl. At this time, Chen Zi sat in Shen Jin's room wearing a garland dress with butterflies and flowers, and said, "Three sisters, when you get married, don't forget to write a letter back to Beijing and talk about the scenery of the border with us sisters."

As the daughters of King Rui, they had already received news. I am afraid that Uncle Yongning would not be able to return to Beijing in the past few years, so when he got married, Uncle Yongning would not be able to come back. The emperor intended to send Chen Jin directly to the border to get married.

"I heard that the emperor said that he would use the princess's ceremonial guard for the bride-giving team. Third sister, you are so glorious." Chen Zi saw that Chen Jin didn't say anything, and said with a smile, "No one else has such an honor except for the bride-giving family girl."

Chen Jin was embroidering a sachet, saying without raising her head, "Have the mother asked the second sister to embroider the pillowcase to be made? The second sister is about to get married, how are you pretending to be prepared?"

Chen Zi's face changed. She already knew that her dowry was reduced. Hearing this, she was dissatisfied. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have come to Chen Jin all day long and said, "The third sister should care more about herself. I don't know when Yongning will return to Beijing. If there is no food or clothing in the border, the third sister should prepare more."

"Thank you for your concern," Chen Jin finally looked up and said, "Is there anything else in my second sister?"

Chen Zi frowned and said, "Why are you still going to drive me away?"

Chen Jin smiled and said, "No, I'm going to go and say goodbye to my mother. I wonder if my second sister wants to go with me?"

"Since the mother has something to do, then forget it." Chen Zi then stood up and said, "I'll leave first. There are not many opportunities for us sisters to meet. I'll come to you tomorrow to reminisce about the past."

After Chen Zi left, the smile on Chen Jin's face disappeared. In fact, she was just lying to Chen Zi. However, Concubine Chen was in Princess Rui's place, and there was also Yongning Body Mansion in the capital. It was logical that she should get married in Body Yongning Body. However, the barbarians have been in turmoil recently, and the border cannot be separated from Body Yongning. The emperor discussed with King Rui and sent Chen Jin to the border directly, so he did not let Body Yongning come back.

So I encountered difficulties in dowry and needed to be regular. Some were sent directly to Yongning Bo Mansion, such as large furniture, and some had to follow Chen Jin to go on the road.

Because everyone was busy with Chen Jin's dowry, they ignored Chen Zi's dowry. Chen Zi was naturally dissatisfied with the time for the two of them to get married. Chen Zi always felt that he was better than Chen Jin, but he couldn't compare with Chen Jin in the dowry. Now the people in the mansion are busy with Chen Jin's affairs.

Unfortunately, it was the order given by King Rui. Chen Zi did not dare to trouble King Rui and Princess Rui, so he could only come to Chen Jin all day long and not to be quick. From the murder of Yongning Bo to the harsh border environment, he said over and over again that from the beginning to the palpitations of Shen Jin now, he felt numb.
