Even if you wear fast female accessories, you should also be brave enough to look bad

Chapter 498 Regent, please stay (46)

Ancient weddings paid attention to various rituals, and the three books and six etiquettes were indispensable links. It took a long time to prepare for these, not to mention the grand ceremony for the establishment of a queen throughout the country.

The story developed according to the original trajectory. The emperor decided against all the opinions and decided to appoint Concubine Liu as his queen. The queen mother had no choice but to stop intervening.

Prime Minister Liu has been extremely peaceful during this period. When he has to go to court, he usually stays at the Prime Minister's Mansion to spend time with his family.

Not only did the news of the emperor's appointment spread, but the news that the regent also wanted to choose a princess also spread like wildfire.

Of course, the Shangshu Mansion was the first place to know the news, because the next day after that day, Yanxu followed Yun's father back to the Shangshu Mansion, and humbly and gently mentioned to Yun's father that he admired the legitimate lady in the mansion.

Yun's father felt unexpected at that time, but after thinking about it, he felt that it should have been like this.

He was optimistic about the regent, and he would be wary of entrusting his daughter to such a person, let alone marrying him as a princess.

So during the next period of time, Yun Mu began to be busy making a dowry for Yun Qian.

In her free time, Yun Mu always sits in a pavilion where she can bask in the sun, embroidering something for Yun Qian, sometimes a pair of wedding shoes, sometimes a hijab.

Yun Qian sat next to Mica, cupping her cheeks and watching Mica embroider beautiful and lifelike patterns with stitches and threads.

"Mom, what is this embroidered on?" Yun Qian asked curiously.

Yun Yu smiled lightly and tapped the body of the animal on the pattern, "This is a mandarin duck. Mom hopes that you and His Highness will be together for a hundred years."

Two mandarin ducks nestled together in the corner of the hijab, with some flowers dotted around them. Yun Qian reached up and touched them, feeling the smooth lines of the embroidery thread.

"Originally, what Mom wanted to do was to find someone to marry who treats you well. She doesn't ask for wealth and status, as long as she treats you well."

Yun Mu mentioned being good to you twice in one sentence, and Yun Qian felt a warm current in her heart.

Yun Mu and Yun's father met when they were young, and Yun Shangshu, who has accompanied Yun's father from the imperial examination to the present, gave birth to a son and a daughter for him. Now that he is in his forties, gray hair has already appeared on his temples.

Yun Qian held Mica's hand, "Mom, don't worry, we will be fine."

Recently, a troupe from distant towns came to the capital. This troupe is very famous and performs in various towns all year round.

Since the beginning of the opera troupe, many high-ranking officials and nobles have come to watch the opera. Father Yun was also invited by his friends to watch the opera.

The opera troupe shouted loudly, and everyone in the mansion could hear it clearly when they passed by the gate of the mansion.

Yun Qian sat in the courtyard, listening to the shouts coming from far to near, and then from near to far. Then he looked at Yanxu, who was sitting aside without any movement.

"This troupe seems to be very famous. Don't you want to go and see it?" Yun Qian asked.

Yanxu had several brochures and posts on hand, most of which were to invite the regent to go to the theater.

He shook his head, "Not interested."

Yun Qian was bored, and on the rice paper in front of her, she randomly drew a few strange patterns with pen and ink, "Why? Is the show not good?"

"I don't know if the show is good or not. I just have no interest in it. Besides..." Yan Xu stopped talking and glanced at Yun Qian meaningfully.

Yun Qian tilted his head in confusion.

Yanxu continued: "Besides, instead of going to the theater, it would be better to watch you dance."

Yun Qian: "..."

A little warmth slowly crawled up his cheeks. Yun Qian was defeated by the man's smiling gaze and turned his head away first. Yanxu could only see Yun Qian's red ears.

Yanxu raised his eyebrows and reached out to touch Yun Qian's hand on the table. Yun Qian retracted his hand with a whoosh and covered his face.

Yun Qian was shy and didn't speak, and Yanxu wasn't in a hurry. He just looked at Yun Qian. It wasn't until the little rabbit poked its head and stopped hiding in the hole that he smiled and held Yun Qian's hand.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, the list of betrothal gifts has been sorted out. Please take a look at it...Eh? The lady is here too." Uncle Meng happily walked into the courtyard with several booklets and was a little surprised when he saw Yun Qian.

He went to the shop to take stock of the things he needed. He didn't know that Yun Qian had already arrived, so he made no sound when he came in with Zhezi in his arms.

Uncle Meng held the fold in his arms and hesitated whether he should take it to Yanxu.

Before getting married, the man has to go to the woman's home to pay the betrothal gift. Why the betrothal gift is prepared by the man's family is an expression of respect for the woman.

Generally speaking, the woman will not know in advance what the betrothal gift will be.

Yanxu didn't care too much, "It doesn't matter, just bring it over."

The folder was placed on the table. Yanxu didn't look at it first, but raised his chin, "Do you want to take a look?"

Yun Qian hesitated: "Is this... okay?"

"It's all for you, it doesn't matter if I know it sooner or later." Yan Xu said.

So Yun Qian took the one on top and prepared to read it.

The fold is very thick, which was Yun Qian's first feeling after getting it.

As the folds opened little by little, Yun Qian's eyes gradually widened.

Every space that can be written on the brochure is filled with gold, jade, silverware, clothes, women's jewelry, etc. Yun Qian's eyes are dazzled by the fancy names.

There was so much written in just one brochure. Yun Qian looked at the unopened brochures again, not daring to imagine the amount of betrothal gifts inside.

"So many?" Yun Qian's voice was shocked.

Yanxu nodded casually, "A lot?"

"I still don't think it's enough. You deserve more."

As he spoke, Yanxu picked up his pen, as if he really wanted to add something, and Yun Qian quickly stopped him.

"That's enough, that's enough. Your betrothal gift can buy more than a dozen Shangshu Mansion."

Yanxu laughed dumbly.

Yun Qian put the folds back and then arranged them neatly, "Actually, you don't need so many."

The palm of his hand was scratched by slender fingers. Yun Qian stopped talking and looked at Yanxu questioningly.

"You don't need to feel pressure. I want to marry you in the first place, so no amount is too much."

"........."

Not long after, Yun Qian blushed again, "...What happened to you today?"

Yun Qian's thoughts wandered for another moment, and after saying that sentence, he muttered softly: "No wonder the storytellers outside would say that about you."

Yanxu's eyes flashed with confusion, "What storyteller?"

"That's it..." Yun Qian couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the story told by the storyteller.

"That day in the teahouse, I was waiting for the secret guard to report the news to me, but unexpectedly I overheard the storyteller telling a story about His Highness."

"The story says that His Highness is still unmarried. There is a girl he has loved for a long time but passed away. His Highness was very devoted to her and stopped getting married for her sake."

Yanxu: "..."

Who is so bold as to slander the Regent behind his back...

Yanxu's expression was indescribable. If you look closely, there was some incredible numbness, which made Yun Qian forget to blush.

Finally, he patted Yanxu on the shoulder and said, "Your Highness is indeed a dedicated and good man."

Yanxu: "...??"
