Now Aunt Wang has been given to the Crown Princess Tang Fengchu. Although she is now following Ye Fuxun, she still has to return to the palace after the marriage, so it is most appropriate for Aunt Zhou to go to Prince Chen's Mansion.
After receiving the report from his servants, Ye Hanliang hurriedly ordered his servants to invite people in various courtyards. When everyone arrived, the housekeeper Ye Cheng was bowing his head and talking to a woman in her early thirties with a very smiling face. However,
The woman in dark red palace clothes always looked forward, her chin slightly raised, and didn't say a word.
When Ye Hanliang saw this posture, he was a little confused. How could Aunt Zhou in the palace pass on the emperor's imperial edict? But Aunt Zhou's identity was not ordinary. She was a first-class lady personally conferred by the emperor today.
Ye Hanliang took two steps and came to Aunt Zhou, raised his hands and gave a salute, "I don't know that when Auntie came to the house, she was greeted at a distance, but I hope Auntie won't be surprised."
Behind her, Aunt Xie also saluted with her family members, and Ye Fuxun naturally followed suit. Aunt Zhou was naturally used to big scenes. She opened the bright yellow imperial edict in her hand and said loudly, "By God's blessing, the emperor's edict says: I have heard that the Prime Minister
Ye Hanliang's daughter Ye Fuxun is skillful, generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. The Queen Mother and I are very pleased to hear about it. Now that King Chen is in his weakest years, when it is time to marry, he should choose a virtuous daughter and his wife. Ye Fuxun is waiting for her.
In the boudoir of the boudoir, you are a match made by heaven and earth with Song Hanzhao, the king of Chen. In order to become a beautiful woman, I have specially betrothed you to be the princess. All the etiquette will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Etiquette and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed at the right time. Announcement at home and abroad, Xian
The envoys heard about it and admired it."
Ye Hanliang was completely stunned. He did not expect that Ye Fuxun would actually grant a marriage to King Chen, and Aunt Zhou came to read the imperial edict, which showed that Ye Fuxun was recognized by Concubine Yue.
"Prime Minister Ye, please hurry up and accept the order."
"I accept the order." After Ye Hanliang kowtowed, he straightened up to receive the order. However, Aunt Zhou did not mention asking everyone to get up. She found a light blue figure among the people who were bowing down, and then said loudly, "Everyone, get up."
But before Ye Fuxun could stand up, a pair of hands stretched out to help him up.
"This must be Miss Ye who is about to join Prince Chen's Mansion." Aunt Zhou changed her solemn look and put on a kind look.
Ye Fuxun raised his head and met a face full of kindness.
"Yes, this is Ye's eldest daughter." Ye Hanliang took over the conversation and said with a smile, "Ye has three daughters in total."
"Yes, yes." Aunt Xie also said, "These are the second and third young ladies of Ye Mansion." Aunt Xie hurriedly pushed Ye Yunshang and Ye Jinyu forward, "Shang'er, Yu'er, why don't you come to me quickly?
Aunt Zhou says hello."
Ye Yunshang habitually raised her always soft and gentle smile, and Shi Shiran saluted, "Yunshang has met Aunt Zhou." Ye Jinyu also saluted.
Aunt Zhou didn't even look at the people in front of her, but her eyes fell on Ye Fuxun, "Miss Ye, today I have something to say to you."
"Auntie, please speak."
"The empress said that she hopes that the eldest lady will often come to the palace to chat with her when she has nothing to do to relieve her boredom." Aunt Zhou's words undoubtedly gave a signal to everyone in the Ye family that Concubine Yue was interested in Ye Fuxun as her daughter-in-law.
"Women of the common people will definitely go there often."
Aunt Zhou took Ye Fuxun's hand and asked with a smile, "The eldest lady is really a wonderful person. No wonder the prince rushed to the saint yesterday to ask for a marriage. I heard that the lady just returned to Beijing recently?"
"Yes, I was raised in Qingchuan before."
Aunt Zhou looked at Ye Fuxun carefully and said distressedly, "You are indeed a little thin. Later, when you marry into Prince Chen's Mansion, Auntie will make soup for you every day, okay?"
Ye Fuxun looked into Aunt Zhou's eyes and saw her sincerity, and was deeply moved.
"My aunt doesn't know. My sister has always been so thin. My father sends all the delicious food to my sister, but she can't get fat no matter how much she eats." Ye Yunshang said with a sweet voice, seemingly harmonious.
Ye Fuxun's sisters look deeply in love.
Aunt Wang had already reported the incident in Ye Mansion to Yunxiao Palace. Naturally, she understood what Second Miss Ye said. She turned to look at Ye Fuxun and asked, "Is what Second Miss said true?"
Ye Fuxun smiled brightly and said in a neutral tone, "Xun'er really doesn't gain weight. My uncle and aunt often send me things, but I just don't gain weight." Ye Fuxun did not answer Aunt Zhou's question directly, but
He changed the topic with a smile.
Aunt Xie's face fell instantly, but she didn't dare to get angry. She could only look at Ye Hanliang with resentment. Ye Hanliang didn't look good on his face. He wanted to speak several times, but had to swallow it because of Aunt Zhou's identity.
.
Aunt Zhou has another important thing to do this time besides conveying orders.
I saw her patting the back of Ye Fuxun's hand and saying to her kindly: "Miss, I and the eldest lady hit it off immediately. I'll wait until my aunt has finished the business first before I can talk to the eldest lady properly." Then she let go.
Ye Fuxun opened his hand and turned to look at Ye Hanliang: "Prime Minister Ye, yesterday, His Majesty ordered the Ministry of Etiquette to prepare for the wedding between His Highness King Chen and the eldest lady, so today I am sending this betrothal gift together with His Highness King Chen's order.
Here we come." Aunt Zhou said, taking the gift list from the maid next to her and handing it to Ye Hanliang herself, "Prime Minister Ye, please take a look."
Ye Hanliang took it respectfully and unfolded it to look at it carefully. Aunt Xie also came forward. When the two of them looked at the gift list, Ye Hanliang looked unpredictable, while Aunt Xie was unwilling to be jealous!
"Prime Minister Ye, are you satisfied with this gift list?"
"Since it is a gift from His Highness King Chen, Ye is naturally satisfied." Ye Hanliang said respectfully, and his eyes warmed a lot when he looked at Ye Fuxun, "However, this is just a betrothal gift just after the marriage was decreed.
Are you a little anxious?"
"Isn't that right? Prime Minister Ye also knows that His Majesty and the Empress have always been worried about His Highness Chen Wang's marriage. Now His Highness Chen Wang is almost twenty-three years old. His Highness Chen Wang is particularly interested in the eldest lady and wishes to marry her as soon as possible.
Enter the mansion."
"I see."
As soon as Ye Hanliang finished speaking, Aunt Zhou clapped her hands, and people filed in outside the door, carrying the betrothal gift. Outside the door, there was a eunuch singing the betrothal gift list.
"His Royal Highness, King Chen, gave Miss Ye a thousand taels of gold. Once she entered the villa in the north of the city, she had eight shops in the capital, a thousand acres of fertile land, a golden phoenix with pearls and silk, a golden hairpin with two lanterns holding longevity fruits, and a golden phoenix with pearls.
A pair of hairpins, a pair of phoenix hairpins inlaid with white jade, a pair of phoenix hairpins inlaid with jadeite, a pair of phoenix hairpins inlaid with emerald silver silk, a pair of long red gold silk hairpins, a pair of long hairpins inlaid with red gold, emerald
A pair of long hairpins made of white jade, a pair of long hairpins made of white jade, a pair of long hairpins dotted with emerald green jade, a pair of long hairpins dotted with emerald green jade, a pair of long hairpins dotted with double happiness, a pair of long hairpins inlaid with pearls, a pair of long hairpins inlaid with precious stones, emerald white jade, dotted emerald coral, pearls, gems and agate
Two pairs each of various tortoiseshell horn crystal hairpins, twenty-two gold and silver hairpins, a pair of red gold silk inlaid bracelets, a pair of ivory gold-covered bracelets, four pairs of white jade bracelets, four pairs of emerald bracelets, white mutton-fat
A pair of jade vases, a pair of Kowloon jade cups, a pair of East China Sea luminous pearls, a sapphire bergamot flower, a pair of coral Pixiu, a malachite landscape screen, gold inlaid gems, a white jade chrysanthemum petal narcissus bonsai
A pair of gold bell bracelets, glazed jade bracelets, red gold silk bracelets, white jade Eight Immortals bracelets, gold and jeweled folded silk bracelets...
From decorations to jewelry, boxes and boxes of these were carried to the Ye Mansion as if they were free, which was enough to make all the women jealous. Listening to these betrothal gifts made Ye Yunshang and Ye Jinyu feel envious and jealous.
The betrothal gift has almost caught up with the betrothal gift of the Crown Princess Tang Fengchu.
Not only that, the eunuchs then brought in a high-quality rosewood and white jade bed, equipped with high-quality chairs, tables, and some small ornaments, and then brought in twenty pieces of silk and satin.
Back and forth, the entire front yard of the Ye Mansion was almost filled. When the eunuch said the last word, everyone in the Ye Mansion trembled in their hearts. Such a large amount of betrothal gifts was unheard of in the Xuanyue Dynasty.
After all the betrothal gifts were moved, Aunt Zhou personally handed a wooden box into Ye Fuxun's hands and said lovingly, "The land deeds and house deeds are all here. Because the gold was too heavy, the prince ordered me to save it."
, the bank deposit is also inside, I wonder if Miss Ye is satisfied with the betrothal gift from His Highness King Chen?"
"Your Majesty has given you such a generous betrothal gift. It's because of Xun'er's wishes. I have to thank my aunt for taking care of it." Ye Fuxun replied with a faint smile. There was no expression of joy on his face because Song Han had given such a large betrothal gift.
In this way, Aunt Zhou was very satisfied. The person who occupies the chief position in Prince Chen's Mansion should be pampered and humiliated.
"The eldest lady is naturally satisfied with such a heavy betrothal gift." Aunt Xie said sourly, but Aunt Zhou sternly shouted, "I am talking to the future Princess Chen, when will it be your turn to interrupt? This Prime Minister
Does the government still have any rules?!"
Aunt Xie was so choked that she couldn't speak. Just when she was about to have a fit, she was stopped by Ye Yunshang. She smiled slightly and said, "Mother is happy for my sister. I hope Auntie won't blame her."
Aunt Xie then thought about it, Ye Fuxun's so many dowry gifts were not for Ye Mansion. When Ye Yunshang and Ye Jinyu got married, she encouraged Ye Hanliang to add Ye Fuxun's dowry gift to the two of them.
into the dowry.
Aunt Zhou saw the calculation in Aunt Xie's eyes, and then said firmly, "The prince specifically told me before he came that all these betrothal gifts are for Miss Ye alone and have nothing to do with Ye Mansion!"
"How can the betrothal gift be given to the bride alone? It's unreasonable!" Aunt Zhou interrupted Aunt Xie's wishful thinking with one sentence, and Aunt Xie was naturally dissatisfied.
"Yes, where can anyone give such a betrothal gift here? Even if it is an ordinary family, the betrothal gift should be given to the mother's family instead of an individual?" Ye Hanliang naturally coveted these things.
"Prime Minister Ye, the prince has done this with the tacit approval of the Holy One. If you have any doubts, you can write to the Holy One. However, I have a word of advice for Prime Minister Ye. His Highness, Prince Chen, has always been unconventional. Besides,
Ye Cheng is very clear about the kindness that the Ye Mansion has shown to Miss Ye in raising her."
