Feng Mingwei picked up the tea cup, pinched the tea cup lid with her fingertips, "I heard about it, but I didn't expect that my father would forgive this woman so quickly."
After all, they were childhood sweethearts, and they held more weight in Emperor Beiwu's heart than others.
Empress Chen felt sour in her heart, "King An has made great achievements recently, and he is in high spirits. All the ministers are fawning over him. Concubine Shu in the harem cried a few words, and the emperor relented and resumed her position as concubine."
"Concubine Shu's extraordinary methods are not as simple as you think."
If King An is canonized as the crown prince, I am afraid that Concubine Shu will be promoted to a first-class noble concubine.
When the time comes, her status will rise and she will be second only to her as the queen.
Empress Chen had to make plans for the future, looking at Feng Mingwei with gleaming eyes, "Now the civil and military officials in the court are saying that the emperor intends to make Prince An the crown prince. If Prince An becomes the crown prince, then Concubine Shu will definitely be the noble concubine.
"
"If Queen An and her son gain power, I'm afraid the Feng family will be the first to be spared."
She actually worked hard to know what Feng Mingwei cared about most.
The corners of Feng Mingwei's lips curled up slightly, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip slowly, "Thank you, Queen, for your concern. Our Feng family is just a bereaved dog now. We are trapped in the northwest with no chance to turn around. I'm sure King An won't take it for granted."
The Feng family takes it seriously."
Queen Chen frowned, "But..."
"The horoscope has not yet been revealed, so why should the Queen worry unfoundedly?"
"The Queen came to me today to discuss the dowry of the Eighth Princess!"
"In that case, let's talk about business." Feng Mingwei put down the tea cup and immediately interrupted her to continue.
Queen Chen narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Well, the two princesses have similar identities, so logically the dowries will be the same."
"I asked someone to draw up two dowries, and sent one to Mingyue Palace."
"I originally wanted to give one to Concubine Jin, but Concubine Jin has an eye problem and I'm afraid she can't take care of this matter, so I told Concubine Jin that I could discuss it with you."
"This is the dowry list for the eighth princess. Take a look."
Seeing that she didn't want to join forces with her, Empress Chen was not in a hurry, so she held her temper and asked someone to bring over the eighth princess's dowry list.
Whether it was the same or not, Feng Mingwei didn't know, but everything on the list was quite satisfactory.
The two princesses got married on the same day, so everything was visible, and the Ministry of Rites was ready to believe it but did not dare to cheat.
Naturally, a princess who is a concubine cannot compare with the eldest princess.
In Feng Mingwei's eyes, it seemed too shabby, "Is this based on the list prepared by the Ministry of Rites?"
Queen Chen nodded, "Yes, I will add 10% at my discretion."
"I will show it to the Queen Mother, the Supreme Emperor, and the Emperor later, and they will add more as appropriate."
This is my thoughts as an elder.
According to the royal rules of the Northern Qi Dynasty, this is the case, but both of them are concubine princesses, so even if they add a dowry, they will not exceed the eldest princess.
After Feng Mingwei read the list and understood the basic situation, "Then if, as my sister-in-law, I purchase a dowry for the eighth princess, which exceeds the requirements for the marriage of a legitimate princess, is this considered transgression?!"
Queen Chen looked slightly startled, knowing that Feng Mingwei now owns the Juxian Building and the drugstore and is doing a prosperous business, and the amusement park will be opened soon. She is not short of money now.
Logically speaking, as the eighth princess's sister-in-law, there is nothing wrong with adding a dowry to her sister-in-law.
But from what she said, she was buying a valuable dowry and would even surpass the legitimate princess.
Queen Chen frowned, "How much dowry does Princess Lie plan to buy for the eighth princess?"
"Not much! We still have to discuss this matter with the prince."
"But I have prepared a dowry worth eighty thousand taels."
"Fengguan, I plan to design and build one for the eighth princess myself."
Eight...eighty thousand taels?
Queen Chen was shocked. Even the total dowry for the eldest princess's wedding was less than 80,000 taels. This was obviously beyond the standards of a legitimate princess and did not comply with the rules.
However, thinking that Concubine Shu would also marry a daughter, Queen Chen smiled calmly: "The Eighth Princess is really lucky to have a sister-in-law like you. As long as the dowry prepared by the Ministry of Rites does not exceed the specifications, there will be no problem."
