At this time, the palace people reported, "Princess Lie has arrived."
The Queen Mother was furious and said, "Let her get out."
Concubine Jin's face was a little ugly. How disrespectful was she to Princess Lie, so she didn't give face to let people come in?
Of course, it was impossible for Feng Mingwei to really roll in. The wind was blowing on the soles of her feet, as if lotus flowers were growing at every step.
"Meet the Queen Mother, ladies and gentlemen."
The Queen Mother couldn't wait to ask in a cold voice: "Why did you prepare a dowry of 80,000 taels for the eighth princess?!"
Feng Mingwei did not answer immediately, but looked at Empress Chen in confusion. Empress Chen then continued what she had just said to criticize Concubine Shu, and smiled, "After reporting to my mother, I have seen it, and the ceremony department has prepared the dowries for the two princesses.
The lists are all the same, and there is no violation or violation of the rules.”
"The other 80,000 taels for the Eighth Princess are Princess Lie's thoughts as her sister-in-law. Princess Lie loves the Eighth Princess and wants to buy her a more dowry. It is all out of her sister-in-law's love for her sister-in-law. I think this is not inappropriate.
OK."
Concubine Xian twirled her handkerchief and touched her nose and lips, with a hint of a theatrical sneer in her eyes, "Sister is right. I also think that Concubine Lie loves the Eighth Princess, so there is nothing wrong with giving her a little more dowry. However,
The two princesses got married together, and the eighth princess’s dowry was several times higher than that of the ninth princess. Isn’t this an intentional step on the ninth princess’s face?”
Concubine De smiled softly, "Indeed, we are all one family, and everything will be prosperous when we are together. This brings us glory in front of the Ninth Princess. Although the Eighth Princess is getting married in great glory, the Ninth Princess has lost her face. What will outsiders do?
See? I’m afraid I’ll just think that the royal family favors the eighth princess too much, which is really unfair.”
"Furthermore, the eighth princess's dowry is not only several times higher than that of the ninth princess, but it even exceeds that of the eldest princess. This will make people feel that the royal family does not distinguish between legitimate children and concubines."
Empress Chen wanted to win over Prince Lie, and she didn't care about a concubine princess passing over her daughter, the eldest princess.
Concubine Xian and the others knew that they couldn't crack the hard nut like Feng Mingwei. If they couldn't get it, they would destroy it and they would not let the queen succeed.
The two looked at Queen Chen with smiles, "Sister, do you think so?"
Queen Chen sneered in her eyes, raised her lips, ignored them, and just looked at the Queen Mother.
Seeing that the words of the two concubines were quite pleasant, the Queen Mother softened her expression slightly, and took this opportunity to accuse Feng Mingwei, "Concubine De, Concubine Xian is right, you are doing this to deliberately step on the face of the ninth princess and harm the royal family.
Face, the Ai family does not allow it, the dowry of 80,000 taels...either you take it back, or the two princesses split it in half."
Concubine Shu and the Ninth Princess were instantly happy, and they were naturally excited to have picked up a dowry for nothing.
Concubine Jin's face turned ugly.
Feng Mingwei felt a little drowsy listening to their noise, but when she heard that the dowry was half and half, she cheered up and said, "What did the Queen Mother say? I didn't hear clearly. Please say it again."
She pretended not to hear and asked again and again.
The Queen Mother Chen glanced at the Queen Mother, with a mocking smile on her lips: "The Queen Mother means to save the royal family's face. I hope that Princess Lie can understand the general situation and take the overall situation into consideration. For the sake of fairness, the dowry of 80,000 taels will be given to the Ninth Princess and the Eighth Princess."
Divide it in half."
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "Well, speaking of which, you are also the sister-in-law of the Ninth Princess. It makes no sense to only give the Eighth Princess a dowry and not prepare a share for the Ninth Princess."
"Since it is your heart as a sister-in-law, it is not appropriate to give eighty thousand taels to the eighth princess, so let's split it half and half!"
The queens all looked at Feng Mingwei.
Concubine Shu's eyes were provocative and proud.
Everyone else looked at the show.
Feng Mingwei stared at the old lady and couldn't help but want to laugh. The veins in the corners of her eyes were filled with anger, but she smiled gently and brightly, and her tone was gentler than anyone else, "The Queen Mother is right, I was careless for a moment."
Not thoughtful enough.”
"Since the Queen Mother feels that it is against the rules for Prince Lie's Palace to give the Eighth Princess a dowry of eighty thousand taels, then I will not give the Eighth Princess this dowry."
"It will be the same thing when I serve tea to my sister-in-law when she gets married and then give her a red envelope."
"In this way, people will never feel that they are marrying in the face of the ninth princess and losing the royal dignity."
"Do you think this is reasonable?"
She spoke in a soft voice, and those who didn't know thought she was easy to handle.
The Queen Mother's face turned pale, "You..."
No one thought she would do this. They thought she would directly have sex with the Queen Mother.
Unexpectedly, the strategy changed.
It's simply speechless.
Seeing that her daughter-in-law was smart, Concubine Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then sat down and stopped talking.
The duck she got flew away, and Concubine Shu was naturally not willing to give in. She couldn't help showing a ferocious look in her eyes, "I think you are deliberately trying to embarrass the Ninth Princess."
