The Duke's Palace of the Song Dynasty came to present and collect gifts, but he actually looked down upon their Jingnan Palace?!
The maids and women were filled with indignation.
The smile on Princess Nankang's face also froze, "Why did Mrs. Song say this?"
Mrs. Song Er said hurriedly, "What I said is not unfounded. A few days ago, Mr. Guo heard some rumors from somewhere, saying that the family had only prepared a dowry of 20,000 taels for the head of Xirou County. Mr. Guo
Madam when
I felt shabby at that time. The Duke said that although the King of Jingnan held a lot of troops and was famous, he was an upright official, never corrupt, let alone accepting bribes. Even the old lady in the house did not accept birthday gifts on her birthday, which is evident.
"
"County Master Xirou is the apple of King Jingnan's eye. If he had not been able to get more, he would never have wronged County Master Xirou like this. This marriage is a marriage granted by the Queen Mother, and the wedding banquet must be as beautiful as possible.
The Jingnan Prince's Mansion cannot give much to County Lord Xirou, and the Duke of Song's Mansion can't make up for it, so the Nacai gift has been increased by sixteen tons."
After hearing this, the princess of Nankang immediately denied, "How is this possible? The prince is an upright man, but he has made countless meritorious services, and the emperor's rewards alone are countless. How could he only give Rou'er a dowry of 20,000 taels? There are rumors.
That's all, it's not trustworthy."'
Mrs. Song Er said with a smile, "What is the dowry given to County Master Xirou?"
"At least thirty thousand taels!" Princess Nankang blurted out.
After saying that, Princess Nankang looked at the princess and said, "Princess, do you agree?"
The princess was drinking tea, and she just came to go through the motions. Apart from saying hello, she didn't say a word or two for so long. At this time, Princess Nankang asked her, and the princess looked at her blankly, "I was distracted.
,What did the princess just ask me?"
She was really not afraid of embarrassment when she was distracted when receiving guests. As a concubine, Princess Nankang did not have any respect for the princess. She directly said in the tone of a superior, "Let me ask you, how much dowry has the palace prepared for Rou'er?"
As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Su Tang was worried. Wasn't this clearly a trap for the princess? But when she was about to go in, Xie Boting grabbed her wrist.
Xie Boting shook his head at Su Tang.
Su Tang frowned, and then the princess's answer came out
"Twenty thousand taels," the princess replied seriously.
"..."
puff.
Su Tang stood outside the main hall and couldn't help laughing.
Princess Nankang's face immediately turned green.
Mrs. Song Er looked embarrassed.
Su Tang had a lot of fun watching it. Princess Nankang and Mrs. Song's second wife were trying to get a dowry for Xie Rou in such a roundabout way, but the princess had to be so stubborn to expose it.
Princess Nankang glared at the princess, "Are you so disrespectful of the face of our Jingnan Palace?!"
The princess also wanted to take care of it, but Su Tang spent so much effort to suppress Princess Nankang and force the prince to recognize Xie Roushu's identity. If she really obeyed Princess Nankang's words, Su Tang's previous efforts would be in vain.
Su Tang protects her as a mother-in-law, so how can she cause trouble for her with a casual word?
As long as she tells the truth, not even the prince can blame her.
As for face...
She didn't think the prince cared much about his face.
Princess Nankang was so angry that Su Tang walked in and said with a smile, "The concubine is asking the wrong question. The concubine herself doesn't know how much dowry the family has prepared for the eldest girl. How could the mother concubine know?
The only correct number is that Wangfu Gong came out with two
Ten thousand taels, there is a lot I don’t know, how much the princess gave to the eldest daughter, how much the father gave, the old lady and several aunts, and even the princes, ministers, nobles in the palace...
This number will never be known until the day he comes out of the cabinet."
