Chapter 113 The Dowry
"I, we, also, nothing, didn't give away..." Mrs. Qin Guogong cried pear blossoms with rain, sobbing and choking, and she could tell at a glance that it really hurt her heart.

Mrs. Xia suddenly stopped crying, and even said with joy on her face: "Since the princess is allergic to pollen, she is willing to give these precious flowers to me, why don't I take this opportunity to express my heart to His Majesty? When using money, I will take the opportunity to do my best, one is for peace of mind, and the other is to make His Majesty smile, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds, no, the best of the three.”

"Great idea!" Mrs. Qin Guogong praised her highly, looked at her hands, and suddenly took off some jade bracelets, agate bracelets, and gemstone rings.

Mrs. Qin Guogong didn't think it was enough, so she took off most of the hairpins on her head. She looked very clean at the moment, but she was very handsome, even if she didn't wear any hairpins, she was not inferior to this spring.

Madam Xia saw that she was so generous, without saying a word, she almost took off all the jewels and hairpins on her body.

Mrs. Wei followed silently.

No one in the booth cried anymore, they were all dumbfounded by the sudden scene, and they had already reacted with a clear mind.

What kind of flower viewing party is clearly an opportunity to ask them for money for His Majesty!
And Mrs. Qin Guogong's sentence "We didn't send anything", is it ridiculous?

Last month, they sent gold box after box to the palace, isn't it a congratulatory gift?

It is obvious that His Majesty does not want to hold the Longevity Festival, why is it so pitiful now?

To put it bluntly, you can have a glass of wine while giving gifts to others. Your Majesty is fine, you can only go in and out.

Many people in the pavilion were gritted their teeth to raise money at the beginning, and now they feel resentful, which is not difficult to understand.

So, Mrs. Li, Mrs. Qingtian of Taipu Temple, and Mrs. Zhou of Honghe Temple, etc. said in embarrassment: "Look, this is really a coincidence, and my wife didn't know it would be like this... Otherwise, wear more Here are a few."

"That's right, that's right, the court lady thinks that the princess always likes to be quiet and elegant, so she doesn't dare to wear jewels, for fear of polluting the princess' eyes."

"It's the same for my wife. I really can't get rid of these shabby silver hairpins and silver bracelets. Why don't I go to my wife's house and order someone to bring some good ones."

In the end, what she said was quite ugly, even though Princess Yan had prepared herself enough, she still couldn't help but blush.

But just now she was crying pear blossoms with rain, her makeup was pale, and she perfectly concealed her shame.

She pretended to be shocked and said: "What are you doing! I am just expressing emotion, you are like this... How can I deal with myself? Even with His Majesty, I can't explain it."

Why can't I explain?His Majesty can only smile.Someone couldn't help muttering in their hearts.

Princess Yan wanted to put the hairpin on the hairpin and Mrs. Qin Guogong personally, but she dodged left and right and refused. In the end, Mrs. Xia held Princess Yan's hand and said solemnly: "Princess, don't refuse, my wife can't take your majesty for nothing. If the princess is really sorry, it will be fine if the ministers and wives choose two more pots of scholars from the Eighteen Kingdoms."

Princess Yan hurriedly said: "Hello, scholars from the Eighteen Kingdoms, Peony is your original match."

Mrs. Qin Guogong is not happy, she just feels that Princess Yan is too flattering Mrs. Xia, with her flat face, she is not worthy of peony, she is the peony in the flower, okay?

Princess Yan has a keen mind, she immediately noticed it, and hurriedly said: "My wife is not only beautiful and beautiful, but also gentle and charming. She is suitable for another flower, the flower fairy and flower god."

"The princess is talking about Shaoyao?" Mrs. Qin Guogong covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly. Her son was almost an adult, but she still faintly smiled like a daughter.

The gazebo, which was still crying just now, started laughing and laughing again not long after, led by Princess Yan and several noble wives, everyone began to discuss what kind of flowers to bring later.

Most people still sell the face of Princess Yan, more or less, they all show the attitude of doing their best.Even if a few people were secretly dissatisfied, it was not easy to explode in front of Princess Yan and everyone, and they all secretly "drinked" this breath, and at least donated a good-looking jade bracelet.

As for the silver hairpins and silver bracelets that can't be taken out, no one really shows embarrassment by taking them out.

Not long after, the stone table in the gazebo was covered with hairpins and jewelry of various colors. Princess Yan was greatly moved and she shed tears silently.

If the crying just now had an element of drama, it was really moved at this time.

Before the "Flower Appreciation Party" started, she had already thought very clearly that even if she had the cheek to ask for it in person, at most each person would donate one or two money, just to save face.But looking at the ladies now, they are all cleaner than the other, and they don't look a bit extravagant.

Before Princess Yan ordered people to collect these valuables, she suddenly raised her voice, which shocked everyone.

"Go and get me the dowry list."

Everyone held their breath, not quite understanding what Princess Yan meant by this move.

It wasn't until everyone watched her put a thick stack of dowry slips on the stone table that they understood what she meant.

"Princess, how can this be done?" Mrs. Xia was shocked.

"Yes, princess, this is your dowry, put it away quickly." Mrs. Wei persuaded repeatedly.

Mrs. Qin Guogong was so startled that she couldn't speak. Like everyone else, she stared at the thick dowry list in a daze.

Princess Yan made up her mind, so she counted all those jewels in the register in front of everyone, including the owner of the jewels.After finishing these, she ordered someone to seal the box and sent it to the palace without stopping.

It wasn't until then that she spit out what was in her heart.

"On behalf of His Majesty and the royal family, I thank you all for your generosity."

As he said, Princess Yan wanted to salute to the wives, how could this happen, all the wives frantically stopped him, Princess Yan's salute was not successful.

"There is an old saying that there are no eggs under the overturned nest. When the country is in danger, everyone is responsible, and we, as women, are also responsible."

"The princess said so!"

"The princess is right!"

Everyone was mobilized with enthusiasm, and even those who were muttering in their hearts did not dare to mutter anymore.

Everyone understands the truth, cutting flesh hurts everyone, Yu Xiaojia is helpless, and everyone is even more helpless.

If they really wanted to weigh the pros and cons, they would naturally have to follow everyone else first.

Without a country, where can we have a home?
……

Ji Qiang received three big boxes of jewellery, and felt dizzy again.

When she found a stack of thick booklets on one of the boxes, she opened it to see what was inside, as if struck by lightning.

"Linglu!" She yelled out the window, "Get out of here!"

Linglu trotted, trembling, very puzzled, Princess Yan raised so much money for His Majesty, His Majesty should be happy, why did he look at the little flame hidden under that calm face?
"what is this!"

Ji Qiang threw the dowry list to Linglu.

God, earth, Linglu is dumbfounded... He dares to swear on his life, he never asked Princess Yan for a dowry, not to mention the dowry, he never opened his mouth to her old man, it's not a matter of daring, really It's him and his majesty who have to lose face!

They are already very grateful to Princess Yan for helping them, so how dare they let her old man spend money again!
Ji Qiang stared at Linglu, telling him that he didn't have the guts, so he ordered quietly for a while: "Quickly invite the princess into the palace."
