Chapter 1393 Famine and Natural Disaster 551
Princess Zhou's expression softened as she listened, and the more she listened, the more interested she became; she had been confined to the palace for more than a decade and was already tired of it.

"You are right. I feel relieved to leave the affairs of the palace to Mingyi. She manages several businesses in an orderly manner. I also know her performance in Fucheng. Her ability is suitable for being a clan wife."

The master listened to the advice, and Aunt Xu smiled and continued, "The prince has good taste. The daughter-in-law he raised from childhood is to his liking. After the prince gets married, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the palace anymore. It's time for you to enjoy your life in peace."

"you're right!"

Princess Zhou was instantly delighted, her face was filled with smiles, "I deserve to be blessed."

"Of course, the princess has enjoyed a life of luxury since she was young."

Princess Zhou was very happy to be coaxed. As long as she didn't feel jealous of her son's efforts, all other aspects were good.

In the eyes of outsiders, the northwest is a veritable paradise; the Central Plains and foreign races covet it, but unfortunately, they can only dream about it. The soldiers are weak, food and grass are in short supply, and supplies are scarce. It is already difficult to survive, let alone start a war and realize their ambitions.

The next day.

Zhou Ting walked into the Cheng residence again and told Mingyi everything he had discussed with his mother without reservation.

"All the betrothal gifts prepared by my mother will be sent to Chengjiazhuang, and the betrothal gifts I have prepared will be given directly to you." No matter how much the dowry given by the Cheng family is, the betrothal gift he gives can serve as Mingyi's confidence as a dowry.

Mingyi: "."

Cover your face.

She had never heard of a man giving a separate betrothal gift to the woman.

"Is this really the result of your discussion with the princess?"

Zhou Ting moved closer to her and said in a friendly and sincere manner, "You know, I never lie to you. Originally, we were planning to send 226 betrothal gifts. After much deliberation with my mother, we finally came to this conclusion. One hundred betrothal gifts will be given to you privately, and one hundred and twenty-six will be sent to Chengjiazhuang."

Mingyi was silent, as if she was in a fog. When a family gets engaged, does it mean that the man is responsible for the woman's dowry?

"Chaosheng, you don't need to give me anything more. One hundred and twenty-six betrothal gifts are already a lot. It's not appropriate to give me more." She was greedy, but not this greedy.

She has to take it if someone gives it to her. There are 100 units, what can she get in return?

In ancient times, when prominent families got married, the betrothal gift and dowry were directly proportional; if she accepted it, she would be truly greedy.

Zhou Ting never expected that she would refuse. The way they had been getting along had always been that he was willing to give and she was willing to accept. In fact, because he had accepted many rare treasures from Ming Yi, he always wanted to compensate her more. It had worked in the past, but why not today?

"Yiyi, why not? This is given to you privately. It is not included in the betrothal gift and it will be convenient for you to use it in the future." It would be great to put it in the dowry.

Mingyi shook her head and refused to accept it.

Zhou Ting couldn't persuade her, and thought that he would give it to her after marriage. Would she refuse to accept it? By then, it would be their common property, husband and wife as one, and a shared property.

Thinking of this, he stopped worrying about it and let her do what she wanted.

When Princess Zhou heard about this, she was extremely relieved and said to Madam Xu in private, "Miss Cheng is a sensible person. She can take care of Chaosheng in the future. It would be best if we could beat Chaosheng to wake him up when he is confused."

Madam Xu smiled and said nothing. "Luckily, Chaosheng has found a good wife. I used to think my son was smart, but I never expected that he would grow up to be so muddle-headed and foolish. If others knew that he secretly gave Miss Cheng another betrothal gift, they would laugh at our palace for not being well prepared. Maybe they would even suspect that Miss Cheng had ulterior motives and was controlling the prince of the palace."

"Don't worry, Princess. The prince has been very smart since he was young. You see, apart from Miss Cheng, the only one the prince has ever been so open-hearted to is Miss Cheng. But, our Miss Cheng is kind and gentle, and she won't do anything out of line to make people laugh."

Upon hearing this, it was hard for Princess Zhou to disagree.

"So, what's the point of raising a son? It's better to raise a little girl. It would be great if Mingyi was my princess' daughter. I, the princess of the palace, will marry a man who has everything and stays with me all my life."

"Miss Cheng will marry into the palace. She will be a daughter-in-law and half-daughter, and she can always be by your side." Only when the palace is harmonious can the people below be united.

Nanny Xu was mediating subtly. No matter how the princess felt about Miss Cheng, she was guiding the princess subtly so that she would have a better impression of Miss Cheng. In the future, when the prince got married, the three masters of the palace worked together and no one dared to make moves on the palace.

She served the princess closely, and knew all the news the princess knew, unless the princess did not want her to know it. The princess never hid any news about Miss Cheng from her, and she knew Miss Cheng's abilities.

In the future, under the management of Miss Cheng, the palace may be able to reach a higher level.

The master and servant talked and laughed, and the days passed, and the border of Fucheng and Pingyang Pass were calm.

Zhou Ting was very busy with the proposal, and he could have asked his servants to prepare the things; but he prepared things for Mingyi alone, and added and subtracted some things from the betrothal gifts. After the things were ready, he sent someone to Chengjiazhuang and told them to prepare and come to propose marriage on the third day of November.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

In the busyness, a month has passed by unknowingly.

Early in the morning on the third day of November.

Princess Zhou went out with her formal entourage. Zhou Ting went to Cheng's house early in the morning to pick up Mingyi and they took a carriage to Chengjiazhuang.

Princess Zhou and Nanny Xu rode in one carriage, and Zhou Ting and Ming Yi rode in another carriage, and they marched out of the city in a grand procession.

Not only were there people protecting the princess and the prince on this trip, but there were also people carrying the betrothal gifts. There were 126 sets of betrothal gifts, and at least 200 people were needed to carry them. Together with the traveling guards, soldiers, matchmakers, and servants, not counting the secret guards hiding in the dark, they formed a long dragon.

As he walked through the streets, people stopped to watch.

The burden of carrying the betrothal gifts, tied with red flowers one after another, bent the carrying pole. The people carrying the gifts walked with heavy steps, which showed how heavy the gifts were.

"Who is going to propose marriage? Such a big event."

"The Zhou Palace should be proposing a marriage to the prince. The prince has reached the age of marriage a long time ago, but unfortunately, he has been dragged down by the war."

"There is the emblem of the Zhou Palace on the carriage. The carriage in front should be the Zhou Princess's carriage, and the one in the back should be the Crown Prince's."

"How do you know? Why isn't it King Zhou's?"

"I can tell from the looks of it that you've only come to Northwest City in the past two years."

"Hey, it's true. You figured it out. Brother, are you a native of Northwest City? You know a lot."

"That's right. I was born and raised in Northwest City, so I know a little bit about the affairs of Prince Zhou's Palace. Prince Zhou became paralyzed more than five years ago and has difficulty walking. He has been nursing him, but he still hasn't recovered. Princess Zhou has sent many people out to look for famous doctors, but unfortunately, they haven't found any."
