The emperor's uncle is the only favorite: the mysterious doctor's crazy concubine is going

Chapter 247 Not a dowry
  Jing Muling didn't expect that Yu Qinglian would have the nerve to talk about this.
  He snorted coldly: "Madam, please don't forget that the Imperial Palace made its fortune thanks to Princess Xiaoqing. I always speak straightforwardly, and I don't want to say anything too unpleasant."
  "The dowry prepared by the Grand Master's Mansion is also to repay Princess Xiaoqing's share. Presumably, the eldest lady does not want to be stabbed in the back, saying that you are ungrateful after taking advantage of her."
  "Without Princess Xiaoqing, you wouldn't be where you are today. Am I right?"
  Yu Qinglian bit her lip tightly, wanting to say something, but she didn't know how to argue.
  Shen Heshan's face became even darker, almost as black as the bottom of a pot.
  If it had been someone else, he would have had an attack!
  Just when there was silence, a servant suddenly announced in a low voice outside: "Grand Master, someone is coming from the palace."
  Shen Heshan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the emperor knew about such a big movement and sent someone to check, and said quickly: "Please come here quickly."
  However, contrary to Shen Heshan's wish, the person who came in was not anyone from the emperor's side, but Guirong, the Queen Mother's close maid.
  Aunt Guirong looked like she didn't expect Jing Muling to be there, and she saluted with surprise: "I have met Your Highness King Yu, but I didn't expect that today is the day for your appointment. It seems that the Queen Mother has chosen the right time." .”
  "Mother Guirong, why are you here?" Jing Muling turned her head slightly and laughed when she heard the voice: "But what are the orders from the Queen Mother?"
  "No, the Queen Mother sent a slave to deliver the dowry gift list to the second young lady." Aunt Guirong took out a piece of red paper and said, "It might as well be sent to the Grand Master's Mansion for review."
  "Dowry?" Yu Qinglian was even more surprised, her eyes widened and she said, "The dowry prepared by the Queen Mother for the second young lady?"
  "Yes, madam." Sister Guirong said with a smile: "When Princess Xiaoqing got married, the Queen Mother also prepared a dowry, and the Queen Mother said so."
  "Although His Royal Highness King Yu was considered half a son when he was raised by the Queen Mother, the second lady is the legitimate daughter of Princess Xiaoqing, just like the Queen Mother's granddaughter."
  "The two of them are united, and the empress is very relieved. This dowry is a blessing to both of them."
  She said, passing the red gift slip in her hand towards Yu Qinglian.
  Yu Qinglian took it and glanced at it, her face darkened visibly.
  She said nothing and handed the gift list to Shen Heshan.
  Shen Heshan only glanced at it, and like Yu Qinglian, his expression suddenly changed.
  The Queen Mother's dowry was given in accordance with the princess etiquette. In addition to six large items and seven small items, there were also many gold, silver and jewelry.
  Moreover, the six large pieces are all made of fine golden nanmu, which comes from Wuya clan. Their value cannot be estimated by money, but more about nobility and dignity.
  Aunt Guirong said at the right time: "Most of the six items inside are from the Queen Mother when she got married. Originally, the Queen Mother planned to make a dowry for Princess Xiaoqing."
  "But Mr. Zhongyi and his wife had made preparations for the dowry a long time ago. The Queen Mother bought some more, but they were not needed for a while. It just so happened that this dowry was added to the second lady's dowry, so it was considered Come in handy."
  Shen Heshan took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, the Queen Mother, for planning for my little girl. She has even prepared the dowry."
  "Your Majesty, you're welcome." Before Shen Heshanxia could finish his sentence, Aunt Guirong answered and said, "The Queen Mother said these things are considered as a plus."
  Shen Heshan had an ominous premonition about Shanguo in his mind, and he suddenly took a sigh of relief: "What does Sister Guirong mean by this?"
  "Look at what you're asking, how can this slave mean anything?" A trace of contempt flashed through Grandma Guirong's heart, and she said, "The Queen Mother has ordered that you are the father of the second young lady."
  "The Grand Master's Mansion is the second young lady's home. Although the Queen Mother protects it, it is not as good as a blood relative. The Queen Mother cannot interfere with the dowry, so these things are not considered dowry."
  "This, this!" Shen Heshan's eyes widened. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he couldn't read. "This dowry list is clearly prepared according to the dowry."
  "From the oldest to the youngest, do the Shen family prepare two dowries for a daughter to marry?"
  "Grand Master, I'm afraid you may have misunderstood." Sister Guirong put on a smile and repeated: "These are the things the Queen Mother specially gave to the Second Young Lady. The Queen Mother said she is very old."
  "Miss Shen Er is the only junior who can talk to me. As for the princesses, they will definitely marry far away. It is not suitable for them. His Royal Highness or other princes are getting married, and it is not easy for her to pay for the dowry. "
  "It's a one-and-done thing. It's most appropriate to leave the things to the second lady. It can be considered as something to think about in the future."
  Shen Heshan finally figured it out.
  According to the wishes of the Queen Mother, she wanted to give something to Shen Zhuoxi!
  Since it is a gift, why should it be sent quietly, why should it be sent in a big way, especially in the name of a dowry gift list, specially sent to the Taishi Mansion for viewing?
  With the Queen Mother's dowry list, the Grand Master's Mansion has to focus on preparations. Even if the entire Grand Master's Mansion is empty, it still won't be able to afford it!
  Yu Qinglian glanced at Shen Heshan cautiously, and couldn't help but ask Sister Guirong: "Since the Queen Mother wants to give it to the second young lady, she can send it to Prince Yu's Mansion as a wedding gift."
  "Why go to all this trouble for you to make this trip?"
  Aunt Guirong was not in a hurry, and what she said was exactly what Shen Heshan thought: "It is the first time for the Grand Master to marry a daughter, and the Queen Mother is worried about the lack of experience in the family. Besides, the Grand Master is famous for being frugal and honest."
  Speaking of this, she paused deliberately for a moment, looked at Shen Heshan meaningfully, and said: "The Queen Mother loves the second young lady, so naturally she will not cause the second young lady to be wronged."
  Yu Qinglian also laughed, but the laughter was uglier than crying.
  Jing Muling, on the other hand, heard Sister Guirong's words and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is really in love with Zhuo Xi. Even my son, this King, is envious."
  "Oh, my lord, please don't say that." Aunt Guirong was not afraid of Jing Muling's identity. She smiled and joked with him: "When the slave comes out of the palace, what he sees is a box with big red flowers on his arm. .”
  "I've been looking at not one thousand but eight hundred along the way. The whole city is talking about it and it's uproar. They all praise His Highness King Yu for attaching great importance to the second lady's marriage. The women are even more envious."
  "If the news goes back to the palace, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will also say that you are not so kind to her."
  After saying this, Sister Guirong didn't stay long. She said hello and said she would go back to recover.
  Jing Muling also returned to Prince Yu's Mansion. He originally planned to have lunch with Shen Zhuoxi, but thinking that the things in this room still needed to be sorted out, he didn't say anything.
  The people are gone, but the boxes in the yard are still there.
  Unexpectedly, the butler was not very discerning and asked Shen Heshan how to arrange the betrothal gifts.
  Shen and Shanqi's faces turned green.
  It would be enough if the box were all gold, silver and jewelry, but Jing Muling listened to Shen Zhuoxi's suggestion and kept only an ordinary portion as a dowry, and took away the rest.
  Even the banknotes are gone. What's the use of these things? They can't be sold for any money.
  His face was as cold as ice, and he said angrily: "Since it is for the second lady, let the second lady handle it!"
