Love on the Pillow: Pampering the Unscrupulous Queen

Chapter 22

"Miss, this is the dowry list sent by Madam, please have a look." Xia Meng, the maid assigned by Madam Su to Su Qing, handed Su Qing a booklet wrapped in thin red silk.

Su Qing took it and opened it to see that the three full pages were filled with small italic characters.

A red sandalwood carved bed with thousands of craftsmanship, a black sandalwood painted glazed screen, a lacquered mud gold carved three-screen mirror table...

Su Qing closed the dowry booklet in her hand, her eyes were slightly red.

The things listed above have almost emptied most of the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion. Maybe she didn't know it in the last life, but what else is she not clear about now?

In order for her to gain a firm foothold in the imperial city, a decent dowry is a must.

"I heard that Madam and Master prepared a dowry of six parts for the young lady, and the empress dowager in the palace gave a dowry of four parts, making a perfect round number." Shi Qin whispered, "It is said that it is a thousand acres of fertile land and ten miles of red makeup. It's not an exaggeration!"

There are thousands of acres of fertile land, ten miles of red makeup.

When a woman gets married, she lifts her dowry 64 times, which is called a full lift, and a full lift of her dowry, even among the noble women in the Da'an Dynasty, they can be regarded as the best.You must know that when Empress Dowager Su married the emperor, it was nothing more than Liuquan's dowry.

"Miss, Second Miss is here." The servant came in and reported.

Su Qing said lightly: "Let her in."

Since the last time she intentionally frightened the snake, Su Xuerou has really been honest for a while, she doesn't send people out to buy snacks, and she doesn't wander around where she shouldn't go.

"Sister, my sister has come to congratulate my sister. My sister is overjoyed." Su Xuerou was still dressed in white, looking fragile, with a soft and gentle voice, "My sister is so beautiful today."

Shiqin and Shishu next to her were full of anger. Today is their eldest lady's big day. Did Su Xuerou dress in white to find bad luck?
"Hmm." Su Qing sat on the edge of the bed and hummed lightly.

"My sister is not talented, so I can only embroider a pair of mandarin duck sachets for my sister. May my sister and His Royal Highness have a happy marriage for a hundred years and have a son soon." Su Xuerou said, and took out a pair of sachets and handed them to Su Qing.

Su Qing glanced at it, and found that the sachet was exquisitely made, exactly the same as the sachet given to her by Su Xuerou in her previous life.

"Leave it to the servant girl." Xia Meng stepped forward to take the sachet, and then quietly retreated to the side.

Su Xuerou bit her lower lip slightly, and then said: "It's good that my sister doesn't dislike my sister's clumsy workmanship, my sister will leave first."

"What good things can Second Miss give you? Miss, please let Xia Meng throw away that toad, it's really bad luck." The secretary immediately curled his lips in disgust.

Not to mention the monthly money that the General's Mansion sends to Su Xuerou every month, even Aunt Qiu should have accumulated a lot of property over the years, who is she humiliating with a broken sachet?
"Miss, you can't touch this sachet." Xia Meng looked at Su Qing solemnly.

The servant was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened: "Xia Meng, what do you mean by that? Could it be that there is something weird in this sachet?"

Xia Meng nodded slowly: "The slave girl smells that this sachet contains a special spice, if exposed to this spice for a long time, it will make it difficult for a woman to conceive."

Su Qing sneered when she heard the words: "Did it start from here?"

Su Xuerou, she really has something wrong with her for a long time.Thinking of her six years in the palace in her previous life and having no heirs, Su Qing clenched her fists tightly.

After noon, I heard bursts of firecrackers coming from outside.Su Qing clenched her wide sleeves unconsciously, and her beautiful face was also a little stiff.

It was Prime Minister Wang who greeted the bride. He stopped in front of Su Guogong's mansion with a mighty guard, and walked into the Guogong mansion. The people inside had already prepared the incense table, so they began to read the imperial decree.

"Nowadays, there is a female secretary of the Su family, who is auspicious to the Ding clan, who practice high morality, benevolent and respectful, and behave purely. If she has a sense of sensitivity, she will not be taught by her mother; if she has a cautious and prudent behavior, she will become a concubine by herself... to clean her up." Yan Sheng, obey his sweat, respect etiquette, and lead the East Palace. I am honored with this order, but don’t be careless!” Prime Minister Wang finished reading the imperial decree sonorously.

"The minister leads the family and takes the decree to thank you." The Duke knelt down and saluted, and a large group of Su family behind him also saluted.

Su Qing knelt in front of the incense table, and the palace servants brought the crown prince's golden album and gold treasures to Su Qing's hands, and it was considered a ceremony.

According to the rules, the bride has to be carried out by her brother, but the ceremony for the princess and concubine is different. The eight-carrying Fengluan was carried into the Duke's mansion, and Su Qing was covered with a hijab, supported by the father-in-law in the palace. Luanjia.

"Your Majesty, there is some refreshment in the sedan chair. If you are hungry, you can fill it up first. This is the order of His Royal Highness." The eunuch whispered when he lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

Su Qing paused slightly, then went to Fengluan.

The firecrackers in front were ignited immediately, and they crackled for a long time.

The welcoming team set off amidst the sound of firecrackers.

In front, there are majestic imperial guards riding horses to clear the way with quiet whips, followed by palace people in Chinese clothes carrying incense burners, followed by a team playing music, and then eunuchs who keep throwing copper coins, sachets and other things on the side of the road. Prime Minister Wang who greeted the prince on behalf of the prince.

The court lady holding a fan walks in front of Feng Luan, and Feng Luan follows a mighty motorcade of dragon flags. The flags cover the sky, and the dragon, phoenix and unicorn are printed on them, basalt to ward off evil, majestic and unstoppable.

The shops and shops in the streets and alleys were also decorated with lights and festoons, and the people on the street were all dressed in festive colors. When Feng Luan passed by, they knelt on both sides of the street and bowed their heads, not daring to look directly.

After the Longqi motorcade, followed by the dowry sending team.The front of the dowry delivery team here has already walked through several long streets, while the end of the team on the other side has not yet completed the first long street.After the dowry delivery team, another thousand imperial guards lined up.

Tianjia bearing, royal majesty, nothing more than this.

In the spacious Phoenix Luan, Su Qing lifted her hijab and looked at a small table filled with all kinds of snacks, the corners of her lips slightly raised after a while.
