Chapter 312 Let the queen come to see me
Chapter 310 Let the Queen Come to See Me

"We're getting married for the first time. Are you a little nervous?" Jiang Li looked at Ning Chen who was fidgeting beside him, and said with a teasing smile.

"It's a lie to say I'm not nervous." Ning Chen spread his hands, "I don't understand anything."

"Coincidentally." Jiang Li followed suit with a smile: "I don't understand either."

Ning Chen smiled knowingly. Although it was his first time, his adoptive father was still single until now.

"Although the three books and six etiquettes are all kept simple, but looking at the process on the list, I'm afraid it will make people tired." Although Ning Chen was complaining, the expectation that flashed from time to time has been slightly exposed broke his mind.

"It's strange to say." Ning Chen leaned gently in front of the door, and said to Jiang Li: "Today we are here waiting for the dowry in the palace, but I don't remember when the foster father gave the dowry~"

"Of course it's the Tianshan snow lotus. Do you think it's easy for me to marry you a wife? I almost lost my life~" Jiang Li waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "It's just that Yao'er has transformed into His Majesty's personal princess. .Your boy will suffer in the future."

"Crackling."

"Dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong dong~"

It was the sound of firecrackers, and the sound of beating gongs and drums, resounding throughout Anning Street.

Anning Street can be regarded as a high-end villa area in Jinling. To start a business here, it is not enough just to have money, what is important is to have power.

People here have known for a long time that there will be a dowry sent to the Ning Mansion in the palace today, and they have come out to see it more or less. After all, the size and value of the dowry largely represent that the palace attaches great importance to Ning Chen. There is Xia Yao's position in the empress's heart.

The queen already knew Xia Yao's background, although it was shameful for Jiang Li to use a Tianshan snow lotus as a betrothal gift to determine Yao'er's background, but she also knew that it was the order of her parents.

The empress thought that Tianshan snow lotus was nothing unusual, so she said to Xia Yao: "Jiang Li uses one Tianshan snow lotus as a betrothal gift, and mother will crush him with ten!"

The queen is not clear about these things, but the emperor knows, after all, he has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for a while.

When the queen told him that she wanted ten Tianshan snow lotuses as a dowry, the emperor's face was as ugly as if he was constipated~
Almost made the emperor say: "Do you think Tianshan snow lotus is Chinese cabbage?"

"I can't get it." The emperor shook his head and said to the queen, "This thing is hard to come by, even if you are willing to pay a high price for it, someone has to sell it~"

Priceless.

"Very precious?" The queen was a little puzzled.

"Yes." The emperor nodded, stretched out one of his palms, and said to the queen, "The number may not exceed five."

"It's a pity that Ning Chen didn't take this thing himself." The queen said with some disappointment: "Otherwise, it would be a good story about the couple."

Fortunately, Xia Yao just listened to the empress' bold words, otherwise the empress would be ashamed.

But even so, the empress still found ten items that were no less than Tianshan snow lotus as dowry gifts.

A pair of scissors. This pair of scissors is unusual. One side is in the shape of a dragon and the other is in the shape of a phoenix. They fly together, and the bite of the two pieces symbolizes the union of the dragon and the phoenix.The empress specially ordered the craftsmen in the palace to build it, and it is the only one in the world.

If this is the case, it doesn't mean that the scissors are qualified to be compared with the Tianshan snow lotus, but the empress's words make the scissors surpass the Tianshan snow lotus in a certain sense.

"Seeing this scissors is like seeing Bengong."

And specially sent someone to notify Ning Chen, if you dare to bully Xia Yao, let Xia Yao cut off your descendants~~
When Ning Chen saw the golden scissors that were half the height of a person, his heart was cold. Needless to say, the roots of descendants can be cut off~
With the queen in the palace as a backer, I'm afraid she will be overwhelmed in the future!

Then, there is a set of components, called descendants bucket, which consists of three pieces.

It is a three-piece set of jade from the Western Regions. The toilet made of topaz jade is called the treasure bucket of children and grandchildren, implying early children, health and wisdom; the foot basin made of white jade jade is called the treasure basin, implying health and prosperity; Treasure barrel, implying hard work and progress, a successful career.

Although they are only the size of a palm, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this thing is priceless.

The fifth item is that this Yueyang fief is Xia Yao's food town. When other people give it away, they always send a ruler symbolically, implying that there are thousands of hectares of fertile land. With a wave of the emperor's hand, the whole Yueyang is counted as Xia Yao Yao's fiefdom, alone, has exceeded the actual value of Tianshan Snow Lotus.

The next thing is different, although it looks like just ordinary red dates, peanuts, longan, lotus seeds.

But these things are all excellent medicines presented by Yaodu Gujin to the imperial court. The red dates are called Shanyang dates, and taking one pill can keep you young for three years;
Peanuts are also not common, they are called intimate pills, after people eat them, they will enter a three-month hibernation period, during which they are like dead people;

Longan is called Xuming Wan, and even a dying person can live for another three days after taking it;

The lotus seed is the most important thing among them, and there is no special name. After taking it, it will only be effective for three hours, but within these three hours, it will explode ten times more powerful than its own skill.

But after three hours, his martial arts will be useless, even if he is not dead, he will be like a useless person.

Of course, the original meaning of these things is to give birth to a precious child early.

The good things in the palace really shouldn't be underestimated. Ning Chen looked at the four things in front of him with bursts of surprise. One must know that putting any one on the rivers and lakes is enough to set off a bloody storm.

This last set opened Ning Chen's horizons even more. Boxes of all sizes were lined up on both sides of the street. Next to each box was a very beautiful maid. Ning Chen roughly counted. There are more than 100 maids in total.

In other words, there are more than one hundred dowry in the back.

"Master Ning." At this time, the "dowry officer" who was in charge of escorting the dowry said to Ning Chen, "The last thing is this 'Ten Miles of Red Makeup'."

"I said Lord Hou." Ning Chen gently pulled the "makeup officer" over, and asked, "Is this too exaggerated?"

This make-up officer is none other than Zhu Lingyun, a prince adopted by the emperor from another brother.

He was not qualified to inherit the throne, and was named a Xiaohou by the emperor, and now he is working in Hulong Villa.

At the moment, the strong man is also caught.

"It's not an exaggeration." Xiao Hou said to Ning Chen: "The queen mother still thinks that the gift is too little."

Although Xiaohou also referred to the empress as his mother, after all, he was only adopted to the emperor's knee. He only recognized his father, not his mother.

"I said, we are about the same age." Xiao Hou looked at Ning Chen and said, "Plus Yao'er is also my sister now, and we will be considered a family from now on."

"Yeah, that's natural." Ning Chen nodded, otherwise what else could be said?
"I'm afraid that something will be asked of you in the future, so you must not refuse." Xiao Hou said again.

"Those who are within my ability will definitely not refuse." Ning Chen nodded and said, but he didn't finish his sentence.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Hou left Ning Mansion.

"This dowry always makes me think I'm a poor man." Ning Chen looked helplessly at the sky.

Actually, is Ning Chen poor now?

No, Ning Chen's wealth comes from two places, one is the water transportation of Poyang Lake, and the other is the sea business of Duling Island~~
But speaking of the dowry in front of his eyes, even if Ning Chen is a rich man now, even if he has lost his fortune, he might not be able to collect these things.

A palace is a palace after all.

"What about the dowry?" Ning Chen looked at Jiang Li who had come out of the mansion and asked.

"I've already shown off." Jiang Li sighed lightly, and continued, "Of course I'm going to move back."

"Do you feel overwhelmed?" Jiang Li looked at Ning Chen and asked.

"Yeah." Ning Chen didn't refute, but admitted generously.

"Actually, this also means that the Empress really likes Yao'er, and Your Majesty really likes you." Jiang Li said to Ning Chen.

"I understand all of this." Ning Chen shook his head helplessly, and continued, "But I always feel that it's weird to have to behave like this."

"Forget it." Ning Chen didn't wait for Jiang Li to speak, and suddenly smiled: "Besides, this is a good thing, how can there be any reason to reject it?"

Ning Chen directed everyone to carry things into the mansion one by one.

I thought these maids were just for decoration, but when Ning Chen let them go back, I realized that this was one of the dowries given to Yao'er by the empress, and there were 120 or eight of them.

The bigger the mansion is, the more people will use it, so Ning Chen accepts them all.

After all, she is a maid from the palace, not to mention pretty, she knows the rules.

There may be some double-minded people in it, but Ning Chen doesn't care, the future will be long; the other one is also afraid of offending the queen, after all, it is something she rewarded.

The rest of the people in the mansion generally understood something, and returned to their homes one after another, put away the gifts they had prepared, and ordered their capable cronies to prepare more sincere gifts.

Ning Chen is unusual, and the one named Xia Yao is even more unusual.

The dowry is for the woman's husband's family to use, but now there is a benefit that reassures the queen slightly, that is, Ning Chen is an orphan and has no parents, so the so-called dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law does not exist here.

The queen also heard some things about Ning Chen's father from the emperor, and she sympathized with the child's experience.

At the same time, he became very interested in Ning Buzheng who had no chance to meet him.

In the Queen's memory, there are few people who can make the Emperor never forget, and Ning Buzheng is one of them.

Xia Yao sat in front of a mirror, and a mother-in-law was combing her hair with a comb.

I heard from my mother that this mother-in-law is a hair comber who specializes in combing the hair of married girls.

"One comb to the end, two combs until the white hair reaches the eyebrows, three combs until the children and grandchildren are all over the ground, and four combs until the four silver shoots are all neat." The mother-in-law suddenly shouted this sentence, which made Xia Yao suddenly trembling.

After a while, Xia Yao started to enjoy the process and closed her eyes.

It seems to be looking forward to my future days.

"Are you going to get married tomorrow?" Xia Yao's face blushed a little, because these days the empress has discovered that Xia Yao has no idea about matters between men and women.

So he personally trained and taught Xia Yao this knowledge from beginning to end.

Sometimes in addition to preaching, you may also need to teach by example.

"Ning Chen, this little bastard, knows some rules." The queen thought secretly.

After all, the two were alone in the same room before, so the empress must be worried.

Right now, Xia Yao must have thought of something indescribable~
Ning Chen on the other side.

I also had the same experience, but Ning Chen knew the process beforehand, and was not startled by the sudden singing of the hair comber.

"Grandmother Guigeng." Ning Chen was chatting with her instead.

"Five out of forty." The mother-in-law chuckled lightly.

Anyone who can be a combing woman is particular about it. She needs to have all relatives, and a mother-in-law full of children and grandchildren is too good.

The so-called six relatives are father, mother, brother (sister), brother (sister), wife (husband), and child (daughter).

What I'm asking for is auspiciousness.

At ten o'clock at noon, another maid from the palace brought a group of people to Ning Mansion.

The leader is A Zhu who met once last time.

"Miss Ah Zhu is here to warm the house?" The person in charge of reception was Ling Su, who was a teacher in Bijiafang.

"Yes." A'Zhu smiled lightly, and said, "Is this Sister Lingsu?"

"You recognize me?" Lingsu was a little surprised.

"The princess often mentions my sister." A'Zhu said with a light smile.

Lingsu and the four little girls also moved from Biefu to Ningfu, and at the same time, the original team from Biefu also came. As for Biefu, Jiang Li sent some people to take care of it.

The new house is ready, just simple furnishings, waiting for A'Zhu to arrange it.

The next day, with the sound of firecrackers, Ning Chen rode a tall horse and prepared eight sedan chairs, and went to greet the bride.

Every time they pass by some important places, some copper plates or broken silver will be scattered.

Ning Chen's wedding party will definitely not be able to enter the palace, let alone the Zhiluo Palace where the Empress is.

A palace outside the palace.

Xia Yao sat inside quietly, besides, the Empress Empress was always by her side.

The welcoming team has arrived.

It was very lively outside the palace, but Xia Yao was even more nervous, her hands holding the empress turned white.

"Yao'er, it's time to get on the sedan chair." The queen empress is someone who has been there, so she naturally knows what Xia Yao should do now.

After Xi Niang urged her makeup three times, the Empress called a princess who had been pre-arranged, named Princess Qinghe.

Holding a red paper umbrella, Princess Qinghe sent Xia Yao out the door.

Although she was covered with a red hijab, Xia Yao could still see something.

For example, Ning Chen, who had dismounted and was waiting, and the eight-carried sedan chair behind him.

Xia Yao successfully entered the sedan chair, keeping in mind the Queen's order, never to lift the red hijab~
Under Xia Yao's seat, there is a fire box with burning charcoal and spices; there is a mat on the rear sedan chair, commonly known as "the fire box inside the sedan chair, the mat behind the sedan chair".

Ning Chen got on the horse and got up the sedan chair.

There was also a cannon sound outside the palace.

A guard ran to the emperor's ear and whispered something.

"There is such a thing?" The emperor looked at the sedan chair that had just left, frowned slightly, and then said: "Let the queen come to see me."
