The concubine will not accompany you: General, Madam ran away again

Chapter 123 Dowry
Compared to Mu Yanran's somewhat relieved expression, Mu Yuqing couldn't be happier, just now Li Wang personally said that she would serve Princess Hou Li.

At first she also thought it was a joke, because everyone knew that Li Wang was here to give the betrothal gift this time, since Mu Yanran refused to marry, and she expressed her willingness to marry on her behalf, then the position of Li Wang is not hers.

Even if it is taken ten thousand steps back, King Li dislikes her status as a concubine and cannot be a concubine, and a concubine, or even a side concubine, cannot escape.

But he never expected that Cheng Yaojin would come out halfway.

This Mu Shuyao is really haunted, why is she everywhere?He used to compete with himself for the position of the concubine's daughter in the mansion, but now he is now competing with her for the position of Princess Li. It's really hateful!
wait!If she became Princess Li, would she have to serve her by herself?Thinking of this possibility, Mu Yanran felt bad.

"My lord, that minister..." Mu Yuqing was still kneeling on the ground, reaching out to grab the hem of Chu Yuchen's robe, but was kicked away by Wufei, who had a sharp eye and quick hands, and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Everyone's eyes focused on Mu Yuqing again, and she was trembling all over, and said cautiously, "I just want to ask..."

"Bold, you should call yourself a slave girl now." Chu Yuchen didn't even give her a look. Now his thoughts are all on Mu Shuyao. It seems that his Yaoyao is a little angry. He also knows his behavior of cutting first and playing later. It aroused her disgust, but he just couldn't control it, especially when he saw her talking happily with Gu Rongxuan, he felt sour.

Moreover, I heard from Liang Yingfan that Luo Hui often asked him about the situation in the Mu Mansion, and every time he intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic up to Yaoyao, which was not a good sign.

This made him feel a sense of crisis in his heart, so he asked the emperor for an order to settle her down earlier, knowing that she would be angry, he specially picked such a day to save Mu Yongnian's face.

Unexpectedly, the fifth young lady of the Mu Mansion is even more powerful, she even said that she is a slave and a maidservant. Didn't she always dislike Yaoyao before?When the time comes, let her go to the palace to be a rough envoy for Yaoyao.

"My lord, no matter how you say it, the young girl is also the daughter of the Mu family." Mu Yongnian said with some embarrassment. After all, it was Mu Yuqing who said it herself, and she just followed her words.

"My lord, my servant, no, it's a servant girl who only serves the lord." Mu Yuqing raised her head, tears welling in her eyes. I really feel pity for that look, even a man would be tempted, but unfortunately, Chu Yuchen still Without even looking at her, she focused all her attention on Mu Shuyao, and waved to a nun behind her.

When Mu Yongnian saw it, it was Nanny Gui, the female official who served the emperor closely.

Nanny Gui glanced at Mu Yongnian, and said with a smile: "Master Mu, the marriage between His Royal Highness Prince Li and the daughter of the Mu family's concubine was arranged since childhood. Today, I am here to hire Miss under the emperor's order. Since This engagement was originally made for Miss Shuyao, our prince will not embarrass others."

As he spoke, he took out the gift list from his sleeve and handed it to Mu Yongnian himself, "Master Mu, please see if these betrothal gifts are in compliance with the rules?"

? Mu Yongnian took it respectfully, unfolded it and read it carefully.Mrs. Wang also came forward, and even the old lady who had just been notified couldn't help being curious, and moved over together.

But these three people looked at it for a while, and then collectively sank their faces.

What kind of gift list is this called?Doting more than the prince, the dowry gift from His Royal Highness Li Wang!
Aunt Jin saw that the faces of the three people were not right, she took two steps forward quietly, and glanced at it, only to see that there was written on it——

500 taels of silver to thank the Mu family for their kindness in giving birth.

A load of cakes, eight types of seafood, two pairs of male and female chickens, five catties of pork, two pieces of dace, four jars of aged wine, four pieces of Jingguo, two cans of tea, twelve catties of rice, three catties and two taels of sugar.

Finally, a pair of gold bracelets.

Even Aunt Jin was dumbfounded by such a gift list, and several people looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to answer the words.

Chu Yuchen and Nanny Gui looked at each other, and the corners of their lips twitched to varying degrees. Nanny Gui asked, "Why, does Master Mu have any objections?"

Feng Jin Yuan bit the bullet and asked, "Dare to ask Mommy, does the Emperor know the contents of this gift list?"

Nanny Gui nodded, "It was agreed by His Majesty and King Li personally. Master Mu is not satisfied?"

Mu Yongnian felt that if he didn't say anything, it would not be a matter of Mu Shuyao's face, but a matter of the entire Mu family's face.

So he said again: "I'm afraid this gift list is indeed inappropriate?"

"Oh! Master Mu thinks something is wrong?" Chu Yuchen sat in a wheelchair, playing with his nails, "Is it against Tianli's wedding ceremony, or does Master Mu think it's too shabby?" ?”

Mu Yongnian quickly shook his head, "Of course not, it's just that if the common people marry according to this gift, it's fine for this family of princes and generals... I'm afraid it's really inappropriate?"

Chu Yuchen was finally willing to look at Mu Yongnian, "Master Mu, it's good that the common people follow the rules. This gift list was agreed by the king himself and the Lord Long Live. The king is the people of Tianli first, and then the people of Tianli." Your Majesty, what does Lord Mu think?"

feel?What else can I think!Mu Yongnian thought angrily, no one in Tianli would dare to object to what the emperor agreed with you.

In the end, he had to take a deep breath, handed the certificate of ceremony to the steward to accept, and saluted Chu Yuchen: "In that case, the official will accept it according to the gift certificate."

Seeing that Mu Yongnian accepted the betrothal gift, Chu Yuchen nodded, "Lord Mu understands righteousness deeply, and Lord Long Live is really discerning." After speaking, he glanced at Nanny Gui, who clapped her palms understandingly, Immediately, someone outside the door began to carry things into the mansion according to the gift list.

The most terrible thing is that it doesn't matter if you just move things in, but there is a little eunuch under Jin Bao standing at the door and singing the gift list.

After that sound, Mu Yongnian always had the urge to ask someone to tear his mouth open, but he really didn't dare.

These betrothal gifts, not to mention the collapse of the people in the Mu Mansion, the eyes of the noble daughters outside the mansion who have not yet left the mansion also twitched.

Finally, the list of gifts was sung, and all the betrothal gifts were moved into the courtyard of the Mu Mansion.

Mu Yongnian's face was dark, and the old lady was so angry that she had to be supported by two servants to stand still.

Mrs. Wang didn't react too much. The Royal Palace did this all the time, and it was Mu Shuyao's face.

But just when everyone thought that this farce of being humiliated at the door of the house could finally come to an end, Chu Yuchen's sinister voice sounded again, "These are the betrothal gifts this king gave to the Mu family. Next, this king will give the future princess The emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to triple the dowry gift!"
