Chapter 82 She is overstepping her control!(2/2)

Liu Yuerong couldn't help but resented that all the men in this world only wanted good looks. Xue Qingyin was not good at poetry and had made many jokes at banquets before. How could King Wei like her if he was so talented?

Liu Yuerong took two breaths before suppressing the anger in her chest.

Fortunately... Xue Qingyin married King Xuan. Fortunately, she is a concubine. How can she be as beautiful as me?

Liu Yuerong was about to smile when her personal maid walked towards her quickly with a tight face.

"girl."

Liu Yuerong asked her: "What's the matter? You're so flustered and out of shape."

The maid said with a bitter face: "The Ministry of Rites has also sent gifts to the Xue family."

Liu Yuerong said: "This is natural. Even though she is a concubine, she still has to pay tribute."

The maid looked even more bitter: "How many boxes do we have here in total?"

Liu Yuerong waved over the list and said: "Sixty-nine boxes."

It was an auspicious number.

The maid said: "That's right, they have all been carried in. But the Xue family is still carrying in a steady stream... There are definitely more than sixty-nine boxes."

Liu Yuerong's heartbeat suddenly increased rapidly, and her brows lit up with joy: "How dare she go beyond the control?"

I wish I could ask my father to report to His Majesty right away.

The maid said: "Young lady misunderstood, it's not that the Ministry of Rites overstepped the rules. It's that for some reason, the soldiers of Prince Xuan's Mansion carried many boxes of betrothal gifts from the Prince's Mansion and sent them to the Xue family."

The maid couldn't help but say with envy: "It took a hundred carriages and a long queue. Now everyone in the city should be aware of it."

Liu Yuerong was stunned on the spot: "Prince Xuan... sent it as a gift?"

The maid nodded.

Liu Yuerong bit her lip: "She has gained so much limelight and overshadowed me. Doesn't that count as overstepping the limit?"

The maid was confused.

She doesn't know either.

Liu Yuerong asked again: "Where is His Royal Highness the King of Wei?" She still had some hope in her heart and said: "I may not care, but this is clearly disrespectful to the King of Wei. I'm afraid the King of Wei cannot bear it."

Naturally, he will find a way to compete with King Xuan...

The news soon spread to the Wei Palace.

King Wei's injury was almost healed. When he suddenly heard the news, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"It's a pity that Qing Yin matches him. My brother doesn't understand the charm..." King Wei shook his head repeatedly.

The people below asked again: "King Xuan is acting like this, raising a concubine so high, and asking Your Highness how your principal concubine should handle herself?"

The King of Wei was puzzled: "What does she love and do with her? What does it have to do with me?"

The person below choked and said again: "But, your Highness's face..."

King Wei sighed: "If people in the world see what a dull woman that daughter Liu is, they will understand me."

The most important thing is that the property of Prince Wei's palace is not many. It is just because his maternal family, the Xu family, is quite famous among Confucian scholars. If it is exposed to the smell of copper too much, it will be unsightly.

The king of Wei also had many concubines, and banquets with literati also cost money.

Although the emperor loved him and gave him enough rewards, the gifts given by the emperor could not be exchanged for money.

The huge palace of the Wei Dynasty relied entirely on the fiefdom for food supply. If there was a major disaster on the fiefdom that year, the food supply would naturally be greatly reduced.

To sum it up, it’s not that much money.
