Chapter 350: The dowry is halved
When Chen Jian heard his mother say this, he knew that she had agreed.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether the mother agrees or not. After all, the emperor has verbally agreed. Even if he disagrees, it is just delaying time.
Mrs. Chen thought about it carefully, even if Chen Ming married the fifth princess, what would happen if she was just an unpopular princess and an unpopular bastard?
"Okay, I get it. Look how nervous you are. You only have eyes for this younger brother all day long, and you almost don't even have your own mother anymore." Mrs. Chen snorted coldly and looked at him quite angrily.
Chen Jian laughed aloud: "Mom, no matter what, this is the flesh and blood of our Chen family. He is also my younger brother. You can't stand him, and my son can understand it, but my son still hopes that you can see it.
The son shows a little care for his younger brother out of honor, after all, he has not had his biological mother by his side since he was a child, which is very pitiful."
After hearing what Chen Jian said, Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment and then her expression suddenly changed. Chen Jian seemed to realize that he seemed to have gone too far.
"Okay, mother, I know that you have been busy with errands at home lately, and it's very hard, so I specially asked my mother to bring some good sea cucumbers from the border area, and I will have my servants deliver them to you later.
"Chen Jian said and hurriedly left Mrs. Chen's residence.
Seeing her son leaving in a hurry, Mrs. Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness.
Chen Jian once said something very good: His Majesty asked the five princesses to choose their favorite husband at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. As soon as these words are said, whoever the five princesses like will most likely be agreed to by the five princesses. If they are offended by this,
If His Majesty's words were ignored, the consequences would be rather unimaginable.
After Chen Ming returned to Chen's house, he was worried that Mrs. Chen would come to trouble him, but he didn't see Mrs. Chen coming after waiting in the house for such a long time.
Instead, his brother Chen Jian was waiting for him.
"Looking at the way you are today, what you were thinking about must have come true, right?" Chen Jian said as he strode up to Chen Ming.
I don't know why, every time when he talks about his marriage to the fifth princess, Chen Ming's face flashes with a hint of shyness.
Such shyness is really strange compared to a grown man like him.
However, Chen Jian, who is also a man, can see from this shyness that Chen Ming attaches great importance to the fifth princess.
"I have persuaded my mother to arrange this wedding for you. Although I said you married a princess, my mother always feels a little uncomfortable, so this wedding will not be too grand. You can feel it in your heart.
Do you accept it?" Chen Jian looked at Chen Ming worriedly and asked.
"The Fifth Princess won't care about these things. Brother, just don't worry. The most important thing for two people to be together is to stay together for a long time, not these vulgar etiquette. The vulgar etiquette is only for others to see." Chen Ming thought.
Very open.
Seeing that he could think this way, Chen Jian felt completely relieved.
"That's good. If you think so, I don't have to worry about anything. I'll leave first so you can have some rest." Chen Jian said and hurriedly left Chen Ming's house.
Although Mrs. Chen has agreed to this matter, she is only a concubine, so she has reduced the betrothal gifts that should be prepared by half.
When talking about these betrothal gifts, the fifth princess suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
In any case, this bride price also proves whether her husband's family values her. For a girl like the fifth princess, she really values her very much.
So when she found out about this, the fifth princess felt bad.
"Your Highness, after all, you are also a princess in this palace. The betrothal gift sent from the imperial censor's residence is only this small. If word of this spreads out in the future, where will you put your face?" The palace maid looked displeased.
He looked at the fifth princess with understanding and said.
Even when the maids around them saw this gift, they felt that the fifth princess's gift was too shabby, so shabby that even they couldn't stand it.
The fifth princess looked at the betrothal gifts in front of her, and she didn't know what she thought of. She suddenly got up and walked towards the imperial study.
After telling the emperor about this matter, she looked at the emperor's expression and didn't want to care about it, which made the fifth princess feel a little annoyed.
After coming out of the imperial study, the five princesses walked aimlessly in the palace.
"Your Royal Highness, your Majesty may not be too concerned about your marriage recently. The Queen has her own affairs recently, so she probably can't care about it. In this case, you might as well go to the Crown Princess. I heard that the Crown Princess has the sole responsibility for your wedding.
People." The palace maid whispered in the ear of the fifth princess.
After hearing these words, the fifth princess suddenly felt relieved.
The fifth princess has always trusted Ruan Wanwan, but with her current status, it is not convenient for her to leave the palace. How can she find Ruan Wanwan?
By the way, isn’t there the fourth princess?
After asking the fourth princess to tell Ruan Wanwan about this matter, she restlessly waited for the news in the palace.
"How could such a thing happen?" When Ruan Wanwan heard about this incident, his whole mood was not very good.
She thought that Mrs. Chen might be a stumbling block for Chen Ming, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Chen would go so far and actually use the fifth princess's dowry to manipulate her.
Even Qiuyue next to her felt it was too much after hearing this.
"Go and tell the Fifth Princess, just to reassure her. I already know about this matter and will help her find a solution." After Ruan Wanwan thought about it seriously, she turned to look at the palace maid next to her and said
.
After the palace maid heard this, she knew that Ruan Wanwan would not just sit back and ignore this matter.
So after she thanked her deeply, she hurried back to the palace to look after the fifth princess.
After the palace maid left, Ruan Wanwan shook her head vigorously.
"Actually, your Majesty is pregnant now, so you don't have to worry about these things, so why should you interfere?" Qiuyue said and poured a cup of tea for Ruan Wanwan.
Ruan Wanwan held the cup of hot tea in her hand, and the light fragrance of tea lingered on the tip of her nose: "Marriage is a woman's top priority. If she just lets Mrs. Chen get through it in such a confused way, then she will not be counted as her from now on."
If she marries into the Chen family, she won't pay too much attention to her. If that's the case, it's better to end it from here."
But after thinking about it carefully, she was just a princess now. Even the prince now needed the support of the ministers in the court. She couldn't go to Mrs. Chen too recklessly.
After all, she didn't know the situation of Yu Shou's family.
