The dowry for a royal wedding is given two days before the wedding.
Liu Jingyu had a lot of dowry. It left the Liu Mansion and went along the street all the way to the Prince's Mansion.
Many people went to watch the fun, secretly comparing the dowry of this Lady Jingyu and the former Crown Princess to see which one had a bigger dowry.
It is impossible to have more dowry. After all, there are ancestral rules there. It is impossible for Liu Jingyu to exceed Ji Hanyue's dowry.
There are not many shoulders, but you can put more stuff on each shoulder. So even though there are fewer shoulders, there are still a lot of goods.
At the head was a pair of jade ruyi given by the Queen Mother. They were very eye-catching, flawless and of top quality.
As for the rest of the dowry, it did not look as generous as everyone imagined.
Not only can the number of units not be compared, but the level of profitability is also a little worse. Some of the units look like they were separated to make up the number.
It’s not that Liu Jingyu’s dowry was not generous, it’s just not as generous as imagined. However, compared with the person who came, it was still ten miles of red makeup and a horse that left a trail of dust.
On the road from Liu Mansion to the Prince's Mansion, many people were watching the excitement. Some people even booked a private room in the teahouses and pubs on both sides of the road in order to watch the excitement early.
While watching the Liu Mansion distributing the dowry, she talked about how King Jing had asked for an audience at King Ying's Mansion and was repeatedly rejected.
It was said that King Jing had done something wrong, which caused the uncle to be unwilling to see King Jing. King Jing repeatedly asked for a meeting, but the King Ying refused to give in. Finally, he had no choice but to go back.
If this matter only lasted for one day, people would not talk about it like this. However, King Jing went there early every day for three consecutive days. After being rejected, he could only wait outside until lunch time and then went back before dinner. He went again in the afternoon and came back before dinner, which shows that he was very sincere.
But even with such sincerity, King Jing was not led in until the third day.
Some people said that King Jing got into big trouble and went to King Ying for help, but King Ying could not help and therefore rejected him. Another saying was that King Jing offended King Ying and he came to ask for forgiveness on the orders of the Emperor. Otherwise, as a prince, how could he be so humiliated
No matter which one it is, it makes people think deeply.
Many people previously secretly felt that the dispute between King Jing and the Crown Prince was somewhat mysterious. Even if King Jing did not have the title of Crown Prince, the Crown Prince did not have much advantage. After this incident, everyone suddenly felt that King Jing was not as capable as they had imagined.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince encountered such a thing, at least he would not be turned away outside the British palace.
After all, what the common people know is only superficial, and even if someone knows some things, they dare not spread too much.
However, some people also said that the prince had not gone out recently. It was not known whether it was because he was going to get married or for other reasons. The affairs of King Jing and King Ying seemed insignificant, but who knew if something had happened between these two people.
Besides, the prince is not a woman, so he doesn't have to worry too much before getting married, and he doesn't need to hide from people. Why hasn't he gone out for several days in a row
Could it be that he was also punished like King Jing
There were many people who were secretly speculating, and taking advantage of this farce of viewing the dowry, everyone found one or two like-minded friends and discussed it secretly.
Qu Moying originally didn't want to watch the fun, and it was not convenient for her at the moment as it was her turn to get married soon. However, Liu Lanxin came over specially and said that she had no friends in the capital. She repeatedly invited her to have tea with her and said that she would not let outsiders know. She also wanted to take a look at the dowry of the future Crown Princess.
After thinking about it, Qu Moying accepted the invitation.
Two people took
When people went out, Liu Lanxin had booked a private room in the teahouse early on and picked a good seat, which was on the second floor facing the street.
There are a lot of people in this area today. If they hadn't booked a private room early, they wouldn't be able to get one. When the two of them came here, they heard someone asking the waiter, and the waiter responded like this.
After they sat down, a waiter came up and asked them, and each of them sent a maid to order some cakes and tea that they liked.
After a while, a pot of tea and some exquisite snacks were served to each of them.
They arrived at the right time. Just as they picked up the teacup and took a sip, the vanguard of the dowry had already arrived. The jade ruyi in the lead was even more conspicuous in the sunlight. It was bordered by gold and jade and inlaid with gems. It was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary item. The jade color was not clear from a distance, but one could imagine that it was given by the Queen Mother and given to her own daughter-in-law, so how could it be bad
"I heard that the Queen Mother also gave a pair of jade ruyi to the late Crown Princess." Liu Lanxin put down the teacup in her hand and said with a smile.
"The Queen is very fair." Qu Moying said without changing his expression.
"The Queen is indeed fair." Liu Lanxin also praised, and her eyes fell on the pair of jade ruyi below. "I was at the border before, and I heard that your cousin's dowry was extremely grand. Although I didn't see it at the time, but now that I see Jingyu County Lord's, I feel even more regretful."
This means that Ji Hanyue's dowry is much richer than Liu Jingyu's.
"I haven't seen it either." Qu Moying said lightly. Qu Moying was still in the manor at that time.
"I heard that your sister's dowry has been returned to the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion. From now on, it belongs to Ling'an Marquis's son, but the dowry is still there, but things and people have changed." Liu Lanxin sighed and looked at the dowry team passing by.
The line was very long, and it was all bright red, very dazzling.
"I heard so." Qu Moying was as indifferent as ever. She thought she would be heartbroken when she saw the bright red dowry, but in fact, it did not stir up the slightest ripple.
That was a thing of the previous life, and all that was left to her was hatred.
The long dowry was mostly blood-red, which was the blood of their closest relatives in the Ji clan...
"Did they really return all of it? I heard... it seems that some of it was kept secret." Liu Lanxin seemed to be very interested in the dowry. After she finished speaking, she sighed, "The dowry of the late Crown Princess should have been much larger than that of Jing Yuxian Yu, right? If a few items were kept secret, it would be disrespectful to the late Crown Princess!"
The so-called few things that were kept secret must have fallen into Ji Youran's hands.
Qu Moying glanced sideways at Miss Liu. She didn't expect that she also knew about this kind of thing. It seemed as if she was asking about it on purpose. After all, this kind of thing had nothing to do with her, so she didn't need to ask.
Is Liu Lanxin interested in Ji Hanyue's dowry
"Some of my dowry is at the border. I have to trouble your second son again this time. I am really sorry to Fourth Miss Qu."
Liu Lanxin looked at the tables of dowry below and said with some apology.
Just watching it makes me feel inspired.
"I can't say I'm worthy of it. I'm sorry. My father originally wanted my eldest brother to carry me out." Qu Moying said calmly.
"That's good." Liu Lan said happily, "I originally thought that this matter was a bit unfair to you, but His Royal Highness King Jing said this, and said that he had found a candidate. I thought that since we had a suitable person, we should bring the dowry back early. It can't be too different. I didn't expect that in the end it would be a mistake for Fourth Miss Qu."
"Liu Xiao
You're welcome, sister." Qu Moying smiled slightly.
"Did your cousin's dowry really go to the Ling Anbo Mansion? I always have some doubts about it." Liu Lanxin asked with a smile, "Don't blame me for being curious, Miss Qu Si, I just feel that... something like that happened before, and Concubine Ji looked at it as if it was a little inappropriate."
What she said was very considerate, completely from Qu Moying's perspective, as if she was wholeheartedly considering Qu Moying. The previous incident in Yuejinge had caused a lot of fuss, and a little inquiry revealed that this concubine seemed to intend to swallow up the dowry of the former crown princess.
However, if Liu Lanxin didn't inquire about such things, they would never come to her attention, after all, Pei Luoan was involved.
"I don't know either. I'm not very familiar with this concubine." Qu Moying said, picking up the teacup beside him and taking a sip, his eyes as clear as water.
He looked like he didn't care at all.
"Concubine Ji entered the Eastern Palace when the Crown Princess was seriously ill, and then became a concubine of the Eastern Palace. She then withheld the Crown Princess's dowry and refused to return it. It is possible that the Crown Prince did not care about this matter, but it is impossible that Concubine Ji did not know about it."
Liu Lanxin waved the round fan in her hand and smiled.
Although it is a little early to use a round fan at this time, it is still very elegant to hold it and wave it gently a few times.
Nowadays, young ladies from wealthy families in the capital city all carry round fans when they go out, with some of them having paintings or writings on them, each with its own merits.
The one in Liu Lanxin's hand is not ordinary. The signature on it is Pei Yusheng's name, which should have been written by Pei Yusheng himself.
With Pei Yusheng around, she didn't feel any burden when talking about Ji Youran.
When she marries into Prince Jing's Mansion, even if Ji Youran is a concubine of the Eastern Palace, she will still have to bow when she sees her.
"I'm not sure about the details. This kind of thing... who can know!" Qu Moying shook his head and did not respond to Liu Lanxin's words.
"I heard that the dowry list of the late Crown Princess was very well made. Miss Fourth Qu, is it possible to borrow it to have a look? I am outside the capital, and the wedding customs there may be different from those in the capital. If I can borrow the dowry list of the late Crown Princess, maybe I can make some adjustments to avoid being laughed at."
Liu Lanxin laughed again, very casually.
"Miss Liu's dowry list has not been drawn up yet?" Qu Moying finally responded. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and her pair of watery eyes with a hint of charm became even clearer than water as she looked at Liu Lanxin.
"It's already been drafted, but I always feel that there might be something wrong with it. If we borrow it, it might be better." Liu Lanxin explained with a smile, holding out her fan and pointing downwards, "Originally, I wanted to borrow Jingyu County Lord's, but I thought that the two families are so close, and if it's too similar, His Royal Highness King Jing would feel embarrassed."
This means that it is inconvenient to borrow from Liu Jingyu.
One of them married the prince and the other married King Jing. They were destined to fight from the beginning over the dowry.
So, after saying so much, just to learn from the dowry list
Qu Moying hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I'm afraid Miss Liu will have to go to the Ling Anbo Mansion for this matter."
"Miss Qu Si, can't you lend it to me? I just want to take a look."
"I really can't help Miss Liu with this matter. Although the dowry list belongs to my cousin, my cousin... is no longer with us. The housekeeper of the inner courtyard should be Madam Ji. If Miss Liu is really interested, she can go to Madam Ji." Qu Moying suggested after thinking for a while.
She was just making a suggestion, it all depends on whether Liu Lanxin really takes it that seriously...
It’s very strange, why did Liu Lanxin want to look at Ji Hanyue’s dowry list
