In the carriage here, Li Qingyi and the second aunt were also talking about the second aunt's grandmother.
Mrs. Ruan was very unhappy, "This second aunt asked Qin Zeng for help, so she managed to show a smile. If she doesn't ask for anything, she must be of the same mind as Mrs. Gongsun."
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "Second Aunt, there is no need to be angry with them."
Ruan glared at her, "You're relieved!"
Li Qingyi said: "Second aunt, think about it, how will the second aunt's grandma choose in the end when she is torn between her mother and her husband?"
"It goes without saying that she must have chosen her husband's family. As long as she helps her husband's family solve the appointment matter, she will still be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Song family, and she will have all the honors. If she can't solve it, she will either share her husband with others and spend the rest of her life. If there is no peace, either abandon the two children or return to the palace with Li. Neither of these two is a good choice."
"Second Aunt is right, so there will definitely be a rift between her and Mrs. Gongsun."
Ruan suddenly realized, "It's weird that you're not in a hurry."
Li Qingyi said: "Although this second aunt is not so trustworthy, since she needs help from us, wouldn't it be a waste if we don't make good use of it?"
Ruan was surprised and said, "What do you mean?" ap.
"The origin of Princess Zhenbei."

When Mrs. Gongsun packed her things overnight and headed to the capital, the people sent by Qin Zeng to find the elders of the Gongsun clan arrived there.
The clan elders even skipped the step of going to the capital to discuss, and immediately decided to open an ancestral hall and rewrite the family tree of the eldest branch, without considering Mrs. Gongsun's wishes at all.
King Zhenbei is a direct descendant of the Gongsun family. Although the old lady is his mother, she is only the daughter-in-law of the Gongsun family and has a foreign surname.
In contrast, Qin Zeng is the eldest son of the Gongsun clan. With such an important status, how can Mrs. Gongsun be allowed to act selfishly?
Moreover, the Xiao family has also been divorced, Xiao Lan and she are not the daughters of criminal ministers, and Qin Zeng's identity is much more noble than Gongsun Yi, the son of the current Princess Zhenbei.
Acknowledging the ancestor and returning to the clan went without incident. The clan leader took two highly respected clan elders as representatives and went to Beijing with the second and third family members to personally present the family tree to Qin Zeng for review.
When Qin Zeng took it in his hand, he saw that even the name of his granddaughter-in-law, Li Qingyi, had been written securely on it.
very good.
Qin Zeng expressed his satisfaction
When the clan leader saw his brows relaxed, he felt relieved.
"Let me open a few courtyards for the clan leader and the two elders to entertain them."
"Yes, sir."
Since we are going back to Zhenbei Palace, we are really going back to Zhenbei Palace.
Changrong had already brought people to move the things that were used in the Qin Mansion and put them in place. Because Qin Zeng was busy with official duties, the factory guards often came in and out of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, causing surprises in the second and third bedrooms, and even the atmosphere. Don't dare to breathe.
Mrs. Gongsun knew that Qin Zeng was deliberately trying to establish his authority so that no one in the house would jump up and down and cause trouble for nothing.
At this time, Qin Zeng invited the clan elders to stay in the mansion again, and Mrs. Gongsun took a deep breath again.
Qin Zeng turned a blind eye to this.
Before the wedding, he went to Li's house to see Li Qingyi for the last time. He was worried about something unintended, as if he had anticipated what he would say in the next few months.
Li Qingyi smiled and listened to every word he said, and finally added: "Don't worry, this is the fate that was involved in the previous life. No one can separate us."
Qin Zeng glanced at her in surprise. He didn't know why she spoke so generously this time without being shy or evasive.
However, getting this sentence is more practical than trying to persuade himself ten thousand times.
After leaving Li Qingyi's courtyard, he went to visit Li Yong and Ruan.
Li Yong was as sullen as ever. Although he already knew that Qin Zeng was not an official, he felt angry all over when he thought of how he had tricked him into agreeing to the marriage with the "fake marriage"!
However, Qin Zeng made the Ruan family happy, and Li Yong would not dare to use it casually even if there were ten thousand stumbling blocks.
Mrs. Ruan didn’t care about Li Yong’s depressed mouth and eyes.
The brows are full of joy, which cannot be concealed. She has long since recognized this handsome, upright, young and promising son-in-law from the bottom of her heart. After some family-friendly advice, he personally sent Qin Zeng out. When he came back, he said to Li Yong: "Our Yi'er is like a treasure falling from the sky. When I first thought about marrying her, I couldn't bear to let her go. But now that she is married to Qin Zeng, I can rest assured and feel comfortable."
Li Yong ignored her nagging and patted his thigh, looking distressed.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Ruan rolled her eyes and went to bed to rest without even saying hello.
Li Yong looked at his wife in bewilderment, thinking that his status was really at the bottom now. With a sigh, he finally accepted the fact that Li Qingyi was going to get married.
In the next few days, Li Qingyi had nothing to do, just like a courtier begging for his body to go home and raise in honor.
The day before the dowry was laid out, the shops and restaurants of the Li family and the Ruan family in the capital were decorated with lights and colorful posters. From that day on, everything in the shop was sold at half price for three days. It was also laid out in a long way, causing a sensation in the entire capital. Such a feat was unprecedented.
The guys in the shop were so busy that they didn't touch the floor, and the shopkeepers all gathered at the Xuandehou Mansion.
Selling a dowry is not a trivial matter, especially Li Qingyi's multiple dowries. The amount is astonishing. The Xuandehou Mansion cannot find so many strong men to carry the dowry. The shopkeepers have been busy for several days and have looked at the young men in the hands of all the old men in the capital.
Fortunately, Admiral Dongchang's wedding was a big enough gimmick that people in the capital generally wouldn't set the wedding date on the same day, so they didn't compete with the Xuande Hou Mansion for manpower.
Shopkeeper Sun from Bibo Building was responsible for the dowry shop, along with those from other shops, as well as more than twenty shopkeepers from other places who brought dowries to Beijing. Each performs his or her duties, commanding and dispatching the large dowry-carrying team.
The shopkeepers follow their bosses in doing business, and they are all well-informed in the ups and downs, and have experienced major events. Although there are many people and complicated things, they still manage everything in an orderly manner.
Li Yong and Ruan saw it in person and were very satisfied.
Li Qingyi is the eldest daughter of the Li family. Her marriage is a major event for the family. She must not lose the dignity of the Li family or her uncle's face under any circumstances.
The men who carried the dowry were summoned on the first day, and the rules and rewards and punishments were explained, and they lined up to bathe and change clothes.
The Xuandehou Mansion was brightly lit all night, and when the sky broke out, everything was ready. The two shopkeepers took the lead and walked out of the gate of Xuandehou Mansion. Behind them, two servants carried the dowry out of the gate.
Originally, Bibo Tower only allowed female guests to enter, but due to Li Qingyi's wedding, Bibo Tower was vacated. Now, a circle of private rooms are filled with distinguished guests who come to watch the dowry show.
In one of the rooms, the prince yawned and stood in front of the window, looking in the direction of Xuandehou's Mansion in the distance: "Who chose this time? How could anyone start carrying the dowry so early? It's still early in the day."
