Xiao Beichen's eyes darkened, and Long Fei behind him said: "What our prince means is that everything in marrying Miss Luo Er should be done according to the princess's specifications."
Prime Minister Luo felt that it was unreasonable and was afraid of overstepping his authority and punishing him. However, seeing Xiao Beichen's attitude, if he didn't agree, he might not even have a good day today, so he replied diligently: "Yes, everything will be obeyed by the prince."
Luo Zhiyi walked into the hall and timidly bowed to Xiao Beichen. Xiao Beichen nodded coldly and ignored her.
In fact, Xiao Beichen didn't pay attention to anyone in this room. If he needed any instructions, Long Fei would speak on his behalf.
Luo Zhiyi didn't say much. She took a cup of tea and sat down silently. At this time, she just wanted to look at Xiao Beichen more.
She will marry Xiao Beilin as his wife in the future. I am afraid it may be an involuntary fate, and she may be forced to become Xiao Beichen's enemy.
"Your Majesty has set an auspicious day for seven days."
As soon as Long Fei finished speaking, Prime Minister Luo was startled, "I'm afraid it's a bit urgent now, isn't it?"
Xiao Beichen's eyes flashed, and Luo Chenglian hurriedly shook his sleeves and cupped his fists and said: "I will find a way by myself, and I will try my best to handle it."
"Very good, I'm going to see Yunchu." Xiao Beichen came to deliver the betrothal gift in person because he had secretly prepared some gifts for Luo Yunchu.
As soon as Xiao Beichen left, Prime Minister Luo took out the list of betrothal gifts and looked at it. It didn't matter, his eyes twitched twice, and he closed the list with a long sigh.
Mrs. Sun took the list and looked at it, her voice suddenly rose a bit, "Why did the dignified Prince Yi's Mansion come up with such a shabby betrothal gift? This is looking down on our Prime Minister's Mansion!"
After adding fuel to the fire, Prime Minister Luo was not only angry in his heart, but also looked worse on his face.
Even if he is the prime minister of a country and an important minister in the court, he cannot compete with the prince, let alone Xiao Beichen, the god of war who is highly valued by the emperor.
Prime Minister Luo turned a deaf ear, but his livid face betrayed him.
Aunt Wen said calmly: "I don't know what King Yi is thinking. Maybe he doesn't value Yun Chu. He came to deliver the betrothal gift in person, so maybe he values it. This gift is indeed a bit thin."
Hearing this, Prime Minister Luo's expression softened somewhat, but when he heard the report of the intruder, his heart felt as heavy as the morning rush hour.
"What? You said that King Yi brought more than thirty boxes of gifts to Ziyun Pavilion, how many times more than the betrothal gift?" Prime Minister Luo's tone became angry.
Aunt Wen also murmured in disbelief: "It's unheard of. When have we ever heard of a betrothal gift given to a young lady privately after getting married?"
Luo Zhiyi was stunned and coughed jealously. He had nothing to do with her, and he couldn't get it into her hands even if he fought for it.
She bowed lightly, "Father, mother, aunt, Zhiyi is a little tired, so go back to your room to rest."
After Luo Zhiyi left, Prime Minister Luo tapped his fingers on the table in deep thought.
Aunt Wen seemed to have read through his mind and stepped forward and said: "Although Prince Yi is capable of leading troops in battle, he doesn't know everything. This is his first time taking a concubine. Maybe he doesn't understand the rules. Why don’t we go to Ziyun Pavilion and have a look?”
"Yes, we must come over for these thirty boxes of things." Mrs. Sun agreed with Aunt Wen one of the few times.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Prime Minister Luo's expression fell again, "Yu Niang, you don't have to go, go back to your yard and rest!"
"This..." Ms. Sun was stunned. Although she had been deprived of the power of housekeeping, she was still the mistress in name. How could she not go?
Before she could finish speaking, Prime Minister Luo had already led Aunt Wen away.
…
Ziyun Pavilion.
The yard was filled with large wooden boxes decorated with red satin, so many that there was almost no room to put them down.
Luo Yunchu took the gift list from Xiao Beichen. The bright red gift list was filled with beautiful traditional Chinese characters.
In terms of the sense of ritual, it has to be the ancients. Giving a gift is so high-end, "The writing is really beautiful."
Long Fei stood in the corner like an ice sculpture, but at this time he said: "This is written by the prince himself."
Luo Yunchu's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't expect this guy to be both civil and military, so he sincerely praised: "Awesome, Xiao Beichen!"
Although Xiao Beichen liked to see Luo Yunchu's surprise, he would not forget about it. He said calmly: "It's just a lesson learned since childhood."
When Long Fei saw the two masters chatting animatedly, he sensibly left the room.
Who knew that a few people would come in after a while, but Long Fei blocked their way, "The prince and the princess are having a great time chatting, please wait a moment."
"Master Guard, we have business with Yun Chu." Aunt Wen said with a smile on her face.
"No." Long Fei said coldly.
Prince Prime Minister Luo couldn't afford to offend a guard who dared to be so crazy. He didn't take the guard seriously, "Get up and go away before I'm angry!"
There was no extra expression on Long Fei's face, and he didn't even look at him. He still stretched out an arm to block Prime Minister Luo's way.
He didn't mean to compete with Luo Cheng, but his master hadn't been as happy as he was today for a long time. Since the two of them were chatting happily, he wouldn't let anyone disturb them.
"One muscle!" Prime Minister Luo was furious.
"Let them in!"
Hearing Luo Yunchu's voice, Long Fei let him go with an expressionless expression.
As soon as she entered, Aunt Wen saw the gift list placed on the table with sharp eyes. She opened it and saw, darling, this is incredible!
It is full of words: a Hotan jade seated Guanyin statue, two yellow jade double vases, a pair of jade lotuses, a coral tree, a luminous pearl...a box of rubies, a box of sapphires, a box of golden-green cat's eyes...tourmaline Ten pairs of long earrings with hanging beads, ten pairs of crystal earrings, ten pairs of gold and jade earrings with beads...gold silk eight-treasure hairpin with pearls, honey flower crystal hairpin, white jade and red bead-inlaid double-knot Ruyi hairpin...
Aunt Wen's hand holding the gift list was trembling slightly, whether out of envy or jealousy.
There are countless ornaments, not to mention rare treasures, but there are also real money and land deeds written on the back. How can I not make Aunt Wen jealous.
Luo Yunchu raised his eyebrows and smiled, then took the gift list back from Aunt Wen's hand, "Have you seen enough?"
Aunt Wen sneered. She did not dare to ask Xiao Beichen directly. She said to Luo Yunchu, "Yunchu, is it wrong? How did these things come to Ziyun Pavilion?"
Luo Yunchu was sighing to himself, even if one of these treasures could be obtained in modern times, it would be priceless.
Suddenly hearing Aunt Wen's question, she felt that she was not getting rewarded for her efforts. After all, they were in a fake marriage. How could she accept such an expensive gift from Xiao Beichen?
"Xiao Beichen, please carry it back to Prince Yi's Mansion, I can't take it away." Luo Yunchu closed his eyes and waved his hands and said with pain.
"Yunchu, have you misunderstood? Your aunt meant that these betrothal gifts should be placed in the general ledger of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Prime Minister Luo showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
