868 Farewell (3)
This was enough to show how important Shen Miao was to Shen Xin and his wife.
Behind the crowd, Luo Xueyan, who was riding with the wedding procession, secretly turned her head and said to Shen Xin, “Is this really good…”
Shen Xin said, “Since he dares to give it to us, we will take it. Besides, he gave us 99 boxes. Our family can’t afford so much dowry. If we give too little, we’ll be laughed at.”
Luo Xueyan stopped talking.
Of Shen Miao’s 50 boxes of dowry, twenty were from Prince Rui. That day, when Prince Rui came to deliver the dowry, a piece of paper fell out of the box. Luo Xueyan saw it clearly. It was a list of Shen Miao’s dowry.
Prince Rui also knew that his betrothal gift was too shocking. The Shen family would definitely not be able to afford a dowry that matched it, so he decided to settle the dowry himself. Although there were only 20 boxes, these 20 boxes were still filled to the brim. In that case, Prince Rui had actually given the Shen family 119 boxes of gifts.
It was precisely because of this that Shen Qiu’s impression of Prince Rui improved. After all, Prince Rui was not stingy with his money when it came to Shen Miao’s marriage.
The streets were filled with gongs and drums. Fu Xiuyi mixed in the crowd but did not continue to follow. He felt that this scene was very intolerable. With a cold expression, he turned around and left.
Emperor Wen Hui was naturally equally aggrieved. Emperor Wen Hui had long found out from his subordinates that Prince Rui’s marriage this time was grand and even more glorious than his, the emperor. This was a slap to his face. The grander Prince Rui’s marriage was, the more it made the Ming Qi Royal Family look miserable.
Of course, what displeased Emperor Wen Hui the most was not the scale of the wedding, but the marriage itself. He was very unwilling to give Shen Miao away. If not for the fact that Prince Rui threatened him with the cities at the border, he would not have done this at all. He did not want to lose the Shen family’s support at this moment.
As long as Prince Rui’s marriage was mentioned today, the scene of Prince Rui threatening him in the imperial study would appear in his mind. He felt suffocated and angry. He didn’t want to be bothered by this matter anymore, so he asked the eunuch in the palace to receive the wedding gift sent by Prince Rui before shutting the door tightly, not allowing anyone to disturb him.
Originally, after the sedan went around the city gate, they were going to leave the city, but Prince Rui insisted on completing all the procedures in the capital.
Therefore, they picked the altar in the capital as a place to kowtow to their parents.
The altar in the capital was a place used by the emperor to crown the empress. Needless to say, this was an additional reward Prince Rui asked Emperor Wen Hui for. No matter how unwilling Emperor Wen Hui was, he could only agree.
On the altar, Miss Mei carefully helped Shen Miao down from the sedan chair. Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin, who followed, sat on the other side of the altar.
They kowtowed to the heavens and the earth, to their parents, and to each other.
This was Ming Qi, so Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin naturally accepted Shen Miao’s kowtow. However, Prince Rui’s father and mother had already passed away for many years. The two of them could only sprinkle wine on the ground as a form of worship.
In the end, the two of them bowed to each other. At this point, it was time to announce that from now on, Shen Miao was Princess Consort Rui.
While everyone was cheering and laughing, in the distance, Ji Yushu was talking to the person beside him.
“Ah, I really didn’t expect Third Brother to really marry Miss Shen.” He sighed. “Two years ago, I could tell that Third Brother treated Miss Shen differently, but I didn’t expect her to become my sister-in-law now. However, that’s not a bad thing. I originally thought that with Third Brother’s personality, ordinary girls wouldn’t be able to handle him, but Miss Shen is different. With her around, I’m relieved.”
