Kuai Chuan green tea after overturning
Chapter 120 Dowry
A month later.
After Shun Youcai, Chu Tiankuo's personal servant, left the Prince's Mansion, he went to Yunguang Palace to look for Concubine Su and the Second Prince.
Seeing that Shun Youcai came over, she thought it was Chu Tiankuo who had some orders, so Su Qiaoqiao went up to meet her, "Is the Emperor coming over tonight?"
Since the Spring Banquet, Chu Tiankuo has not come to Yunguang Palace again.Chu Xiuqi was grounded, Su Qiaoqiao was also ordered not to step out of the palace gate, and the two were put under house arrest.
Su Qiaoqiao was going to die of anger, before she thought Meng Guanqing had something.Now it seems that it is just to seduce men.Poor Chu Xiuqi was lured into doing such scandalous things, and the two of them had to be imprisoned in the palace.
Now that Shun Youcai suddenly came to Yunguang Palace, Su Qiaoqiao felt that Chu Tiankuo must not be planning to put them under house arrest.Looking at the jewels and belongings brought in by the palace people behind Shun Youcai, Su Qiaoqiao asked, "Are these all for the palace?"
"Back to Concubine Su, these are dowry gifts for the second prince's brother who has not been married. According to the rules, the second prince gets a small part and sends it to the eldest brother in the prime minister's residence." Shun Youcai explained.
Brothers are so precious in the state of Chu, so there are naturally more rules for marriage.Those who marry a brother not only need their parents to pay the dowry, but they themselves have to pay nearly half of the dowry to show that even if they leave their parents, they can support their brother and will not let him be wronged.
In the palace, as long as the prince did not make any mistakes when he left the palace, he would definitely be able to support his family.So Chu Tiankuo didn't care about these rules, and made a big head out of himself. Even if the prince who wanted to marry his brother only gave out a jade bracelet, it was still a dowry gift, which was just a formality.
When Su Qiaoqiao heard that it was a dowry gift for Meng Guanqing, Su Qiaoqiao immediately lost face, "Whoever said we are going to marry that bitch, maybe how many people have slept with him, why should my Ziyuan suffer."
Shun Youcai said with a smile on his face, "This is the emperor's will. Since the empress does not agree, the slave will report to the emperor." Shun Youcai said to the people behind, "Let's go, go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to find the emperor..."
"Eunuch Shun..." Chu Xiuqi stopped Shun Youcai. He didn't think about it at first, and planned to let Su Qiaoqiao solve this matter, but when he heard that Shun Youcai was going to find Chu Tiankuo, he panicked , "Eunuch Shun, my mother and concubine were joking just now, the dowry must be paid."
Chu Xiuqi winked at Ah Chun, the maid next to him. The maid nodded, and after leaving for a while, she brought back a pair of jade ruyis.
Shun Youcai was stunned when he saw that there was only one pair of Yu Ruyi. Even if he didn't compare with the prince, he couldn't compare with other princes. Ordinary families would not only give a pair of Yu Ruyi as a dowry.Shun Youcai didn't say anything, this only proves that my brother must have a better vision, otherwise he will only be ruined by people like Chu Xiuqi.
After Shun Youcai left, Su Qiaoqiao asked, "Do you really want to marry that Meng Guanqing?"
Even though she was grounded, Su Qiaoqiao could still hear the news from outside.I heard that Meng Guanqing and the prime minister's mansion had fallen apart, and he was at odds with his second brother, Meng Xingzhu.Meng Guanqing doesn't have any power of his own, so it's useless to marry her. Su Qiaoqiao thinks it's worthless to exchange a pair of Yu Ruyi for a trash.
"It's my father's order, so what can I do?" All the servants in the prince's palace were personally selected by the queen. They are not only absolutely loyal, but also will not let go of any fly that wants to fly in.Only Meng Guanqing, because he is loved by Chu Xiuyuan, can enter and exit the East Palace without hindrance.Chu Xiuqi originally planned to ask Meng Guanqing to help him with affairs after marrying in, but it turned out to be too unlucky, and Chu Xiuming found out that it was a complete failure.
Now Meng Guanqing has completely fallen out with the prime minister's mansion, and is also not compatible with Meng Xingzhu who is about to marry Chu Xiuyuan. Now he is completely useless waste, of course Chu Xiuqi is not willing to marry.It's okay to be able to use the value, but now Meng Guanqing is just a broken shoe that has been slept in in the eyes of Chu Xiuqi.He slept with so many people, if they all married in, the Yunguang Palace might not be able to accommodate them all.
What's more, Chu Xiuqi had no intention of marrying Meng Guanqing at all, how could he marry a brother who was slept with by others, but by the hated Chu Xiuyuan.
It's just that Chu Tiankuo issued a death order, the two must get married, and they must not be separated easily, unless one of them dies, the two must not be separated.
"Oh." Su Qiaoqiao sighed, "You can marry me, but why should I be your concubine?"
Even if it's just a pair of ordinary Yu Ruyi, Su Qiaoqiao is reluctant to give it to Meng Guanqing.If it weren't for him, Chu Xiuqi wouldn't have been grounded, and it's wishful thinking to even want Yunguang Palace to take something out.
"Didn't Father say that? As long as one party dies, the other party will be a free man. What are you worried about?" Chu Xiuqi raised the corner of his mouth...
After leaving Yunguang Palace, Shun Youcai came to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a bunch of betrothal gifts.The betrothal gift for Meng Guanqing was sent directly to him, and now everything in the front yard is for Meng Xingzhu.
"Why so many?" Yan Jiamu couldn't help asking.
Shun Youcai smiled, "This is the good fortune of the Crown Princess-to-be. Half of it was taken out by the Crown Prince himself! The little girls in the East Palace even joked that the Crown Prince plans to move all the things in the palace to you."
Yan Jiamu knew the rules of marrying elder brothers in this world, but he didn't expect Chu Xiuyuan to attach so much importance to Meng Xingzhu and brought so many things over.It can also be seen from the betrothal gift that Chu Xiuyuan will not do anything to him.
Meng Lide nodded in satisfaction, at this moment he finally believed what Chu Tiankuo said.If Chu Xiuyuan didn't like it, he could just go through the motions with something, and even give the prime minister's house a blow.Now that the East Palace alone has taken so many things, one can imagine how much Chu Xiuyuan attaches importance to Meng Xingzhu.
Meng Lide glanced at Steward Wang, and Steward Wang immediately took out a lot of money and put it in Shun Youcai's hands.
After Shun Youcai stuffed the silver into his bosom, he whispered to Meng Lide, "It's true that His Highness the Crown Prince is kind to the Crown Princess, but His Highness the Second Prince is treating your elder brother..."
Shun Youcai recounted the situation in Yunguang Palace just now in a few words.
After Meng Lide heard this, he clenched his fists, "Even if my brother in the prime minister's mansion is unbearable, he is more noble than a servant's daughter who raises a horse."
"Prime Minister, don't be angry, the emperors are not interested in Concubine Su for the time being, but the prime minister should not tell the emperor that you want to be exposed to rain and dew, and don't favor any concubine. Talk about your own identity." As soon as this matter was mentioned, Shun Youcai wanted to laugh, Meng Lide was too straightforward.As long as Chu Tiankuo stays in a palace for a few more nights, he will give advice and loudly explain the disadvantages of favoring only one concubine, and sometimes it will make Chu Tiankuo unable to step down.Fairness is fair, but the favored concubine and some officials at the court hate Meng Lide to death.
"What does the matter in the harem have to do with me?" Meng Lide had long since given up planning to meddle in Chu Tiankuo's personal affairs, and now the affairs in the harem will not affect the previous court at all, and he will no longer care about trivial matters.
"It's best for the Prime Minister to think this way. There is still something to do in the slave palace, so I will leave first. Congratulations to the Prime Minister again." Shun Youcai saluted Meng Lide and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Although Meng Lide was angry, he had already said that he would not care about Meng Guanqing anymore.He would never go back on his words, Meng Lide didn't plan to go to Meng Guanqing, but went directly to the study to clean himself up.
Meng Guanqing looked at the pair of Yu Ruyi, and sneered, "Is Chu Xiuqi or his mother dying soon? So you plan to keep something for the funeral, and only give this little thing?"
"It's not too late to see people clearly now." Li Gong sat aside and said, a daughter who raises a horse, if not relying on his Li family's relationship, how could she be able to enter the palace, and she only used this little thing to humiliate the prime minister's mansion.Li Gong didn't care whether Meng Lide cared, anyway, he would never let Su Qiaoqiao and Chu Xiuqi go.
"It's too late. The emperor said that unless one of us dies, Chu Xiuqi and I will be bound together forever." Meng Guanqing didn't believe Meng Xingzhu's words at first, but chose to believe Chu Xiuqi's words who had been with him for several years. It's just a joke.This is the fate of losing the value of use. It is right to release the news of the discord with the prime minister's mansion, so that one can see a person clearly.
It seems that others are right, Chu Xiuqi really can only rely on his brother's waste.Meng Guanqing didn't regret it, it was useless to regret it, but he wanted to see how Chu Xiuqi could save the situation.
"Go and beg your father. Both of you don't have that intention now. Being together is also torture." Li Gong could already foresee how Meng Guanqing would be treated in the past when he married. After all, it was a piece of flesh that fell from his body. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't bear it. Others bully.
"I won't go, Chu Xiuqi betrayed me, how can he live well?" Being together is indeed torture, but is it only torture for one person?Meng Guanqing was willing to have a hard time for himself, but Chu Xiuqi didn't want to have a good end either.
"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master is here." The maid outside the door said.
Meng Guanqing stood up, "Mother, I still have something to do, you should go back and rest first."
Li Gong didn't know Meng Guanqing's intentions, but seeing that he didn't seem to be making himself suffer, he was a little relieved.No matter what mistakes Meng Guanqing made in the future, Li Gong would support him, after all, it was Chu Xiuqi who made the first mistake.
After Li Gong left, Yan Jiamu was taken into Meng Guanqing's room.Yan Jiamu was surprised when Meng Guanqing said that he had something to do with him, but he could figure it out.How could Chu Xiuqi prepare the dowry properly for a person who has no use value? Meng Guanqing probably saw the person clearly.This is also good, Chu Xiuyuan will be able to deal with Chu Xiuqi a little easier in the future.
Before Yan Jiamu could speak, Meng Guanqing knelt down, "Brother, I want to ask you something."
"Brother was joking, let's talk about it first when we have something to say." Yan Jiamu was frightened, he didn't understand what Meng Guanqing meant by such a big battle.
But Meng Guanqing stubbornly knelt on the ground, "My brother promises me first."
"I promise you, but you have to be clear, if I do something to hurt the prince, I may kill you first." Meng Guanqing can touch anyone, but he can't touch Chu Xiuyuan, otherwise Yan Jiamu will treat him badly polite.
"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with Chu Xiuyuan." Meng Guanqing smiled, "Thank you brother for willing to help me..."
