Lu Nian walked in, "Sister Ali, I'm here!"

After seeing Su Zhihui, he leaned forward slightly to greet her, "Miss Su."

"A-nian is here."

"Um."

Lu Nian took a makeup box carved from huanghuali wood from the maid beside her.

"Sister Ali, you're getting married tomorrow, I'm here to add some makeup to your wedding!"

Chen Li took the box and put it aside, "Thank you, An Nian."

The three of them were talking about girlish things in the bedroom. At the gate of the general's mansion, the carriage of Prince Yan's mansion stopped.

When Shen Changshan heard the news, he hurried to greet them with Lin Cuicui. He Xinyi had a decent and generous smile on her face, telling Shen Changshan and the others not to be polite.

"I'm here today to add some makeup to Princess Hui'an. Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen, there's no need to be so polite."

She entered the mansion under the greeting of Shen Changshan, followed by several maids carrying two boxes.

Chen Li looked at the generous gift from Prince Yan's Mansion and said, "Princess, what are you..."

"Princess Hui'an, this is for your dowry. Don't feel pressured, just accept it."

"Thank you, Princess Yan."

He Xinyi chatted with them for a few minutes and then left. They were not very familiar with each other and felt a little uncomfortable getting together.

At the gate of the general's mansion, Eunuch Qu was holding a dustpan in his hand, followed by twenty or so young eunuchs, carrying mahogany boxes, and they stopped at the gate of the general's mansion in a grand manner.

Shen Jingyuan received an order from Shen Changshan to greet the guests who came to congratulate him at the gate of the mansion, but he did not expect that Eunuch Qu would come in person.

"General, where is the princess? I have no choice but to give her some extra dowry."

"Father-in-law, my sister is in her yard now. Please wait a moment. I will have someone call her out."

“No need.”

Eunuch Qu stopped him, "Your Majesty ordered me to add makeup to the group leader. These boxes were carried directly to the courtyard."

We are not here to cause trouble, so why make people run around?

"Thank you, eunuch."

Eunuch Qu did not stay long and soon left with his men. After he came to deliver the additional dowry gift, the imperial concubine sent someone to deliver another gift.

These two people are the steering wheels of the capital. They will go wherever the wind blows.

So, how did some noble families send people to give gifts? Shen Changshan was more like Shen Jingyuan, "Boss, do you want to accept these gifts? Will it offend people if you return them?"

Shen Jingyuan frowned slightly, "Dad, let Mom ask Ah Li and let her make the decision."

"good."

Lin Cuicui hurried to Chen Li's yard.

"Ali!"

Chen Li took a few steps forward and supported Lin Cuicui who had hurried over. "What's wrong? Mother, why are you so anxious?"

Lin Cuicui took a few breaths before saying, "The Emperor sent a gift to supplement his dowry, and then the Imperial Concubine also sent one, and then many other families followed suit. Your father and eldest brother don't know what to do, so I came to ask you."

Chen Li nodded in understanding. The emperor and the imperial concubine were the weather vanes of the capital. Even if these two were the biggest gifts, there would be officials coming to give gifts later, because of Pei Yu's status.

"Mom, if they're not from a family we know well, then we won't accept them. We'll register them and have them sent back."

"Okay, then you have to know how to do it."

Lin Cuicui came and went in a hurry, and Chen Li continued to chat with Lu Nian until the mansion quieted down and the family gathered together.

They each prepared a gift to add to the makeup, and gave it to Chen Li after dinner.

"Ali, you're getting married tomorrow. This is the money your parents gave you as a small gift. It's not much, but it's a token of their love. Please don't refuse it, Ali."

Shen Li looked at Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui, with a bitter smile on her face, "Well, my daughter must keep it well."

Shen Jingyuan also took out a box, “Ali, this is what big brother prepared for you.”

After kicking it in front of Chen Li, he pursed his lips and said again: “A Li, if the prince betrays you, come back and tell big brother, and big brother will beat him for you.”

He usually respects Pei Yu very much, and he can say such words today, but this is also because he really feels sorry for his sister Chen Li.

"Well, if he dares to do that, we'll beat him up together."

Shen Yuanzhou also took out a box, "Ali, this is what Third Brother prepared for you. Don't leave Third Brother behind when you beat someone up."

Although he had a smile on his face, he didn't look as heartless as usual.

"Okay, Third Brother."

Shen Qi'an presented his own gift for adding to the makeup, "Ali, Fourth Brother will work hard and strive to become your confidence one day."

Chen Li looked at this group of family members who cared about her, and the smile on her face became more and more genuine, and she felt more reluctant in her heart.

The night before the wedding, after seeing Lin Cuicui off, she listened to the noise outside, her lips curled up slightly. No one came in for a long time, so she walked to the window.

"Why? Your Highness, don't you know that we can't see each other before the wedding?"

"I know, that's why I just stood outside the window."

Pei Yu's voice came from outside the window. The quiet night added a touch of tenderness to his voice.

Chen Li reached out and tried to push the window open, but was stopped by the man outside.

"Ali, I won't go in. I'll just stand outside."

Chen Li: ...

This is the first time I've realized how stubborn he can be.

"No, since you're already here, what's the big deal about coming in?"

Pei Yu still refused, and Chen Li smiled wickedly, “Ayu, I missed you!”

The next moment, the window was pushed open, and a man rushed in quickly, hugging Chen Li in his arms.

Chen Li was held tightly in his arms, and she put her arms around his thin waist.
