Li Youran didn't want everyone to be embarrassed along with her, so she pretended to be relaxed as she got up from the soft couch and spoke to everyone.
“Brother, you are not fully recovered yet, so please don’t travel too far. Please stay at home and wait for us to deliver the betrothal gifts to the princess’s residence.”
Feng Yu and Feng Lei looked at the betrothal gifts being loaded onto the truck and said to Feng Yu.
"It's such a big deal to give betrothal gifts, so naturally I have to be there in person. Otherwise, You Ran might misunderstand that I don't value her enough."
When Feng Yu mentioned Li Youran, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked very happy.
Feng Yu had waited too long for this day. He kept blaming himself, thinking that if he hadn't been injured, he would have already married Li Youran. But he had no choice but to postpone the wedding.
Now that the Emperor has arranged the marriage, which will be on the sixteenth of next month, Feng Yu was so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night. He got up early and instructed the steward to quickly count the betrothal gifts.
Now that the betrothal gifts have been prepared and we are about to go to Li Youran’s residence to formally propose marriage, how could Feng Yu not go?
Feng Yun and Feng Lei exchanged a glance but remained silent.
Originally, the two of them wanted to take the place of their elder brother Feng Yun and prevent him from going out, but they didn't expect that they couldn't stop him no matter what they did.
There was no other way but to find a small horse and walk slowly, since Feng Yu's body was not yet able to ride a tall horse.
"Isn't this Feng Yu, the eldest son of the Imperial Uncle Kungfu? I originally thought that his two brothers would go in his place to present the betrothal gifts, but I didn't expect that she would actually go in person despite being ill."
"Who says otherwise? I heard he was bedridden and couldn't move, but I didn't expect he could still ride a horse. So the rumors aren't true."
"Is there any need to say more? Feng Yu, the eldest son of the Imperial Uncle, values Princess Jiahe very much."
Feng Yu, who was riding on the pony, was initially a little embarrassed. After all, it was really inappropriate for a grown man to be riding on such a small pony.
But hearing the people talking on the roadside, he couldn't help but smile slightly. He was right to come along. It not only dispelled the rumors of prejudice against him and proved that there was nothing wrong with his health, but also showed his respect for Li Youran in public.
But just as Feng Yu's smile faded, he heard filthy and offensive remarks, and his smile froze on his face.
"The Imperial Uncle Gongfu really went to great lengths to curry favor with the Crown Prince. He even managed to marry a woman who kept male lovers outside the palace. It's clear that the Imperial Uncle Gongfu was really willing to go to any lengths."
"I'm afraid Feng Yu is just a paper tiger now, all that's good for him to look like. Who knows if his actual skills are even usable?"
Even if I can't find a wife, I won't compromise and find a woman who keeps a lover outside.
Feng Yu had no idea what had happened, or when Li Youran had started keeping male lovers again...
Feng Yu's face grew increasingly grim, and Feng Yun and Feng Lei, who were following behind him, were at a loss for what to do.
Fortunately, the Imperial Uncle's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion were not far apart, and the short journey was over quickly. Feng Yun and Feng Lei jumped off their horses and looked at Feng Yu riding on the foal.
Feng Yu remained on the horse for a long time. The two brothers looked at each other, and then Feng Yun stepped forward and said to Feng Yu.
"Brother, although public opinion is valuable, one must live one's own life. Whether the princess has kept male lovers or not is still unknown."
“Brother, if you trust the princess, go in and present the betrothal gifts. If you don’t trust her, then bring the betrothal gifts back. Either way, we brothers will support you.”
After Feng Yun finished speaking, Feng Yu remained seated on the colt, not moving. Seeing this, Feng Lei rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward, took the colt's reins, and spoke to Feng Yu.
"Third brother, take the colt back to my residence to present the betrothal gift."
Although Feng Yuyu was still very conflicted, seeing that Feng Lei was about to pull the carriage away, she hurriedly waved her hand at Feng Lei and said something.
Feng Lei chuckled and pulled the horse back. The two brothers helped Feng Yu down from the foal and waved to the steward behind them.
The steward directed the servants to carry eight cartloads of betrothal gifts into the mansion.
"Princess, Young Master Feng has come to propose marriage."
The butler, beaming with joy, rushed in and said to Li Youran.
"Good heavens, a whole eight cartloads of betrothal gifts, a total of sixty-four boxes."
Just as the butler was excitedly describing how magnificent the betrothal gifts were, Li Youran's expression was not so pleasant. The butler hurriedly stopped talking, afraid of saying anything that would upset Li Youran.
"Group owner, why don't you go to the front hall and take a look?"
Normally, the betrothal ceremony should be presided over by the parents, but Li Youran is the Princess of Jiahe, bestowed by the Emperor, and lives alone, so the betrothal ceremony does not require the parents of both sides to be present.
If Li Youran wanted to meet with him, Feng Yu could do so, or he could refuse to meet her. So whether Li Youran met him or not was entirely up to her.
"Princess, please wait for me."
Li Youran strode towards the front yard, with Xiao Hong and the housekeeper hurriedly following behind.
When the agent arrived, he saw the three Feng brothers sitting in the front hall drinking tea. Servants carried the betrothal gifts into the front hall, and because there wasn't enough room in the front hall, they were lined up all the way to the courtyard outside.
All sixty-four boxes were opened, and they were filled to the brim with gold and silver jewelry, cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, tea, cloth and other valuables.
“Brother, the princess has come out. If you are too embarrassed to ask her, I will ask her for you.”
Feng Lei has always been impulsive and quick-tempered. In addition, he trusts Li Youran quite a bit and doesn't think she would do anything underhanded. So he was eager to ask Li Youran for the truth and wanted to dispel his brother's concerns as soon as possible.
