Chapter 2005: Wedding (Part 2)
Logically speaking, when Tang Bao married into the royal family, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and all the concubines in the palace were all her husband's family members. They were just waiting for Tang Bao to marry in and then give her the recognition gift.
However, the behavior of these ladies this time really told everyone in the world that they were not only Tang Bao's in-laws, but also Tang Bao's natal family members.
What will the girl’s family do to her?
Just pamper her!
Princess Cheng'en looked at the exquisite jewelry filling the room and said with a smile of emotion, "In the whole world, only Princess Fude can be trusted by her husband's family as much as by her own family."
This statement was agreed by everyone.
The little girls who came with their elders to help Tang Bao put on makeup were already nervous when they saw this.
No way, no way!
Even if they could get one percent of Tang Bao's treatment, they wouldn't have to worry about being bullied by their husband's family in the future.
Old Lady Su had not expected that the Empress Dowager and others would add makeup to Tang Bao.
Moreover, so much was added.
Therefore, the dowry list originally prepared for Tang Bao had to be re-drafted.
When Xuanyuan Jin came to propose marriage, he brought 128 loads of betrothal gifts.
The Su family also prepared to purchase another 128 carriages.
So Tang Bao’s dowry was 256 loads.
This amount is exactly the same as the dowry that the Empress gave her when she married into the Eastern Palace.
Now that there are more boxes coming from the Empress Dowager and others, it’s a bit difficult to handle.
If the amount exceeds the Empress's dowry, it would seem disrespectful to the Empress.
"Mother, how about we reduce the things we prepare for my sister-in-law and send them to her later?" Mrs. Su thought for a moment and said, "After all, the dowry provided by the Empress Dowager and the other ladies in the palace must be included in the dowry list."
Moreover, it has to be added to the top!
Old Mrs. Su nodded.
"That's all we can do."
The dowry originally given to Tang Bao was too much, and every box was stuffed full.
It can be said that the things in one dowry box of the Su family are equivalent to two boxes of other people's families.
Now, even if I want to distribute some of it into each dowry box, there is no room left, so I can only cut down.
Mrs. Su and Old Lady Su had just finished their discussion when a servant came running to report that someone else was outside.
Moreover, it is grand and imposing.
"Sister Mingli!"
When Tang Bao saw Queen Mingli appear in her home, she ran over happily and gave her a big hug.
Yes, the person who came was the Queen Mingli of Western Qin.
After not seeing her for a few years, Queen Mingli has become more dignified and calm, and less domineering and arrogant than before.
"Sister Mingli, I miss you so much!"
Tang Bao happily hugged Queen Mingli and refused to let go.
Queen Mingli was also very excited, but she said angrily, "Why don't you come to see me if you miss me? You just want to coax me! You little ungrateful bastard! I think you've been so obsessed with men that you've lost your mind and forgotten about me, your sister!"
"No!" Tang Bao said with a smile: "How can a man compare with my sister?"
Queen Mingli snorted again, knowing that Tangbao was coaxing her, but the corners of her mouth remained raised high.
"You have some conscience!"
After saying that, Queen Mingli looked Tang Bao up and down, and the more she looked, the more amazed she became.
The little girl from back then has grown up completely, she is less naive and more free and elegant.
"Such a peerless beauty is truly a bargain for that boy Xuanyuan Jin!"
Queen Mingli's first words were shocking.
The following words were so jaw-dropping.
"According to our Western Qin customs, we should have a hundred or eighty husbands, concubines, and maids... How could we only keep him as our husband?"
Everyone present: "..."
Tang Bao: “…”
Tang Bao stroked her forehead.
Sure enough, Sister Mingli is still Sister Mingli!
"That's exactly what you said! If it were according to our Southern Border customs, a saintly lady could marry into a family of 1,800 men and no one would dare to say anything! Now she's really at a huge loss!"
The voice of Shi Liu was heard at the gate of the mansion.
Tang Bao suddenly turned around and saw a woman wearing a floor-length brocade robe embroidered with silver and gold runes and a silver crown on her head, walking slowly towards her with a smile on her face.
"Sister Pomegranate!"
Tang Bao's face was full of surprise. He let go of Queen Mingli and ran towards Shi Liu with his arms open.
Shi Liu also opened his arms, a big smile on his face, and ran towards Tang Bao.
"Sister Pomegranate!"
"Sister Fuya!"
The two hugged each other excitedly, jumping and shouting with joy.
Dignity, dignity, and dominance have long been lost.
Now, they are just two little girls who grew up together and are desperately trying to express their joy of reunion.
The maids and servants following behind Shi Liu were already shocked.
Is this the stern, god-like high priest in their minds?
The high priest not only laughs, but also shouts, dances, and chatters...
Sulamo...
Queen Mingli strode forward, hands on her waist, chin raised, and said through gritted teeth, "Great! I knew you two were closer! I treated you two equally, like sisters!"
Tang Bao: “…”
Pomegranate:"……"
The two looked at each other, and with smiles on their faces, one took Queen Mingli's arm on the left and the other on the right.
"I treat my two sisters equally!" Tang Bao shouted.
"I treat you two equally!" Pomegranate also shouted.
The palace maids and attendants behind Empress Mingli were also shocked.
Is this angry woman who is competing for favor with other women their Queen who is decisive, cold and domineering in the court?
He is clearly wearing the emperor's robes and crown, so why doesn't he have any majestic and domineering aura?
Queen Mingli looked at the two girls on her left and right who were smiling at her in a flattering manner, and finally she couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
The ladies and girls who came to add makeup, after being jaw-dropped by the shocking words of Queen Mingli and Shi Liu, could not help but feel complicated when they saw this scene again. Envy and jealousy were not enough to describe their feelings.
It’s no wonder that the royal family values Princess Fude so much that even the Empress Dowager and the Empress sent people to add makeup to her.
With two such strong backers behind her, even the royal family would have to offer her as tribute!
"His Majesty Xi Qin sent one hundred and twenty-eight loads of trousseau for the bride of his younger sister, the Princess!"
"The High Priest of Southern Xinjiang sent 128 loads of dowry for the Saint's wedding!"
Following the two calls of greeting from the ceremonial officers, two teams of people walked in side by side through the open gate of the mansion.
Each team is composed of strong and energetic young men.
Every strong young man had a big red silk tied around his waist.
Each pair of strong young men carried a large red wooden box.
There was also a big red silk tied on the wooden box.
Soon, the yard was filled with large red mahogany boxes.
