At the Mobei Palace, Queen Mother Bo finally felt relieved when she saw her son return.
Bo only learned about the great changes in the capital today. When she heard that her son had killed the emperor's six sons and driven the emperor off the throne, she was so shocked that her scalp went numb and goose bumps covered the ground.
Fortunately, my son succeeded, otherwise...
Otherwise, the Mobei Palace would be finished.
However, my son has always been prudent and cautious in his actions. I believe he must have made thorough preparations before he could do such a big thing.
"Wang'er, the Yu family has been rehabilitated and their titles have been restored. You should hurry and marry Jinshu back!"
Huo Qi smiled and said, "Mother, that's exactly what I wanted to tell you. Thank you for helping me prepare the betrothal gifts. Tomorrow I will go to Yujia Village to propose."
"Wang'er, how can you still let the Yu family live in Yujia Village?"
"Prince Kaiyang refused to live in the city."
"In that case, I will help Prince Kaiyang and Princess Kaiyang prepare clothes. We can't let them, such dignified princes and princesses, wear clothes that only criminals can wear!"
"Thank you, mother, for your concern!"
Huo Qi is indeed not very good at these things.
Bo ordered the maid, "Go and get the list of betrothal gifts I prepared earlier."
The maid hurried into the room to get the gift list.
After a while, the gift list was brought over and handed to Bo.
Bo looked at the gift list in her hand and said, "My prince, I asked those girls to come and prepare this betrothal gift earlier, hoping that you would choose one of them. Fortunately, you were not chosen. None of those girls could compare to Jinshu. Now that Jinshu has regained her status as a princess, I think this gift list needs to be revised."
She handed the gift list to her son.
The son looked at the items written on the gift list. It was already very generous, but in his heart, the amount on the list was far from enough.
"Three times more, mother."
"Three times?" Bo hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's our blessing that Jinshu can marry into the Mobei Palace. She's a miracle doctor who saved your life and mine, and I think she'll bring prosperity to our family. With her around, you were able to defeat the Hu people's attack in one fell swoop, and this time when you went to the capital and turned the entire imperial city upside down, you succeeded. She's your lucky star, and the lucky star of the Mobei Palace."
Huo Qi was so happy when he heard his mother praising Jinshu. Just thinking about it, he knew that his mother and Jinshu would get along well in the future.
Bo thought for a moment and said, "I don't think tripling it is enough. How about quadrupling it? If it's not enough, I can use my dowry to make up for it."
Huo Qi felt warm at heart when he heard this: "Mother, how can I use your dowry?"
Bo took her son's hand and said with a smile, "You finally have a girl you like. If you can start a family, I will die with no regrets. Why should I care about the dowry?"
Huo Qi said, "Mother, Jinshu said you can live for at least another forty years."
Bo burst into laughter. "Yes, yes, yes. I still have to live for another forty years, waiting for you and Jinshu to have more children. Then I will help you take care of your grandchildren, and then watch your grandchildren get married and give me great-grandchildren."
Huo Qi smiled and said, "Of course I will, Mother. Just wait until your great-grandchildren are around you!"
Bo thought it was interesting and laughed happily.
Then Bo and her son prepared the gift list for tomorrow's engagement. They were busy in the warehouse for two hours, and they wished they could move the entire warehouse to Yujia Village.
In the end, Huo Qi did not let his mother include her dowry because the reward Chu Zeyun gave him was more than enough.
At night, Huo Qi went out of the city to pick up Yu Jinshu.
"Would you like to live in the mansion or the palace?"
Now that his mother approved of Yu Jinshu, Huo Qi felt that it would be okay to take him directly to the palace.
Yu Jinshu said, "I plan to stay in Yujia Village tonight. My tribesmen are planning to kill a few sheep and roast them whole to celebrate."
Huo Qi laughed and said, "This is a lively event. I must join in."
Yu Jinshu couldn't be more pleased!
Yujia Village was very lively that night. Three sheep were not enough to eat, so Huo Qi asked the guards to buy five more.
We had a party all night, singing and dancing, and enjoyed ourselves until the early morning.
Yu Jinshu urged Huo Qi to return to the palace, but Huo Qi refused to go back. He squeezed the Yu family members onto a kang and slept until dawn, refusing to get up.
At the Mobei Palace, when Concubine Dowager Bo heard that her son was having fun in Yujia Village last night, she headed directly to Yujia Village with dozens of carriages full of betrothal gifts.
In the small house in Yujia Village, Yu Zhongming and Hua got up quietly, fearing that they would wake up their future son-in-law and daughter, and then they gently woke up their son.
Just as Yu Yufan was about to speak, Yu Zhongming hushed him and signaled his son to leave the house.
There were only Huo Qi and Yu Jinshu in the room. They slept next to each other and hugged each other out of habit.
Outside, Yu Yufan tried to peek through the window, but Yu Zhongming slapped him on the shoulder and chased him away.
"Father, Jinshu hasn't married Huo Qi yet, and you don't care about her."
Yu Yufan was obviously jealous. Such a good sister was about to get married. When he returned to the capital, he didn't know when he would be able to see his sister again.
Yu Zhongming said seriously, "I'm not an old stubborn person. Don't look at me anymore. Look, there are quite a lot of people coming over there. Let's go take a look."
Yu Yufan looked at the people coming in a line from the direction of the city and thought they were from the Mobei Palace, so he ran over.
After a while, he ran back and told his father, "The Queen Mother has arrived with the betrothal gifts. The carriages carrying the gifts are so long that you can't see the end of them."
Yu Zhongming laughed and said, "What do you mean by 'too beautiful to be seen'? When the time comes, all the rewards and betrothal gifts from the Emperor will be given to Jinshu as her dowry."
Yu Yufan smiled and nodded, "Yes, father. My family's property was previously confiscated. Although the emperor returned all the property to us, half of it was swallowed up and spent by the group who confiscated the property. If it weren't for the generous reward from the emperor, I really wouldn't have had much dowry to give."
Yu Zhongming sighed, "Yes! What a shame for all the gold and silver treasures that our family has accumulated over decades."
Hua came over and asked, "Should we wake up Jinshu and the others?"
Yu Zhongming said, "Let's go greet the Queen Dowager first!"
When Concubine Dowager Bo first returned to Yujia Village, she saw the small bungalows and tents where the Yu family lived, and she began to cry.
"Prince Kaiyang, Princess, you have suffered so much in your life."
Yu Zhongming said, "Thanks to the care of Concubine Wang, we are able to live a decent life."
Bo asked, "Where is Huo Qi?"
Yu Zhongming glanced towards the hut and said, "It was quite late last night, but he's still sleeping."
Bo smiled and said, "Kaiyang King, you dote on him too much."
Yu Zhongming smiled and said, "The King of Mobei is my son-in-law, so naturally I have to pamper him."
In the house, Yu Jinshu was awakened by the neighing of horses outside. When she opened her eyes, she found herself sleeping in Huo Qi's arms at home.
This is a heated kang, a large bunk bed! My parents and brother all sleep on it.
"Your Majesty, please get up quickly. It seems the Queen Mother is here."
