Chapter 814: Dowry (3)
"Land and shops are not included in the gift list because they are all in Daliang." Tieyi smiled sincerely: "Your Highness will convert them all into gold and silver, which is 10,000 kilograms of gold."
Ten thousand pounds of gold!
Luo Tan almost fainted.
Tieyi continued, "The properties from Prince Rui's Mansion to the Chen Residence and all the buildings in between are also included. I'll have the deeds delivered to you later." He respectfully handed the betrothal gifts list to Luo Xueyan and said, "Please accept them, Madam."
Luo Xueyan confiscated it.
Everyone in the room was stunned, and Luo Xueyan didn't dare to accept it.
That's 10,000 kilograms of gold, and there's such a long list of betrothal gifts. Is the Shen family going to become the richest family in Mingqi?
Didn’t King Rui really move the entire treasury of Daliang here?
Is Prince Rui mentally healthy?
Shen Xin frowned, but Shen Qiu was the first to react. He hesitated and cautiously asked, "Does your emperor know about the betrothal gift list written by Prince Rui?"
Tieyi was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, smiled knowingly, and said, "Your Majesty does not value material possessions very much, and these are not a large number."
Seeing the shocked expressions on the Shen family's faces, Tieyi continued, "In the Daliang royal family, gold, silver, and pearls are just like sand and fine soil, scattered everywhere."
Everyone stood in awe. It seemed that Daliang was indeed a rich and powerful country, extremely wealthy. Such a generous betrothal gift, enough to instantly fill the Mingqi treasury, seemed like nothing more than sand and dirt to them. How rich must one be?
Tie Yi added, “But please rest assured, Madam General, your Highness is marrying Miss Shen, and everything is in accordance with the royal etiquette of Daliang.”
Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin finally put it down and woke up. Although they had no shortage of gold and silver, they still attached great importance to Shen Miao and followed the etiquette. They also sighed that Shen Miao's betrothal gift was not even half as generous as the one Emperor Wenhui used to win the Empress.
If an ordinary minister were to marry a wife, he would naturally consider not giving more than the royal family. However, Prince Rui was not from Mingqi, but from Daliang, so he did not need to consider this aspect. Even if he gave more than the royal family, the royal family would not say anything. In this way, Shen Miao's betrothal gift should be the most grand since the founding of Mingqi.
Chen Xin and Luo Xueyan finally felt a little comforted. No matter what, since the imperial decree could no longer be changed, Shen Miao was destined to marry Prince Rui. A glamorous wedding was the lifelong wish of many girls, and it could be considered a form of compensation for Shen Miao.
Thinking of this, the slight resentment they had towards King Rui dissipated a lot, and their attitude towards the bearded man in front of them became much friendlier.
Luo Xueyan asked, "But why haven't you sent the engagement letter yet?"
Before getting married, one has to match their horoscopes, but because Shen Miao's marriage was very special and it was granted directly by Emperor Wenhui, even this process was skipped.
Tieyi said, "Your Highness has had a famous monk calculate your horoscope for Miss Shen. It is believed that they are a match made in heaven, a couple cultivated over five hundred years. Madam, please hand over the engagement letter to me today. Your Highness's engagement letter will be delivered together with the land deed."
The other person's attitude was very sincere, as if there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Luo Tan couldn't help but ask, "When is the wedding date? His Majesty's decree didn't specify a specific date."
Tieyi smiled and said, "The marriage proposal has been prepared. His Highness will return to Daliang after the New Year. On the day he returns to Daliang, Sheng will marry Miss Chen and they will go all the way to the gate of Daliang's capital."
That was like getting married from Mingqi, with drums and gongs all the way back to Daliang. After completing the various wedding rituals in Mingqi, the wedding ceremony was officially announced to the people of Daliang upon returning to Daliang. This was practically elevating Shen Miao to a very high position, announcing to the world that she was the Princess of Rui.
