Chapter 319 Sending betrothal gifts!
At this moment, the butler walked in lightly, bowed respectfully, and said in a calm and joyful voice: "Master, everything is ready."
Upon hearing this, Mo Liyuan felt both anticipation and a hint of subtle nervousness. He slowly stood up and entered the house.
Seeing this, Mo Yifan's eyes flashed with doubt, and he couldn't help but ask: "Butler, what are you ready for?"
Tianyi stood aside, a playful smile on his face, "Third Prince, the master is going to give the betrothal gift to the princess today."
Mo Yifan was stunned when he heard this, as if he couldn't believe his ears: "No, the date for the Imperial Observatory hasn't been chosen yet?"
Tianyi curled his lips in disdain. "Master, if you wait for the day chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, who knows how long it will take. Now, we've found someone else who has already calculated the date. I guarantee it will be an auspicious day."
Mo Yifan shook his head helplessly when he heard this, with a playful smile on his face: "Little uncle can't wait..."
Mo Liyuan came out wearing a dark red robe. The color of the robe was deep and restrained, yet it was luxurious, completely different from the black robe he usually wore.
Mo Yifan's eyes lit up and he jokingly said, "Little uncle, I usually see you wearing a black robe. I wonder if you just went in to change. I didn't expect that you look good in a dark red robe."
Mo Liyuan heard this and smiled faintly, "I'm a good-looking person, so I look good in anything I wear."
When these words were spoken, not only Mo Yifan couldn't help laughing, but even Tianyi beside him couldn't help but smile slightly.
When the group left the palace, they saw rows of secret guards and boxes filled with betrothal gifts already waiting outside. Mo Yifan gasped at the sight, "No, little uncle, are you going to deliver the betrothal gifts? Did you empty out all the warehouses in your palace?"
Tianyi added quietly, "The master also had people buy a lot of rare things."
Mo Liyuan jumped onto his horse, a barely perceptible smile on his lips, "Let's go!"
With an order, a group of people set off in a mighty manner, with the sounds of horse hooves and wheels intertwined.
People on both sides of the street stopped to watch. The scale of the scene was jaw-dropping.
They whispered to each other, "I wonder which nobleman's wedding is so grand?"
Someone in the crowd pointed at the figure on the tall horse at the front of the procession and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? It looks like one of the Regent's men! Look, the person sitting on that horse looks like the Regent himself!"
Everyone around was stunned. The Prince Regent was getting married today? How come they had never heard of this?
A feeling of doubt spread among the crowd. Someone carefully observed the procession and said doubtfully, "Look, this procession doesn't look like they're going to pick up the bride. They look more like they're going to deliver the betrothal gifts."
As soon as this was said, someone immediately echoed: "The Regent is indeed worthy of being the Regent. Just sending the betrothal gifts is so grand and impressive. It's really enviable."
In the team, Mo Liyuan sat upright on his horse, his face stern, but his eyes revealed a hint of tenderness.
Many young girls looked at the heroic Regent standing in front of them, their eyes flashing with infatuation.
"Wow! Who said the Regent is not interested in women? If I can get the Regent to rule over me, then it wouldn't matter if I live a few years less." A young girl couldn't help but whispered.
"Go, go, if the Regent can just look at me, I'll be satisfied." Another girl echoed, her face full of longing and yearning.
Their discussions echoed among the crowd.
Mo Liyuan and his group arrived at the gate of Lan Mansion.
Tianyi immediately went forward and knocked on the door. Xiao Lantern opened the door a crack and saw the Regent and his entourage. He was startled and quickly opened the door and saluted respectfully: "Your servant greets the Regent."
"No need for formalities! Go tell Yue'er that I'm here to deliver the betrothal gifts."
Little Lantern stood up and looked at the endless procession of betrothal gifts. A hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, then trotted towards the attic.
Chu Xia saw Little Lantern running towards her breathlessly, and her eyes sparkled with curiosity: "Little Lantern, what's the matter? You look so breathless."
Little Lantern was still panting, but she didn't care about anything else. She said anxiously, "Miss Chuxia, quickly go inform the eldest lady that the Regent... the Regent has come to deliver the betrothal gifts! From what I can see, the betrothal gift line is endless!"
Chu Xia heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and instantly bloomed with a strange brilliance: "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" The little lantern nodded repeatedly.
Chuxia turned around and almost jumped towards the room, shouting, "Miss, Miss!" There was excitement and a bit of childish joy in her voice.
In the room, Lan Xiyue was sitting on a rattan chair, flipping through a yellowed medical book in her hands.
She had just treated You Dahe's brother's leg injury and was scolded by her brother for a few words. After coming back, she read medical books to pass the time.
Chuchun stood aside, watching Chuxia rush in with a look of joy, and couldn't help but frowned: "Chuxia, you are becoming more and more unruly. What's the matter? Why are you yelling? Can't you see that the young lady is reading a medical book?"
Chu Xia stuck out her tongue and laughed playfully. Then she walked to Lan Xiyue's side and said in a low voice, "Miss, the Regent is here."
Lan Xiyue heard this, and the medical book in her hand trembled slightly, but her eyes did not leave the page. She simply said, "He's here, so what's the big deal? It's not the first time Mo Liyuan has come to my place. Is it worth your surprise?"
Seeing the young lady's indifferent reaction, Chu Xia couldn't help but feel anxious. She raised her voice and said, "Young lady, this time is different! The Regent... I heard from Little Lantern that the Regent is here to deliver a betrothal gift!"
Lan Xiyue's hand trembled violently, and the medical book in her hand fell to the ground with a soft "pa" sound. She looked up, her eyes filled with shock and confusion: "Sending a betrothal gift?"
Chu Xia nodded, a faint smile on her lips, "Yes, I'm here to give you the betrothal gifts."
Just then, a little maid came in and bowed, "Miss, Xiao Muzi, who was with the eldest young master, came to tell you to go to the front hall."
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue quickly stood up, unconsciously smoothed the non-existent wrinkles on her dress with her hands, and left the room.
Seeing this, Chuchun and Chuxia hurriedly followed him out, their hearts filled with joy.
In the front hall, as soon as Lan Xiyue stepped over the threshold, two pairs of eyes fell on her like magnets.
Lan Shenye was looking at her with a smile, "Yueyue is here."
Lan Xiyue hummed softly, walked over and sat down, then turned her gaze to Mo Liyuan across from her, "Why did you think of delivering the betrothal gift today?"
"I just want to give Yue'er a surprise." There was a bit of pampering and tenderness in his tone, and his eyes were deep.
Lan Xiyue heard this and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "I haven't prepared my dowry yet."
Mo Liyuan said very gently: "Yuer, don't worry about preparing the dowry. I have prepared it."
Lan Xiyue couldn't help laughing when she heard that, "I haven't heard of the husband's family preparing a dowry." There was a hint of teasing and sweetness in her words.
Mo Liyuan looked at her with deep eyes, his voice low and powerful, "Yuer, have you forgotten what I said last night? Today is a good day. I went to the Duke of Huguo's mansion to talk to the old man. The old man said that Yueer has severed ties with the Marquis's mansion, so the betrothal gifts naturally do not need to be sent to the Marquis's mansion.
"Yue'er has established her own residence outside, so the betrothal gifts can be sent directly to Yue'er. The Duke of Huguo will help Yue'er prepare her dowry and will also come to help on the wedding day. Yue'er, don't worry, this prince has already prepared a dowry for Yue'er, so you don't have to worry about anything."
