In the end, He Yang didn't go to the Yun residence to join in the fun; instead, he ran back to his room crying.
He needs time to calm down and sort out his emotions.
Having just learned that his eldest son was to be engaged to the sixth prince, he had mixed feelings, including blessings for his eldest son and worries about falling out of favor.
Meanwhile, he wasn't the only one who cried because of this.
Ever since Lin Qianyu learned about the Sixth Prince's engagement, she has been crying her heart out, unable to catch her breath.
She had always thought she had a great chance of becoming the sixth prince's concubine, but she never expected that the position would be suddenly taken away by someone else.
Later, she learned from the secret guards that the Sixth Prince's proposed bride was actually Yun Zhizhi, the lowly fake legitimate daughter, which made it even more unacceptable to her.
Lin Qianyu immediately fainted from crying.
Two days ago, after learning from their daughter that she was about to marry the Sixth Prince, the Yun couple were unable to sleep at night.
They originally thought their daughter only had some connection with the sixth prince, but they never expected their relationship to develop to this extent.
The fact that the sixth prince and his daughter had become friends was already shocking enough to them.
Now, the Sixth Prince has unexpectedly become their son-in-law, which is beyond their imagination.
At that moment, Yun Haodong heard the sound of gongs coming from afar, knowing that this was a signal that the Sixth Prince was about to arrive.
So he quickly led his wife Fang Lanzhu, his son Yun Xiaochen, and the servants of the Yun family to the door to prepare to welcome the arrival of the Sixth Prince.
Soon, the Sixth Prince Zhao Yunjin appeared before everyone, riding a tall white horse with a dashing and heroic air.
His movements were swift and graceful, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Immediately afterwards, he jumped off his horse and strode over to the Yun couple.
Just as Yun Haodong and the others were about to bow, Zhao Yunjin quickly stopped them, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Father, Mother, we're family now, there's no need for such formalities."
At this moment, Master Xuanzhen also stepped down from the carriage and said with a smile, "My dear in-laws, Jin'er is right. You don't need to be so polite."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Yun Haodong and the others to respond, but instead gave Zhao Yunjin a wink.
Zhao Yunjin immediately understood her master's meaning and turned to the official matchmaker behind her, shouting, "Don't delay the auspicious time!"
In the Chu Yun Kingdom, people place great importance on auspicious times for both weddings and engagements.
Therefore, Zhao Yunjin didn't want to waste time and just wanted to complete this important ceremony as soon as possible.
Wearing a large red flower in her hair and red lipstick, Matchmaker Li smiled so broadly that her eyes narrowed into slits, and the fat on her face jiggled as she spoke to Yun Haodong and Fang Lanzhu:
"Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Yun! Congratulations on your daughter finding a good match."
"The Sixth Prince personally prepared sixty-six loads of betrothal gifts, which is enough to prove that he takes this matter very seriously. You can rest assured to entrust your daughter to him."
"Also, Miss Yun is very lucky! She is able to marry such a wonderful husband as the Sixth Prince, and she will definitely live a very happy life in the future."
Immediately afterwards, Matchmaker Li began to announce the wedding gifts: "Ten loads of fine silk and satin."
"Eight boxes of gold and silver jewelry, and three boxes of valuable calligraphy and paintings."
"Five boxes of antique porcelain."
"Four boxes of rare items."
"Four boxes containing jade ruyi scepters and jadeite bracelets."
"Six boxes of precious medicinal herbs."
"..."
As the matchmaker announced the betrothal gifts, everyone present stared wide-eyed, especially the Yun family, who gasped in astonishment.
These betrothal gifts were all extremely precious items, each one worth a fortune, demonstrating the importance the Sixth Prince attached to this marriage.
The common people who gathered around the Yun residence to watch the spectacle were amazed and discussed what charm Yun Zhizhi, who was about to become the sixth imperial concubine, possessed that enabled her to receive such a generous dowry.
And so, amidst the gasps of amazement, the sixty-six loads of betrothal gifts were delivered to the Yun residence.
Each box was carried by two strong servants, making for a spectacular sight.
These boxes were filled with all sorts of treasures, including gold and silver jewelry, antiques and paintings, silks and satins, and so on, which were dazzling to behold.
Before long, news of the Sixth Prince's visit to the Yun family to propose marriage spread throughout the entire capital.
The common people whispered among themselves, discussing the matter quietly:
"It's so enviable! Yun Zhizhi's luck is simply incredible! Who would have thought that she, a mere fake legitimate daughter, would turn her life around and become the Sixth Imperial Consort?"
"I really want to know what she's capable of that makes someone as cold as the Sixth Prince fall for her."
"I'm really worried that Yun Zhizhi will stop setting up her stall after she becomes an imperial concubine."
"That's right. Ever since I tasted Yun Zhizhi's delicious food, I've been hoping she'd come out to set up her stall every day. I hope she doesn't slack off!"
“I’m more interested in what she will sell next time she sets up her stall, and where she will set up her stall.”
………
The next day, at the end of the Chen hour (7-9 AM).
Inside the Misty Rain Pavilion.
Dressed in men's clothing, Yun Zhizhi took out silver from her sleeve, counted it carefully, and then handed it to Gui Jiaoqi: "Brother Gui Jiaoqi, I heard you worked very hard this time, so I'm giving you an extra tael of silver as a reward."
Ghost Foot Seven grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and said, "Hehe! Little brother, I only sacrificed a little bit of my looks, and was hugged and kissed by that young master Yu."
After saying that, he quickly declined, saying, "I can't accept this reward. Besides, this time I'll only accept forty taels of silver from you."
Yun Zhizhi looked at the ten taels of silver he handed her, scratched her head, and was full of doubt.
Why did Ghost Foot Seven suddenly give her a 20% discount?
"However, I have a small request." Ghost Foot Seven smiled and looked at Yun Zhizhi.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhizhi replied, "Tell me about it!"
Sure enough, he wouldn't give her a discount for no reason.
"Next time, if you need someone to avenge you, considering we've already cooperated twice and even received a discount, could you give me priority?" A hint of expectation flashed in Ghost Foot Seven's eyes.
So that's how it is. It seems that Ghost Foot Seven has become addicted to avenging her.
Without much thought, Yun Zhizhi immediately replied, "Of course. No need for a discount this time, save it for next time!"
After all, she didn't know when the next time would come, and if others didn't provoke her and He Yang, she certainly wouldn't take the initiative to stir up trouble.
Ghost Foot Seven grinned: "Okay."
Not long after returning to the Yun residence.
Yun Zhizhi couldn't wait to grab a No-Face doll costume she had prepared in advance and tiptoe toward the back gate of the He residence next door.
The back door of the He residence was tightly closed, but there was a crack in the door, through which one could see what was happening inside.
Yun Zhizhi peeked through the crack in the door and saw He Yang sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, staring at her with a long face and a mournful expression.
The gatekeeper of the He residence pushed open the door, and Yun Zhizhi strode into the courtyard, smiling as she said to He Yang, "Lazy Yang, don't be angry, I just wanted to give you a surprise!"
