But this is not something they should concern themselves with.
After the initial shock and joy came worry: where were they going to get the appropriate dowry?
This is truly a joyful kind of trouble!
What pleased Chen's mother was the political significance this represented. As long as the Sixth Princess prospered, given how much she valued her son, the Chen family would surely flourish even more. Of course, she also valued her son's happiness.
Chen's father was more happy for his son; the more dowry the better, the more it proved that the Sixth Princess valued his son, Yan'er.
Yan'er will be better off marrying into that family.
However, it seems that his father's family will have to help with the dowry, as he doesn't want his son to be looked down upon because of a small dowry.
When Lan Shijun heard this, she felt extremely sad. Looking at the life her son was living, she started wiping away tears again.
"Young master, young master, the sixth princess has come to propose marriage!" Sesame hurriedly ran into the house to tell the young master.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiyan put down the embroidery needle in her hand.
"She's here?"
"No, the Sixth Princess hasn't arrived yet, but the betrothal gifts have arrived, young master. You didn't see them, but those boxes of betrothal gifts are dazzling. Everyone is rushing to the front to see them."
"Young master, shall we go and take a look too?"
Chen Zhiyan initially wanted to say no, but still wanted to see her, so he said, "We'll just go and take a look quietly."
Sesame understood instantly.
So the two of them sneaked off to the main hall.
In the main hall, Wei Wangqing walked in with the last batch of betrothal gifts. The courtyard, which was not small, looked rather crowded after being filled with these boxes.
Wei Wangqing cupped his hands and said, "Lord Chen, Lord Chen."
"Sixth Princess, there's no need for such formalities. We're all family now," Mother Chen said with a kind smile. She couldn't afford to be disrespectful to them, even with all the betrothal gifts.
Wei Wangqing took the gift list from Li Nuo and handed it over: "Please take a look, Lord Chen. This is the betrothal gift prepared by my daughter. I hope you will be satisfied."
Chen's mother smiled broadly, "Good, good, very satisfied."
A quick glance was enough to tell that these things were at least priceless, if not incredibly valuable. I have nothing but praise for this daughter-in-law.
Outside the hall, Chen Zhiyan stared at the small courtyard filled with piles of things, speechless. Although he had heard about it from Zhima, nothing could compare to the shock of seeing it with his own eyes.
He had no idea that His Highness was so, well, so incredibly wealthy.
But sweetness followed. His Highness was willing to offer so many betrothal gifts, which was enough to show his affection and importance to him. Even in the royal family, others would value him more because of this.
After all, a ruler who is favored by his wife and a ruler who is not favored are two different things.
Moreover, judging from this scale, it's probably even grander than the Crown Princess's event back then. Your Highness isn't afraid of attracting unwanted attention? Chen Zhiyan was somewhat reproachful, but mostly sweet.
But Chen's father, with his sharp eyes, spotted his son hiding behind and couldn't help but think to himself, "Sons really are like birds that grow up and cannot be kept at home!"
"Yan'er, come here."
Chen Zhiyan was surprised that his father had discovered him. He came out somewhat embarrassed, wondering if His Highness would think he was not reserved enough.
Wei Wangqing really didn't expect him to be here, but seeing Chen Zhiyan's blushing face, Wei Wangqing also felt a little shy.
Chen's mother was not happy that her son was here, but after receiving a glare from her husband, she didn't say anything more.
At this point, Chen's father began to play the role of matchmaker, saying, "Yan'er, why don't you accompany the Sixth Princess to stroll around the mansion? The Sixth Princess has come several times, but she hasn't had a proper look around the Chen mansion. We'll be family soon, and you're getting married soon too, so why don't you stay at the Chen mansion a little longer?"
Although Chen Zhiyan was embarrassed and annoyed by his father's bluntness, it was also what he wanted, so he could only say, "Your Highness, please come with me."
Wei Wangqing just followed the person away.
The two strolled through the garden.
"Your Highness, why did you prepare so many betrothal gifts?" Chen Zhiyan couldn't help but ask.
"Don't you like it?" Wei Wangqing asked back.
"No, I like it very much." How could I not like it?
only……
"However, I'm afraid the Crown Princess might..."
"It's alright, don't worry." She knew the Fourth Princess quite well. If the Third Princess were the Crown Princess, she would have to be more restrained, but the Fourth Princess wouldn't care at all, after all, she herself was the type to spend lavishly on beauties.
They might even think she's just as flirtatious and obsessed with beauty as she is!
As expected, Wei Wangqing guessed correctly. Wei Qingye, who was indulging in a gentle embrace, felt that his sixth sister was just as capable as he was!
"Oh." Would His Highness think he was being too nosy?
"I'm going to marry you. Do you have any requests? If so, I will do my best to fulfill them." She felt that many things in marriage were mutual, and since she had never been a wife before, she could only do her best.
Chen Zhiyan was the most deeply moved, and he almost couldn't help but tear up. He had never seen anyone's wife like His Highness, who considered him in every way and was afraid that he would be unhappy in the slightest.
He felt that his life had been worthwhile.
"No, Your Highness. Marrying Your Highness is the happiest thing for me." He didn't care about being reserved anymore. His Highness was so intoxicating that he just wanted to express his feelings and tell His Highness how much he loved her and how worthy she was of his love.
"Mmm." Wei Wangqing was a little shy. When did Young Master Chen become so unrestrained? She was still not used to it.
Then she thought it might be inappropriate not to respond, "I'm happy too."
Instantly, the two were surrounded by pink bubbles.
"Oh, right, this is for you," Chen Zhiyan said after a long pause.
Looking at the sachet Chen Zhiyan handed over, Wei Wangqing thought that the men of this era were so virtuous, and that he had really struck gold.
