Chapter 288: Nine Thousand Years Old, Please Coax Your Parents-in-Law
Yun Mansion, the door is open.
The Yun couple stood at the gate, waiting eagerly.
"Why haven't you come back yet? Didn't you say it would be today?"
A gorgeous carriage drove over and stopped in front of them. The door opened and a light figure jumped out.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
It was Yun Zheng, her smile was as bright and beautiful as a flower.
The Yun couple held her hands, one on each side, and looked at her anxiously.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."
They didn't know how they managed to survive. They stayed at home all day, not daring to go anywhere, and were worried about their daughter in the palace.
So many people died in the palace, including several princes, which made them very worried.
Yunmu looked at her daughter and asked worriedly, "Are you doing well in the palace? Have you been wronged?"
Yun Zheng had bright eyes and white teeth, and looked energetic, without a trace of haggardness. "No, I'm fine."
But in the eyes of her parents, she was thinner and suffered.
"You've lost so much weight, you must be exhausted. Go home and have a good rest."
They didn't dare ask too much about what was happening in the palace, as long as the child returned safely.
"Mom prepared your favorite meals and also made some nourishing soup for you to eat."
The two men pulled their daughter home. Yun Zheng walked a few steps, stopped, and turned back.
"Wait a minute, Prince Rui is here too."
The Yun couple turned around at the same time and saw the familiar figure next to the carriage.
The man was cold and unruly, dressed in brocade and with black hair, he amazed countless people.
"Greetings to Prince Rui."
Li Wuyang raised his right hand, "Hurry up, you two are my elders, I should bow to you."
Father Yun's expression froze slightly. "I dare not, I dare not."
Yun Zheng interrupted with a smile, "Okay, let's go inside first."
The dining table was filled with steaming hot food. The Yun couple kept serving food to their daughter. Soon, the bowls of rice piled up into a small mountain.
As for his deskmate Li Wuyang, he was simply ignored.
Yun Zheng's mouth twitched, and she moved the small mountain into Li Wuyang's bowl. She couldn't eat that much.
"Eat more, you're welcome."
Li Wuyang smiled and said, "No, we are all family."
A family? Father Yun frowned. He felt indescribably sad when he thought about sending his daughter off to get married next month.
She married into the royal family, so it will be difficult to see her in the future.
But, he only has this one daughter.
Li Wuyang looked over and chuckled, "Uncle and aunt, the wedding date has been set. Please take care of it."
Yunmu sighed softly, "This is too rushed. There's no time to prepare many things."
A girl’s dowry is prepared from a young age, but Yun Zheng’s dowry was donated to the national treasury. What could be sold was sold, and what could be handed over was handed over.
It's too late to prepare again.
Li Wuyang took out a list and said, "These are the things I got from the national treasury and the emperor's private treasury. Now they are returned to their original owners."
When Yun’s father saw it, he was stunned. Isn’t this the dowry he prepared for his daughter?
"How did you get it? Why would the Emperor agree?"
Li Wuyang said lightly, "It's not his thing, so it's useless for him to take it."
Yun Zheng leaned over to take a look. Not bad, not bad, they are all back.
This dowry represents the parents' love for their daughter and has a different meaning.
She had no choice but to distribute the dowry, but now it is in her hands again.
"This must have cost a lot of money. I'll give you the money."
The emperor is such a stingy person that he won't pay it back for free.
Li Wuyang waved his hand and said, "Just consider it a gift from me to you."
Yun's father was very satisfied. With these things, he could put together a decent dowry.
He felt much more favorable towards Li Wuyang, "Okay, okay, it's amazing that Prince Rui has such a kind heart."
He specially picked up some food for Li Wuyang. Li Wuyang smiled slightly, knowing that this was the right move.
“This is what I should do.”
He took out a brocade box and said, "This is a gift from me to you two. Please accept it."
When the Yun couple opened it, they found a house deed with Yun's father's name written on it.
"What does this mean?"
Li Wuyang said sincerely, "This house is located in the alley behind the Rui Palace. The back doors of the two houses face each other, and the road in between is private. It can be separated when the time comes, making travel very convenient."
"After Yun Zheng and I get married, you two can move in here."
The Yun family couple was very excited, "This... This is against the rules."
Li Wuyang knew Yun Zheng's feelings for her parents, so he respected them very much.
"Rules are made to be broken. Besides, can you two be at ease with your beloved daughter living in a strange place?"
Yun Zheng leaned on Yun Mu's arms and acted like a spoiled child, "Mom and Dad, just listen to him. I want to come over often to eat."
Yunmu gently touched her daughter's head, her eyes full of love.
"There's plenty of food in Prince Rui's Mansion, how could we miss your bite?"
Li Wuyang chuckled and said, "The taste of home is different. Even the delicacies from the land and the sea cannot replace it. Father-in-law, mother-in-law, please don't think we come too often when the time comes."
Yun Zheng smiled secretly as she even invited her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Li Wuyang couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw this.
The Yun family couple was coaxed into smiling, "Okay, come on."
Li Wuyang and Yun Zheng smiled at each other, everything was said without words.
After the meal, Li Wuyang took out a thick list and said, "This is the betrothal gift, prepared according to the prince's specifications."
There aren't many things, but each one is a fine piece, and they are exclusively for the royal family, making them extremely precious.
"I hope Yun Zheng and I have a grand and dignified wedding, on par with anyone else."
This is also what Yun's father thinks. His daughter deserves the best in the world.
Don't think he doesn't know those gossips about his daughter behind her back, saying that she's getting married for the second time and won't be able to marry a good husband, and even if she does, the other party won't respect her. It makes him feel very upset.
He wants to slap those people in the face!
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Early the next morning, the Yun Mansion was decorated with lights and filled with guests, and the atmosphere was joyous.
A bright red carpet was laid out at the gate, and the door was crowded with curious passers-by.
"Is this some happy news?"
"Don't you know yet? Today is a good day for Prince Rui to present his betrothal gifts."
"Wow, I must take a good look at this."
"Here it comes, here it comes. So majestic and grand."
A heavily armored team appeared at the intersection, solemn and majestic.
At the front were sixteen ceremonial guards, with fluttering colorful flags, looking so gorgeous that people dared not look directly at them.
A majestic man dressed in royal robes sat on a horse, followed by a long team including ceremonial officers and historians. Behind them was a long team of betrothal gifts, which seemed to have no end in sight, showing the majesty and pomp of the royal family.
A high-pitched voice rang out, "According to the Empress Dowager's order, an envoy is being dispatched to carry out the ceremony of accepting the bride's betrothal gift."
The Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree, and the head of the imperial clan came in person to propose marriage. It was so grand and solemn that the onlookers were extremely envious.
"It's better to have a daughter. She can marry into the royal family with great fanfare."
In this boiling crowd, two people looked at each other and exchanged a subtle look...
