The imperial capital, Beicheng, Imperial Prefecture.
Oh, this place can no longer be called the Imperial Prefect’s Mansion. Just over half a month ago, the plaque of “National Preceptor’s Mansion” in front of the door was suddenly taken down and replaced with the plaque of “Shen’s Mansion”.
Following this, many people were busy coming in and out of Shen's Mansion every day, making a lot of noise.
This incident has aroused the curiosity of many people.
Even the emperor in the palace heard about it and specially sent the imperial advisor to ask about it.
The Imperial Master simply explained: "I made a bet with an old friend and lost the house to him."
An old friend of the National Preceptor? He must be an expert from outside the world.
The emperor continued to ask questions with great interest, but the imperial master did not want to talk more.
Seeing that he could ask no more questions, the emperor had no choice but to let the imperial advisor leave. Then he ordered someone to find a map of the imperial capital and think about choosing a house for the imperial master.
The "old friend" mentioned by the Imperial Master is naturally Zhang Lingche.
More than half a month ago, he entered the imperial capital to find a suitable house for his apprentice so that she could get married.
He can't let his precious apprentice get married from the inn, right? That's too low.
After wandering around the wealthy circles of the imperial capital, Zhang Lingche fell in love with the Imperial Preceptor's house.
In the entire imperial capital, apart from the imperial palace, the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion was the most magnificent. It was built to be luxurious and magnificent. Except for a few places, everything else was to his liking.
Unknown to the Imperial Preceptor, he had already visited his house in private.
Having taken a good look at Zhaizi, the next question is how to get it.
Zhang Lingche had a heart-to-heart talk with the Imperial Preceptor for a while. To sum it up, it was nothing more than a big stick plus sweet dates. What could the Imperial Preceptor do? Under his threats and inducements, he had no choice but to agree to give up the house.
Of course you can't say this to the outside world, otherwise the national teacher will lose his face?
After acquiring the house, Zhang Lingche began to decorate and rebuild it.
“Hey, go a little further to the left.” Zhang Lingche was directing his servants to hang up red lanterns when he received news from Pei Xiang that the fleet had arrived at the dock of the imperial capital.
He immediately ordered people to open the door of the house and prepare to welcome the bride into the house.
However, he only waited until Pei Xiang and his servants arrived, but there was no sign of the bride.
“Where’s the little cicada?”
Pei Xiang was also very worried, with a frown on his face: "She is delayed by something, so let's prepare first. She must arrive before Xue Ting comes to pick her up."
"Fine."
When Gu Xueting's fleet went to the Shen family to deliver the betrothal gift, it attracted a lot of people's attention. What's more, he didn't hide the news that he was getting married at all, so everyone in the imperial capital basically knew about King Chen's wedding.
As soon as this news came out, countless young women in the imperial capital were heartbroken.
At first, although they knew that it was unlikely that they would become Princess Chen, they could still dream about it, but now they have no chance to even dream about it.
All the women in Mengpo were thinking bitterly in their hearts, who is the little goblin who shamefully hooked up with King Chen?
They secretly followed the news of Prince Chen's palace, waiting for the legendary woman who was about to become Princess Chen to show up.
As soon as the wedding fleet appeared on the pier, these women got first-hand news.
To their regret, they did not see the newlywed bride at all.
I was surprised by the boxes of dowry that were moved down.
The original betrothal gift from King Chen was eye-popping enough, but they were still waiting to see how much dowry Princess Chen would have. If King Chen's betrothal gift was brought back intact, they would seize the opportunity to laugh at her severely!
Even they secretly hope that this will happen.
This way they can despise Princess Chen together.
As if this would make their disillusioned hearts feel better.
As parents, will Shen Jianghan and Pei Xiang give outsiders the opportunity to criticize their precious daughter? Even thinking about it, I knew it was impossible.
The daughter may get married once in her life, so of course they must do their best to make her beautiful.
So the people in the imperial capital were fortunate enough to experience what it means to get married at a sky-high price.
When the dowry was carried into Prince Chen's Mansion for the dowry display process, everyone who saw it was astonished.
Only today do they realize how little knowledge they have!
Because the dowry was too much, it couldn’t even be placed in Prince Chen’s palace, so it could only be left outside temporarily.
Among the crowd watching the fun outside, there was a person who not only did it accidentally but also did it on purpose. In short, he bumped into a box and accidentally knocked open the lid of the box.
Before he had time to stand up, he heard a gasp of air.
When they looked up, they all had expressions of shock and speechlessness.
What’s in the box? He looked back.
Then he also became a member of the aphasic army.
I saw that the large agarwood box that was half a man's height actually contained round and bright white orbs. Each one was no smaller than the size of a lychee. The sparkling color was so dazzling that it almost blinded everyone's titanium alloy eyes.
But later they discovered that this box of orbs in the dowry was nothing more than the lowest quality.
In addition to the staggering variety of rare treasures, there are many things in the dowry that ordinary people have never seen.
For example, the bed-sized turtle shell that was just moved from the car.
“This tortoise shell just looks big, why can it be used as a dowry?”
“Could it be used to boil turtle paste? Haha, the turtle paste made from such a big turtle shell is indeed extraordinary.”
Everyone pointed at the turtle shell and talked and laughed.
At this moment, a person stood out from the crowd and almost threw himself in front of the turtle shell, his eyes full of fire.
"I once read in a book that the dragon has nine sons, one of which is the dragon. The dragon will shed its shell when it reaches adulthood. This shell has twenty-four ribs, corresponding to the twenty-four solar terms, and these rib segments There is a big bead hidden in it, which has miraculous effects on beauty, detoxification, and longevity. I originally thought it was just a story made up by the ancients, but I didn’t expect it to be true!”
He stroked the turtle shell gently, looking like he wanted to hold it in his arms.
The boy carrying the turtle shell smiled at him and said, "Sir, you have good eyesight."
This is what it means to admit!
This time everyone was no longer shocked, but frightened.
It turns out that this turtle shell is actually the shed shell of the legendary dragon!
After that, there were many kinds of exotic treasures, such as the Pearl Tent, Quehan Mat, Divine Brocade Quilt, Chengshui Silk, Jade Piggy Bank, Dragon Silk Clothes, and Chongming Pillow.
These things can no longer be purchased by those who simply have money, but also by those who are powerful.
Even the current emperor, even if he has the power of the world, would never be able to prepare such a dowry for his daughter.
Even before Shen Yizhiren arrived, various legends about her had already spread in the imperial capital.
Those who were secretly waiting to see the joke ended up feeling discouraged and did not dare to speak out easily.
