This kind of attitude was enough to show Shen Miao's position in Shen Xin and wife's heart.
At the back of the crowd, Luo Xue Yan who was riding along with the wedding procession secretly turned her head and said to Shen Xin, "Is this really good …"
Shen Xin said, "Since he dares to send, we dare to accept. Moreover he sent 99 sets and our residence cannot afford so much dowry. If it is less, others would laugh at us. "
Luo Xue Yan did not speak anymore.
Out of the 50 sets of Shen Miao's dowry, 20 sets were from Prince Rui. On that day when Prince Rui came over to send the dowry, a piece of paper fell out from the dowry box. Luo Xue Yan saw clearly that it was the list of Shen Miao's dowry.
Prince Rui also knew that his betrothal gifts were too shocking and the Shen family would definitely not be able to afford a matching dowry, so he simply settled the dowry himself. Even though there were only 20 sets, these 20 sets were firmly filled to the brim. In other words, Prince Rui had given the Shen family one hundred and nineteen sets of dowry.
It was because of this that Shen Qiu's impression of Prince Rui became better. After all, the other party was not stingy with spending money on Shen Miao's marriage and was a very straightforward person.
The streets were filled with gongs and drums beating in joy. Fu Xiu Yi was mixed in the crowd but did not continue to follow. He only felt that this scene was very eye-catching and his face was cold as he turned his back to the sedan chair and left.
Naturally Emperor Wen Hui was the same as him. Emperor Wen Hui had long heard from his subordinates that Prince Rui's marriage was grand and was even more glorious than him, the Emperor. This was like slapping his face. The more glorious Prince Rui was, the more the Ming Qi's Imperial family looked like a cold cicada.
Of course the thing that made Emperor Wen Hui the most unhappy was not this but that he was originally unwilling to this marriage. If it was not for Prince Rui using the few cities at the border to threaten him, he would not have made this move. He was obviously not willing for Shen Miao's marriage but he still had to write an Imperial edict to Prince Rui. The Shen family's good chess piece was wasted just like that.
As long as Emperor Wen Hui mentioned that Prince Rui was getting married today, the scene of Prince Rui threatening him in the Imperial Study to bestow marriage would appear in his mind. His chest would be stuffy and he would not take the initiative to find trouble for himself. He then let the eunuchs in the Palace receive the wedding gifts that Prince Rui sent over and closed the Palace doors tightly. He then returned to Yang Xin Hall to lie down and did not allow anyone to disturb him.
This marriage had to be done in Ming Qi and the bridal sedan had to be carried around the Ding capital, but marriage was a matter of both parties. Prince Rui's family was in the Great Liang and originally after the bridal sedan bypassed the city gates, it was to leave the city but Prince Rui insisted on completing all the formalities in the Ding capital.
Thus the ritual of greeting one's parents was held at the altar in the Ding capital.
The altar in the Ding capital was a place that the Emperor would use when he appointed the Empress. Needless to say, this was an additional reward that Prince Rui requested from Emperor Wen Hui. No matter how unwilling Emperor Wen Hui was, he could only agree.
On the altar, Mei Niangzi carefully helped Shen Miao down from the bridal sedan and Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin who followed along sat at the other end of the altar.
Bow to Heaven and Earth, bow to one's parents and bow to one another as husband and wife.
This was Ming Qi so naturally Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin accepted Shen Miao's bow but Prince Rui's Imperial Father and Empress Mother had already passed away for many years. Both of them could only sprinkle wine on the ground as a form of worship.
Finally the husband and wife bowed to one another and the ceremony was completed. Since the matter had reached this point, it was announced that from now onwards, Shen Miao was Prince Rui's Consort. Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. She was after all a Great Liang person.
In the midst of everyone's cheers and laughter, far away from the crowd, Ji Yu Shu was talking to the people beside him.
"Ah, really did not expect that Third Older Brother would really marry Shen Young Lady." He sighed, "Two years ago I could see that Third Older Brother treated Fifth Shen Young Lady differently but did not expect that she would become my Sister-in-law. But it is also quite good. I initially thought that with Third Older Brother's temper, ordinary young ladies would not be able to handle it but Fifth Shen Young Lady is different. With her around, I am assured. "
