814 Betrothal Gift (3)
“Lands and shops are not included in the list because they are all in the Daliang Dynasty.” Tie Yi smiled sincerely. “However, His Highness converted them all into gold, which is 10,000 catties of gold.”
Ten thousand catties of gold!
Luo Tan was about to faint.
Tie Yi continued, “All the houses between Prince Rui’s mansion and the Shen mansion are purchased by Prince Rui. I’ll get someone to send the title deeds over later.” He respectfully handed the betrothal gift list to Luo Xueyan and said, “Madam, please take it.”
Luo Xueyan did not take it.
Did Prince Rui really move the treasury of the Daliang Dynasty over?
Was Prince Rui crazy?!
Shen Xin frowned. Shen Qiu was the first to react. He carefully probed, “Does your emperor know about this betrothal gift list written by Prince Rui?”
Tie Yi was stunned for a moment before he said with a smile, “His Majesty doesn’t care much about worldly possessions. Moreover, it’s not a lot.”
Seeing that everyone in the Shen family was shocked, Tie Yi continued, “In the palace of the Daliang Dynasty, gold, silver, and pearls are everywhere like gravels.”
Everyone was in awe. It seemed that the Daliang Dynasty was indeed rich. Such a generous betrothal gift could instantly fill Ming Qi’s treasury. In their opinion, it was just like gravel. How rich!
Tie Yi continued, “But Madam Shen, don’t worry. His Highness will marry Miss Shen according to the royal etiquette of the Daliang Dynasty.”
Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin were gratified that Prince Rui was willing to marry Shen Miao according to the royal etiquette. They sighed. Shen Miao’s betrothal gift was almost comparable to that of the empress’s back then.
If an ordinary official married a wife, he had to make sure that the betrothal gift must not be more generous than the royal family’s. However, Prince Rui was not from Ming Qi, but from the Daliang Dynasty, so he naturally did not have to consider this. Even if it was more generous than the royal family’s, the royal family would not say anything. Shen Miao’s betrothal gift should be the most generous since the founding of Ming Qi.
Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan’s worries dissipated a lot. Now, the imperial edict could no longer be changed, and Shen Miao was destined to marry Prince Rui. Marrying out in a grand manner was at least the wish of many girls. Shen Miao would probably also be happy to see it.
At the thought of this, their hatred for Prince Rui dissipated a lot. Even their attitude towards the bearded man in front of them became much friendlier.
Luo Tan couldn’t help but ask, “Then when is the wedding? The imperial edict didn’t specify when.”
Tie Yi smiled and said, “The marriage contract has been prepared. After the new year, His Highness will return to the Daliang Dynasty. On the day they return to the Daliang Dynasty, he will hold a grand wedding to marry Miss Shen. He will pave the way with red carpet all the way to the gate of the capital of the Daliang Dynasty.
After completing all the etiquettes for the marriage in Ming Qi, he would officially announce to the people of the Daliang Dynasty that Shen Miao was Princess Consort Rui.
