The fourth step is to witness the gift. Guests must either say they are present or witness it, and they must leave something to prove it. Of course, the gift only needs to be given to one family, and both men and women can do it.Ww W．

Ding Kui was definitely not happy at this stage. Ninety percent of the gifts were handed over to the head chamberlain, and few of them were received by him personally. There was no way, everyone was doing it for the king's sake.
Come on, when Ding Kui married Long Yan, there were not many dukes.
The fifth step is the palace ball. Of course, the happy news of the engagement must be shared. If single young people can take this opportunity to find a suitable partner, everyone will naturally be happy.
The first dance for everyone is undoubtedly today's protagonists, the eldest princess and Ding Kui. The two finally have the opportunity to communicate up close.
"Your Highness, are you feeling better?" Ding Kui forced a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your trouble, my consort. I have always been in good health." Shao Dianluan's smile was a little unnatural.
"Hua Nuan, Hua Nuan, why didn't I think of Shaodian Luan at the beginning?" As he spoke, Ding Kui put a little force on his hand and hugged the eldest princess tighter.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Shao Dianluan's eyes were a little flustered.
"Don't understand? Then you must not admit that you have met me. You have never been to the Protector's Mansion." Ding Kui said with a sneer.
"Of course I have seen the consort." Shaodian Luan suddenly showed a naughty smile.
"Hey, I finally admit it."
"Four years ago, I watched the match between the Consort and Kong Ren. You defeated Brother Kong Shi with 'Yue Shang'." Shao Diianluan put away his smile and became cold and arrogant, "Loose your hands a little, don't forget that this is
The royal palace.”
"You, you, okay, do you know a businessman named Hua? His family specializes in overseas business." Ding Kui suppressed his anger and changed his approach to insinuate.
"I just noticed that you were talking about Hua Nuan. I have heard of this person. His parents are engaged in overseas business. I helped pay off the huge debt they owed a while ago."
There is no abnormal color on the face.
Okay, you are denying it to death. When you used "Ping Mo Zhan", you should have guessed that you were the eldest princess. Those words you said on the carriage made me wake up. Otherwise, how could there be a Shaodian family?
The master knight follows and protects you? Since you love acting, I will accompany you to continue acting.
Ding Kui relaxed his grip and said, "Haha, that Hua Nuan was injured by poison gas due to my involvement last time, and then disappeared inexplicably. Does the princess know his whereabouts?"
"That's right. I don't care much about such little people. How can you recognize a man as me?" Shao Dianluan's tone was very dissatisfied.
"It's Meng Lang. Hua Nuan is much taller than you. I actually ignored such an obvious difference."
"What? Then, then, hum, does the consort think that I am short?" Shao Dianluan's nose was almost crooked with anger.
"Of course not. What I'm talking about is the comparison between you and Hua Nuan. It's normal for a man to be taller than you. How can I, um, dislike your figure?" Ding Kui said in a high-sounding tone.
"Okay," Shaodian Luan took a deep breath and glanced at Long Yan next to her, "Your concubine hasn't grown very tall either." She was very concerned about the topic of height.
"Yan'er's status is not as high as yours." Ding Kui deliberately rambled.
"My consort is accompanied by a beautiful concubine at such a young age. Those who don't know may think you are a lecher." The eldest princess is also a master who does not want to suffer.
"Haha, I don't care about ignorant people, as long as you know the truth of the matter. Then Hua Nuan promised to be my slave. I miss him so much when he is gone."
Ding Kui's endurance was far less than what Dian Luan imagined. It was almost impossible to tease him with words. On the other hand, it was easy for him to stimulate Shao Dian Luan.
"I have never heard that the Hua family has any intention of becoming a slave. Please don't deceive me with lies." Shao Dianluan showed a look of disdain.
"That's because you don't know. After Hua Nuan met me, he was completely impressed by my intelligence. He wished he could become a slave immediately because he was afraid that I wouldn't take him in." Ding Kui was not worried about confronting Hua Nuan on the spot. How could he exaggerate? How come.
"I didn't expect that the prince-in-law is a man who uses his words. I think Hua Nuan should be impressed by your shamelessness. Humph!"
At this time, the song just finished playing, Shao Dianluan struggled out of Ding Kui's embrace, turned around and left angrily.
Ding Kui felt several pairs of unkind eyes staring at him, so he quickly pretended to be innocent and returned to his seat dejectedly.
Long Yan noticed that the two of them were whispering while dancing, and when Ding Kui came back, she was about to ask, but a palace maid came and called her away.
During the dance, the concubine of the Prince Consort needed to serve tea to the princess. This session was not conducted publicly. After all, it was a private matter in the Prince Consort's backyard. Long Yan rushed to the capital just to serve that cup of tea.
After the dance, there was a luncheon. Since there were many guests, the banquet was held in the back garden. When Long Yan came back from serving tea, she followed Ding Kui and moved to the back garden.
"What did the eldest princess tell you?" Ding Kui asked before Long Yan could speak.
"She is very polite and humble, and she actually said that I am prettier than her." Long Yan was originally worried that the eldest princess would make things difficult for her, but now she feels relieved.
"You are both beautiful. There is no standard to distinguish who is more beautiful." Ding Kui quickly filled the hole he dug to avoid Long Yan suddenly asking him who is more beautiful than whom.
"Where is it? Her skin is as white and tender as cream. I can't help but want to touch it. By the way," Long Yan suddenly realized, "What did you two say when we were dancing just now? She looks very familiar."
"Well, it concerns the reputation of the eldest princess, and the matter has not been confirmed, and I don't want to lie to you, so I can't tell you what exactly I said. I can only say that it is insignificant to you." Ding Kui did not make it up. He lied to Long Yan, but he couldn't explicitly say that he suspected that the eldest princess was Hua Nuan.
"It's so complicated. Well, you don't have to tell me but you can't lie to me." Long Yan could accept Ding Kui's words.
"I'm not lying to you, sooner or later she will come into my house. You will know if you ask her in the future. There is no need for me to lie about this matter, and of course there is no need to lie about other things." Ding Kui's attitude towards Long Yan is pretty good. , very few nobles are so kind to their concubines.
A luncheon with the king can also be a place for political wrangling. During the engagement ceremony, you can't talk except for things that have been agreed upon by convention. There is no rule about what things can't be discussed. It just depends on whether you can bring the king into your agenda.
Xingguo Gong Fan Yu took the initiative in the topic, "The two latest new policies proposed by the Government Affairs Council are said to be created by the new prince-in-law. The veteran believes that the new prince-in-law can best answer the questions of the ministers in the DPRK. Why don't we take this opportunity to listen to the new prince-in-law? How to say."
Of course, Mr. Zhongzheng Si would not miss such an occasion. He could tell that Fan Yu's words were directed at him, "Haha, Mr. Fan is a little impatient. Today is a happy day for the new prince-in-law, how can he worry about some political matters?"
Besides, the ministers who have questions about the New Deal are not here today, so we cannot let the new prince-in-law answer part of the question today and answer part of it tomorrow. The Government Administration Council will consider arranging for the new prince-in-law to answer questions, but it will definitely not be today."
Shao Diandan knew that there were recent disagreements within the Government Affairs Council.
The new policy proposed by the Ministry of Finance encountered many objections, including from several other ministries. Fortunately, several other ministries also agreed, so the new policy could be submitted to the North Korean meeting for discussion. After many discussions at the North Korean meeting, the new policy has not been finally implemented.
, the most anxious person for this is none other than Finance Minister Fan Yang, Fan Yu is standing up for Fan Yang.
"Gu Yi feels that it is best not to talk about the New Deal today, but Duke Xing's proposal is worthy of reference by the Government Affairs Council." Shao Diandan's statement was impartial.
He did not support Duke Xingguo's proposal, but he approved of Duke Xingguo's ideas; he saved face for the seats in the Government Affairs Council, and at the same time made demands on Zisi.
"Actually, the Senate has also discussed the New Deal many times, and we concluded that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." Yang Zhao's words were relatively brief, but he made clear the Senate's attitude and seized the right time to exert the Senate's influence.
Shao Dianzhang winked at his commanders one by one, hinting that they should not join in the discussion on this topic. The five commanders in the commander's office looked at me and I looked at you, and kept their mouths shut in a tacit understanding.
"Haha, of course Mr. Yang supports Mr. Fan, but the New Deal is a matter of the Government Affairs Council. Once problems arise, it will ultimately be resolved by the Government Affairs Council." Zisi was not willing to be outdone and faced the two elders alone. Although the Government Affairs Council was not harmonious, he believed that
The interior of the Presbytery is not monolithic either.
"If no one is jealous of the virtuous and capable, I believe that my son will be able to make suggestions for the country and solve problems for the king." Ding Qi finally couldn't help but join in the fight against Zisi.
"Today's focus is that the Protector Marquis and the King have become in-laws. The Ding family has once again become relatives of the royal family. The new prince-in-law should avoid talking about state affairs in both public and private matters, otherwise some people will misunderstand that the new prince-in-law is arrogant."
Zi Si has been standing in the political arena of Shaodian Kingdom for more than forty years and has served two generations of kings. No one can easily get an advantage from him.
Shao Diandan saw that something was wrong, and was afraid that if he continued talking, it would turn into a war of mutual criticism, so he hurriedly came forward and said: "We won't talk about state affairs today. Finally, something happy happened in the palace. You should also let me rest and be happy.
.Come, come, let me have a drink with you all."
The king personally toasted, and everyone quickly stood up with their glasses in hand, congratulating the king a few words before drinking it down.
Ding Kui had just finished his glass of wine, but before he put the glass down, Shao Diandan came over and grabbed his arm.
"I will respect the guests together with you." Shao Diandan said while dragging Ding Kui to the next table.
It is common for the father-in-law to bring his son-in-law to toast, which means that the father-in-law likes the son-in-law very much and wants to show off to the guests.
Ding Kui can only be a puppet on strings, at the mercy of Shaodian Dan.
