"Princess, please go out and take a look. My uncle has sent people to deliver a lot of things. Everyone in our mansion has passed by."
Princess Wenqing was Gao Shaoyi's maiden daughter-in-law. Ever since she got engaged to Gao Shaoyi, she had been laughed at by people in the palace so many times.
Of course, now this ridicule has turned into envy.
It turns out that Gao Shaoyi is the number one dandy in the capital. The Marquis Palace is almost gone. Who would want to marry such a person?
But now he has become the commander-in-chief of the suppressive army, and has been promoted from the third-class marquis to the first-class marquis. Among the younger generation of nobles, he is also ranked first. The most important thing is that he has money and people.
Princess Wenqing had met her husband, whom she had never met before, at a royal banquet in the early years. At that time, Gao Shaoyi was so ridiculous that he even teased her in public. If not for the emperor's protection, he would have been killed long ago.
Grandpa was taken out and beaten.
She is the eldest granddaughter of Prince Kang's palace. She is said to be the first woman of her generation. People who want to marry her have been queuing up for an unknown length of time. I really don't understand why my grandfather would marry me to him.
.
Is it really because my father is not as good as my second uncle?
The eldest son of Prince Kang's Mansion is the father of Princess Wenqing, and is also the eldest son and grandson of the entire Prince's Mansion. According to the rules of the imperial court, he will naturally inherit the entire Prince Kang's Mansion in the future.
But his father also had an ambitious younger brother, the uncle of Princess Wenqing. In recent years, Prince Kang always brought the second young master of Prince Kang's palace with him when he came in and out of the court, and there were vague signs that he wanted to suppress the prince's son.
Therefore, there is a saying in the palace that Lao Wang does not like his eldest son, so he wants to train his younger son, but he cannot go beyond the ancestral system, so he will allocate some of the eldest son's children.
If the two brothers fight for the throne in the future, the eldest son will not have much help.
Princess Wenqing also had an older brother. A few years ago, it was Prince Kang who made the decision. He married the daughter of a minor official and was basically powerless.
Now that he is here again, is grandpa really so cruel?
"Report to the princess, my aunt sent a gift list from Haicheng."
The second housekeeper of the palace said respectfully outside that in the past, the housekeepers in the palace were very proud to speak to the people in the first house. After all, the people in the first house only occupied one position and did not have much strength in their hands.
Have you changed your temper today? All of these royal housekeepers are used by Prince Kang. Even facing these princes and grandsons, they are very arrogant.
"Aren't all the gifts in the mansion kept by the public? Why are you sending one to me today?"
Princess Wenqing said with some confusion.
According to the rules of a wealthy family, all the gifts sent to the palace belong directly to the palace. Every time you register, you just need to take another test. This time, they went beyond the rules and sent them to the princess.
"Back to the princess, this gift is divided into two parts. One part is naturally for the palace, and the other part is specially marked as for the young lady, so I sent someone to deliver it to the courtyard here."
The second housekeeper has never been so careful when speaking. The reason why he is like this today is of course related to Gao Shaoyi's power.
Our eldest lady is not a prominent person in the palace, but after she is about to marry the commander-in-chief of the Suppression Army, she will become a number one person in the whole country.
In just a short time, our eldest uncle has gone from an idle young man to the governor of Zhili. Who can imagine what position he will be promoted to in the future?
Princess Wenqing asked the maid to take over the gift list. There was a lot written on it. There were more than a dozen people outside the door carrying these things. Every item was exquisite to the extreme.
"Miss, you see these are all interesting things. Take this chiming clock as an example. It is all made of gold and shipped from the Windsor Empire. My slaves have heard about it. It is one size smaller than ours.
They all sell for 600 silver coins, but we can still get more than 1,000 silver coins no matter what."
The second housekeeper saw that Princess Wenqing was very interested in a chiming clock and quickly approached from the side.
"Do you know what grandpa meant by asking him to come?"
Princess Wenqing has a relatively cold temperament, so even when she saw so many belongings, she didn't feel any disturbance in her heart.
"I thought we were discussing the wedding. After all, it's only been a few days. Our uncle is busy with affairs, and things in Haicheng cannot be separated from our uncle. You don't know how busy the Marquis's Mansion is over there. People are queuing up at the door every day.
There are hundreds of people. Fortunately, our Prince Kang's Mansion's signboard works, otherwise it would not be so easy to squeeze in."
The second housekeeper remembered that when he sent greeting cards in the past, he had been busy for a long time. Although the sign of Prince Kang's Mansion was effective, the most effective sign was the sign of in-laws.
None of the nobles in the capital are vegetarians. If Prince Kang's Mansion was not Gao Shaoyi's old Yue family, he would probably have to queue up at the door.
"Grandpa is too partial. If he had such a good opportunity, he would give it to the eldest sister. Aren't we all close friends?"
Several other ladies from Prince Kang's Mansion also came from behind. After seeing the gifts all over the floor, they all started to feel sour.
Although Miss Wangfu has grown up among treasures since she was a child, these things here also dazzled them.
"Isn't it right for the second sister to say that? When I was given the marriage, who came to me and ridiculed me for a long time?"
Princess Wenqing's eyes immediately turned cold when she saw her two cousins. These two cousins were from her second uncle's family. Since their marriage to Gao Shaoyi was confirmed, these two people came here almost every day to make sarcastic remarks.
.
"Why do eldest sisters say such things? You are an elder sister and cannot be on the same level as us. If you live in the capital in the future, you will have to ask your eldest brother-in-law for help."
The second young lady of the palace has also made an appointment. Although she is also a noble descendant of the capital, and she was a talented person before, compared with the current Gao Shaoyi, she is really in the sky.
"Sister, look, there are so many watches in this box. Can you let the sisters pick one?"
Seeing that Princess Wenning didn't say anything, the second young lady's eyes began to be filled with tears.
"Put the things away and put them in the warehouse."
Although Princess Wenqing usually seemed to have no temper, she didn't have a good face when faced with these two cousins who had done things. After saying a few words, she returned to her room.
No matter what Gao Shaoyi was like before, now he has a face for himself...??
