"This is the betrothal gift list. Please take a look at it, sir and madam."
Following King Ding was the steward of the palace. It was inconvenient for Xu Lin to show up, and Yang Zhao was far away in the southwest, so he could only do this.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome."
Feng Hai and his wife originally thought it was just a formality, to reassure Emperor Qi, but they were afraid they wouldn't take the betrothal gift seriously.
Unexpectedly, when they saw the list, their expressions suddenly changed.
Looking at the thin betrothal gift list, they thought there wouldn't be much, but the densely packed small words on it made people salivate.
Although the characters are small, they are clear and powerful, and each one is round and sonorous.
Feng Hai raised his head and glanced at King Ding. Although his face was expressionless, there was a smile in his eyes.
He once saw the calligraphy of King Ding, so this gift list was written by him himself, so it is correct!
The pearls of the East China Sea are measured in dendrobium, the Qingyun brocade and Wanyue yarn from the south of the Yangtze River are worth thousands of gold each, and there are countless jadeite materials, gold, jade and tourmaline. There are some things that even Feng Hai has never heard of.
It seems that they are foreign things that came across the ocean, and Ding Wangdu is all listed among them.
Such a betrothal gift list is worth tens of millions of gold.
He couldn't help but wonder why King Ding was so rich?
He has been in charge of the treasury for many years, and he is also a man who has seen a lot of things in the world, but if we really talk about it, this betrothal gift list will take at least ten years of the treasury to compare with it.
I didn't know what to say for a while.
Mrs. Feng's face was also very good-looking. On the one hand, she was happy that the king was so generous, naturally because she cherished their daughter. But on the other hand, the dowry she had prepared with all her heart was less than 10% of the betrothal gift list, and it was too shabby to get it.
.
The expressions on their faces were clearly seen by the royal guards who were secretly monitoring them, but in their eyes, they looked like Prince Ding's shabby employment, which made the Feng family and his wife unhappy.
It's really a whole show.
"My lord...is interested."
"Master Feng, you are very polite. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Feng Hai originally wanted to keep him in the house for lunch, but he was so frightened by the betrothal gift list that he even forgot to say anything about keeping him.
In the end, King Ding found the steps to go down by himself.
"These boxes were given to me by my father when my mother-in-law was still alive. They are a bit heavy and may not be easy for the servants in the palace to carry. People in my palace can help transport them to the warehouse."
"Oh, thank you so much, Your Majesty. It's getting late. It's better for Your Majesty to stay and have a casual meal. We will all be a family in the future, and it's good to be familiar with each other."
Only then did Feng Hai realize what he was saying, and followed the words to leave King Ding in his mouth.
He must be happy in his heart, but he still has to put on a show on his face, and the housekeeper will also look at him. The father of the future princess left food, and it seemed bad not to eat it, so he spoke.
"Your Majesty, you haven't had a good appetite lately, and the dishes cooked by the chef in the palace are always not to your liking. Why don't you try the Feng family's food? If you like it, I can ask the cooks and go back so they can improve it."
"In that case, just stay."
It's obviously a simple meal, but it has to be so complicated.
However, Xiao Tingyi finally stayed as he wished. As for the people, they were naturally covered up and had already secretly infiltrated Chen Cang into Ning'an Courtyard.
Obviously he comes back to see Feng Jinyao every day, but every time they meet, he always feels like he is a world away.
"The prince's betrothal gift is too expensive, and I deserve it."
"Don't worry, accept it. It's not only prepared by me, but also by my father, my mother, my concubine, and my grandfather. Especially my grandfather, who has been looking forward to marrying me for many years, so of course the gifts are getting richer and thicker."
Feng Jinyao was silent, no wonder, so many people prepared it together, how could it not be thick?
However, Xiao Tingyi suddenly spoke.
"Where do you keep the gift that this king gave you?"
Feng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and then remembered.
At that time, she was extremely afraid of Prince Ding, so how could she dare to accept gifts so easily.
It's just that she didn't have time to see the things that happened one after another, and kept them in the dark room.
Taking out the brocade box from the hidden compartment, Feng Jinyao glanced at Xiao Tingyi.
There was hope in Xiao Tingyi's eyes, and Feng Jinyao was a little suspicious. She opened the brocade box and took a look. There was a dark square seal lying quietly inside. It was not big, but the quality of jade was very rare.
It is said to be black jade, but it looks darker and harder. It is said to be black stone, and its gloss is extremely good.
Taking out Fang Yin, Feng Jinyao glanced at Xiao Tingyi strangely.
He didn't say anything, and before leading her to the desk, he didn't even use ink pad and pressed directly on the rice paper.
The four words "Prince Ding's Private Seal", as black as iron and with some gold, appeared on the paper.
Feng Jinyao was shocked. Although she had never seen it before, she knew the importance of private seals!
"My lord, what are you..."
"Seeing this seal is like seeing this king. Not only everyone in the palace, but also the secret guards and King Ding's army also obey the orders. Ayao, as early as when you were in Jiu, this king regarded you as his wife.
This life will last forever."
When she heard this, Feng Jinyao was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
This was hundreds of times more valuable than the tens of millions of gold betrothal gift. This was entrusting everything he had to himself.
Feng Jinyao didn't know what to say or do to live up to this deep trust and friendship.
Compared with King Ding, what she paid was really too little.
At least the level of trust is incomparable.
She felt a little guilty.
Xiao Tingyi didn't know that she had some hidden secrets, but he never wanted to find out. If Feng Jinyao was willing, she would naturally share them with him, but if she wasn't willing, he would blaspheme this relationship by investigating in private.
He doesn't want to.
"You don't have to bear any burden. This is all of my own free will. Ayao, if you are willing to be honest, I will be happy. But if you want to hide some secrets, I will not pursue them. You just need to
Just live happily, and I will protect you in this life and the next life."
Feng Jinyao couldn't bear these words anymore and threw herself into his arms, speechless and choked.
After a while, her mood gradually subsided.
I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and felt a little shy looking at the dizzy water stain on his chest.
The secret of rebirth was almost blurted out, but what was the use of these strange and confusing words?
Rather than dwell on these illusory pasts, it is better to live the next days down-to-earth.
"What I am most grateful to God for is allowing me to meet the prince. Everything in the past has been in vain. I only hope that I will remain determined to stay with you forever."
After receiving Feng Jinyao's answer, the missing corner in Prince Ding's heart was finally fulfilled.
The two hugged each other and looked at the pomegranate tree outside the window together, as if they had seen the future, with luxuriant branches and luxuriant descendants.
