Mrs. Li handed Tang Jiangxian a box: "You also know the situation at home. You were tricked by Tang Miaoxin into taking away one hundred thousand taels."
"Although your second brother came back with some money, the family's expenses are also high. On my birthday, there was a thief in the house..."
Tang Jiangxian was not in the mood to listen to her chattering here, so he reached out and took the box in her hand and saw that there were only 20,000 taels of silver notes and some jewelry, which totaled less than 30,000 taels.
Tang Jiangxian's face suddenly turned dark: "That's it? Didn't the second brother send someone to bring back the money yesterday?"
I'm afraid that this amount of money won't meet Ning Zhiyuan's requirements at all. When the time comes, she will be looked down upon by him and her life will be very sad.
As soon as Mrs. Li heard this, she started to scold again: "A bastard is just a bastard, and he has no sense of the overall situation!"
"The day he left, he promised to prepare a thick dowry for you, and he sent someone back last night with a thousand taels of silver."
"What can a thousand taels of silver do? I will take care of him when he comes back!"
Tangjiangxian originally thought that the Marquis of Wanhu could collect 60,000 to 70,000 taels of silver, and with this amount of money, she could coax Ning Zhiyuan.
We only have this little money now, and there is no way to coax him!
She knew Ning Zhiyuan's reality and felt a little worried.
She said coldly: "What's the use of talking about this now? I promised you before that I would get married with a dowry of one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"Now that's it, what will the prince think of me?"
Mrs. Li always loved her, and this time, in order to collect a dowry for her, it could be said that she even took out everything from the bottom of the box.
Mrs. Li also had her dissatisfaction: "The prince also said that he would marry you as his main concubine, but you ended up becoming a side concubine!"
"It's already great that we can prepare so much dowry!"
When Tang Jiangxian thought about this, his hands clenched into fists again.
She originally thought that she, Gao Tang, had a brilliant mind and would become a high-ranking crown princess.
But now she has not only become a concubine, but even the dowry is not as large as Tang Miaoxin's original one!
She said coldly: "I don't care what method you use, you must collect fifty thousand taels of silver, otherwise I won't get married today!"
Mrs. Li looked embarrassed.
Wan Huhou came in and gave Tangjiang Xian 20,000 taels of silver and some land deeds: "You take these with you first, and I will make up for them when your second brother comes back."
Tang Jiangxian knew that this was indeed all the property of Wanhu Houfu now, and she could not make more trouble even if she made more trouble.
Even if she was still holding her breath, she could only endure it.
She told herself that after she married Ning Zhiyuan, he would not be able to marry his wife. From now on, she would become his only favorite and make him devoted to her!
When she thought about it, she felt a lot more comfortable, straightened her back and got into the wedding sedan.
Ning Zhiyuan has always been extremely favored by Emperor Cheng Ming. When Ning Guzhou married Tang Miaoxin, he did not attend the wedding. Ning Zhiyuan accepted a concubine, but Emperor Cheng Ming came instead.
Because of this, the ministers in the court felt that Ning Zhiyuan's position as crown prince was as secure as Mount Tai and no one could shake it.
When the second prince heard the ministers singing all kinds of praises to Ning Zhiyuan, he sneered, his eyes full of viciousness.
Ever since the last mining incident and the burning of his palace, the conflict between him and Ning Zhiyuan reached its peak.
Because he knew that he would definitely be the first person to be killed after Ning Zhiyuan ascended the throne, so he would not let Ning Zhiyuan ascend the throne under any circumstances!
When Ning Guzhou and Tang Miaoxin came in, the steward of the Prince's Mansion only sang their names and ignored them.
When the ministers in the court heard their names, no one even looked at them.
Ning Guzhou and Tang Miaoxin didn't take it seriously and went to pay homage to Emperor Cheng Ming and the Queen, only to find that Cheng Lixue was here today.
Emperor Chengming seemed to be in a good mood today and asked Cheng Lixue: "I heard that you accepted Princess Qin as a closed disciple. How is her recent studies?"
Cheng Lixue glanced at Tang Miaoxin, she had single-handedly disturbed the Imperial College and he wished he could kick her out of the Imperial College!
Tang Miaoxin was afraid that he would say bad things about her and cause her trouble, so she rushed ahead of him and said: "I accept the teachings of the mountain chief every day and work very hard to learn all kinds of knowledge."
"If I don't learn well, it's because the mountain leader has reservations."
Cheng Lixue: "..."
She really dared to say it!
Emperor Cheng Ming laughed, turned to Cheng Lixue and said: "My daughter-in-law grew up in the countryside. Although her rules are a bit bad, she is better than her cleverness."
"You should put more effort into educating her in the future so that she won't discredit you in the future."
Cheng Lixue smiled: "Your Majesty is right, Princess Qin is smart and studious, and she is a rare good prospect."
Such words against his will made his lungs hurt!
The thing he regretted most in his life was accepting her as his disciple, bar none!
Tang Miaoxin also smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Master Shan, for the compliment. I will definitely study harder in the future."
If given the chance, she would also like to tear down the walls of the Imperial College and pull out Cheng Lixue's beard.
Cheng Lixue laughed "haha", only those who believe in her are ghosts!
Emperor Chengming nodded with great satisfaction: "You do look much more stable than before. This is all the result of Li Xue."
"I don't expect you to become a great figure in the literary world. I only hope that you will be sensible and take good care of King Qin."
Before Tang Miaoxin could say anything, Ning Changping ran over and said, "Father, my sister-in-law is very kind to my brother. She goes to warm his bed every night!"
Everyone: "..."
Tang Miaoxin: "..."
How come this heartless guy dares to say anything!
The corner of Ning Guzhou's mouth twitched and he glanced at Tang Miaoxin, seeing that her face was glowing with a light pink color and she was extremely cute.
The frost in his eyes faded a lot unconsciously.
Emperor Cheng Ming saw Ning Guzhou's change, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the emotions in his eyes were completely hidden.
The queen suppressed a smile and said: "Changping, behave yourself and stop talking nonsense!"
Ning Changping had been punished by the empress many times and was a little afraid of her, but today Emperor Cheng Ming was here, and she felt bold again.
Ning Changping said innocently: "Changping is not talking nonsense, what Changping said is true!"
"Since my sister-in-law married my brother, my brother's health has improved greatly. Chang Ping feels that this is because my sister-in-law warms the bed."
Tang Miaoxin: "..."
This reason is really a good one, she kneels in submission!
There was laughter all around, and Miaoxin, who was as thick-skinned as Tang, felt extremely embarrassed at this time.
Ning Guzhou gently held her hand and said, "I also think you have done an excellent job, and I am extremely prosperous."
Emperor Chengming only had one daughter, Ning Changping, and he loved her very much.
At this time, even if what she said was a bit silly, he would not be angry. He would only ask: "Where did you learn the word "warm bed"?
Ning Changping said innocently: "Last time I heard from the prince's brother, he said that after he took in the concubine, there was another bed-warming woman in the palace."
Emperor Chengming's eyes darkened slightly, and the queen was extremely unhappy, but her face was full of smiles and she said: "This kid Changping is still so innocent and charming."
