The third princess was surprised when she saw Bai Ling. After all, she didn't send anyone to invite Bai Ling.
But after thinking about it, the third prince and concubine knew why Bai Ling appeared here.
"What's wrong with the princess and the general?" the third prince asked in a routine manner without paying much attention.
"The third prince's body will be almost ready to conceive in a year. The third prince happens to be in some condition, and he may not be interested in women within a year. However, this will give the third prince a chance to give birth to his legitimate son." Bai
Ling did not answer directly. Instead, he checked the third prince's pulse before speaking.
"Princess, you might as well speak frankly about what you want me to do." The third prince was surprised, then understood what Bai Ling meant, and asked after thinking for a moment.
Now Bai Ling has no shortage of money, and jewelry doesn't seem to be his favorite. The third prince's concubine is not sure what Bai Ling wants to get from her.
"The Third Princess hasn't gone out for a while, has she? I happen to have a few things to buy. I wonder if the Third Princess would like to accompany her?" Bai Ling asked with a slight smile.
"The princess is afraid that she will not be able to leave the third prince's mansion?" the third prince's concubine asked, but she was thinking about the gains and losses in her heart.
If Bai Ling leaves safely, the third prince will definitely be unhappy. When the time comes...
"Aren't you curious, Third Princess, how I came to your courtyard?" Bai Ling still smiled slightly.
With just one sentence, Bai Ling made the third prince and concubine make a decision.
Bai Ling had to leave, so why not give Bai Ling a favor? If the third prince was unhappy, he would have a reason to block it.
The third prince's original intention was to make a living, and when the time came, Bai Ling had no other choice but to marry him, so he naturally made arrangements.
But this was not fair and honest, so when Bai Ling left, most of the servants didn't know what was going on and didn't stop him.
In addition, there are three princes and concubines escorting him, so as long as he is not stupid, he will not mess up.
The third princess originally thought Bai Ling was just talking, but she didn't expect Bai Ling to actually visit several shops, including the princess's dowry shop.
After buying a lot of good things, Bai Lingcai said goodbye to the third prince and concubine and went to the Han Dynasty Palace.
Since the engagement date was agreed upon, Bai Ling has not been to the Han Palace yet, so the Han Princess warmly welcomed her.
"You're here just in time. Come with me to the warehouse to see if the betrothal gift is enough."
When Princess Han saw Bai Ling and didn't wait for her to salute, she took Bai Ling to the warehouse and never stopped talking all the way.
"These things have been prepared since Ziyuan was born. There are treasures collected by the Han Palace and some given by Ziyuan's aunt. After preparing for so many years, I added some to my dowry. They are valuable enough.
I just don’t know if you like it or not.”
Bai Ling was embarrassed and silent. He didn't value these things, but he didn't want to undermine Princess Han's sincerity.
The entire contents of the three warehouses were used as betrothal gifts.
From rare calligraphy and paintings, antiques, to silks and satins, all kinds of ornaments are available.
Even though Bai Ling had a lot of good things, he couldn't help but sigh, unable to estimate the value of these things.
"The amount of the betrothal gift is a bit large. If we put it in the box, we will probably have to hire two bodyguards to escort it," Princess Han said.
"The betrothal gift is just a formality. What the princess has prepared is too much and too expensive. Moreover, our home is in the countryside, so it is not convenient to send it there. It is better to reduce the betrothal gift in half. Then send the fragile things to the White House in the capital as a symbol of
It's enough to send some of them to the countryside." Bai Ling said.
The situation in the Han Palace is special. I'm afraid the royal family will have second thoughts after seeing these things.
"The Prince of Han's Palace has only a child like Ziyuan, so the betrothal gift is indispensable. Even if the entire Prince of Han's Palace is used as a betrothal gift, it is appropriate. But what you said makes sense. Those porcelains are not easy to keep. The Bai family has a mansion in the capital.
Your brother will also be an official in the future, so you might as well keep some here."
Princess Han thought for a while and agreed with Bai Ling's words.
"Zi Yuan also prepared a copy in Zixiao City, and I guess it will be sent to your home. It is really not appropriate to take all these."
Bai Ling felt warm in her heart, because Princess Han didn't put on airs, and because of Shangguan Yu's sincerity.
"My family has said that our sisters' betrothal gifts will be included in the dowry. So we really don't need to prepare too many betrothal gifts, and it's quite tiring to go back and forth." No matter how thick-skinned Bai Ling was, he still felt shy when discussing this topic with Princess Han.
fever.
"Then how can it be the same? The betrothal gift is the man's respect for the woman. The more the betrothal gift, the less people will gossip about you in the future. Only those who envy you will understand how satisfied the Han Palace is with you as their daughter-in-law.
As for the dowry, it is your parents' love for you. No matter how much they give you, we will not care. You will have to keep it yourself in the future, which will give you more confidence."
Holding Bai Ling's hand, the more Princess Han talked, the more she felt that the betrothal gift was not enough.
"You are also a good businessman. I still have a lot of shops in my dowry. I will add a few more to the betrothal gift list for you later. Although the Han Palace is a big business, there are many places where money can be used. In the future, you and your wife
When Yuan Yuan gets married, you will be given the responsibility to take care of the family's financial affairs, especially those profitable shops and banks. You can't push it away..."
Princess Han nagged a lot more, and she was like her own mother, thinking about Bai Ling in everything.
Bai Ling actually regretted coming here, as if he was here to ask for a betrothal gift.
However, Princess Han's sincerity made Bai Ling unable to say no.
Be it a betrothal gift or a dowry, Bai Ling didn't plan to hold it in his hands when he married into the Han Dynasty palace, so he didn't need to worry too much about it.
Bai Ling escaped from the Han Palace again. The Han Princess was too enthusiastic and started talking about having children after marriage. She even wanted Bai Ling to have more children to make the Han Palace more popular.
On the way back to the mansion, Bai Ling asked people to closely observe the movements of the third prince's mansion.
The third prince would definitely be furious if he was plotted against.
Bai Ling, who was plotted against, would naturally not let the third prince go so easily. Being inhumane for one year was a small punishment but a big warning. The ultimate goal was to find out where the third prince was training his manpower and then destroy the base.
Bai Ling's men are useful, but if he wants to enter the prince's mansion to detect information, he still has to rely on the secret guards left by Shangguan Yu.
As for Shangguan Yu finding out about this matter, there was nothing he could do about it, and Bai Ling had no intention of hiding it.
His own woman was almost bullied. It would be unreasonable for Shangguan Yu not to teach the beast a lesson.
"Second girl, someone from the Han Palace sent a list. They said that they had discussed with you and divided the betrothal gift into two batches. One batch will be sent directly to our house, and the other batch will be sent to the Bai Mansion. I will show it to grandma.
Passed by. These things are very valuable. Do you think you should leave someone here to take care of them?
These things will be put in your dowry later, but in comparison, the things our family prepares for you are not enough to see. Although the princess is kind, if your dowry is thin, how will she look on your face in the future?
manage?"
Bai Ling went to look around the shop before returning home. She had thought that as soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Bai Liu pulled her and said a lot of words.
Princess Han moved quickly, and she had no other intention, but it made Bai Liu worried. (To be continued)
