I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times - Chapter 487

Chapter 487 Adding makeup

 The queen passed away, and the prince should have observed mourning for three years.

But Ning Chuyi was not born to the Queen, and the Emperor did not forget that it was precisely because of the Queen’s and Concubine An’s calculations that Ning Chuchu misunderstood her and left Kyoto in despair.

The emperor did not ask Ning Chuyi to observe filial piety for three years. Instead, he changed the day to the month and held it for twenty-seven days before releasing it.

After the ceremony, the emperor issued another decree, instructing the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor to select a good and auspicious day to hold the wedding ceremony for the prince.

I don’t know if the emperor secretly issued any orders, but the auspicious day selected by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor is half a month later.

 Lingchu was very surprised when he learned about it.

Although she was mentally prepared to marry Ning Chuyi, she didn’t expect it to be so hasty.

After much thought, she still made an appointment with Ning Chuyi and wanted him to go to the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor to discuss changing the date to an auspicious day.

 But Ning Chuyi wanted to marry her back to his house immediately, so naturally he didn’t want to change the date.

Lingchu originally wanted to pick an auspicious day by herself, but she had no choice but to consider others and not herself, so she had to go to her master to find a way.

But Master Xuan Yi said that he had already calculated and the auspicious day selected by the Ministry of Rites and the Qin Tian Supervisor was the most suitable for her and Ning Chuyi.

Lingchu had no choice but to accept it in the end.

Although King Dingyuan and the princess were reluctant to let their daughter get married so soon, the imperial edict was issued, so they could only start planning for their daughter’s marriage.

Although the wedding date was set hastily, it was still the prince’s wedding.

 The Ministry of Rites knew that the emperor valued the prince, and did not dare to show any neglect. The Minister of Rites personally led his officials to prepare the three books and six rites, including receiving gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting taxes, and requesting dates. There should be many procedures.

 The Ministry of Rites was extremely busy, and everyone in the Dingyuan Palace was so busy that they hit the back of their heads with their feet.

 Since Princess Dingyuan recognized Ling Chu, she began to help her save her dowry. But she didn’t expect that her daughter would get married so soon, and the dowry she saved was far from enough.

 Fortunately, the Dingyuan Palace is not short of money, let alone people.

When her only daughter got married, Princess Dingyuan sent many people to buy various necessary items.

Princess Dingyuan’s natal family, Jiangxia Houfu, was naturally very happy to learn that her granddaughter was named a national counselor and was about to marry the prince. When the old lady saw that her granddaughter had not decided to get married yet, she took the initiative and chose part of the dowry she had saved for her granddaughter and had it sent to the Dingyuan Palace.

The old lady’s daughter-in-law is smart and knows that if her niece marries well and is favored in front of the prince, her daughter’s status will also rise with the tide, and she will not have to worry about marriage in the future.

Not only did she not stop the old lady, she also took the initiative to help Princess Dingyuan organize the wedding.

Mrs. Nan’an Hou, who was good friends with Princess Dingyuan, also helped find a lot of good things to add to Ling Chu’s makeup.

Although Prince Jing and Princess Jing regretted not marrying Lingchu for Prince Jing’s crown prince, they could not compete with the crown prince, so they still helped Princess Dingyuan a lot.

 The busy days pass by quickly, and in the blink of an eye it’s time to put on makeup.

Since Master Xuan Yi escorted the emperor back to the capital unharmed, the emperor not only gave him a house, but also rewarded him with many good things. Although Master Xuan Yi accepted them all, he did not value these vulgar things.

Although Ling Chu was nominally his disciple, Master Xuan Yi loved her as a daughter. Almost all the things that the emperor rewarded, Xuan Yi ordered people to load into the car.

Early in the morning, he sent his eldest disciple Ji Yuan to the Dingyuan Palace to give Ling Chu his makeup.

 Master and senior brother both sent things, and Qingfeng, as the third senior brother, was not far behind. He was the eldest son of Prince Rui’s palace, and he had no shortage of power and wealth. With a wave of his hand, he gave his junior sister a full ten carloads of gifts.

Even the second senior brother who was far away in Yaowang Valley sent something over, but what he sent was not gold and silver, but five carts of various precious medicinal materials.

Perhaps the emperor also knew that the wedding date was set too hastily and the Dingyuan Palace had no time to prepare a dowry for his daughter, so he asked Eunuch An to prepare a lot of silk and satin jewelry and give them to the Dingyuan Palace as a supplement to the crown princess’s makeup.

Seeing that the emperor had given so many things, the concubines in the harem did not express their gratitude. They prepared gifts one after another and asked the stewards in their respective palaces to send them to the Dingyuan Palace.

Lingchu grew up in Xuanqingguan since he was a child, and he didn’t receive any handkerchiefs after returning to Beijing.

However, King Dingyuan was favored by the emperor and his power was at its peak. Now there was a princess who was also a national counselor. All the officials in the capital wanted to make friends with Prince Dingyuan.

It’s just that in the past, King Dingyuan didn’t want to make the emperor jealous, so he didn’t make friends with courtiers on a large scale, so those officials who were interested in making money couldn’t find opportunities to make friends. Nowadays, Prince Dingyuan is marrying off his daughter and is holding a grand banquet. No one wants to miss such a good opportunity.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to add makeup, the ladies of each palace asked their daughters to prepare gifts and go to Dingyuan Prince’s Mansion to add makeup.

 At the beginning, Ling Chu could still smile dignifiedly and gracefully when facing the ladies and ladies from various houses in Beijing. But as more and more people came, she secretly complained in her heart.

She never thought that it would be so difficult to keep a smile on her face, but these people were all here to add makeup to her. It was always hard for her to show off to others. Even if she was tired, she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

When dusk fell and the guests who came to add makeup dispersed, the two east and west wings of the courtyard where Ling Chu lived and the three warehouses of the palace were filled with all kinds of gifts. And her face had become stiff with smiles all day long.

 At the Summer Solstice, the maids were happy but also distressed at the same time.

Seeing the guest leave, he immediately brought hot water to soak the handkerchief and help Ling Chu apply it on his face. When the stiff cheeks relaxed, Ling Chu was too tired to move.

 Having a hasty meal, she washed up and prepared to go to bed. Unexpectedly, Ning Chuyi had someone bring her something at this time.

 After the concierge brought it over, he handed it over to the maid in the inner courtyard.

When the maid brought it in, Ling Chu realized that what Ning Chuyi had given her was a five-layer dowry. She couldn’t help being surprised when she saw that the two maids were struggling to lift it.

 This is something given to her, it looks quite heavy.

Out of curiosity, Ling Chu opened the dowry.

 When he saw the things placed on the first floor, Ling Chu’s eyes suddenly widened.

Ning Chuyi actually gave her a jade Ruyi.

 Originally, she would not have been so surprised to see Yu Ruyi Lingchu, but Ning Chuyi gave her more than one handful.

 But a full six handfuls.

Each one has a different shape. The jade quality is delicate, crystal clear, and emerald green.

 You can tell at a glance that it is carved from the best jade.

Lingchu took a deep breath and slowly opened the lower two floors.

As expected, it was filled with all kinds of hairpins, jade pendants, bracelets, forbidden steps, pendants, jade hairpins, step shakes…it was full of them, all made of jade.

 And they are all rare and good things.

　　It can be seen that Ning Chuyi put a lot of thought into it, and I don’t know where he got it from.

But these things were sent to Ling Chu’s heart.

Her system is an out-and-out gold-eating beast, and no amount of emeralds and jade can be enough for it to absorb.

 It’s just that these were given by Ning Chuyi, and she didn’t plan to give them to the system unless it was absolutely necessary.

 After playing with it for a while, Ling Chu asked the maid to put away the dowry.

Ning Chuyi was currently in the prince’s residence, practicing his sword while imagining Ling Chu’s reaction after receiving the gift. In fact, he wanted to deliver the things to her in person, but unfortunately the man and woman could not see each other before they got married, so he could only bear to miss her.

But when she thought that tomorrow was her wedding day, Ning Chuyi’s lips filled with a smile.
