Chapter 3648: The Prince's Wedding (Part 1)

quid state.Then, they stuffed firewood into the stove and heated up the pot.>Pick up the loti bread and dip it in some sesame oil, then quickly brush around the bottom of the pot to ensure that it doe...Yang Ruqing really liked this small copper furnace. She held it tightly in her hands, and his big hand clasped hers tightly as well.

Warm and comforting, spreading from hand to hand, warming both hearts.

"The gift was prepared according to the list provided by Wan Qingchun, but I made some modifications. When it comes to gifting based on rank, even though you are a powerful Protector General of the Country, it's best to follow the specifications for a lord's gift."

"Even royalty and nobility have different levels of formality. We shouldn't overstep our bounds, or it will be awkward later on. It's best to stick to the proper etiquette."

Yang Ruqing whispered to Luofengtang about the gift matter.

Luo Fengtang listened attentively and then nodded, praising, "Whatever my wife has prepared is sure to be perfect."

Yang Ruqing smiled. This guy, no matter what time it was or what she did, always liked to praise her.

She's the type who responds better to praise than criticism. The more you compliment her, the more motivated she becomes and the harder she tries to do well.

A good wife is praised, and a good husband is also praised. A marriage is a matter of fate. Have less complaints and more praise. If he is confident, you will be happy too, why not do it

"Qing'er, when we get to the Prince's Manor later, we will definitely be like last time during the Mid-Autumn Festival when we entered the palace – men and women guests will be entertained separately, then seated at different tables."

Luofengtang said to Yang Ruqing, "When the banquet is about to end, I'll either wait for you at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. If I am not there, there must be something else going on, and I will have someone send a message to you."

Yang Ruqing smiled and said, "Well, I understand. Just rest assured and go to your appointments. The Yao family won't be coming today. I will stay with the other women. Whatever they do, I'll do too. Don't worry, I won't run off!"

"And I still want to see what the Crown Princess looks like! She's going to be Empress in the future, you know!" She said excitedly.

Luo Fengtang nodded and hugged her into his arms. "Well, you go take a look. After the feast, we'll head home together."

The carriage arrived smoothly at the prince's residence despite the wind and rain. Today was the prince's wedding day, and many members of the royal family and court officials came to offer congratulations.

So, the threshold of the Prince's Mansion was unusually removed. The carriages were checked by the guards of the Prince's Mansion after their identities were verified, invitations and tokens were examined, and they were allowed to drive straight into the mansion.

Then a special person came to escort them. Luò Fēng Táng went to the male guests' side, while Yáng Ruò Qíng followed the other female guests who had come in the rain and waited together in the backyard.

Although the weather was bad today, nothing could stop the crowds' enthusiasm for the prince's wedding.

In the spacious and bright flower hall in the backyard, which was specially used to receive female guests, it was brightly lit and warm like spring, while outside there was a storm.

Warblers and swallows gathered here, smiling coquettishly, with beautiful eyes gazing expectantly. They were adorned in fine silks and brocades, jeweled ornaments tinkling on their bodies. Particularly striking were the pearls and gold hairpins adorning the coiffures of certain ladies under the soft glow of the lamps, as well as the dazzling array of gemstones they wore around their necks and wrists, glittering brilliantly.

Suddenly, Yang Ruqing's mind popped out a slogan she had seen in an advertisement in her past life: "Moonlight Goddess, shining into the world!"

Looking at herself again, Yang Ruqing was still quite satisfied with her outfit.

It's not too flashy, but not too plain either. To celebrate the occasion, she even changed into a dress with wide sleeves and red trim at the collar and cuffs.

She had a slanted moon bun on her head, with a golden hairpin inlaid with jade. A fringe of air bangs was left in front of her forehead, and she wore a string of small pearl earrings that resembled tassels on her ears.

She wore light makeup on her face, her lips a pale orange, with a touch of blush, giving off a hint of festivity.

She was naturally fair-skinned and delicate. With just a touch of light makeup, she looked more vibrant and radiant than any beauty filter could achieve.

...Unlike other ladies of high society, who rely on thick layers of makeup to cover their faces and then meticulously redraw their eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth.

It's so fake, so stiff. Yang Ruqing just looks tired watching it.

So, after arriving at the flower hall, she politely greeted a few noble ladies she had met before. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, she quietly sat in her designated spot and sipped tea, waiting for further instructions.

She had excellent hearing and could hear many sounds around her.

Whether it's the women washing clothes by the pond at Changping Village or the noble ladies from Qi attending the Prince's wedding, wherever there are women, there is gossip to be heard.

Well, he had only just sat down on the stool when he heard two women at a nearby table whispering to each other.

"Have you heard The prince is taking a main wife today, along with two concubines. Logically, the dowries of the concubines shouldn't exceed that of the main wife according to protocol."

"But, this Su side concubine's dowry was a hundred and eighty carts, while Zhao Zhengfei's dowry was one hundred and sixty carts. The Su family had twenty more carts than the Zhao family. From south to north of the city, it was truly a ten-mile red makeup!"

Another woman exclaimed, "Wow, the Su family is so wealthy Didn't Duke Anle just hold a nominal title Duke Anle's son, Su Zichang, is a wastrel, a good-for-nothing. How could the Su family be so rich"

The previous woman said, "During the upheaval caused by the false emperor last year, Marquis Anle was like an ostrich, completely clueless about how to shrink away. The Su family luckily escaped unharmed."

"The Zhao family of the British Duke's Mansion was different. The Duke and his heir bravely stood up to uphold justice. If they hadn't angered the usurper emperor in this way, they wouldn't have ended up imprisoned together and died!"

"And the Duke of England's estate must have been thoroughly ransacked. To be able to put together a dowry of one hundred and sixty carts is truly impressive!"

Another person nodded in agreement, "The Zhao family is known for their loyalty and righteousness. They are deeply devoted to the royal family. It is precisely because of this that the position of Crown Princess fell to a Miss from the Zhao family. This can be seen as another form of compensation."

“It's just, the Su family is truly something else. Even though their eldest daughter got married, to be a concubine in the Eastern Palace..."

“Concubine, concubine, isn't she still a consort in the end Why do you have to overshadow the Crown Princess like this”

“Even if your Su family has 180 carts, and the Zhao family has 160, the Zhao family’s 160 carts openly enter from the main gate of the East Palace, while your Su family's 180 carts have to enter through the side door Why must you press down on the Crown Princess at this very moment I truly don't know what the Anle Marquis Mansion is thinking!”

Another person pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that during the chaos of the False Emperor's Rebellion, the Anle Hou Mansion's actions of self-preservation by hiding away caused dissatisfaction from the royal family"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"So, the young lady came in as a concubine, and the Anle Houfu wanted to make up for it with property, showing the royal family the sincerity of their approach"
