Chapter 291 Bringing betrothal gifts to Prince Xiang’s Mansion

In the afternoon of the second day, Zhao Shun went to the door of Prince Xiang's Mansion as promised.

Prince Xiang and his wife brought Crown Prince An Rong and Princess An Ning to greet them.

"Hey! Prince Regent, the heavy snow has just passed, why did you come to the door in person?" Prince Xiang said with a smile.

"Uncle, I will go to the Three Treasures Hall today for no reason. Murong Duan, please bring your things in."

Zhao Shun gave instructions and asked the guards to carry the gifts into the main hall.

Seeing boxes after boxes of gifts, Prince Xiang and his wife were dumbfounded, and the boxes looked familiar.

Zhao Shun glanced at Zhao Anning, who smiled and instantly understood his intention.

"Linchuan, what are you doing?" King Xiang asked.

"Let's sit down and talk first. It's very cold. Come here and serve tea to the Regent." Princess Xiang said.

Zhao Shun sat down next to Zhao Anrong, the eldest son of Prince Xiang. Zhao Anrong also understood his intention and said with a smile: "Linchuan, you are not here to propose marriage to my sister today, are you?"

When the word "proposing marriage" was mentioned, Prince Xiang and his wife immediately remembered why these boxes of things looked so familiar. They were exactly what the eldest son of the Shen family brought when he came to propose marriage some time ago.

"Linchuan, aren't you here to propose marriage to us on behalf of Shen Qingshi, the eldest son of the Shen family?" Prince Xiang said.

"To tell you uncle, that's right." Zhao Shun said.

"Nonsense! How can your sister, who is the only daughter of your aunt and I, marry a businessman? Her daughter's family is not as good as that of a man. Her Shen family's daughter married into our Zhao family. That's because she married well and was a good person.

Chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. But if your sister marries Shen Qingshi, won't her life be ruined?" King Xiang said again.

Zhao Shun looked at Zhao Anning again and picked up the tea cup from the table, "I respect sister An Ning in this matter. If sister An Ning likes it, I, as the elder brother, will naturally make the decision for her."

Zhao Anning stood up, "Father, mother...I..."

"Shut up! You are a girl. What do you know? Your father and mother are doing this for you! Why can't you figure it out? Is it possible that we parents will harm you?" King Xiang said.

Prince Xiang has always been a slave to his daughter. Whatever Zhao Anning wants, he will satisfy it without hesitation.

Fortunately, Zhao Anning has never been an unruly and willful person, nor has he developed a domineering and complacent character. He has always wanted to share the burden for his parents, brother and sister-in-law.

Zhao Anning's tears fell instantly, and she mustered up the courage to say: "Father, mother, is the title really that important? If it is really that important, then what's wrong with the Shen family? The regent princess is the head of the county like me, and she married a person with power.

The regent who dominates the government! The second son of the Shen family, he joined the Ministry of Household Affairs at a young age and was on duty, inspecting provinces and inspecting taxes for the people of the world."

"It's not a matter of title. If you want to marry into the Shen family, will you be happy?" Prince Xiang said.

"Okay, then it's not a matter of title, so what's wrong with the Shen family? The eldest master of the Shen family is the head of the merchants personally granted by the late emperor. The eldest son of the Shen family can dominate the business world at a young age and is a leader in the business world.

Genius, why can't you marry?" Zhao Anning said.

"Ning'er, the Shen family is a merchant after all..." Princess Xiang said.

"What's wrong with the merchants? The Shen family's wealth is as rich as the country. The daughter of the Shen family can marry the regent of the dynasty. Even if they are merchants, it has not stopped them from rising up. The entire Shen family has never felt inferior to their origins.

, people enjoy it, even if there are many people outside pointing fingers, they just live their own lives, what's wrong with such people?" Zhao Anning said.

"You...your child, Princess Shuyue, aren't you an example? Princess Shuyue married into the Shen family and almost killed two people. It was a den of tigers and wolves!" Princess Xiang said again.

Zhao Anning sneered, "In that case, according to the temper of the eldest princess, why didn't you blame her afterwards?"

"you……"

Princess Xiang was speechless and didn't know what to say, so she turned to look at Prince Xiang again.

"In short, we don't agree with this marriage! Linchuan, your sister cannot marry into the Shen family. Marriage must be carried out according to the orders of your parents." Prince Xiang said.

"Father……"

Zhao Anning knelt down with a plop, and King Xiang frowned, feeling very sorry for his daughter, but for the sake of her future, he must not be soft-hearted at this moment.

"Father, mother, and sister have been fond of doing business since they were young. The teahouse they run is also very good and is deeply loved by people in Kyoto. As far as my son knows, this teahouse is a joint venture between my sister and Mr. Shen. Since my sister likes the eldest son, I also invite him.

Father and mother, please think twice and never let your sister regret her life..." Zhao Anrong advised.

"You traitor! You bastard! You dare to interfere in your sister's wedding. What do you know! If your sister marries a merchant like the Shen family, her life will be ruined! In the future, who can look down on her, and who can look down on us?

Prince Xiang's Mansion?" Prince Xiang said.

Zhao Shun didn't say anything. He pretended not to hear King Xiang's accusations and scoldings.

"After all, what the father values ​​is not whether his daughter marries well, but his own face!" Zhao Anning said.

"You! Okay, you want to kneel! Then you kneel here until you figure it out!"

King Xiang said and stood up. At this time, Zhao Anrong also knelt down, but King Xiang ignored him at all.

"Father, please help my sister!"

"What a nonsense! As descendants of the Zhao family, you are so ignorant of etiquette that you knelt down and threatened your parents. The book was read into the dog's belly! Zhao Anrong, you want to kneel down, right? Then you are here

Kneel down!" Prince Xiang said.

"Your Majesty!"

Shen Qingyan hurriedly entered the door, followed by dozens of servants, carrying thirty boxes of betrothal gifts, which doubled the amount.

After entering the door of the front hall, Shen Qingyan knelt directly on the ground, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Princess, I really like County Master Anning, and I would like to ask you to do so. In the future, I will try my best to protect the County Master, no matter what.

Let her suffer even the slightest injustice!"

"You! How did you get in?" Prince Xiang looked at Zhao Shun, "Huh! Wow, Prince Regent, are you trying to force us as a couple? The late emperor gave you the right, not to interfere in other people's family affairs!

"

"Uncle Wang misunderstood, Uncle Wang, I said, I respect sister An Ning, everything I do is for her sake. I remember that sister An Ning helped me when I chose my concubine, so my nephew can be considered

Repay the favor." Zhao Shun said.

King Xiang became even more angry, "Repaying a favor? You pushed your sister into a pit of fire! How can we get married like the Shen family's den of tigers and wolves!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to use my wealth and life as a guarantee that I will never take a concubine in the future, and I will definitely live with the Lord of Anning County for the rest of my life." Shen Qingyan said.

"In your Shen family, the second son married a princess, the eldest daughter married the regent, and now you want to take advantage of the tranquility of my family to climb up the ladder. As expected of a merchant, you really made a good calculation!" Prince Xiang said.

Hearing what his father said, Zhao Anning's eyes widened, "Father! You are so slanderous, you..."
