Mrs. Chen has never seen a family so eager to get married.

If Lanzhi hadn't repeatedly told her that the prince was in good health, good-looking, and had a car and a house, she would have really suspected that the prince had some shameful problem.

No other family was so anxious, so they took the horoscope and were eager to give the betrothal gift.

Xiao Yu was in a hurry about this marriage, the prince was in a hurry, and the princess was not in a hurry at first, but she became anxious after being urged by these two people all day long.

We hired two matchmakers, and talked several times with the matchmaker hired by the Gu family, and finally decided on a date.

The wedding date will be discussed after the New Year.

Early that morning, the palace opened the middle gate, and a long carriage drove out from the door.

The motorcade was not moving very fast. When pedestrians on the road saw such a lively motorcade, many of them followed curiously to watch the excitement.

When they arrived at the gate of Gu's house, there were many people following behind.

The door of Gu's house opened, and the servants lined up in two rows.

The two matchmakers were full of joy, saying auspicious words while directing the betrothal gifts to be carried inside.

More and more people were watching the excitement at the door, blocking the road in front of the door.

Mrs. Chen sat in the lobby and watched the betrothal gifts being carried in one load after another. As each load came in, the matchmaker read the gift list beside her.

The first is: the bride price is one thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver.

Four sets of red gold headbands, four sets of gold headbands set with rubies, four sets of gold headbands set with pearls, four sets of gold headbands set with sapphires, four pairs each of mutton-fat jade bracelets, and four pairs each of red gold and gem-set dragon and phoenix bracelets.

Two handfuls of red gold and two handfuls of mutton-fat jade.

A pair of gold and silver basins.

Twenty pieces of jade.

Eight hundred pieces of silk and satin of various colors.

Two hundred pieces of fur.

Then there is a pair of live geese, which symbolizes good luck.

Two pairs of chickens, two suckling pigs, and two fish are the three animals.

Then there are wedding cakes, wine, sesame seeds, tea, dried fruits and other common betrothal gifts.

Mrs. Chen felt numb all over. The matchmaker had said that the palace would now keep a low profile and the betrothal gift could only be ordinary.

Is this unusual?

After the betrothal gift is carried out, the matchmaker hands the betrothal letter and gift list to Chen, and the wedding is completed.

From then on, the marriage was decided.

After giving the wedding money and seeing off the matchmaker and the servants of the royal palace who were carrying the betrothal gift, all the villagers who had been standing at the door of Zhuangzi next door rushed in with cheers.

Because the Chen family kept this matter a secret, even the aunt and others didn't know the news.

At present, the aunt, Juhua, Qian, the old lady, Li, the village chief's two wives, Liu Zhuangtou and his wife, almost all of them who are in the village are here.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they stared at the mountains of things in the lobby.

After a long while, the eldest aunt asked tremblingly, "Second brother and sister, just now I heard that this is a betrothal gift?"

"Did you hire Xiao Fei?" There is only one daughter in the family, Xiao Fei, and there should be no one else besides her.

Qian's whole body was shaking, "I heard it's a palace, can it be true?"

The old lady looked at Mrs. Chen eagerly, wanting to know the answer from her mouth.

Mrs. Chen smiled brightly, "It's the palace, Prince Qi's palace, who hired my Xiao Fei as the crown prince's concubine."

This sentence stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.

Qian screamed first, "How is that possible?"

Mrs. Chen glanced at her lightly, "The betrothal gifts are all laid out here, and I hold the betrothal letter in my hand. Why is it impossible?"

Qian covered her mouth and shook her head repeatedly, "I, I, I didn't mean that, I just felt like this, how could such a good thing happen?"

Auntie was confused.

She and Aunt Liu also quietly thought and discussed it, and estimated that Xiao Fei could marry into the palace as a concubine and become a concubine in the future, but Mrs. Chen said she was the crown prince!
