Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 608: The Foolish Woman Who Fakes Her Death for a Man (5)

She is not his daughter, so I took the risk of hiding something for him. It was because he was the head of a department and I didn't dare to offend him.

Li Xiangyu happily took the betrothal gifts back.

"Mother, please take a look at this betrothal gift."

"Oh, take it away and show it to Mother."

The queen took the list, looked at the items on it, and then looked at the number of only fifty-eight units. What else was there to not understand?

She glanced at Xile who followed her, and Xile nodded slightly at her.

Li Xiangyu didn't pay any attention to these lawsuits at all and was still chattering away.

"Mother, do you think my sisters will like these betrothal gifts?"

The Queen smiled meaningfully, "Don't worry, you will definitely like it.

When the time comes, if the Queen Mother gives her a dowry of twenty loads, she will be even more pleased."

"real?

Should I buy a few more? Father has given me many good things before."

"No, after she marries you, all your things will be hers. Don't bother carrying them around."

The queen didn't want to take out her son's good things in advance.

I should take advantage of this wedding to go to the emperor and plunder some good things.

"That's right."

Li Xiangyu felt that his mother was right, because what belonged to him belonged to his younger sister Shuangshuang anyway.

The queen took the list and looked at it carefully again, then said to Li Xiangyu casually.

"Yu'er, do you want to show this list to your father? Let him be happy too."

"Yes, then, mother, your son will come back to have dinner with you in the evening."

Then he took a group of people and hurried to the emperor's Qinzheng Hall again.

At this time, Yao Fugui was guarding the door, with an attitude that no one was allowed to enter.

Li Xiangyu ran over, "Fugui, open the door quickly! I have something to ask Father."

Yao Fugui's expression froze. "Well... let's go back to the palace. The emperor is discussing state affairs with several adults."

"I see!"

After saying that, he walked around him and rushed in like a gust of wind.

Anyway, this was not the first or second time that he had broken into the Qinzheng Hall, so Yao Fugui just extended his hand to Erkang as a token of his respect, and then simply kept his hands down and continued to be the door god.

As soon as Li Xiangyu entered the Qinzheng Hall, as usual, he only looked at his good father.

She didn't care at all what state affairs they were discussing, and just held up the list of betrothal gifts and handed it to the emperor.

"Father, Father, this is the betrothal gift that the Ministry of Rites prepared for me. Take a look at it. Should we add a little more?"

The emperor did not blame his son for interrupting his work.

He reached out to take it, looked at it, and frowned.

"Why fifty-eight?"

Li Xiangyu shook his head obediently, "I don't know, but Lord Bai said that there are a few more being prepared.

Humph, I don’t know how they do things. I’m about to go and propose marriage, but they haven’t even prepared the betrothal gifts for me yet.”

The emperor's face changed when he heard this and he narrowed his eyes instantly.

It seems that I, Bai Haopeng, have become so arrogant because I want to be the father-in-law of the third prince that I even dare to be perfunctory about the prince's betrothal gift.

The other ministers looked at each other and said nothing.

Seeing Li Xiangyu staring at him with hope in his clear big eyes.

The emperor suppressed his anger and replied with a smile.

"It's okay. Father will make up for the missing betrothal gifts."

"Ah, then please follow me to your private vault.

The Queen Mother has already said that she will reward Shuangshuang with twenty loads of dowry.

How many do you think we should watch?

I won't bother you any more. I'll pick up the reward you give me when the time comes."

The emperor's face froze, but he still had to put on what he thought was a warm smile.

"Okay, why not?

But the emperor won't go, so you and Yao Fugui will go."

When Yao Fugui heard the emperor say that he would take Li Xiangyu to his private warehouse to choose the betrothal gifts, he was really reluctant to go.

I still remember that time when she said she wanted to pick out a birthday gift for her mother.

He almost picked out all of the emperor's favorite ones.

Who knows if he will take out all the emperor’s private treasury this time?

After Li Xiangyu left, he had already selected the betrothal gifts and dowry.

Yao Fugui wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and went back to report to the emperor tremblingly.

When the emperor saw his expression, he knew the result and said something with his eyes closed.

"Okay, stop talking and just let her go."

The emperor's thoughts were quite simple. As long as he hadn't heard that these treasures had been taken away by that unfilial son, they would still be safe in his private vault, and he wouldn't feel sad.

However, while he could fool his own son, he was not so happy about it with others.

Therefore, the culprit who caused all this naturally suffered.

Bai Haopeng saw Li Xiangyu sending the betrothal gifts to the Ministry of Rites in a grand manner.

He staggered and almost fell down.

There are only two words in my heart: It's over!

Even if the emperor spared him for the sake of his future wife, the queen would never let him live a good life.

Although the queen has been indifferent to worldly affairs in recent years, if anyone dares to disrespect Prince Jianning, she will go crazy and even the emperor cannot stop her.

The next day, a large number of memorials impeaching the Minister of Rites appeared in the court.

Moreover, all the officials in the Ministry of Rites who were involved in the substitution of betrothal gifts received more or less impeachment memorials.

The emperor looked at these well-reasoned memorials and instantly threw the paperweight in his hand directly at Bai Haopeng.

Bai Haopeng didn't dare to dodge and was caught red-handed.

A bloody hole immediately appeared on his forehead, and he could only kneel on the ground.

"I beg Your Majesty to investigate. I am loyal to Your Majesty and have done nothing of the kind."

Bai Haopeng thought that he was an expert in accounting over the years and had already balanced the accounts?

Even if others have guesses, they will never be able to get any evidence.

But unexpectedly, all the evidence appeared on the emperor's desk the next day.

In the end, Bai Haopeng was demoted to a doctor in the Ministry of Rites.

Now, Bai Wanting’s identity is in an awkward position.

How could the daughter of a minor official of the fifth rank be worthy of being the wife of the third prince?

So the imperial concubine put on some beautiful makeup and went to the Qinzheng Hall with someone carrying a bowl of chicken soup.

"Your Majesty, this is something I made myself. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."

The emperor looked at the imperial concubine, who was not as fresh as ever even in her attire, and still drank a sip out of courtesy.

Then he said seriously, "What's the matter with coming here?"

The imperial concubine knelt down suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, Bai Wanting is only the daughter of a fifth-rank official. How can she be worthy of our Third Prince?

I beg you to revoke your order and choose a new wife for the Third Prince."

The emperor immediately threw the chicken soup aside. "Let's go back. This matter ends here."

The imperial concubine was heartbroken after returning home in defeat, but the man who loved her was no longer there.

The wedding was held as scheduled. On the wedding night, Li Xiaoyu completed a series of actions with the help of the bridesmaid.

After they drank the wedding wine, Xicai congratulated the two. "Your servant, congratulations to the prince and princess, may you have a happy marriage and a son soon."

Of course, she didn't need to say anything. Her face flushed, and she just lowered her head shyly and waited.
