Chapter 47 Dowry

"Sister." Jiang Tingyi, who was waiting outside Liuli Courtyard, saw Jiang Jingyue coming out, walked up and asked, "How is it? Did she agree?"

Jiang Jingyue's eyes were red with anger: "Yan Li is possessed by something, and his temper is so stinking and hard, it doesn't make sense at all!"

"Forget it, don't beg her again." Jiang Tingyi said in a slightly angry tone, "She has flown onto the branch now, and she can't tolerate anyone in her eyes."

Jiang Jingyue pursed her lips, but couldn't help but start to worry. She had failed to convince Yan Li. If Yan Li went to tell the Ninth Prince what she just said, the consequences would be disastrous.

There was a burst of noise, and Jiang Jingyue looked up: "What is the noise over there doing?"

"I heard that Princess Yu is coming to visit, and my grandmother is entertaining her."

Jiang Jingyue was puzzled: "Princess Yu?"

"Um."

"What is she here for?"

"A few days ago, before you came back, the prime minister invited the noble ladies from the capital to attend a flower-viewing banquet, and Yan Li was also invited." Jiang Tingyi simply stated the cause and effect, "You also know that many noble ladies from the capital admire the Ninth Prince. , among which the Prime Minister's Mansion even sent someone to propose the marriage... In short, after Yan Li went, he somehow offended the princess of Prince Yu's Mansion, the princess of Prince Xian's Mansion, and the legitimate daughter of the Song Dynasty's Shangshu family. Afterwards, the two princesses came to the door together with Mrs. Song. There was a lot of commotion when I asked for guilt.”

Jiang Jingyue frowned: "Come to ask questions?"

"Yes, but that day the Ninth Prince sent Yan Li back in person, and the two princesses were so embarrassed that they left in despair." Jiang Tingyi's face was not very good, "Later, Prince Yu's Mansion also sent over a message saying that he was invited. Princess Nanyang went to Prince Yu's Mansion to make amends to her, but Yan Li didn't go. "

Jiang Jingyue was thoughtful, Prince Yu's Mansion should apologize to Yan Li?

Even if the Ninth Prince comes forward in this matter, given the status of Prince Yu's palace, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to apologize to Yan Li. What's more, this is just a dispute between the daughter's family, which can neither affect the court nor the interests of the palace. What do they have? Reason to apologize to Yan Li?

"I didn't expect Princess Yu to come here in person today." Jiang Tingyi guessed, "It should be to apologize to Yan Li."

Jiang Jingyue pondered quietly, this matter was obviously not normal.

Who doesn’t know what kind of temperament Princess Muya of Prince Yu’s Mansion has? Princess Yu is even more impulsive, domineering and domineering. Will they take the initiative to apologize to Yan Li again and again?

It would be reasonable if the Ninth Prince had done something to Prince Yu's Mansion, but it was absolutely impossible for them to take the initiative to apologize without any loss.

Jiang Jingyue thought of the queen's plan.

She said that Yan Li was made Princess of Nanyang by the emperor, and no matter how much they hated her, they could never deal with her in the palace. There are many noble ladies outside the palace who like the Ninth Prince, and there are also many impulsive and brainless ladies among them.

Among them, Princess Muya is one.

If we can use the hands of these people to make things worse and ruin Yan Li's reputation...

An idea flashed in Jiang Jingyue's mind, and she turned to look at Jiang Tingyi: "Eldest brother just said that the daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Gu's family invited Yan Li to attend the flower appreciation party?"

Jiang Tingyi nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Jingyue's eyes were narrow, and there was a calculating light in her eyes.

Gu Anxian was the first of the noble ladies in Shengjing. She was both talented and beautiful, and came from a noble family. Which daughter of an official family in the imperial court would not look up to her?

She didn't believe that Gu Anxian could remain indifferent to Yan Li's marriage to the Ninth Prince. Princess Mu Ya had a conflict with Yan Li in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was no guarantee that Gu Anxian would not instigate this matter.

"Brother." Jiang Jingyue turned around and lowered her voice and said, "Go out and help me check whether Gu Anxian has interacted with Prince Yu's Mansion in the past two days."

Jiang Tingyi was puzzled: "Miss Gu and Prince Yu's Mansion?"

"Yes." Jiang Jingyue nodded slowly, with a deep look on her face, "Princess Yuwangfu is obviously the one who suffered the loss, why do you want to apologize to Yan Li again and again? And they want to invite Yan Li there, not themselves If you come to apologize, there is no guarantee that no one will instigate it.”

Jiang Tingyi was surprised: "Sister, you mean, someone wants to deal with Yan Li in Prince Yu's Mansion?"

Jiang Jingyue nodded: "That's right."

"Okay, I'll go out and ask right away." Jiang Tingyi perked up, "I happen to have a lot of friends outside, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out."

"Then I'll wait for the good news from brother."

Jiang Tingyi left quickly.

Jiang Jingyue didn't like dealing with Princess Yu very much, so instead of going to her grandmother's place, she turned around and went to He Tangyuan where her mother was.

Luo Shi was discussing Jiang Jingyue's dowry with Aunt Ji. When she saw her daughter arriving, she hurriedly waved: "Jingyue, come and see, this is the one I chose for you -"

"Mother." Jiang Jingyue bowed, "I have something to tell mother."

Luo Shi raised his head and looked at her expression, "Did Yan Li's little bitch bully you again?"

"She didn't bully me." Jiang Jingyue's expression darkened, "It's just that she has a noble status now and doesn't take her daughter seriously."

"Noble ass!" Luo Shi cursed coldly. Realizing that there were other people present, he swallowed more disgusting words, "When you sit on the throne of the queen in the future, she will kneel down and salute you. ?”

Jiang Jingyue turned to look at Aunt Ji and Aunt Wan: "I have something to say to my mother alone."

Aunt Ji and Aunt Wan then bowed and left, taking several maids in the house with them.

"Jingyue." Luo pulled her aside and sat down, with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face, "Yan Li, that little bitch, will get married next month. The long string of precious dowry given by the emperor has all been put into the inner room of Liuli Courtyard by Nanny An. We can't touch it at all, but you are the Crown Princess. If your dowry is less than hers, wouldn't it look shabby? I don't want you to be outdone by her."

Paused, "It's just that the Jiang family doesn't have much money in the account. I can't afford to buy better than her."

Jiang Jingyue pursed her lips, unwillingly: "The emperor gave a lot of things to Yan Li?"ŴŴŴ.

"A lot." Luo was worried, "Why don't we go and discuss with her to see if she can give you some?"

Jiang Jingyue bit her lip: "So I have to rely on her charity to buy a decent dowry?"

Her wedding date is after Yan Li, and even her dowry is outdone by her?

Why does the emperor favor Yan Li so much? Isn't she Jiang Jingyue the legitimate granddaughter of the Jiang family?

"It's not that we can buy it because of her charity, but the things the emperor gave us are all the best, and each one is very valuable. Even if we can buy a few big ones, first of all, it takes time, and secondly, it really costs a lot of money." Luo sighed, "You know, since the decline of Prince Rong's Mansion, your grandmother has almost only the title of Princess, and nothing else. I have always wanted to be a lady of honor, but your father is not up to the standard..."

"Mother." Jiang Jingyue twisted her handkerchief and smiled sympathetically, "It doesn't matter if the dowry is less. When I become the queen, the entire harem will be under my control. Who cares about Yan Li's dowry?"
