Chapter 321 The Princess Wants to Play Badly 17
Mingnan stood up, took the book and read it page by page, saying as he read: "From now on, all the money and gifts in the mansion will be handed over to Zhengfu to handle. The key to the treasury and the account book will also be given to him."
Zhou Xingzhi and Xie Wuyu were both startled when these words came out. They looked at each other, and Zhou Xingzhi bowed respectfully, "Yes, I will send the things to Zhengfu later."
Xie Wu Yu hesitated, "I'm not very good at housekeeping."
Mingnan smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I'm not good at it either."
Xie Wuyu: “…”
Mingnan said, "I don't care anyway. If you don't care either, then let Xingzhi take care of it."
Zhou Xingzhi's smile immediately disappeared when he heard this.
She turned to Xie Wuyu and said seriously, "Zhengfu is the one who was married by His Majesty. The king personally married him through the main gate. As the king's husband, he should take the responsibility of managing all matters in the palace."
As she spoke, she bowed deeply to Xie Wu Yu.
Xie Wuyu: “…”
He said helplessly: "I know, I'll take care of it."
Zhou Xingzhi immediately smiled, "Thank you, Master Wang!"
Mingnan secretly glanced at Xie Wuyu's helpless face and couldn't help laughing.
Xie Wu Yu saw it and immediately glared at her.
Mingnan turned back as if nothing had happened, spread the gift list on the table, pointed to a line of words on it and said, "These items are not very good, change them to two pairs of jade bracelets, a glazed screen, and a gem-inlaid incense burner..."
She paused for a moment, unable to think of anything else, and said to Zhou Xingzhi, "Add some more valuables. The return visit in three days is a big day, and it concerns the reputation of the husband, so we can't be careless."
"Yes, I understand." Zhou Xingzhi took back the gift list and said, "I will personally take people to choose."
Mingnan nodded and waved his hand.
After Zhou Xingzhi left, Xie Wuyu took a sip of tea and said softly, "There's no need to mobilize so many troops."
"Why not? Going home is not only a family reunion, but also a show for outsiders. The generosity of your return gift represents how much you are valued by your wife's family. I don't know how many people are watching you, openly or secretly."
"It's just a face-saving trick."
"You have to do a good job of saving face." Mingnan ate a grape, then pinched another one and threw it into Xie Wuyu's arms.
"I will go back with you tomorrow, bringing a bunch of gifts to prove that I value you. It will also bring honor to your Fuguo Mansion. Others will know that I love and respect you, and they will naturally be more respectful of you."
She glared at Xie Wuyu, "You don't know what's good for you."
Xie Wu Yu caught the spinning grape, held it in his palm, and chuckled softly.
He peeled the grape skin and fed the flesh to Mingnan's lips, "Yes, I don't know what is good for me, Lord, please calm down."
"That's pretty much it."
Mingnan held the grape in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Xie Wu Yu looked at her puffy cheeks and twirled his fingertips.
This person is quite cute.
……
The Dayun Dynasty was more considerate of women because women were in power.
On the second day after the wedding, you don’t have to get up early to visit your parents-in-law, so you can have a good rest for the day.
The tea offering and other activities are moved to the third day and carried out together with the visit to the parents' home.
So Mingnan and Xie Wuyu did nothing on the second night. On the third day, they got up early, dressed up, and went to the palace to pay their respects to the emperor and Feng Jun.
When Mingnan and Xie Wuyu arrived, Fengjun Palace was already full of people.
The Emperor and Lord Feng sat in the main seats, looking dignified and majestic.
The Crown Princess and the Second Princess sat below, and opposite them sat the main man in the harem.
No matter what their relationship was like in normal times, at least in front of the emperor, everyone had a decent smile on their face, watching the newlyweds slowly approaching.
Mingnan wore a royal blue double-breasted blouse with a pomegranate red tube-top dress underneath today. Her long hair was tied up and put into a golden crown with seven phoenixes holding pearls, revealing her beautiful eyebrows and eyes. She looked noble and gorgeous.
As she got closer, all the beauties in the hall lost their color.
However, Xie Wu Yu, who was walking beside her, was not outdone at all.
He was wearing a cross-collared brocade robe of the same color as Mingnan, with a hint of red showing at the collar and cuffs, echoing the other.
He was born fair, and the royal blue color made his face look even more handsome and energetic.
The two walked side by side to the emperor, knelt down respectfully, and said in a loud voice: "Your son greets the mother, the queen, and the father."
"Long live the mother queen, long live the emperor, long live the father, a thousand years and a thousand years—"
The emperor was still very satisfied with Xie Wu Yu. He did not make things difficult for him. He just said a few words of encouragement, took his tea, and rewarded him with a bunch of treasures.
Feng Jun loves face and gives many rewards.
Mingnan took Xie Wuyu to meet a group of people, and accepted a gift from each person he met.
The princess' husband is actually Xie Wuyu's brother. Because of this relationship, the princess is naturally closer to Xie Wuyu and Mingnan, and her smile is also sincere.
But when it came to Mingjin, the atmosphere became very subtle.
Of course, it was mainly one-sided between Mingjin and Cui Qing.
Mingnan pulled Xie Wuyu over and greeted him openly, "How are Second Sister and Second Brother-in-law today?"
Xie Wu Yu bowed, "Wu Yu greets the Second Imperial Sister and the Second Imperial Brother-in-law."
The attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and calm.
Cui Qing quickly stood up and returned the greeting.
Although their family backgrounds are similar, Cui Qing is somewhat inferior to Xie Wuyu.
The more Mingjin looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
It was obvious that she was the one who had her eyes on this guy first, but Mingnan got there first.
Lu Feiyu is, and so is Xie Wuyu.
Was Mingnan born just to steal her things?
Although the acid of jealousy was boiling inside her, she still had to put on a generous look and smiled as she presented the gift she had prepared long ago.
It is a beautiful white jade Guanyin.
Ming Jin said: "Avalokitesvara sends children, I wish my third sister and her husband to have a daughter soon."
At Mingnan's glance, Biqing stepped forward to take the box. However, just as she was about to take it, the other party's maid suddenly let go, and the box fell to the ground.
Jade is fragile and will break if it falls.
Broken jade on such a good day is unlucky no matter how you look at it. It is bound to leave a knot in people's hearts and will be used by people with ulterior motives to make a fuss.
This is a very vicious thought.
Biqing's face changed drastically. From the perspective of others, it was because she didn't catch Guanyin that she fell. Then all the faults would be blamed on her!
"what--"
Everyone present couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when they saw this, and their hearts were in their throats.
Biqing reached out to take it in a hurry, but someone got there before her.
Xie Wu Yu flicked his wide sleeves, and before anyone could see clearly, the box containing Guanyin fell steadily into his arms.
This move is neat and casual.
Mingnan raised his eyebrows quickly and looked at Xie Wuyu with appreciation.
Xie Wu Yu received her encouragement, smiled softly, handed the box back to Bi Qing, and said meaningfully: "White jade is common, if it breaks, it breaks. Guanyin is precious, if it breaks, even the person who gave the gift will be guilty of disrespect and insincerity, so be careful in the future."
Bi Qing was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She took it with both hands in fear and held it tightly in her arms, "Yes, I will remember your teachings, my husband."
Mingjin looked at him deeply, and his hands clenched in his sleeves involuntarily.
