zChapter 1078 - We Need To Be Proactive And Give The Dowry (2/2)

With regards to the Emperor regaining a clear mind, Imperial Concubine Yun already knew about it. It was just that she did not mention it and acted as if it did not happen, acting like there was no such person. She still wanted to live her own life in Chun Palace and the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua did not want to chase her back to Winter Moon Palace. If these messed up matters did not exist, at this moment, the whole family was gathered, a mother, with two sons and a daughter-in-law, and someone she thought would be her future daughter-in-law, this was a very harmonious scene.

Xiangrong had stayed in Chun Palace for a long time and was no longer as nervous as when she first came, she had become very familiar with the servants in Chun Palace, and especially with Imperial Concubine Yun, because they kept each other company every day, the two acted like close sisters. XIangrong’s personality was actually a little rebellious and a little lively, it was just that she had been suppressed by the Feng family for too long to the point that she did not know what kind of personality she had. Then going to Ji An Prefecture later, she became much more cheerful. Now that she was at Chun Palace and interacted with Imperial Concubine Yun every day, she had changed even further, and even Feng Yuheng had to say with emotion: “Our third younger sister is different from before, if Madam An sees this, she would probably be very surprised, right?”

Xiangrong covered her mouth and laughed, speaking as she laughed: “Second sister has a harsh mouth! Is it that exaggerated?”

“Exactly.” Imperial Concubine Yun also said: “It’s only this much? In my opinion, she needs to continue changing more. For example, I wanted her to sneak into Hua-er’s room at night, but she did not even dare to do so.”

“Oh my, Madam!” Xiangrong blushed immediately, “How can you just say that out?” She even glanced at Xuan Tianhua as she spoke, feeling anxious. “Your Highness the Seventh Prince, please do not misunderstand, Madam was just joking and playing around, please do not misunderstand this!”

“What joke? What playing around?” Imperial Concubine Yun had enough, “I was serious when saying that. Both of you have hugged and held hands, then? You’re just going to leave it as that? I say, Hua-er, if you don’t have feelings for a girl, do not give her so much hope. During the New Year period, you were so proactive, then why were there no actions after that?” As she spoke, seeing that Xuan Tianhua was about to open his mouth and explain, she quickly interrupted, “Alright! Don’t tell me that the capital has been too messy and too busy these few months, I don’t like listening to that. Let me ask you, when do you want to confirm the matter between you and the third young girl? The third young girl is fourteen years old this year and will be an adult next year, it will be a little late if you continue to drag this on. This engagement is not a small matter, the eight characters have to be exchanged, a matchmaker needs to be found and the dowry has to be delivered, as well as the three books and six processes, it’ll be busy! The third young girl’s mother is in Ji An Prefecture, in my opinion, us as the groom’s side of the family needs to show some sincerity and go there personally. As your mother, I should naturally go personally to deliver the dowry, I……”

“You want to take this chance to sneak out, right?” Xuan Tianming saw through Imperial Concubine Yun’s motives with one sentence, “Take this chance to leave the capital, and do crazy things when you’re outside, it’s very enjoyable, isn’t it?”

Imperial Concubine Yun felt a little awkward, “No, it’s not like that, isn’t this for the sake of your Seventh Brother!”

“Then we can ask Madam An to come back.”

“That clearly lacks sincerity.” Imperial Concubine Yun said this earnestly, and even threatened Xuan Tianming: “The third young girl is Ah-Heng’s younger sister, how can you be so disrespectful to her? Carrying out the customs and etiquette to the fullest also involves Ah-Heng’s reputation, is it that you do not care about your wife?”

This accusation was a bit too unfair, Xuan Tianming quickly said: “I definitely did not mean that.”

“Then that’s settled! Let’s choose a good date and go to Ji An Prefecture together. Bring along the letter with the eight characters as well as the dowry. Yeah, there are still many good things in Winter Moon Palace’s storage, go in later and search it, take out what can be taken out, the dowry to be given to third young girl can’t be lacking.”

She was already calculating the dowry and the two people involved could not interject, Xiangrong was so shocked that she gaped and her face contained some shyness. Xuan Tianhua was calm, not rejecting and not agreeing. He just watched Imperial Concubine Yun with a smile, seeing her spread out her fingers counting one item after one item of the so-called dowry.

It was Feng Yuheng who could not continue watching, opening her mouth to speak: “Imperial Concubine Mother, you have not asked what Seven Brother and Xiangrong thinks about this.”

“Hm?” Imperial Concubine Yun paused, “Is there still a need to ask third young girl? I already know about her thoughts, she even shouted Hua-er’s name when she’s sleeping at night!”

Xiangrong’s cheeks were red. Imperial Concubine Yun would occasionally invite her to sleep together and during one dream she had, she shouted Xuan Tianhua’s name, and Imperial Concubine Yun heard it clearly, joking about it for many days. Unexpectedly, she brought this up again at this time, leaving her with nowhere to hide herself.

“Then Seventh Brother?” Feng Yuheng looked towards Xuan Tianhua, “Seventh Brother agrees with this marriage?”
