C488 Agreement (2/2)

The dowry was moved into the mansion and the entire front hall was piled up. If it couldn't be piled up, the housekeeper led the servants of the Xiao family and put them into the account room. The entire mansion was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

On the surface, Feng Qianyue had a smile on his face as he listened to the main director sent by the Xiao family reciting the contents and weight of the dowry, but in his heart, he was filled with deep disgust at Xiao Zhenhai's actions.

He was very clear on Xiao Zhenhai's intentions. He used these dowry words to remind him that Xiao Rou was his beloved daughter. He, Feng Qianyue, must treat her well and cherish her.

It was noon. As Princess He Yun still wanted to enter the palace to present her gifts to the Emperor and Queen, Empress Duanwen no longer cared about the harem and did not appear. She merely followed the etiquette and sent the eunuchs to the Changchun Palace.

After Xiao Rou left the palace, according to etiquette, Feng Qianyue would also wear a python robe and come before the emperor and empress to pay his respects. If he was born out of the imperial concubine, he would have to pay his respects to his own mother, but due to the fact that the fourth prince's birth mother had already been dead for many years, he didn't have to take this step.

At this moment, within the Hall of Rongyuan, Feng Qianyue was wearing a purple python robe as he knelt before Zhou Chengdi, kowtowed three times, and listened to the Holy Commandment —

However, Zhou Cheng Emperor didn't say anything to Feng Qian, he just kept looking at him, and sank into deep thought.

It was true that his son's appearance was very similar to his, and even his personality was the most similar to that of all the princes. However, he was born lowly, so this wasn't something he liked at all times.

The more Feng Qian knew that Zhou Chengdi was sizing him up, the more he tried to show incomparable reverence and humility in his expression, voice, and even his subtle movements.

After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, ”Fourth son, from today onwards, you are a family member. I hope that you …”

”Yes, this son will follow father's teachings and will not forget.”

”Alright, there's no need to go to the empress. Let's go to the empress dowager's place.” Zhou Chengdi said.

”Yes, this son obeys the decree.” Feng Qianyue solemnly kowtowed three times, then straightened his body, only to see tears on his face.

Zhou Chengdi was slightly startled.

”Now this son is going to get married. When I think of royal father, I am deeply moved. royal father, this son has made many mistakes in the past. Royal father has shown mercy and spared this son's life. This son will remember this in his heart.”

As he spoke, Feng Qianyue lifted his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, then kowtowed three more times before fiercely walking out.

Zhou Chengdi looked at his back as his python robe floated in the air. His heart suddenly skipped a beat as he called out, ”Fourth brother …”

Feng Qianyue's footsteps paused as he turned around. ”Royal father?”

Zhou Cheng Di slowly retracted his hand and said, ”It's alright. You can leave now.”

”Yes.” Feng Qianyue turned around, the modesty at the corner of his mouth turning grim.

In his entire life, he had experienced too many women and had too many children. For someone like Fourth Son, who was able to walk all the way to his front, still be able to discuss matters in the imperial court, and even bear the heavy responsibility of carrying out all of his responsibilities, he was the only one who could do so.

Did he just want to prove himself to him, or was there something else? Zhou Chengdi began to ponder deeply.

The next day, the day of the fourth prince's wedding had finally arrived.
