The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Sickly Prince Strategy Manual

Yun Shang felt that these things were nothing to worry about at all. Prince Shangguan was already very wealthy. Even if her family worked hard to prepare a dowry, it would probably be like a child playing house when she arrived at the Shangguan Palace and would not be worth mentioning.

"Mother, we will buy whatever the Ministry of Rites sends us. These are all betrothal gifts from the royal family. No one will gossip about them. Please don't be so stubborn!"

Yunchang advised her mother, after all, how could a family of a fifth-rank official be compared with a family with a title.

Yunmu sighed lightly and said with a worried look on her face: "Mother knows this, but I'm just afraid! If we don't make any extra preparations and only rely on the gifts from the Ministry of Rites, I'm afraid that after you marry into the palace, your parents-in-law will look down on you!"

"Don't worry! Mother, it won't happen! Prince Shangguan is already eighteen years old. If I don't marry him, he will still be single! My future mother-in-law will definitely welcome me!"

Yun Shang tried to comfort Yunmu, seemingly speaking calmly, but she still felt a little uneasy deep down in her heart. However, this uneasiness did not come from the difference in betrothal gifts or family background, but from the worry that Princess Shangguan would be difficult to get along with.

The Ministry of Rites worked very quickly and efficiently. Firstly, the emperor kept urging them, and secondly, they were also afraid that something might happen to Prince Shangguan during the process, so they worked extra hard.

These three books and six ceremonies were carried out in a very high-profile manner. In recent days, the Yun Mansion has been extremely lively.

The engagement letter, the betrothal gift, the name-asking and the congratulatory gift, each of them was extremely grand and all were carried on eight pallets, one after another, and were continuously sent to the Yun Mansion.

Yunmu was so busy with this that she was exhausted. Every time she returned a gift, she strictly followed the ancestral rules and her return was quite decent.

Finally, it was time to pay the betrothal gifts, and this time there were eighteen loads of betrothal gifts, with the red box carried by two people. Each load and each pole were painted with vermilion and gold, sparkling and dazzling, as they were sent all the way to the Yun Mansion.

On this day, Yunmu was extremely alert, racking her brains to think about how to prepare the dowry based on the long list of gifts.

Everyone was envious when they saw this scene, and they all whispered to each other: "The Yun family has a rich daughter!"

At this time, Ning Xue was standing on the street, staring at the eighteen bearers of betrothal gifts, her heart and eyes filled with jealousy, and she couldn't help but feel a little resentful in her heart.

She and Huo Lang have already exchanged engagement letters, which is considered three of the six ceremonies. However, the betrothal gift from the Huo family is only six pieces of money, which is too shabby. But what else can she do? Huo Lang's family is not well-off now, so she can't ask for too much.

The wedding ceremony will be held tomorrow, and I don’t know how much betrothal gifts Huo Lang can prepare.

Thinking of this, Ning Xue couldn't help but sigh softly.

In order to marry Huo Lang, she and her mother have been in a cold war for a long time.

This dowry is probably not that good. If tomorrow's betrothal gift is still this shabby, Ning Xue feels a splitting headache when she thinks about it.

In her foreseeable dream, when she married Huo Lang, he was already a fourth-rank official and the betrothal gift he gave was extremely generous and lavish, not like how poor and shabby he is now!

Ning Xue watched the eighteen loads of betrothal gifts gradually disappear from her sight, her eyes gradually becoming dim. She was really unwilling to accept it. How could Yun Shang be so lucky? She was clearly a person with a bad fate!

"Let's go!" Ning Xue said softly weakly.

Stepping into Cuiyu Pavilion, Huo Beixuan was concentrating on reading a book in the accounting office. Seeing Ning Xue coming, he put down the book in his hand and took out a gift box from his sleeve.

"Xiaoxue, this is a gift for you. I just received my salary and saw that it suits you very well, so I bought it." Huo Beixuan smiled faintly.

In fact, this gift box had been bought a few days ago, but when he heard her words outside the door, he was so angry that he crushed the gift box and left. Today, when he learned that he had been promoted, he repackaged it and gave it to Ning Xue.

Ning Xue took it, her smile a little forced.

"What's wrong?" Huo Beixuan asked again when he saw that she was unhappy.

Ning Xue didn't want to mention it at first, but when Huo Beixuan asked, she told him all her worries: "Tomorrow is the big gift, how is your family preparing?"

When Huo Beixuan heard this, he knew that Ning Xue was worried that the betrothal gift was too little and would lose face.

"The betrothal gift was handled by my mother, so I don't really know much about it. But now that I've been promoted, I think my mother will be very careful about the betrothal gift."

Jiang Yun felt slightly relieved after hearing Huo Beixuan say this.

The next day, the Huo family sent someone to deliver the betrothal gifts, and Huo's mother, Huo Beixuan, the matchmaker, and eighteen bearers of betrothal gifts came to the door.

After Ning Xue learned about it in the backyard, she felt a little relieved. At least there were eighteen loads of betrothal gifts, so it was not considered impolite! After all, Yun Shang's wedding was organized by the Ministry of Rites, and she could not compare with them. If it were not for the Ministry of Rites, the Shangguan Palace might not even have eighteen loads of betrothal gifts! Thinking of this, she felt much better.

After the two families had agreed on the marriage and set a date, Ning's mother came to find Ning Xue.

Ning's mother looked unhappy. Her daughter insisted on marrying a lower class woman. She couldn't stop her, nor could she convince Ning's father. She had no choice but to let her daughter get married.

"Xue'er, you have always had your own opinions on everything since you were young. I thought you knew what was important. But now it's useless to say anything. I only have one word for you."

Ning Xue knew that her mother was angry, but she did not make any excuses. In the future, her mother would understand that her choice was right!

"You have chosen the path yourself. No matter how difficult the future will be, you must swallow your tears and pain and live a good life. Don't even think about going back to your mother's house for help. Mother has made it clear in advance that I do not welcome you!"

Ning Xue's eyes were red, her mother still hadn't forgiven her.

"Mother!"

Ning's mother ignored her and turned away. She seemed heartless, but her eyes could not help but well up. This daughter must learn a lesson so that she can understand that what women want is very different from what men want!

She worries about the man's future but not his future life. Later, she will realize her mistake!

……

In the hall of the Yun Mansion, Yunmu was seen holding two pieces of paper with dates written on them in her hands, moving back and forth non-stop. Her figure swayed back and forth, making Yunchang dazzled.

Yun Shang couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what on earth are you doing?"

Yunmu's face was filled with worry, and she said anxiously, "Oh my girl, look, the two dates just sent, June 6 and June 18, are very close to each other. Now it's less than half a month away from the selected date, why are you in such a hurry!"

She frowned, looked undecided, and was very worried.

Yun Shang smiled and said, "Mom, let's pick the sixth day of June! This date sounds so good! Everything will go smoothly! It has a very auspicious meaning. Besides, if we regard this day as our wedding anniversary, it will definitely not be forgotten easily."

Yunmu was still a little uncertain after hearing this, and asked hesitantly, "June 6th?"

Yun Shang nodded heavily and replied affirmatively: "Yes! Let's choose the sixth day of June!"
