Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Princess Bajie returned to the palace with four heavy gifts and their heartfelt sentiments, her eyes red and her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She did not return to her own palace, but went to the Empress's Phoenix Palace.

She plans to sleep with her mother tonight.

Upon arriving at Phoenix Palace, she discovered that her older brother was also there.

Although it was almost night and the palace gates were about to be locked, those living outside the palace could not remain inside.

Especially men from other countries.

However, as the crown prince, Xiao Muyao naturally had special privileges and was not bound by these rules.

At this moment, the Eighth Princess looked at the Empress, who had a sorrowful and reluctant expression, and at her brother, who smiled gently at her but whose sadness was still evident. She felt extremely sad.

At this moment, Xiao Muyao smiled and said gently to her, "You will be married off to a distant place tomorrow, so your brother should give you some dowry. Therefore, your brother has prepared people to manage various affairs and guards for you. In addition, there are twenty dowry estates, shops and land properties, as well as many silks, paintings, jewelry and so on. Most importantly, your brother has also prepared two million taels of silver notes for you. These are all the confidence your brother gives you."

The Eighth Princess stood quietly in place. After listening to Xiao Muyao's words, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water.

My brother has prepared so much and so thoroughly!

Then her brows furrowed slightly, her heart filled with incredibly complex emotions.

Her chest began to heave violently, her eyes gradually turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes like a lake about to burst its banks.

Those tears contained a variety of emotions, including being moved, reluctant to part, and sad.

Her hands clenched together unconsciously, her fingers turning slightly white from the force.

Her shoulders began to tremble slightly as she struggled to control her emotions.

She then tried to force a smile to respond to her brother's deep affection, but the smile looked worse than a cry.

Finally, she could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.

Then she suddenly lunged at Xiao Muyao, hugged him tightly, buried her face in his chest, and burst into tears.

She sobbed and said, "Brother, thank you for preparing so much for me. It's so precious and thoughtful. I... I really don't want to leave you."

Xiao Muyao looked at the Eighth Princess, who had thrown herself into his arms and was crying, and felt a pang of tenderness in his heart.

He slowly raised his arms and gently embraced her tightly.

A hand gently patted the Eighth Princess's back, as if soothing a frightened little bird.

He lowered his head slightly and pressed his face against the top of the Eighth Princess's head.

He spoke in a voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "Silly sister, don't cry anymore. These things are nothing. I only hope that you can live a happy and peaceful life in this foreign land. No matter what, your brother and mother will always be behind you. You will always have someone to rely on."

Under Xiao Muyao's gentle comfort, the Eighth Princess's sobs gradually subsided.

She sobbed, and the trembling in her body gradually subsided.

After staying in Xiao Muyao's arms for a while, she slowly raised her head and looked at him with teary eyes.

Then she loosened her grip on him, stepped away from his embrace, and wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief.

The Empress stood aside, watching this scene of deep affection between the brother and sister. Her heart felt as if it were being pierced by countless needles, causing her immense pain.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She kept wiping away her tears gently with the silk handkerchief in her hand, which was already soaked with tears.

Then the Queen took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions.

Then she used a silk handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes one last time, and quickly adjusted her expression.

Then, a gentle smile gradually appeared on her face, which had been full of sorrow.

Then she walked gracefully to the Eighth Princess, her eyes full of affection.

Her voice was soft and warm as she slowly said, "Child, your brother has given you so much dowry, so your mother can't be any less. The dowry I'm giving you is twice as much as your brother's."

As she spoke, she handed the box in her hand to the Eighth Princess.

The Eighth Princess took the box with some surprise and slowly opened it.

Inside the box were neatly stacked stacks of silver notes, the amount of which was astonishing.

Next to the banknotes were rows of farm deeds.

Among them were also the deeds to the dowry estates that Xiao Muyao had just mentioned.

Seeing the Eighth Princess's surprised expression, the Empress smiled gently and said, "These are all prepared for you by your mother. A woman must never be without money to protect herself. With these, your life over there will be much smoother."

Then, her voice trembled slightly with tears as she gently said, "Child, the journey ahead is long, please take good care of yourself."

At this moment, the Eighth Princess's hands were trembling slightly, and the arms holding the box seemed to be bearing a huge weight.

The weight came not only from the items themselves, but also from the profound love of the mother and brother.

Her eyes turned red in that instant, and tears welled up in them like a flood.

Tears welled up in her eyes, reflecting the surrounding lights and sparkling.

Then she slowly raised her head and looked at the Empress, her eyes filled with deep affection, emotion, and disbelief.

"Mother..." Her voice was barely audible, yet it was filled with boundless emotion.

Her tears flowed slowly down her cheeks, one drop after another, wetting her clothes.

Then she took a small step forward toward the Queen, and stretched out her arms to hug her tightly.

She buried her face deeply in the Queen's arms, just like when she was a child.

Her sobs echoed through the palace, her tears soaking the queen's clothes and leaving a dark stain on the fabric.

She stayed in the Empress's arms for a long time, as if she wanted to deeply engrave this moment of warmth in her heart.

She was deeply moved. These things were not just wealth to her, but also a testament to her family's deep affection and boundless love.

Then, the Eighth Princess suddenly remembered something and quickly ran to the gifts her sisters had given her that day.

Then they eagerly opened their gifts, carefully searching for something.

The Empress and Xiao Muyao were somewhat puzzled by this.

But he followed her there.

As they walked over, they saw the Eighth Princess both crying and laughing at the gifts.

He muttered to himself, "Just as I thought."

The two looked down and saw that each gift contained silver notes and gold leaves.

The Empress was deeply moved upon seeing this.

She was even happier that her daughter had made such good friends.

Xiao Muyao saw that the amount of silver notes in one of the boxes was as high as two million taels.

Then I knew it was Yan'er's doing.

To be honest, the other three didn't actually have such a large budget.

But they all did everything they could.

This sentiment is indeed very rare.

The Eighth Princess cried for a long time before finally stopping.

She has lost count of how many times she has cried during this period.

But after crying today, I'm sure I'll never cry again.

So she wiped away her tears and stood in the main hall looking at her mother and brother.

Then look at the red contracts in the box, and the gifts, silver notes, and gold leaves on the table.

My heart is filled with joy, emotion, happiness, and warmth.

So let her smile and carry this heavy love into the next new stage of her life.
