Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

The Seventh Prince's residence was bustling with people, and the guests were all beaming with joy. The reason was simple: everyone who came to visit the Seventh Prince's residence received a return gift.

Men can receive a glass thumb ring or a jade belt buckle, while women can choose from earrings, hairpins, or rings. Glass is currently all the rage in Dongli, and the Seventh Prince's return gift is sure to please everyone.

Everyone was full of praise for the decorations inside the mansion, and they were all discussing the lavish expenses for the wedding in private.

"Have you heard? This wedding was personally overseen by the Seventh Prince."

"Really? Seventh Prince values ​​this marriage alliance very much."

"Oh, what's the big deal? I've also heard that the Seventh Prince once met Princess Nalan at the border and has long been enamored with her. This marriage alliance can be considered a fulfillment of his wish."

"I've also heard that the Seventh Prince has long been in love with the princess, and that he has gone to great lengths for her sake. The return gifts we received alone are worth a fortune."

"Ten thousand taels of gold is nothing! You just haven't seen the bridal chamber!"

"Besides the rare and exotic decorations, is there anything special in the bridal chamber?"

"Of course! My aunt went out the other day and happened to run into the Seventh Prince with his servants at Jubaozhai to buy wedding items. It was a fortunate coincidence that she had the chance to see him. Can you guess what the Seventh Prince commissioned from glass for the princess?"

"Stop keeping us in suspense, the ladies are all waiting to hear it."

"A glass house!"

"A glass house?!"

"If it really is a house made of glass, how was it transported back to the prince's residence? How come we didn't hear a word about it?"

"Yes, if it were a glass house, the whole capital would be in an uproar."

"You may not know this, but the glass used in the Glass House is made of transparent pieces. The shopkeeper said that glass and metal are combined to build a more sturdy house, so the main frame is made of copper and iron plated with gold, and then glass is added to make it durable."

"How much silver will this cost?"

"No matter how much you spend on your loved one, it's still money well spent."

“I heard from my father that the Ministry of Rites has announced that His Highness’s wedding ceremony this time will be different from our traditional wedding ceremony. It will incorporate many Western customs and etiquette. The bride will only need to hold a fan and will not need to cover her face with a veil.”

“It’s so nice. When I got married, I got up before dawn to put on makeup. During the ceremony, I wore a veil. By evening, my husband was drunk and couldn’t see my face clearly. I didn’t know who I was dressing up for.”

"Oh my god, I really want to marry the Seventh Prince too, it would be so wonderful."

"If you want to marry, the Seventh Prince has to take a liking to you. Besides, the Seventh Prince already has two wives. If you want to come in, you can only be a concubine or a secondary wife."

"As long as the Seventh Prince takes pity on me, I'll even be his concubine."

"Then you're probably out of luck."

"How to say?"

"The Seventh Prince is deeply in love with Princess Nalan. On the day the princess arrived in the capital, he braved the wind and snow to come out of the city to welcome her. Now that they have just gotten married, they are newlyweds and would not pay any attention to you."

"The Seventh Prince's residence will be changing its mistress from now on."

“It wasn’t like this before. I thought Li Leru would be a glorious princess when she married the Seventh Prince. Who would have thought that Consort Qi would die that very night? It’s so pitiful that the Seventh Prince and Consort Qi are now separated by death. It’s already magnanimous of us not to hold a grudge.”

"Yes, it's true. After the Empress passed away, the Seventh Prince went to the Imperial Mausoleum. It's quite pitiful."

"Fortunately, our Dongli mourning period is one hundred days, otherwise, who knows when His Highness and the Palace Master would be able to achieve their happy ending."

"Now that His Highness has married the apple of his eye, the Prince's residence is going to be lively."

……

Under the guidance of a scheming person, the story of how the Seventh Prince met Princess Nalan at the border in his early years and how the two fell in love at first sight and confessed their feelings to each other gradually spread.

Worried that Princess Nalan would not be able to withstand the cold of Dongli, he spent a fortune to build a glass house as a betrothal gift, hoping that the princess could feel warm in the winter.

All the products from Jubaozhai are of the finest quality. The fact that the Seventh Prince was willing to spend so much money on the wedding shows how much he loves Princess Nalan.

Li Leru listened to the discussions in the courtyard, feeling utterly disgusted, her fingernails digging into her palms without her realizing it.

"Your Highness should take care of yourself. His Highness and the Princess's marriage is an agreement between the two countries, and His Highness cannot refuse."

Seeing that Li Leru's face was full of anger, the maid was worried that she would be punished when she returned, so she could only try to persuade her gently.

"Couldn't refuse? I see he's quite pleased! He even personally decorated the bridal chamber. Heh~ What is Nalan Lianyi? A princess from a small border country, she really thinks she's something special!"

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. There are many guests today; please do not let anyone overhear."

"Hmph, I'll see how long she can be so smug!"

Li Leru flicked her long sleeves and strode away.

The entire capital was bustling with activity because of the Seventh Prince's wedding. Coins were scattered all along the wedding procession route, and lucky people could even find pieces of silver. A continuous feast was set up on the long street outside the Seventh Prince's mansion. Anyone who said a few words of blessing in front of the mansion gate could go and eat.

When ordinary people enjoy the benefits, they naturally speak highly of them as if they have no money to spare.

Yang Jianwu stood at the Seventh Prince's door for a long time, listening to all sorts of auspicious words, her smile never stopping.

Mu Jin was both amused and exasperated. "Miss, please take it easy. Your mouth is practically stretched to the back of your ears."

Yang Jianwu said, "I'm happy even with my head stretched out. I wonder if someone in the manor is as happy as I am."

Mu Jin: "Come on, you keep coming back to this, it's a miracle you're not driving people crazy."

Songyin covered Mujin's mouth, "Quickly spit it out~ Don't use unlucky words."

Mu Jin laughed and lightly slapped herself twice. "Right, right, I misspoke. It was 'so angry I was about to ascend to heaven.'"

Yang Jianwu waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing. It's a joyous occasion, everything we say is just to make people happy."

Mu Jin looked at the glass ornaments in the guests' hands with a pained expression. "Miss, even if you want to anger Li Leru, there's no need to send so many things to the Seventh Prince, including the glass house. You're going to spend too much."

Exchanging glass base materials in the space is very cheap; the expensive part is the craftsmen's wages. In ancient times, the cheapest thing was probably handmade. All things considered, using glass to enhance the appearance of Mo Yu's wedding is to obtain the greatest benefit with the least expenditure.

As for the glass house, it's actually made of glass... and it's even cheaper.

The so-called copper-silver-plated gold bracket is just an aluminum alloy with a layer of metallic paint applied on top, making it look expensive.

Yang Jianwu touched the tip of her nose guiltily, "Mujin, it's good to be thrifty, but money has a price when you use it, and it's just a dead thing if you leave it idle. Besides, is your young lady short of money? Your young lady has plenty of money."

"Aren't you afraid that Li Leru will be jealous of Princess Nalan and make things difficult for her in the future?"

Yang Jianwu looked up at the sky and sighed, "Jealousy is a given, which is why I asked Mo Yu to cooperate in the act. It's a mix of truth and falsehood, but it will protect Lianyi."

Hibiscus knew better than to keep quiet; you're the boss, so what you say goes.

Judging by the time, Mo Yu had already picked up Lianyi and was on his way back to the manor. Yang Jianwu's smile widened; the show was about to begin.
