Before everyone could recover from their shock, the newly appointed master of ceremonies shouted again:

"One hundred bolts of shimmering brocade, and fifty bolts of flowing cloud brocade!"

"Fifty bolts of emerald silk gauze, and fifty bolts of gold-threaded robes!"

"One hundred bolts of Purple Cloud Brocade, one hundred bolts of Moonlight Brocade!"

As his shout faded, more boxes were carried into the yard, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively...

Upon hearing this, the people around them became so excited that they could hardly contain themselves and began to whisper and discuss among themselves.

"Heavens! Weren't the legendary 'Emerald Silk' and 'Golden Robe' said to have long since disappeared from the world? How could they appear here?"

A gasp of surprise came from the crowd, drawing the attention of those around.

"Yes, it is said that even the current Empress Dowager and the Empress, who are the mother of the nation, have never had the chance to wear these two rare treasures."

Another person chimed in, their tone filled with disbelief.

At that moment, someone muttered something under their breath:

"His Highness the War King truly dotes on that county princess to an extreme degree..."

Although the sound was soft, it still reached everyone's ears clearly, causing a murmur among them.

Just as people were discussing this, the officiant continued to shout loudly:

"A set of eighteen pieces, 'Qionghua Yingyue'!"

"A set of eighteen pieces of Yunjin Tianxiang brocade!"

"A set of thirty-six pieces of 'Purple Cloud Fairy Charm'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of strong servants carried in three exquisite wooden chests.

They carefully placed the wooden box on the ground, then gently lifted the lid, revealing the treasure inside to everyone.

The first thing that catches the eye is the jewelry set called "Qionghua Yingyue" (Jade Reflecting the Moon), with eighteen exquisite jade pieces shimmering with a warm glow in the sunlight.

These jade artifacts include rings, pendants, bracelets, and more, each piece meticulously carved and exquisitely crafted.

The most eye-catching piece is the exquisite warm jade, which is said to emit a warm aura with just a gentle touch.

Next up is the "Yun Jin Tian Xiang" set, a jewelry collection that is dazzling with its precious pearls and exquisite craftsmanship.

The last item on display was made by combining glass and "starlight".

The "Purple Cloud Fairy Charm" 36-piece set is a large collection of jewelry, yet it doesn't appear cluttered at all; instead, it gives off a grand and majestic feeling.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the three sets of exquisite jewelry.

They stared in disbelief, their eyes wide as saucers, their mouths involuntarily forming a large "O".

It was as if time had frozen at that moment, unable to come together for a long time.

Some people couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

"Oh my, these gorgeous ornaments are like treasures that only gods could possess!"

"I never imagined that we mere mortals would have the honor of witnessing this today. It truly makes my life worthwhile!"

These words immediately resonated with those around them, who nodded in agreement, their faces filled with disbelief and ecstatic joy.

Just then, the master of ceremonies standing to the side cleared his throat and slowly began to introduce:

"You may not know this, but these three sets of jewelry have an extraordinary history."

"Back then, Empress Yi'an personally oversaw the design and devoted a great deal of manpower and resources to gathering a hundred top-notch craftsmen,"

"It took three long and arduous years to meticulously craft these rare treasures."

Its rarity is beyond compare; it's an extremely rare find in the entire world.

The official's words were like a bombshell dropped into the crowd, causing a huge uproar.

People whispered among themselves, deeply shocked and amazed that His Highness the War King had presented such a generous gift.

Immediately afterwards, the master of ceremonies raised his voice slightly and solemnly said:

"Behold this set of jewelry called 'Eighteen Pieces of Cloud Brocade and Heavenly Fragrance,' eighteen exquisite pieces of jewelry meticulously crafted from the finest Eastern pearls."

"This includes not only the dazzling pearls inlaid on the shoe upper, but also the elegant and luxurious necklace, and so on."

"It is especially worth mentioning that the largest pearl is prominently located at the top of the headdress, shining like the most dazzling star in the night sky, attracting everyone's attention."

The master of ceremonies continued in a loud voice, "Next up are the 'Thirty-Six Pieces of Purple Cloud Immortal Charm'."

This entire set of jewelry is exquisite! It's all meticulously crafted from glass, and the craftsmanship is truly breathtaking.

When they are placed under the bright sunlight, they emit a dazzling light, as if they can illuminate the whole world;

As night falls and the bright moon hangs high in the sky, these glass ornaments present a dreamlike and enchanting scene, as beautiful and captivating as twinkling starlight adorning the night sky.

Standing to the side, Chu Xingyao couldn't help but marvel at the three sets of jewelry before her.

Each piece of jewelry is perfectly designed and just right; they are simply treasures bestowed upon humanity by heaven, breathtakingly beautiful.

Especially when Chu Xingyao's gaze fell on the set of jewelry called "Thirty-Six Pieces of Purple Cloud Immortal Charm", she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

Because she discovered that in addition to using glass as the main material, the jewelry set was also inlaid with some dazzling diamonds!

Although they were just small, fragmented diamonds, she recognized them at a glance thanks to her keen observation and knowledge of jewelry.

Ancient people didn't recognize diamonds, so they called them "starlight".

At that moment, a bold idea suddenly popped into Chu Xingyao's mind: "Could it be that Empress Yi'an was also a person who traveled from the modern world?"

"Otherwise, how would they know to combine materials like glass and diamonds?"

Thinking of this, Chu Xingyao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Just then, she suddenly realized that she couldn't stay in one place in a daze. If she didn't move around, the official in charge of announcing the betrothal gifts would definitely introduce each and every one of them to her.

But there are a total of 366 dowry items here. If we were to show them to her one by one in detail, I don't know how long it would take to finish the ceremony.

What displeased Chu Xingyao even more was that a large number of women had already gathered at the entrance to watch.

They all stared intently at the handsome Jun Jiuxiao, their infatuated gazes making one feel somewhat uncomfortable.

While pondering, she arrived at Xinghai Garden.

Jun Jiuxiao followed behind.

However, after returning from the betrothal gifts, Chu Xingyao remained silent, seemingly lost in her own thoughts.

Seeing this, Jun Jiuxiao felt concerned and asked softly, "Yao'er, is there something you're unhappy about? If so, please tell me."

His words were full of tenderness and care for her.

Chu Xingyao slowly turned around, her beautiful eyes fixed on the handsome man before her, her gaze filled with complex emotions.
