Chapter 524: Chapter 524 Envy

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Just as it was getting late, the Emperor and Empress and the Fourth Prince’s mother, Consort Shu, rushed over.

Everyone immediately went forward and bowed to them.

Next was the wedding ceremony.

Zhou Ying took the opportunity to take a good look at Sun Miaoke’s wedding dress. It was a bright red dress with patterns of birds and beasts embroidered with gold thread.

The back of the dress stretched out six feet long. Overall, it looked both stylish and beautiful, making her envious.

Looking at the Empress’s luxurious attire, she finally understood why women fought so hard to attain a higher status. At least, they could dress better than others.

“First bow, to heaven and earth.”

“Second bow, to your ancestor.”

“Third bow, to each other.”

“Head into your bridal chamber.”

The Emperor looked at the backs of the newlyweds and laughed, “Hahaha, 1 have succeeded in completing another major milestone in my life.”

“Congratulations to the Emperor. Long live my Emperor.” Everyone immediately stood up and bowed to him.

“Everyone, please rise. Today, I’m attending the wedding as a father. Let’s all have a good drink.” After saying that, the Emperor looked at Butler Feng and said, “Let’s begin the banquet.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Everyone stood up and bowed before taking their seats at the banquet.

Zhou Ying and the other women returned to the backyard. After they sat down, Mingyu looked at Wanning and asked, “Wanning, what’s wrong?”

Yang Wanning was surprised by the question. “Nothing. I just thought of something.”

“I see.” Mingyu didn’t ask any more.

Yang Wanyu sneered at her, saying, “I’m sure she’s just envious of Sun Miaoke’s red wedding dress.”

“As if you can wear it too.” Yang Wanning replied unhappily.

“You…” Yang Wanyu was about to retort when Yang Wanning shook her head. She added hesitantly, “I’m just worried about our dowries. Look at her 88 sets of dowries; 1 don’t even know what you can gather when you get married at the end of the month.”

Yang Wanyu was so angry after hearing that she picked up the chopsticks in her hand and was about to hit Yang Wanning.

Mingyu raised her head and pinched Yang Wanyu’s chopsticks with her fingers. “Don’t forget where we are.”

Yang Wanyu angrily glared at Mingyu, glared at Yang Wanning, and finally let go of her hand and changed tables.

Mingyu smiled and shook her head when she saw this. She winked at Yang Wanning and said, “Well done; you finally know how to counterattack.”

Yang Wanning smiled silently at that.

However, she couldn’t feel happy even doing so.

Because Wanyu was right, she was envious of the red wedding dress when she had to wear a pink one as the secondary consort. She also knew that she shouldn’t have these feelings, but no matter what, she was envious.

Zhou Ying saw Yang Wanning’s mind wandering off and coupled with her reaction moments ago, she more or less guessed her thoughts. However, Tang Wanning had chosen her own path, and there was no way to retreat. She knew that she had to bite the bullet and rush forward from here on.

Mingyu had the opposite thought. She felt that Yang Wanning was worried about her dowry. After all, the Yang family went broke, and she doubted if they could even take out a decent, sizable dowry.

“Wanning, are you worried about your dowry?”

Yang Wanning shook her head and replied, “I’m more worried about Wanyu’s dowry. Her wedding date is coming soon, but there’s nothing in the residence that we can take out.

“When 1 came out today, my mother even asked me to borrow money from my cousin-in-law.”

“What are you saying? Even if they want to borrow money, they should borrow it from Wanyu’s mother’s family. Why would they ask you to borrow money from Sister Zhou?

“Moreover, the dowry of a secondary consort is at least 80,000 taels of silver. Even if Sister Zhou and the others could take it out, they would have to empty their family’s coffers. Why would they?”

“I don’t agree either. But now, she’s having ideas about my betrothal gifts. She wants me to send a letter to King Rui through Brother Zhou to ask His Highness to send my betrothal gifts as soon as possible..”
