Chapter 465: The 8th Day of the Second Month: A Good Day for Marriage
In the palace, in the Imperial Study, Emperor Ming was reviewing the memorial and asked,, “The marriage between the boy from the Qin family and the Dragon Clan will be tomorrow, right?”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Eunuch Li replied respectfully.
“Has the Ministry of Rites made all the arrangements?”
“Your Majesty, please rest assured, we have been overseeing everything.”
“Hmm,” the Emperor nodded, setting down the memorials in his hand. “How are the preparations for the betrothal gift that Qin’s family is sending to the Dragon Clan?”
“Here is the list of gifts, please review it, Your Majesty.” Eunuch Li handed over the booklet.
After browsing through it, the Emperor lowered his head in thought and then said, “Since this marriage is arranged by me, it cannot be lacking.”
“As we all know, the Dragon Clan is wealthy. The betrothal we provide must not be inferior. I cannot allow them to outdo us. Double the amount listed on this list to highlight the dignity of the royal family!”
“As you command, Your Majesty,” Eunuch Li bowed and withdrew.
