Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 607: The Foolish Woman Who Fakes Her Death for a Man (4)

Thinking about how the Third Prince used to give Shuangshuang small gifts from time to time, but he didn't even give her anything worthless, she became even more jealous.

Not only did he scold Shuangshuang from head to toe at home, he also beat and scolded the maids at will and smashed teacups.

Seeing his daughter like this, Bai Haopeng felt sorry for her suffering such grievances.

Then, a bad idea suddenly came to my mind.

Anyway, Prince Jianning is a fool, and the Queen Mother has not cared about the affairs of the harem for many years.

Then I should be able to write something about it and vent my anger for my daughter.

According to the rules, the standards for a prince are higher than those for an emperor's son. Therefore, the good things in Li Xiangyu's betrothal gift are several degrees higher than those of the third prince.

Bai Haopeng was of course acting out of selfish motives in order to vent his daughter's anger.

After all, these betrothal gifts will be needed for the couple to live their life in the future.

So, with his intentional or unintentional benefit, most of the brothers' betrothal gifts were replaced.

When it was almost time to propose, Li Xiangyu was mostly just looking for useless face.

And all those that could support the store and could be converted into cash were included in Li Xiangze's betrothal gift.

As the day for proposing for the two of them drew closer, Bai Haopeng gradually calmed down.

As long as the betrothal gifts are brought to the Prince of Loyalty's Palace, would he dare to confront the emperor?

Just when he was feeling proud, he never expected that Li Xiangyu would do something unconventional.

That day, Li Xiangyu suddenly came to the Ministry of Rites with his Xile and several guards.

He waved his hand at Bai Haopeng and said, "Go and get my betrothal gift list. I need to check it first to see if it is worthy of my sister Shuangshuang's status."

The few trusted men who took action personally were instantly frightened and broke out in cold sweats, glancing at Bai Haopeng intentionally or unintentionally.

Bai Haopeng was also panicked at this time. He clenched his fists in his sleeves to control himself from shaking.

He came to Li Xiangyu's side in a fawning manner. "Your humble servant greets His Majesty."

Li Xiangyu didn't even look at his expression, he just spoke to him happily.

"Master Bai, please quickly give me the list of betrothal gifts so I can review it."

"This...but Your Majesty, this is against the rules."

Li Xiangyu tilted his head in surprise, his clear eyes full of doubts.

"How can it be against the rules? This is my own betrothal gift, can't I see it?"

Bai Haopeng was speechless. Of course it was worth watching, but generally no one would come to watch it.

After all, it was the Emperor who ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle this. Who would be so bored as to risk the Emperor not trusting them and come over to check it out?"

Li Xiangyu didn't ask him to answer at all, but continued to talk to himself.

“That shouldn’t be possible?

I asked my mother before I came here.

My mother said that I must be aware of my own betrothal gifts."

Li Xiangyu sorted out the matter on his own, and without asking him any more questions, he just urged him directly.

"Go quickly, go quickly! If you don't go now, I'll tell my father that you bullied me, humph!"

In the end, Bai Haopeng had no choice but to give the attacker a look.

He was smart enough to quickly hand over Li Xiangze's betrothal gift list to him.

Li Xiangyu looked at the many valuable items inside and said happily to Xile beside him.

"Okay, okay, my sister Shuangshuang will definitely like these things!"

Then he stretched out his fingers in confusion and counted the items one by one.

"That's not right! I remember my mother said that as a prince, my betrothal gift must be at least sixty-six loads.

But you only have 58 units here, where are the others?"

These words instantly made all the officials tremble in their hearts.

Fifty-eight bearers are the standard for a prince, and sixty-six bearers are the standard for a prince.

Li Xiangyu didn't understand, but Xile and the guards around him were all selected by the queen herself.

Whether in terms of fighting strength or brainpower, they are one in a thousand.

Xile narrowed her eyes instantly and stared at Bai Haopeng closely.

"Master Bai, please explain to our prince what is going on."

Bai Haopeng wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and bent down a little lower.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness is right. According to the rules, Your Highness should be carried on the throne with sixty-six people.

But we are still in the process of selection. After all, the prince is getting married to Princess Chang'an, so we, your humble servants, naturally dare not be perfunctory.

But...but the main thing is that your wedding is coming soon, so we are a little overwhelmed. Please forgive us, Your Highness."

“It turns out that there is no time!

That’s okay, just fill it in for me quickly.

Let’s go make up for it now. My sister Shuangshuang is very generous.

I think she would like any betrothal gift I send her."

Bai Haopeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought I would coax Li Xiangyu away first, and then return the betrothal gifts when the time comes.

Li Xiangyu didn't want to stay with this group of old men. He was anxious to find Shuangshuang to play with.

"Okay, then hurry up and get ready for me."

After saying that, he stuffed the list of betrothal gifts into his arms.

"I'll go back and show this list to my mother. Her standards are much higher than yours."

"This is not okay!"

Bai Haopeng's face changed and he quickly stopped him.

Noticing that his tone was wrong, he quickly lowered his voice.

"This... Your Highness, I need to keep this list to check the previous betrothal gifts. Please return it to me.

Li Xiangyu frowned and looked at Bai Haopeng, really reluctant to hand it over.

Xile couldn't bear to see her prince suffer such injustice, so she took a step forward.

"Master Bai, please don't tell this servant that you don't have an extra copy."

The eunuchs close to the prince all have ranks.

Moreover, he was the most trustworthy person, so even the Minister of Rites, who was a second-rank official, did not dare to disrespect him in front of the prince.

In the end, I could only watch Li Xiangyu skipping away with the job offer.

After the others left, the trusted subordinate asked timidly.

"Sir, this...what should we do now?"

What else can Bai Haopeng do?

I can only consider myself unlucky.

"From the sixty-six that the prince had before, we can pick a few more and put them here, and then exchange the betrothal gifts for the two of them."

"But sir, if the exchange really happens, we will not be able to raise such a betrothal gift for the Third Prince."

Speaking of this, Bai Haopeng felt extremely regretful. If he had known earlier that such a dignified prince would actually check the betrothal gifts.

Then he would definitely balance the two betrothal gifts so that neither one would be much different.

But it's no use regretting it now. I can only hope that the emperor doesn't know about this.

He wasn't speaking as gently to the attacker as before.

"What can we do? Can you bear the crime of deceiving the emperor, or can I bear it?"

In an instant, the confidant stopped talking, and the others became even more indifferent to their own affairs.
