Chapter 383 Different thicknesses
After Du Zhili and other officials from the Ministry of Rites left, Najib's matter was completed today. Next, the officials from the Ministry of Rites went to the palace to report to the emperor and ask for the due date.

When a prince marries a wife or a royal marries a daughter-in-law, all the betrothal gifts come from the treasury and are left to the Ministry of Rites with full authority. These are certain, but whether the prince is favored or not, the size of the betrothal gift is also different.

Generally speaking, for a prince to marry a concubine, it will cost him one year's salary.

The prince of Daqi's annual salary is fifty thousand shi and his annual salary is thirty thousand taels of silver. Including the taxes from the food estate, the annual salary is usually around one hundred thousand taels. In addition to the income from the imperial palace and various industries, as well as the rewards received in various festivals, etc., there are two hundred thousand taels of silver a year.

But the ten fingers still have length. The emperor has more children, so the degree of favor will naturally be different. The rewards received during the New Year are different, the size of the property is different, the fertile land of the imperial village is different, and the rich and poor of the food towns are also different.

Therefore, the annual salary of each prince is different.

Therefore, a wealthy prince or a favored prince will naturally give a generous betrothal gift to the bride's family. Of course, to show that the royal family is impartial, the bride price given to the bride's family is the same. But gold and jade jewelry vary in thickness.

When Zhao Guangyuan asked Du Zhili for a request, he acted like he was poor but he was also the son of the emperor and wanted to be treated fairly. Du Zhili naturally understood.

Du Zhili had always had a good impression of the King of Yue. Other princes had their wives in the palace planning for their sons, and they would get some gold, jade and jewelry from the emperor's private treasury to give to their sons. But what did the King of Yue have?
The queen is gone, who is willing to worry about him.

But Du Zhili listened to the words of the King of Yue, and when he went out, he received a thick red envelope from Jiang Xiang's people, so he was naturally willing to enter the palace and help him say a word or two.

Although Zhao Guangyuan didn't care how much betrothal gift the palace prepared, he didn't want Lin Zhaoxia to be underestimated. This is related to her future position among the sisters-in-law. He didn't want her to be wronged.

The Lin family has not received the title of Feng Yin, so the betrothal gift given to the woman's family must be generous.

After Du Zhili left, Mrs. Jiang and her daughter-in-law packed up the various gifts brought by the Ministry of Etiquette. Cattle and sheep, five kinds of animals, wine, tea, cakes and other things that were not easy to store were sent to the kitchen of the Jiang Mansion, and those silk and satin cloth decorations were sent to the warehouse, and Lin Zhaoxia would be taken to the Yue Prince's Mansion in the future.

"Thank you for your trouble, Mrs. Jiang."

"What did the prince say? This is an honor that I couldn't even hope for."

After Zhao Guangyuan thanked Mrs. Jiang, he followed Jiang Xiang to the study.

Jiang Xiang still remembered what Zhao Guangyuan had just reminded Du Zhili, and comforted him heartily: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, no matter how the Emperor treats you, the Ministry of Rites will not dare to be disrespectful to him, and the etiquette will not be shorter than that of other princes."

After all, the emperor also wants to save face.

Zhao Guangyuan nodded, "I don't care. I'm just afraid of wronging the princess."

Jiang Xiang understood instantly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the princess is protected by my Jiang family. If others dare to talk about her identity, my Jiang family is not someone to be trifled with."

Zhao Guangyuan smiled and nodded, "I know."

Jiang Xiang felt moved in his heart. For this trust from the King of Yue, I can't wait to be devastated.

"gentlemen……"

Jiang Xiang was stunned for a moment. He hadn't heard the word "sir" in many years, and he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. "Your Majesty..."

"Sir, please help me run the operation. I want to join the government and take charge of the government."

Uh... Entering the DPRK to listen to politics?
"Your Majesty? Why? Why did Your Majesty suddenly change his mind?" Didn't His Majesty say before that he should keep a low profile in everything and plan secretly? When the court is at peace, nothing should come to light.

Zhao Guangyuan lowered his eyes and remained silent.

When Jiang Xiang thought he couldn't wait for an answer, he was thinking that since it was the prince's order, he should do as he said. Just when he was thinking about it, he heard Zhao Guangyuan say in a calm tone: "I dreamed about the emperor's brother and his mother last night... "Jiang Xiang was shocked. An indescribable sorrow rose from the depths of his heart, and his throat immediately became blocked.

Zhao Guangyuan thought about the empress mother and the emperor brother he dreamed about last night, and the tragic death of the emperor brother's family. He closed his eyes in pain, and then opened them after a long time, "The empress mother and the emperor brother have waited too long, sir, I Can’t wait any longer.”

Jiang Xiang swallowed down the sadness in his heart, raised his head and blinked away the tears, and held his hands towards Zhao Guangyuan with a firm expression: "Yes. The ministers will work for the prince from now on, so that the prince can enter the court and listen to the government!"

Jiang Xiang strongly agreed with the prince's decision.

Only by entering the DPRK to listen to the government can we understand the major events in the DPRK at the first time, and can we better strategize and understand the dynamics of all parties and be one step ahead. Simply showing weakness and lying dormant will not achieve the goal.

"Okay, then I'll spare the trouble, sir." He solemnly saluted Jiang Xiang, who felt distressed and hurriedly went to help...

After coming out of Jiang Xiang's study, Zhao Guangyuan went to Qixia Courtyard.

Lin Zhaoxia was learning the rules from the two nuns Kong and Wei. When she saw Zhao Guangyuan coming, she was very surprised, "Why are you here?"

"Come to see you." Seeing the person he missed so much, most of the depression in Zhao Guangyuan's heart disappeared immediately. He looked at her carefully and walked towards her slowly.

The two nuns Kong and Wei came up to pay their respects. Zhao Guangyuan asked them a few questions, scolded them with a straight face, and gave them a generous reward, but let them go down.

"You scared them. I see that they sincerely regard me as their master and want to retire in Prince Yue's Mansion." Lin Zhaoxia felt that she had a good eye for people. And she also believed in Mrs. Chiang.

Zhao Guangyuan nodded, "Well, feel free to use it. The bad ones won't get in front of you."

"Have you asked someone to check them?"

"Of course." Without checking their details, how could they put people in front of her. If something happens to her, how will she bear it?

Lin Zhaoxia felt sweet in her heart when she heard what he said. She stepped forward and hugged his waist, stood on tiptoes and gave him a sweet kiss. Just when she wanted to let go, Zhao Guangyuan pinched her waist tightly and deepened the kiss...

It wasn't until Lin Zhaoxia couldn't breathe anymore that she hit him hard several times and then let go.

The two of them sat down in the pavilion. Lin Zhaoxia looked at his expression and said, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Zhao Guangyuan didn't want her to worry about him, so he shook his head, "No. It's just that you weren't here last night, so I didn't sleep well. I didn't close my eyes until the rooster crowed."

"Huh? Didn't you sleep well before I was away?"

You've only been away for one night and you can't sleep well? Lin Zhaoxia caressed his slightly blue eyelids with her hand, and Zhao Guangyuan grabbed her hand in his big palm and rubbed it, as if she couldn't put it down.

"Before, before, I had adapted to the days without you, but you suddenly appeared, and we were suddenly separated again. How could I get used to it?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhaoxia couldn't help laughing, "Come on, didn't you ask Qin Tian Jian to pick an auspicious day? There aren't many days left."

Zhao Guangyuan held her in his arms and rested his head on her shoulder, "Every day is difficult. I can't wait to welcome you back today."

"Yes. I also want to go back to the palace to be with you. It would be great if Chang Zhi is here." Thinking of Chang Zhi, Lin Zhaoxia felt uncomfortable. I don’t know if I can go back.

Zhao Guangyuan paused and said, "I will go to the Ancestral Temple to find Zhao Gang soon."
