A Bao laughed at himself coldly, withdrew his gaze from Pei Guichen, and continued to look at the bright red wedding dress in front of him.

The waistband is decorated with golden beads and silk ribbons with the shape of eight treasures, which is extremely gorgeous.

The round fan used to cover the face is also embroidered with a phoenix and a peony in gold thread, and the fan handle is decorated with black silk tassels and white jade beads, which is exquisite and precious.

A Bao gritted his teeth silently and wrinkled his sleeves.

If it weren't for the fact that this bright red wedding dress was tailored according to ancient etiquette, she couldn't have changed it.

Otherwise, she really wanted to tear this bright red wedding dress into pieces.

A Bao almost gritted his teeth before he took a deep breath and smoothed out the wrinkles on the sleeves of his wedding gown.

Continuing to walk forward, her eyes swept over the sandalwood boxes held by the palace servants one by one.

Until she saw a pair of hairpins.

The pair of hairpins were made of white jade inlaid with gold and pearls inlaid with silver.

One is a dragon hairpin playing with fire beads, the other is a phoenix hairpin wrapped around a peony, both are lifelike and seem to come to life.

Seeing that Abao's gaze stayed on her for a little longer, Aunt Mo immediately explained.

"Reporting to Her Royal Highness, this pair of dragon and phoenix hairpins was passed down by Empress Wenying. According to etiquette, when Her Royal Highness chooses a husband, they will be sent out by the Imperial Household Department as a betrothal gift."

A Bao remembered Empress Wen Ying, who was from the Xuanyuan royal family and also her ancestor.

Hundreds of years before her, as the only female emperor of Daqi, Empress Wenying laid the foundation for the splendid country and vast territory of Daqi.

When he was at Bailu Mountain, Abao read the Records of Empress Wenying written by Sima Qian. Empress Wenying was not only accomplished in literature and martial arts, but also had remarkable political achievements, and her love history was also rich and colorful.

When he thought of this, A Bao suddenly felt ashamed.

Her ancestor, Empress Wenying, was so powerful and had many concubines, all of whom she could control one by one. However, as the heir of Empress Wenying, she was deceived by a man named Pei Guichen.

Because of trusting him, Da Qi lost the world.

No wonder Pei Guichen in his previous life mocked her for being stupid. She was indeed as stupid as a joke.

On second thought, Aunt Mo did remind her.

A Bao secretly thought that this pair of dragon and phoenix hairpins was a wedding gift from the Xuanyuan royal family to her chosen husband, which was a custom left by Empress Wenying for the princess and crown prince.

The legal husband she wanted, wasn’t that Xuanyuan Fengran?

So, with her little thoughts in mind, Ah Bao secretly pulled the sleeve of Xuanyuan Fengran beside her, "Little uncle, do you think this pair of dragon and phoenix hairpins are beautiful?"

Xuanyuan Fengran said calmly, "Very good."

A Bao looked at him secretly, but found that his eyes were dark and heavy, with ambiguous meanings.

The smile on A Bao's lips froze, and his heart sank a little bit.

At this time, Aunt Mo presented a red paper gift list.

"Your Highness, this is the list of betrothal gifts prepared by the Imperial Household Department. Please take a look at it and see if there is anything else you need to buy."

There are precedents for the betrothal gifts for the wedding of the crown prince of the Daqi royal family.

But Abao was still curious, so he took the list of betrothal gifts.

But as soon as she took it in her hand, Xuanyuan Fengran's eyes fell heavily, and A Bao suddenly felt that the betrothal gift list in her hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

A Bao opened the betrothal gift list trembling with fear and slowly flipped through the pages.

In short, there were 20,000 kilograms of gold and silver, 3,000 pieces of silk and satin, 20 boxes of various ancient artifacts, 50 pieces of jade, 15 boxes of gold and silver jewelry, and 60 Ferghana horses.

A Bao tightly grasped the betrothal gift list and could not help but sigh: Although the old emperor did not know how to be a father, he was willing to protect her dignity as the crown prince of the Eastern Palace of Daqi.

When she got married, the old emperor opened the royal treasury and took out hundreds of boxes of treasures.

This list of betrothal gifts is very generous, far exceeding the previous practice.
