I fought back after reselling my engagement

The eunuch led a group of palace servants and guards carrying large and small boxes and strode into the main courtyard through the vacated passage. When they arrived at the flower hall, they said in a loud voice: "The emperor has orally ordered: Princess Jiarou will be blessed with great fortune after surviving a great disaster! Now that I heard that the princess has reached the age of marriage, I will grant her a hundred taels of gold and a certain amount of cloth."

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace! Long live the Lord!"

The eunuch said, "Princess Jiarou, please don't be polite! In addition, the Empress, the Empress Yuan, the Empress Shu, the Ninth Princess, and all the concubines have given me jewelry, palace robes, and some clothes!"

Zhen Su faced the direction of the capital, "I thank the Queen for the reward! Thank you, Queen Yuan, Queen Shu, Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess, and all the concubines!"

Su Qinniang looked at the boxes of all sizes in the hall. There were so many palace dresses, cloths, and jewelry. Just these rewards from the empress would cost at least 100,000 taels of silver. It was a fortune. No wonder every family would hold a grand ceremony for their daughter's coming of age. They could earn enough to buy all the dowry in one ceremony.

Princess Changle shouted, "Prince Gong's Mansion sends Jiarou a gift for her coming of age! A thousand-acre imperial estate in the southern suburbs of the capital! A pearl shirt from the previous dynasty, and thirty thousand taels of silver!"

Princess Shouning raised her eyebrows again and again, and tilted her head to look at Princess Changle who was dressed in red. Is Prince Gong, the eldest uncle, crazy to give a thousand acres of imperial farm as a gift?

No, no, my great uncle Prince Gong would not do such an outrageous thing. He has two legitimate sons and three illegitimate sons, which makes five sons in total, and a large number of grandchildren. Except for the favored grandchildren, there are many others that he cannot even name.

The women in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

A lady whispered, "When Princess Jiarou was in the capital, she saved the grandson of Prince Gong who was stolen by a beggar. It is said that this child is the smartest among the grandchildren and the one most loved by Prince Gong. He is the lifeblood of Prince Gong's wife."

Prince Gong must have loved this grandson very much to have sent such a generous gift.

As soon as Princess Jiarou came of age, she became rich in an instant.

He is so rich, so rich that it makes people jealous.

There is an imperial estate of a thousand acres, and all of it is tax-free, and all of it is top-quality farmland.

Princess Changle continued, "Princess Dekang's mansion sent five thousand taels of silver!"

Shouning County Lady sang: "Princess Qingchun's mansion sent five thousand taels of silver!"

Seeing them giving gifts, Zhou Yiqing blurted out, "Grand Secretary Zhou's Mansion, give me a set of jewelry!"

These were originally her own jewelry, and she picked out an elegant set, but others gave them to her in the name of a family, so she had to change her mind.

Bai Ruizhu sang: "Bai Sanniang, the eldest daughter of Baihua County, gave me a tea mountain and a flower farm!"

Lu Yan said loudly: "The Second Prince's wife has granted Princess Jiarou two shops in the capital!"

He came in from outside, holding two boxes, one large and one small, in his arms: "The Second Prince's concubine gave me a Night Pearl from the East China Sea!"

Chunjiang took the two boxes.

Lu Yan approached and knelt on one leg, "I failed to protect the princess, please punish me!"

When he looked up, he whispered, "The Fifth Prince has caused quite a bit of trouble this time. The whole capital knows that he has a crush on you. For the sake of her son, Concubine Shu has requested the Emperor to grant her marriage several times. I have tried my best to hold you back, but I can only hold you back for a while, not forever. This generous reward, you know, is because the Emperor and the ladies treat you as a member of the royal family..."

He was talking in a low voice, and everyone in the hall was listening with their ears pricked up. Although he seemed to be lowering his voice, I'm afraid all the ladies and wives could have heard it.

Zhen Su knew very well that he was playing tricks. In this way, even powerful officials would not dare to compete with the royal family for the wife. The emperor and the empresses would treat her as a member of the royal family, a woman who would marry into the royal family. Who would dare to marry her?

"Lu...Lu Yan, did you do this on purpose?" Zhen Su gritted his teeth.

"I won't say anything, but there are rumors all over the capital that the Fifth Prince left the palace just to pursue a beauty. The Concubine Shu has been so worried that she has lost her appetite recently. The Princess of Chiayi County had originally granted the Fifth Prince a marriage, but now because of the Fifth Prince's disturbance, the Rong family is a little embarrassed..."

Zhen Su shouted, "Shut up!"

"I won't say anything, but something has happened. If I hadn't intervened, the Fifth Prince would have disrupted the coming-of-age banquet. Do you know what he did? He took away all the royal estates, shops, and garden deeds that the Emperor had bestowed upon him over the years. He was going to use these things to express his feelings to the Princess, and get you to agree to marry him."

Zhen Su was startled and blinked, "Is he... drunk?"

"It's not the wine that makes people drunk, people make themselves drunk. Ever since the Fifth Prince became addicted to the beauty wine, he has been very drunk. The Concubine Shu is such a virtuous and decent person, she is almost sick because of him." Lu Yan half-knelt on the ground, "The princess's marriage should not be delayed any longer, what do you think?"

Zhen Su immediately slammed the table and said, "Get up now!"

Lu Yan said solemnly: "The mighty general Lu Yan will give all the 33,000 taels of silver he has saved from eleven years of military service to the princess as a gift!"

Zhen Su was so angry that her face turned pale. He handed her a cloth bag, and she whispered, "Don't take it!"

"The gift is so long, how can I not accept it?"

Zhen Su asked, "Does Aunt Lu know that you are making such a fuss?"

"I know. My mother said that money is nothing. Marrying a wife is more important. Spending tens of thousands of taels to marry a wife is worth it!"

"The mighty general Lu Yan sent his savings of 33,000 taels as a gift!" Lu Yan shouted at the top of his voice.

Chunjiang and Chunyue stood there without moving because Zhen Su ordered them not to collect the items.

Lu Yan sang again: "The mighty general Lu Yan sent his savings of 33,000 taels as a gift!"

Zhen Su gnashed his teeth, his expression changing again and again, pretending to be indifferent, "Lu Yan, is this fun?"

"This is so interesting. I just don't understand. The Fifth Prince didn't even say a word to you, so why did he come all the way here?" Lu Yan sang again: "The mighty General Lu Yan sent his savings of 33,000 taels as a gift!"

Seeing her almost collapsed eyes, I pretended to be indifferent earlier. If she insisted, she would accept it.

Lu Yan sang again: "Mighty General..."

Zhen Su snatched the cloth bag, opened it immediately, counted it again and again, and found that it was indeed a gift of 33,000 taels of silver. He said, "You ignored your parents and siblings and gave away all your savings for a woman who had no interest in you."

"Money is just material possessions." Lu Yan replied.

"If I believed you, that would be really strange!" Zhen Su annoyed him, "Now that you have savings, why don't you buy a farm with your parents and family?"

Lu Yan said: "My parents don't want to live in the new manor, saying that they are used to living in Lujia Manor."

Zhen Su waved his hand and said, "I'll take the three thousand taels of silver. The farm my mother left behind is adjacent to Lu's farm. I'll give it to your family, and they won't refuse to move in."

Lu Yan said: "I don't care about what happens between you and them! But I have performed the ceremony, so you have to accept it. There is no reason for you to give me Zhuangzi again." He walked away. He had accepted it even if he didn't want to, so there was no way he could take it back.

After receiving his generous gift, given her personality, she will remember it every day and will recall it as soon as she sees the money. Haha, the fifth prince used this trick, called "sense of presence", he will also use it, and will not let the fifth prince use it.

Zhen Su was so angry that he yelled, "Lu Yan, you bastard!"

Swearing is good, it means she is angry, and it is unusual for her to be so angry that she would curse.
