Even if the Crown Prince of Western Qi didn't initially intend to marry her, he still ended up marrying her anyway. Such a grand betrothal ceremony and such an expensive dowry far surpassed even the weddings of princesses in this dynasty.
At this moment, she felt that she had regained all the face she had lost before, and she regretted her decision to marry Huo Sizhen even less.
She will marry into the family and become Huo Sizhen's concubine, eventually becoming a noble consort of Western Qi. Wealth and honor far exceeding the dowry will undoubtedly follow.
Moreover, she married the husband she loved, a true man with the most masculine qualities.
As for that Lady Shen, married to a high-ranking eunuch, what kind of good life could she possibly have?
She was a widow before marriage, and now she lives a life of widowhood!
That head of the Eastern Depot is so infamous, cruel and perverted, I wonder how many days she'll live if she marries him!
Although Princess De'an had been humiliated by Shen Lingjun before and was extremely jealous of him, she was now feeling smug and thought she had completely outshone Shen Lingjun.
After the betrothal, they went to Beiyi to prepare the dowry for Princess De'an to take to Xiqi.
She was marrying into the Western Qi as a representative of the Northern Yi, so her dowry would naturally be substantial and would need some time to prepare.
The next day, Princess De'an went out shopping with her maid to buy jewelry and clothes for herself.
The Ministry of Rites and the Prince of Jin's residence will prepare this dowry for her. Of course, she can also bring her favorite things with her, since once she gets married, she may never be able to return to Bei Yi for the rest of her life.
Princess De'an was in a good mood. She visited two of the most upscale jewelry stores in Kyoto and then went to the Glass Building.
Glass is something that Kyoto produces locally, something that Xiqi certainly doesn't have right now. She should bring a lot of glass products with her.
As soon as she entered the glass building, Princess De'an saw Shen Lingjun inside.
Shen Lingjun, accompanied by a maid, strolled around the shop, seemingly also buying things.
Princess De'an and Shen Lingjun had only met once or twice at banquets and gatherings before, but they were merely acquaintances and had no real interaction.
Although Shen Lingjun was present at the palace banquet last time, Princess De'an had just fallen into the water and was completely focused on Huo Sizhen, so she didn't pay much attention to Shen Lingjun.
Now that they've met here, Princess De'an gave Shen Lingjun a disdainful once-over.
She's not all that great. She's so old, already married and had children, she's practically a spent flower. I really don't know what Huo Sizhen saw in her that made him insist on marrying her.
Shen Lingjun sensed Princess De'an's gaze, turned her head, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Oh, so this is the princess who doesn't follow the usual path and is eager to marry into the Western Qi.
Shen Lingjun stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Princess De'an."
Princess De'an gave her a haughty glance. Although she wasn't actually as tall as Shen Lingjun, she still tried her best to make it seem like she was looking down on her.
No need for formalities.
Shen Lingjun smiled and said, "Princess, you've bought so many things. Are you preparing your dowry?"
When this was mentioned, Princess De'an became even more proud, showing no shyness whatsoever.
"Yes, yesterday Xiqi sent betrothal gifts to my family, and now I need to start preparing my dowry. I'm going to take a lot of things to Xiqi."
As she spoke, her gaze fell upon the large glass vase that was right in front of Shen Lingjun.
She asked provocatively, "Has Madam Shen taken a fancy to this vase?"
Shen Lingjun: "Huh?"
Before Shen Lingjun could react, Princess De'an called out, "Hey, I want this vase!"
