The emperor suddenly remembered that Yuan Hui offered a lot of dowry.

If Ning Yue married into Prince Jin’s residence in the name of the legitimate princess of Russia, wouldn’t the dowry enter their treasury?

“Emperor of Great Yun, I seem to remember such a rule. If two countries are married, no matter how much the dowry is, the other party’s betrothal gift has to be of the same value, right?” Yuan Hui asked.

Oh! Someone really gave him a pillow when he was sleepy.

Very good, very good!

“Yes, yes, yes. Of course,” the emperor said.

He was still thinking about how he would arrange the dowry after it entered the warehouse. Little did he know that his actions could be said to have fallen into Yuan Hui’s trap.

“Jiang Ying is a very noble child and values friendship very much. I’ve decided to add ten thousand taels of gold to the dowry!”

Yuan Hui’s words made the emperor so happy that he was almost confused. Such a good thing was about to happen to him.

“But!” Yuan Hui’s sudden turn was equivalent to pouring a bucket of cold water on the emperor’s enthusiasm.

Usually, nothing good would happen after that.

“Jiang Ying rejected this marriage. I think your Great Yun Nation is filled with people with noble character. In that case, I’ll give the dowry to Princess Mingyue directly,” Yuan Hui said.

What? The emperor’s eyes were about to split open. There was so many dowry. Why was it given to Ning Yue directly?

He wanted to say no but if he refused, wouldn’t that mean he had no morals?

Ah! The emperor roared in his heart. How could Yuan Hui do this?

Looking at the emperor’s defeated expression, Yuan Hui was secretly delighted. He smiled and talked about the dowry with the emperor again.

The emperor listened to him until he felt unwell.

So much money. He had given so much money for nothing! His treasury!

The national treasury could not withstand such consumption. What should he do? Could it be that he had to tell Yuan Hui directly that the Great Yun Nation did not have so much money?

No, no. Wasn’t this equivalent to exposing his shortcomings in front of others?

If the Black City Kingdom found out that the Great Yun Nation did not even have the money to welcome a bride, wouldn’t that give them a chance to attack?

The emperor was angry and anxious. Where could he get the money?

Looking at the emperor, Yuan Hui continued to work hard and said to Jiang Ying, “Kid, remember this. After you get married, you have to take care of your family more. Don’t be so poor as before that you can’t even afford a decent gift.”

Jiang Ying was stunned. Why was he talking about him again?

“Also, don’t think about keeping any private savings. Once you’re married, you have to care about your family and treat Yueyue well. Understand?”

When the emperor heard about his private savings, he was stunned. Yes, yes, he had a small vault!

He had saved money for decades! He would have to say goodbye to it soon.

Jiang Ying was enlightened. Yuan Hui was reminding the emperor that he had a small vault and could pay from it.

“Alright, I’ll listen to Uncle. I’ll definitely treat Yueyue well. In the future, I’ll prioritize Yueyue,” Jiang Ying said with a smile.

The emperor was almost fuming with anger. Jiang Ying was helping outsiders but he was Jiang Ying’s uncle!

If Jiang Ying knew what the emperor was thinking, he would definitely say, “Uncle Emperor always wants to find money from me to supplement military supplies. I’m almost broke. Uncle Emperor won’t let me off.”

“Emperor, do you want to stay here tonight? Let’s discuss the matter of joining forces to resist the enemy.” Yuan Hui stopped while he was ahead.

Although attacking the emperor of Great Yun could make him secretly happy, he could not force the emperor into a corner. It was fine as long as it was suitable. Otherwise, if anything happened later, it would be very difficult to end it.

“I…” The emperor didn’t know what to say. He was confused by the dowry.

“Tomorrow. I’ll send someone to bring you into the palace,” the emperor said with a dark expression.

He had to go back and count the money in his little vault. After a few days, he would never see it again.

As soon as the emperor left, Yuan Hui laughed loudly.

“Uncle, did it feel good?” Ning Yue asked.

“Ahem, a little. I’ll give you the money,” Yuan Hui said with a smile.

In Russia, there was no such thing as men being superior to women. Women could be officials or emperors. He was considering whether to hand the entire country to Ning Yue.

However, these things could wait.

“By the way, Jiang Ying, I’m going to the general’s residence to visit Grandmother tomorrow. Come with me,” Ning Yue said.
