Fu Tinghan quickly said there was no need, "Our country is currently impoverished, and our wedding should not be extravagant. Therefore, the betrothal gifts and dowry should be kept simple, to avoid setting a trend that burdens the people."
Princess Hongnong asked, "Do you think you and Zhao Hanzhang can already influence the country's customs and people's ethos?"
Fu Tinghan frowned slightly, but his previously tense heart gradually relaxed. He finally raised his head to look at Princess Hongnong seated opposite him and said calmly, "Naturally, she is now the helm of the court, and her every action and word can lead the country's customs and the people's ethos. Besides her, local customs are mostly followed by the common people who emulate venerable elders and gentry, whereas the gentlemen and gentry often face the court's norms."
