Chapter 50 Xie Xuanyin gives her a gift!
Inside the hall.
Xie Xuanyin threw several brocade boxes on the table as soon as he entered the room.
He sat down to the side, picked up his teacup, and didn't even glance at Shen Ruoli. He just said in a low voice, "A few days ago, you sincerely prayed for a peace talisman for me, my father, and my mother. This is a small token of my appreciation."
Looking at the exquisite brocade box on the table, and then at Xie Xuanyin, who seemed rather awkward no matter how you looked at him…
Shen Ruoli picked up the brocade box. "Why is Your Highness being so formal today? Ah! Hetian mutton fat jade!"
She was both surprised and delighted, and carefully took out the mutton fat jade bracelet from the brocade box.
The jade bracelet is as if it were formed from snowmelt from the Tianshan Mountains. It is pure white and glows faintly in the candlelight, like the first rays of dawn.
"Without the slightest impurity, it is of the highest quality! No! It is a rare and exquisite product!"
Shen Ruoli gently stroked the jade bracelet; its warmth and smoothness penetrated to her very bones, leaving a silky sheen on her fingertips that vanished in an instant. The inner surface was perfectly round like the moon, the outer curve flowing smoothly like water—flawless!
Seeing how much she enjoyed it, Xie Xuanyin put down his teacup, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
In his previous life, he had given her many nice things, but he had never seen her like them so much!
It turns out that even though they had been husband and wife for two lifetimes, he didn't understand her at all!
He's not even as good as Xie Xuansong!
He frowned, and the trace of gloom quickly disappeared.
Do you like it?
"Of course!"
Shen Ruoli handed the jade bracelet to Xie Xuanyin and then extended her left hand to him.
Xie Xuanyin did not hesitate and put the jade bracelet on her fair and slender wrist.
The alabaster white on her wrist, like her personality, was lustrous and understated, radiating a quiet brilliance.
"You're a perfect match."
This comes from the bottom of my heart.
Shen Ruoli smiled, her eyes curving like crescent moons, and Xie Xuanyin subconsciously followed suit with a smile.
"Your Highness is too kind! But Your Highness has excellent taste! I know these things must be very valuable, but Your Highness and I are husband and wife, and I am very happy that Your Highness has chosen such a thoughtful gift for me!"
As she spoke, Shen Ruoli naturally leaned closer and kissed Xie Xuanyin on the cheek.
Xie Xuanyin's pupils dilated, and the word "bold" stuck in his throat.
"You... really like jade?"
"It's alright."
Shen Ruoli didn't notice his unusual behavior. "I wouldn't say I like him that much."
Xie Xuanyin feigned composure as he watched Shen Ruoli continue opening the other brocade boxes. "You don't like them? But I see that you seem to have quite a deep understanding of jade."
"It's just..."
Shen Ruoli paused, then subtly changed the subject, "This hairpin is so beautiful!"
She picked up the hairpin from the brocade box, brought it close to the bronze mirror, and excitedly tucked it into her hair. "Your Highness, you've really gone all out today, haven't you?"
Seeing that her affection was genuine and not just a perfunctory gesture, Xie Xuanyin felt a surge of joy.
This was the first time he had ever given a gift so earnestly.
This gift is based on "comparison" and "crushing".
Unexpectedly, it was a mistake that led to Shen Ruoli's heart!
His warehouse is overflowing with such fine things!
Xie Xuanyin had already decided in his heart what to send to Shen Ruoli tomorrow!
Seeing her happy expression, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
wrong!
As he thought about it, Xie Xuanyin couldn't help but tense up.
He clearly wanted to seek revenge on Shen Ruoli!
Why are you still thinking about what gift to give her tomorrow to please her?
Thinking of this, Xie Xuanyin yanked the hairpin off Shen Ruoli's head and threw it into the brocade box. "I thought you had seen too many good things and didn't care about these vulgar things I gave you."
"After all, the person who understands you best is none other than the King of Chu!"
Shen Ruoli was taken aback.
Why is this man suddenly unhappy again?
She picked up the hairpin again, but this time she didn't put it in her own hair. Instead, she inserted it directly into Xie Xuanyin's hair crown!
"what you do!"
Xie Xuanyin was furious, but before he could pull out the hairpin, he was "threatened" by Shen Ruoli: "If you pull it out, I'll sleep with you tonight!"
Xie Xuanyin froze. "What did you say?"
This woman is getting bolder and bolder these days!
How dare you say such unrestrained things!
"No matter where you sleep tonight, I'm sticking with you!"
Shen Ruoli stared wide-eyed to show her determination.
Xie Xuanyin: "..."
Knowing she's shameless, I knew she was capable of doing something like this.
So he had no choice but to withdraw his hand, giving her a cold glance. "Shen Ruoli, don't be so presumptuous!"
"Tell me, what's wrong now?"
Shen Ruoli crossed her arms, looking displeased. "They were fine just a moment ago, and even gave me a gift! Now you get angry so easily, the weather outside changes faster than you!"
Xie Xuanyin remained silent.
"If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Feng Qing."
Shen Ruoli let go and tried to leave.
Xie Xuanyin instinctively grabbed her.
Shen Ruoli raised a triumphant smile, then deliberately let her legs go weak, and effortlessly and skillfully sat in his lap!
Xie Xuanyin was speechless.
"Xie Xuanyin, what are you doing? Hugging and cuddling like that, what kind of behavior is this!"
That's what she said, but instead of getting up, Shen Ruoli wrapped her arms around his neck!
Xie Xuanyin: "..."
He spread his arms to indicate that it was Shen Ruoli who was clinging to him like a monkey, not him hugging and cuddling her!
"Shen Ruoli, I've noticed that you're getting more and more shameless."
If he hadn't been given a second chance at life, he would never have known that this woman had this side to her!
He knew that if he didn't tell, Shen Ruoli would definitely cling to his neck and wouldn't get down.
Maybe she'll still be hanging like this when she goes to the morning court tomorrow!
Therefore, Xie Xuanyin could only frown and say, "Just now, someone from the Chu Prince's residence came and said that the Chu Prince sent you his treasures. I have seen them and they are just a few broken stones."
He even took the opportunity to mock Shen Ruoli—
"It seems you're not so highly regarded by the King of Chu, who sent you a bunch of broken stones."
In contrast, the fact that he gifted her the finest jade was a world of difference!
Shen Ruoli: "...Your Highness the Crown Prince has always been wise. Why do you believe whatever others say today? The Prince of Chu is far away in Fuzhou, and the person who came is someone from the Princess of Chu's side."
"Doesn't Your Highness know perfectly well who sent me this pile of broken stones?"
He was just deliberately trying to mock her!
Shen Ruoli continued to cling to her, "If the Princess Consort of Chu wants to bully me, does Your Highness also want to bully me?"
She pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved. "I am His Highness's person. Does His Highness just let her trample on me like this?"
"Do you really think I don't know what the leap month has done?"
Although that girl was extremely fast, Xie Xuanyin wasn't stupid!
"However, the Princess Consort of Chu deliberately waited until I returned before explaining their purpose. They even dragged the Prince of Chu into it... Heh, it seems this Princess Consort of Chu is quite interesting."
Shen Ruoli saw the dangerous glint in Xie Xuanyin's eyes, yet she deliberately went against the grain. "Is she interested, or am I?"
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort of Chu has given me such a 'generous gift.' How do you think I should reciprocate?"
Before Xie Xuanyin could speak, Shen Ruoli's eyes lit up, and she immediately thought of how to retaliate against Song Xuerou!
