The Fourth Prince, who wanted to get away with it, was surprised. How did Luo'er know?
Then he forced a smile, "Father, this hairpin may look simple, but it's actually not cheap. Besides, a small gift is worth a lot of thought. You can't use this gift as a measure of how much I value Luo'er!"
The emperor slammed the table heavily and said, "I don't understand women's jewelry, but I'm not a fool. I'm afraid this broken hairpin of yours can be seen everywhere outside the palace. How dare you use it to fool me?"
