"It seems like every time I'm in the most embarrassing situation, I'm seen by General Li." Yan Ruqin herself didn't know what kind of evil fate this was.
Li Muyuan didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, he took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Yan Ruqin: "This is for you."
Yan Ruqin took the small box with some reluctance, opened it and saw a pearl flower inside.
The Yan family didn't really want Yan Ruqin to come back, so they didn't buy any dowry for her.
Whether it was the last time she went to Jizhao Temple to pray for blessings, or the day before when she came to attend the full moon banquet, there was no decoration in Yan Ruqin's hair, which was so plain and inconsistent with the surroundings.
Li Muyuan himself didn't know why he bought this Zhu Xi, but when he saw Yan Ruqin, he had the answer.
Yan Ruqin didn't expect Li Muyuan to give her a pearl, which was very beautiful. Neither the current Yan Ruqin nor the previous Lingzhi had ever received such a precious and beautiful gift.
"General Li, I can't accept this Zhu Xi. You can take it back." Yan Ruqin closed the small box and returned it to Li Muyuan.
This light box felt heavy in Yan Ruqin's hand. She thought it contained Li Muyuan's love. But she couldn't accept this love.
Li Muyuan didn't answer: "Miss Yan, please keep it. This pearl suits you very well."
After saying this, Li Muyuan ran away without giving Yan Ruqin another chance to refuse.
Yan Ruqin looked at the small wooden box in her hand and put it away without opening it. Some things are destined to be treasured only in the heart!
Soon, the full moon banquet began. The first to come out were Emperor Jing of Wei and the Queen Mother. Everyone paid their respects to the two first, and then Queen Consort Shu appeared with Su Siyi.
After taking his seat, Emperor Jing of Wei looked around and asked, "Is Concubine Yun not here yet?"
"I heard that the prince's son was a little noisy this afternoon. I guess Concubine Yun will have to coax him into submission before she can bring him here." Concubine Shu replied calmly.
Emperor Jing of Wei nodded and said: "Chengsi is in poor health and usually very quiet. I have always been worried about him, so it's good for him to be a little noisy."
It can be heard that Emperor Jing of Wei really likes Prince No. 1 very much.
Su Jinwei's eyes darkened. Why did the emperor favor the prince so much? Could it be that he had given up on himself and wanted to train a new crown prince?
This thought has been lingering in Su Jinwei's mind recently, and he is almost driven crazy.
"Your Majesty, since Concubine Yun and Chengsi will not arrive for some time, why not announce another matter first?" said the Queen Mother.
These words made everyone worried. What else could happen at the full moon banquet?
Emperor Jing of Wei nodded, and then said: "The Crown Princess has been bedridden for a long time. The imperial physician said after examining her that she should rest and not worry about anything. The Crown Prince's mansion cannot be left unattended, so the Queen Mother and I are thinking of choosing a concubine for the Crown Prince."
As soon as these words were spoken, the young ladies from noble families who knew the inside story became very excited. This person was called the Crown Prince's concubine, but once she entered the house, she would definitely be the Crown Prince's principal wife.
Those who were unaware of the inside story also had their own calculations in mind. If they could become the Crown Prince's concubine, it would be extremely beneficial to the family.
Su Chenyu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, hiding the sarcastic smile on her face.
The Crown Princess who was "bedridden" was being held in a dungeon and interrogated day and night. She would rather be dead than alive.
But Emperor Jing of Wei was able to gloss over the situation and make everything sound so righteous.
As for the young ladies from aristocratic families present here, how many of them don’t want to climb up the social ladder?
