Chapter 49 Gifting Jewelry
They are all jewelry!
Gold threads are intertwined, pearls and jade shine together, and the head jewelry is all meticulously carved and glittering.
Song Zijin was shocked. Did they ransack the entire treasure house?
"See what you don't like." Xiao Linyuan sat on the edge of the bed and said softly.
"?" Song Zijin thought he had misheard, "Your Highness wants to ask, which one do you like?"
Xiao Linyuan shook his head, "Pick out the ones you don't like, and throw the ones you don't like back into the warehouse."
He said it easily, as if this pile of gold, silver and jewelry were something that could be thrown away at will.
Song Zijin swallowed his saliva and asked, "Did the prince buy these?"
"No, these are some spoils captured on the battlefield. I originally brought them back for Mother, but Mother said they were suitable for younger girls, so they have been stored in the warehouse. I promised to give them to you yesterday."
In fact, the old princess's original words were to keep him so that he could get married.
He didn't know what the future would hold between them, but at this moment, he just wanted to give her the best.
Nowadays, silver is extremely important to Song Zijin, but it is limited to silver.
For her, this kind of gold jewelry cannot be sold, and she cannot pack it up and send the gold axe to her family, so it is not worth much whether she wants it or not.
She was dazzled by the choices and finally chose a very thin bracelet that was not heavy but was exquisitely made.
"This is it." She smiled and waved it towards Xiao Linyuan, "Just one, don't take the rest..."
"Pack the rest and send them to the west wing." Xiao Linyuan interrupted her and made the final decision.
Song Zijin was dumbfounded, "I want this one, nothing else!"
She has several heads. If she takes turns wearing them every day, it will take months to finish.
Xiao Linyuan deliberately misinterpreted her meaning, "Just now, I told you to pick out the things you don't like. You took this bracelet, doesn't that mean you don't like it?"
"No, I like this!"
"Well, since you like it, then stay."
“…”
Was she tricked?
For the first time, Song Zijin felt that he was not good at speaking.
Also, who is so overbearing when giving gifts!
Xiao Linyuan sat aside, watching her distressed look with interest, and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Mianmian, what are you worried about?"
Song Zijin turned his head away and ignored him.
"Hmm?" Xiao Linyuan didn't get annoyed, but tilted his head to look at her from below, "Are you worried about not having nice clothes to match?"
"No way!" Song Zijin said angrily.
She has a wardrobe of new clothes.
The little face was already red, and now it was plump, like a ripe fruit, making people want to taste its sweetness.
The voice was so soft and sweet that Xiao Linyuan felt itchy in the heart and his mouth was dry.
Not daring to look any further, he stood up hastily. "Yesterday, I was the one who picked up the fish for you. I caused you great suffering. I'm sorry. These are my apology. And this, too."
Song Zijin opened the box and found the blood Ganoderma lucidum he had obtained from Emperor Guangxi.
"I thought you would like this thing, so you can do whatever you want with it."
After giving his instructions, he strode away in a hurry, as if running away.
The girl he liked was covering himself with his quilt. Thinking that the quilt would be stained with her fragrance, he felt hot all over. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would be caught.
The self-control that I once prided myself on always proved vulnerable in front of her.
Song Zijin pulled up the thin mulberry silk quilt that had been covering him at some point last night and let out a sigh.
I wonder how the secret guards who are looking for medicine are progressing...
Her heart was in ups and downs, and she didn't know whether she wanted the secret guard to come back earlier or later.
——
According to Liao Yan, Song Zijin had to rest in the house for at least three days, and ensure that he was not exposed to wind and not tired during these three days.
This stumped Song Zijin.
Outside, Xiao Linyuan was concentrating on handling government affairs. Knowing that he had good hearing, she didn't dare to make any big movements for fear of disturbing him.
But she couldn't lie down at all.
It was not easy to ask Fu Yue to come in and talk to her. It was so boring and every moment was torture.
But my skin is very itchy during the recovery period, so I have to scratch it secretly for fear of disturbing him.
She felt that she was not here to recuperate, but to go to jail.
But who can be as lucky as her, to be able to go to jail and still get paid?
What's more, there is so much gold.
She tried to make the best of a bad situation by rubbing against the head of the bed, which eventually attracted people from outside.
"Your Highness..." She immediately sat up straight, looking like a good baby.
Xiao Linyuan brought over a chessboard.
"How about we play a game of hands?" he asked.
The voice was as gentle as water, causing Song Zijin to cough several times.
Xiao Linyuan put down the chessboard, poured a glass of warm water, and patted her back with his big hand.
"Be careful. How can you choke yourself just by listening to a word?"
His movements were so gentle as if he was patting precious crystal glass, afraid that if he hit the person too hard, he would break it.
The gentler he was, the more Song Zijin felt like he had seen a ghost.
Are you treating her like a three-year-old?
"Your Highness, I'm fine." She dodged his touch.
Xiao Linyuan frowned slightly, his throat tightened. When will the little thing learn to rely on him?
"So you can play chess?"
Song Zijin nodded, "Yes."
In less than a cup of tea, Xiao Linyuan realized how empty the "meeting" she mentioned was.
The night watchman's clock ticked slowly and steadily.
Xiao Linyuan held the black piece, and his slender fingers paused above the chessboard for a moment, as if he was deep in thought.
The light shone on his handsome profile, outlining a perfect outline.
With a "click", the black piece landed gracefully in the corner and killed the enemy.
"It's your turn." He looked calm, as if he was playing chess with a scholar.
Unexpectedly, Song Zijin hurriedly moved the black piece away and said dissatisfiedly: "Your Highness, you can't play here. I will play here later!"
Xiao Linyuan exhaled lightly, trying his best to maintain his elegance——
This is the fifth time she has said this!
There are so many things that can relieve boredom, why did he choose to play chess!
"Then I will stay here." He could only put Heizi back in a cramped corner.
Song Zijin was satisfied. He held a white piece and rolled it under his chin. After thinking for a long time, he placed the piece in the middle of the chessboard.
Xiao Linyuan seemed to have lost all his strength. "Aren't you going to do the same thing I just did?"
"You'll have to wait a while for that position~"
"...Which chess manual are you reciting?" Xiao Linyuan was a little crazy.
Song Zijin frowned and pondered for a long time before he answered unconsciously: "Brother Yan taught me this. He said it's easy to memorize."
"Brother Yan?" Xiao Linyuan's hand paused in the celadon jar, his eyes half-closed.
"Hmm..." Song Zijin mumbled, not realizing that the man opposite her had quietly changed his expression.
Is it Wen Yan?
According to the information provided by the secret guards, the person who used to live next to the Song family was Wen Kaiqing, the Minister of Rites. Wen Yan could be considered as Song Zijin's childhood sweetheart.
Childhood sweetheart… It was the first time he thought a word was unpleasant.
So the unfamiliar face who kept staring at Song Zijin at the palace banquet yesterday was Wen Yan?
The pretty boy has a frail appearance, and has no advantages other than his youth.
"Do you like this Brother Yan?"
"Hmm?" Song Zijin finally made a move and looked up at Xiao Linyuan excitedly, "What did the prince ask?"
"Nothing..." For the first time, he began to feel like escaping.
Once missed, it is missed. Wen Yan himself is useless, and his childhood sweetheart is useless too.
He thought darkly.
My chest feels so tight.
