"The princess doesn't intend to send her away?"
"Since she is the family member of your savior, how can you not repay this kindness? Forget it, as long as she stays obediently from now on, I won't bother with her."
"Very well, I will warn her. If she does it again, I will not allow her to stay in the manor."
"kindness!"
"Alright, you can go back now! I need to take a bath and rest as well."
"Your Highness, are you sending me away already?"
"Otherwise what? Do you have something else to say?"
"If I were to say that I wish to stay with you tonight..."
"Hey, Qin Mohan, don't push your luck! I... I only said I could try to accept you, I didn't say I'd accept you right now," Ye Qingcheng said shyly.
Qin Mohan smiled after hearing this: "Your Highness, what are you thinking? Although I said I was going to stay with you, I didn't say I wanted to do anything with you!"
"You...you're so glib."
Isn't that so?
"You... alright, I don't want to talk to you anymore." After saying that, Ye Qingcheng turned around and left.
However, Qin Mohan stopped her, a smirk playing on his lips: "Your Highness, don't you want to know why I'm not leaving?"
"Why...why should I know? Anyway, I'm not keeping you here."
"I originally intended to tell the Princess Consort what kind of birthday gifts to send for the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, but it seems..."
Oh well! Never mind.
Since the princess dislikes me so much, then I will simply leave.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng was taken aback.
Huh? Birthday banquet? I almost forgot about it if Qin Mohan hadn't mentioned it.
"etc!"
"Your Highness, are you reluctant to part with me?"
"Tch, stop trying to talk your way out of this young lady's mouth." Ye Qingcheng said, rolling her eyes at Qin Mohan.
"Your Highness, what are you saying? When have I ever been joking with you?"
"You... Hmph, hurry up and tell me."
"Say? Say what?"
"You... Qin Mohan, that's enough!"
Seeing Ye Qingcheng's angry expression, Qin Mohan smiled and said, "Although the princess is wearing a veil, I imagine she must be quite beautiful when she's angry."
"Alright, alright, are you going to talk or not? If you're not going to talk, then you can leave! I don't want to keep you here anyway."
Let's go!
"Go? Where to?"
"Of course we'll go to the dining hall."
What are you going to the dining hall for?
"I am not full yet, so of course I need to go eat. I will also take the opportunity to tell the Queen Consort about the Queen Mother's preferences and the various relationships in the palace."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought, before nodding.
"good."
Then.
The two returned to the dining hall.
After sitting down.
Qin Mohan didn't speak immediately. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks, took a dish, and put it into Ye Qingcheng's bowl.
"Qin Mohan, weren't you going to say it?"
"No rush, Your Highness, let's fill our stomachs first."
"You... I've already eaten my fill."
"Then shall we have a little more together?"
Ye Qingcheng was speechless after hearing this. She glared at Qin Mohan, but still picked up her chopsticks and put the food in her mouth.
I don't know if it's because I was just angry and full, not because I was full from eating, or what.
Ye Qingcheng also started eating again.
The two spent about half an incense stick's time.
Ye Qingcheng didn't put down her chopsticks until she felt truly full.
Seeing this, Qin Mohan also put it down, a smile playing on his lips.
"Your Highness, does this finally feel like you've eaten your fill?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng was taken aback.
At this moment, she finally realized it.
It turned out that Qin Mohan wasn't actually hungry, but rather he realized that she wasn't truly full, but rather full from anger.
So it seems he deliberately stayed to have another meal with her!
Thinking about this...
A sweet feeling flashed through Ye Qingcheng's heart.
She never expected that Qin Mohan, the cold-faced prince everyone talked about, would be so thoughtful.
At that moment, she felt not only sweetness but also deep emotion.
Even so, in order not to let Qin Mohan see through her thoughts, she still deliberately rolled her eyes at Qin Mohan.
"Tch, I'm only keeping you company because I know you'd feel uncomfortable eating alone."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan's lips curled into a slight smile: "Oh, then I thank the Princess for her company."
"No need for that, I have my own uses anyway."
"Well! If that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony with the Princess."
"Alright, alright, can you tell me now?"
Qin Mohan smiled and nodded.
"Actually, I have already prepared the birthday gift for the Empress Dowager, so you don't need to worry about it."
"Huh? You're ready?"
"kindness!"
What have you prepared?
"My grandmother has never liked expensive things, and she has long been tired of seeing all the rare treasures in the palace."
Therefore, I sent Thirteen to Yunling Temple to obtain a string of relic beads, which you will present to him tomorrow.”
"Relic beads?"
"kindness!"
"Isn't this too shabby?"
"No, Your Highness, you may not know, but this string of prayer beads is no ordinary string of prayer beads. It is said that this string of prayer beads has been passed down for a thousand years."
It is made up of 108 relics strung together, each of which represents a high-ranking monk. It is extremely precious and not something that ordinary people can obtain.
The Empress Dowager was a devout Buddhist, and the gift of these prayer beads suited her perfectly.
"Qin Mohan, you said that each Buddhist bead represents a high-ranking monk?"
"That's right."
"So, those prayer beads are relics left behind by eminent monks after their passing?"
