"Hehe, as long as you like it, Master," the servant said, scratching his head and trying to please him.
Qin Xi picked up the blood jade bracelet, compared it to her wrist, and frowned.
She was fair-skinned, but the blood-red jade bracelet looked unnatural, as if it were an unhealthy pale color.
After thinking for a while, she shook her head: "I don't like it."
Lu Huai: "Let's take another look."
The servant then introduced several more sets of headdresses to them, but the two men disagreed, which troubled him.
"That's all?" Lu Huai asked the servant with a stern expression, clearly annoyed.
"Sir, it's not that I don't want to find you something. It's just that... these are already some of the best pieces of jewelry in our shop," the servant said with a troubled expression, not daring to offend this little tyrant.
The tyrant snorted coldly, his eyes darting around, still threatening the servant: "I don't care about these things. You said yourself that you're sure... what is that?"
He suddenly stopped.
Qin Qi looked in the direction he pointed and saw a set of jewelry.
The jewelry set was placed at the far end of the storage cabinet, already in a box, but not yet closed.
"Go and take it down for a look," Lu Huai instructed the servant directly.
The servant looked utterly miserable, his face contorted in a grimace: "Master, this..."
Lu Huai kicked him directly: "Hurry up!"
The servant was startled by his kick and, not daring to offend him, quickly took off his jewelry and placed it in front of the two men.
Overall, this is a very elegant set of jewelry. The gold hairpin and gold hair ornament are inlaid with crystals, which sparkle in the sunlight; the earrings are also crystals, two different styles, which are very beautiful; the bracelet is milky green, and after comparing them, Qin Xi felt it suited her perfectly.
“It looks pretty good,” Lu Huai nodded, then turned to Qin Xi and asked, “Do you like it?”
Qin Xi smiled and said, "I like it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Huai waved his hand generously and said, "Wrap it up!"
"Master...this...this...this won't do!" The servant was extremely distressed. Of all the other sets he had his eye on, he had to choose this one.
Qin Xi turned her gaze away from above and asked, "Was it reserved by someone?"
The servant nodded: "This set of jewelry was just ordered by Princess Shanlai, who said she would come to pick it up soon. I was packing it when I saw you two esteemed guests arrive, so I put down what I was doing."
Princess Shanlai, whose given name was Zhao Mingmiao and courtesy name was Shanlai, was the orphan of the deceased Third Prince. Emperor Yuming's father had five sons, but now only Emperor Yuming remained; the others had either died in battle or from illness, leaving no offspring.
Qin Xi had heard that Princess Shanlai had never liked going out since she was a child, so she had never seen her many times.
"Then so be it," Qin Qi said with a touch of regret, stroking the jewelry with affection.
Seeing that Qin Xi liked it, Lu Huai acted foolishly: "It doesn't count, it's rare that you like it."
“A gentleman does not take what others like,” Qin Xi smiled and comforted him, “Since it has already been reserved by Princess Shanlai, I will find another one.”
"Yes, yes, yes," the servant nodded hurriedly, not expecting the second young mistress to be so understanding.
Lu Huai kicked him again, "What do you mean 'what'? I've never been a gentleman, nor do I care to be one. Since she hasn't taken it yet, she's still hesitating. If I say I want it, then it has to be mine."
The servant was extremely worried. This little tyrant never reasoned with anyone. What could he do?
