"Of course, Lotus, did you hear that? The Prince told you to hurry up and burn the letter, and scatter the ashes too."
Prince Yu then asked, "What about the ginkgo leaves?"
Gu Jiangli: "Of course we should burn them together! Who would use ginkgo leaves as a token of love? That's so stingy! If it were a prince, he would have to plant two rows of ginkgo trees in the courtyard as tokens of love to be worthy of his status."
Seeing that the prince showed no sign of anger, Lotus felt relieved and took out the leaf and the letter.
Inside the room, Prince Yu took out two things from his sleeve: a square box and placed it on the table, and a long box and took out a hairpin from it.
"This is a piece of fine mutton fat jade that was recently unearthed in the mine. I carved it and made it into a hairpin. I didn't give you anything when we got married, so I'm giving you this as a make-up gift."
Gu Jiangli's eyes lit up.
Mutton fat jade! One of the four famous jade stones, it's incredibly valuable!
A few strands of gold thread are inlaid around a piece of translucent jade, making it look noble and luxurious.
"This...Your Highness, did you make it yourself?"
"Yes, the process wasn't too difficult, and it didn't take much time."
Unexpectedly, Prince Yu was quite skillful; such meticulous work could not have been done without considerable effort.
Prince Yu really put a lot of thought into her.
"Thank you, Your Highness! I really like it!"
Prince Yu's face flushed. "I'll put it on for you."
Gu Jiangli lowered her head and let Prince Yu put the hairpin in her hair. She sat in front of the mirror and admired herself for a while. It was indeed extremely handsome!
She caught a glimpse of a small square box on the table out of the corner of her eye and asked, "Your Highness, what is that? Was it also a gift from someone else?"
"Well, it's inconvenient for that person to give it to you himself, so he asked me to bring it to you."
He opened the box; inside was a jade pendant.
It was inconvenient to deliver it to her, so they actually sent Prince Yu to deliver it on her behalf. What a great honor!
Gu Jiangli asked in confusion, "Who sent it?"
"emperor."
