The attendants put all the gift boxes in her room, placing them on the floor if they couldn't fit on the table, and then opened them one by one.
Mu Yunzhu saw it and scolded: "Why are you opening it?"
The attendant paused and said, "Then Princess, won't you choose?"
There are many things in here that I haven’t seen clearly.
Mu Yunzhu waved her hands impatiently: "Take them all away, don't let me see them."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly fixed on one place: "Wait."
She stopped the attendant who was about to take the box, bent down and took out a jade hairpin from a box, which seemed exactly the same as the one in her cousin's hand just now.
She looked at it carefully for a while, then looked at the box. There were more than a dozen jade hairpins, each of which was finely carved and each one looked more beautiful than the one in her hand.
The box in front of me contains a jade hairpin, next to it is a jade bracelet, next to it are an agate bracelet, a gold jade bracelet, a pearl necklace, a pearl and jade hairpin... At first glance, each box is dazzlingly beautiful, while the jade hairpin in my hand looks cheaper the more I look at it.
Mu Yunzhu's appearance and status meant that she had no shortage of men pursuing her. Many people gave her precious gifts just to win her favor, but no one had ever given her so much at once, as if it were free.
What exactly does Princess Xuanyang want to do?
Many people in the capital were paying attention to Princess Xuanyang's movements. It was hard to ignore the feat of Xiao Li leading his men out in such a grand manner and sweeping away everything along the way.
A senior researcher on Princess Xuanyang even went around to every place and made a rough count of the things she bought.
The amount was shocking. It was tens of thousands of taels of gold, an astronomical figure that others could not earn in their entire lives. Princess Xuanyang spent it all in one go, and she even spent it on a princess from another country.
It’s really rich and willful!
The desire to become Princess Xuanyang's husband has become stronger.
Mu Yunzhu had just learned the news when Liu Xueyin came to see her, wearing a plain white dress and the jade hairpin on her head.
Liu Xueyin's brows were tightly furrowed, as if she was forever filled with sorrow. She looked frail and pale, and I felt pity for her when I looked at her.
"Yunzhu, I heard Xuanyang gave you a lot of things."
Mu Yunzhu had a cold face, and her beautiful fox eyes were icy: "What does this have to do with you?"
Liu Xueyin frowned even more because of her tone. Although she knew that Mu Yunzhu didn't like her, she couldn't just watch her being deceived.
"Xuan Yang is not a good person. She must have a conspiracy. Don't be fooled by her. Return everything she gave you."
Mu Yunzhu sneered: "She is not a good person, are you a good person?"
Liu Xueyin's face was grim, but she still insisted, "Yunzhu, I know you don't like me, but don't forget that your cousin and her have an irreconcilable feud."
Mu Yunzhu looked suspicious, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind: "Of course I know, but my cousin didn't say anything. Why are you so anxious? Could it be that you have been bullied by her too?"
The hatred in Liu Xueyin's eyes was so strong that she couldn't conceal it at all in an instant, and her face, which had always been indifferent, was distorted.
Mu Yunzhu felt that it was not just a matter of bullying.
But before that, Liu Xueyin never mentioned a word about being bullied. Instead, she always talked about the hatred between her cousin and Xuan Yang.
Mu Yunzhu narrowed her eyes, her gaze stern. "I said you usually don't want to talk to me, but you kept telling me about my cousin being hurt, several times in a row, as if you were afraid I wouldn't remember."
"Do you want me to avenge my cousin or you?"
Mu Yunzhu has a bad temper, but she is not stupid.
My cousin told father that he failed to seize the throne and was wanted and left, and he did not mention Princess Xuanyang at all. Even when he saw her coming back today with the things Princess Xuanyang had given her, he told her not to provoke her.
But Liu Xueyin came to find her when she was in Chirong, and said that her cousin was bullied and murdered several times by his sister Princess Xuanyang and almost lost his life.
He was crying as he spoke, which made people feel that my cousin was really pitiful.
Now it seems that I don’t know how much truth there is in this.
Liu Xueyin's intentions were exposed, and she couldn't help but say in shame and anger, "Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask your cousin. She did try to harm me several times, but I will avenge my grudge against her myself."
The look of stubbornness and ambition with his chest puffed out made Mu Yunzhu feel nothing but ridicule.
It’s not that Mu Yunzhu looks down on others. She looks so sick that she can’t lift anything with her hands or shoulders, and she would fall down when she walks.
She just feels sad all day long and waits for her cousin to bring her everything. She talks about taking revenge on her own, but what can she use to take revenge?
Mu Yunzhu disdained to argue with her, but instead raised her hand and pulled out the hairpin on her head.
"What are you doing?" Liu Xueyin exclaimed.
Mu Yunzhu looked at it carefully and found that it was exactly the same as the one she got, with the same texture and pattern. It might even come from the same store.
"Give it back to me." Liu Xueyin reached out to grab the hairpin, but she was too anxious and lost her grip, so it flew out.
“Bang!”
The moment it hit the ground, it broke into pieces.
As luck would have it, Xiao Jingyu arrived. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, the jade hairpin fell and broke in front of him.
Mu Yunzhu was stunned for a moment. She just took a look and didn't say he wouldn't return it to her. Why was she so excited?
But she didn't take it seriously. If a hairpin was broken, it was broken. At worst, she could just buy another one. What was the big deal?
However, Liu Xueyin felt as if the sky had fallen. She staggered forward a few steps and bent down to grab the broken jade pieces.
"ah......"
Her hand was pierced by the fragments and started bleeding instantly.
Xiao Jingyu's expression suddenly changed, and he grabbed her hand: "Don't pick it up."
Liu Xueyin pushed him away, grabbed the broken pieces, stood up and ran out crying.
Before Xiao Jingyu chased after her, he did not forget to look back at Mu Yunzhu. Although he did not say anything, his expression was full of warning.
Mu Yunzhu: "..." What's that look in his eyes? It wasn't her who fell.
It's like eating a fly and being unable to swallow it or spit it out.
"Ale Falcon."
A young guard wearing a mask walked in, dressed neatly in black and coldly said, "Princess."
Mu Yunzhu opened her lips, wanting to say something, but remained silent for a long time.
Her cousin is her aunt's son. Her father admires him and wants to compensate him, but along the way, she really didn't see that her cousin had the ability to soar into the sky like an eagle. Instead, he was getting more and more adept at coaxing people.
----
In the plot, when Xiao Jingyu's identity was revealed, he was already the emperor.
When Mu Yunzhu was sent to marry, she saw that he had become the emperor. She was impressed by his imperial majesty and her heart fell in love with him.
But now everything has been advanced. Not only does Xiao Jingyu have to rely on her father to help her seize the throne, but she also has to coax people regardless of the occasion when pursuing her career.
They are husband and wife, and it is normal for them to love each other, but they often quarrel and coax each other like this every day.
It's hard not to doubt whether he has what it takes to be an emperor.
