Chapter 86 Gift
Su Zhenzhen glanced at the little palace maid with a half-smile, then looked at Rong Jinchen and said, "Don't be tired, Chenchen, let's go see our mother." She took Rong Jinchen's hand and shook it gently.
Rong Jinchen looked at her tenderly, squeezed her delicate little hand in his palm, and inserted his big hand between her fingers. "Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, he took her hand and walked in.
The little palace maid bit her lips, leaving deep marks on them, which turned them white. She just stood there in a daze.
It turns out that His Royal Highness Prince Yan didn't remember her?
Rong Jinchen really had no impression of her at all. Not to mention that he didn't even have a palace maid to serve him personally after he was seven years old. She was just a second- or third-rank maid in his mother's palace, not even a female official. How could she be worthy of being remembered by him?
Gu Heng sneered at her as he passed by and glanced at her casually.
On this side, Su Zhenzhen was holding the incense lit by Rong Jinchen and burning incense towards the tablet of Queen Yuanyi, muttering to herself: "Mother, I am Su Zhenzhen. You can rest assured and leave Chenchen to me. I will treat him well." Hearing this, Rong Jinchen and Gu Heng were in tears.
Rong Jinchen's eyes were filled with emotion and joy, while Gu Heng was filled with relief. His Highness, whom he had watched grow up, had now reached adulthood and would soon marry and have children. He had no objection to Su Zhenzhen's argument about the role reversal and wished she would treat his Highness better.
So he would have to give the little palace maid a good scolding later, so as not to make the princess unhappy.
Rong Jinchen paused, his slender hands interlocking with Su Zhenzhen's. "Mother, this is my future wife, Qingqing. She's a very, very, very good girl. You'll definitely like her very much. Today is my coming of age, and I can't wait to bring her to see you."
"You always said in the past that I was old-fashioned and boring like a little antique, and that no girl would like me in the future. But I met Qingqing, who thought I was very cute, and we fell in love with each other." Rong Jinchen couldn't help but speak more.
Su Zhenzhen's eyes lit up slightly, and she subconsciously clasped his hot big hand, "Mother, Chenchen is so good, I like him very much." Although the feelings were not deep, they still existed.
Gu Heng was even quietly wiping away tears. It was not easy for his prince.
Su Zhenzhen looked at Rong Jinchen, who usually didn't talk much except to her, and chattered to her mother about the interesting things that happened when they met and got along.
But she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for this man who lost his mother at a young age. She wondered if she was about to fall into this trap.
After burning incense, Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen took a nap in a side hall. She was a little tired after walking for such a long time.
Rong Jinchen looked at her slightly sleepy face, his brows slightly furrowed, "Qingqing, it's my fault." He reached out and wiped away the tears from her eyes, "How about taking a nap in the side hall?"
Su Zhenzhen was stunned and shook her head, "No, no." She was not a person without propriety. Who would burn incense to the future mother-in-law until she fell asleep?
In this way, no matter how much His Majesty likes her, he will inevitably have some opinions, and she is not stupid.
Although His Majesty loves her and her family, she is not stupid enough to challenge His Majesty's bottom line.
She casually changed the subject and asked, "Chenchen, where is the gift you said you would give me?" She had been waiting for seventeen days.
This efficiency is even slower than hers. Although she gave away the sachets she embroidered herself, she worked for three days and dried the net for two days, only working for half an hour a day, and also fiddled around here and there, and only got two in total.
Without saying a word, he started pulling his clothes, which scared Su Zhenzhen.
Then she realized that Rong Jinchen was not the kind of man who would lose his sense of propriety in critical situations, and Gu Heng was still there, so she put her mind at ease.
Looking closely, Rong Jinchen was not about to undress, but reached in with his big hand and took out a sachet that carried his body temperature.
Su Zhenzhen:!!!
It’s actually a sachet?
Such a precious thing, it must be knitted by myself!
This is more thoughtful than the modern boys who knit scarves for their girlfriends!
After all, embroidery needles really hurt!
She took it lovingly while Rong Jinchen was leisurely tidying up his clothes. Su Zhenzhen looked at the moon-white sachet in her hand in amazement: the hovering golden dragon was lifelike, and it was holding a crabapple flower carefully in its arms, stroking it with its claws with gentle eyes.
She quickly raised her head, her sparkling eyes full of admiration. This man actually spent just over half a month to embroider a sachet that was even more beautiful than hers. It was really like comparing yourself to someone else, it was so infuriating.
Not to mention that he had to discuss reforms with His Majesty and her father during the day, so he was only free at night.
It was indeed the case that Rong Jinchen had the best embroiderer in Prince Yan's Mansion teach him face to face from a distance in the study at night.
Gu Heng and Gu Cheng were there from beginning to end, so they were not alone. Even though the embroiderer was over 30 years old, he still had to avoid suspicion.
Su Zhenzhen listened to what Gu Heng had recounted, and her heart softened. Her clear eyes were filled with mist, and she couldn't help but put her arms around Rong Jinchen's waist.
The soft voice was tinged with tears, "Chenchen, I suddenly found that I like you a little more." She met such a good man, and even someone as selfish and cold as Su Zhenzhen couldn't help but be touched by him.
Rong Jinchen held her in his arms, lowered his neck to look at her little head surrounded by pearls and jade, regretting that he could not touch her hair with his hands. His Adam's apple rolled and he whispered: "Qingqing, are you so stingy? Can't you be a little more? Qingqing, can you pity me more, okay?" His tone was gentle and affectionate, and his eyes were full of doting.
Su Zhenzhen looked up and saw his eyes that were as bright as stars. Her heart was pounding. Gradually, she seemed to hear her own heartbeat become heavier and she subconsciously leaned against the man's chest.
She listened to his powerful heartbeat, opened her cherry lips slightly, and rubbed her little face against his brocade robe, "It depends on your performance."
She thought for a moment, then removed the panda sachet she was wearing and pulled out a jade ring with her and his words engraved on the inner ring. "Chenchen, this is my birthday gift to you."
Rong Jinchen couldn't let go of the ring and quickly threw his original ring to Gu Heng.
Gu Heng caught it quickly and held his forehead helplessly.
His Highness, could you be any less valuable?
His face was very gentle, which made Rong Jinchen look even more handsome, and his voice was so gentle that it seemed like water could drip out of it, "Thank you, Qingqing, I like it very much." When he had fought with Xie Cijing before, he learned that the tokens they had given each other after their engagement had been returned, but Rong Jinchen was still a little petty.
Fortunately, Qingqing never gave Xie Ci the mirror sachet and ring.
He doesn't want anything that other men have.
Su Zhenzhen's tone was very gentle, with curved eyebrows, "Chenchen, happy birthday." His throat tightened, his eyes became deeper, and he leaned over and kissed her snow-white cheek.
Gu Heng looked up at the exquisite and luxurious carpet on the ground at the right time and counted the patterns on it.
Su Zhenzhen raised a sweet smile at the corner of her lips. Suddenly, she remembered that she had put on a thin layer of powder today. "Chenchen, don't kiss me. I'm wearing makeup." Thinking of how she had just rubbed his arms, she pouted and said, "Quick, get me a mirror."
It’s over, it’s over. How can she face people with her makeup ruined?
