Chapter 66 Gifts

Soon it was the end of the year. The palace was full of joy, and Xuanchen could finally come back normally - in the month before the year, Xuanchen came back very late every day. When it was late, Yuyu often fell asleep in the hall. Later, Xuanchen told her not to wait for the night and not to drink tea. She only stayed until the end of the year every day. Go to sleep.

At the end of the year, Xuanchen went to the palace to watch the New Year, but Yuyu did not follow. After having dinner with several left-behind maids, they sat in the yard and looked at the fireworks outside... It was so beautiful... Many of the maids gathered outside to watch the fireworks. Only the maids of Jiulingyuan were very well-behaved and only stayed in the yard. Yuyu didn't have any acquaintances outside, so he just stayed like this. Looking at the lively fireworks all over the sky, Yuyu was thinking, what are father, mother, brother and sister doing now? The family must be very lively. Everyone sits together and has a reunion dinner together. In this world... Time in this world should not flow... It's so lonely...

Thinking about it, I suddenly heard a moment of ** at the door. It turned out that Xuanchen came back, followed by Zhu An. There were two little eunuchs behind, carrying a small box. Yuyu stood up and greeted him with Qing Song.

"Bry back some fireworks and let's play them by ourselves." Xuanchen said lightly.

"Ah, that's great." Yu Yu laughed.

The maids in the courtyard have come out. Helping to open the box to get fireworks, the girls were so timid that they only dared to put small fireworks, and there were a few big ones. Xuanchen asked Zhu An to set them off. For a moment, the yard was extremely lively. Yuyu held a cold flame similar to a fairy stick, happily painted in the air and wrote a happy New Year. Xuan Chen smiled and said, "The words have improved."

Yuyu found that he seemed to be very happy tonight, and his smile was warm, and he said in a good mood, "Of course, if I have studied with you for so long and haven't made any progress, isn't it your reputation?"

As he was talking, the big fireworks over there ignited. With a bang, Yuyu covered his ears with fear, and then looked up. Many gorgeous flowers bloomed in the sky for a long time. The light of the fireworks went out in the faces raised by everyone in the snow.

After the fireworks, everyone talked and laughed for a while. They heard the bell ringing from afar. When it was time, someone shouted to the restaurant to eat dumplings. Yuyu smiled and said to Xuanchen, "You came back early today. It turned out that the dumplings in our small kitchen came."

Xuanchen didn't answer, but said, "Come here for a moment." With that, he turned around and entered the room. The two came to Xuanchen's study while everyone was laughing. Yuyu rarely enters Xuanchen's study, which is elegantly decorated. Yuyu looked around and said, "I can help make dumplings today. The whole set, from noodles to chopping stuffing to making. The craftsmanship is good. I also want to try it myself. By the way, we also wrapped the money, and I can't eat it when it's too late. Oh, your study looks good every time you come in.

Xuanchen smiled and listened to her chatter and said lightly, "Okay, I'll eat it right away." Do you like it? Take what you like."

"Ha ha, how dare I do it? Besides, a gentleman doesn't take away people's beauty."

Xuanchen didn't answer, but just smiled and handed over a box, "Look, do you like it or not?"

Yu Yu looked at Xuan Chen and took it curiously, but it was only half a foot long. When he opened it, it was a silk agate gold hairpin. It was stunned. The exquisite carved gold hairpin was wrapped in a very beautiful agate with gold wire at the top. The lotus root was pink, crystal moist, shining, very beautiful. Yuyu picked it up. Come on, look at it again and again, "It's so beautiful." With that, he looked at Xuanchen again, "Is this?"

"A New Year's gift for you."

Yuyu looked at the beautiful agate and giggled, but said politely, "It's not good. Isn't it expensive?"

Xuanchen looked at her love and stared at the agate obsessive look, but she said something bad. She couldn't help laughing, reluctantly put up with it and said, "It's okay. If you like it, just put it away."

"Ah... that, that... thank you." I wanted to be modest a little more, but I was really afraid that Xuanchen would repent, so I quickly agreed to accept it and smiled, "It's very beautiful, thank you, it's really beautiful. Is this an agate?" In fact, I don't know much about it. I'm not sure.

"Ye-huh." Xuanchen nodded with a smile. The little girl didn't know her at all and liked something. It seemed that she liked this bead. Although the carving on the golden hairpin was actually very difficult... However, this agate was indeed more rare. I also saw it by chance. At first sight, I thought that she might like it and took it. The door was sent to the famous golden building to make a hairpin. Thinking of this, Xuanchen looked at her again. It was really too plain. It was just a hair bundle or the most ordinary hairpin every day. It was rare for her to wear head flower ring earrings, and the occasional earrings were also very ordinary.

The jewelry box she brought when she moved here. At that time, Qingsong opened it and said that there was only one set of the simplest jewelry in it. When she left the Jingfei Palace at that time, most of the jewelry concubine Jing was rewarded, and she had never worn it. I never saw what she wanted. I thought she didn't care. Later, on the hunt, I happened to hear that she was full of praise for her sister's jewelry. At that time, she wanted to say that it meant that Xuanze loved her sister very much, but she thought that she might also like it. Why didn't she wear it on weekdays? I think the conditions at home are not allowed. Indeed, Lord Li is too straightforward. Thinking of this, Xuanchen couldn't help sighing in his heart.

He looked up at the appearance of the agate attentively turning over and over again, and couldn't help but feel cute. The little girl was looking at the light.

"What? Is it false to worry? Xuan Chen made fun of it.

I didn't expect Xuanchen to say such a thing. Yuyu couldn't help but be stunned, and then ridiculed, "Don't worry, I can't tell if it's fake, and I haven't seen the real one." Then he smiled shyly and said, "I just think it's good-looking. Even if it's fake, it doesn't matter. Isn't it just a good-looking one?" He said and put it away carefully. Let's go eat dumplings."

Xuanchen nodded, stood up and walked out with her. "I'll go back to the room and put this away first. You can go there first."

Xuanchen nodded and went away.

That night, Yuyu ate the money and thought happily. Sure enough, didn't she receive a beautiful gift today? After eating, I lay down and fell asleep quickly.

The Lantern Festival is coming. Yurou entered the palace with her already pregnant belly. Yuyu was surprised and happy. Seeing that her sister looked very good, she was very gratified and relieved to know that the eldest prince treated her very well. The two sisters talked for a long time at the lantern in the palace. Until Yurou had to leave, Yuyu kept sending her sister to the palace gate. Seeing that the eldest prince personally helped her leave carefully, Yuyu returned to Jiulingyuan, she kept humming and smiling at the corners of her mouth. Anyone who sees it knows that she is in a good mood.

"Are you so happy that you haven't figured out a lantern riddle this year?" Xuanchen smiled and teased her, and also knew why she was so happy. It was just that the child's lantern riddles in previous years were extremely positive. He always had to come back with a lot of things, and then he was happy for a long time. He didn't know that many people deliberately pretended not to guess this kind of lantern riddles. Xuanchen had a headache when she took her there last year. I didn't expect this girl to cause such a limelight again this year.

"Well, but as you said, it's a pity that those gifts should have been mine, alas." Yu Yu said melancholy.

Xuanchen is funny, "So, I'll make it up for you." With that, he took out a small box from his sleeve. Yu Yu stared at him with wide eyes, "Ah! Ah! Did you win the lantern riddle?

Xuanchen lowered his eyelashes and said, "Yes."

Yu Yu took it and opened it. It was a pair of golden earrings. On the exquisite golden earrings, there were two gold threads hanging down, and two peach-red gems fell below, and there was a little glitter. "This... Is this also agate?"

Xuanchen paused, "Bixi."

"Oh, no wonder, I said, the New Year's agate doesn't seem to be so bright. Wow, how can the lantern riddle give you a gift here? Isn't it the same for both men and women?"

Xuanchen hasn't answered yet, and Yuyu has asked himself, "Oh, but I think so. You all have a lot of girls to give." Then he immediately turned his eyes and said playfully, "How much have you won this year?"

Xuanchen paused for a moment and easily kept up with her thoughts. "That's it."

"Ah...that..."

"It doesn't matter. I have nothing to give." Xuanchen replied lightly.

"Oh... It's so miserable, then I'll take it, thank you! Oh, it's really good to go out with you. Yuyu sighed.

Xuanchen looked at her frown and smiled, and the depression in her heart gradually dissipated. Well, as long as she was happy, didn't the ultimate goal also be achieved?

Next, in this year's big festival, Yuyu can always receive various gifts from Xuanchen. From jewelry to decoration, looking at the gradually full jewelry box, Yuyu is very happy. Her most commonly used is a hair bundle of mutton fat jade, which is very beautiful jade, shiny and white, and always looks like it is coated with grease. It's the best jade. When I took this, no matter how dull Yuyu was, he knew that it was a very valuable thing, and he really hesitated for the first time, "This... is very expensive."

At that time, Xuanchen just answered fluently, "No money."

Yuyu thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth and said carefully, "It can't be... someone else gave it to you." Yu Yu actually wanted to say it was a bribe, but he didn't dare to offend him.

Xuanchen looked up at her, and his eyes gradually became cold. He said lightly, "It's not an inexplicable way to come from. If you don't like it, then throw it away."

Yu Yu was so scared that his heart was cold, and he finally put it away. For this reason, when Xuanchen saw her the next day, his eyes were cold. It was not until the third day that Yuyu put on this hair bundle and a pair of jade earrings he gave her before that Xuanchen's face warmed up.

Yuyu couldn't help slandering when he thought of this. This man had a bad temper. However, he is really discerning. These jewelry are simple and exquisite, which is very suitable for Yuyu. And... Although it is given one by one, many of them are very suitable and can be used as a set of head noodles. The appearance is very unique, and I have basically never seen the same one. The more I read Yuyu, the more I like it.

How does Yuyu know that those "stones" that she thought were ordinary were collected from everywhere by Xuanchen. She cherished them very much. Her tourmaline stone earrings are easy to get, but like the pair of gorgeous pink crystals in her hand are extremely rare.

The most precious is also the first hairpin that Xuanchen sent her. The agate is very pure lotus root pink, so big, the color is uniform and full, the whole body is crystal clear and flawless, moist and flowing, which is really the best. This is also the first time that Xuanchen "buys" things from officials under his jurisdiction. Although he has paid enough money, Xuanchen knows that some things can't be bought by paying.

Over the past year, officials, big and small, were excited and filial because they found that this cold-faced prince also had something they liked. Xuanchen is extremely principled. He is still good at picking people. Of course, he also picks things. Except for the agate and the mutton fat jade hair bundle that time, most of his things are still bought through others.

On this day, Xuanchen went to sit in Jingfei's palace and drank Jingfei's flower tea, but he was in a daze.

"Are you thinking about drinking green tea again?" Jingfei said indifferently.

Knowing what she said, Xuanchen only lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Flower tea is also good."

"It's just not to your taste." Jingfei said calmly, "It's just a dull thing like green tea. Do you need those gems to serve?"

Xuanchen knew that he couldn't hide his family from Jingfei, and he didn't want to hide it from her. "I just like it myself."

"Hmm." Jingfei sneered and then said calmly, "You can do whatever you want. I don't care about this, as long as you remember your identity."

Xuanchen paused for a moment, and his eyes seemed to slip through a trace of pain and confusion. Finally, he was covered under his eyelashes and could not see. When he raised his eyes again, he had returned to the deep calm as always. "Always remember." With that, he put down the tea cup and said goodbye.

Concubine Jing held the tea cup and watched him go away. Finally, she just sighed heavily.
