The two girls looked at each other and laughed, both letting out a sigh of relief.
"That’s good, I heard the fifteenth Prince is the Nanzhao Emperor’s brother, an uncle-level figure. I’m just afraid he’s too old."
"Not old, not old, at the pri of his youth."
...
Zhao Yanzhong was having a pleasant conversation with the monarch and ministers of Zhuzhao in the Taihe Hall, and the Emperor was very pleased with him.
Originally, he felt guilty about sending Jin Liuying to marry abroad, but now that he sees the fifteenth Prince of Nanzhao is such a talented person, his guilt lessened a bit.
No matter how good the person is, she has to be satisfied herself. Now, he just hopes she will be satisfied.
As it was approaching lunch, the Emperor asked Eunuch Wan to prepare the al. Finally, Zhao Yanzhong privately handed a box to the Emperor, which was entrusted to him by Jin Zijin before his departure.
"What’s this?" the Emperor asked in surprise.
Zhao Yanzhong replied, "When I left Taihe City, your country’s eldest Prince handed this box, saying it was sothing from the eldest Princess for the imperial grandson."
The Emperor furrowed his brows, took the box, and handed it to Eunuch Wan.
"Let’s invite the fifteenth Prince to dine first, please."
Zhao Yanzhong glanced at the box but said nothing, then followed the Emperor into Hanyuan Hall to dine.
Eunuch Wan was a person of rules; items from other countries must be inspected by the Ministry of Rites before reaching the Emperor and his consorts, fearing there might be sothing harmful inside.
But since this box was privately given to the Emperor by the fifteenth Prince, it didn’t need to go through the Ministry of Rites.
However, such things couldn’t be inspected by the Emperor himself; it was naturally done by eunuchs like him.
Eunuch Wan took it to the side hall, opened the box, and saw neatly stacked papers full of writing, unbound.
He casually flipped through a few pages and found they were just so interesting little stories.
Indeed, they seem like sothing the eldest Princess would give to the little imperial grandson.
Now that the little imperial grandson is almost two years old, he might understand so small stories.
With a smile, Eunuch Wan put the papers filled with little stories back, repacking them into the box.
He thought, soone who can write such stories must be a person full of childlike innocence and have a delicate heart. The eldest Princess is such a person.
Because Eunuch Wan was delayed by these little stories for too long, Jin Liuying, who had been waiting in the Imperial Garden, couldn’t help but co in, just in ti to see Eunuch Wan holding a delicate box with a smile.
"Eunuch Wan!" Jin Liuying said unhappily, startling Eunuch Wan, who quickly said, "Oh, Your Highness Princess, this old servant is getting senile and montarily forgot about your matter."
"How dare you forget about this Princess’s matter?" Jin Liuying said angrily, seeing Eunuch Wan holding a box like a treasure, she pointed at it in surprise, "What treasure are you holding?"
Eunuch Wan hid the box behind him with a smile, saying, "This is not ant for you. It’s sothing the fifteenth Prince brought, said to be entrusted to him by the eldest Prince for the little imperial grandson."
"For Xuyao?"
"Yes, it’s personally written by the eldest Princess."
"Master wrote it?" Jin Liuying pushed Eunuch Wan into the corner, forcibly took the box, and said, "Since it’s written by Master, I must see it."
"Ah, Princess, please don’t, let it go. This old servant’s old bones can’t withstand your fussing, oh my waist..."
