Empress Running Away with the Ball!

“Ning"er, let"s play with some riddles, alright?”

Mo Chuan took a deep breath and spat it out . He controlled the thoughts of his mind, knowing that he had to shift his mind . If he kept looking at her like this, he wouldn"t be able to control it .

“Riddles? Alright, how do we guess and what riddles?” She turned her eyes as if guessing his thoughts while also letting out a sigh of relief .

“Come with me . ”

Mo Chuan smiled as he took her hand and went to a corner of the palace . There was a pile of beautiful crafted boxed there, with big and small ones all mixed together .

“What is this?” Chen Ning asked in a curious voice .

“These are the congratulatory gifts the ministers gave us . Let"s not look at the list of gifts and try to guess what kind of gifts the ministers gave us, how about it? There"s a prize for guessing right and guessing wrong has a punishment . ” He said with a smile .

“Guessing each box? This is a rare thing, I won"t be able to guess it . ” She smiled as she stuck out her tongue, but there was an eager look in her eyes .

“If you can"t guess, you"ll accept your punishment . I punish you to… . . help me wash my back later . ” He said with a mischievous smile .

Chen Ning looked at him, “Then if you lose, I don"t want you to help me bathe . You"re dreaming!” Her face couldn"t help turning red .

“Alright, then you can punish me by making me take off your clothes, alright?” He deliberately teased .

“Mo Chaun!” She stomped her foot .

He was also a bit embarra.s.sed . This kind of frivolous laughter, he had never done something like this before, but not knowing what it was today, he couldn"t help blurting it out .

Perhaps it was because he would go into the nuptial chambers with her soon .

His heart was excited and his mind was filled with this matter .

Mo Chuan gathered his mind and took the top present on the pile, giving it a look .

“I"ll guess first . I"ll drink a cup of wine if I guess wrong and you"ll drink it if I guess right, how about that?”

She nodded with a smile and looked over at the box, “Alright, we"ll do that . Yi, this was given by the Empress Dowager . Why would the Empress Dowager give us this kind of present?”

Mo Chuan tested the weight of the box . The box was around the size of a palm and the golden lace was intricately done . Just by looking at the box, one could tell that the item inside was even more expensive .

But this box was not heavy .

He guessed, “I"m guessing it"s a piece of jewelry . If not a hairpin, it"s a beaded hairpin . ”

“I feel you definitely guessed wrong . How could the Empress Dowager give something so normal? I don"t believe it . ” She shook her head with a smile .

Mo Chuan smiled without saying a word as he opened the box . They saw a purple red cloth placed over a scarlet gold beaded hairpin . The beads were the size of a pinky and the beads were slightly golden, releasing a warm glow . Under the light of the candle, it was incredibly beautiful .

“Such a beautiful beaded hairpin!” Chen Ning wasn"t someone that liked jewelry, but seeing this kind of skillful artwork, she couldn"t help praising it .

“It isn"t as beautiful as you no matter what . ” Mo Chuan took the beaded hairpin and inserted it into her hair .

The beads made a clear and pleasing clacking sound . The light reflected by the beads made her face even more beautiful .

Chen Ning caressed the beaded hairpin and revealed a smile, “Alright you were right . I lost, I"ll drink . ”

She drank the wine in one breath . Seeing the proud look on Mo Chuan"s face, she couldn"t help saying, “Humph, you cheated, don"t think that I can"t guess it . This beaded hairpin must be worn by the Empress Dowager when she got married and it"s pa.s.sed down, so you could guess that that she would give this beaded hairpin to her future daughter in law . ”“Ning"er, let"s play with some riddles, alright?” Mo Chuan took a deep breath and spat it out .
