“I like it, I like it! As long as it’s a gift from you, I like it all!” After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she took the box that Su Qian had given her. She opened it and realized that it was a bracelet.
“Aiya, what material is this bracelet made of? How come I have never seen it before?” Looking at the translucent bracelet that was crystal clear and warm to the touch, the Empress Dowager asked in surprise.
The bracelet wasn’t as thick as jade. Instead, it was translucent and milky white. It was inlaid with golden threads. It was warm to the touch and looked exquisite.
However, the Empress Dowager had never seen the material of the bracelet before.
Princess Xuehua had appraised countless treasures. When she saw the bracelet, she realized that she didn’t recognize it either. She immediately concluded that Su Qian didn’t give anything good and said sarcastically, “I’ve never seen such stones before. Moreover, why are these stones of different shapes and sizes? Miss Su, what Imperial Mother gave you previously was a sixth-grade medicinal herb. Aren’t you being disrespectful to use such a cheap bracelet to fool Imperial Mother?”
“Xue Hua, why are you spouting nonsense again? This bracelet represents Qianqian’s sincere feelings. Regardless of its material, I find it beautiful.” The Empress Dowager bluntly rebuked Princess Xuehua before putting the bracelet on her wrist. She didn’t forget to say to Su Qian. “Qianqian, don’t listen to her. I appreciate your heartfelt gift.”
“Mother. You’re the Empress Dowager of a nation. How can you wear such a low-quality thing…” Princess Xuehua had just finished speaking when she heard the little girl’s soft snort.
“I think you’re the low-quality one here. Pretending to be knowledgeable but mistaking pearls for fish eyes!” Su Qingqing clutched her waist angrily and started to defend her mother. “My mother gave me a longevity stone. It’s a good treasure that can prolong life!”
The moment the three words Longevity Stone came out, everyone was stunned.
Just like what Su Qingqing had said, the Longevity Stone had the miraculous effect of prolonging one’s life. It was extremely rare. Even someone as n.o.ble as the Empress Dowager couldn’t recognize it, which showed how rare it was.
“Imperial Grandmother, Qianqian didn’t mean to deceive you. She just doesn’t want you to think that this gift is too precious. She’s afraid that you won’t accept it, so she specifically didn’t tell you the origin of this Longevity Stone. I didn’t expect that her good intentions would be used by someone with ill intentions.” Xiao Yan insinuated. His gaze towards Princess Xuehua was so cold that it seemed like it was about to freeze.
Princess Xuehua was so frightened that she dared not breathe loudly. She immediately looked at Su Qian with eyes filled with jealousy.
What Longevity Stone? She didn’t believe that Su Qian could get her hands on such a precious gemstone. This b*tch woman must be lying!
“Ninth Uncle, don’t say anymore. I don’t think this Aunty did it on purpose. She just doesn’t have much knowledge and likes to pretend to know what she doesn’t know.” After Su Ye finished speaking, he looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile. “After all, not everyone can be as discerning as the Empress Dowager.”
Even ignoring Su Ye’s mockery, Princess Xuehua almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She almost screamed, “You, what did you call me?”
Aunty? Who was the Aunty? She was a delicate flower-like young lady, so how did Su Ye call her an aunty?
Princess Xuehua couldn’t take it anymore.. If it weren’t for Empress Dowager and Xiao Yan, she would have rushed up and torn this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s mouth apart no matter what!
