Chapter 399 How to Compete with His Peerless Charm 44

"The Prince of Wei might still be alive..." Li Yao looked up at Xu Zan and Wu Qiuhong, then quickly lowered his head.

Xu Zan's eyebrows flashed with surprise when he heard this. He pressed his fingertips on the lid of the teacup, his eyes full of emotions, and many thoughts flashed through his mind, "Hahaha, so that's it."

He seemed to have figured something out, and the look he gave Li Yao became more kind, with more smiles on his face:

"Yao'er is smart and a good kid. Tell Grandpa Xu what else you have?"

Li Yao felt a little helpless, his eyes full of help, and he subconsciously looked at his grandfather.

Li Jun understood what he meant and came to the rescue: "Yao'er, just tell me, if you speak well, your Grandpa Xu will not treat you unfairly." As he spoke, he gave Li Yao an encouraging look.

Li Jun looked at Xu Zan with a smile and said, "General, thank you for your help."

As they were both thousand-year-old foxes, Xu Zan naturally knew what Li Jun was thinking. He just wanted to ask for a gift for his own youngster, which was understandable in his opinion.

Xu Zan's smile remained unchanged: "Yao'er is going to get engaged soon, right? A few days ago, the Xu family got a piece of top-quality mutton-fat jade from the Western Regions. It is warm and delicate, just right for carving into a set of head ornaments. Let's consider it as an engagement gift for Yao'er in advance."

Wu Qiuhong also spoke up: "Miss Li is smart and insightful. The Imperial Concubine has also prepared a piece of Kesi Luo for Miss Li."

Kesi Luo is one of the most precious fabrics in Daqian and its quantity is extremely rare. Every year, only the empress in the palace can get five pieces, the imperial concubine can get three pieces, and the other favored high-ranking concubines can get one piece, that's all.

Li Yao's eyes were full of surprise, and he bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Xu, Eunuch Wu."

After the ceremony, Li Yao shared the evidence she had found and some of her own speculations.

Everyone fell into deep thought.

Xu Zan: "In this case, His Majesty's birthday banquet is a good time to take action..."

Li Jun: "What the general said makes sense, but there is no guarantee that Prince Ji will not make some moves..."

Wu Qiuhong sneered, his eyes cold and grim: "Your Majesty's birthday, the palace will have a banquet, and all the countries will come to congratulate. Our family will ensure that the palace banquet is perfect. As for the rest, it depends on you two."

At the end of his speech, Wu Qiuhong's face was full of smiles again.

Xu Zan and Li Zhun: "Of course."

……

A conspiracy is brewing in this courtyard. No one knows what will happen on Emperor Chengming's birthday a month later, but everyone is waiting for that day.

So are Nan Xiang and Ji Qingchen.

But now the two of them are not in the palace, but in a courtyard, which is the courtyard where Qiu Tianhai was previously settled.

At this time, the two did not discuss their birthday plans. Instead, one of them sat quietly on a chair, while the other sat opposite him, picked up a paintbrush and painted with a smile on his face.

The hibiscus flowers in the yard are still blooming quietly and warmly, stacked up layer upon layer, pink and white like butterfly wings, with longing and love strong between morning and night.

"Is the painting done? My neck is almost sore." Nan Xiang looked at Ji Qingchen and blinked, her eyes full of hope.

Ji Qingchen's voice was gentle, and the paintbrush in his hand sped up: "Almost done."

Without waiting for Nan Xiang to say anything, Ji Qingchen immediately put down his paintbrush and said, "Okay."

Nan Xiang immediately stood up and came over to see the work Ji Qingchen had drawn for her.

Perhaps he was too excited and stepped on the table leg, then threw Ji Qingchen to the ground.

At the moment of falling, Nan Xiang did not react, his brain was in a state of shutdown, and a hand seemed to subconsciously protect him quickly.

It's him.

Nan Xiang looked at the face so close to her. Her features were gentle, with a worried smile on her lips. Her breath was warm, making her heart beat faster.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Nan Xiang quickly reacted and stood up to leave, avoiding his gaze and bouncing his body. He stood in place and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Ji Qingchen:

"Ah Xiang, are you shy?"

The tenderness in Ji Qingchen's eyes remained unchanged, his voice was soft and filled with gentle coaxing. He stood up slowly and looked straight at the little girl who didn't dare to look him in the eye. The smile on his lips deepened, gradually becoming more gorgeous and charming like a fluttering hibiscus.
