After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Even though he had seen a lot of the world, the willow warbler, who had just made a bold statement, was frightened by this scene that seemed so real and unreal, and was speechless for a moment.

But look at the flickering candlelight in the precious lamp, reflecting on the crystal lamp wall and the glass beads, refracting a colorful and sparkling light.

After a long while, Liu Ying finally sighed softly, "I underestimated the extravagance of the noble family. Even in the palace, it is rare to find such treasures."

Ning'er shook her head, her eyes still fixed on the crystal lamp, unwilling to move away, her glass-like pupils reflecting infinite brilliance.

Only now did she understand why Chu Huan had said during the day that it was not convenient for her to take this gift.

"Sister is right." Her voice was very soft, but very sure: "This precious lamp is not something that the Marquis's Mansion can have."

Ning'er turned to look at Liu Ying, with a faint smile on her face: "This is his gift for my birthday."

Liu Ying suddenly realized that this "he" could not be anyone else but that "Master Chu".

Ning'er walked to the bottom of the lamp and looked up. She could see the words "Chao Ning" engraved on the horizontal partition at the bottom of the main axis.

She was not surprised at all. Instead, she laughed softly. It was Chu Huan's familiar handwriting again.

The light poured down, so bright and so soft, illuminating her whole body.

How much effort does it take to create such a unique crystal and glass lamp?

What kind of means were needed to transport it into the mansion intact and hang it quietly in his own corridor?

Ning'er's heart was filled with tenderness, so delicate, so thoughtful.

How could she not like such a gift?

The two of them admired it quietly for a while, and Ning'er turned to Liu Ying and said half-jokingly, "It's a pity that we can't keep it hanging here. Sister Liu is taller than us, so we have to ask you to help take it down."

Liu Ying smiled sweetly: "I dare not. If a piece of crystal is broken, I won't be able to pay for it even if I sell myself."

Ning Er pushed her away: "I won't let you pay for it."

Having said that, Liu Ying still rolled up her sleeves. Ning'er went back into the house and asked Chuncao to bring out a wooden ladder that the maids used every day, and she personally held it from the bottom.

Liu Ying climbed up swiftly and her movements were very steady, but she subconsciously held her breath.

At such a close distance, the gorgeous crystal chandelier looked even more fragile and delicate, making one wonder if it could be shattered with just one blow.

Fortunately, she had studied medicine since childhood and had very steady hands. Although it took some effort, she finally took the precious lamp down from the corridor safely.

Although it looks delicate, it is very heavy. If it were a weak girl, she might not even be able to lift it.

Liu Ying suddenly realized why the emperor went to so much trouble to get her to Ning'er's side. He must have anticipated that there would be times when he would need to put in some effort.

The spring grass below had already quietly found a soft rattan box, which was lined with brocade and thick silk cotton, just enough to hold this large palace lantern.

Liu Ying said, "Isn't it a pity to just put it away like this?"

Ning Er smiled and whispered, "Now that I am staying in the old lady's courtyard, how can I hang this outside so ostentatiously? When I move out, it will naturally see the light of day again."

Liu Ying wiped the sweat off her forehead with her embroidered handkerchief: "So, the girl is going to move out soon?"

Ning Er nodded: "The Marquis told me about this before. He said that in March, he would let me move out and live alone in a small courtyard with three entrances in the southeast corner."

Liu Ying said happily: "Then it's much closer to me. I won't have to go through so much trouble to find you again."

Unlike now, Ning'er lives in Songshou Hall, and he always has to consider the old lady when doing things, and it's not something he can just do.

Ning Er smiled and held Liu Ying's hand: "That's right, but the Marquis may not be back for a short time, so my move will have to be postponed."

Liu Ying didn't care: "What's the big deal? It'll only take ten days or half a month. By then it will be completely warm, and it will only be good for your body."

Ning Er thanked her for her hard work and urged her to go back: "I have kept you for too long. If you don't want to go back, just stay here and sleep with me."

Liu Ying glanced at Ning'er's room and said with a smile, "I dare not leave now. But you didn't inform me of your birthday in advance, so I can only give you this gift next year."

----

Compared to the happy atmosphere here at Ning'er, the Jiaotong Courtyard had become as cold as an ice cellar.

There was a bright red slap mark on the face of Cai Tao, who had always been favored. The young lady was so furious that the maids didn't even dare to breathe.

In front of Shen Ruyao's couch, cups, bottles, bowls and dishes were all smashed to pieces, and the woven Ruyi carpet was a mess.

Although several hours had passed since the incident, Shen Ruyao's shame and anger had not subsided at all.

She looked coldly at the girl kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say that you saw that girl and Yan Ling go out secretly? I treated you well, why did you want to hurt me like this!"

The little girl, who looked no more than ten years old, was already shaking with fear, completely losing any of her previous cleverness and spirit.

Because she knelt for so long, her voice was trembling: "Miss Yao, I really, really didn't lie!"

There was a sobbing tone in her voice, and she kowtowed several times: "It is absolutely true, my grandfather really saw it with his own eyes, how dare I harm the young lady!"

Shen Ruyao became even angrier when she saw how cowardly she was.

In the afternoon, she was waiting for good news from her mother in the room with great enthusiasm, but she did not expect to see Bai Juan with a solemn face.

Bai Juan looked at Cai Tao expressionlessly and told her mother about her punishment: "Madam said that Miss is restless and does not need to go out these few days. Please copy the sutras a few times to calm your mind."

Shen Ruyao couldn't believe what she heard and was about to go out to confront her mother, but was stopped by Bai Juan:

"Madam asked me to tell you, young lady, to think carefully about everything and not to jump into a trap set by others. Please learn to distinguish which of the servants' words you can trust and which ones will bring trouble to your mother if you believe them."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving Shen Ruyao stunned.

My mother has never said a harsh word to me and my brother, but now she is punishing me in such a harsh way.

After finding out what had happened, waves of anger and shame surged into Shen Ruyao's heart, almost bursting through her eyes.

She immediately determined that it was Fu'er who was instructed by someone to do something behind the scenes, and worked together with her grandfather to set a trap for her to fall into!

"Okay, okay! You still don't admit it!" Shen Ruyao's eyes were like swords, sweeping Fu'er who was kneeling on the ground: "Kneel down in the yard, and let her in when you speak!"

Cai Tao was shocked: "Girl! If you kneel outside all night in such weather, someone might get killed!"

Shen Ruyao glared at her fiercely and slammed the table: "How dare you say that! I'll punish you later!"
