Chapter 41 - Chapter 41 041. Take this gift with you

After all, the Ninth Aunt had lost ten fingers for two chickens and two weird plants. If he did not give her face and cooperation, she would truly be wronged.

"Right, right."

"Cough cough …"

Empress Mother could not help but cough twice as well. He did not want to hurt Liu Ruo Qing, but he really could not praise him any further, and could only change the way he said it: "I did not expect Tian Xin to be so considerate. Ninth Brother, look at me."

Yan Yuan frowned, he did not understand why Empress Mother was so easily tricked by Liu Tian Xin, this woman.

"The Ninth Aunt is indeed interested. This is much more meaningful than the Winged Bird and its branch, isn't it, Royal Uncle?"

Yan Shuo also joined in, laughing and teasing Yan Yuan, causing his expression to darken even further, and he did not say a word.

"royal sister-in-law is too kind, Tian Xin was just thinking that Prince does not lack anything. Tian Xin has been in the sect for so long and does not have any presents for Prince, she just wants to personally embroider a handkerchief to take it as Tian Xin's little gift to Prince."

As he said that, he looked towards Yan Yuan with an affectionate look in his eyes.

"Don't belittle yourself, Ninth Aunt. This is not a small matter. In Heaven's will, you are comparable to a Winged Bird, in Earth, you are willing to help build a relationship. This kind of heart, Royal Uncle, you must cherish it well."

Seeing that Yan Yuan's face was turning uglier, the smile in his eyes became wider and wider.

Until now, he had not seen anyone able to easily make the usually calm and composed royal uncle's face turn black with anger.

"Emperor, you're teasing me again."

Liu Ruo Qing's cheeks flushed red, pretending to be embarrassed to keep her face away.

The disgusting things of her life, she thought, had probably been done in this time.

Yan Yuan looked at Liu Ruo Qing's act with a darkened face. Empress Mother was easily tricked by her, he was clear in his heart.

"Last night, when the stars were in the wind, the west side of the painting pavilion was in the east of the Gui Hall, and the body was colorless and had a pair of phoenixes and wings. There was a point in his heart."

Empress Mother suddenly recited the poem Li Shang Yin that Liu Ruo Qing had added in at the last moment. In his eyes, there was a clear look of appreciation, compared to his disdain for the Winged Bird just now.

When Empress Mother recited this poem, even Yan Yuan turned his gaze towards them. Just now, he only saw the two extremely ugly Winged Birds on his handkerchief, but he did not notice the few lines of poetry at the side.

This handkerchief probably only contained these few lines of poetry.

Yan Yuan looked at Liu Ruo Qing with a peculiar gaze. He was a little surprised that this vulgar woman had such a refined side.

However, once such a poem came out of her mouth, it always felt like it lost some of its allure.

"Ol'ninth."

Empress Mother called out to him again, and Yan Yuan withdrew his gaze from Liu Ruo Qing, "royal sister-in-law."

Yan Yuan cupped his hands, seeing the Empress Mother pass the handkerchief to Yan Yuan, he said: "It's rare for Tian Xin to have such intentions, you must take this handkerchief carefully."

Who knew how unwilling Yan Yuan was to receive the handkerchief, and how he did not want to give Empress Mother any face, so he braced himself and accepted it. "Yes, royal sister-in-law."

Putting the handkerchief away in his sleeve, he sat down in silence.

His brows were furrowed, and he looked extremely unwilling.

Not only was he feeling unsatisfied, Liu Ruo Qing was also unsatisfied.

When she saw Yan Yuan taking away the Winged Dual Flying Handkerchief that she had sacrificed ten fingers for, without any indication of it being taken away, and even showing an expression of disdain, she couldn't sit still anymore.

What … What do you mean, big brother, big sister's handkerchief is not for free! Where's the heartlock?

If not for wanting to show that she had bad luck in front of Empress Mother, she would have gone up to fight with Yan Yuan.

Just when Liu Ruo Qing was at a loss as to how to reasonably ask for the heartlock in front of the Empress Mother, what made her excited was that the Empress Mother spoke first.

"Oh yeah, Ninth, did you give her the heartlock that the Queen Mother left for Tian Xin?"

Hearing Empress Mother finally speak, Liu Ruo Qing was almost moved to the point of kneeling in front of him.

Sister Empress Mother is simply his benefactor. Whatever she thinks in her heart, Empress Mother will listen to her heart.

Speaking of which, Sister Empress Mother is her own heartlock.

Both of Liu Ruo Qing's eyes looked at Yan Yuan with nervousness and anticipation. Seeing that Yan Yuan's brows were furrowed even tighter than before, he then shook his head with a heavy face again, "No."

Empress Mother's face revealed a little reprimand, and said to Yan Yuan: "You, truly, even if you don't like Tian Xin at all, she is still your legal and proper wife, so this heartlock should be given to Tian Xin, don't tell me that you want to go against mother's wishes?"

Yan Yuan frowned and did not say anything. Empress Mother's sister-in-law had even brought out the empress who went with her, so if he really did not give the heartlock to that woman, it would truly be contrary to mother's wishes.

It was just that, giving the heartlock to Liu Tian Xin, he was truly unreconciled in his heart.

After all, he had never admitted that Liu Tian Xin was his wangfei.

"royal sister-in-law, please give the heartlock to her when you return."

Yan Yuan glanced at Liu Ruo Qing indifferently, his eyes filled with loathing.

But Liu Ruo Qing did not have the heart to care about that. As long as she could get the heartlock, she would not be bothered about what attitude that trash Yan Yuan had towards her.

"royal sister-in-law, it's alright. Since Prince isn't willing to give it to Tian Xin, then don't force him."

As he said that, he looked at Yan Yuan with an uneasy expression, as if he was extremely afraid of Yan Yuan.

Yan Shuo looked at Yan Yuan's sullen face and did not say a word. Liu Ruo Qing who was pretending to be a little woman, had a smile in her eyes that deepened.

The Ninth Aunt entering royal uncle's door was becoming more and more interesting.

Seeing Liu Ruo Qing's pretentious look, the more Yan Yuan looked at it, the more she felt that it was inconvenient.

If he hadn't been useful in marrying this woman, he would have definitely let her go far away.

"Reporting to Empress Mother, lunch is ready."

"Yes."

Empress Mother nodded, then turned to look at Yan Yuan and the others, saying, "Go eat."

She clearly knew that she was faking it, but neither of the two people present exposed her.

The reason he did not expose her was because he knew how shameless that woman was. He did not want to embarrass himself in longevity palace with her, but another reason was that he did not want to waste his time on that troublesome woman.
