She lifted her hand to open the box, and saw that it was a square yellow frost stone seal. The upper half was oval shaped, carved with phoenixes and songs, and the lower half was a square seal with the ancient seal character 'Gu Qing Li' at the bottom.

She gasped.

Not to mention one tael of Tian Huang three taels of gold, just the Tian Huang stone, due to its warm texture and golden color, was designated as something exclusive to the royal family. As a prince, it wasn't strange for Xiao Yiyan to have it, but to give it to her … This didn't make any sense at all.

Gu Qing Li closed the box and pushed it in front of him, "Prince Chen, please take it back. This gift is too precious, I'm afraid it will arouse the jealousy of others."

Xiao Yi Yan laughed disapprovingly: "This is something that royal father bestowed to me, and it already belongs to me. At that time, this square stamp was written without any words. He allowed me to gift it to others, so you don't have to worry about it. Even though you are a female, you are still a close relative of the royal family, so you can't be considered to be overbearing. "

Gu Qingli still refused, "I'm only afraid that someone will use it as an excuse."

Xiao Yiyan was slightly displeased, "There is no reason to take back the gift that I gave. If you don't like it, take it and smash it."

Gu Qingli saw his helpless expression and sighed before accepting the box. She could only hide such a precious item at the bottom of her mind.

Only then did Xiao Yiyan's expression change. "I originally wanted to give you some accessories. Firstly, I felt that a girl like you might not like those gold and silver items. Secondly, I felt that it was inappropriate with my identity, so I'm afraid that fifth brother might be angry."

Gu Qingli smiled. Originally, a seal was not really suitable to be used as a gift to a woman, but she still rather liked this seal.

"I've heard that the Fifth Emperor's sister-in-law is bedridden all year round, still being able to infect people with illness, but this king doesn't seem to think so." He glanced at her, "It was Fifth Brother who restricted your freedom and prevented you from leaving the mansion, right?"

As a prince, Xiao Yiyan wasn't as naive and innocent as he looked. He understood everything that he needed to understand, but he wasn't willing to live with such clarity. He just wanted to be free and unrestrained. However, Gu Qingli hadn't expected him to speak in such a straightforward manner.

"Aren't you afraid that he'll be angry if you say something like that?"

"I'm still angry at him, afraid that he'll be angry?" He stood up, suddenly beaming with joy. "Don't you think that Fifth Sister sometimes feels very infuriating? Do you want to make him angry as well? "

Gu Qingli looked at him, puzzled.

When Yu Ying came over to Xiao Yi Xiu to pass on the message, her eyes were filled with worry.

Jinshu led her to the main hall. Seeing the listless servant standing by the door, she asked, "What's the matter?"

Suifeng shushed him and whispered, "Our prince is in a bad mood right now. Don't go mess with him if you have nothing to do."

Yu Ying hesitated for a moment, then stopped and looked at the brocade tree.

"Who's talking there?" Xiao Yi Xiu's cold voice sounded, but no one could tell what he was thinking.

Jin Shu pushed Yu Ying from the back. She involuntarily took two steps forward, and had no choice but to enter the inner room.

Suifeng glared at her and grimaced, blaming her for acting on her own.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the wangfei, she …" "And …"

"With what? You don't even know how to speak, yet you want This King to teach you? " Xiao Yi Xiu sat in front of her with his back facing her. His back was ramrod straight, exuding a sense of loneliness.

Yu Ying lowered her head. "Her highness sent servants to monitor the wangfei, saying that they need to report any unusual movements. But this time it's Prince Chen who's taking her out of the house. We can't stop her …"

"What?" Xiao Yixiu's voice rose in pitch, so cold that Yu Ying's blood froze. He stared at his back, not daring to make a sound.

He slowly let out a breath as a thin layer of frost appeared in his eyes. However, he did not turn around.

"Take her where?"

"Prince Chen just said to take Princess Hua-Yang out for a stroll in the capital."

"Go on, This King knows."

Suifeng watched as Yu Ying left with a face full of bewilderment. Just as she was wondering, she heard Xiao Yi Xiu call him over to let him enter Vice Minister Lin and a few other generals she was close with.

This was the tempo of a discussion, but where did this prince get the mood to discuss political matters?

On the main thoroughfare, merchants bustled, pedestrians flowed, hawking and shouting, and the high, deserted walls were a deep ochre color.

In the past, when Gu Qingli had sneaked out of the palace under the guise of Li Yue, she had always been in a hurry.

"Give me a box with all kinds of scents." Xiao Yiyan was in high spirits.

"Hey …" Without waiting for Gu Qingli to stop him, Xiao Yiyan had fully demonstrated the prince's hedonistic ways, buying almost half a handful of the scented powder.

How crafty were the eyes of the peddlers? With one glance, they could tell that this young man in embroidered clothing was a fool. He was obviously trying to win the heart of the beautiful women around him. He didn't even ask for the price.

So peddling hairpin, embroidered shoes, silk handkerchief and all kinds of women's objects all came first.

On the other hand, Xiao Yiyan waved his away, pulling her through the crowd with great difficulty. He was practically running all the way.

"Prince Chen, are you going to take me on a stroll or escape?" After calming herself down, Gu Qingli felt both angry and amused.

However, Xiao Yi Yan blinked his eyes and laughed: "That's the way to be fun, don't you think that's the way to be popular in the capital? This is how ordinary people live. "

"Does Prince Chen often mix in the market like this?"

"It's also very interesting to not be a high and mighty prince every once in a while."

Gu Qingli couldn't help but laugh. "Look at that pile of scented powder you bought. Even if I were to use them all up, I still wouldn't be able to use them all."

Xiao Yi Yan laughed, "You bought it to play with, don't you know how to scatter it? "Watch me." He walked over to a stall and whispered a few words into his ear.

The stall owner looked puzzled as he packed up his stuff and put it under the shelf to make an empty shelf. Then he stood aside.

Xiao Yiyan spread out that pile of fragrant powder. He shook out a folding fan from nowhere and lightly waved it a few times.

Gu Qingli couldn't hold it in any longer, so she could only smile and cough. He looked just like a martial artist, with all sorts of tricks on him.

She thought that he was definitely going to start peddling cosmetic powder. She covered her mouth as she laughed and choked for a while. She curiously looked at how he was going to shout. She didn't believe that a prince like him would be able to show off his identity.

Who knew that before Xiao Yiyan could even open his mouth, there were already groups of two or three girls with fan-like faces that didn't want to leave the stall. They leered at him as they absent-mindedly picked up the powdered incense.

Following that, a young woman with a basket came over to ask for the price.

Xiao Yiyan picked up a box of fragrant powder, and the light in his peach blossom eyes vanished. His expression was graceful and calm, and he looked even more like a prince than usual.

"Don't just look at this box of fragrant powder, this place is also used for the palace's cosmetic powder. Since this lady is so elegant, she must be from a rich family. She knows who she is and who she is not …" Look at this Jade Orchid Powder, Qingfen Flavor, Pale White Exquisite … "Actually, lady, your skin is as white as jade, there's no need to embellish your beautiful appearance any further …"

Gu Qingli was thinking about how to do business like this when she heard the girl with the fan covering her face blink her long eyelashes and shyly tell the maidservants behind her to start withdrawing the money.
