The third princess spoke so straightforwardly, which was beyond Sujin's expectation.
But she really didn't dare to accept this gift. No matter what was inside, the more expensive it was, the more she couldn't ask for it.
"Third Princess, you are making things difficult for me. I really cannot accept your gifts."
Su Jin was still trying to evade, but the third princess chuckled. She spotted a jade ornament on Su Jin's waist and pointed at it: "Aunt Su Jin, what is this? It looks like a lot of fun. Let me have a look." Okay?"
Su Jin lowered her head and saw that it was a little rabbit jade pendant that she often wore. It was given to her by the Queen Mother when she entered the palace, and she has been wearing it for many years.
Seeing the attentive look on the third princess's face, she untied it with a smile and handed it to the third princess.
"It's a jade pendant." She smiled.
"Ah, it's a little rabbit, so cute!" The third princess held it in her hand and played with it, looking like she couldn't put it down, which made Sujin dumbfounded.
The country of Northern Qi was extremely wealthy, more than ten times richer than that of Western Chu. This third princess was the apple of the Emperor's eye. She had never seen such a good thing, so how could she regard such a little thing as a rarity.
"Aunt Sujin, if you refuse to accept the gift I gave you, how about we exchange it?"
The third princess rolled her eyes flexibly, gathered the little rabbit she was playing with into her palms, and said with a smile: "You gave me this little rabbit jade pendant, and then accepted my gift, so it won't be considered a waste of merit." Are you happy? Even if the Queen Mother knew it, she wouldn't punish you, right? I like this little rabbit very much, but I'm afraid you won't be able to let it go. "
Her big eyes blinked and she looked at Sujin with eyes full of expectation. This made Sujin's heart suddenly soften, and she didn't know how to reject her.
To be honest, this little rabbit jade pendant is indeed not a rare thing, and it is indeed inconspicuous among palace treasures. However, it was given to her by the Empress Dowager Zhou when she entered the palace. She has been wearing it for more than 20 years. , I really can’t bear it.
But the third princess asked for it, and when the word "no" came to her lips, she really couldn't say it.
Helpless, she could only nod with a smile: "The third princess likes this gadget, so let's play with it. However, the slave girl cannot accept the gift from the third princess."
She wanted to return the gift to the third princess, but the third princess pushed it to her instead.
"Aunt Sujin, I have accepted your gifts. If you don't accept mine, do you dislike me? Do you not welcome me to Xichu? Do you not want me to marry your emperor?" The third princess pouted a little aggrievedly, and her big watery eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist of tears, which made people's hearts soften.
Su Jin felt that she was facing the superior Third Princess of Northern Qi. She was simply a little girl made of water who had not grown up. She laughed when she talked and cried when she cried.
She really failed.
"Okay, okay, I will accept it, my slave. Thank you, Third Princess." She had no choice but to take the gift box and salute to the Third Princess to thank her.
The third princess immediately curved her mouth and smiled, her eyes bright, with no trace of tears anywhere.
Sujin simply suspected that she had been dazzled and had seen something wrong just now.
"Okay, open it quickly and take a look, do you like it?"
Sujin had no choice but to open the gift box, and as soon as the lid of the box opened, there was a burst of dazzling flowers.
It turned out to be a string of crystal clear necklaces. I don't know what it was made of. The gemstones were strung together as transparent as sea water. The sun shone on it, and the clouds were flying, as if water light was flowing.
