Su Jin had seen thousands of treasures in the palace, but this was the first time she saw a gem like this, and she couldn't help but marvel.
When people nearby saw this necklace, even though they didn’t know what it was, they also knew that it must be very valuable. The most important thing is that it is so beautiful!
Everyone was extremely envious of Sujin. They didn't know how she fell in love with the third princess and gave her such an expensive and beautiful gift.
Sujin knew it well.
The reason why the third princess looked at her in a different light, smiled like a child when they met, and gave her gifts was all because she was the most trusted person around Queen Mother Zhou.
If she were just an ordinary palace maid, the third princess might not even be able to look at her.
This is the way the world is. She has long been accustomed to it, and she has already mastered the skill of being indifferent to favors and humiliations.
"Aunt Sujin, this is a special stone from the seabed of Northern Qi. It's called aquamarine. It can only be found in very deep seabeds. It's very rare. I think it's very beautiful. Do you like it?"
"I like it very much, but it's too expensive. How about the third princess give this gift to the Queen Mother? I believe the Queen Mother will also like it very much." Su Jin hinted tactfully.
The third princess said, "Aunt Sujin just keeps it. I have already prepared the gifts for the Queen Mother. Look, they are all there." She pointed at a dozen large boxes.
"All of them?" Sujin was shocked.
"Yes, Aunt Sujin, can you take me in to pay my respects to the Queen Mother? I heard about the Queen Mother when I was in Beiqi, and I have always admired her. I have long wanted to see the Queen Mother, and today I finally get to see her." Three The princess looked expectant.
"Yes, of course. This slave is here to take the third princess into the palace."
Su Jin said hurriedly, feeling secretly ashamed at the same time, thinking why she had been confusedly talking to this little girl outside the palace gate for a long time. I'm afraid the Queen Mother was already waiting inside.
But it is strange to say that the third princess looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she talks and smiles, has no worries, and speaks in a frank and lovable manner, which makes people want to talk to her more.
"Aunt Sujin, don't you like the aquamarine I gave you?" the third princess said suddenly.
"Like it."
"Then why don't you wear it?"
Seeing that the aquamarine necklace was too precious and too shiny, Sujin thanked the third princess and put it in the box. Unexpectedly, the third princess suddenly turned back to look at her and asked about it after taking a few steps.
There was a hint of embarrassment on her face: "Third Princess, this necklace is too expensive, slave..."
The third princess said quickly: "What's expensive or not? This is jewelry. Jewelry must be shiny and beautiful. Put it on, otherwise I will think you don't like my gift. Look, I’m wearing the little bunny you gave me.”
She pointed at her waist, and sure enough, the little rabbit jade pendant was tied to her belt and swayed as she walked.
"This necklace... is really too bright." Su Jin looked confused.
Her dress had always been elegant and pleasant, and she always made herself dignified and steady, which was in line with her usual image. She could not imagine what it would look like with that shining necklace around her neck.
"Of course it has to be bright. The brighter the jewelry is, the better it looks. If it were just a bunch of broken black stones, who would wear it around their neck? Aunt Sujin, don't you think so?"
