His passionate affection was as hot as the look he gave her, turning the cold winter wind into a heat wave.
Shen Xihe lowered his head and smiled slightly without commenting.
She didn't know how to deal with Xiao Huayong's raging passion. She had already told him everything she needed to say, and Xiao Huayong's behavior was his freedom, and she had no right to interfere. She knew what Xiao Huayong wanted, but she couldn't give it to him.
Xiao Huayong's eyes fell on her bun: "Yoyo, have you counted the coming-of-age gift I gave you?"
"I've seen the gift list." Shen Xihe admitted.
She looked through the gift list of all the gifts given by the guests. She had no shortage of things, so she did not open any of the gifts except those given by her father and brother, and those given to Shen Xihe privately by Bu Shulin and Xue Jinqiao.
"There is a sword-hiding hairpin that I carved myself. Please don't give it to others." With the precedent of the Fujishi incense cup, Xiao Huayong had to say it himself, "I want to give you the hairpin privately, but I guess you will not take it back, so I have to put it in the gift of marriage."
People like them who are born into noble status will receive countless gifts on important occasions such as festivals, birthdays and weddings. Except for those sent to individuals, these gifts will be put into their private treasury, and then used, rewarded to subordinates and slaves, or given to others. There is nothing wrong with such behavior.
Rewards from emperors are different; they can only be passed down to future generations as a sign of respect.
"Your Highness is very good at calculating people's hearts." Shen Xihe couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
First, he said that he would deal with Wang Zheng for her, and guessed that she would not respond, so he retreated and mentioned that it must be the birthday gift that she put in the warehouse. It's not that she couldn't refuse, but there was no need to be so unkind: "Your Highness, I regret choosing you."
He knew too well how to deal with people. If she had not chosen Xiao Huayong and did not want to be on guard against each other after marriage, with internal troubles as well as external threats, Shen Xihe really wanted to be more ruthless.
Xiao Huayong raised his eyebrows. Not only was he not angry, but his smile became even stronger: "Yoyo, you are not regretting, you are afraid."
She was afraid of his offensive, afraid of how good he was to her, and afraid that one day she would give in and fall in love with him uncontrollably.
"Your Highness, are you always so self-righteous?" Shen Xihe said.
"Is that right? There is no point in saying more now. You will understand in the future." Xiao Huayong was full of confidence. She firmly believed that she just didn't know how to deal with him, but she didn't know that from now on she was no longer as indifferent as before. "The hairpin cannot be given to others."
“I won’t give it to others.” Having accepted something as a gift from someone else and having been specifically reminded of it, I naturally cannot give it to others.
I won’t give it to others, but I won’t wear it either.
Xiao Huayong's eyes were filled with smiles: "You will wear it sooner or later."
After saying that, Xiao Huayong stood up and left the Princess's Mansion with a happy smile.
Even after he walked a long way, Shen Xihe could still hear his joyful laughter from the bottom of his heart. Shen Xihe began to doubt himself and could not help but turn around and ask Zhenzhu: "Am I really afraid?"
Pearl shook her head: "I don't know."
The others also shook their heads. The princess was already difficult enough to understand for them, and now there was also an unpredictable Crown Prince. They were also looking forward to the princess marrying into the Eastern Palace, wanting to see who would be stronger between the princess and the Crown Prince in the end.
