In the study, two men stood one in front of the other. The former had a cold expression, while the latter had a respectful attitude.
Between the two of them, there was a long rosewood table. The table looked very empty except for a light blue square packaging box, which was particularly eye-catching.
There was a purple ribbon on the packaging box, tied into a very beautiful bow, which was quite exquisite.
"what is that?"
The young prince swept across the things on the ground. The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it carried an aura of majesty without even being angry.
Manager Fan lowered his brows and reported meticulously.
"This is a gift sent by Master Fiennes. It's for Su Wan. I don't know what's inside. I think this is not in accordance with the rules, so I came to inform Your Highness."
In fact, it was not uncommon to send gifts to the guards and maids of the Divine Court. There were even cases where two people gave gifts to each other, but Manager Fan would never pay any attention to it.
But the situation is different now. Manager Fan cannot guess Su Wan's position in the Emperor's heart, so Fiennes' gift is like a hot potato and is a bit tricky.
If it was sent directly to Su Wan, Manager Fan was afraid that the Emperor's son would get angry when he found out, and he would be implicated in the misfortune.
Since the matter involves himself, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, Manager Fan will handle it carefully.
Manager Fan is a shrewd man and certainly doesn't want this incident to bring harm to himself.
After Manager Fan finished his report, he raised his eyes slightly and carefully looked at the person in front of him with his peripheral vision, not wanting to miss any slight changes in the other person's expression.
It’s a pity that the young prince of the emperor never shows his emotions on his face. He always has an icy face and tightly pursed thin lips, giving people an extremely cold feeling.
As expected, Manager Fan was soon disappointed.
The young man stood straight, his eyes as calm as a deep pool, as if there was no change at all.
What does this mean
Your Highness is silent. Does that mean you can deal with this gift as you wish
"Your Highness?"
Manager Fan couldn't figure out what the young man was thinking, so he had to speak softly and give him a gentle reminder.
As if he didn't hear what Manager Fan said at all, the young prince stared at the gift box on the long table, as if he wanted to stare a hole in the box.
Seeing that the young man remained silent, Manager Fan began to sweat on his palms, feeling that he was indeed in trouble.
He can neither retreat nor advance, he is stuck in the middle, and life is really difficult.
The young prince glanced at Manager Fan. Manager Fan's eyes slightly opened, and his heart was in his throat. He thought that he was about to speak, but he didn't.
The air suddenly became stiff and fell into an awkward silence.
"Manager Fan, you seem anxious?"
The young man withdrew his gaze and said lightly.
Hearing that casual tone, Manager Fan's hands trembled slightly.
Yes, it’s just a gift. Was my reaction a bit over the top
Perhaps the relationship between His Highness and Su Wan is not as complicated as he had guessed.
He had come here just to be on the safe side and to test His Highness's intentions.
Chief Steward Fan raised his head. He had been working here for decades and had served high priests who were more eccentric than the current prince. How could he be stage-frightened
He quickly calmed down and a flawless smile appeared on his face.
"No, Your Highness misunderstood. I just wanted to ask what to do with this gift. What do you think?"
It seems that the current prince doesn't like to beat around the bush. It would be better for him to state his purpose directly in the future.
Manager Fan silently took note of this.
Hearing what Manager Fan said, the young prince raised the corners of his lips slightly, forming a mocking arc.
He ignored Manager Fan and his eyes went straight to the box on the long table.
Several lotus-shaped crystal chandeliers shone overhead, emitting a soft light, making the exquisitely packaged box even more gorgeous.
What's in here
For some reason, the young man felt very unhappy when looking at the box.
It felt like there was a thorn stuck in my throat, extremely uncomfortable.
Because of Manager Fan's report, he already knew that Su Wan had met with Fiennes alone.
A man and a woman were alone in a room. I don't know what they talked about...
A hint of displeasure flashed across the man's eyes, and the thin smile on his lips became even colder.
Very good, very good. It seemed like they were having a very pleasant conversation. Only a few dozen minutes had passed, but Fiennes couldn't wait to give Su Wan something.
He was now somewhat curious about what Su Wan had said to Fiennes...
It can't be that they are really just talking about love and expressing their feelings to each other, right
The thought that suddenly popped up in his mind made the man's face suddenly darken.
Feeling the temperature around him suddenly drop, Manager Fan was a little puzzled.
Your Highness, you seem to be angry all of a sudden
Why
Manager Fan broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, fearing that he would become a punching bag if he was not careful.
It’s not like he hasn’t played this kind of role before, it’s just…
Just when Manager Fan was trembling with fear, he suddenly saw the young man in front of him move.
Manager Fan opened his eyes wide in shock, watching the prince calmly stretch out his hand and slowly begin to untie the ribbon on the gift box.
The other party's movements were very graceful, but the expression on his face was gloomy, which made Manager Fan frightened.
This picture is so weird...
Soon, the gift box was opened.
Inside was a relatively thick bundle of wood-colored paper, carefully tied together with a thin rope. Attached to the stack of wood-colored paper was a light blue card, which was extremely eye-catching because of the different color.
Why is it all paper
Manager Fan frowned, not understanding what Fiennes meant. Who has ever seen someone give a sweetheart a pile of paper as a gift
And they were not bound into a book; they were all very loose. Except for the light blue card, the papers underneath were a bit gray and old.
Manager Fan became more and more curious. He stared at the box without blinking, and regretted that his eyesight was not good enough to see what was written on the paper.
The young prince glanced at Manager Fan with a look that seemed to be frozen, making people feel cold all over.
Manager Fan shuddered and immediately withdrew his gaze, starting with his eyes on the nose and his nose on the heart, with an extremely respectful expression.
The young man then moved his gaze to the gift box. Without thinking, he picked up the light blue card on the top.
"Ms. Su, although you rejected my previous request, I think these music scores are not easy to collect, and some are out of print. It would not be good if they were just left here to gather dust. The ancients said that swords are given to heroes and rouge is given to beauties, so these music scores should naturally be given to elegant guests who love the guqin. I hope Miss Su will smile."
Finally, it is signed: Fiennes Siswell.
The young prince's eyes became increasingly deep, and the strength of his grip on the card increased continuously.
good very good.
He sneered, and then gave orders directly to Manager Fan.
"Take these things out and burn them all."
