Ah Man looked down at the jade bracelet stuffed into her hand. The milky white jade looked more like a pool of water and was warm to the touch.
"Sister, this jade bracelet..."
The Queen naturally understood the meaning of Concubine Jin giving A'man the warm jade, but she was still surprised. This jade was a family heirloom of the Xie family.
"Good boy, you saved Ah Kai, I have no way to repay you. This jade bracelet comes from the Xie family. With this jade bracelet, you can withdraw money at the Xie family store at will. As long as you don't do anything that harms the country and the people, everyone in the Xie family will obey your orders."
Concubine Jin explained the function of the jade bracelet. Ah Man's hands were shaking. She knew very well that she could not keep the jade bracelet.
"I appreciate Concubine Jin's kindness, but this jade bracelet is related to the lives of the Xie family. I cannot accept it."
"You saved Akai's life, so I should thank you."
"Your Highness, I am from Bei'an. This thank-you gift is not appropriate. If Your Highness really wants to thank me, just give me some gold, silver, and jewelry."
Ah Man was smart, and when she saw Concubine Jin gave her this, she understood her intention. She went to Murong Kai to collect the debt, originally wanting to tease him, and since Concubine Jin was protecting him, she would not ask for it.
Concubine Jin looked at Ah Man, sighed helplessly, and said, "Well, if you insist on not accepting it, I will give you some jewelry. Jinzhu, go to Qingqiu Palace and get the jewelry box I put in the bedroom."
The maid took the order and left. Ah Man just smiled gently at Concubine Jin, but she couldn't help but explore in her eyes how she had offended Concubine Jin that made her so wary of her.
"Princess, if you have nothing to do, you can come to my palace and sit for a while. I was in such a hurry last night that I didn't have a good chat with you."
When the Queen saw Concubine Jin's behavior, she was already very unhappy and didn't want A'man to stay here any longer.
"Okay, Your Majesty, we met too late. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, Jiaoyang is willing to come to your palace to bother you."
After saying this, Ah Man walked to the Queen's side, put his arm around her, and looked so intimate that the Queen felt very comfortable.
This girl really deserves her love.
Concubine Jin watched Ah Man and the Queen leave together, and suddenly felt a little helpless. The reward she had asked someone to bring had not arrived yet. Did Ah Man not take the reward seriously at all, or...
"Princess Jiaoyang, the reward I just mentioned for you..."
"Her Majesty, just have someone send it to the Queen's Palace. I am a layman who likes yellow and white things, so I won't refuse."
She was frank, sincere, and not at all pretentious. The Queen looked at her smiling sweetly at Concubine Jin, and felt even more regretful in her heart.
"Ah Man, wait a minute." Just as Ah Man took the Queen's arm and walked to the gate of Ruyi Palace, Murong Kai's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
It was still weak and a little hoarse, but unusually beautiful.
"Akai, you are still not in good health. When you are better, let Princess Jiaoyang come to play with you. You should take good care of yourself first."
Just as Concubine Jin was relieved, she heard Murong Kai's voice. She tried to stop him, but Murong Kai didn't seem to hear her at all. He insisted on saying to the person at the door: "A Man, come back. I have something to tell you."
"There's no need to thank you, Third Prince. Concubine Jin has already rewarded me." Ah Man didn't even turn her head back, and walked forward holding the Queen's arm.
She went to the palace today because she was worried about Murong Kai's injury and wanted to see how she was recovering. However, she didn't know that Concubine Jin, who had worked so hard with her yesterday, was so wary of her.
Ah Man still had some self-awareness. Although she was thinking about Murong Kai, she didn't want to humiliate herself.
"Empress, I saw the jade cup in your palace yesterday. The workmanship was very exquisite. I have never seen anything like it in Bei'an..." Ah Man spoke to the queen with curiosity, trying to ignore the Ruyi Palace that was already behind him.
However, she didn't expect that as soon as she walked in, she heard the sound of someone falling behind her, and at the same time, the sound of something breaking. Of course, what strained her rationality even more was Murong Kai's anxious shout: Ah Man.
