Huangfu Lingyao realized he had narrowly escaped a dangerous situation.
Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he quickly retrieved a jade bracelet adorned with gold from his box. He grabbed Liu Shimei’s left hand and slid the bracelet onto her wrist, admiring it for a moment before cheerfully praising, “I was right! It looks amazing on Wife!”
Liu Shimei stared at the bracelet that had suddenly appeared on her wrist. It was made of high-quality jade with intricate gold embellishments, slightly tarnished from being buried in the earth for a long time. The gold work featured phoenix patterns.
She furrowed her brows and asked, “Is this an heirloom from your mother?”
Only the queen was entitled to wear such jewelry!
Huangfu Lingyao looked at her and nodded, saying, “My wet nurse said it was left to me by my mother, to be given to my future wife!”
He wasn’t lying; it was all true!
Liu Shimei immediately took off the bracelet and placed it back in the box.
Seeing her reaction, Huangfu Lingyao’s face changed, his mouth pouted as if he was about to cry, and he asked, “Wife, don’t you like it?”
“It’s not that I don’t like it,” Liu Shimei sighed and explained, “Every young girl would love such a beautiful piece of jewelry!”
She was afraid that the silly dog would get upset, so she added, “It’s just that this bracelet is something only the Empress is qualified to wear. If it were a gift from the Empress, it would be different. But since it’s not a royal gift, wearing it could cause trouble for me.”
Huangfu Lingyao hadn’t considered this aspect.
In reality, his intention was never for her to wear the bracelet; he had simply taken a roundabout way to achieve something else.
“Oh, how about this one?” He picked another bracelet from the box and slid it onto her wrist.
It had a hint of purple in the ice seed, very exquisite, especially complementing Liu Shimei’s fair and tender wrist!
To strike while the iron was hot, this way she wouldn’t refuse!
Liu Shimei liked it at first sight and said with a smile, “This one is fine.”
Huangfu Lingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief; it was so difficult to find something to give to his future wife!
These were all relics from the former Empress, left for him to give to his future wife. Even though they hadn’t married yet, he couldn’t wait to give them all to her!
“Is the wet nurse still alive?” It wasn’t the first time Liu Shimei heard him mention Nainai.
But now, it seemed the wet nurse was no longer in the royal mansion?
Mentioning Nainai, a look of resentment appeared on the foolish dog’s face. “Gone! She went back to the countryside with her husband two years ago. Hmph, it was all Eunuch Li who made them leave, not allowing them to stay!”
He pouted, nearly in tears. “I’m so angry, but they still had to send the wet nurse away. Because of this, I didn’t eat for several days!”
Liu Shimei felt extremely uncomfortable hearing this.
She could guess why this happened. Some people were not at ease; they wanted to eliminate all the trustworthy people around Huangfu Lingyao?
They wanted to isolate him, sparing no one, not even a nanny?
“Is Eunuch Li loyal to the Emperor or the Empress?” Liu Shimei touched the jade bracelet on her wrist and lowered her eyelids.
Seeing her expression, Huangfu Lingyao knew she was worried about this matter.
Excellent, when husband and wife are of the same mind, their sharpness can cut through metal and stone. In just over two months, they would be married, and by then, they would thoroughly clean up the royal mansion.
The thought was beautiful!
He also answered in a low voice, “Imperial Father ordered him to serve me, but I have seen him talking to Empress Mother too.”
A conservative statement, but he knew very well: that eunuch steward was loyal to the Empress!
Liu Shimei sighed and packed the box, saying, “Let’s go back to your room first.”
Huangfu Lingyao’s eyes lit up.
Back to the room, yes!
