Chapter 536 - Precious Treasure, a Head Accessory Made of South Pearls (1/2)

Mo Yarui finally hurried over and secretly wiped away the sweat on her forehead. She walked to Mo Xuetong and bowed with a smile. “Greetings, Consort Xuan!”

“Second Consort Mo? Please take a seat. Somebody, serve tea!” Mo Xuetong recognized that the person in front of her was a.s.sistant Minister Mo’s daughter. She suddenly understood that the so-called Ya’er was Mo Yarui. She avoided Feng Yuxuan’s gaze and focused on Mo Yarui with a polite smile.

“Many thanks, Consort Xuan.” Mo Yarui leaned over and sat on a stone bench by the side. It was such a hot day and she had been chasing after Feng Yuxuan. It was really hot on the way here. She took the tea from Mo Lan and took a sip. Then she felt a sweet scent and the summer heat diminished immediately.

“Your Highness, please have some tea.” Mo Lan put a cup of tea beside Feng Yuxuan’s hand. Feng Yuxuan nodded, but he intentionally fiddled with the teacup he had been holding. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile.

“Thank you, Consort Xuan, for saving my life last time.” Mo Yarui stood up. It seemed that she was going to bow to Mo Xuetong.

“Please don’t do that. It’s just a matter of lifting a finger. It’s not a big deal. Besides, you have King Chu.” Mo Xuetong stood up hurriedly to stop her, and Mo Yu hurriedly reached out to hold Mo Yarui and stopped her from kneeling.

“It is as easy as raising a finger to you, My Lady, but for me, you still saved my life.” Mo Yarui could not help but look at Feng Yuxuan when she heard her mention Feng Yuxuan. Her eyes immediately turned red when she saw him giving her a gentle smile. She said that, looking rather aggrieved. She did not know why, but when she saw Feng Yuxuan’s sincere smile, she got so excited that she wanted to cry.

It had been a long time since she saw the sincere smile on Feng Yuxuan’s face!

“Ya’er, don’t be so polite. Since Consort Xuan has saved your life, you can often come here to accompany her in the future. I brought a set of head accessory of South Pearls today, to express grat.i.tude on behalf of Ya’er. After all, I didn’t take care of Ya’er well, so that Ya’er suffered and affected Consort Xuan.”

Feng Yuxuan continued the topic and reached out his hand. A eunuch who followed him came over and respectfully presented an exquisite gift box. Judging by the gift box’s exquisiteness, one could know that it was worth a lot. Mo Yarui looked at Feng Yuxuan in surprise and then at the gift box on the table with a strange look on her face.

“This is a head accessory made of South Pearls. The South Pearls are from the extreme south. They are more mellow and smooth than that of other places. The objects inside are also very beneficial to people’s health. Please accept it, Consort Xuan.” Feng Yuxuan smiled and pushed the gift box to Mo Xuetong.

South Pearls were not local pearls. The good ones were all offerings in the palace. Even the imperial consorts in the palace did not have many South Pearls. Mo Xuetong remembered that Sima Heyan had mentioned in her past life that when she entered the palace, she had seen a phoenix hairpin of South Pearls on the Empress’ head. She had praised it for a long time, saying that such pearls were the best amongst pearls and could be worn by a n.o.ble person like the Emperor.

Now, Feng Yuxuan was giving her a head accessory of South Pearls. It was valuable!

Even though she had saved Mo Yarui, how could Feng Yuxuan, who had ignored Mo Yarui, give her such a valuable gift? What was Feng Yuxuan doing this for? Mo Xuetong thought quickly and did not figure out his intentions. She saw that Feng Yuxuan’s gentle gaze landed on Mo Yarui and felt as if he and Mo Yarui were in love with each other.

“Your Highness King Chu, I really can’t accept such a precious gift.” Mo Xuetong couldn’t figure it out and decided not to think about it anymore. A gentle smile appeared on her jade-white face and she refused him politely. No matter what Feng Yuxuan wanted to do, her intuition told her not to accept it.

She did not forget how cruel the gentle-looking King Chu was. If not for her good luck, she would have died a long time ago.

“Consort Xuan, don’t you look down on my head accessory just because you have the precious South Pearls necklace that Eighth brother sent to you?” Feng Yuran said in a casual manner while smiling lightly and looking at Mo Xuetong with a relaxed air.

“South Pearl necklace?” Mo Xuetong blinked her watery eyes and asked in confusion. She did not understand what Feng Yuxuan meant.

“Oh, I just said something I shouldn’t have. I shall punish myself.”

He saw the slight estrangement in the clear eyes, and her long lashes fluttered. Even though she was polite, she looked indifferent. Feng Yuxuan’s eyes darkened. He suddenly stood up and said, “I still have to visit Eighth brother, so I won’t disturb you. Ya’er, if you like Consort Xuan, you can come to King Xuan’s Manor often in the future.”

Then, before Mo Xuetong could say something, he pulled Mo Yarui and turned to leave, leaving the South Pearl head accessory on the stone table. He meant to leave it to Mo Xuetong. She had to accept it even if she did not want it.

“Your Highness…” Mo Xuetong did not expect Feng Yuxuan, who had always been elegant, to be so shameless at this moment. When she stood up, Feng Yuxuan had already walked quite a distance away with Mo Yarui stumbling. If she chased after him, it made one feel that she had lost her etiquette and was too petty.

“My Lady, this?” Mo Lan looked at the jewelry box on the table, and then at King Chu who had let go of Mo Yarui and walked away. She did not know what to do. What was going on? He had gifted his younger brother’s wife with a head accessory. Even though he had given it to her in the name of Mo Yarui, it was from his hand in the end. It was not proper.
