Chapter 413 - 413: His Highness is looking forward to it (1)

She was the first person in the entire capital to be ridiculed by His Highness.

Moreover, because His Highness touched her gift, she had to choose a gift in return.

Jiang huailu lowered her head and mumbled, thinking that she still had to see his Highness.

How could he be her brother Lu?

She felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry, but she held back her tears.

“Lulu, do you have any gifts for His Highness? Although His Highness did not have good intentions, there was a difference between a ruler and his subjects. A ruler was always a ruler. Lulu, don’t get angry over this …” Madam Xia felt wronged for her daughter, but she didn’t know how to comfort her.

Lulu didn’t feel wronged. Pigs, humans, cows, and sheep were all things of the mortal world. There was nothing noble or lowly about them.

Besides, pork was so delicious, how could it be considered mockery?

“Then I’ll return the favor.” Lulu ran back to her room with her head down and came out with a small box. It was even locked with a copper lock the size of a finger.

“Take it, you can return it to him.”

Mrs. Xia looked at the box suspiciously and felt that the pattern on it was very strange.

“Can mother take a look? After all, His Highness is different from ordinary people. If we offend him, Lulu, we can’t implicate maternal grandfather’s family.” Madam Xia was a little helpless. Seeing her daughter’s eyes, she knew that she seemed to be angry.

Lulu hung her head low, looking very pitiful.

“Mother, you can just give it to him.” He was muffled and his entire person was listless.

Xia Shi didn’t dare to ask again, and only hugged Lulu to comfort him. “Lulu, don’t be angry. Be good. His Highness treats all his courtiers like this. After a

while, this matter will be over.”

“Tomorrow, mother will bring you to the National temple to burn incense, okay? I heard that you hit it off with master yixu and even discussed Dao with him. My Lulu is so powerful. I’ll have a Dao discussion with master yixu tomorrow.” Mrs. Xia coaxed him, her heart aching.

It wasn’t until the evening that the box was sent to Lord Xia.

Lord Xia thought that his sister had checked it and did not force it open. He only had someone wrap it up and send it back to the eastern Palace.

By the time the return gift reached His Highness, it was already time for dinner.

“Your Highness, it’s time to enter the palace and have a meal with the Empress.” Eunuch Lu reported in a low voice.

Every few days, His Highness would have a meal with the Empress, but he had not entered the palace today.

Lu huaijiang sat in front of the window, his eyes on the book.

Eunuch Lu couldn’t help but purse his lips. His Highness had been reading a book ever since he sent the pet to the Xia family during breakfast.

The problem was that it had been an entire day, and not a single page had been turned. The book was still upside down.

A Palace servant hurried over.

Pa da.

The Crown Prince immediately placed the book on the table.

“Your Highness, the Xia family has sent a gift in return. Should we keep it in the warehouse as usual?” The young eunuch asked in a low voice. His Highness had collected countless rare treasures every year, but he had never taken a second look.

They were all kept in the warehouse.

At this moment, His Highness strode over. “Give it to bengong.”

Eunuch Lu hurriedly took it from the young eunuch’s hand and weighed it in his hand. It seemed to be wrapped in a box.

“Your Highness, I’ve heard that the little fragrant pig has its own fragrance and is highly sought after in foreign countries. It seems like the Xia family knows their stuff, they even sent a gift in return.”

His Highness hurriedly opened the gift.

A small case was revealed.

The small box was carved with exquisite patterns and locked with a small copper lock. Lu huaijiang gestured. The copper lock was only the size of his fingernail at most. It was obvious that this was a gift from Jiang huailu..
