Chapter 1,490
Xiao Lintian came to eat, and Ling Yu was inexplicably angry with him for this matter. He didn't answer Xiao Lintian's questions as before, and ate his own food with a cold face.
"Ayu, what's wrong today? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Lintian knew nothing about this and asked thoughtfully.
"without!"
Ling Yu squeezed out a word and continued to eat her own.
"Then who provoked you? Concubine Shao?"
Xiao Lintian asked with a smile on his face.
If Concubine Shao dared to embarrass Ling Yu again, Xiao Lintian decided not to give face to Prince Kang and would force Concubine Shao to be sent to the Ancestral Temple.
"without!"
Ling Yu has become a one-word party, and those who can answer with one word will never say another word.
Xiao Lintian was confused. No one provoked Ling Yu, and she was not sick. So why did Ling Yu become so strange today?
His eyes glanced at the maids Lingxuan and Taozi who were waiting on the side. Lingxuan and Taozi pretended not to notice and turned away their heads.
They are Ling Yu's maids, they recognize their master as Ling Yu, and they will not betray their master.
Seeing that no one told him, Xiao Lintian couldn't blame Lingxuan and the others.
After finishing his meal, on his way back to the royal study, he told Eunuch Xie: "Go and find out what happened to your Majesty today!"
Little Eunuch Xie understood this and turned back halfway. Finally, he found out from the other little maids about Ling Yu being gossiped about by several maids.
Little Eunuch Xie hurried back to report to Xiao Lintian.
Xiao Lintian was stunned for a moment. Ling Yu was not a stingy person. Why was he even blamed on himself after being said a few words by several palace maids?
Eunuch Xie was here today. Seeing that Xiao Lintian was stupid and clueless, he calmly gave Xiao Lintian some advice.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is probably not angry with the maids, but with the betrothal gift..."
"The betrothal gift given by Prince Kang to Miss Zhao is a full one hundred and twenty dollars. This is a great honor for the woman and a symbol of being cherished by her husband!"
"Your Majesty... I guess she feels uncomfortable thinking about the betrothal gift you gave her!"
Eunuch Xie was aware of the marriage between Xiao Lintian and Ling Yu, and what he said hit the nail on the head.
Xiao Lintian just remembered this and suddenly felt ashamed.
But you can’t blame yourself!
Ling Yu was very hateful at the beginning. She plotted against her and forced herself to marry her. The amount of dowry he could give her was already worthy of her!
The matter has passed, and Xiao Lintian no longer hates Ling Yu. Thinking about it, the betrothal gift he gave to Ling Yu is indeed shabby.
But how to make up for it?
You can’t re-employ, right?
"Thank you, father-in-law, how can I make up for it?"
Xiao Lintian was so overwhelmed that he didn't know how to make up for it.
Eunuch Xie laughed and said: "Your children are so old, it is impossible to re-employ! Just think about what my wife likes, and give her some precious gifts to make up for it!"
Young Eunuch Xie and Eunuch He are relatively young and quick-thinking, Eunuch He interjected.
"I don't think it's interesting to give precious gifts privately. Miss Zhao's betrothal gift was carried around the streets, attracting the envy of countless passers-by!"
"That ostentation should be the real reason why the empress is sad..."
Little Eunuch Xie also said: "I think so too, every woman likes to be envied by others. This is the reason why she wears beautiful dresses and beautiful headdresses!"
"Your Majesty, the gift you want to give to your empress must be one that she can wear and be envied by others! Otherwise, it will not achieve the effect!"
Xiao Lintian was even more confused by the comments from the three people. So what should he give to Ling Yu to make Ling Yu envied?
