The best gift in the world!
Su Xian picked up the box and took a look. It turned out that there was a mezzanine underneath.
Chen Keyao's so-called gift should be in this mezzanine.
"I remembered, there is indeed a mezzanine in this box. Oh, I'm so stupid!"
Chen Keyao patted his head, took the wooden box, held it in his hands as before, and said with a sweet smile: "Brother Su, open it quickly and take a look!"
"Could it be...that there are still your private clothes inside?" Su Xian hesitated slightly, facing Chen Keyao's expectant smile. Why did he feel a little unreliable?
"Brother Su, there will be no mistakes this time, Yaoyao can guarantee it!" Chen Keyao looked serious.
"Okay." Su Xian finally nodded, but still hesitated and did not take action immediately.
"This gift has cost Yaoyao countless efforts. It is the best gift in the world. Brother Su, please open it quickly. Don't be too happy later."
Chen Keyao smiled sweetly.
As she spoke, she raised her hands high and sent the wooden box to Su Xian.
Hearing what Chen Keyao said, Su Xian's expectation reached its peak in an instant. Driven by curiosity, his hand slowly reached into the wooden box and opened the interlayer.
Then he took a look inside.
"this……"
Su Xian twitched the corner of his mouth. What he saw was finally no longer delicate and gorgeous women's private clothing. Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
But this...is this also a piece of clothing?
The color is too plain!
Although the material is silk, which is pretty good, the color is actually gray... Wait, the stitches on it... why are they like this?
Not to mention messy, it’s also full of lint!
The smile and expectation on Su Xian's face froze slightly. He pinched the corner of the object with his thumb and index finger, slowly lifted it up, and took it out of the wooden box.
This thing was quite long. After Su Xian completely took it out of the wooden box, he had to raise his hand high. He turned his head and looked at it for a long time, and finally looked at Chen Keyao with a smile on his face and asked indifferently:
"May I ask, Your Highness, Princess, what... is this?"
"ah?"
Chen Keyao was startled, and a bright smile suddenly froze on his face.
When she saw Su Xian looking at it for a long time, she thought Su Xian would happily thank her, but in the end she asked such a question... Chen Keyao was at a loss.
"Brother Su, this is a long gown. It is worn outside!"
Chen Keyao dropped the wooden box, scratched his head with one hand, and picked up a corner of the object with the other hand, slowly unfolding it.
Su Xian looked at it carefully and suddenly said: "It's really a long gown, haha, I almost didn't notice it."
"Brother Su, do you think this gown looks good?" A smile bloomed on Chen Keyao's face again, with a look of hope in his bright eyes.
A look waiting for praise.
Su Xian came closer and looked at it carefully. This object... well, I can barely say it is a long gown. The shape... is terrible——
The two sleeves are not symmetrical at all!
And why is this waist so fat? Is this for pregnant women?
Looking at the seams again, the seams are crooked and the stitches are too sparse. There are even some places that are not sewn at all, leaving a big hole...
What surprised Su Xian was that this horrible gown was actually embroidered with patterns, but...it might as well not have been there.
Su Xian has never seen such "exaggerated" embroidery work in his whole life. It is even harder to recognize than Picasso's abstract paintings!
This kind of garbage should be thrown in the trash can!
Su Xian was puzzled, how could Chen Keyao regard this thing as a treasure and give it to him?
Could it be that we made a mistake again?
"Your Highness, is this really the gift you gave me?" Su Xian asked, his face still calm.
"Yeah, that's right!"
Su Xian pursed his lips and asked again: "Is this what His Highness said, the best gift in the world?"
"Yes, Brother Su, look carefully. Isn't this gown beautiful? And the embroidery, isn't it very exquisite?" Chen Keyao, with an excited smile, introduced Su Xian one by one, enjoying herself.
Su Xian raised his eyebrows. He was really not in the mood to accompany this childish little princess to play around. His face straightened and he commented mercilessly:
"Could this stitching, this pattern, and this embroidery work be made by a three-year-old child? I have never seen such ugly clothes in my entire life! It's so ugly!"
"..."
Chen Keyao looked stunned after hearing this.
The excited smile on his face faded away in an instant.
The whole person paused there.
He looked at Su Xian with big eyes in confusion, as if there were tears in his eyes.
Su Xian immediately noticed something strange about her and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong, Your Highness?"
"But... but the maids all said... this gown is very beautiful!" Chen Keyao looked at Su Xian with big eyes, tears glistening, and she was about to cry, with a wronged expression on her face.
It looks really pitiful.
Su Xian couldn't bear it.
Then I couldn't help but reflect, did I say something wrong just now?
After frowning for a moment, a flash of lightning flashed across his mind, and he quickly asked: "Your Highness, tell me honestly, this piece of rubbish... no, this gown, was it made by you?"
"Well, it was sewn stitch by stitch."
Chen Keyao nodded.
At the same time, the grievance in her heart reached its peak, and hot tears streamed down her cheeks.
Snapped!
Su Xian slapped his forehead, closed his eyes, and began to brew an emotion.
After a while, he was heard yelling "Ouch" and covering his eyes with his hands, seemingly in great pain.
"Brother Su, what's wrong with you?" Chen Keyao ignored her sadness and waved her sleeves to wipe away her tears while coming to help Su Xian.
"It's okay, it's okay. My eyes hurt just now, but they are better now..." Su Xian rubbed his eyes, then slowly opened his eyes. After seeing Chen Keyao's tear-stained and concerned face, he smiled and said:
"Your Highness, don't worry, I'm fine..."
In the middle of speaking, Su Xian accidentally turned his head and saw the rag, and the rest of the words got stuck in his throat.
I saw his expression change drastically, and he shouted excitedly:
"Wow! Such beautiful clothes, beautiful clothes! The material, the pattern, the stitching, and the embroidery work are all top-notch in the world..."
He directly snatched the piece of rag from Chen Keyao's hands, held it in his arms, and said, "Your Highness, this is a gift you gave me. How can I take it back?"
When Chen Keyao saw this, he was stunned at first, then ecstatic, and immediately burst into tears and laughed: "Brother Su is too worried. Once the gift has been given out, it will not be taken back."
"That's pretty much it." Su Xian hugged the rag tightly, as if he had found something precious.
Chen Keyao was very happy to see that he loved the gift she gave him so much, but the sadness just now was still vivid in her mind, and her face couldn't help but darken:
"But Brother Su just..."
"Just now, I was blind. Then God couldn't see through it, which made my eyes hurt. Now I can finally see clearly. This shabby... this gown is so beautiful. I really like it!"
Su Xian replied loudly.
As if he was afraid that the other party wouldn't hear.
Chen Keyao no longer had any doubts, a pure smile bloomed on her round face, and said: "Since Brother Su likes it so much, then...Brother Su, please put it on now and see if it fits."
"Well……"
Su Xian's face darkened.
This silly girl, doesn’t she know that he is all in disguise?
You've gone too far!
"Your Highness, are you serious?" Su Xian's smile faded and he carefully observed the changes in Chen Keyao's expression.
Chen Keyao looked sincere and said: "Of course I am serious. Brother Su, please change it quickly. If it doesn't fit, I can change it immediately."
"Then... I'll just put it on and try it on." Seeing that she didn't mean it, Su Xian thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.
"I'll help Brother Su change his clothes."
Chen Keyao clapped her hands excitedly and immediately transformed into a little maid...
After a lot of trouble, Su Xian was quite surprised that he actually... put it on!
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Su Xian ignored the asymmetrical sleeves and the extra large area on the abdomen. He covered his conscience and praised repeatedly:
"Okay, it's great, it fits really well, haha, I really like it. Thank you, Your Highness, this gift is truly the best gift in the world!"
Chen Keyao's face was full of joy, but she also pointed to Su Xian's side: "It seems that it is not sewn properly. Let me repair it."
"Don't stop." Su Xian didn't want to waste more time, and said busy: "It's good, it's so good in summer, just like that, I like it very much."
"Oh." Chen Keyao nodded obediently.
After a while, Su Xian thought that Chen Keyao must be satisfied, so he was ready to take off this long gown... trash.
Unexpectedly, Chen Keyao asked first, "Does Brother Su like this gift?"
"I like it." Su Xian forced a smile.
"Brother Su, just keep wearing it, and then we enter the palace and let Father and Sister take a good look at it. He also has skills!" Chen Keyao put his hands on his hips with a look of pride and pride.
"no!"
Su Xian twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely, no matter whether it was good or bad, he refused first.
It was barely okay to try it on, but as for going out to "show off" in front of Emperor Chen and Chen Keyan, Su Xian would not do such an embarrassing thing, it would make him laugh to death.
"Why not?" Chen Keyao looked confused.
"Because..." Su Xian racked his brains, quickly raised his eyebrows, and said seriously: "Because, this precious gift is a little secret between the two of us and cannot be known to outsiders!"
When Chen Keyao heard this, he nodded repeatedly: "Brother Su is right, this is a little secret between the two of us!"
Su Xian struck while the iron was hot and began to take off this piece of garbage, saying:
"This dress is so precious that I can't even bear to wear it. Why don't you take it off and keep it properly? If it gets worn out, won't I be heartbroken?"
"Brother Su, don't worry. If it wears out, Yaoyao will sew another one for you." Even so, Chen Keyao agreed with Su Xian's words and hurriedly stepped forward to help change clothes.
"Then...thank you, Your Highness, Princess."
"..."
after a little while.
The two walked out of the Yue Princess Mansion side by side.
Su Xian breathed a long sigh of relief. He never wanted to come to this hellish place again. It was really torture...
After entering the palace, on the way back to the Imperial Garden, Chen Keyao kept reminding: "Brother Su, don't forget to take me to Daliang. By the way, when does Brother Su plan to set off?"
Su Xian replied numbly: "Don't worry, that's a promise between us and we will never forget it. I plan to leave for the north tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? Is it too soon? But brother Su, don't worry, I will definitely be ready tomorrow. Just don't forget the promise between us, brother Su."
Chen Keyao said.
Su Xian held his forehead and said patiently: "Don't worry, I will never forget the promise between you and me!"
"That's good, thank you, Brother Su."
Chen Keyao's face was filled with joy. She seemed to have seen the beautiful scene of "going north to Daliang". Then she could run around and go crazy without being restrained by the emperor's sister and father. Thinking about it, she felt so free!
At this time, they were walking on a road in the palace, surrounded by thick flowers, plants and trees.
On the fork in the road ahead, hidden by flowers and trees, a voice suddenly came: "What promise?"
Is there anyone in front?
Su Xian and Chen Keyao were both shocked.
Su Xian paid it back, but Chen Keyao, after she identified who the voice belonged to, trembled all over, her legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground.
His face was horrified!
"Your Highness!"
Su Xian was just wondering when he saw a beautiful figure turning out of the fork in the road ahead. Who could it be if it wasn't Princess Chen Keyan of the Kingdom of Wu?
"Yao Yao, why are you so careless? You can fall down even when walking on the road."
Chen Keyan nodded to Su Xian, smiled sweetly, and hurriedly walked to her sister, lifted her up lovingly, and gently patted the dirt and leaves on Chen Keyao's dress.
"Sister Huang, I...I..."
Chen Keyao was extremely panicked and secretly said: "It's over, it's over, it's terrible now, the imperial sister discovered it!"
"Okay, just be careful from now on. You are my princess of Nanchen. You should be cautious in everything you say and do. If you are rude, you may be laughed at by everyone in the world."
Chen Keyan smiled and persuaded:
"By the way, what promise did you just hear you make? What is that?"
When Chen Keyao heard this, she immediately understood in her heart that Sister Huang probably only heard the word "promise" and none of the others...
It seemed that he was not discovered, so Chen Keyao slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Huang must have misunderstood just now, and she didn't make any promise."
Out of caution, Chen Keyao had the idea of deceiving the emperor's sister, but when she saw the emperor's sister looked confused, she immediately thought of changing the subject and blurted out:
"Sister Huang, if one day I am no longer here, I will take good care of my father."
"Are you gone? Where are you going?" Chen Keyan immediately asked.
oops!
Why bring this up?
Chen Keyao suddenly looked like a Muggle and became more and more panicked. She shook her head and said, "No, no, the emperor misunderstood. I didn't mean that..."
Chen Keyan's eyes were burning, she took half a step forward and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"No, no, I didn't want to elope with Brother Su..." Chen Keyao was almost frightened, and actually revealed the biggest secret in her heart in front of the imperial sister.
On the side, Su Xian turned sideways, his face darkened, and he gently rubbed his eyebrows.
When Chen Keyan heard this, her eyebrows immediately stood up, and her tone became a little more serious: "What did you say? Elope? You?"
"I did not say anything!"
After reacting, Chen Keyao secretly stamped his feet. After hastily denying it, he hurriedly covered his mouth with both hands.
It was this mouth that "talked nonsense" that caused her a lot of harm...
"Hmm, we have been out of the palace for a long time, so we should go back to the Imperial Garden to see His Majesty first." Su Xian turned around, glanced at Chen Keyao who was covering his mouth tightly, and shook his head secretly.
"That's right, I'm just here to pick you up." Chen Keyan smiled and immediately took Su Xian and the others into the palace.
Of course, as the imperial sister, she had to teach Chen Keyao a lesson on the way...
Chen Keyao knew she was a bitch, so she puffed out her cheeks and didn't open her mouth the whole time. This made her face rounder and looked inexplicably cute.
