C7

This bracelet was the one that she and Xiao Yan had discussed the other day. She didn't expect it to be made so quickly.

It was indeed very beautiful, dignified and unassuming.

Looking at the bracelet, Yan Yuqing smiled. How could someone as smart as her not understand Xiao Yan's thoughts? He just didn't expect that he would use this move.

He struck while the iron was hot to create momentum.

This pigeon egg-sized emerald was not in the treasury, and it was probably the only one in the entire capital.

When everyone heard that Xiao Yan wanted to give this rare treasure to Yan Yuqing, they were all bewildered.

That kid from the Xiao family gave away the treasure just like that?

Yan Yuqing was also stunned for a moment when she heard Xiao Bi Luo's words.

She looked in Xiao Yan's direction and he smiled back at her with a reassured look.

Yan Yuqing wore a gem bracelet, accentuating her long and slender hand to her skin.

A few ladies around the same grade as Yan Yuqing were looking at the bracelets, asking what kind of gems they were and where they came from.

As they were chatting and laughing, a handsome young man, a husband, walked in from the entrance of the palace, escorted by a group of people.

His expression was cold and arrogant. His black clothes were embroidered with golden cloud patterns, giving him a domineering look.

The group of people surrounding him maintained a distance of half a step away from him.

The ladies beside Yan Yuqing began whispering excitedly.

"He must be the crown prince."

"The Crown Prince is so young?"

"Don't just look at how young he is. My father said that he will do whatever he wants in the imperial court. On the battlefield, people kill without blinking an eye. "

"Oh, I can't see it." A few girls covered their mouths and exclaimed softly when they heard this.

It was hard to associate such a bright and clean face with such a bloody scene.

As Xuanyuan Jue walked over, he acted as if there was no one around. When he passed by Yan Yuqing, he shot a glance at her before his gaze landed on the resplendent and luxurious gem bracelet.

Without stopping for a moment, he stepped forward to offer his congratulations to the empress.

Xuanyuan Jue's congratulatory gift was a long-lost 'Art of Ethereal Opening'. Legend has it that it contained a 'Inborn Pellet' that even immortals could consume, and after a mortal consumed it, they could be like an immortal, never dying.

"I wonder where the crown prince found him?" The people around them had already started whispering to each other.

For everyone, this pill was something that they all rushed for.

Staring at the < Ethereal Opening Art >, Yan Yuqing thought to herself, "What a great skill!"

However, like her father, Yan Yuqing did not believe in these theories of longevity. She had also browsed through a few ancient books, and there were records of people dying suddenly after consuming medicinal pills that were inappropriate. It was a common occurrence.

From the group of people behind Xuanyuan Jue, an old man with a child's face and crane hair wearing a weirdo's crown and a greyish-white robe attracted the attention of the empress.

Xuanyuan Jue stepped forward and introduced him, "This is the old deity, Ge Hong, who is living in seclusion in Floating Mountain Mountain. He was once a famous doctor in the capital and was obsessed with alchemy. He lived in seclusion within the Floating Cloud Mountain for many years.

The empress and many of the people present knew his name.

This time, the reason Xuanyuan Jue had invited him over was most likely because he wanted to refine the "Inborn Pellet" of the 'Art of Ethereal Opening'.

He had heard that the ingredients needed for that pill were extremely hard to find, and the entire production process was extremely complicated. If he could obtain a single pill, he wouldn't have to trade it for tens of thousands of gold.

The emperor had been bedridden for many years, and the empress was very fond of his gift.

It seemed that Xuanyuan Jue had also put his heart into this congratulatory gift.

The empress happily arranged Xuanyuan Jue next to her and ordered someone to place Yan Yuqing's desk not far from her.

Xuanyuan Jue held onto his wine cup and walked over. He pointed at the bracelet on Yan Yuqing's hand and said seriously, "How can you casually take something from someone else? Let me help you return the gesture. "

The moment he said that, he declared in front of everyone that Yan Yuqing was someone he had his eyes on.

Yan Yuqing glared fiercely at Xuanyuan Jue as she unhappily drank a bottle of fruit wine on the table. She said angrily, "How could I dare trouble the crown prince?"

The cup fall on the table and come out

'Bang! 'a muffled sound was heard.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Jue didn't pay any attention to him nor was he angry. He continued to drink as he smiled, "After the first batch of pills opens, I'll give you a pill."

Gasps could be heard from the surroundings.

If the furnace was activated, it could be turned into a pill. However, it was only three to five pills, and he had already given one out.

Everyone looked at Xiao Yan in unison, their eyes filled with jealousy and envy.

Xiao Yan originally didn't believe in these theories, but seeing how everyone was already acting, if he opened his mouth and refused, he was afraid that he would become the target of public criticism.

He could only bow and solemnly express his thanks before letting the matter drop.

From his father, Xiao Youyi, Master Xuanyuan knew that their Xiao Clan's lineage had reformed their body and body, and had concocted vicious pills.

He did it on purpose.

Give him what no one can get and see how he does it. Xuanyuan Jue remained calm and collected, secretly pleased with himself.

He was going to give Yan Yuqing's bracelet in front of everyone so that she could teach him a lesson this time.

How could Yan Yuqing understand what Xuanyuan Jue was thinking? She only felt that he was not as friendly to Xiao Yan as he looked on the surface.

Amongst everyone present, only Xiao Yan understood his Senior Brother best. Being able to make his warnings and revenge so watertight was his usual style.

But he didn't care.

Xuanyuan Jue liked leading soldiers to war, so he was ordered to help with horse training. Xuanyuan Jue loved the tranquility of the world, so he wanted to guard Longxian.

Xiao Youyi had asked him to cooperate with Xuanyuan Jue's actions in order to stabilize the Liu clan, but he also had his own goals.

Looking at Yan Yuqing, who was wearing a jeweled bracelet, Xiao Yan felt warmth in his heart as he thought about how, from tomorrow onwards, their business would be tightly tied together and their products would be sought after by the ladies of the capital.

He knew that this was Yan Yuqing's wish.

However, he still could not figure out why a lady of the soldier race like Yan Yuqing was only interested in business and loved to earn money.

Xiao Yan's eyes carried a hazy look. However, when Xuanyuan Jue saw it, it became too piercing for him to bear.

The dinner party had unknowingly come to an end.

In order to cheer the empress up, the Northern Hu envoys even ordered their entourage to dance a song called "The Year of the Year".

Yan Yuqing dragged her exhausted body along with her mother, Crown Princess Cui, and returned to the Residence of Yun without a word.

The next morning, the sun penetrated the rolling clouds and shone on the green bamboo's joyful face.

"Miss, Xiao Yan just sent someone to say that someone wanted to buy the ten coral hairpins when the store opened this morning."

Green Bamboo looked at Yan Yuqing's expression and continued, "Xiao Yan asks if you can sell it?"
