Chapter 187 (1/2)

Returning Politeness for Politeness

Long MuChen’s gaze faintly swept over the entire hall and in the end, landed on Qian DuoDuo’s body.

He watched as the young girl smiled towards him and Long MuChen’s tightly bunched muscles slightly relaxed.

He pretended to be shocked: “The third WangFei is here also ah?”

Pretend! Keep pretending! As it turned out, you have been following me ah!

Qian DuoDuo silently disagreed but towards Long MuChen’s caring actions, she felt a little sweet.

She innocently smiled: “Empress said that she and I were able to hit it off so she was chatting with me for a while. Fourteen, do you think the dangling ornament that the Empress gifted me is good looking?”

Long MuChen followed Qian DuoDuo’s hands and saw the dazzling gem. He was a little surprised from his expression: “This was offered as tribute by Nan Zhao Country, customized for the Empress’s birthday. It is very valuable and precious. The Empress actually gifted this to you? You must be very blessed ah…”

When the Empress heard this, she grinned so widely that she wasn’t able to close her mouth: “Fourteen is speaking jokes. What precious and valuable? As long as Duo Er likes it then it’s fine.”

Well, I also like your entire Feng Zao Palace. Are you going to give it to me!?

Qian DuoDuo chuckled: “Yes ah, the Empress gifted me this dangling ornament and I also give the hairpin that my mother gave me to the Empress. Mother, since childhood, had taught me that don’t get a reward if I don’t deserve it. If I deserve it, I need to return the kindness…The friendship between men of virtue is light as water, yet affectionate; the friendship between men without virtue is sweet like wine, yet easily broken. I know my manners…”

Qian DuoDuo smoothly and efficiently pushed the matter of receiving bribery off cleanly and in the end, she didn’t forget to compliment herself.

Especially that returning kindness for kindness. She made the boundary between her and the Empress thoroughly.

This girl, given the advantage and still wanted to act as though she was obedient…A broken hairpin was exchanged for a precious and priceless golden dangling ornament and spoke as though with justice.
