“Us imperial family’s daughters, nothing is too precious to wear,” Qu Qing Ju smiled as she touched He Xuan’s hair buns, “Our Xuan’er is more beautiful than jade, I was afraid that this jade was too tacky for our guniang.” Finishing, she took another jade pendant from Mu Jin’s hands, “Here, Cheng’er, this is for you.”
He Cheng looked at Jin An Princess and seeing the princess didn’t block him, he took it and gave a bow: “Thank you er juimu.” He spread his palm. It was a bat carved from a piece of black jade. Bats represented good fortune and were appropriate to give to young children.
Jin An Princess saw that er dimei had given very thoughtful gifts. These two jade pendants had been carved skillfully, the material itself was rare and couldn’t be found in normal places. She said to He Xuan, “Xuan’er, come down quickly from er jiumu’s knee. Don’t crush your er jiumu. Sit beside your mother here and prepare to eat.”
He Xuan jumped down from Qu Qing Ju’s knee and smiled as she ran to the spot beside Jin An Princess. He Cheng followed her as she sat down. Qu Qing Ju gave a sigh as she watched. The children in the previous life really should learn from these children, the gap was too large.
Wei Qing E had already met the two children before, so it didn’t matter if she gave a less weighty gift. But Qin Bai Lu fell into an awkward state. Both she and Qu Qing Ju were newly married. The first meeting with these two children, Qu Qing Ju gave out gifts before her. The gifts she had already prepared were embarrassing in comparison.
