Chapter 333 Blood Amber Stone

The third prince took the first step, and the others followed closely behind.

As for the matter of taking the Prince of Nanzhao and the Princess of the Western Regions on a tour, the Third Prince originally wanted to just deal with it casually.

But on second thought... he felt a little excited.

Aina followed Jiang Yueyang, staring at her with blinking eyes.

Jiang Yueyang smiled at her, not knowing what to say to this little fan girl.

After a while, perhaps mustering up the courage, Aina reached out and carefully grabbed Jiang Yueyang's cloak.

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Ayi Na asked in a low voice: "Can I hold your hand?"

"all right."

Hearing this, Aina happily took Jiang Yueyang's arm and unexpectedly saw the ruby ​​bracelet on her hand.

"Wow, this gem bracelet of yours is made of blood amber. One of these gems would cost a ton of silver!"

"How much silver do you want?"

"Ok?"

Seeing her confusion, Jiang Yueyang explained, "It was a gift from someone."

A hint of surprise flashed across Aimu's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Blood amber is a special kind of ruby, which is only found in the deep valleys of the extremely cold land in our Western Regions. It is extremely rare.

And, it also has a meaning.”

"What does it mean?"

Aimu leaned close to Jiang Yueyang's ear in a mysterious voice, "This blood amber stone symbolizes love that lasts until death. In our Western Regions, it is given to the beloved."

Although Aimu lowered his voice, everyone who should and shouldn't have heard it heard it.

Jiang Yueyang gently stroked the bracelet, a blush on her face. Ah Yue was that idiot who could only give gifts but not say anything.

At this time, the third prince turned around to look at Jiang Yueyang and the others, his eyes passing over the bracelet.

His voice was filled with obvious impatience. "Could you please walk faster?"

Hearing this, Aina clung to Jiang Yueyang like a frightened little rabbit, and an imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of Ayimu's mouth.

Luo Cheng forced a meaningful smile, as if he had discovered a new world.

After glancing at the third prince, Loge glanced sideways at Qingzhi and the other two who were protecting him, and thought deeply.

This female official was not only protected by a master in secret, but also had someone following her closely in public.

How important is she that so many people have to protect her openly and secretly?

Those people who secretly protect her...whose people are they?

After walking for a while, Prince Luo Cheng broke the silence, "Your Highness, Third Prince, could we go to the Imperial College to take a look?"

"No unauthorized persons are allowed into the Imperial College. Prince Luocheng needs to ask permission before entering. I'm afraid it's not possible today."

"Is that so?" Prince Luo Cheng smiled faintly. "Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness to ask for your instructions."

"Easy to say."

Jiang Yueyang turned his eyes to look at the Third Prince. It was true that the Imperial College was off-limits to outsiders, but it was still easy for the Third Prince to bring people in.

"I almost forgot." The Third Prince turned his head and looked over, just in time to meet Jiang Yueyang's eyes. "Jiang Yueyang, my father asked me to tell you that you have to attend tomorrow's ceremony to worship the heavens."

During the winter solstice in Daxia, the emperor would lead his ministers to the Circular Mound in the suburbs to hold a grand ceremony to worship the heavens.

This is to remember the ancestors, express gratitude to God and pray for good weather, peace and prosperity in the coming year.

Jiang Yueyang nodded, "I understand."

Seeing the atmosphere return to normal, Ayimu said, "I heard that the Winter Solstice is a very important festival for you Daxia people. It is usually celebrated with family and is a time for reunion."

"Yeah, it's about the same as the Spring Festival."

"That's great." Aimu showed an envious expression.

Jiang Yueyang smiled. It was still unclear what the purpose of the people from Nanzhao and the Western Regions was now, so it was better to act cautiously.

Before they knew it, they arrived at a bustling market.

The bustling crowd and the dazzling array of goods made Jiang Yueyang, a local, eye-catching.

Ayi Na saw the candy figurine-blowing stall, pulled Jiang Yueyang over, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Girl, this is a sugar figure."

"Blow?" Aina tilted her head in confusion.

The stall owner nodded and said, "Would you like to blow one, girl? Any animal will do."

"I want to blow!" Jiang Yueyang responded loudly.

"Five cents a pop, what do you want to blow, girl?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Yueyang thought for a moment, "I want to blow a turtle!"

"Okay!"

The stall owner skillfully pinched out a piece of syrup, pulled out a thin tube and handed it to Jiang Yueyang.

Jiang Yueyang puffed out her cheeks and blew air. The stall owner slowly pinched the Tangxi in his hand, occasionally asking Jiang Yueyang to blow more gently.

After a while, the outline of the turtle emerged.

The Third Prince said, "She likes cute things. Let's make the turtle fatter."

The stall owner smiled and nodded.

Soon, a cute turtle took shape. It was really adorable.

The stall owner cut the thin tube used for blowing air, inserted a wooden skewer into the turtle, and handed it to Jiang Yueyang, "Girl, this is your turtle."

Ayi Na's eyes were filled with wonder, and she shouted, "I want to blow it, too! I want to blow it, too!"

"Ma...what does Aina want to blow?"

"I...I want to blow a lamb."

The stall owner smiled and asked Aina to blow air into the cigarette, but after a while the smile on his face disappeared.

Because Aina had no skills in blowing, she either used too much force or her breath was too weak, making it difficult for the stall owner to control the shape.

In the end, Aina got a long sheep horn bag and two fat sheep with big bellies.

Let’s just call it a sheep.

"It's too ugly. I need to blow a new one."

"You'd better stop blowing it." The Third Prince stepped forward and said, "I want to blow a tiger."

Aina didn't dare to argue with the third prince, so she stood aside and watched with puffed cheeks and a wronged look on her face.

Jiang Yueyang smiled and turned to ask Loge and the other two, "Do you want to blow?"

Aimu shook his head and declined.

Prince Luo Cheng said disdainfully, "Only children play with these things."

Prince Loge still had that indifferent look, but there seemed to be a slight change in his expression.

“Haha…it’s me indeed!”

The Third Prince's voice came, and Jiang Yueyang just turned her head to look, and a cute little tiger appeared in front of her.

"Jiang Yueyang, look at this little tiger. Isn't it cute?"

"Yeah, cute."

At this moment, a shout was heard from a distance.

"Third Brother!"

A few people looked in the direction of the sound, and then saw the Sixth Prince waving at them, and Lu Yunting beside him.

The third prince clicked his tongue.

After a while, the two of them walked in front of a few people, and Lu Yunting stood beside Jiang Yueyang as usual.

Jiang Yueyang secretly held his hand.

Lu Yunting's pupils suddenly dilated in surprise. The next second, he felt the warmth in his hand and wanted to pull it away, so he quickly tightened his grip.

"Why are you here?" The third prince was full of resentment towards the sixth prince.

"I'm out for fun!" The Sixth Prince shyly glanced at Ayimu, "Third brother, isn't it a coincidence that we can meet here?"

The Third Prince chuckled, "Why are you guys together?"

He still remembered that his sixth brother and Lu Yunting had some unpleasantness before, and their relationship could not be so harmonious.

The Sixth Prince spoke truthfully: "It was just a coincidence."

Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, the Third Prince looked at Lu Yunting and said, "I didn't expect General Lu to come to the market."

“I went shopping with someone once before and it was pretty good.”
