sbdcsierra Chapter 391 Sigh, she asked unnecessary questions.
Chapter 391 Sigh, she asked unnecessary questions.
Long Chuqing's gaze fell on another exquisite wooden box, which contained the hairpin that Xiao Han had given her for the first time.
I still remember him saying, "This hairpin may not be as good as your phoenix hairpin, but it was carved by my own hands. I wonder if you like it?"
Her fingertips traced the hairpin, the white magnolia carved on the head of the hairpin was exquisitely crafted, with layered petals that were lifelike.
She had worn this hairpin in her hair countless times and still liked it quite a bit.
Now that I think about it carefully, I realize that I have never given him anything in return.
They felt that as a prince, gold and silver treasures were nothing special to him, and because they didn't know his preferences, they never thought of giving him anything in return.
Will he feel resentful and disappointed because of this?
What might he lack?
Is there something he desires but does not currently possess?
"Xiao Han has given me so many things, but I don't think I've ever given him anything in return?"
"Tell me... what might he be lacking?" Long Chuqing asked softly. "I'll see if I can find it for him."
What does the prince lack?
This question caused both Fei Feng and Feng Yu to fall into deep thought.
Feng Yu chuckled lightly: "Isn't there a saying? It goes something like this: One hundred or two hundred is not too little, three thousand or five thousand is just right, thirty thousand or fifty thousand is all I want, one hundred thousand or eighty thousand is not too much, the more the better, take whatever you want. No one will complain about having too much gold and silver."
"Why don't you keep all these things? It's the same as giving them to him."
Fei Feng was speechless: Why did they even start making a rhyme?
That's clearly not what Qingqing meant.
Tsk! How did this guy even read the question?
"Qingqing isn't referring to money or material possessions, but rather what Your Highness lacks?"
Feng Yu seemed to be deep in thought: "Oh... what's missing? I'll have to think about it carefully..."
Feng Yu pondered for a moment, then her phoenix eyes lit up, and she said with great interest, "As for money! He certainly doesn't lack it, so it can only be the highest position, such as the position of crown prince? Or... the throne?"
Long Chuqing: "..."
The throne? How could she even think of that?
This throne is not one that can be sat on casually.
Oh! She asked unnecessary questions.
Long Chuqing shook his head inwardly, but still silently gave her a thumbs up.
Fei Feng: "..."
Upon hearing this, Fei Feng's phoenix eyes widened in surprise.
It has to be you! You dare to dream.
But why does this seem even more outrageous than hers?
"What do you think? Isn't my idea brilliant and ingenious?"
Feng Yu continued to ask questions with great interest, clearly unaware of Long Chuqing and Fei Feng's speechless reaction.
Long Chuqing said, "That's a good answer, but you'd better not answer anymore."
Fei Feng said calmly, "Let's not think about the throne. Whether it belongs to him or not is a matter of fate. Besides, he has so many older brothers! I don't think the prince has any intention of vying for the throne."
"Besides, do you really want Qingqing to fight for the throne for him? She is bound by the laws of Heaven and must not be involved in this struggle for the throne."
Feng Yu said awkwardly, "I just said it casually to lighten the mood, why did you two take it so seriously?"
Hey! Don't you understand humor?
She noticed that Qingqing seemed a bit distracted and wanted to liven things up a bit; the two of them were really boring.
Long Chuqing said helplessly, "Forget it, you two stop guessing. I think he lacks nothing, he has no worries about food, drink, or clothing, so I don't need to worry about him at all."
Fei Feng pondered for a while, then teased, "He has no shortage of gold and silver treasures, but it seems he's lacking a princess. What do you think? Would you like to stay and be his wife?"
Hehe... Inspired by Feng Yu, she took the opportunity to make a joke, and it seemed to be quite fun.
Feng Yu immediately chimed in, "Yes, I'm sure he'd be very happy to."
Long Chuqing: "..."
After listening, Long Chu sighed and decided to ignore it, pretending she hadn't asked.
Neither of them is reliable.
I overestimated them; they actually came up with some terrible ideas.
Long Chuqing said leisurely, "Don't joke around."
Alright! She's in a bad mood tonight, so I won't tease her.
Fei Feng thought about it seriously for a moment, then said solemnly, "By the way, don't you still have a spare dragon scale? Give it to him! It can protect him in a crisis."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yu nodded and replied, "Yes, this item is indeed unique in the world. If it is for Your Highness, it can be given as a gift."
Considering the prince's usual care and genuine affection for Qingqing, I'll reluctantly agree!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to give away something so precious.
Upon hearing this, Long Chuqing slowly opened her palm, and a dragon scale shimmering with five colors appeared in her hand, crystal clear, as if stars were flowing within it.
This is her natal object; it can be summoned with just her will, without the need for spiritual power.
Long Chuqing looked at the dragon scale in her hand, pondered for a moment, and said softly, "Alright."
She carefully wrapped the two hairpins neatly and placed them in the innermost layer of the bundle.
-
The night was as dark as ink. Long Chuqing evaded the patrolling guards and once again quietly sneaked into Xiao Han's room.
Passing around the screen, inside the room, a faint candlelight flickered gently, and the dim yellow light shone through the curtains, vaguely revealing Xiao Han's reclining figure.
Long Chuqing slowly approached the bed.
Xiao Han woke up immediately after hearing a slight noise in his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Long Chuqing sitting by the bed.
The previously sharp look in his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and confusion when he saw Long Chuqing.
"Chu Qing...is that you?"
Long Chuqing felt slightly embarrassed: Sigh, I've barged into someone's dormitory in the middle of the night again, disturbing their peaceful sleep.
"Ahem..." She coughed lightly and asked softly, "Um... I didn't scare you, did I?"
After all, in the dead of night, when everyone is sound asleep, it would be startling to have someone suddenly appear by the bedside.
People with heart conditions might be so frightened they lose their souls or even faint.
Moreover, she did it several times...
If it were someone with poor psychological resilience, even if they were perfectly fine, they would probably get sick from the fright!
Although Xiao Han woke up when he sensed someone approaching, he didn't immediately tense up. After all, he had experienced this situation several times before and was somewhat prepared.
Apart from Chu Qing, probably no one else would dare to trespass into his residence like this.
Even if others wanted to try, they would probably find it difficult to succeed.
Qing Tong and the others had already strengthened their defenses around the area. Chu Qing was able to sneak in silently, which must have been due not only to her own extraordinary abilities but also to the tacit approval of Qing Tong and the others.
"No."
Xiao Han's voice was still a little hoarse from just waking up.
Xiao Han propped himself up and sat up, asking, "Why did you come here? Is something wrong? Or are you feeling unwell?"
He remembered... that today was not the fifteenth.
Could it be that I just woke up today and am feeling unwell?
Long Chuqing shook her head, then lowered her eyes: "I feel no discomfort."
