Ugly Beauty: The Second Miss Waste

Chapter 141 The Phoenix Is Flying Five

"That's right! From my point of view, Dong Ling himself is poor."

"It's not impossible. Where can I get any treasures in Tangling."

Qingcheng couldn't help lowering her head and laughing, with smiles on the corners of her eyes and brows.

The queen mother saw Qingcheng smiling with her head down, a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes.

"Prince Dongling's gift to Ai's family must be definitely not an ordinary bead chain. Show that to Ai's family." The queen mother said to the female officer, and the female officer respectfully presented the bead chain.

The Empress Dowager touched the string of beads, each bead was tinged with red, and it was more like something floating in blood. It was very beautiful, and it felt very comfortable to touch, as if being enveloped by happiness.

She took a closer look, she had never seen this kind of item before, and the rare treasures couldn't escape.

"Thank you Dong Ling for giving the Ai family this rare treasure, the second prince has taken care of you." The queen mother thanked Chu Ziyue in a gentle and polite manner.

Chu Ziyue got up to return the salute, and replied politely: "As long as the queen mother likes it, this thing is called Xuepo. I hope the queen mother will cherish it."

After hearing this, the emperor frowned in displeasure, "Xue Po, even giving something with blood on it for his birthday, isn't this intentional to send bad luck?"

Before the emperor could speak, a minister questioned him first, and that minister was Doctor Yushi.

Doctor Yushi stepped forward, and said to Chu Ziyue with an unfriendly expression: "Since the second prince of Dongling knows Canglan Xifo, why didn't he know that mentioning blood characters is forbidden at the birthday banquet?"

Chu Ziyue paused, as if a little surprised.

Then he looked at Doctor Yu Shi with a half-smile, and asked him in a deep voice: "Does Doctor Yu Shi not know what blood amber is?"

Doctor Yushi's old face turned black, and he was about to refute, but the queen mother suddenly stopped him.

"Yue Qing, you step back."

Doctor Yu Shi had to retreat resentfully, quite displeased.

"Qingcheng, tell me, what is this?" The queen mother suddenly turned to ask Qingcheng who was watching, calculation flashed in her eyes.

Chu Ziyue's eyes also shifted to Qingcheng, and other eyes that had finally moved away turned back to Qingcheng.

Looking at the queen mother's appearance, Qingcheng knew that she was too presumptuous to watch a good show, and the queen mother was not happy, or the queen mother knew that she knew about blood amber.

Seeing that she was not moving, the queen mother sat there and looked at her fixedly. The queen mother did not move, but looked at Qingcheng.

As early as when she saw the string of beads, Qingcheng had already confirmed that it was blood amber. Hearing what Chu Ziyue said, although she wondered why Chu Ziyue would take out the string of beads made of blood amber, it was completely pure. Natural, and each bead is about the same size and color.

Natural blood amber is very rare, and the technology of this time and space is definitely not as good as modern technology, so this string of beads must have taken a lot of thought.

"Didn't the second prince just say that this is Xuepo?" Qingcheng simply pretended to be stupid and said such a sentence speciously.

The ministers sighed in disappointment, but Chu Ziyue looked at Qingcheng with interest and never moved away.

When the Queen Mother heard Qingcheng's answer, she breathed a sigh of relief in her chest, why is this girl so stubborn.

"What the princess said is right, it is indeed blood amber, but doesn't the princess have a deeper understanding?" Chu Ziyue said with a smile, and continued to ask Qingcheng pretending to be stupid.

He had a hunch that Qingcheng knew the origin of Xuepo.

Qingcheng shook her head politely and didn't want to say more.

"The princess is really unusual. The more you want to give the princess a gift, and ask the princess to accept it." Chu Ziyue said something vaguely, and then took out a small round box from his sleeve. The previous square box, this round box has too much fine workmanship, the palm-sized box actually engraves a scene of the capital of Tanglin, houses and shops, pedestrians and horses, it is just a floor plan.
