Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Li Ji stared at the purse, unable to make a sound for a long time.

Hua Manman happily asked: "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Li Ji took a deep breath and reached for his purse.

"It was indeed a surprise."

These words seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, with a bit of gnashing of teeth in surprise.

He really wanted to ask the little thing, didn't he agree to make him a cloak?

Why did it end up as a purse?

The gap between the cloak and the pouch is too great.

Hua Manman blinked: "Don't you like it?"

This is her first time making purses.

Although it wasn't perfect, it was pretty good for a novice like her.

Hua Manman sighed: "It's fine if you don't like it."

In all fairness, the purse she made is really not very pretty.

On weekdays, the purse that the embroiderer made for her was embroidered with patterns, with fine and precise stitches, and decorated with pearls and ears of wheat.

But the purse she made was bare, without any decoration.

It's not very beautiful to look at.

Hua Manman stretched out his hand, wanting to take back the purse from King Zhao's hand.

However, Li Ji avoided her hand.

"I didn't say I didn't like it."

After speaking, he stuffed the purse into his sleeve, not wanting Hua Manman to touch it again.

Hua Manman was quite happy to see this.

It seems that King Zhao likes the purse she made very much!

Her craftsmanship is really good.

When they returned to Prince Zhao's Mansion, Master Feihe gave him the birthday gift he had prepared, and then he said goodbye and left.

What he gave King Zhao was a prescription.

Before Hua Manman could see clearly the contents of the prescription, Li Ji had already put away the prescription.

Hua Manman asked curiously.

"What is that prescription for?"

Li Ji smiled mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."

Seeing that he was playing tricks again, Hua Man snorted dissatisfiedly.

During the days when they were not at home, Gao Shan took care of the entire palace in an orderly manner.

Hua Manman asked casually.

"Has anyone visited the palace recently?"

Gao Shan answered truthfully: "Only Princess Ningyang sent someone here once, and nothing else."

Hua Manman understood that King Zhao's reputation was too scary, so no one in Shangjing dared to associate with King Zhao.

The only one who is willing to walk with him is his grandmother, Princess Ningyang.

Hua Manman: "What's the matter, Your Highness the Eldest Princess?"

Gao Shan smiled and said: "Isn't it almost the prince's birthday? Her Royal Highness would like to ask how the prince will celebrate his birthday? She can arrange the time in advance."

Now that King Zhao is going to celebrate his birthday in the palace, Princess Dachang doesn't have to come to the palace, she can just go to the palace.

Hua Manman nodded to show that he understood.

Tonight's birthday banquet is specially prepared for King Zhao, so of course Li Ji, the person involved, should dress up well.

As his main concubine, Hua Manman had to take care of herself seriously.

Concubine Zhao's gown had already been prepared, and there were several layers inside and outside. After putting them all on, she felt that she had gained a lot of weight.

Fortunately, it is late autumn and the temperature has dropped, so it doesn't matter if you wear thicker clothes.

If it was summer, wearing such thick clothes would definitely cause heatstroke.

Not only are the clothes heavy, but the hair accessories on the head and the jewelry on the neck and wrists are also very heavy.

Hua Manman looked at the tall bun on her head in the mirror, worried that it might fall down, so she couldn't help raising her hand to help it.

Si Yun pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the slave is tied tightly, so it won't fall down."

Hua Manman felt even more uncomfortable.

It was because her hair was tied up too tightly that her scalp ached.

She was very worried whether she would go bald at an early age if this continued.

Ruyun helped her go out, and saw King Zhao who was already dressed.

Li Ji was wearing a red wide-sleeved Mianfu.

Few men can control this color, because if they are not careful, they will give off a ghostly feeling.

Li Ji was different.

The killing aura of him that has been cultivated in the battlefield for a long time, blended with this rich and gorgeous crimson, not only does he not feel demonic, but has a daunting aura that makes people daunting.

Coupled with his deep and narrow eyebrows and three-dimensional facial features, it adds a bit of mysterious beauty.

However, at this time, all the beauty was destroyed by the green purse on his waist.

Hua Manman covered her eyes.

Red and green are fatal!

Li Ji seemed to want to disgust her on purpose, he insisted on putting his purse in the most conspicuous position, and asked with a smile.

"This is a pouch you made yourself. Does it look good on me?"

Hua Manman really didn't have the eyes to look any further, and suggested sincerely.

"This purse doesn't match your clothes today, why don't you change to another purse?"

But Li Ji insisted: "This is the pouch you made for me with your own hands. It is your birthday present to me. Of course I want to wear it on my body today."

Hua Manman never imagined that the purse she sewed with her own hands would have such a powerful lethality.

Really hot eyes!

Li Ji took her hand: "Let's go."

Hua Manman tried to struggle to the death: "Are you really not considering changing your purse?"

Li Ji gently but firmly rejected her proposal.

"I think this purse is very special. When I enter the palace, if someone asks me where this purse came from? I will say that you made it yourself."

Hua Manman: "..."

I suspect you are humiliating me on purpose.

The two entered the palace in a carriage.

The emperor ordered people to hold the birthday banquet in Tangli Tower, and only invited his own family, so there were not so many rules and restrictions, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

Hua Manman and Li Ji were seated closest to the head.

As long as they turned their heads, they could see the emperor and queen mother sitting on top.

Originally, the emperor should sit next to the queen.

However, the queen was sent to the imperial mausoleum. I don't know if there is any hope of returning in this life.

The place representing the queen's status is now vacant.

This naturally moved many concubines present.

From time to time, they glanced at the empty seat next to the emperor, each with their own plans in mind.

The emperor didn't notice the undercurrent among the concubines, so he ordered someone to bring the birthday gift to King Zhao.

It is a red coral ornament that is as tall as a person.

The appearance and fineness of the coral are excellent, and it is a rare treasure at a glance.

Immediately afterwards, the princes also sent their congratulatory gifts one after another.

What the second prince Li Hao gave was a sword inlaid with many precious stones.

He said he bought it at a high price from a Hu merchant, and he liked it very much.

"The sword is given to the hero. King Zhao has made great contributions to our Great Zhou. This sword should be given to you."

Li Ji took the sword and thanked him.

He casually handed the sword to Chen Wangbei who was standing beside him.

This sword looks colorful and beautiful, but it is actually useless.

No one would go into battle with such a sword that could blind people's eyes.

Its final outcome can only be placed at home as an ornament.
