Seeing Zhou Ruo like this, Lin Jiuqing had no intention of continuing to salute. He just asked softly: "How come the noble concubine has time to come to my place?"

Zhou Ruo smiled and said, "If it weren't for the fact that Sister Chen Fei likes quietness, I would like to come and bother you from time to time so that I can talk to Sister Chen Fei."

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said nothing.

Zhou Ruo took the tray from Cui Ping and said with a smile, "Today is the eldest prince's birthday. I came here specially to give him a gift."

Lin Jiuqing was a little surprised. The other concubines all sent people to deliver gifts, but Zhou Ruo came in person. It was too grand.

Lin Jiuqing was a little embarrassed: "It's just a child's birthday, a noble concubine doesn't have to do this."

"Yes," Zhou Ruo handed the thing in his hand forward, "If you have a little thought, sister Chen Fei, don't dislike it."

Lin Jiuqing was silent for a moment, but still reached out to take the tray, lifted the red cloth covering it, and when he saw what was on the tray, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This is a pair of mother-and-child jade pendants made of mutton-fat white jade. The texture is soft and delicate, and it is obvious that they are worth a lot of money.

"This is too expensive," Lin Jiuqing said quickly, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, how can he afford it?"

"He is the eldest prince, and he is of His Majesty's blood. What can't he afford?" Zhou Ruo said with a smile, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to get rid of this thing and will offend you."

How could Lin Jiuqing dare to dislike it? He quickly said: "The gift from the imperial concubine is precious, so why should I dislike it?"

Zhou Ruo smiled and said, "A beautiful jade goes well with a beautiful woman. This jade pendant is perfect for you and the eldest prince."

Lin Jiuqing was silent for a moment and nodded to Zhou Ruo: "Then I will take the place of the eldest prince. Thank you very much for the noble concubine's generous gift."

Zhou Ruo smiled and nodded, lowering his eyes slightly, and saw the violet jade bracelet on Lin Jiuqing's wrist. Zhou Ruo was stunned, and then his eyes darkened, and the smile on his face froze a little.

"Sister Chen Fei's bracelet... this is the first time I've seen it."

Lin Jiuqing heard her mention the bracelet, glanced down, and then pulled her sleeves down slightly to cover up the bracelet: "Yes, it's the first time I'm wearing it today. Naturally, the imperial concubine has never seen it before."

Zhou Ruo paused, glanced at Mo Xiao sitting next to him, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty rewarded it?"

Lin Jiuqing smiled, acquiescing.

Zhou Ruo looked for a moment, then smiled and whispered: "Your Majesty really loves you."

This is the first time Zhou Ruo has seen violet jadeite of this quality. It can be seen that Mo Xiao is really attentive to Lin Jiuqing.

In comparison, her pair of white jades was not that impressive.

I used to think I was very generous, but in front of Lin Jiuqing's violet jade bracelet, I looked like a clown.

Lin Jiuqing did not continue to talk to Zhou Ruo about the bracelet, but said softly: "My Lady Concubine, there will be a family dinner later. Can you stay and have a simple meal together?"

Zhou Ruo raised his eyebrows: "Can I?"

Lin Jiuqing nodded: "Of course."

Zhou Ruo didn't say anything else. She came to give gifts today and had no plans to go back. She had to force her way into today's family dinner.

By then, everyone in the harem would only see her dining with His Majesty to celebrate the eldest prince's birthday, and that was enough.

Lin Jiuqing settled Zhou Ruo, and then looked at Lian'er who was waiting aside.

Lian'er whispered, "This is the birthday gift that the Queen prepared for the eldest prince. I hope the eldest prince likes it."
