Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Shen Mu respectfully welcomed the Consort Dowager into the hall.

Ever since he saw that shocking scene, every time Shen Mu saw he Dowager, he wished he could lower his head into his collar.

The servant girl who had passed the note did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that the Consort Dowager would recognize her.

They were all afraid of being silenced!

Just before Su Ji entered, the servant girls had already served all the hot dishes.

Prince Huai’s meals were extremely irregular and he was not interested in what he ate. The only reason why such a sumptuous meal was prepared was because of the Consort Dowager…

The room was filled with the fragrance of wine, meat, and vegetables, mixed with the sweet scent of lychees. If the person who invited her was not Prince Huai, but anyone else, Su Ji would have suspected that this was the perfect setup for a banquet.

However, Prince Huai had asked her to come, so Su Ji was relaxed.

Prince Huai could not smell any fragrance of food. He could only smell the unique fragrance on Su Ji’s body.

It was different from the ordinary cosmetics in the market, and it was also different from the rare Western Region perfume on the women in the harem.

It was a fragrance unique to her that made people yearn for it.

Prince Huai glanced at her without batting an eyelid and put the exquisite box in his sleeve.

First. he nicked lin some food for her and honred her wine- All her favorite food

was placed near her

Su Ji ate a small plate of green vegetables. The lychee pork had the right amount of fatty and lean meat. Every piece was tied up with a small cotton rope to prevent it from falling apart after being stewed for a long time.

Moreover, the meat had been specially cooked before it was stewed to remove most of the oil. It was fat but not greasy. It’s an absolute delicacy.

She ate three pieces and a bowl of white rice. Her appetite was considered very good recently.

However, Prince Huai noticed that only the lychee wine remained untouched.

She was usually the most greedy for alcohol. Even if she was lazy in the summer and was unwilling to move, as long as she heard that there was a drinking session, she would come most of the time, not to mention that it was wine brewed with lychees.

Prince Huai remembered that she was pregnant and should not drink.

In fact, the people of the Great Shang did not pay much attention to this. It was very common for pregnant women to drink. Moreover, the concentration of lychee wine was not high, so drinking a little was not a big deal.

She did not even look at it.

Prince Huai’s thin lips formed a straight line.

She was not only concerned about the child, but also the man she met in the other world.

The scene in front of him flashed for a moment, and Prince Huai’s body froze.

The discomfort came again. He drank a glass of wine and suppressed it. He dismissed the servants waiting in the room. Even Shen Mu was asked to leave.

Su Ji glanced at the closed door behind her. Seeing that she could talk freely, she asked, “how did you know that the person in the past year wasn’t me?” She was purely curious.

Prince Huai looked at her through the mask, his eyes deep. “Do you remember the last letter we exchanged a year ago?”

Su Ji recalled the time of her return. A year ago…should be the time when she and her bestie developed the all-purpose medicine.

“We were naming the prescription.” Su Ji smiled. “I wanted to call it ‘Life-saving Pill’ but you insisted on calling it ‘All-purpose Medicine’. We debated about it for more than a month.”

Prince Huai chuckled and drank another cup of wine. “You still remember?”

Actually, it didn’t really matter to him whether it was called the “Life-saving Pill” or the “All-purpose Medicine”, although he did feel that the name “Life-saving Pill” was not as elegant.

But ultimately, he just felt that it was very interesting to debate with her.

The Consort Dowager usually didn’t care about anything. She was casual and undisciplined, but she would be surprisingly persistent in some unexpected places.

For example, the name of the medicine.

“When you fainted, you didn’t even have time to write your last reply. The letter pigeon was left in your bedroom,” Prince Huai said. “After you woke up and recovered for a few days, your behavior gradually became strange. At first, you didn’t attend morning court and didn’t see anyone. Half a month later, the messenger pigeon flew back to the manor. It was written by a palace maid. There was only one sentence…”

[ “We’ll call it The All-purpose Medicine.” ]

A hint of helplessness flashed across Prince Huai’s face. “I had my suspicions before, but after receiving this letter, I’m sure that the person who would submit was not you. ”

Su Ji smiled back.

Prince Huai frowned as he spoke, and his fingers that were holding the wine cup paused.

The power that wanted to occupy his body became stronger.

Su Ji noticed that his knuckles had turned white. A second later, she quietly looked away.

Prince Huai felt more and more anxious. He took out the box from his sleeve and placed it on the table. He pressed it with his fingertips and pushed it towards her.

Su Ji put a mouthful of food into her mouth and chewed seriously. At the same time, her gaze fell. “What’s this?”

Prince Huai replied, “it’s a rare thing that I received by chance. It’s something that only girls like.”

It was the same when he gave Moon to Su Ji in the past. He said it casually. It was obvious that he had spent a lot of effort to get it, but it was as if he had picked it up on the road and gave it to her because no one wanted it.

Su Ji took the box and opened it. What greeted her eyes was a white object. It was slightly oval in shape and had an extremely beautiful arc.

She stopped chewing the vegetables.

It was the jade bracelet…

The one that she had shattered in the modern world!

However, this jade bracelet was newly made. It looked extremely new and shiny. It could be said to be flawless. Compared to the one that had gone through many twists and turns to get into her hands, this jade bracelet looked pure.

Not only was the jade bracelet beautiful, but the box that contained it was also extremely exquisite. Although the jade bracelet was returned to her later, the box had long been lost.

It turned out that there was such an exquisite box set.

The hollowed out carvings were embedded with mechanisms. Thousands of years ago, the Great Shang didn’t have ready-made hinges. They were all connected seamlessly with exquisite tenons and mortises, just like a work of art.

Prince Huai looked at her expression. “If Your Highness likes it, It’s yours.”

Su Ji stared at the jade bracelet for a few seconds before closing the box again.

Prince Huai frowned. “You don’t want it?”

“I do.” Su Ji smiled and put the jade bracelet and box into her sleeve. “Thank you, Prince Huai, for giving it up. This time, I will cherish it.”

Prince Huai’s attention lingered on the word “this time”.

He hoped that she would stay, and also thought that she might stay, but…she seemed to like this bracelet more than he had expected.

She cherished it…
