Zhi Bao reached out a small hand: "Dear Uncle, this jade is so pretty, Zhi Bao wants to take a look."
Prince Rui immediately took the Jade Pendant from his waist and placed it into the little one’s hand.
The Jade Pendant was a peach-like pink, which was rare among jade stones, and almost without impurities, it must be extremely expensive.
Zhi Bao held it in her small hand, feeling the weight of the gourd-carved Jade Pendant.
But, everyone probably couldn’t see the faint malevolent aura entwined around it.
The little one’s voice was soft and milky: "It’s so pink and lovely."
Princess Consort chuckled gently and said tenderly: "Xuan Mo gave this on his birthday last year, I heard it’s a top-grade jade, originally ordered by another family, but he managed to buy it eventually."
The little one tilted her head: "Xuan Mo?"
Bai Xilie explained: "He’s your big brother."
Zhi Bao blinked her big eyes, her round, white face filled with confusion.
Was it really purchased?
The malevolent aura here seemed like it had taken a life before; if it hadn’t been stained with blood, it wouldn’t have any trace of malevolence.
Nonetheless, the little one’s soft fingers held onto the Jade Pendant, and soon, the black mist symbolizing malevolent energy slowly dissipated.
Jinli’s mana rippled out, bringing good fortune and eliminating evil.
Prince Rui looked around: "This child Xuan Mo, he was just in the hall, and now he’s gone in the blink of an eye."
"Never mind, when he shows up later, Uncle will bring your brother to meet you, alright Zhi’er?"
Zhi Bao nodded obediently: "Okay!"
She returned the Jade Pendant.
"Dear Uncle, you should keep it. Since it’s from brother, it must be important, Zhi Bao can’t take it."
Looking at Zhi Bao, not only beautifully adorable, but also so well-behaved and sensible!
Prince Rui adored her immensely, beaming with joy: "Zhi’er, take it, as long as you like it, whatever Uncle has, it’s yours!"
Zhi Bao shook her little head vigorously: "I won’t take it, give it back to Uncle."
She was simply helping to purify the malevolent energy.
Although the jade was pretty, in the little one’s eyes, it wasn’t remarkable.
Moreover, Zhi Bao never had the habit of taking things from others.
Princess Consort helped to rehang the Jade Pendant back onto Prince Rui’s waist.
Then from his embrace, she took Zhi Bao over.
"Zhi’er, let Auntie have a look at you, you’ve grown so big now, I remember when you were born, such a tiny, pink bundle, crying incessantly."
Princess Consort tapped her little nose, examining the little one.
Big round eyes, skin as soft and white as snow, her playful brows always carried a unique dynamism.
This child has suffered out there for a year or two.
Thinking of this, Princess Consort felt some heartache, and she kissed Zhi Bao’s little cheek.
Zhi Bao wrapped her small arms around Princess Consort’s neck.
She sniffed: "Auntie, you smell so nice!"
It was like the fragrance of medicinal herbs soaked for years.
She remembered her mother saying Auntie was a remarkable female doctor.
Zhi Bao rubbed her chubby cheek against her shoulder: "Zhi Bao likes you."
Princess Consort couldn’t stop smiling: "Good boy, Auntie’s sweetheart."
"In the future, when your Father is busy, come to Rui’s Mansion, if you want the moon in the sky, Auntie will get it for you."
The little one genuinely agreed without reserve: "Okay!"
Prince Rui couldn’t resist, reaching out his hands: "Let me hug a little longer."
Seeing Zhi Bao being doted on by the couple, making Prince Rui and his wife laugh continuously.
Bai Xilie cleared his throat lightly: "Zhi Bao, your Uncle and Aunt also need to rest, let Dad hold you."
