Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Princess Anning was already used to the scene of her brother being urged to get married. Her brother was 29 years old this year, and she was 13 years old. From what she remembered, her brother was always scolded every time he came to see her father and mother, in fact, Princess Anning did not understand why her brother did not get married. If he did, then there would be no problems.
However, since the Crown Prince often brought delicious and fun snacks to her from outside the palace, she didn’t mind saving him when he was being scolded.
At this moment, her eyes rolled and she said sweetly to Jian Qingqing, “Sister
Qingqing, try this snack. It’s really delicious!”
Princess Anning’s charming voice broke the silence in the room. Only then did the Emperor and Empress realize that there were other people in the room and adjusted their emotions, the Empress said to Jian Qingqing, “Qingqing, it’s rare for Anning to have a playmate. If you have time, you can accompany her to play in the palace in the afternoon. Otherwise, she will keep nagging me to go out and make my head hurt.”
Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “Of course I have time. I have never seen such a majestic place like the palace. Then, I will have to trouble Anning to show me around.”
Princess Anning lay on her body and giggled. “Sure, sure.”
The Emperor also took out a token and handed it to Jian Qingqing. “Qingqing, this is a token that allows you to enter and leave the palace freely. If you have something to say, you can come in whenever you want. There is no need to report it.”
Jian Qingqing took it and thanked respectfully, “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Princess Anning looked at the token with envy and said to the Emperor coquettishly, “Father, I also want it!”
The Empress stroked her hair and comforted her, “Be good. You can only leave the palace when you reach marriageable age.”
Princess Anning snorted in dissatisfaction.
Jian Qingqing coaxed, “I’ll bring you something fun next time. It doesn’t matter if you can’t leave.”
Only then did Princess Anning smile in satisfaction, “Come, I’ll bring you to my palace to play. My palace also has many beautiful things. I’ll give you whatever you like!”
Jian Qingqing did not want to stay here anymore, so she said, “Alright! When the time comes, I’ll bring some fun things for you to play with!”
The Empress smiled and said, “Go on, go on.”
Princess Anning pulled Jian Qingqing and left.
Her palace was not very far from the Empress’palace, and it would only take an incense stick’s time to arrive.
Her palace was also very big, and the decorations inside were very young girls. They were all very beautiful things.
Princess Anning took out the big box that she had stored her treasures in.
There were all kinds of things inside. There were clay dolls that the Crown Prince had brought back for her from outside the palace. There were kites, all kinds of small toys, and some shiny gemstones and all kinds of jewelry.
Princess Anning poured all the things in the box onto the floor and said generously, “Tell me what you like! I’ll give it to you!”
How could Jian Qingqing really want something from a child? However, since Princess Anning could share these treasures with her, it meant that she treated her as a friend, so she could not refuse. Otherwise, she would not treat Anning as a friend.
So she picked and saw a black stone. This stone was very smooth and strangely shaped.
She glanced at Princess Anning and saw that she didn’t have any reaction, so she said, “I think this stone is strange. Can you give it to me?”
Princess Anning nodded. “Of course. I found this in the Imperial Garden, but I’m tired of it. If you like it, then I’ll give it to you. You can even take whatever you like!”
Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “No need! I just want this stone.. I think it’s so beautiful!”
