Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 199: Jade Pendant with Gold Inlay
The next day, Li Qian learned he had missed Ah Zhiβs birthday, and he remained silent and sullen all day. π³ππ²ππ¨ππ―πππ§ππΉ.π°πΌπ
After school in the afternoon, he took the Jade Pendant with Gold Inlay given by Noble Princess Consort Xiao to give to someone.
"Ah Zhi, here you go, my mother gave this to me. She said this jade is good for nurturing and will bring good luck if kept close. I give it to you, wishing you peace and safety in the years to come."
The young boy, with pale lips and white teeth, looked earnest.
The girl across from him did not accept the jade pendant, shaking her head: "No need, this was given to you by your mother, it has its significance, you should keep it."
The Jade Pendant with Gold Inlay was exquisite, ingeniously crafted, made of excellent jade, and given by an imperial concubine. Accepting it would be inappropriate.
Rejected, Li Qian looked hurt and earnestly asked: "Itβs because youβre important that Iβm giving it to you. Ah Zhi, why do you accept gifts from Brother Shen Chen but not mine?"
His competitive gaze was unabashed, as if saying: You owe me an explanation.
Ye Zhi was puzzled, wondering why he brought up the Little Traitor. Embarrassed to brush him off, she explained the truth: "Because it was a letter from Xiao Chen to me, saying things like donβt bully me in the future, or I could use it against him, and things like promises."
She didnβt explain too clearly, not knowing how to put it into words, finally looking at him with a puzzled expression: "Do you understand what Iβm saying?"
"I understand." Li Qianβs tender face nodded seriously.
He forcibly placed the jade pendant into her hand.
"This is a token, you can use it in the future to ask me to do something I can do."
Ye Zhiβs bright eyes sparkled, as this was undoubtedly a free pass, perfect for giving to her sisterβs child, Ah Che.
The boy before her, barring any accidents, would become the future Emperor Xiao Wen, and by then, Ah Che would be six or seven years old, just the right time to use it.
She confirmed: "Are you serious?"
"Uh-huh." Li Qian hurriedly nodded, afraid she wouldnβt accept it.
The young girl softly reminded him: "Alright, you must remember."
Li Qian, afraid she wouldnβt believe him, firmly said: "Iβll remember, Iβll remember, Iβll remember."
Repeating it three times to show he wasnβt joking.
The two stood under the lush green pine trees of Lingxiang Courtyard, quietly conversing.
"Whatβs Xiao Qian supposed to remember?"
Qinglian finished her studies a bit later and came out, immediately seeing her elder brother and her sister friend.
After enrollment, they hadnβt flaunted the princeβs identity, using nicknames instead.
Little Fairy followed Ah Zhi and the others in calling the eldest brother Xiao Qian~
The sibling relationship was ordinary; in fact, Qinglian had a closer bond with Ah Zhi.
Li Qian also enjoyed playing with Ah Zhi; though familial feelings were there for his sister, there was a familiar sense of estrangement.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Ye Zhi smiled brightly: "Qinglian, youβre here. Xiao Qian said heβd give me a jade pendant and that I could use it to ask him for one thing in the future. Iβm going to keep it well."
She seldom kept secrets from the Little Fairy.
"I see."
Qinglian looked understanding: "Did Big Brother know about what happened yesterday?"
"Haha, nothing happened yesterday. By the way, letβs go to the food shop quickly, or later many senior brothers and sisters will come, and the dishes will be gone. Oh, Huanhuan hasnβt come out yet, could she have been detained?"
When Little Fairy mentioned yesterdayβs events, Ye Zhi took her hand and walked toward the food shop.
The attempt to cover it up was quite obvious.
Not wanting the person before her to know~
