Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

Liu Yao noticed that Yuan Jing was not in the right mood, but she would not think about it elsewhere, so she explained:

"When I was about ten years old, I went to my aunt's house and grew up with Sangsang. It has been many years now, so we naturally have a very good relationship."

The more Yuan Jing listened to her explanation, the more sour the feeling in his heart became.

"Well, we are childhood sweethearts."

Behind him, the jewelry, silk fabrics, and various rewards bestowed by the emperor that Liu Yao had said he would give to his cousin were carried into the princess's mansion by several palace servants.

The leading palace servant looked at the person being rewarded, and Liu Yao pointed them in the direction of the courtyard where his cousin lived.

I followed them and planned to show them the way.

"and many more."

Yuan Jing called out to Liu Yao, and the palace servants also stopped.

The silk, silver and various jewelry placed on the trays appeared in front of him.

Generally speaking, the rewards given to officials with families are basically of these types.

Yuan Jing had a clear goal and walked straight to the colorful cloud silk that Liu Yao was holding.

His slender fingertips touched the bright silk, his brows slightly furrowed, and his expression showed obvious disgust.

"When I was in the palace, I got a few pieces of Caiyun silk when it was first developed by craftsmen."

"It just has a nice name, but its appearance is gorgeous and its material is very rough. It's okay to use it for decoration, but I'm afraid it's not suitable to give it to my cousin as a dress."

Liu Hao was startled, walked forward, and touched it following Yuan Jing's movements.

"Indeed. Then let's not give this as a gift. Fortunately, His Majesty also gave me some jewelry."

jewelry?

Yuan Jing's eyes flickered slightly, his expression remained unchanged, and his fingers opened the wooden box containing the jewelry.

In the wooden box are various golden hairpins, jade earrings, pearl necklaces, etc.

These jewels were made by craftsmen in the palace. They are exquisite in appearance and beautiful in style.

Liu Yao looked at it and nodded with satisfaction. There would definitely be no problem giving this to his cousin.

Who would have thought that Yuan Jing would point out the problems one by one.

He picked out a ginkgo leaf-shaped tassel hairpin:

"This kind of hairpin made entirely of gold leaves, without any embellishment, was out of fashion at this time last year. Young girls don't like it."

Then he took out a pair of emerald green earrings.

"This color is too old-fashioned. It's not good."

A necklace made of pearls the size of eyeballs,

"Pearls that are too big will overpower the color."

……

Liu Yao felt a little unhappy as he listened to his criticisms one by one.

"Isn't there anything suitable for my cousin? I think this jade bracelet is good. The color is beautiful and clean."

Yuan Jing smiled and shook his head, then put down the bracelet she had picked up.

"Liu Yao, look at you, this is why you don't understand women."

Don’t understand women, does she?

Hearing Yuan Jing say this, Liu Yao couldn't hide his puzzled expression.

"Look at this bracelet. It looks nice, but it is a mature style worn by many mothers."

"My cousin is only 28 years old, why should she rush to dress herself up to look mature?"

Yuan Jing explained what he had said without any guilty look on his face.

Although he is not a woman, he has been disguised for so many years and often has to dress up differently for banquets, so he knows much more about jewelry and clothing than the average person.

Every flaw of the jewelry mentioned before has its own reasons and evidence, so of course you won’t feel guilty about it.

As for Liu Yao, she started dressing as a man when she was very young, and her clothes were very simple. When it came to dressing and matching, she could never catch up with Yuan Jing.

The reasons Yuan Jing gave convinced her very well.

Liu Yao frowned and began to worry.

"You don't have anything to give away? What should I do? Should I take some silver and go to the store outside to buy something new for my cousin?"

"What to buy? There are a lot of jewelry in the jewelry box I brought with me that I haven't worn yet. They're just gathering dust. Why not pick out some suitable ones to give to my cousin?"

"This, is not necessary?"

Liu Yao was about to refuse, but Yuan Jing pulled his sleeve to urge him on, his movements were familiar but not too intimate.

"Don't be polite with me, let's go."

Liu Yao was half-heartedly taken by Yuan Jing into the courtyard where he lived, and the rewards held by the palace maids were also taken over and delivered by the servants in the mansion.

Yuan Jing's yard had been uninhabited for more than half a month, but daily cleaning was done properly.

When he came back, he looked almost exactly the same as when he left, with no changes.

Yuan Jing found a familiar place, took out a wooden box from the dressing table, fiddled with it casually, took out a few items and placed them on the table.

The golden hairpin was replaced with a peach blossom hairpin with gemstone petals and gold thread;

The jade earrings were replaced with milky white earrings made of mutton-fat jade;

The fingernail-sized pearls on the pearl necklace were replaced with soybean-sized pink pearls.

The translucent, pink pearl string looks much more delicate than the previous one, and it is restrained yet lively like a girl.

Putting aside other things, just looking at this necklace, Liu Yao knew that Sangsang would definitely like it.

Moreover, all the jewellery in here belonged to the princess. Even though Yuan Jing said that they were placed in a box gathering dust, it was possible that the jewellery that caught his eye could not be any worse.

Each of the replacements was infinitely better than any random reward from the emperor.

"Here, these should all be suitable for my cousin."

Liu Yao asked hesitantly while holding a small wooden box full of beautiful jewelry.

"Give it to me like this, Princess? Otherwise, I will give you the silver His Majesty has awarded me, and these jewelry will be considered as my purchase."

"Buy whatever you want. I don't need money."

Yuan Jing was unwilling to accept Liu Yao's silver.

He thought that since the two of them had been together in Yanzhou City for so long, they should be considered good friends.

Asking for money as a gift of jewelry is a bit too polite, as if you are trying to make a clear distinction between the two of you.

But Liu Yao is a person who will not accept gifts without doing anything, so she will not accept any valuable things just because they are given to her.

Yuan Jing supported his chin and thought for a while, then took the wooden box given to Liu Yao by the emperor.

"There's no need for silver. Let's exchange. I'll give you a box of jewelry in exchange for yours. It's perfect. No one loses."

That being said, in reality, Yuan Jing's things were all tributes, and were much more valuable than the emperor's casual rewards.

But he was happy to do this business at a loss.

Yuan Jing had despised these rewards when they were given to his cousin, so now that they were given to him personally, Liu Yao felt that it was inappropriate and quickly refused.

"How can this be possible? Princess, the things you gave are too precious. These rewards should not be enough."

"How could that be? I think they are all very good things, and their values ​​are exactly the same."

Yuan Jing retorted.

"?"

Liu Hao didn't understand.
