Long Live the Empress

Sure enough, the flowers in the greenhouse are in various shapes and colors, attracting colorful butterflies to fly back and forth!

Xu Lingcan pointed at a black flower and shouted, "Oh my God, I didn't know there were black flowers in this world! That one is so beautiful..."

Yue Jinghao looked at Xu Lingcan walking back and forth among the flowers, with a doting smile on her face, "Whichever one do you like, I'll have someone move it to your carriage!"

"Really?" Xu Lingcan's eyes widened, "Thank you, Sister Jing!"

Then she started pointing without hesitation, pointing at some flowers with strange colors, which made Agate feel distressed. Those flowers were cultivated by the young lady after a long time of research! But when she turned around and looked at her young lady's smiling face, she didn't think much about it.

When Xu Lingcan returned home, he really came back with a lot of things. Before getting on the carriage, Yue Jinghao gave Xu Lingcan three small sandalwood boxes, each with a note written on it. "These are for Uncle Xu and my elder and second brothers. Take them back and give them to them!"

Xu Lingcan was a little embarrassed because he had asked for so many flowers. Now Yue Jinghao wanted to give gifts to her family, which made him even more embarrassed. "Sister Jing, these flowers are enough..."

Yue Jinghao put all the sandalwood boxes into the carriage without saying a word, told the coachman to be careful, and let Xu Lingcan go back home.

Xu Lingcan leaned out of the car window and waved his hand, his eyes showing reluctance...

Yue Jinghao looked at the carriage going away, and unconsciously thought of Xu Lingcan in his previous life who was so determined and brave...

Xu Xinghuai and his two sons watched the servants carrying pots of strange flowers into the mansion one after another, and they thought it was a flower shop delivering flowers...

Then Xu Lingcan came in with three sandalwood boxes in his arms, smiling, "Father, brother, come here quickly, Sister Jing has brought you gifts!"

Xu Lingcan picked up the sandalwood boxes one by one, "Father, this is for you! Big brother, this is yours... Second brother, this is yours, open it and take a look!"

Xu Zhanqi looked at his extremely excited sister with disdain, "I think someone wants to see it?"

Xu Lingcan was not annoyed when he was exposed, but instead moved closer to take a closer look.

Xu Zhanqi opened it first, and inside were ten identical black gold lancets. Black gold was rare, let alone ten lancets. Xu Zhanqi looked at his father and brother, their saliva was about to drip onto his lancets... Xu Zhanqi closed the lid of the box with a snap, and hugged the sandalwood box tightly in his arms, "Father, it's your turn!"

Xu Xinghuai made a "tsk" sound and opened the lid of the box with confidence. Inside was a yellowed book.

Xu Lingcan wanted to reach out to take it, but Xu Xinghuai slapped his hand away, "This is an ancient book! How can you just take it with your hands?"

Xu Xinghuai took Xu Lingcan's handkerchief and wrapped it in his hand. He picked up the book carefully, turned a page, and laughed, "Jing'er really understands my heart the best! With this ancient book from the Warring States Period, I will have no regrets even if I die now!"

Xu Lingcan, a girl, didn't understand, but her two brothers were also very surprised. That was the "Art of War" written by the undefeated general Jun Gongzi during the Warring States Period! It was a military book that every general wanted to get, but it turned out to be in Xu Xinghuai's hands. How could Xu Xinghuai not be happy? He kept praising Yue Jinghao for being sensible and smart... as if Yue Jinghao was his biological daughter!

Xu Lingcan nudged Xu Zhanbo with his elbow, "You're the only one left, big brother!"

Xu Zhanbo originally planned to take it back to his room to look at it, but seeing Xu Lingcan's extremely expectant look, he silently opened the lid of the box.

Now it was Xu Lingcan's turn to have his eyes light up. "Wow... Sister Jing is so generous!"

It turned out that there was a hidden knife inlaid with various gemstones lying quietly in the sandalwood box. When he pulled out the blade, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body!

Xu Xinghuai cleared his throat proudly and explained to his children, "This is not an ordinary gem, it's called a luminous gem, just as the name suggests, it's a gem that can glow at night! With this hidden knife, you don't have to carry a night pearl anymore! And this blade is made of thousand-year-old cold iron, it can cut hair! Jing'er saw that you gave her the night pearl, and was worried that you would have trouble performing your duties, so she gave you this hidden knife!"

Xu Zhanbo stroked the cold sleeve knife, but his heart was warm. She was indeed a woman with a thoughtful heart...
