Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 574

"You tell me first, and I'll think about it." Shi Anxia held her cheek and blinked her beautiful eyes with long eyelashes.

"After we get married, I will peel chestnuts for you every day." Cen Yuan likes to see the little girl's half-smile the most

"I'm tired of eating chestnuts every day. Can't you try something tastier?"

"Eat whatever you want." Cen Yuan was good-tempered and took out an exquisite box from his sleeve to coax her, "This is for you too."

Shi Anxia took the box and became interested. "What is it?"

As she spoke, she opened the box. Inside lay a little girl carved out of wood, with big eyes, a small mouth, a round face, and a flower-bud hairstyle.

Shi Anxia smiled and looked up and asked, "Is this me? Did you carve it yourself?"

Cen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, "Of course. Can you see what's so special about it?"

"What's so special about it? The special thing is that it looks good, and it's carved like the real thing." Shi Anxia reached out and picked up the wooden doll, which felt quite heavy. "Hey, why is it still a little heavy?"

"Take another look?" There was a subtle and doting light flashing in Cen Yuan's dark eyes.

In his previous life, he carved many such wooden dolls at the border, but was ultimately unable to deliver them to her.

At that time, he kept it as a treasure and wanted to give it to her on their wedding night.

Because he carved out her image in his mind piece by piece, pouring all his heart's elegance and tenderness into it.

But in the end...

In this life, he couldn't wait to deliver it to her.

Just like now, she was so happy when she held the wooden doll in her hands. She couldn't let go and stroked the little man's face, so carefully, for fear of damaging the doll.

He encouraged, "Take a good look at this doll. What's so special about it?"

Shi Anxia finally found the mechanism at the bottom of the doll's feet, "Hey, the shoes can be twisted."

She twisted it and the doll turned.

It seems that the base has been loosened.

She cried out in surprise and delight, "Oh, there's a doll in here."

It turns out that the doll can be picked up, and there is an identical wooden doll inside.

The same big eyes, small mouth, round face, and flower-bud head. The only difference is the expression and color of the little man.

The previous doll was smiling and wearing a red dress. This one was pouting, as if angry, and wearing a blue dress.

Pick up the doll inside, and inside it there is another wooden doll with a different expression and color.

Inside, inside, inside, there are a total of twelve identical wooden dolls.

Each one is smaller than the other, and they are all in various colors, colorful and bold. How much thought must have gone into this.

Shi Anxia held a bunch of dolls in her arms, looked up and smiled, "All of them are mine."

"Do you like it?"

"like."

"Then after we get married, shall I carve something else for you?"

"Okay." Shi Anxia blushed. She knew she had fallen into the other party's trap, but she really liked these wooden dolls.

She even hoped that after they got married, he would carve more wooden dolls for her with different hair accessories and clothes.

She lined up the wooden dolls from largest to smallest on the table, then raised her bright black eyes and said softly, "Go ahead, I'm ready to be frightened."

Cen Yuan took a breath, not daring to look at her, "Xia Xia, I am Emperor Heng Cen Yuan, who was forced to abdicate from the Western Cen Liang State..."
