The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Chapter 242 Betrothal Gift

The next evening

Hua Ye moved his sore body with difficulty and slowly opened his eyes. What came into view was the sky and sunset dyed red by the setting sun.

Through the screen, there was a sound of giggling outside, as if someone was moving something.

The sound reached her ears, making her sober up all of a sudden. She casually put on a coat and boots and walked out of the room quickly.

The scene before her astonished her. She saw eight huge mahogany boxes neatly arranged, filled with all kinds of rare treasures.

Next to the box were piles of countless silks and satins, so colorful and dazzling that they were dazzling to the eyes.

Those strange maids and servants were dressed simply and looked like servants of ordinary families, but their attitude was very respectful.

As soon as they saw Hua Ye come out, they immediately stood neatly on both sides of the living room, bowing their heads slightly to show respect.

"Hello, Princess!" they said in unison, their voices uniform and loud.

Hua Ye was startled by this sudden scene and could not help but froze in shock. She looked at these people timidly, her heart full of doubts.

"What...what's going on?" she asked stutteringly.

One of the maids stepped forward and explained with a smile, "This is the betrothal gift that His Highness has prepared for you. He said that all the gifts should be ready today. Please take a look and see if there is anything else that needs to be added."

Hua Ye was touched when she heard this. It turned out that Xu Zhi had prepared all these for her. She remembered what he had said last night about proposing marriage, and a slight blush appeared on her face.

"That's enough! This is enough. If I prepare any more, my father will think I married a big shot..."

Hua Ye waved his hand with a stern face, asking them to leave, and then he looked at the pile of priceless things again and again.

She muttered, "My father is so smart. If he were to delve into Xu Zhi's identity, he would definitely investigate everything. He's afraid that others won't know that I, Hua Ye, married a monster, right?"

Hua Ye touched those strange things, then looked up and found that although the layout of this house was the same as that of the palace on the top of the mountain, the atmosphere was completely different and the temperature difference was also different.

She pushed open the door and saw the dean's yellow maple leaves floating in the wind and falling silently to the ground.

Canglang Mountain, where it is spring all year round, does not have such autumn scenery. She tapped her toes and jumped onto the branch of the maple tree.

A mansion covering an area of ​​ten acres suddenly appeared in front of her. Outside the mansion was the bustling night market street of Kyoto, with the shouts of vendors everywhere.

As night falls and the lights come on, the bustling streets are brightly lit and filled with the rich aroma of fireworks.

The familiar human scent filled Hua Ye's nose, making him instantly refreshed.

She carefully tidied her clothes and then couldn't wait to rush into the bustling street.

Every time she passed a stall, she would buy a delicacy without hesitation.

Those exquisite pastries exude a soft, sweet flavor, and are delicate and delicious.

She tasted these delicious dishes one bite after another without any hesitation, with a satisfied smile on her face.

She quickly bit off a piece of the red candied haws and then carefully put it into a paper bag for future use.

In addition, she also tasted a bowl of steaming and fragrant freshly made wontons.

This place, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, made her feel safe and a little uneasy, but more of it was a deep longing for the good old days.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, and Xuzhi appeared quietly behind her.

He followed her steps silently, letting her play as she pleased. Whenever she wanted to eat, she could try whatever she wanted; if she didn't like it, she could throw it away at will.

When she had a great time and was willing to go home, Xuzhi was already waiting for her on the street of the mansion he bought for her, holding an unknown jewelry box in his hand.

Hua Ye saw his tall, slender black figure standing in front of the mansion from afar. His cold eyes fell on him, as if he wanted to eat him up...
