Kapitel 101: Facade of goodness

Jia Li glanced at the pearl bracelet and, when prompted by Court Lady Xuan, requested the servant's help to adorn it. "I don't recall the Crown Princess having such an accessory before," the Court Lady observed.

"The Crown Prince gifted this to me," Jia Li responded, a faint smile gracing her lips.

"What a beautiful gift," Court Lady Xuan complimented.

As Jia Li finished preparing and rose from her seat, she was taken aback as Xianwu unexpectedly presented her with a flower. Accepting the white rose, she breathed in its fragrance. "Place it in my hair," she requested.

Xianwu carefully broke the stem and secured it in her hair with a hairclip, his fingers gently grazing her locks as he met her gaze.

"How do I look?" Jia Li inquired, waiting for his compliment.

"Adorable," Xianwu replied.

A shy smile carved on Jia Li's lips in response. "Did you dress your wound from the royal physician?" she asked.
