My Highness Hears My Thoughts, And Still Plays Along-Chapter 462 - 443:

Being watched by a girl’s innocent and expectant gaze, one might find it hard to say they don’t like it, even if that’s true, right?

Moreover, those delicacies and legendary tales, Yun Ran did quite like them.

She smiled at Nangong Siyu and sincerely said, "Thank you for your gift. I really like it, though it must have been a lot of work for you to prepare so much!"

Nangong Siyu’s eyes brightened at her words, brimming with joy, "As long as Sister Princess Consort likes it~ I wasn’t tired at all! Oh right, I also have a peace charm specifically for Sister Princess Consort."

According to Nangong Siyu, a few days ago she arrived in the capital city. At that time, Nangong Mo and the various princes and princesses had all gone to the Qishan hunting grounds. Since the hunting was nearing its end, she decided to wait for them in the capital.

During her wait, she wandered around the capital daily. By chance, she heard that the White Cloud Temple thirty miles outside the city was particularly effective in granting wishes and fortunes, so she went there out of admiration. Thus, she got this peace charm.

It was small and exquisite, emitting a tranquil and calm sandalwood fragrance.

Yun Ran found it hard to refuse her kind intentions, so she accepted the peace charm and in return gave her a bottle of Hundred Fragrance Pills.

"Heavens! The legendary Hundred Fragrance Pills that can cure all poisons in the world?! Worth a thousand gold and very hard to come by! Sister Princess Consort, are you really giving them to me?! And it’s a full ten pills!!!"

Nangong Siyu held the snow-white porcelain bottle, her eyes widened in shock, looking quite adorable.

Yun Ran glanced at the dozen or so overflowing large boxes beside her, and gave a somewhat helpless, soft laugh, "Jewelry of gold and jade, silk, satin, ginseng, snow lotus, everything you can think of, you’ve given. If I were to give you these things in return, it would seem perfunctory."

"But I really can’t think of anything else to give for the moment... please don’t disdain it."

"How could I disdain it?! Thank you, Sister Princess Consort~ I really like it~ but this gift is just too precious!"

Actually, Yun Ran had also wanted to give her some bottles of poison or gunpowder, but considering it might scare the young girl, she dismissed the idea and decided to prepare some pills to give her on another day.

After all, she had sent so many boxes of valuable gifts, it wouldn’t be right to return with something too casual.

As they talked, Nangong Mo wheeled himself to the courtyard gate.

Under the bright moon, the ground covered in frost, he wore white clothes, as handsome as a celestial being who walked out of a painting. Just a glance would make it hard for one to look away.

"Mo~"

Nangong Siyu cheered and lifted her skirt, running towards him like a lively oriole, circling around to stand behind him, "Mo, I’ll help you push."

"Mo, you’re finally done with your work! Sister Princess Consort and I have been waiting for you for so long! See, the sky is already dark!"

"Is that so? What were you talking about?"

Nangong Mo raised the corners of his mouth, asking Nangong Siyu, though his eyes were on Yun Ran.

Yun Ran was frowning, lost in silent thought.

[Rumor has it that their relationship is quite deep and unusual, so does this Little Princess know he’s pretending to be blind?]

[Although he’s sitting in a wheelchair in front of her, that doesn’t mean much, since he does that in front of everyone...]

"Oh right, Sister Princess Consort, upon seeing you I was so caught up in talking that I almost forgot! When I came today, the Empress Dowager asked me to tell you and Mo to attend the palace banquet tomorrow!"

"Palace banquet?"

Yun Ran instinctively glanced at Nangong Mo, who was known to dislike attending such banquets in the palace.
