Chapter 1437

He placed the box in front of Chen Ning and said with a sincere expression, "The empress' kindness to this humble one, how can this gift be enough to repay you? This gift really isn't worth mentioning. It's just a treasure sword for a hero and a beauty for a beauty. This gift was specially prepared by me for the empress. I ask the empress to accept it. "

"Oh, then let me see what it is."

When Chen Ning heard this, she was filled with curiosity. She reached out and took it. She gently pushed the lid open and the box opened.

Inside the brocade box was an exquisitely carved pure silver phoenix hairpin. The phoenix was carved so vividly that it seemed to be alive. When the sun shone on it, it shone brightly, and its brilliance flowed. It was incomparably resplendent.

"Tsk tsk, I thought it was some kind of treasure. So it's just a silver hairpin!"

"It's pretty, but it's not worth much. A dignified envoy from Northern Qi actually gave our empress such a shabby thing!"

"The Northern Qi Kingdom is so rich, yet they only gave the empress a silver hairpin. Do they still place our West Chu in their eyes!"

When the surrounding people saw the silver hairpin, they couldn't help but look at the Northern Qi envoy with disdain.

"Humph, you still say the empress is kind to you, yet you give her such a worthless thing to repay her. How stingy!"

Chen Ning's face didn't show any disdain. This silver hairpin was exquisitely made and she liked it very much. It was more to her liking than the exquisite and complicated jewelry in the palace.

"This hairpin is very pretty. Many thanks to the envoy."

The one who spoke was Mo Chuan. He took out the silver hairpin from the box and placed it in Chen Ning's hair.

The Northern Qi envoy was overjoyed. He smiled and said, "Many thanks to the emperor. Many thanks to the empress."

Xiao Ru, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh. She thought that this envoy was really interesting. He was the one who gave the young miss a gift, so it should be the young miss thanking him. But he kept thanking her, as if the young miss accepting his gift was giving him a lot of face.

After the Northern Qi envoy gave the gift, he said his goodbyes to the two of them. He had no more worries in his heart. Under the escort of the envoy, the group of people left the city and headed north.

Mo Chuan and Chen Ning stood side by side on the city wall to send them off. They watched as the group went further and further away until they disappeared.

"Ning 'er, let's go back. The wind is strong here, so be careful of catching a cold."

Mo Chuan held her hand. He felt that the back of her hand was slightly cold as he said this.

Chen Ning kept looking in the direction of the Northern Qi envoy. She seemed to be deep in thought. Hearing Mo Chuan's words, she turned her head.

"Mo Chuan, you didn't notice?"

"Mo Chuan, you didn't notice?"

"There's a little attendant beside the messenger, and he's been sneaking glances at you. Along the way, he's even turned his head back three times from the horse's back, only to look at you. Does he know you?"

Of Mo of him. I didn't pay attention. "Mo Chuan thought back, but he didn't have any impression at all.

Chen Ning didn't pay attention to him at first because Mo Chuan's appearance was outstanding and he was an emperor. No matter where he went, he would be the focus of everyone's attention. Which one of the Northern Qi envoys didn't look at him?

However, the attendant kept walking far away and kept turning back. This was a little strange.

She tried hard to recall the young attendant's appearance in her mind, but it was very blurry.
