Chapter 73 - Shining Peach Blossom
That hairpin was delicately carved from black wood; there were a few lively peach blossoms on top of it, and even the petal details were intricate.
The crystal snowflakes on the peach blossoms were the most attractive part. It was currently summer, so there would not be snow.
Chu Liuyue took a closer look at it and shockingly discovered that the snowflakes were carved from a very valuable moonstone. Moonstones were a type of rare gem, which sparkled under the sunlight and gently glowed like the moonlight when in the dark.
Chu Liuyue was very shocked.
Even though Rong Xiu was Country Yao Chen’ Seventh Prince, Country Yao Chen did not amount to much in the entire Mainland Xuan Wu.
If it were her in her previous life, it would not be difficult for her to obtain this moonstone as the Tianling Dynasty’s princess. However, this was definitely a rare treasure for the people in Country Yao Chen.
Why does Rong Xiu have such a thing? Also, why did he give me such a valuable gift?
Chu Liuyue closed the box and passed it back to him. “Prince Li, this gift is too valuable. I can’t accept it.”
Rong Xiu looked straight into her eyes. “Today is the day where you become of marriageable age. According to the rules, your family elder should hold a ceremony for you and give you a hairpin.”
This look reminded Chu Liuyue of the first time she saw him standing in the rain. He had also directed such a gaze at her back then.
She could not guess what he was thinking and even felt that Rong Xiu saw another person through her.
“I’ve seen it before.” He closed his eyes and hid the ripples in them. He sighed lightly and said in a low voice, “I’ve seen peach blossoms brightly shining as snow danced around them.”
