I'm trying to kill myself in Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 180 Birds of a Feather

Su He first went to the place where the envoys of the Honglu Temple lived, while Hongshi took the three little ones to Qingliangtai first.

"Your Majesty, Elizabeth is waiting for you."

Su He quickened his pace, and just as he stepped over the threshold of the main hall, he saw Elizabeth coming towards him with open arms.

"My Lady, you didn't avoid my hug. Do you like me very much?"

Su He nodded, "Why should I hate you?"

"My Lady, what are you doing?"

Elizabeth pointed to a box by the door.

"This is something you gave to Hiroshi."

"Does Hongshi hate me so much? I won't bother him anymore."

There was a look of disappointment on Elizabeth's face. Ever since she came to the Qing Dynasty and met more men, she really didn't have much interest in Hongshi. She was not a person who liked challenges or possessiveness. She liked interactive relationships. It was very tiring to always chase after someone.

But the gifts she had never given to others were actually sent back to her. Even if they couldn't be lovers, couldn't they be friends?

Su He could probably guess what Elizabeth was thinking, so he began to explain.

"Elizabeth, in the East, whether married or unmarried, men and women should avoid suspicion. Now you are living with Old Seventeen. If Hongshi accepts your things and someone with ulterior motives finds out, there will be a storm. At that time, the three of you will be pushed to the forefront."

"That's why Hongshi asked me to return the gift to you on his behalf. In the future, if you can really get together with Old Seventeen, then we will be a family, and there will be no need to be polite."

Su He took a small box from Cuiguo and handed it to Elizabeth.

"This is a gift from Hongshi for you and your future husband."

Elizabeth's eyes lit up, "Did Hongshi really give it to me?"

Su He nodded. "It was Hongshi who suggested giving you a gift, and he also chose the gift. Open it and see if you like it."

Elizabeth did not hesitate and opened the wooden box directly. The two jade pendants lay quietly in the box.

"This is very valuable, right?" Elizabeth learned during her stay in the capital that only people with certain status and position can wear jade, and jade is priceless. These two jade pendants look expensive.

"Is this really for me?" Elizabeth was delighted.

"These two jade pendants are made from the same piece of stone, and the craftsman also made them into a pattern that can be combined into one."

Elizabeth picked up the two jade pendants and put them together. It was in the shape of a bird. "What kind of bird is this?"

"This is called the Biyi Bird, a mythical creature from ancient Chinese mythology."

"The Shanhaijing: Overseas Southern Classic" records: "Its appearance is like a duck, with one wing and one eye, and it can fly only when it is connected."

"The Classic of Western Mountains" says: "On the Chongwu Mountain there is a bird, which looks like a duck, but has one wing and one eye. It can fly only when it is close to the bird. It is called Manman. When it is seen, there will be floods all over the world."

"The lovebirds symbolize faithful love and also have auspicious meanings. They are regarded as auspicious birds in the Qing Dynasty."

"So I hope it can bring you good luck, so that you and your lover can live happily together until old age."

"Woooooo~~"

Elizabeth gave Su He a big bear hug and then wiped her tears with Su He's shoulder.

"Oh, dear He, I am so touched. You are so kind to me. Once I am sure of my feelings, I will definitely give half of this jade pendant to my lover."

Su He felt a little guilty when she looked at Elizabeth. In fact, she thought the pattern of the jade pendant was very ordinary, so how could it move Elizabeth so much?

She originally wanted to give a dragon and phoenix jade pendant, which symbolizes the auspiciousness of the dragon and phoenix, but Cuiguo reminded her that ordinary people cannot use dragon and phoenix patterns. Su He racked her brains, and the Vermilion Bird, Blue Bird, White Tiger and Qilin were all good choices, but Hongshi wanted to choose something like intertwined branches, twin lotus flowers, and lovebirds. In the end, Hongshi chose the lovebirds, saying that the bird was good because it could move and symbolized freedom.

Although other decorations were carved on other parts of the jade pendant, Su He really couldn't appreciate the bird that was put together.

But after all, it was a gift from Hongshi, so Su He still respected Hongshi's choice.

"As long as you like it."

The two chatted for a while, and Su He took the excuse that Elizabeth had to pack her luggage to say goodbye and leave.

By the time Su He arrived at Qingliangtai, Hongshi and Prince Guo had almost finished their talk, and all that was left was for Su He to make the final decision.

Su He took a look at the document that the two people had initially drafted and found basically no problems, so he praised Hongshi generously.

Prince Guo also followed suit and praised Hongshi's progress. He was quite close to the emperor before, so he naturally knew what the Third Prince was like in front of the emperor. He also didn't expect that when discussing cooperation with Hongshi, Hongshi was so knowledgeable about various details and market conditions.

Hongshi felt a little embarrassed by the praise. Although his mother had often praised him in the past two years, this was the first time she did so in front of outsiders. Moreover, he could see that his mother and his seventeenth uncle were sincerely praising him, and that kind of expression could not deceive anyone.

Su He was always thinking about Concubine Ying, so he was not in a hurry to return to the palace and simply agreed to have dinner at Qingliangtai.

"Seventeen, can I walk around the Qingliang Terrace with Hongshi?"

"Of course, Xiao Sisao and Hongshi, you can walk around as you like. The view of my Qingliang Terrace is very nice. Xiao Sisao, do you want to walk around by yourself, or do you want A Jin to take you around?"

"You guys are leaving tomorrow, and Jin will probably have a lot to do, so Hongshi and I will just go around on our own."

"Okay, I won't accompany you then. I have some things to tell you."

"Let's go. I've heard that the scenery at Qingliang Terrace is amazing. It just so happens that we have a chance today. Let's go around together."

[Hey, I don’t know where Concubine Ying is? This Qingliang Terrace is not very big, I don’t know if I can meet her. ]

Several people were walking down the stairs, and Hongshi almost missed a step. Fortunately, Su He was quick-witted.

Seeing that Hongshi looked unhappy, Su He asked with some concern, "Hongshi, are you feeling unwell?"

Hongshi felt a little guilty. He was still holding his sister in his arms. It didn't matter if he fell down. His sister was so small and soft. What would happen if he accidentally fell down?

"Mother, Zhuzhu, I'm sorry."

Little Zhuzhu hugged Hongshi's neck and said in a baby voice, "It's okay. Zhuzhu is fat, so she's not afraid of falling."

"Hongshi, if you are not feeling well, let's go back to the palace to see Wei Lin. You must not be stubborn."

Seeing that his mother didn't blame him at all, Hongshi felt even more guilty, so he made up his mind that he could not escape. Since he had such an opportunity, he would first find out what this woman was like. It would be better than being cheated in the future without knowing anything.
