Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 256: Birthday Present

Hua Manman sewed more and more smoothly, and soon finished sewing a sock.

She happily handed over the socks to Jin Ling'er for inspection.

Jin Ling'er picked up the socks and looked at them, then fell silent.

Hua Manman asked eagerly.

"Why don't you talk? Is there something you didn't do well?"

Jin Ling'er took a deep breath and asked her soul: "Where is the sock opening?"

At first glance, this sock looks fine, but after a closer look, you will find that it has no cuff.

It was stitched to death from start to finish.

There was simply no place to wear it.

Hua Manman was surprised.

Too bad, she sewed too hard just now, and accidentally sewed too much.

She hurriedly picked up the scissors: "I'll just take it apart."

When Jin Ling'er saw her holding the scissors, she was frightened, and said anxiously: "Let me go!

It's a pity that it's still a step late.

Hua Manman had already started, she wanted to use scissors to cut off the silk thread, but because she didn't control the angle properly, she accidentally poked a hole in the sock.

Her movements stopped immediately, and she looked at Jin Ling'er helplessly.

Jin Ling'er covered her eyes in pain.

Hua Manman asked cautiously: "If I give the prince a sock, do you think he would mind?"

Jin Ling'er took a deep breath and gave a more reliable suggestion.

"Why don't you change it to make a purse instead."

Hua Manman's eyes brightened: "Yes, it can be changed into a purse!"

This time Jin Ling'er didn't dare to relax a bit.

She stared at Princess Zhao from the beginning to the end, not even daring to blink her eyes, lest Princess Zhao would do something bad again.

When the sun was about to set, Hua Manman finally managed to make a purse.

The green purse has a bare surface without any patterns.

If you look closely, you can still see the exposed threads.

But Hua Manman is already very satisfied.

This is the first purse she has made in her life.

She was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

However, Jin Ling'er's mood is very complicated.

She looked at the elated Concubine Zhao, and couldn't help reminding her.

"You must not tell the prince that you originally wanted to make him a cloak."

From a cloak to a purse, the span between this is too great.

Hua Manman didn't want others to know about her failure, so she nodded and said, "Yes."

The two cleaned up the mess.

Hua Manman wants to keep the Jinling'er siblings here for dinner.

Jin Ling'er politely declined: "It's not easy to walk at night, I have to take my brother back as soon as possible."

Hua Manman can't force it, so he can only follow her wishes.

In order to thank Jin Ling'er for her help, Hua Manman specially asked someone to prepare some food for Jin Ling'er, and asked her to take it back with her.

Jin Ling'er thanked Princess Zhao a thousand times, and then took her brother back.

Li Ji found that Hua Manman was very happy tonight.

She was still humming a light tune as she sat in front of the vanity mirror and undid her hair.

Li Ji asked: "What happy things did you encounter today?"

Hua Manman deliberately kept it secret: "I won't tell you."

At this time, her back was facing Li Ji, and Li Ji couldn't see her eyes, so naturally he couldn't read her heart.

Li Ji became more and more curious.

After Hua Manman got acquainted and lay down on the bed, Li Ji leaned over and asked again.

"What happy thing did you encounter? It makes me happy to say it."

Hua Manman proudly said: "Guess."

She wouldn't tell the dog man that she had prepared a birthday present for him!

Li Ji suddenly realized that the gift for him was ready.

He remembered the wound Hua Manman made when she was doing needlework, and immediately grabbed her wrist and pulled it up to have a closer look.

Sure enough, she found a few more small wounds on her fingertips.

Li Ji frowned: "Didn't I tell you not to let you do needlework?"

Hua Manman tried his best to withdraw his hand and defended in a low voice.

"It's not an injury from needlework, it's my concubine who was accidentally pricked by the sharp thorns on the flower stem when she was picking flowers."

Li Ji laughed angrily at her.

"You are so promising, you dare to lie to others?"

Hua Manman closed her mouth resentfully, not daring to speak nonsense anymore.

Li Ji turned over and sat up, took the ointment and applied it on her, and said in a deep voice.

"You dare to touch water even if your fingers are hurt."

Hua Manman didn't think there was anything to avoid about this wound, but she didn't dare to refute King Zhao's words, so she could only obediently admit her mistake.

"I know I was wrong."

Li Ji helped her with the good medicine, and then bit her wrist gently.

Bite Hua Manman until his fingertips trembled.

She subconsciously shrank back.

Li Ji held her forearm and did not let go.

He raised his head, looked at the disobedient little thing in front of him, and threatened coldly.

"Next time you dare to be disobedient, I will eat you."

It was really eating her up, not just taking a symbolic bite of her.

Hua Manman naturally understood the meaning of his words, her little face flushed immediately.

She was terribly embarrassed.

Two days later it will be King Zhao's eighteenth birthday.

According to Li Ji, he planned to spend his birthday on Zhuangzi.

Anyway, he doesn't have any relatives, so he just needs to set up two tables symbolically on Zhuangzi, and that's enough.

Unexpectedly, the emperor sent someone to send an oral order.

The emperor prepared a birthday banquet for King Zhao in the palace, and asked King Zhao to take the princess into the palace to attend the banquet.

No way, Li Ji left Zhuangzi early in the morning with Hua Manman.

The masters are gone, so it's not good for Master Feihe as a guest to stay on Zhuangzi.

So Master Feihe also went to the capital with King Zhao and his wife.

In the carriage, Hua Manman took out the gift she had prepared and put it in front of King Zhao with a smile.

"This is a birthday present prepared by my concubine, do you like it?"

Li Ji looked at the large and beautifully crafted box in front of him, and knew that it must contain a cloak.

But in order to make Man Man happy, Li Ji pretended not to know anything, and asked in surprise.

"When did you prepare a gift for me? I don't even know."

Hua Manman raised her chin, smiled triumphantly and said, "This is prepared by my concubine secretly, you will never guess what my concubine prepared for you."

Li Ji touched the box in front of him, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

"Such a big box must contain quite a lot of things."

Hua Manman's eyes crooked with a smile: "You will know if you take it apart and have a look."

Li Ji was no longer polite, and raised his hand to open the brocade box.

But there was another box inside.

He opened it again, and there was still a box inside.

Li Ji already had a bad premonition in his heart.

He looked up at Hua Manman.

Hua Manman is still proud, she thinks that King Zhao must not know what is inside the box.

Li Ji was completely aroused by curiosity now.

He opened one box after another.

Each of these boxes is smaller than the other.
