2520 Side Story 24: Emperor, You’re Not that Useless, Right?

The item did look pleasant, and it was indeed extravagant.

Chu Liuyue tried to hold it in, but it was to no avail. Finally, she glanced at Shangguan You doubtfully.

She recalled that my father has extremely good taste in this aspect. Why now…

Shangguan You was also shocked. “Exaggerated? How is it? Look at the surface—it’s engraved with peach blossoms. So many layers. How nice does it look!?”

As he spoke, he looked hopeful. “It’s definitely beautiful when a girl wears it!”

Upon hearing this, Rong Xiu took a longevity lock from her hands and inspected it carefully. Then, he nodded in agreement. “It’s indeed pretty. Thank you, Father-in-Law.”

Shangguan You was comforted. “See! Even Rong Xiu thinks so!”

Chu Liuyue: “…”

After some thinking, she struggled to say, “T-then, if it’s a boy and a girl…”

“Get the boy to give in to the girl then. They can wear it together!” Shangguan You seemed to have thought of an answer as he waved nonchalantly.

Chu Liuyue: “…”

“Yue’er?” Before she could speak, another familiar voice came from outside—it was Chu Ning.

“Father?”

Chu Ning walked over. Seeing that Shangguan You had beaten him to it, his expression became incredulous.

Shangguan You seemed delighted as his gaze swept across the chest Chu Ning was holding. “Hm? Chu Ning? What a coincidence! You also came to send Yue’er a gift?”

Also? This means that he has already given her a gift.

Chu Ning’s gaze turned. He quickly saw the two longevity locks in Rong Xiu’s hands and instantly understood.

“Yeah. I made something small for the kids to play with.” As he spoke, he passed the chest over. “Yue’er, take a look.”

He was the same as Shangguan You; he never thought of showing it to Rong Xiu.

However, Rong Xiu did not mind as he raised his brows slightly and looked over.

“Thank you, Father.”

Chu Liuyue took the box.

The box was not locked.

Kada!

It opened.

Two tiny rattle drums lay quietly.

The rattle drums were also made meticulously. The handles were made from pinewood, and the drums themselves were slightly thin, and the strings had red pearls on it.

The key was that the drum surface was very clean. It was simple and cute.

Chu Liuyue secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and her smile was more genuine. “Thank you, Father. I like it very much.”

Shangguan You glanced at it and lightly grunted. “How plain. The girl will definitely like mine better.”

Chu Ning squinted and said, “Yue’er, try it.”

Chu Liuyue was dazed and held one up strangely. She then turned it.

The drum sound was crisp. He had clearly used superior materials for the rattle drum, but this was not important.

There were countless sparks on the drum surface as it swayed with the sound of the drum. It shone brightly and looked very inviting!

Seeing this, Shangguan You’s face changed slightly.

Chu Ning’s lips curled up. “The sparks will present different colors and patterns according to the rhythm. It’s a pity I didn’t have much time. If not, there can be more colors and patterns…”

The corner of Chu Liuyue’s lips twitched. “N-no need. This is already enough…”

It’s too eye-catching.

Shangguan You grunted and said sourly, “You have spent so much effort…”

Chu Ning tidied his clothes. “Not really. It’s just something girls like, so I added it in.”

Chu Liuyue was speechless. Something seems off…

“Hm? You’re all here?” When Shangguan Jing came over, he saw the group of people and was shocked.

He walked over with huge steps and quickly saw the longevity locks in Rong Xiu’s hand, as well as the rattle drums in Chu Liuyue’s.

What else did he not understand?

He scoffed. “I was just wondering why the two of you didn’t really go out recently. So you were working on these?”

Shangguan You coughed. “Ancestor.”

Chu Ning laughed. “Senior Shangguan, are you here to give presents too?”

Shangguan Jing raised his brows and was not shocked that someone guessed it correctly.

“Of course!” He smiled delightfully and looked at Chu Liuyue. “Yue’er Girlie, you’ll definitely like the thing I give you the most!”

When he entered, Chu Liuyue noticed that he hid his hands as if he were holding something.

Hearing this, Chu Liuyue was convinced. After all, Ancestor is Ancestor. He should be giving Yuan instruments, not things like my fathers have given.

However, she could not say such words.

She coughed and said, “I like the things that both my fathers gave me. I also like what you give. The heart is the most important—”

“Senior Shangguan, what are you giving her? Can you let us take a look? Seeing how confident you are… it mustn’t be something ordinary, right?” Before Chu Liuyue could finish, Chu Ning interrupted her.

She looked up. Seeing that Chu Ning seemed rather insistent, her head hurt.

Are they competing? What’s there to fight about!?

Unexpectedly, Shangguan You seemed instigated as he added, “Yeah! Ancestor, what did you give? Can we take a look at it?”

Chu Liuyue’s glabella twitched. Chu Ning is fine, yet Shangguan You joined in… In the past, how could these two people talk to Ancestor in this manner? Why are they suddenly so competitive?

However, Shangguan Jing was not angry. Not only was he not enraged, but he was even prideful. “Hah, you’re indignant? I’ll let you look at it!”

As he spoke, he carefully took out the item from behind him. “Yue’er, look! Do you like it!?”

Two pairs of soft tiger-head shoes lay quietly in his palms.

The shoes were very tiny, not even half the size of his palm. They were very intricate.

Shangguan Jing was delighted. “These are the tiger-head shoes I personally made! Not only are they comfortable, but they’re very useful! Once they wear it, the girls will definitely run quickly!”

Chu Liuyue’s forehead throbbed. Of course, the tiger-head shoes are adorable. Besides, even if Ancestor did not say it, I can tell that he has spent quite a bit of effort on it. This is a Yuan instrument, but…

“Ancestor, why did you use a pink cloth?”

Shangguan Jing gasped. “Is pink not nice? This cloth can act as a shield, and it’s very precious. The pink is also very rare. I found it with much difficulty.”

Chu Liuyue held her forehead and lied, “L-looks good…”

“I knew it! Look at the pink pearls here. I grinded those from Tang Ke’s items! How beautiful!”

Shangguan You looked disappointed. “Ancestor is indeed capable.”

Chu Ning sighed. “I can’t compare.”

They truly thought that they had lost.

Rong Xiu, who had always been elegant and pristine, stared at the tiger-head shoes. Then, he sighed and said seriously, “They’re really very cute and pretty. Thank you for your efforts.”

Shangguan Jing shuddered. “I knew that… I’d definitely win!”

Chu Liuyue kept quiet for a moment before weakly asking, “What if it’s two so—”

Suddenly, Big Baby pushed open the door to enter. Hearing this, he knitted his brows and looked at Rong Xiu. “You’re not that useless, right?”
