Lian Hua felt somewhat relaxed yet still a tad nervous after listening, her hand that had been behind her back slowly moved to the front, opening to reveal a small, round jade pendant held in her palm with a blooming little lotus carved at its center. The surface of the jade was delicate and smooth, showing signs of being worn for many years, adorned with a cord she had just made.
The cord was something she had recently learned to braid by experimenting, and though it was of the simplest design, it looked rather nice.
Gazing at the jade pendant, a wave of inexplicable emotions surged in her eyes as she softly said, "This is the jade pendant I've worn since my childhood. My father had someone carve it especially for me. I've worn it for many years, and today, I would like to give it to His Majesty," to the one she cherished.
Seeing her expression and the jade pendant in her hands made the Emperor's emotions surge wildly.
