Chapter 995 - 868 Going to the Empress Dowager to Pluck Eastern Pearls_2

"I know you don’t want to, but the Empress Dowager’s reward, if not worn and later known by the Empress Dowager, might lead to other thoughts."

Madam Ji suppressed her anger to explain to Wang Dongxue.

Ji Youyuan, seeing her reluctance, said to Madam Ji.

"This bracelet has a body-nurturing and spirit-gathering array inscribed by my second sister-in-law, it’s good for the fetus if she wears it.

If Mother is worried about gossip in the palace, just order someone to place these pearls in the Ancestral Hall and offer incense thrice a day, ensuring no one finds any fault!"

Madam Ji: "..."

Wang Dongxue: "..."

Ji Youyuan casually picked up a hairpin embedded with two large pearls and directly inserted it into Wang Dongxue’s hair.

"These two large pearls have decent spiritual Qi, it’s great for Madam to nurture her pregnancy with!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui continued.

"It’s a pity they’ve been drilled. Otherwise, if three identical pearls were used to inscribe an array on Aunt’s body, the little brother and sister could be more peaceful and not fight!"

Upon Xiaosuisui’s words, Ji Youyuan blinked and abruptly turned to look at her!

"Do you speak the truth?"

Xiaosuisui nodded, "Of course, I just felt it on Aunt’s belly, the brother and sister have innate magic power, but Aunt doesn’t have much of her own. They can’t absorb enough power to nourish themselves, so they fight for the scant amount of power on Aunt."

Upon hearing this, Ji Youyuan inexplicably found it quite reasonable.

Madam Ji said, "Aren’t there two here? Can you inscribe on them?"

After asking, she hurriedly added, "I have two that are slightly smaller, I’ll fetch them and see if you can use them!"

Hearing this, Wang Dongxue and Ji Youyuan both looked at her, their eyes saying, Mother, you still have such treasures?

Madam Ji quickly explained, "The third son gave them to me a few days ago."

Ji Youyuan promptly bowed to his mother, "Thank you, Mother, for your generosity."

"Wait, I’ll get them now!"

Madam Ji quickly returned with a box, inside were many gold and silver ornaments, including a bracelet of the same material as Wang Dongxue’s.

Xiaosuisui stared at the jade bracelet without blinking.

"Do you like it?

Then Grandma will give it to you to keep in the courtyard, wear it when you grow up, and use it for your dowry!"

Xiaosuisui shook her head, "This one doesn’t have an array, Aunt’s does, I was thinking of inscribing one for Grandma too!"

"Oh! That would be great. If you can, inscribe one on it and wear it yourself!"

Madam Ji handed the bracelet over to her.

Xiaosuisui didn’t decline since a five-year-old child didn’t understand such formalities.

"Look, there are two, can you inscribe your mentioned array on them?"

Xiaosuisui took one in her hand, held it up to the light, and shook her head in disappointment.

Ji Youyuan also took another, glanced at it, and said, "This one lacks spirit Qi, perhaps the mother of these pearls was of different kind, or maybe there’s some fate involved here!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Ji was inevitably disappointed and quickly asked what should be done?

"Can these two, even with drilled holes, still be used?

Should we seal the holes?"

Madam Ji, anxious and slightly confused, asked without thinking.

Ji Youyuan didn’t speak, but Xiaosuisui quickly responded.

"It’s impossible, the spirit Qi is gone once drilled."

Xiaosuisui held the hairpin in her hand, using her finger as a brush, casually drew a few strokes with magic, and on it appeared a rune only she could see.

She personally placed the hairpin on Wang Dongxue.

"Wear this for now, it will keep the brother and sister settled for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Madam Ji and Ji Youyuan understood.

They needed to find such pearls as soon as possible!

"I’ll make a trip to Bright Moon Pavilion and have the third son search everywhere."

Ji Youyuan added, "I’ll send a letter to the Sect, asking them to search everywhere too!"

Xiaosuisui blinked, questioning herself, "What should I do?"

Xie Pan’Er softly suggested, "You can go to the Palace to greet the Empress Dowager and tell her you really like the large undrilled pearls that the Madam wears so you can hold them to play."

Xiaosuisui blinked.

Madam Ji and Ji Youyuan both quickly looked over at her.
