Chapter 288: Suspecting the Emperor's Arrival in Yongchang (2)_1

"Momo mentioned that you enjoy reading, so uncle had someone collect some books for you," Grand Prince said affectionately. "These trinkets are little things I've acquired over the years through campaigns. You can take them and play with them. I'll send more your way if I come across them in the future. The jewelry was chosen with the help of Princess Ning, and I hope you like it."

Yang Mengchen was deeply touched, not by the gifts, but by the Grand Prince's affection for her. "Thank you, uncle. I really like them," she said.

"As long as you're happy," the Grand Prince said, his face beaming with joy.

At this time, Master Jingkong presented a lotus bead bracelet to Yang Mengchen. "This is a string of Buddha Beads that my senior brother asked Laona to pass on to you."

"Please convey my thanks to the elder on behalf of my daughter," Yang Mengchen said as she took the beads with both hands.
