"I like it!"

Yin Liuli said earnestly, "But I want something else even more, please grant me this gift, Your Majesty!"

Gu Jinyan noticed her unusual behavior and kowtowed without hesitation.

"I beg my maternal grandmother for a reward!"

"Yan'er, this is not the time to spoil her! It's extremely rude!"

Cheng Yi quickly gave her son a look, then stood up to speak on their behalf, "These two children were probably just overjoyed and talking nonsense. Please forgive them, Father and Mother..."

"Your Highness, I am not talking nonsense."

Yin Liuli pointed to the jade bracelet on the Empress's wrist, raised an eyebrow and said, "I want the jade bracelet on Your Majesty's wrist."

"Liuli, don't talk nonsense!"

Cheng Yi's expression changed.

This jade bracelet was a family heirloom passed down from her maternal grandmother, representing the glory of her maternal family, and was passed down from generation to generation to her daughter.

My maternal grandmother handed this jade bracelet to my mother before she passed away, and my mother often liked to wear it.

When my mother passes away in the future, I will pass this bracelet on to her.

"this……"

The Empress unconsciously touched the bracelet, a troubled look appearing on her face. "Princess Consort, I'm willing to give you any other reward, but this bracelet of mine... I'm afraid it won't do."

Why?

Yin Liuli tilted her head.

Princess Chengyi was somewhat angered and stopped her, saying, "Liuli, don't be rude!"

"Princess Consort, the jade cabbage I bestowed upon you is far more valuable than the jade bracelet the Empress possesses. What do you need it for?"

Seeing her insistence, the Emperor looked puzzled. "Even if you like jade, didn't the Empress and I give you several top-quality jade bracelets in your dowry?"

Yin Liuli said seriously, "I don't like jadeite, I just want this jadeite bracelet."

At the wedding, she couldn't very well tell the Empress directly that her jade bracelet had been tainted with impurities, causing her illness.

And if I'm not mistaken, this thing will soon bring you trouble, and in severe cases, it can lead to a sudden and violent death!

However, she needs to get her hands on it to know exactly what kind of turbid energy this jade bracelet contains, and then she can make a corresponding judgment.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across the Empress's face, and she forced a smile.

"Liuli, this item was passed down from my mother and is a token of my maternal clan. I really cannot give it to you..."

In this way, I have many jade bracelets in my palace that are not much worse than this one.

"Go and choose whatever you like; I will surely reward you."

Yin Liuli pursed her lips deeply, "No, I want it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone gasped. This Crown Princess was far too arrogant!

In an instant, several high-ranking officials who had come to observe the ceremony rebuked him with stern faces.

"How outrageous! I've seen plenty of people begging for favors, but this is the first time I've seen someone forcibly demanding them!"

"How dare you, a mere princess consort, accept a token from Her Majesty the Empress's maternal clan?"

"You refuse the carefully selected gift and insist on the Empress's family heirloom; this makes no sense!"

"At such a young age, he already knows how to act spoiled and arrogant; what kind of behavior is this!"

……

The wedding, which was supposed to be a perfect occasion, was ruined by Yin Liuli. Princess Chengyi was furious and said angrily,

"Daughter-in-law, what exactly do you want? That's the Empress Dowager's most precious jewelry. Who do you think you are!"

"My mother is good-natured and won't hold it against you, but I don't have that kind of temper!"

Her attitude towards Yin Liuli has indeed undergone a complete 180-degree change, and she is now wholeheartedly looking forward to her marriage and treating this daughter-in-law well.

The insistence on the jade bracelet was too embarrassing, and Princess Chengyi's fiery temper flared up immediately.

"Ah Yi, don't be angry, don't be angry..."

Gu Fanghan quickly gave Gu Jinyan a look, stopped her hand, and advised, "The ceremony has just been completed, and the guests are all here. Let's talk this out!"

"She tried to talk things out calmly!"

Princess Chengyi was furious and wished she could send this audacious daughter-in-law back to where she had been brought from.

"Look how spoiled she has become! She ruined a perfectly good wedding like this, and she refused the rewards personally chosen by Father and Mother, but instead she's making a fool of herself here!"

"I must have been blinded by greed! How could I have agreed to marry you to Yan'er in the first place!"

The Empress waved her hand helplessly.

"Yi'er, let it go. Liuli doesn't know the significance of this bracelet, so I won't blame her."

Although the Emperor was displeased, he maintained a kind expression.

"Yes, she doesn't know anything! Even your mother doesn't blame her, so don't be angry."

"My dear ministers are all eagerly awaiting the wedding feast. Quickly announce the completion of the ceremony and escort them to their bridal chamber!"

"Yes! Your subject obeys."

Princess Chengyi glanced at everyone present, so angry she almost vomited blood. "Guards, escort them to their bridal chamber and begin the banquet!"

"Bride, it's time to go to the bridal chamber..."

The matchmaker, her hands trembling with cold sweat, quickly helped Yin Liuli to her feet and pushed her towards the bridal chamber.

Yin Liuli was dragged and pulled into the festively decorated bridal chamber.

Everyone went out to the wedding banquet, leaving her alone. She lifted her veil and paced back and forth, deep in thought.

It wasn't that she didn't want to tell the Empress directly that there was something wrong with the bracelet.

However, since she hadn't touched the bracelet, she couldn't figure out what this turbid energy was, and couldn't explain it clearly.

Moreover, saying that the Empress's bracelet would bring misfortune in front of a group of court officials would be incredibly embarrassing for them.

A short while later, Gu Jinyan opened a crack in the door and slipped inside.

"Gu Jinyan, how's it outside?"

Yin Liuli quickly stepped forward, looking at him solemnly with her bright eyes.

"Not so good. Mother's anger hasn't subsided yet, and the ministers are all gossiping, saying you're spoiled and arrogant..."

"Liuli, you've really stirred up a hornet's nest!"

Gu Jinyan raised an eyebrow slightly, then changed the subject.

"But it's alright, your husband is here! By the way, when you wanted to get something, did you notice something?"

Yin Liuli nodded quickly.

"I can't say for sure, but something's very wrong with it!"

She kept her head covered by a red veil, so she couldn't see the Empress's face. Judging from the foul air emanating from the bracelet, she could tell that the Empress was not feeling well.

Gu Jinyan's brows furrowed, and he said in a low voice,

"As you know, this bracelet is a family heirloom of my maternal grandmother, so it's probably not easy to get it back."

"If you can't get it here, then smash it with a talisman!"

Yin Liuli pursed her lips and whispered in his ear, "It's going to be broken anyway, otherwise the Empress will be in trouble if she keeps wearing it!"

Break it?

Gu Jinyan was immediately taken aback.

Destroying the Empress Dowager's family heirloom is no joke!

"Gu Jinyan, do you dare?"

Seeing that she couldn't get the bracelet, Yin Liuli lowered her voice and said, "Although I'm not sure where that foul air came from, if you keep wearing it, your grandmother will be in danger."

"Dare! What's there to be afraid of?"

Gu Jinyan frowned, gritted his teeth, and said, "Is the life of my maternal grandmother less important than a jade bracelet?! What do you suggest we do?!"

Yin Liuli scratched her chin, pondered for a moment, and then said...

"We need to outsmart them in this..."
