Just as Jiang Qingli was wondering about the deeper meaning, 030 in her mind offered its analysis:
[Don't be nervous. She probably just asked casually. According to the data, her favorability rating of you is quite high.]
Even knowing this, Jiang Qingli still hesitated for a moment before pointing to the ruby necklace.
The Emperor raised an eyebrow. "You guessed correctly."
'If the Emperor prepared the necklace, then this brooch…'
As if reading her mind, the Emperor lowered her gaze to the brooch, her tone slow and deliberate. "This was a gift prepared by Shen Chi."
030 promptly provided some context: [Shen Chi is the name of Qin Muye's father.]
The Emperor picked up her teacup and took a sip. "When I had just gotten pregnant, Shen Chi had already chosen a gift for our child's future female master. He made a bet with me that you would prefer his gift."
"But from the looks of it, it seems I've won."
