shi xi looked calm on the surface and pretended to be fine. “why can’t i go over?”

“the first prince said that there were too many people at the banquet and he couldn’t take care of the princess consort.” sena looked at shi xi’s expression.

“it’s okay. find me a dress.” shi xi smiled shallowly. “1 haven’t been to the party for a long time, i want to play for a while.”

sena hesitated. “this…”

“tell the first prince.”

“yes.”

sena knew that shi xi was under house arrest and could not be released easily.

after calling ryan and getting permission, sena brought shi xi the gown.

this time, she brought a grass-green gown.

it was much simpler than the red ribbon dress from before.

there was no strap on the back, so it was easy to wear.

she wore a green dress with spaghetti straps and a white silk shawl on the outside. she looked lazy and elegant.

“it’s perfect for this necklace.” sena took out the emerald necklace and put it on shi xi. she said sincerely, “princess consort looks good no matter what she wears!”

“yes.” shi xi looked at the girl in the mirror. she could not find a place to be humble even if she wanted to.

it was too beautiful.

she couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

“put on that pair of jade earrings for me,” shi xi instructed as she looked at the things in the jewelry box.

“i think this pair of pearls looks better.” sena had a different opinion.

shi xi was deep in thought. “or wear those diamond earrings.”

“alright,” said sena.

the huge diamond earrings made her face look even smaller, but they also shone brightly under the light.

shi xi was tempted by the extravagant life of the royal family again.

she couldn’t finish wearing her haute couture gowns.

endless jewelry and diamonds.

wasn’t this life so good?

sena put the earrings on shi xi’s head and took out a pair of jade bracelets from the jewelry box. she matched them with shi xi’s. “take off the purple bracelet on your hand. wearing this pair of jade bracelets will match your clothes better.”

shi xi looked at the violet bracelet on her wrist.

xie yunzhou had given it to her.

she couldn’t take it off after putting it on. even though her leg was broken in an avalanche, the bracelet didn’t break.

“no need, just stack them.” shi xi smiled lightly and put on the jade bracelet.

the two bangles collided with a crisp sound.

sena’s heart stopped beating.

she knew that jade bracelets were crisp and melodious.

but if she smashed them…

that would be another kind of accident.

“let’s go now,” said sena after putting on the bracelet. “the banquet is coming to an end. do you still want to go?”

“yes,” shi xi said firmly.

it was the most chaotic time when she left.

even though xie yunzhou did not say it, it was the easiest time to escape when the show was over.

seeing shi xi’s insistence, sena could only push her back to the banquet.

they entered the banquet hall without any obstructions.

at this moment, the auction segment of the charity banquet was in progress.

“next up is the last good item of this charity banquet, the sapphire necklace: the tears of aegean bay.”

“the necklace is made up of eighteen different-sized sapphires, surrounded by thirty-six diamonds and seventy-two broken diamonds.”

“the necklace is well preserved, and the sapphire is saturated in purity. it is a rare gem necklace.”

“starting price: 2 million.”

when shi xi heard this description, she knew that this was bonita’s necklace.

however, the starting price of 2 million was a little low.

the gemstones of that necklace could be bought for at least 5 million yuan.

not long after, someone started to bid.

“2.2 million.”

“2.4 million.”
