Chu Shao smiled softly and reached out to open the pear wood box.

"Just now, I was a little curious, so I opened the box to take a look. However, after pondering for a while, I still don't know what these things are for, so I thought I should ask the prince for advice."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin's gaze froze completely after only a glance.

After the box was completely open, the props that Chu Shao had mentioned lay quietly among the brocade.

Not just one, but a row.

Inside were various jade products of different sizes and thicknesses. As for what these things looked like, Xiao Jin understood it without elaboration.

With a rough glance, she saw that each jade product was carved from white jade.

As for what the row of jade products were called and what their purpose was, Xiao Jin was sure that if she really told Chu Shao, she would definitely be warned by the Jiang Wenxue City.

It was too much for her eyes to handle, so she simply closed them and did not want to face the reality of too many elements.

When she opened her eyes again, Xiao Jin looked at Chu Shao's innocent and gentle smile and had already cursed Old Zhang's entire family in her heart a thousand times.

She tried to maintain a calm and composed attitude, organized her words, and spoke to Chu Shao, "Princess, please give me the box."

Chu Shao seemed unaware of what was inside the box, so she obediently handed it to Xiao Jin.

Seeing the obviously frosty expression on Xiao Jin's face, she couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Does the prince need to use it?"

... What use?

Xiao Jin didn't answer Chu Shao's question, nor did she look at the lifelike jade products. Instead, she seriously talked about another topic.

"If we talk about its usefulness, these things are naturally useful. But whether they can be useful or not depends on the princess's mood."

"My mood?"

Although Chu Shao didn't understand what Xiao Jin was talking about, she was very curious about how Xiao Jin could make them useful.

So she smiled lightly and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

Fortunately, Xiao Jin was good at talking nonsense with a serious face.

At this time, her hand touched the cold jade products in the box, and she really wanted to speak her mind, but she still managed to convince others on the surface.

Xiao Jin thought of herself as a reasonable person, so she cleared her throat and began to talk nonsense calmly: "I once read a story about a young master who wanted to please a beauty, so he tore a fan just to make her smile."

The story she told was borrowed from the allusion of "A Dream of Red Mansions", but she omitted the names of Bao Yu and Qing Wen.

Chu Shao frowned slightly and really didn't understand how tearing a fan could make someone happy. However, if killing could bring pleasure, she could understand it very well.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin's skill at talking nonsense became more and more proficient.

Knowing full well that tearing a fan had nothing to do with these things, she took out a jade product from the box and could still say without blushing or beating: "So these things can also be used in this way."

Chu Shao looked at Xiao Jin with great interest, curious about what she was going to do with that thing.

The next moment, she found out.
