Si Ning sighed and stopped. "Are you having cold feet?" He asked. He had wanted to ask the question since they stepped out of the house and when he couldn't take it anymore he decided to ask only to notice that Xiu Junjie seemed to be lost in thought and couldn't hear him because he didn't stop but continue walking.
It was a bit surprising to Si Ning when he found out it was just a calligraphy pen lying inside the box that contained the Emperor's gift, It was such a beautiful pen that Si Ning guessed it was specially made. Xiu Junjie approved of the pen gift for the Emperor but didn't approve of the crafted jade mirror for the Queen Dowager, Xiu Junjie further explained that the Queen Dowager only loved golden ornaments.
