1744: Section 1744 Palace Heart Scheme 1744: Section 1744 Palace Heart Scheme People often like to use unique objects to display their own uniqueness, and women are naturally no exception.

All those present were people of stature, experienced in the ways of the world, yet when they saw the jade-green bead Zhao Fujin took out, they still displayed an air of astonishment and envy.

Shen Yue raised his brows slightly.

With a charming smile, Zhao Fujin said, “It’s often said that Young Master Shen is broad in knowledge and experience.

Might you know the origins of this Jade Green Bead?”

Women love to test men, seeking to find one whose interests align with their own, but they always forget one thing—shared interests never equate to matching personalities.

The women showed subtle disappointment, and some started thinking that this Shen Yue, who had recently been lauded as extraordinary, seemed rather ordinary after all.

Empress Zheng appeared faintly uneasy, smiling from the side, “In truth, the origins of this bead may be known to no one but Empress Mingda.”

Empress Zheng maintained a polite smile.

She and Zhao Fujin were naturally different.
