After speaking, he glanced at Manbao squatting next to the box, somewhat displeased as he said to Bai Shan, "You know how to win her favor, can't I win her favor too?"
Bai Shan knew the 'her' he referred to was Princess Mingda, and smiling, he said, "When we reach the Western Regions, I'll take you to find something. I've heard there are many gemstones there, surely there will be something more suitable for the princess."
Manbao replied, "Mingda prefers jade."
"Impossible, she prefers gemstones," Bai Erlang asserted confidently. "Last time I gave her pearls, she was so happy when she saw them. Who wouldn't like these sparkling gemstones?"
And the cat's eye stone is the best among them. He still believes that cat's eye stone is good.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Shan said, "If you really like it, we could privately discuss it with Governor Duan."
