Shen Cong held the teacup in his hand and said, "Giving gifts isn't about their value, but whether they are desired."
"The second prince is still young, and I can't quite fathom what he likes, so the gift should be well thought out. A wild horse can accompany the second prince as he grows. When he gets older, understands things, and learns to ride, he will recognize that this horse is my gift, naturally making it much better than gold and jade!"
"As for the eldest prince, as you said, he already understands human affairs and can distinguish between good and bad. What fine things aren't there in the palace? Though he is prudent by nature, deep down, he is still a child!" Shen Cong placed the teacup down, "Being a child, he will like things that children do. Novelty is better than value!"
The attendant suddenly understood, gave a thumbs up, and flattered him emphatically.
Shen Cong smiled silently.
Some things, he didn't say aloud.
