Clayton Xie's Enchanted Feast Chapter 11

...many years ago...

Xie Xiaojie wears a heavy filial piety and has not yet been admitted to live in the palace by his cousin. He does not go out often because his mother, who is the eldest princess, has been suspicious of him for a long time. She does not know where it comes from and is always afraid of him. If you turn around and disappear, you will be killed.

Xie Xiaojie's largest area of   activity is the Zhenguo Princess Mansion, which was given to his mother when she was still a princess. She got married and had children here, full of memories. After Emperor Ren ascended the throne, he promoted his female brother Wen Tian to the title of eldest princess. Wen Tian accepted the title and title, but refused the new house given at the same time, and only made some regulatory expansion and repairs to the old house.

In other words, no matter how young Xie Xiaojie is and how curious he is about the world, he will not find this small courtyard in Sifang World so fun. He was so familiar with this place that he had played with every plant, tree, and even a strangely patterned stone on the cobblestone path in the courtyard over and over again. He wanted to go out and be lively, at least not to live such a boring life that seemed to be repeated every day.

Then, one summer morning, as soon as Xie Xiaojie opened his eyes, he got his wish - he found a red seed like blood jade on his bedside, which shone when he looked at it in the sun. Overflowing with brilliance, more dazzling than my mother’s gems.
