When he asked this question, he felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Butler Huo has always been measured and did not show any strange expression. When he heard this question, it was like Xiao Yu asked him about others.
Things are just as natural.
"It's my fault that I was negligent. The princess's birthday and horoscope had been sent to me a long time ago. I didn't notice this. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"So you should send some gifts?"
Butler Huo nodded lightly, "Theoretically this is indeed the case."
"Then what should I give you?"
This was a bit embarrassing for Butler Huo. He thought for a long time before saying: "Usually, they are sent to the girl's house, mostly ornaments and jewelry and other exquisite things. We don't have such things in the warehouse at home. I will ask someone to send some.
come over."
Xiao Yu thought about it carefully. When Xie Songhua received the jewelry from Xie Wenyuan and the others at Xie's house, he seemed to be very happy.
but……
She seems to be happy because of the value of those things, after all, she has never been seen wearing them seriously.
Is it possible to give her money directly?
This seems a little inappropriate.
With a flash of inspiration, Xiao Yu quickly stopped Butler Huo who was about to retreat, "That's all, I'll go and deliver it myself!"
Butler Huo almost couldn't control the surprise in his eyes, and it took a lot of effort not to let himself be surprised.
As expected, Commander Huang has a good eye for price. Last time, he just casually mentioned that there was going to be a princess in the palace. He was so arrogant that the prince didn't seem annoyed at all.
It seems that His Majesty is not entirely acting randomly.
Xie Songhua celebrated her birthday last year with Jiang Shuhua. It was her first birthday after coming to Xie Mansion, and it was also her birthday gift.
But that birthday was celebrated according to the calculated date. Strictly speaking, it was not her real birthday.
When the actual birthday came, it was deserted. Only Yu Ruzhuo gave her a gift.
Or...her most precious gift.
But this year's birthday, the Xie family was not careless at all. When they were greeting each other in the Shou'an Hall last night, the old lady said that they would have a lively day today.
No one has any objection to this arrangement.
Since Mrs. Qi had brought a lot of things over in the past two days, the old lady was quite satisfied, so this time she made it clear that Mrs. Qi was Xie Songhua's biological mother, and she would teach Mrs. Qi to handle the matter of celebrating Xie Songhua's birthday this time.
Originally, the old lady didn't need to talk about such a trivial matter in person, but this time the arrangement revealed a message. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Qi family will be in charge of the central government of the mansion again.
It didn't matter to Mrs. Yu. Her mother's family's family background was not high, but it was considered low, and she was in the middle level among the three sisters-in-law.
Her husband is doing well in the Ministry of Etiquette now and should be promoted to a higher position soon. Her own dowry is also generous enough, but with a son and a daughter, she is the one with the least pressure.
Anshi was naturally dissatisfied, but now her mentality was much better than before. The most important thing was that her son was now a serious fifth-rank official. She felt that she should also show some identity and attitude.
Come.
But Mrs. Qi didn't seem to be really happy.
Secretly, I felt that the old lady was being rude and deliberately used Xie Songhua's birthday as a stepping stone to reinstate her.
No matter what the sisters-in-law thought, Xie Songhua's birthday was still celebrated with great excitement.
The maids at the spring banquet got up early in the morning, all dressed up, and then came over to wish Xie Songhua his birthday.
She was only sixteen years old, but so many people came forward one after another to say auspicious words, as if she were an old lady with white hair.
This is a scene that has never been seen in the previous life!
Fortunately, with Aunt Lan's advice, last night I took a purse and packed various rewards of various sizes, and now I distributed them to them.
Then, accompanied by Aunt Lan, we went to Shou'an Hall to kowtow to the old lady, and then to Mengpoju and Summer Palace to kowtow to Xie Yuncang and the Qi family.
Several elders kowtow to each other
After walking around and receiving a lot of rewards, she went back to the banquet platform, where other peers and the housekeepers and ladies from all over the house came to pay her birthday.
A lot of longevity noodles have already been delivered to the big kitchen, and the maids at the banquet table will greet people who come to eat noodles.
During the four years of Fenghuaxueyue, I have been very quiet and honest, doing some things in the yard to the best of my ability.
Today, I also presented my birthday gift early and received it with the others.
A few young sisters were playing and joking in the living room. At noon, the whole family sat together to eat, and even Xie Langhua and Xie Wenhua came back.
The brothers also each had gifts to offer.
Everyone was in harmony and happy.
Even Xie Sihua had a smile on his face.
Only Ms. Qi felt sore in the eyes. Early this morning, she sent people to the East Palace to give Jiang Shuhua a birthday gift. However, thinking that her daughter was now in the East Palace and had a low status, she was afraid that no one would remember her birthday.
The lively scene I saw in front of me was like the sky above and below the ground, and my heart was filled with panic.
It's just that it's not easy to show it in front of everyone.
As soon as the banquet started, the lady in charge of the outer courtyard walked in with a smile, "The palace has sent our girl a birthday gift, and my servant brought it here specially."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then she said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a person who understands etiquette."
According to etiquette, the man should indeed bring gifts to the woman, and everyone in the house knows this.
But no one dared to mention this matter. After all, the other party was King Chen. If he didn't give it away, how could he still make irresponsible remarks?
Who knew that it would actually be made up for now.
"Where are the people? Since they are here, why don't they stay for a while?"
"It was sent here by the steward of the palace. The reception is being held in the front courtyard. It's just not possible to go to the inner courtyard at this time."
Hearing that the steward was here, the old lady ordered people to entertain her nicely. Then she looked at the gift box and said, "I don't know what the prince has given to the third girl."
Everyone's eyes fell on Xie Songhua for a moment, as if they were waiting for her to go over and take a look.
Xie Songhua was a little helpless. He said that the steward sent it here, so he knew that it was selected by people under the palace, but it was just those things.
With so many people staring at her, it was hard for her to say no.
However, Xie Wenhua stepped forward and took the box directly, "I don't know what I gave you. You will know if you open it and take a look."
For such a small box, everyone actually guessed that it might be some kind of exquisite jewelry.
Unexpectedly, Xie Wenhua took out a few pieces of paper and asked, "What is this?"
He handed the box out, shook off the paper on it, and the expression on his face became a little frozen. He turned to look at Xie Songhua, and then exclaimed: "Okay! This Xiao Yu is so generous."
"Don't be rude!" The old lady scolded her immediately, and then asked, "Is this... a shop?"
"No!" Xie Wenhua sent the piece of paper to Xie Songhua's hand, "The jewelry shop on Zhengning Street, and the business in the shop have all the paperwork and were sent here."
This statement surprised everyone else in the room. There is a tidy shop on Zhengning Street that has been open for decades. The profit is not small. So just give it to Xie Songhua as a birthday gift?
For a moment, the eyes in the room looking at Xie Songhua changed again.
