At this time, the chief eunuch came over and said that the eldest princess, the fourth princess and the fifth princess came to ask for a meeting.

System: [Aruan, do you want to eat melon now? ]

Yuan Ruan stood up in surprise: [I won’t eat anymore. The princesses are here. This is a surprise that everyone prepared for my brother, and there is also a gift that I prepared for my brother. I have to concentrate.]

Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty:...

Huh? Little Imperial Master! Aren’t we going to talk about the love story between the Emperor and Empress? !

The emperor felt relieved when he heard this.

He stopped drinking and immediately asked the chief eunuch to bring the princesses over.

Yuan Ruan said again: [Strange, why isn't the Second Princess here? ]

System: [She was in the late stage of pregnancy, and Cheng Weining forcibly took her back. ]

Yuanruan: [That’s right. You can’t run around when you’re about to give birth.]

At this time, several princesses came in to pay their respects. They first said some auspicious words to celebrate the New Year, and then said that there was a New Year's gift specially prepared for their father, which was around the waterfall in the back mountain.

The emperor was very polite and said he would go over to take a look immediately.

The court officials were also very considerate and made comments such as "The princesses specially prepared unique gifts" and "I envy Your Majesty for having such a filial daughter" and so on.

In order to flatter the emperor, Prime Minister Li also complained about some of his useless daughters, who only knew how to take gifts from him every year but never prepared any gifts for him.

This caused several of Prime Minister Li's relatives and sons-in-law to twitch their lips and roll their eyes fiercely: "Please! Didn't you say that you don't allow your daughter and son-in-law to give gifts in order to avoid suspicion?"

In the emperor's ears, his daughters were praised by the court officials in various ways. Although the emperor did not change his expression, the corners of his mouth were always slightly raised at a thirty-degree angle.

Wait for the dance to end.

The emperor suddenly stood up, waved his hand, and announced that he would celebrate the New Year with the people. Interested courtiers could go and see the gifts the princesses gave to the emperor.

The civil and military officials in the court were just flattering politely:...

Wait, Your Majesty! They just wanted to exchange polite words and were planning to go back to their respective homes for the New Year.

The Minister of War, on the other hand, was somewhat expectant, and whispered, "The telescope that the little imperial master prepared for General Wu Yi before seemed to be made of glass. Could the gift prepared for Your Majesty this time be something better?"

After this was said, other officials began to look forward to it again.

However, the smiles of the officials from the Ministry of Revenue disappeared.

When the princesses heard what the emperor said, they were also stunned.

When the eldest princess thought of the gift Yuan Ruan suggested, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.

The eldest princess coughed lightly and reminded, "Father, the glass this time is just the imagination of our daughters, not a powerful object like a telescope."

After this was said, the court officials didn't want to go even more.

If it was just glass, they had taken a sneak peek some time ago and saw a pile of grey, fragile items. What else could they do with that pile of stuff besides holding water or some food?!

The emperor said: "It doesn't matter, the intention is what matters most."

The princesses looked at each other and fell silent.

The court officials were afraid to say anything when they heard this. His Majesty had already said that "the thought is the most important thing". Even if it was for the sake of showing their own "thoughts", they had to go over and take a look and praise first.

The emperor took the lead.

The Minister of War helped the slightly drunk Minister of Revenue, and the two Vice Ministers of Justice also helped the Minister of Justice in a low-key manner. Regardless of whether they were drunk or not, they all followed the team.

Soon, the court officials arrived at their destination.

The moment they arrived, everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
