After Tianshu left, Princess Xian stood where she was and couldn't help but clasped her hands together.

"God has eyes, God has eyes." She almost thought that her son would never be able to be with a woman in this life.

Unexpectedly, things suddenly took a turn for the better. This time, she must find a way to bring them together.

Princess Xian secretly made up her mind that as long as her son liked it, she would make this matter a success.

In the afternoon, An Qingqian was enjoying the cool under a tree in her yard when she suddenly heard regular knocks on the door.

A little maid opened the door and saw that the person coming was the boy at the door, followed by two little girls.

"These two are from Prince Xian's Mansion. They have come here specially to see the Madam." The servant sent them to the door and left.

Originally, this was not necessary, but now An Qingqian's relationship with Zhang Shi was strained, and she was worried that Zhang Shi would order the servant at the front door to detain the person who brought her the message, so she deliberately stuffed silver into the servant at the door and told him to bring anyone who came to see her directly.

The maid who opened the door glanced at the two of them and said, "Please wait a moment. I will go and report to our young lady."

The maid explained the situation to An Qingqian. Although An Qingqian was confused, she still let them in.

"Your servant greets the Madam." The two maids bowed to An Qingqian politely.

"Madam, I am a maid in the Xianwang Mansion. The princess' birthday is in two days. The princess specially ordered me to deliver the invitation and invite you to attend the birthday party."

The maid said this as she handed over a note.

Bo Yun took it, found nothing unusual, and handed it to An Qingqian.

An Qingqian opened it and saw that it was indeed a note from Princess Xian.

"Thank the princess for me and tell her I will come."

After the maids from Prince Xian's mansion left, Bo Yun spoke in confusion.

"Miss, why did this virtuous princess suddenly invite you to her birthday?"

This has never happened before, and this invitation is a bit strange.

"I don't know either." An Qingqian couldn't understand why this happened.

"Boyun, send someone to investigate secretly and find out who else the Xianwang Mansion has sent the invitation to."

An Qingqian always felt that there must be something strange about this, otherwise, why would the Xianwang Mansion send her an invitation for no reason?

Bo Yun was very quick and found out the information An Qingqian needed in less than half an hour.

"Miss, I have heard that the Xianwang Mansion has also sent invitations to the Prime Minister's Mansion, as well as to many ladies in the capital."

"I understand." An Qingqian nodded.

In that case, it wouldn't be out of place to send her an invitation. It was probably just an invitation to all the important people in the capital. As for myself, it was just a routine matter.

"Boyun, go down and pick out something suitable. Two days later, come with me to celebrate the birthday of Princess Xian." An Qingqian sighed lightly, perhaps he was thinking too much.

In her next life, she always likes to think of things in the worst possible way and wants to figure out the reasons for everything.

"Miss, what should I choose?" Bo Yun couldn't make up his mind.

After all, the other party is the virtuous princess and her status is not ordinary.

The virtuous prince is the emperor's younger brother and has a very good relationship with the emperor. The gift he wants to give to the virtuous prince's wife is naturally different from other gifts.

"I remember there are six Dongzhu in the warehouse. You can get them here and we will give them to you as a gift." An Qingqian pondered for a while before thinking of a suitable thing.

Dongzhu is a rare but unobtrusive thing. It is not outstanding and cannot be found fault with. It is the most suitable gift to the virtuous princess.

"Miss, those Dongzhu are your favorites. Would you like me to keep two?"

Before she got married, An Qingqian liked the six oriental pearls very much. Therefore, when she got married, the general specifically ordered that they be used as her dowry and that An Qingqian bring them with her so that she could see them anytime in the future.

Wouldn't it be a bad idea to give them all away?

"No need to give them all away. Many people know about these six Dongzhu. If I only give away four, and someone tells Princess Xian about it, wouldn't that offend people?"

An Qingqian shook her head. The six Dongzhu were indeed very beautiful and she liked them very much.

However, at present, this Dongzhu is the most suitable.

Moreover, Shi Qiuwu had helped me once and saved my life, so it was only right for him to give me this.

She had originally been thinking about whether she should take this opportunity to prepare a thank-you gift for Shi Qiuwu, but she was worried that there were too many people in the palace and some unpleasant rumors might spread, so she had to give up the idea.

The two days passed quickly.

In Prince Xian's mansion, Princess Xian got up early, got herself dressed, and quickly took people to Shi Qiuwu's yard.

"Mother? Why are you here?" Shi Qiuwu was slightly surprised to see Princess Xian coming over.

"Mother is here to bring you a set of clothes." Princess Xian excitedly instructed the maid beside her to put the clothes on the table.

"Mother, I have a lot of clothes. Why bother you to deliver them personally? You should just take them back." Shi Qiuwu refused without even looking at the clothes on the table.

His mother always sent him some brightly colored clothes, but he didn't like them.

"Today is mother's birthday, can't you wear something brightly colored?" Seeing Shi Qiuwu's refusal, Princess Xian immediately became unhappy.

"Look at you. You wear gray clothes all day long. You are only 23 years old. If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are an old man who doesn't know how to dress yourself."

Princess Xian walked around her son twice with disgust, her brows furrowed.

I had specially invited An Qingqian this time. It would be strange if she would like him given the way he is dressed today.

She had to dress Shi Qiuwu up well, at least to leave a good impression on others.

"Mother..." Shi Qiuwu was about to say something when he was interrupted by his mother.

"Okay, okay, I know you're the most reasonable. Today is my birthday. If you dress nicer, I'll be in a better mood, right?"

"I asked someone to make this dress according to your size. Please put it on and let me see it." Princess Xian pointed to the clothes on the table.

Seeing that Shi Qiuwu did not move, Princess Xian immediately threatened, "Either you put it on yourself, or I will ask my maid to help you put it on."

Princess Xian knew that Shi Qiuwu didn't like others touching him.

He usually does almost all his own things. In his yard, there are very few servants, let alone maids.

Sure enough, after she said that, Shi Qiuwu had no choice but to agree.

Shi Qiuwu picked up the clothes and discovered that there was a hair crown next to it.

He glanced at his mother and picked them up resignedly.

Shi Qiuwu quickly changed his clothes and walked out.

He was wearing a dark red robe with gold embroidered cuffs and a black jade hair crown. He looked dignified and noble, in stark contrast to his usual plain and low-key attire.
