Widow Zhao blushed. She had no ties to Brother Wang, so how could he say such bold words...

Wang Baben looked at the blushing Widow Zhao and his heart was beating fast.

"Brother, brother! It's time for us to set off..."

Wang Baben heard someone calling him, looked at Widow Zhao and said, "Sister, think about it carefully... I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, he strode away.

After hearing the noisy sounds gradually fade away, Widow Zhao touched her still hot cheek with the back of her hand.

She looked at the direction where Wang Baben disappeared and sighed slowly.

...

Wang Baben rode on his horse and held Wang Suihuan in his arms.

"Daddy, has Aunt Zhao agreed to your courtship?" The little girl's words made Wang Baben laugh.

Courtship? What does a little kid like this know?

He sighed a little disappointedly: "Your Aunt Zhao hasn't agreed yet, Daddy is still waiting..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Suihuan couldn't help but pat his chest and said, "Dad, leave this matter to Sui Sui~ I will definitely praise you in front of Aunt Zhao~"

Then Wang Baben patted the little girl on the head with a smile.

He only hoped that his sister could understand and accept him sooner. He had been back in Beijing for many days, and Dongcui was still waiting for him to return.

When Wang Baben thought of Widow Zhao's slender waist, he felt a surge of blood.

He was so scared that he quickly recited the Heart Cleansing Mantra taught by the little princess in his mind.

Never mind. I still have a few decades to live, so I still have a lot of time to spend with my girl.

...

Beijing Imperial Palace

Today is Naituan's birthday. Since Xiao Heng, Jiang Wanqing and others attach great importance to it, everyone started preparing many days in advance.

Xiao Heng also issued a special decree that from now on, on his daughter's birthday, the officials and students of Bei Xiao would have a day off.

He also took out a lot of silver from his private treasury and asked the people in the imperial kitchen to make simple cakes in advance and distribute them in Beijing.

"Zhuzhu, my dear girl~ Today is your birthday, it's time to wake up~ Today, father asked the imperial kitchen to prepare many delicious foods for us Zhuzhu!"

Xiao Heng lay beside his little girl's bed and softly called her to wake up, his eyes full of doting.

Jiang Wanqing also stood aside with a smile on her face.

Naituan woke up rubbing his eyes: "Good morning, father and mother~"

Jiang Wanqing looked at the silly and adorable little girl and walked forward to push Xiao Heng away.

"Good boy, it's time to get up. Can your mother take you to wash up and change into a beautiful dress?"

Jiang Wanqing said this and waved to Suyun, asking her to bring the brocade box over.

Naituan sat up lazily and looked at the brocade box on the bed curiously.

"Is this the birthday gift from my father and mother to Zhuzhu? Thank you, father and mother~"

Xiao Heng opened the brocade box with a doting look in his eyes, and Naituan looked inside and saw a dragon pendant inlaid with gold and jade, and an exquisitely crafted phoenix hairpin inlaid with rubies.

It’s just that the dragon and phoenix carved on it look a little cute, unlike the majestic and domineering dragon pendants and phoenix hairpins worn by Xiao Heng and Jiang Wanqing.

"This is the dragon and phoenix hairpin that your father and mother gave to you. This style was drawn by your father himself and the craftsmen spent a long time carving it! Do you like it, Zhuzhu?"

Naituan stretched out his chubby little hand and touched the dragon pendant. The moment he touched it, he felt a slight warmth on his hand.

She tilted her head and said, "It's Nuanyu! This way, Zhuzhu won't be afraid of freezing her hands in winter. Thank you, father and mother~"

As she said this, she happily hugged Jiang Wanqing's neck and gave her a kiss on the face.

Seeing their little girl so happy, Xiao Heng and Jiang Wanqing looked at each other and finally felt relieved.

"Hurry up and wash up. Put on the phoenix hairpin and dragon pendant. Our Zhuzhu will definitely be the most beautiful child in the audience~"

Xiao Heng's warm big hands gently rubbed the little girl's head.

Naituan blinked her big watery eyes and nodded happily.

I heard from my father that all the officials in the capital, regardless of their rank, would come to the palace to attend his birthday banquet.

I heard from my mother that every household in Beixiao donated twenty copper coins to build a temple for himself and made a golden statue for him, which was worshipped with incense every day.

Naituan sighed softly, it was true that the people of Beixiao were the cutest people.

Although he brought out the high-yield grain seeds himself, he did not take care of the planting at all. It was the concerted efforts of the adults and the people that enabled him to grow high-yield grain and achieve a good harvest.

I am just a porter of high-yield grain...

Milk ball stood on a small stool and rubbed his little milk teeth with a soft-bristled brush.

Now that I have received offerings from the people of Beixiao, I will protect them more from now on.

After Naituan finished washing up, he took out twenty silver notes worth one thousand taels from the space.

"Please donate these banknotes to the charity, so that those children without parents can have some extra food..."

Then she took out a stack of banknotes and slapped them on the bed: "Today, the princess is happy. Take these banknotes to comfort the families of the fallen soldiers..."

Money~ you can earn more after spending it~

The gold and silver in the imperial palaces of Tianyang Kingdom and Xiqi Kingdom are all kept in his own space.

...

"The Emperor and Empress have arrived~Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived~"

Naituan was wearing a bright red dress with a dragon and phoenix, a dragon pendant around her waist and a phoenix hairpin on her head. She was slowly walking towards them, holding hands with the Emperor and the Empress.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress, and to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Xiao Heng's expression was softer than usual at this moment: "Stand up!"

After everyone was seated, the ministers began to present gifts.

Naituan sat obediently between his father the Emperor and his mother the Empress, winking quietly at Concubine Jin and others sitting below him.

"Prime Minister Liu gave the little princess a hot spring resort outside Beijing~"

Milk ball blinked, Prime Minister Liu actually has a hot spring villa? There is something to do in winter~

"Lord Xing gave the little princess six silver butcher knives and a pair of poison-repelling chopsticks!"

Naituan looked at Xing Xing from outside and wondered if Lord Xing was addicted to slaughtering pigs.

Xiao Dezi suddenly ran to Xiao Heng and said a few words to him in panic. Xiao Heng's expression suddenly changed and he tightly gripped the wine glass in his hand.

Naituan looked at his father in confusion and said softly: "Father..."

Xiao Heng forced a smile and said, "Nothing, Zhuzhu, continue to look at the gifts your uncles gave you!"

Today is my little girl’s birthday, but a plague broke out in Xiqi, which was conquered not long ago.

And according to Xiao Dezi, the plague in Xiqi is closely related to Dajing.

It's really abominable!

Xiao Heng's expression became more and more ugly, and Xiao Baozhu's heart was also lifted.

"Lord Wang Baben gave the little princess a box of gold and silver, a box of jade and jewelry, and a pair of coral ornaments~"

Wang Baben puffed out his chest proudly. He was the little princess's direct subordinate and he could not lose to other adults in terms of gifts.

The ministers looked at Wang Baben in astonishment and couldn't help cursing in their hearts.

I can never beat him! He sends me boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. It's really annoying!

Once they save up some salary, the little princess’ birthday gift next year will definitely be even bigger than Wang Baben’s!
