The next day, Jin An got up early in the morning, packed up, and had breakfast. She was about to go to Cui Yuxuan to find her "good" third brother when she heard a noise coming from outside the hall. She looked outside and saw that Nanny Zhao understood and immediately bowed and went out to check what was going on.

In a moment, Nanny Zhao returned and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, it's Eunuch Fuquan who has arrived, and he has brought many gifts."

"A reward?" Jin An was puzzled at first, then thought to himself, "What a coincidence! Someone sends a pillow when you're sleepy. I hadn't found a suitable opportunity to send the gift I got from Zhong Chuzhou to Zhangsun Wuwang yet, so I had planned to send it today under the pretext of visiting him. Now that Eunuch Fuquan has made such a big move, I can go and give the gift to her third brother openly."

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on her face and she said, "Come on, accompany me to see what my father has sent." She got up and went outside, only to see Eunuch Fuquan holding a whisk in one hand and directing the eunuchs with the other hand to bring in things and arrange them in order.

Jin'an looked at the neatly arranged trays, among which were dazzling South China Sea pearls, each one round and plump, emitting a soft luster; there were exquisite head ornaments inlaid with various gems; a cloak made of white snow fox fur with pure fur color; and various top-quality brocades; in addition, there were precious medicinal materials, such as thousand-year-old ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, deer antler and other rare items.

When Fuquan saw Princess Jin'an coming out, he quickly stepped forward to greet her: "Princess Jin'an, how are you?"

Princess Jin'an hurriedly said, "Eunuch Fuquan, please excuse me. I wonder what you mean by this?"

"Your Highness, the Princess, His Majesty knows about the grievances you have suffered in recent days. He feels very guilty and uneasy, so he specially ordered this old servant to deliver these items to you, hoping that Your Highness will be happier." Eunuch Fuquan replied respectfully.

Princess Jin'an felt a surge of warmth in her heart after hearing Eunuch Fuquan's words. She bowed her head slightly and said softly, "I'm so sorry to trouble your Majesty with his concern. Please convey my gratitude to him, Eunuch Fuquan."

Eunuch Fuquan quickly responded, "Your Highness, you are too kind. Your Majesty's love for you is immense. These rewards are merely a token of your Majesty's appreciation."

"Eunuch Fuquan, I am very pleased with these gifts," Princess Jin'an said slowly. "I am relieved to have Eunuch Fuquan by my father's side. Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch." As she finished speaking, Nanny Zhao stepped forward and, smiling, handed Eunuch Fuquan a heavy purse.

Eunuch Fuquan uttered an "Ouch!" and tried to decline, saying, "Your Highness, this is unacceptable. Serving Your Majesty and the Princess is my duty. How dare I accept a reward from the Princess?"

Princess Jin'an smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't refuse, Eunuch. This is a small token of my appreciation. You have worked so hard for my father and have brought me these rewards. Thank you for your hard work."

Seeing the princess's resolute attitude, Eunuch Fuquan no longer refused. He took the purse with both hands and bowed, saying, "I thank you, Your Highness, for your reward. If you need anything, please let me know."

Princess Jin'an nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your help, eunuch. When you return to the palace, please convey a message to my father: ask him to take good care of himself and not overwork himself."

Eunuch Fuquan replied, "Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely convey this message. Your Highness, please have a good rest. I will return to the palace to report to Your Majesty." After saying this, Eunuch Fuquan bowed again and left with the eunuchs.

Jin An looked back at the items. She reached the white snow fox cloak and gently stroked it. The fur was soft and smooth, and it was very warm. The edges were inlaid with golden silk threads. The warmth in her palms spread to her heart, which was also warm.

Seeing this, Nanny Zhao stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Highness, this cloak is truly exquisite and luxurious. Your Majesty has seen and remembered all the grievances Your Highness has endured these days. Look at these rewards. Your Majesty's love for Your Highness is truly enviable. When the weather gets colder in a while, Your Highness will put on this cloak and will be like a fairy descended to earth."

Jin An smiled softly, her eyes filled with emotion. "Yes, my father always loves me this way. With this cloak, I won't feel cold in winter." She gently picked up the cloak and put it on, feeling the warmth and love. Han Shuang watched Princess Jin An's actions from the side, her eyes rolling, thinking to herself, "So the princess likes these fluffy things."

After a moment, she took off her cloak, turned to Ziyun and said, "Ziyun, register these and store them in the warehouse!"

Ziyun respectfully replied "yes" and arranged for people to carefully carry the rewards away.

Jin An then instructed Han Shuang, "Han Shuang, go inside and get the gift I prepared for my third brother, and follow me to Cui Yu Xuan."

Han Shuang bowed slightly, turned back into the house, and took out a long brocade box.

Jin An looked at the brocade box, a smile playing on his lips, a deep look in his eyes. "Let's go," Jin An said softly, and he walked out of the hall. Han Shuang followed closely behind Jin An, and the two of them headed towards Cui Yuxuan.
