Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Everyone in the hall of the pavilion lowered their heads. No one wanted to be the first to stand out. The gift was good, and the Wen family and His Majesty were happy, but the Grand Princess would definitely be offended.

If the etiquette is just average, not to mention what His Majesty and the Wen family will think, his family's reputation will probably be trampled on.

There are only women here, and the worst that can happen is that they don't go out, but the men in my family have to deal with officialdom every day. How can they face their colleagues in the future?

"Why? They're all hidden, and it seems they're all good stuff. In that case, let me throw out some ideas to stimulate discussion."

The Grand Princess clapped her hands, and the eunuch beside her came over holding a box. The Grand Princess asked someone to open the box, and a warm light emanated from the box.

"Oh, this is a night-shining pearl."

"I'm so happy. Pink night pearls are so rare."

"Night-shining pearl? Isn't it said that night-shining pearls can only glow at night?"

"I've heard before that there's a rare night-shining pearl in the royal treasury that was presented as tribute by a foreigner. Its splendor can be seen even during the day, but I never thought this night-shining pearl would be in the hands of the Grand Princess."

"It is worth it to see this treasure in this life."

As soon as the pearl appeared, the hall, which had been quiet, became lively again. Qian Qiansui mixed in the crowd like a leopard, standing on tiptoe and squinting his eyes to admire this pearl that is rarely seen in modern times.

I don’t know what scientific principle this bead uses, but it can actually amplify the unique gem light it emits. That warm pink color that comes from the inside out is a woman’s favorite no matter what time and space it is.

"May I ask Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess, is this pearl the capstone of the royal crown of the Kingdom of Menlo?"

I don't know which family they were from, but they suddenly asked the leader in the crowd, feeling very excited.

The eldest princess smiled and said, "That's right."

"As expected, I felt it was like this from afar. This bead has been owned by the kings of Manluo for generations. Later, this small country was destroyed and the top bead disappeared.

"I don't know how many people felt sorry for you, but they never thought they would see you in person today. We are truly honored to have this opportunity thanks to Your Highness." The woman was losing control of her emotions.

Seeing this, Qian Qiansui couldn't help but sigh secretly, saying that in this day and age, one really needs someone to flatter others, otherwise no one would know the value of this pearl.

"Your Majesty, do you think it's good?" The eldest princess turned around and asked with a little pride.

The Empress was slightly surprised, as if she hadn't expected such a precious orb to be in the hands of the Grand Princess. However, she quickly regained her composure and said with a touch of sincerity, "It's indeed quite good."

Seeing that the empress was calm and composed, the eldest princess secretly cursed the empress as an old fox, and then quickly called out the people under her one by one, especially the descendants of the Wen family, to see what birthday gifts they would send.

The Wen family has a strict family tradition, and Duke Wen was afraid that his family would be too high-profile and cause trouble for the empress.

Therefore, except for Wen Siqin, the naughty kid, all the younger generations in the family behaved well, for fear of making mistakes. Naturally, the birthday gifts this time were mostly thoughtful gestures, and there were few valuable things.

Most of the aristocratic family friends that the Wen family had were civil servants who did not hold real power and whose families were not wealthy, so except for some aristocratic families, the birthday gifts they received were all mediocre.

The eldest princess's brow furrowed as she looked, her face filled with disbelief as she asked, "Could it be that this palace's birthday gift will take first place today?"

The empress didn't care about comparisons on such matters at all, but today was her grandmother's birthday, and continuing to argue like this would only damage the reputation of the Duke's Mansion.

"Birthday gifts are not divided by status; the thoughtfulness is naturally the most important. I believe the Grand Princess will not be blinded by such vulgar things."

"You... I am just a common person, so could your Majesty's birthday gift be a chance to broaden our horizons?" The eldest princess hated the way this woman didn't care about anything the most.

This made her feel that no matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain.

The empress did not refuse, and asked the girl in palace dress beside her to take out a piece of silk.

The silk is of a fairly large size. When unfolded, it is thin and smooth. There is a large Chinese character "Fu" written in the middle, and there are some embroidery related to fortune, wealth and longevity around it, as well as embellishments with gems. It looks quite gorgeous.

But with the precious pearl in front, the book with the word "Fu" looks a little ordinary.

The eldest princess only took a glance and said, "It's good that the thought is there. This birthday gift reminds me of many years ago when the Concubine Dowager also gave a similar embroidery at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

Now think about it, time is not forgiving. Tiffany, does this blessing book look familiar to you?

Qian Qiansui admires this kind of female supporting role who keeps looking for death and dares to challenge the bottom line of the heroine.

She really gave up everything for the advancement of the story. If the Grand Princess was not in her hands and needed to check and balance Fu Zichan, the Empress would have killed this person long ago, and would not have left him to be annoying until now.

But now Fu Zichan is gone, and by the time the empress recovers, the eldest princess probably won't have many days left to live.

"The past is over, Your Highness should cherish the present." The concubine was sitting aside, and was repeatedly dragged out by the eldest princess as a raft. She had long been impatient.

"Everything is fine, everything is fine. Thank you all very much. I am old now, and I am happy to see so many people here." The old lady of the Wen family, who had not spoken for a long time, came out happily to smooth things over.

As people grow older, they become wiser. She sees things clearly and knows the hardships faced by her granddaughter, the empress. When people reach a high position, they always have to make choices.

"Grandmother, Mother spent a year preparing this silk. Don't underestimate it just because it has one word on it. Look at it, there are many other words hidden within it!"

The girl in palace dress beside the empress felt a little sorry for her mother. She took the silk and stood beside the old lady, moving closer to show her.

The people around the old lady came closer to take a look, and then everyone exclaimed in amazement: "Sure enough, there is another word for blessing within this word for blessing."

"Mother consulted thousands of elderly people in Tang Country and wrote this character 'Fu' specifically for Great-Grandmother, wishing her a long and prosperous life."

The girl has a sweet mouth and is pretty, with the youthfulness that is unique to her age.

Old Madam Wen was smiling politely before, but now she is grinning from ear to ear. Who doesn't like to have many children and grandchildren and filial offspring when they are old? The empress is so busy, but she is still so attentive. This is much more to her than those beads.

The eldest princess hated to see other people's families living in harmony, and she couldn't help but say, "Princess Yongle is really good at speaking. Of course, my feelings are not as good as Your Majesty's.

The one among us who understands this refined taste the most is the Dowager Consort. She can always bring out her birthday gifts now, let's take a look."

There was a hint of disdain on the concubine's cold face. Aunt Mei, who was standing behind her, took out a scroll and handed it to the steward of the Wen family.

The scroll was presented and opened, and indeed many people who knew painting uttered words of admiration.

Qian Qiansui slapped his forehead and no longer had the heart to look at it because what she gave him was also a scroll.
