Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Shi Liha stubbornly said, "My sister is a treasure to our family. If Master Huang Cheng hadn't intervened this time, I'm afraid everyone in our family would have been plunged into grief and pain."

"So for Master Huang Cheng, it was just a piece of cake, but for our whole family, it was a life-saving favor."

"Today I am only expressing my gratitude. A true life-saving grace cannot be repaid so easily."

"If Young Master Huang Cheng encounters any difficulties in the future, as long as the Guarjia Mansion can help, we will definitely not stand idly by!"

Seeing that he was speaking from the heart, Huang Cheng smiled helplessly.

"It's not that I don't know what's good for me. I came to Baohuaxuan today because my elder's birthday is coming soon."

"I want to personally select some birthday gifts that suit my elders' tastes to show my filial piety."

"So I can only refuse the kindness of the Third Young Master and the Princess."

When Wanyu heard that her savior wanted to choose a birthday gift for the elders in her family, she took the initiative to ask.

"May I ask, is it a male or female Anren who celebrates Mr. Huang's birthday?"

Huang Cheng smiled slightly and said, "It's my mother at home."

Wanyu immediately recommended herself, saying, "I see. Since I cannot hinder you from fulfilling your filial duties, I can offer you some advice."

Shi Liha also nodded in agreement.

Yinreng's eyes lit up, "Then I'll have to trouble the two princesses and the third young master to stay with me in Baohuaxuan for a while."

He had not lied. October 3rd was the Crown Princess' birthday. As the Crown Prince, he had to prepare a gift that was both agreeable and unconventional, and that showed his filial piety.

And it can’t be worse than other brothers!

In fact, he had already prepared a birthday gift, which was a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha made of pure gold.

It is still enshrined in the Huguo Temple and will be brought into the palace on the eve of the Qianqiu Festival.

The Buddha statue sits upright on a lotus seat, with his hands folded in lotus position, his left hand resting on his knee with the palm facing upwards, and his right hand hanging down to touch the ground.

The Buddha statue is dressed in a simple and solemn robe without too much decoration, and only the folds and lines of the robe show its solemn and precious appearance.

The Empress Dowager was a believer in Buddhism, and there was a small Buddhist temple set up in Shoukang Palace for prayers.

Moreover, many people in the palace also knew that ever since he recovered from smallpox and had his fortune read by Abbot Wuchen of the Huguo Temple, he became fascinated with Buddhism.

He even left the palace every month to discuss Buddhism with Abbot Wuchen at Huguo Temple.

Therefore, it is very appropriate to give the Queen Mother a Buddha statue that has been enshrined by a high monk in the Huguo Temple. It is both thoughtful and caters to her preferences.

However, this does not affect my choice of a few suitable birthday gifts. After all, the Royal Mother has the Thousand Years Festival every year.

And this is also a good excuse to get close to these people.

Wanyu smiled and shook her head, "It's no trouble, just a small matter."

"And we came into Baohuaxuan to pick out items."

"If this can help Master Huang, it will be our small token of appreciation."

As she spoke, Wanyu began to ask the elder what colors he liked, what kind of jewelry he usually wore, etc.

Then, based on the answer given by Huang Cheng, we can find out the old lady's preferences and then choose a suitable birthday gift.

Not only that, Wanyu also suggested that the other party could personally write a picture praying for a hundred years of longevity for the elders.

Use a brush to write one hundred longevity characters in different styles, and then form a "Fu" character.

The meaning is very good, and since it is made by hand, it really shows his filial piety.

The surprise in Yinreng's eyes was extremely obvious. He praised her without any reservation, "Princess, you are truly a person of great talent and beauty."

He originally just used this as an excuse to get closer to the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to actually give him an unexpected surprise.

But it is already the end of September, and there are only a few days left before the banquet in the palace.

There is not enough time to prepare this clever idea, and it is also easy to expose your identity.

I can only wait until next year's Qianqiu Festival to give this innovative birthday gift.

Moreover, after next year's general election, the position of this Guwalja Gege should be determined.

When the news of my birthday gift gets out, there won’t be any misunderstanding.

A small test made Yinreng's favor for Wanyu, his destined person, doubled!

Without waiting for Wanyu to say anything, Shi Liha couldn't wait to praise his sister.

"Sir, you are right. Third sister is the smartest little princess in our family."

"I, Mafa, often lament in front of my brothers that my third sister isn't a man. Otherwise, she would have made great contributions to our family in the future!"

When he said this, his face showed both pride and amusement.

"None of us brothers and sisters can compare to our third sister!"

Amur also nodded in agreement.

When she was a child, she often lived in Guwaljia Prefecture and had a good relationship with the sisters Wanlin and Wanyu who were of the same age.

Therefore, we have some understanding of the qualifications of brothers and sisters of this generation.

The intelligence of the two sisters Wanyu and Wanlin is definitely the best among the Guwaljia family of this generation.

However, compared to her sister Wanlin's rigid and stubborn rules, her sister Wanyu is more open-minded and free-spirited.

Amur thought that it might be due to the different pursuits of the two people.

After all, whether it was the opinion of the Guwaljia tribe or the palace, Wanlin was one of the strong candidates for the Crown Princess.

It is understandable that she sets higher and stricter standards for herself.

Her future parents-in-law didn't have too many expectations for Wanyu, so they raised her to be naive and romantic.
