At this time, two eunuchs in blue came over, and the young eunuch behind them was holding a box. He stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has prepared a small gift for Elder Prime Minister Liu."

The two eunuchs were not in a hurry to hand the gifts to the butler. They stood at the door and said that they would personally hand the things over to the old prime minister.

After a while, Elder Prime Minister Liu came out and said to the young eunuch, "Thank you for making this trip, Your Highness. Your Highness is truly thoughtful. I thank Your Highness on behalf of this old minister."

"Your Highness is still under house arrest and cannot wish you a happy birthday in person. This is just a small gift and is not a token of my respect." The young eunuch opened the box. Inside was a tall herb with a stem of flowers on top of circles of leaves. The flower buds were stacked like a pagoda.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to bring a message to the old Prime Minister. I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."

A Rao whispered, "This is the Nine-Tower Building in our southern border. Judging from its size, it must be a hundred years old."

Ye Wanqing immediately understood and also clasped his fists in congratulations, saying, "I also wish the Prime Minister a prosperous and glorious future."

Prime Minister Liu stared at the tall nine-towered building in astonishment, slightly shocked for a moment, then burst into laughter and said, "Great, a great nine-towered building, a great Nine Cauldrons, a resounding light and flame! This gift from Prince Shen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very much appreciated. Please quickly invite Prince to take a seat!"

Today is the poetry banquet at the Liu Mansion. Everyone comes here to show off their elegance and to please others with their writing and painting skills, but they all forget that today is also the old prime minister's birthday, so no one comes to congratulate him seriously.

The gift from Murong Yan, coupled with Ye Wanqing's words, instantly gained Prime Minister Liu's favor.

Lord Liu, who had always looked down on the Wuhou family, treated her as a guest of honor.
