Putting everything else aside, all the civil and military officials would definitely be there for Ying Zheng's birthday, but now, apart from her and Consort Liang, no one else has been seen.

Ying Zheng said calmly, "I've sent them to handle their own affairs. It's just a birthday celebration; don't let it interfere with important matters. Besides, you're all enough. It's just a meal together."

The little guy's eyes lit up slightly.

Rice! Meat!

Consort Shu nodded. "Your Majesty is right. I have prepared some gifts for Your Majesty and hope you will like them."

After she finished speaking, she gave a wink, and Xiangqin quickly went downstairs. Several eunuchs then came up with a lot of gifts.

It contains century-old ginseng, mind-calming pearls, and top-quality jade, among other things.

Consort Shu also put in a lot of effort, introducing each person to Ying Zheng one by one.

These things didn't change Ying Zheng's expression much. After listening to her, he nodded and said, "You've put your heart into it."

Consort Shu curtsied, "I'm glad Your Majesty is pleased."

Consort Liang also said, "Your Majesty, I have also prepared a gift, but this room is a bit small, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to display it..."

She frowned as she looked around the palace, her expression somewhat troubled.

Knowing Liangfei's methods, Ying Zheng said directly, "Have them taken into the national treasury. Since they were carefully prepared, I will select a few that I like later."

Consort Liang's expression brightened slightly, "Yes!"

Then Ying Zheng looked down at the little one and asked, "Yu'er, what gift have you prepared for me?"

Both Consort Shu and Consort Liang were taken aback.

His Majesty would actually ask a little child for a gift?

Ying Ziyu was also taken aback, "Me?"

His gaze immediately became wary.

[Father, you wouldn't be after my gold lock, would you? I only have a few pieces of gold, Father, please don't do anything rash!]

Ying Zheng frowned. "No way, no way, there can't be a prince who doesn't even prepare a gift for his father's first birthday, can there?"

“You keep saying you miss your father, but who knows if you really do? You can’t even afford a gift now, so you’ll definitely not take care of him when he gets old. He’ll be left to grow old alone, without anyone to rely on, and there won’t even be anyone to mourn him when he passes away.”

[Why does this sound familiar?]
