Everyone was drinking tea and chatting in their seats, waiting for the arrival of the two important figures, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

The banquet reached its climax only when the emperor and the empress dowager arrived.

The banquet was proceeding slowly until it came to the gift-giving part.

A dozen or so princes first came forward with the gifts they had prepared in advance and knelt in two rows, congratulating

"Your son congratulates the emperor on his birthday, and wishes him a long life."

Then the eldest prince, as the emperor's eldest son, first looked at the prince with pride.

He quickly asked someone to open the cage covered with black cloth in front of him, and inside were two majestic Saker Falcons.

The emperor was delighted to see this and praised the eldest prince a few words, then let him sit down.

The prince was not angry when he saw that the eldest prince presented the gift before him. He just raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

The Crown Prince then calmly stepped out and said a few words of congratulations to the Emperor, then said, "Your Majesty, in your name, I have built many charity halls and opened porridge stalls in various places, and collected petitions from the people to express my best wishes to you."

The emperor happily accepted it and praised the prince for his kindness and virtue.

Afterwards, each prince presented gifts to the emperor one by one, and the emperor accepted them with a smile.

Then it was the princess' turn. The gift-giving part should have ended when a crisp little girl's voice came from the prince's seat, "Your Majesty, your granddaughter has also prepared a gift for you."

"Oh?" The emperor looked up at the prince's seat and found that it was his granddaughter, Forgochun. The emperor had always liked this granddaughter who had been smart and clever since she was a child.

He looked at his little granddaughter's delicate and lovely appearance and asked curiously, "Folgochun, what have you prepared for Huang Mafa?"

Everyone present was impressed by Fuerguochun's courage, and some even thought she was truly fearless. Some princes even believed that the crown prince must have taught the child to help him win favor, and they were puzzled why the crown prince didn't teach Hongxi, the prince of Yuqing Palace, but instead taught a princess.

In fact, a hint of surprise flashed across the prince's eyes at this moment, and he was very surprised. He had never known that his precious daughter had actually prepared a gift for the emperor. However, he knew that his daughter was always smart and sensible, so he didn't worry about anything.

Besides, even if a two-year-old girl did something wrong, no one would blame her.

Baoer was also surprised. She didn't know much about this daughter, only that she was very favored in the palace. She was smart, and seeing the prince's surprised look, she knew it was the child's own idea.

The girl standing in the middle had eyes as crystal clear as black jade, a small nose that matched her pink cheeks, and a sweet smile on her slightly upturned mouth, which made people love her.

The girl was also calm and composed when she saw the emperor asking questions. "Your Majesty, I heard that your birthday is coming soon. Thinking of your past love for me, I spent more than two months writing a picture of a hundred years of longevity for you. It is written in a hundred different fonts."

"My granddaughter originally wanted to write a longevity picture, but she is too young, so she can only write a hundred first. When she grows up a little bit, she will write another longevity picture for you. I hope Your Majesty will not mind if it is not well written."

"Today is your birthday. Your granddaughter wishes you to be as constant as the moon and as bright as the sun, and to be blessed with great fortune and a long life."

"Good, good, hahaha, what a good Forgochun!" The emperor laughed happily after hearing this.

At this moment, the emperor didn't want to care whether this was taught by the prince. He just felt very satisfied with his granddaughter.

Everyone present was impressed by Forgochun's performance, and they were worthy of being a royal child.

The emperor was so happy that he said loudly, "The Crown Prince's daughter, Fuerguochun, is gifted and intelligent, and her filial piety is commendable. She is hereby canonized as Princess Heshuo and given the title Zhaorui."

Normally, children would be very happy to hear this, but Forgochun was calm in his heart, but he kowtowed with joy and said, "Granddaughter thanks the Emperor for his grace."

When this decree came out, except for Bao'er's family and the prince who were happy for Fuluguochun, everyone else had mixed feelings.

Especially those princes who have daughters and sons, they all regret that they are not as smart as the prince, and think of using their children to compete for favor. They also lament why their own children are not smart. They are not as smart as the prince's daughter.

The Crown Princess was also extremely jealous, thinking about how in her previous life her daughter, the Crown Prince's legitimate daughter, was not favored by the Crown Prince and was only given the title of Princess when she married into Mongolia.

Then he sneered in his heart. What does it matter if he is favored now? After the crown prince is deposed, he will still be destined to marry off a foreign prince.

The Crown Princess once again felt fortunate that she had not given birth to a legitimate daughter in her lifetime, otherwise, if she had, she might have been destined to be married off as a foreign prince.

Once again, she made up her mind to divorce the Crown Prince and marry the Fourth Prince to become the Queen.

Everyone saw that after thanking him, Folguochun did not sit down. Instead, he looked at the emperor and said playfully, "Your Mafa, not only did Folguochun prepare a birthday gift for you today, but Uncle Jiu's sister Wulinzhu also prepared a birthday gift for you."

The emperor smiled and said, "Really?"

Fuerguochun said, "Of course, this is something that my granddaughter and Sister Wulinzhu have discussed. We won't tell anyone else. Only the two of us know about it."

"Haha, really?" The emperor said as he looked towards Bao'er's seat. He immediately saw the little girl who looked just like Bao'er, and his heart was immediately filled with love. This was Bao'er's daughter.

"I wonder what our little Wulinzhu has prepared for me, Guo Luomafa?"

Yuyan looked up at her mother and fathers, then calmly asked her maid to help her carry the gift covered with a red cloth.

Walk to the emperor and kneel before him, "Granddaughter pays respects to Guo Luomafa, and wishes Guo Luomafa peace, health, happiness and longevity."

"When I heard that Forgochun was secretly preparing a gift for you, I thought of preparing one for you too. I'm giving you a Western-style cream and fruit birthday cake. I asked my mother to teach me how to make it. I only told her that I was going to give it to Forgochun. It took me a long time to learn. I hope you like it, Guo Luomafa."

Hearing Yuyan say this, the emperor asked curiously, "Your mother and father don't know either?"

Yuyan said proudly, "Yes, I didn't tell anyone, mother or father."

The emperor looked doubtfully at the bewildered Bao'er and the confused Yin'er and others, confirming that they really didn't know.

Bao'er really didn't know. She always thought that Yuyan pestered her to learn how to make birthday cakes because she wanted to use it for Fuluguochun's birthday.

Baoer made it for Yuyan on her first birthday.

Later, Baoer made an identical one for Folgochun on her birthday.

Yuyan always thought that she had eaten it herself, so she wanted to make one for Fuluguochun to try.

When the princes heard this, they all glared at their own children fiercely, as if to say, "Look at them, and then look at you, you are no bigger than two two-year-olds."

I was crying in my heart, wondering why such a smart child was not my own.

As he said this, he asked the trembling maid beside him to put the gift on a table. After waving his hand for her to leave, he lifted the red cloth on the gift. Inside was a transparent glass cover with a huge cake inside.
