Today is the emperor's birthday, and all the officials have come to celebrate with him.
Fubao also knelt on the ground and said auspicious words respectfully.
When it came to the gift-giving session, everyone presented their carefully prepared gifts one by one.
Rare treasures, letters and scrolls, each one is of great value.
When it was Fubao's turn, everyone looked at her.
"Fubao, what gift do you want to give me?"
The emperor was very curious. This was the first time Fubao gave him a gift, and he was looking forward to it.
"Fubao's gifts are different from theirs!"
Fubao felt that the gift she gave was unique, and no one else had thought of giving such a good gift.
"Someone, bring the gifts!"
As the servants brought in the cage and saw the white rabbit inside, everyone fell silent for a moment.
It is indeed quite different. No one would dare to give such a common gift to the emperor.
"Is this the gift you gave me?"
The emperor looked at the rabbit. Does this rabbit have any special meaning?
Or is this actually a fairy rabbit?
"Yes, this is the gift that Fubao gave to the Emperor. Because I don't know whether the Emperor likes it braised or stir-fried, I didn't have anyone prepare it. The Emperor can kill it whenever he wants to eat it."
So, what she actually sent was a dish.
"Why did you give me a rabbit?"
The emperor felt a little dizzy. He had never received such a gift in his life.
"The rabbit is fat and the meat is delicious."
Fubao licked her lips and asked, "If the emperor is willing, can she have some rabbit meat?"
This time, the emperor finally gave up, so the gift Fubao gave was so practical.
Rabbit, no, it's rabbit meat.
"Did you raise this rabbit yourself?"
The emperor still wanted to find some differences.
"Yes, it's the rabbit that Fubao raised himself."
The little girl worried every day that the rabbits were growing slowly, and she actually fed them a lot with her own hands.
"Okay, okay, take him away and take good care of him."
The emperor was satisfied. The rabbits raised by Fubao himself were completely different from ordinary rabbits.
"I am very pleased with Fubao's gift. Come, give me a reward..."
Everyone watched as Fubao used a rabbit to win the emperor's favor and a lot of other things in return.
Fubao was also very happy. The emperor was so generous and happy.
Amidst the joyous palace banquet, it is also a good day for a blind date.
The young ladies went up to perform one by one, and someone set their sights on their house.
"Madam Wang, Mr. Gu San is now of marriageable age. Has he found a girl yet?"
After Gu Jinbang got married, those with daughters in their families set their sights on the third son, Gu Jinding.
Although Gu Jinding had no official title, he lived in the Imperial Master's Mansion, had an older brother above him and younger brothers and sisters below him, and his life was pretty good.
What's more, the Gu family tradition is to marry only one wife, so this condition is really great.
"Not yet, but there's no rush. My third son is a man of his own ideas. He makes his own decisions about his marriage. As his mother, I have no say in this matter."
Wang Yanran made excuses to refuse, but those ladies were unwilling to give up this opportunity.
"Although they are the ones who will live their lives, and they have to be happy with each other before we can have a chance to see each other, as elders, it's definitely right for us to have a look first. Madam Wang, my daughter..."
Wang Yanran was overwhelmed. At first she would agree with others, but later she became expressionless.
No matter what, she would not let her son's marriage be manipulated by others.
After returning from the palace banquet, Wang Yanran sighed.
"These ladies are really good at clinging to people."
Princess Jiayi smiled and said, "For the sake of my own daughter, I can understand them."
If I can marry into the Gu family, my life will definitely be better in the future.
Just look at her and Qin Rujing and you will know that there is no mother-in-law to bother them, no bullshit family rules, they are the only husbands who protect them, and they have a younger sister who is rich and can bring blessings. Their life is simply a paradise on earth.
"I never knew my third child could be so popular."
Wang Yanran sighed. After all, in the Shangshu Mansion, the third brother was the typical man that no young lady in the capital was willing to marry.
"If my third brother knew about this, he might not dare to return to the capital."
Princess Jiayi chuckled. Although Gu Jinding usually acted nonsensical, he was still very shy about things like this.
"Then find a wife outside. I don't know if he dares to do that, but I don't want to be bothered by those ladies."
Wang Yanran held her forehead with her hand.
But in fact, not only Gu Jinding was targeted, but Gu Jinguo was also targeted.
A few days later, someone else came to the house to propose marriage.
It was Prince Rong’s Mansion who came to propose marriage.
"The princess is thirteen, and her age matches that of the fourth young master."
The matchmaker kept praising the princess for her beauty and how well-matched she was with Gu Jinguo, as if it would be a loss if they didn't get married.
"My Jin Kingdom doesn't want to get married at this time!"
Wang Yanran declined politely. She really didn't want to interfere in her sons' marriages or the women they liked.
When they had a woman they liked, they would bring her back and tell her about it, and she would accept it.
As long as her sons are doing well, she is satisfied.
She didn't want to go through the trouble of choosing wives for her sons, only to end up with discord between the couples, which would be unpleasant.
"Madam Wang, there aren't many good women like Princess Hua. To be frank, it's a blessing for the Gu family that Princess Hua has fallen in love with them.
If you refuse, you will lose face for Prince Rong's Mansion."
Her words were threatening, and Wang Yanran felt very uncomfortable.
"Oh, the reputation of Prince Rong's Mansion is really great, and they can even allow people to force her to marry? If Princess Hua is such a person, then our Imperial Master's Mansion can't afford her."
Princess Jiayi is much more sharp than Wang Yanran in handling matters between the powerful and the wealthy.
"I am the eldest princess of a country, but I don't have the same majesty as that Princess Hua. I want to see what Princess Hua is like and what kind of existence Prince Rong's Mansion is in Nanzhao."
When Tang the matchmaker heard this, she was immediately frightened.
"No, that's not what I meant."
Princess Jiayi didn't feel sorry for her. People like her always treated people differently based on their status and were the most annoying.
"What do you mean? I don't think you can solve this problem. How about this? You go tell Prince Rong, and tomorrow we will go to the Emperor and Empress to discuss this matter and see who is at fault."
Matchmaker Tang left dejectedly and when she returned to Prince Rong's Mansion, she was called over by Princess Hua.
"What? They actually humiliated me like this?"
Princess Hua's face was filled with anger.
"They should be secretly happy that I'm attracted to Gu Jinbang, but now they dare to treat me like this.
Humph, if you want to find the emperor, then go find the emperor. Why should I be afraid of them?"
When the princess heard that Tang the matchmaker was called away by her daughter, she followed over. Her face changed when she heard her daughter's words.
