The two maids were working and chatting in the yard, and Jun Shutong was sweating profusely in the space.
Since the space was upgraded, she not only transplanted fruits, vegetables, trees, flowers and plants into it, but also secretly put a few chicks in today.
Jun Shutong had just gone to see the fragrant grass, which was growing well. He watered it and squatted on the grass to watch the chicks eating.
Seeing that animals and plants can survive well in the space, Jun Shutong really wants to catch someone to bring in and try it out. She struggled for a long time, but reason finally overcame impulse and she suppressed the idea.
It doesn’t matter if the plants die, but if a person gets stuck in her space, she won’t be able to explain herself even if she has a mouth full of words.
She had thought about trying to capture an assassin, but she felt nauseous at the thought of those men dying in her own space.
The longer the body of the man in black who had tried to assassinate her stayed in the space, the more she felt uncomfortable.
As for the ghost of the Japanese man who possessed the emperor, she had destroyed him early on. No unclean thing could ever enter her space.
Now the space is like a small world, and she cherishes it very much. Even if her body does not enter it every day, her spiritual consciousness will come in to take a look around.
Even if she did nothing and just walked around inside, she would feel extremely satisfied.
Jun Shutong would occasionally secretly add some of the fruits and vegetables grown in the space to the big kitchen so that everyone in the mansion could eat them.
She also built a simple shelf in the space and put all the harvested fruits and vegetables together. Jun Shutong had observed long ago that as long as the picked fruits and vegetables were not taken out, they would not deteriorate in a short period of time and would remain in the same freshly picked state for a long time, and would be very fresh.
She was afraid that taking out too much would arouse suspicion, so she decided to put it all in the space. She always felt that putting it in the space would be of great use in the future. As for why, she herself didn't know, it was just an intuition, similar to the legendary sixth sense.
Three days passed quickly, and Jun Shutong welcomed her sixth birthday party.
As expected, early in the morning, the ministers of the court followed Emperor Shunde and came to the Duke's Mansion one after another.
The last time the Jun family was so lively was five years ago. Old Master Jun and Jun Wansheng expressed the Jun family's gratitude at the table respectively, and everyone began to toast each other.
As a child and the protagonist of the birthday, Jun Shutong ate and drank his fill, went to greet Emperor Shunde, and then hid in the inner courtyard with his maid to open the gifts.
Opening gifts is something that every girl is keen on, and Jun Shutong is no exception.
She still remembered how much she loved the gifts on her first birthday.
Liking something doesn't mean you have to take it apart yourself. It won't be too late for her to come and take a look after the maid has taken it apart and put it away.
"Hiss...Miss, come and see."
Xia Xue exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah, why are all these gifts the same?"
Hearing the two maids' exclamations, Jun Shutong immediately got down from the recliner.
"Everything is the same..."
Before he could finish asking, Jun Shutong was surprised by the gift on the table.
The gift boxes were neatly arranged on the table. Each box contained different quantities of crystals of various colors. The crystals emitted a charming luster under the light.
A rough estimate shows that there are at least five or six hundred crystals in the box.
"Cake seller, why are they all crystals?"
"Did they discuss this?"
No, the last time they were asked to donate so many crystals was when the Turks invaded. The emperor coerced and lured the ministers into donating some crystals.
It's just a birthday, why are they willing to spend so much money?
Looking at the table full of crystals, Jun Shutong's smile faded and her expression became serious. She smelled a conspiracy.
[Host... Host, am I seeing correctly? These are all crystals? ]
The system was so excited that the energy waves began to shake again.
After two major upgrades for no reason, the system was a little bit arrogant. Looking at the table full of crystals, it would be a lie to say that it was not excited.
Jun Shutong was also moved, but reason eventually overcame rationality. She had to consider the emperor's intentions and what exactly could have convinced Emperor Shunde to spend so much money.
There was no war going on, no major case requiring her help, and no foreign envoys coming to visit. She really couldn't figure out why the emperor was making such a big fuss.
No, after the banquet is over, she must find the emperor to ask for clarification, otherwise she will not be able to sleep or eat with so many crystals.
"Miss, why are all the people giving crystals? Did they discuss this?"
"Yeah, this is too weird!"
The two maids knew that the young lady liked crystals and was in great need of them, but it was unbelievable that everyone gave the same gift.
Jun Shutong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"Put it away first, and I'll talk about it after I figure it out."
"Yes, miss."
The two maids did not dare to delay and carefully put all the boxes away intact, fearing that something might go wrong in any link.
After waiting for the banquet to end, Jun Shutong seized the opportunity and stopped Emperor Shunde before he left. Without further ado, she asked directly:
"May I ask, Your Majesty, why are all the birthday gifts this year made of crystals?"
"If you say it's a coincidence, I don't believe it. If Your Majesty doesn't give me an explanation, I won't dare accept this gift. I will ask my mother to return them one by one."
Seeing her so straightforward, Emperor Shunde simply sat back down and said with a smile:
"Haha, Jun girl is still so straightforward and casual, not hiding anything at all, that's great."
Jun Shutong rolled his eyes inwardly: [So much nonsense! If you have something to say, get to the point! The chicks are still waiting for me to feed them!]
