"Hahaha, this eunuch is so funny. Shouldn't he say 'this old slave has a girlish heart'..." Mu Li was amused and grinned at Eunuch Hai.
"She smiled, she smiled at me!" Eunuch Hai almost jumped up in excitement, "Quickly present the gift that His Majesty and His Majesty gave to the young lady!"
Upon hearing this, two young eunuchs came up with trays and lifted the red cloth. On one of the trays was a top-quality jade ruyi, and on the other tray was a pair of full gold bracelets that could be worn by children, a full gold longevity lock, and a pile of gold ingots, gold peanuts, gold leaves, gold bells and other items.
"Wow, this emperor and empress are so good that they gave me so much gold." Mu Li looked at the pile of gold with a money-grubber look on his face.
"His Majesty said that he hopes everything goes well for the little lucky star, and that he will be safe and happy!" Eunuch Hai said to everyone with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, for your reward! Please ask Eunuch Hai to thank Your Majesty for me when you return. I will bring Xiao Li'er to the palace to express my gratitude another day." The head of the Mu family said to Eunuch Hai.
"Your Excellency, Grand Tutor, you are too polite. I will definitely convey your message. Now that the gifts have been delivered, I will go back first. His Majesty is still waiting for me to report back!" Eunuch Hai bowed.
"Okay, then I won't keep you here, eunuch. Goodbye." He gestured to the butler to hand Eunuch Hai a sachet.
"Master Taifu, please stay. I will take my leave." Eunuch Hai pinched the sachet calmly, his smile becoming brighter.
Although there were not many people coming, they were all close relatives, and everyone had a smile on their face.
After sending off Eunuch Hai, Mu Li's third-day bathing ceremony officially began. After a series of complicated and tedious procedures, the midwife brought a basin of mugwort water and asked everyone to add some things with good meanings, such as golden and silver barley, red dates, longans, peanuts, etc., into the basin.
Then the midwife picked up Mu Li and washed her while chanting some auspicious words and blessings.
“Oh my God, it’s so embarrassing… Although I’m a baby now, but I’m naked and surrounded by so many people. My reputation is ruined by my third day bath… boohoo…” Mu Li closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.
"Haha, my sister is so cute!" Mu Jin said with a smile.
Everyone in the Mu family was laughing like crazy in their hearts and laughed along.
At this time, a series of tinkling sounds were heard. Mu Li opened her eyes and saw that a large basin had been brought in at some point. Relatives from both families were adding gold, silver and jade items into the basin with tinkling sounds. Soon the whole basin was full, and the midwife's auspicious words came one after another as if they were free.
"Wow, is this all for me? I'm rich, I'm rich..." Mu Li, who was dressed and held in his arms, was so happy that she went crazy. "Now it seems that the third day bath is not so shameful. Hehehe, I'm still a baby anyway, so I can't miss a piece of meat if I see it."
Everyone in the Mu Mansion burst into laughter...
