The voice of Gua66 popped into Shi Yu's mind.
[Yu Yu, Yu Yu, your idea is brilliant!]
[With evil spirits protected by the jade pendant, the entire court of officials would not be affected by the black aura.]
[This way, the ministers of Emperor Tai'an can be properly protected.]
【Yuyu, you've really done a tremendous good deed.】
Shi Yu was quite satisfied with Gua66's praise.
Her delicate chin was perked up high.
I also think I'm very smart.
This will prevent the situation from happening again, just like last time.
[This makes my midnight trip to the forbidden area to catch evil spirits worthwhile.]
Hehehe...
The items are ready; I'll have someone pack them up right away.
Good things need a good box.
After Shi Yu finished speaking, she happily ran out to have someone come and put the jade pendant in place.
Breakfast had just ended, and the people at Princess Xianhe's residence were still busy when a servant came to report.
"Madam, Madam, we have a guest."
"What? We have guests?" He Qiuniang was startled.
"Why are there guests so early?"
"Madam, there's more than one guest here," the servant continued.
He Qiuniang was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.
"Ya Ya, let's go, let's quickly arrange for people to go out and greet her."
Soon, the main gate of Princess Xianhe's residence became lively.
Officials, accompanied by their families, lined up at the main gate of Princess Xianhe's residence.
There are so many people here.
The two brothers, Shi Chengjun and Shi Chengxiu, were pulled out to greet the guests.
Seeing the packed crowd, Shi Chengjun couldn't help but sigh in Shi Chengxiu's ear.
"Brother, could it be that all the officials in the capital have come?"
Shi Chengxiu glanced calmly at the endless line in the distance, then nodded with pursed lips.
"I'm afraid so."
"You know Yu Yu's abilities."
"She sent invitations to all the civil and military officials in the capital."
"If anyone doesn't come, it's not impossible that they'll end up with their family ruined by gossip."
“That’s true, hehe~” Shi Chengjun nodded in agreement.
Looks like we're in for a busy day.
The two sighed and quickly joined the queue to greet the guests.
Shi Yu set up a small stool to the side.
She even had her older brother write her a note.
Gift receiving area.
When the officials who came to celebrate Shi Yu's first birthday saw Shi Yu come out, they immediately brought gifts to present to her.
“Princess Shengping, this is a gift for you.”
"A solid golden pig, please accept it."
Golden Pig?
When the box was opened, the brilliance of the gold was dazzling.
Shi Yu's dark, beautiful eyes lit up immediately.
She really liked the pig made of gold.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad, I like it very much." Shi Yu happily stretched out her little hands and hugged the golden pig.
The official was shrewd; his gaze shifted and landed on the gift box next to Shi Yu.
Last time the return gift was ginseng, this time the return gift should be even more impressive.
Seeing that Shi Yu was still immersed in the joy of the golden pig, the official coughed to remind him.
"Cough cough..."
"Your Highness, is there something you've forgotten?"
"Forgot what? Forgot what?" Shi Yu asked.
"A return gift," the official said somewhat embarrassedly, fiddling with his fingers.
"When your dog got married and moved last time, we received a return gift."
As the official spoke, he glanced blushingly at the exquisite box next to Shi Yu.
Shi Yu then realized that she still hadn't given a return gift.
It's all because the minister's gift was so to her liking that she almost forgot about giving a return gift.
"Oh, there's a return gift," Shi Yu said, tapping her little head.
"It's right next to you, take it yourself."
"Only one per family."
The official immediately expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Princess, thank you, Princess."
The official quickly grabbed a box and excitedly went to the side to open it.
Upon opening it, I was surprised to find that it was a jade pendant identical to those worn by royalty.
There was also a small wisp of malevolent energy spreading out inside the jade pendant, which looked rather adorable.
The official standing nearby saw the man's lewd smile and immediately went over to investigate.
This is incredible!
It turns out to be a jade pendant containing evil spirits, a royal-style pendant, certified by blood, and guaranteed to protect you in times of crisis.
Immediately, the civil and military officials who were lining up to present their congratulatory gifts were thrilled.
They immediately carried their gifts and ran towards Shi Yu's small table.
"Princess, Princess, please accept my gift, my gift."
“Princess, I adore you the most. This gift was specially made just for you.”
"Princess, take mine, mine."
...
The ministers were excited. Although they rushed over in a swarm, they still lined up in a queue.
Although they were excited, they dared not act rashly.
With Shi Yu's temper, she's so grumpy. If you offend her even a little, you'll never have a good ending.
They wouldn't be that stupid.
In any case, Shi Yu always treats everyone equally, regardless of friend or foe. As long as they can please her, they will definitely receive a return gift.
Didn't you see the pile next to her?
"Everyone, don't rush, don't get excited, come one by one, everyone will get a share."
Shi Yu stood up and spoke with the composure of a little adult.
But a smile had already crept onto her lips.
