77. May your blessings be long-lasting.
“Then it seems my title was indeed correct,” Wei Xiuming laughed. “Interesting.”
He rose and wrote: "Someone, make this into a plaque and send it to the residence of the Marquis of Beiding. Tell them it is a gift from me to that little lucky star."
It is the four characters "福泽绵长" (meaning "blessings lasting forever").

In the palace of the Virtuous Consort.
"Mother!" The little princess ran into the palace, her face flushed with excitement. "Have you heard? Everyone says Little Moon is a lucky star!"
Consort Xian concealed the deep worry on her face, replaced it with a gentle smile, and embraced her daughter: "Tell me slowly, what lucky star?"
"It's Lord Xie's eyes!" the little princess exclaimed, gesturing excitedly. "The imperial physicians all said they couldn't cure him, but as soon as Little Moon went there, he was able to see again!"
Consort Xian was taken aback and looked at the palace maid beside her.
As the palace maid recounted the events and the little princess chimed in with her own words, she pieced together the truth of the matter.
She was incredulous: "This...this girl is really lucky."
The little princess blinked: "Mother, may I invite Little Moon to come to the palace to play?"
Consort Xian gently stroked her daughter's cheek: "Alright, Mother will send out the invitations right away..."
She paused, then suddenly hugged her daughter tightly.
"Mother?" the little princess asked, puzzled.
Consort Xian forced back the tears in her eyes: "Chaoyun, from now on you must be obedient, listen to your father, and not be spoiled or willful. You must cultivate a good relationship with Princess Fukang..."
If Jin Lanyue is truly a lucky star, then please let her protect your daughter.
"Mother, don't worry, Little Moon and I are good friends," the little princess, despite her usually carefree nature, sensed the unease. "Mother, what's wrong?"
"Mother is fine." Consort Xian released her and shook her head. "Chaoyun, go play."
"Oh..." The little princess left, turning back every few steps.
-
Chonghua Palace.
The young prince sat alone on the stone steps, holding a wilted flower in his hand.
"Your Highness," the old eunuch approached cautiously, "it's time for your meal."
"Just leave it," the young prince said in a muffled voice, then suddenly looked up. "Do you think... Little Moon is really a lucky star?"
The old eunuch quickly bowed: "This old servant has heard that Lord Xie's eyes were indeed healed overnight. Everyone in the Marquis of Beiding's family says so..."
"That's good." The little prince suddenly interrupted him, a smile finally appearing on his tense little face. "This way... this way, what Mother Consort did can be made up for a little."
He clenched his small fist, his voice barely audible: "Thank goodness she's alright..."
-
The residence of the Marquis of Beiding.
Jin Lanyue, holding a pile of gifts, asked with sparkling eyes, "Mother, are all these for Yue'er?"
The good name of the lucky star spread throughout the capital once again, and everyone was unable to contain their curiosity about this little lucky baby, so they all presented gifts in hopes of meeting him.
Even if we can't see them, it's good to absorb some of their good fortune. What if it helps them turn bad luck into good?
"Yes, Yue'er, would you like to open it and take a look?" Jiang Xiyue pinched her daughter's soft and chubby little face. The pink and tender little baby was even cuter than the chubby baby in the New Year's painting, making people feel lovable just by looking at her.
"Yay~" The little dumpling happily started unwrapping the gifts, muttering, "Cakes, candies, flowers, so delicious..."
One was demolished.
It is a pen made of gold.
The little dumpling's heart pounded as soon as she saw the pen, and she covered her head with her little hands: "Don't do homework, no, no..."
The little dumpling pouted and opened the second one.
It's a high-grade jadeite bangle, so clear it's almost transparent.
The little dumpling picked up the bracelet with both of her tiny hands. It was a pale color, not the kind of bracelet a child would like: "Moon likes red now! It's not pretty without color!"
She put down the bracelet and began to disassemble the third one.
It was a stack of precious Xuan paper.
"Ouch—Moon, don't do your homework!" The little dumpling stood up in terror, too scared to open the box anymore.
She hugged her mother's leg tightly, her little face scrunched up: "Mother, I'm scared of these things, I don't want them."
Jiang Xiyue couldn't help but laugh: "Silly child, this is all from everyone's heartfelt wishes."
"But Yue'er doesn't want to do her homework..." The little dumpling lowered her head, "And... Yue'er wants to thank Brother Xie nicely..."
The old man called "Imperial Physician" said that although Brother Xie could see, his body was still very weak.
She asked her mother what "weak" meant, and her mother said it meant feeling unwell.
It's very uncomfortable to be feeling unwell, and the little dumpling felt bad too.
But how could she help Brother Xie?
The little dumpling asked the system aunt in its mind: "Auntie, how can Brother Xie stop feeling uncomfortable?"
[Host requirement detected.]
[Recommended for the host: Body Strengthening Pill.]
The Body Strengthening Pill has appeared; the host can obtain it by completing the task.
[Please complete the task as soon as possible.]
The little dumpling understood and remembered.
The system gave her a task that she hasn't completed yet.
In other words, as long as she completes this task, she can fully restore Brother Xie!
The little dumpling was motivated again.
But soon I felt lost again.
So... how is she going to accomplish this?
It always feels so difficult...
Please wait patiently for your opportunity.
"Oh..." The little dumpling nodded as if it understood.
The system told her to wait, so she waited.
Jiang Xiyue looked at her daughter and was about to speak when the steward rushed over: "Madam! The palace has sent another reward! This time it's a plaque personally bestowed by His Majesty!"
Second brother jumped out from under the eaves: "Little sister! You're now the most famous little lucky star in the capital!"
Jin Qizhi also came out: "Even His Majesty sent a generous gift, so my sister's reputation as a lucky star is well-deserved."
The little dumpling's face was flushed as she excitedly exclaimed, "Yay! Right, where is Brother Xie?"
The second brother scratched his head: "Didn't His Majesty bestow a house upon him? I think I just saw him moving things over there."
"What?" The little girl was startled and looked aggrieved. "Brother Xie is leaving Yue'er behind..."
She lowered her head to wipe away her tears, and Jin Qizhi, seeing this, slapped her second brother: "Don't tell everyone everything all the time."
Jiang Xiyue quickly picked her up and comforted her, "It's alright, Yue'er. Mother will take you to find Brother-in-law Xie and let him stay for a while longer."
"Really? Really?" The little dumpling asked, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Really!" Jiang Xiyue nodded emphatically, then turned to ask the servant, "Where is Brother-in-law Xie now?"
The servant replied, "They went to their own residence."
The little dumpling cried sadly, "Wow... Brother Xie really left!"
