Can you give me a gift and I give you one?

Prince An's Mansion
Having been very busy lately, Xu Heming finally managed to find time to return to the Prince's Mansion and visit the old lady he hadn't seen for several days.
However, as soon as I stepped into the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, I saw that the mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and even red silk ribbons were hung up.
This made Xu Heming wonder if he had gone to the wrong place.
"Your Highness, you're finally back!" Liu Ming excitedly rushed forward to greet Xu Heming when he saw him return.
Recently, with the young master absent from the manor, everyone feels that it has become much quieter.
"Steward Liu, what's going on in this mansion?" Xu Heming asked, frowning.
His eyes were filled with dislike for these outdated things.
He was also wondering to himself, could it be that his mother felt that Qing Shi was too lonely without being at home, so she thought of decorating to be more festive?
"Your Highness, today is the old princess's birthday. Miss Biao said that we should dress up in a festive and pleasing way," Liu Ming said with a smile.
"What cousin?" Xu Heming frowned, unable to understand for a moment where a cousin would come from in the manor.
“Your Highness, you’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t had a chance to tell you. Ever since the young prince went to Li’an County with the princess, the old princess has felt much lonelier. It just so happens that Miss Biao was visiting the old princess in the capital. The old princess saw that Miss Biao was well-behaved, so she kept her here,” Liu Ming explained with a smile.
Xu Heming then realized that he had been so busy with official duties that he had completely forgotten about the old princess's birthday.
Thinking back, I realized that I had returned in such a hurry that I hadn't even prepared a gift.
“I understand. Is Mother at Ci'an Hall now?” Xu Heming asked.
“Of course they are. The old princess and Miss Biao haven’t eaten yet. If you go now, you can still make it in time,” Liu Ming said with a smile.
"Aunt, happy birthday! May you have many more birthdays to come!"
As soon as Xu Heming arrived outside Ci'an Hall, he heard a charming female voice.
"Good! I'm very happy to have Qiao Shu with me today."
The old princess's hearty laughter rang out.
Xu Heming was stunned. How long had it been since he had heard his mother laugh so happily?
Thinking of this, Xu Heming felt a bit more grateful to his cousin.
"The Prince is back!" The sharp-eyed Granny Luo called out as soon as she saw Xu Heming step into the courtyard.
"Hmph, he still knows how to come back. He might as well have died out there." The old princess thought to herself, she was all alone in this mansion, the older children were nowhere to be seen, and the younger ones were not in the mansion either, leaving her, a lonely old woman.
Originally, he thought that with his daughter-in-law soon entering the household, he would finally have a good life.
Unexpectedly, before his daughter-in-law even entered the house, she had already kidnapped his grandson.
Thinking of this, the old princess also felt a little uneasy.
"Mother, please forgive me. I didn't mean to come back at this time. I've just been busy with official duties lately," Xu Heming quickly apologized to the old princess.
