In previous years, although His Majesty did not say it, he would keep an eye on it for several days until his vacation ended, and then lock it in his private treasury.
Several eunuchs carried in a large box and gently placed it in front of the desk.
Murong Yue couldn't wait to go over and open the box.
This was the first time she had ever received a gift in her memory, and she was very excited.
Beside him stood a young general, his face weathered and clad in armor, who pulled a letter from his robes. "This is from the general to His Majesty."
Ah Hao took the letter and passed it on to Murong Yue.

Murong Yue secretly swallowed.

"These are goose eggs. The general found them by chance when he was inspecting the border."
"There were more than twenty in total, and the general took half of them back."
The young general quickly explained.
