At the end of March, on the little princess’ hundredth day, it was the emperor’s nineteenth birthday, and also Su Fengyi’s nineteenth birthday.

Such a prosperous era should be celebrated by the whole world. At noon, the palace held a hundred-day banquet for the little princess and entertained all the officials.

As the birthday boy, the emperor celebrated his birthday in a new way this year. He asked all the ministers to stay in the palace to celebrate his birthday, and then he took Lu Hong and the imperial guards to the Western Hills to hunt.

Su Fengyi entered the palace to attend the palace banquet and went to the Zhenxia Pavilion first. Concubine Hui was holding the little princess and making her laugh.

The little princess was the emperor's first child. When she was just born, the emperor loved her very much and wanted to use all the power in the world to pamper her. He visited the little princess every day and even was overwhelmed by the choices of titles for her, which resulted in him being unable to decide on a title for her.

Later, the emperor's novelty wore off and he got the Concubine Chen. He indulged in having fun with her all day long and gradually came to the Zhenxia Pavilion less and less often. He also forgot about giving the little princess a title and didn't even give her a name.

After the emperor was assassinated in the Qianqing Palace some time ago, he avoided the numerous women in the harem and moved back to the Leopard House. He even forgot about giving the little princess a title and name.

When the emperor came, Concubine Hui was not very happy, and when the emperor did not come, Concubine Hui was not very sad.

When Concubine Chen came to pay her respects to the emperor every day on the emperor's orders, Concubine Hui did not make things difficult for her. She treated her with good tea and water every day. She also guessed the emperor's thoughts and stipulated that concubines above the rank of beauty must come to pay their respects every day.

This way, the Concubine Chen can be shown openly to everyone, thus satisfying the Emperor's intention to go against the court officials.

After the Emperor sent Concubine Chen away and no longer set foot in the harem, Concubine Hui became happy and at ease. She cancelled the rule of paying respects every day and focused all her attention on the little princess.

In short, for Concubine Hui, since the death of Qiao Gui, as long as she did not treat the emperor as her husband, but only as the emperor, as the boss, and as the master, her life would be pretty good.

The little princess is only three months old, but she already has a stable personality. She likes to open her big eyes and observe her surroundings, but she doesn’t like to cry, laugh much, or be afraid of strangers.

When Concubine Hui was trying to make the little princess laugh, the little princess had a serious expression and looked like she didn't want to laugh at all. But when she saw Su Fengyi coming in, she suddenly giggled and reached out to Su Fengyi for a hug.

Concubine Hui was surprised:

"You're happy to see your aunt, right?"

Su Fengyi took the little princess and held her up high with a smile. The little princess laughed even louder, waving her little hands, kicking her little feet, giggling, burping, and spitting out a bubble of milk.

Su Fengyi quickly held her and sat her down, then took out a handkerchief from her pouch and wiped the milk stains from the corner of her mouth.

Concubine Hui looked at Su Fengyi's purse and said with a smile:

"Your Highness, have you changed your purse? This phoenix perched on the sycamore tree is so beautifully embroidered, the phoenix looks like it's alive."

Su Fengyi hummed:

"A new birthday gift this year."

Concubine Hui took out a box and said helplessly:

"I don't know who is so destined to be with me. I have the same idea as you. I have also embroidered a purse to wish Your Highness a long life.

It's just that my craftsmanship is really not comparable to yours, so I'm embarrassed to bring it out. Forget about it for now, and I'll make up another birthday gift for Your Highness later."

Su Fengyi handed the little princess to the nurse beside her and snatched the box from Concubine Hui with a smile:

"There's no reason to take back a gift that has been given. Show me your craftsmanship. Not bad, not bad. I like it very much."

There was indeed a purse in the box, embroidered with a "Phoenix Flying to the Nine Heavens". Although its craftsmanship was not as good as Xu Yao's "Phoenix Perching on the Wutong Tree", it was much better than Su Fengyi's own craftsmanship.

Su Fengyi happily accepted the gift and after attending the palace banquet, she rode back home on horseback. However, when she was two blocks away from the Princess's Mansion, she found that the road was blocked by a long line of carriages.

I don't know which family chose the emperor's birthday to host such a grand banquet.

Su Feng had no choice but to dismount and lead the little white dragon to move left and right through the narrow gap, passing one carriage after another, and finally found the source of the traffic jam, which was her Princess Mansion.

Dangui Wutong and others, who should have been concentrating on reading sage books and preparing for the palace examination, were actually welcoming guests at the door.

Su Fengyi led the horse over, and Wutong immediately came forward to help her lead the horse into the mansion.

It was not convenient to ask at the door just now, but now that she had entered the mansion, Su Fengyi asked Wutong:

"What's going on? I didn't invite any guests to my house today, so where did all these people come from? But those who want to see me, let them all go back. I won't see you, so why are you blocking the street?"

Wutong was busy entertaining guests just now and was almost going crazy. He said:

"No, Your Highness. These are just people who are sending gifts. They didn't ask to see you. They just left after giving their gifts. The streets are really blocked because there are too many people. In previous years, when Your Highness was celebrating his eternity, there weren't so many people sending gifts. I don't know why so many people came this year."

How many people come?

By the evening, Su Fengyi had washed up and was ready to rest, looking haggard. Bai Guo, who had been working in the warehouse all day and had not even had a bite of food, finally had time to hand in the list of gifts received that day.

Su Fengyi casually flipped through the thick gift list and felt that all the officials above the fifth rank in Beijing had come to give gifts today.

Looking closely, it happened to be those officials who had been imprisoned in the Jinyiwei prison, as well as the ministers who had participated in carrying the coffin and kneeling to make remonstrations, and even the Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu, Lord Luo, had specially sent people to give her a gift.
