"Princess, there is someone at the door asking to see you. They say it is your aunt's family."

Hearing this, Princess Ding'an sat up straight.

"Call them in."

Princess Ding'an went to the hall.

An old man about fifty years old, dressed simply and with white hair.

"I have met the princess. I was ordered by Master Shao to deliver a Mid-Autumn Festival gift to the princess. However, I encountered something on the way, so I was delayed for a few days."

Princess Ding'an's aunt's surname is Shao, and she is the eldest daughter of the Shao family. Over the years, many members of the Shao family have died, been injured, or been sent abroad. Now, Old Master Shao lives in Chu, and he sends people to bring gifts to Princess Ding'an every year.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way."

Princess Ding'an said with a smile.

"Come here, treat this old man well."

"Yes."

Soon, someone asked the old man to go downstairs and have a rest.

The kitchen brought over hot meals, three dishes and one soup, two meat dishes, one side dish and a soup, and a bottle of wine.

"Big brother, you have worked hard along the way."

"Where are the people who followed me?" the old man asked the manager with a smile.

"They have arranged to eat somewhere else. Since you are the steward, you should eat with a steward like me."

"Thank you."

The steward greeted the old man with a smile, and soon brought him a bowl of cold beef, as well as braised pork and beef dumplings.

"Big Brother, take another sip."

"drink."

After a while, the old man got drunk and the manager started asking questions.

"Big Brother, did you encounter any danger along the way?"

"It's not dangerous, we are following the escort agency."

"This escort agency is very famous. Those bandits dare not mess with it."

"Your master asked you to send a Mid-Autumn Festival gift to the princess. Did he also bring a message to the princess?"

"Bring a message? No." The old man shook his head and said with a smile.

"Really? Did you write a letter?"

"No, the things that the old man sent are all there."

But he asked a lot of questions and didn't get any results.

When the old man drank too much and lay down on the table, the man observed him for a while and shouted a few more times. The old man lay on the table and snored.

Seeing the old man's appearance, the manager put aside his suspicion, sent someone to guard outside the door, and left.

"You guys keep watch over him, and when he wakes up, take him to a place to rest."

"Yes."

The manager didn't see it. After he said this, the old man opened his eyes, then closed them again and continued snoring.

The steward went to another courtyard and reported what had just happened in detail.

The people in charge of the warehouse put all the things sent by the Shao family into the warehouse, and they also checked them carefully when they were put into the warehouse.

“There is nothing wrong with the things the Shao family sent.”

The news was quickly delivered to the palace by people sent by the emperor to Princess Ding'an's mansion.

In recent years, the Shao family would send some gifts every Mid-Autumn Festival and other festivals. Although the gifts were not very expensive, for the Shao family, they were the best things they could give.

Princess Ding'an had a fiefdom, and she donated the income from this fiefdom to the national treasury several times.

Nowadays, the people in the two counties under the name of Princess Ding'an are still living a good life.

Princess Ding'an sneered as she listened to her subordinates talking about these things. She used to really think that the emperor's uncle was a very good person, but when she grew up, she realized that the emperor's uncle was not worthy of being compared with her father.
