Kangxi's birthday is approaching, and Manhua lives in the palace and also participates in Kangxi's birthday banquet.

Manhua then instructed Qiu He and Qiu Feng: "You two quickly help me think about what headdress to put on my flag head when the time comes, and what new tricks will I make in the cheongsam." ”

Manhua only thought about pretending to be beautiful, but Concubine Yi summoned her to the front and had something to say to her.

Concubine Yi reminded Manhua: "Manhua, the emperor's birthday is coming, and the emperor's relatives have prepared gifts to give to the emperor when he celebrates his birthday." When the time comes, you will also give gifts, and you have to think carefully about what gifts to give when the time comes! ”

"Concubine Yiniang, celebrate the emperor's birthday, Manhua will prepare gifts in advance!" Manhua to Concubine Yi.

"So this palace is relieved!" Concubine Yi nodded.

Manhua said to Qiu He: "I have some silver tickets in my hand, and when the time comes, you and Qiu Feng will help me go to Qianmen Street to buy one or two birthday gifts for the emperor!" ”

"Okay, Gege!" Autumn Lotus saluted and agreed.

After Qiu Feng knew about this, he came to see Manhua.

"Autumn Wind, is there something wrong with you?"

"Gege, the slave maid heard that many princesses made gifts for the emperor with their own hands! If you buy a gift for the emperor, I don't know what the emperor will think! ”

"How can I say that I am also an outsider, do I have to make a birthday gift for the emperor?" Manhua said depressedly.

Qiu Feng said: "Gege, you have entered the Forbidden City to live, do you still treat yourself as an outsider?" Also, you are the goddaughter of Concubine Yi, just like the emperor's princess! ”

Manhua listened to Qiu Feng's words, and he didn't know how to say it.

Qiu He also persuaded Manhua to make gifts with his own hands and buy them with another money.

What can Manhua do, he has to make a hand-warming sheath and stitch it.

Kangxi's birthday day came, Kangxi was in the Qianqing Palace, after accepting the congratulations of the court ministers, he would accept the congratulations of the clan, and then accept the concubines and princes and princesses in the harem to congratulate him on his birthday.

Concubine Tong Jia, who has the highest position in the harem, gave a gift of century-old ginseng. Then, the concubines who have positions in the harem give gifts respectively. Those elder brothers and princesses, one by one, gave gifts.

The Qianqing Palace is full of all kinds of gifts.

Concubine Yi flattered Kangxi: "Your Majesty, you received the gift today, and your hands are soft when you receive it."

Kangxi smiled happily: "Yes, I received the gift today, and I really received a soft hand." ”

Concubine Yi said again: "Your Majesty, Manhua Gege has also prepared a gift for your birthday!" ”

Kangxi looked up and saw that Manhua was still holding a gift in his hand and didn't give it away. So he smiled and said, "Manhua Gege also prepared a gift for me?" Look at what a gift! ”

Manhua carefully handed the gift to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, the birthday gift given to you by the slave is a handmade winter glove!" ”

Kangxi looked at the winter gloves made by Manhua and asked Manhua: "Manhua Gege, are you making these winter gloves yourself?" ”

"If the slave returns to the emperor, this winter glove is made by the slave himself!"

"Manhua Gege, you really have a heart, this gift is more precious than those precious gold and silver jewelry!" Kangxi said to Manhua.

The people present heard Kangxi praise Manhua in public, and they all had their own ideas.

Manhua was actually depressed in her heart, she was afraid that Kangxi would marry her to the eighth elder brother, and in that case, she would be crushed by the fourth elder brother!

Prince An knew that Manhua gave Kangxi the winter gloves he made himself, and he was very happy to be praised by Kangxi.

In the hall where the birthday banquet was held, Prince An quietly said to Manhua: "Living in the palace, you have to do everything possible to please the emperor!" Manhua, you did a good job! ”

Manhua then sat down depressed, facing the wine and food, and had no appetite to eat.

Manhua didn't know that the fourth elder brother was behind her, and looked at her from time to time. She looked at the curved and thin moon in the sky, sighed, and thought to herself what she had crossed over here for no apparent reason.
