Chapter 179 Preparing for Birthday Gifts
But obviously, Jinse's inner plan came to nothing.

Because the things given by the twelfth prince can only be regarded as quite satisfactory and have no special characteristics.

Jinse was worried about this matter, but it was useless to worry. She couldn't give a gift to the twelfth prince, so she could only comfort herself secretly. The twelfth prince was not taken seriously now, and there was no concubine to take care of him. , I can’t give you any special birthday gift, which is normal. I guess the emperor doesn’t care about anything.

The emperor really didn't care much. When accepting gifts from the twelfth prince, he treated them with the same attitude as accepting gifts from other people.

Seeing the emperor like this, Jinse didn't know whether he should feel relieved or not.

But fortunately, among the gifts from other princes this year, there are some that are precious, but none that are special and that would make the emperor happy at the sight of them.

In this way, it would naturally not appear that the twelfth prince's etiquette was not outstanding.

The emperor didn't know that Jinse had considered many things for the twelfth prince, but when Jinse went to serve tea in the imperial study, the emperor stopped her.

The emperor asked Jinse: "Seeing that the Wanshou Festival is coming in a few days, the courtiers have sent gifts. What gift are you going to give me then?"

Jinse was stunned, forgetting to speak for a long time, and his face was full of doubts.

Naturally, the Wanshou Festival happens every year. Jinse has been in the palace for several years, but she never remembers which year the Wanshou Festival was held. Do palace ladies like them still give gifts to the emperor?

She had never encountered such a thing before, so when the emperor asked her about it, she was a little confused.

Because she had never met him before, she never thought about it at all.

When the emperor saw Jinse like this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Why, you never thought of giving me a gift?".

What can Jinse say?
Can she say that she never remembered this matter?

It was obviously inappropriate to say this. After all, the emperor had asked this. If she had just said that she had never thought of preparing birthday gifts...

Therefore, Jinse thought for a while and then asked: "I don't know what to prepare for the moment. Is there anything the emperor wants?"

Even if the emperor says what he wants, Jinse may not be able to prepare it, but if he asks, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
When the emperor was asked this question by Jin Se, he was stunned for a moment.

He glanced at Jinse silently.

If there's anything else he wants most right now, it's naturally only...

But the emperor knew very well that more than ten years had passed, and that hope was already very slim.

After a long while, the emperor finally just said: "I am not picky. I naturally like everything you prepare with care."

Just think of this birthday gift as something she prepared too!

The emperor thought silently in his heart.

Jinse was stunned and glanced at the emperor.

She felt that she couldn't quite understand the meaning of the emperor's expression at this time. He seemed to be happy, but also seemed a little sad and lonely.

Jinse intuitively felt that what the emperor was thinking about at this time must be very important and special to the emperor, right?

Thinking of this, Jinse didn't ask anything.

Finally, she thought about it and said, "I will think about it carefully when I look back, but..."

The emperor came back to his senses, glanced at Jinse, and asked curiously: "Just what?".

Jinse scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "It's just that the emperor also knows that this servant doesn't have much money, so I'm afraid I won't be able to give you any precious gifts. I hope the emperor doesn't dislike it when the time comes!"

The emperor was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm still happy when you give the gift, it doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not."

The most important thing is his intention. Doesn't the emperor know that Jinse can't bring out anything precious?

Hearing what the emperor said, Jinse breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely be well prepared."After receiving such accurate words, the emperor was even more happy and waved Jinse to go down to work.

Jinse should have responded loudly in front of the emperor, but when it came time to really get ready, Jinse felt very worried.

Because she didn't know what to prepare at all, and she felt that preparing anything was not thoughtful.

As a result, Jinse's brows knotted with worry.

Seeing Jin Se like this, Cha Qing's curiosity immediately arose. She took a few steps towards Jin Se and asked immediately, "What are you thinking about? Chou Cheng is like this?".

Jin Se glanced at Cha Qing, who raised her eyebrows, thought for a while and asked, "Speaking of which, you only became like this after you came back from Qian Tou's study room. Why, what happened to Mo Bi Qian Tou?" .

Cha Qing asked the last sentence very quietly.

After all, it is a matter for the imperial family. Even if you want to inquire, you have to keep your voice low.

Jinse shook his head when he heard this: "Nothing happened.".

"Nothing happened, so what's your expression like?"

Cha Qing expressed disbelief: "Is it something that can't be said? If you can't say it, just pretend I didn't ask."

Cha Qing still has this sense of propriety.

Jinse glanced at Cha Qing helplessly, shook his head and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just want to prepare a birthday gift, but I don't know what to prepare, so I'm thinking about it.".

Birthday gift?

At this time, when it comes to birthday gifts, they can only be given to the emperor.

Cha Qing said somewhat differently: "Are you going to prepare a birthday gift for the emperor?"

Jinse nodded, glanced at Cha Qing, and asked, "Is there something wrong?".

Why does Cha Qing have such an expression?

Cha Qing shook his head, there was nothing wrong with it.

"Usually, those of us who have some respect in the palace will get together to give birthday gifts, and the money will naturally be shared among everyone..."

Did she not expect that Jinse was going to give gifts herself?
Thinking about Cha Qing, she asked curiously: "You don't have much money on hand, right?".

Jinse calculated the remaining money on hand and nodded: "It's not too much. I spent a lot before...".

In the previous period, I spent a lot of money on leaving the palace, and in the following months of staying in the palace, I also spent some bits and pieces, so now Jinse only has two or thirty taels of silver left.

She just spent all the money, what else could she prepare?
Cha Qing thought about it for a while and quickly said: "Since there is not much money available, then prepare something that doesn't cost much money, such as sewing something...".

This shouldn't cost anything, just find some fabric, buy some silk thread, and do it yourself.

But in this case, it is true that it takes some effort.

It turned out to be a really good idea, but Jinse said helplessly: "But, I don't know how to sew anything...".

Jinse has never learned this craft. In the past, she could mend clothes as if they were crawling like insects. Now she has to sew a gift that can be taken out...

Can she still have this skill?

　PS: Let me change this. I came back too late from dinner yesterday and there were not enough updates. I will make up for it now. I stopped updating for a day before and will make up for it later. I have been running around and eating everywhere in the past two days...

　　God, it’s so tiring to talk to people in officialdom!
