The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 893 - 773, Receiving Gifts_3

Just before 11:00 AM, Ping Tong entered the room with a beaming smile. After paying her respects to the likes of the elder Madam Yan and the others, she said with a laugh, "Elder Madam, Madam, Prince Ping’s residence has sent a birthday gift for the eldest young miss."

Madam Li quickly said, "Please invite them in."

The person who came was still Huai En. Huai En first paid his respects to elder Madam Yan and Madam Li, then turned to Daohua to bow, and handed her a sandalwood box half a meter in length: "This humble one wishes for the county princess to enjoy a long and distinguished life, full of grace and beauty."

Daohua smiled as she received the box: "What is this?" As she spoke, she opened the box, and immediately, a light green jade Ruyi scepter caught everyone’s attention.

"The Prince hopes the county princess will always have her wishes fulfilled as easily as turning her hand," Huai En added aptly.

The smile on Daohua’s face grew even brighter. Although a significant reason for Prince Ping sending such a valuable gift was to make up for past guilt, she was still very pleased.

"Please thank the Prince for me; I really like this gift."

"Then this humble one shall return to the residence with the message," Huai En replied.

After bowing once more to elder Madam Yan and Madam Li, Huai En was seen out by Bi Shi.

Prince Ping personally sending someone to deliver a gift was unexpected to everyone present.

After Huai En had left, elder Madam Yan and Madam Li wore happy faces. The more satisfied Prince Ping was with their granddaughter (daughter), the better her future days would be.

The rest of the guests, however, showed a slight change in expression, thinking to themselves that rumors really couldn’t be trusted. Previously, everyone said that Prince Ping was unwilling to take Yan Yiyi as a daughter-in-law, but judging from today’s gesture, Prince Ping was obviously very pleased with this marriage alliance.

"Big sister Yan, the Prince truly values you. This jade Ruyi is of fine quality, crystal clear and bright; it’s anything but ordinary. When you marry into the Prince Residence, you’ll just have to wait and enjoy the good fortune," Han Xinman said with a smile, her comprehension growing clearer now. With Prince Ping’s support behind the Yan Family, even if they offended the Jiang Family, it wouldn’t cause much trouble. It was indeed worth maintaining ties.

Daohua smiled and said nothing. She was about to hand the jade Ruyi to Guyu to put away in her courtyard when Ping Tong walked in once more.

"Elder Madam, Madam, the Duke Residence has sent someone."

At these words, everyone paused in surprise.

Although Prince Ping’s manor sending someone was unexpected, it wasn’t too astonishing.

But the Duke Residence sending an envoy truly amazed the attendees.

Madam Li glanced at Daohua: "Please invite them in quickly."

Soon, Mei Xue, who was a close maid of Madam Guo, walked in.

"It’s you!"

Daohua looked at Mei Xue with surprise, recognizing her as a personal maid to Xiao Yeyang’s mother.

Mei Xue smiled and performed a courtesy to Daohua: "This servant has seen the county princess," she said, then also greeted elder Madam Yan and Madam Li, before turning her attention back to Daohua.

"Today is the county princess’s birthday. The madam could not come personally and instructed this servant to bring a few pieces of jewelry for the county princess to enjoy."

As she spoke, she smiled and signaled for the four maids behind her to step forward and present the jewelry boxes they were holding.

Daohua examined the boxes the maids held, smiling: "The Madam is truly... it’s wonderful. Please convey my thanks to her."

Seeing Daohua’s response, Mei Xue’s smile widened: "As long as the county princess is happy."

Daohua had Guyu take the jewelry boxes and after exchanging a few more pleasantries, Mei Xue left.

"Sister Yan, quickly see what the Duke Residence has sent you," urged Third Miss Han, unable to contain her curiosity.

Daohua was intrigued as well, so she had Guyu open the boxes.

One case was filled with various gems, another with thumb-sized Eastern Pearls from the South Sea, a set of kingfisher-feather hair ornaments, and a set with a phoenix hairpin as the centerpiece.

Hmm, quite practical and certainly luxurious.

Daohua silently applauded Xiao Yeyang’s parents; both had such a generous spirit.

"Put those away for the young miss," said Madam Li, seeing the envy in everyone else’s eyes, instructing Guyu to store the items.

Guyu nodded and with Lixia quickly took the boxes away.

"The Duke Residence seems to hold big sister Yan in high regard as well," Han Xinman commented, but her smile was a bit forced this time.

This visit to the Yan Residence had honestly surprised her.

Both Prince Ping’s residence and the Duke Residence seemed to treasure Yan Yiyi, with birthday gifts that were rare treasures she seldom saw.

Han Xinman glanced at her second sister, Han Xinran, who was serving beside Madam Li. This second sister, indeed, was very fortunate; looking at the current state of the Yan Family, she really did have a better life, just as her mother had said, even compared to her days in the Earl Residence.

...

Xiao Yeyang arrived just before noon, accompanied by Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai, and brought Wu Dingbo with them.

While Yan Wenkai was introducing Wu Dingbo to the others, Daohua walked over to Xiao Yeyang: "Why did he come? Our family doesn’t get along with the Jiang Family, and yet the Wu Family doesn’t avoid us. Let me put you to good use"

Xiao Yeyang laughed softly: "The Wu commander is very astute; he’s an old fox. He’s willing to let his son befriend your brothers because he sees that the imperial uncle no longer wishes to tolerate the Jiang Family."

Daohua smiled: "The Emperor has been quite uncompromising towards the Jiang Family this time."

Xiao Yeyang chuckled: "Let’s talk outside."

Daohua nodded and stepped out of the room with Xiao Yeyang to talk under the flower pavilion in the courtyard.

Xiao Yeyang: "The Emperor was able to ascend the throne thanks to the Jiang Family’s favor. He tolerated them in the past so as not to be accused of ingratitude."

"This time, the Jiang Family dug their own grave, behaving so disgracefully in the Imperial Palace. Even the Empress Dowager stepped in personally, essentially handing the knife to the imperial uncle."

"Seizing this opportunity, the imperial uncle showed his displeasure towards the Jiang Family. Now, nobody will blame him; they’ll only think that the Empress Dowager and the Jiang Family went too far."

"There are plenty of officials in the court who despise the people from Xiliao. With the current Empress Dowager colluding with the Xiliao, she’s truly set off many people’s nerves. Just wait, without the imperial uncle’s protection, there will be many aristocratic families and nobles waiting to take a bite out of the Jiang Family’s fat."

Knowing that the Jiang Family was in for trouble, Daohua felt at ease.

"I hear you’ve received quite a few nice things today?" Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua with a smile.

Daohua held out her hand to Xiao Yeyang: "Where’s my birthday gift?"

Xiao Yeyang grasped her hand, lowered his head to softly peck the center of her palm: "How about I offer myself as your gift?"

Daohua quickly withdrew her hand, glancing around to check if anyone was in sight, then glared at Xiao Yeyang.
