Soon, Yang Wenxiao's birthday arrived.
Yang Wenxiao rarely got up for the morning court, accepting the kneeling and congratulatory gifts from the officials. By the time this whole process was over, it was already noon, and the Imperial Kitchen had prepared a banquet, where everyone took their seats.
After lunch, Yang Wenxiao returned to Da'an Palace.
Despite the morning's commotion, he didn't feel tired, his spirits were high. He took a short rest at noon, and by the time he woke up, he was bursting with energy, ready to accept the kneeling congratulations from the people of the Harem.
The concubines in the Harem would come to present their congratulatory gifts, but he did not see them, only sending Gao Lian out to say a few words.
After dispatching the concubines, he finally had time to summon Qiao Xiaomai.
Qiao Xiaomai said she had come up with a novel toy, and he had been looking forward to it since he heard the news.
