"Jin'an City's Wang Family offers ten Ruyi Jades and a pair of night pearls, as birthday gifts for the young princess."
A youngster carefully brings up the tray, and Lady Wang from the Wang Family of Jin'an City stands up laughing and speaks a few courteous words. Xin He smiles and nods in response, prompting Lady Wang to take her seat again.
The next is almost immediate.
"Jinyang City's Liu Family offers a gift..."
Shulan reads through the lengthy gift list. The atmosphere inside the Linxian Pavilion is really lively because this gift-giving opportunity is also an opportunity to show off the strength of one's family.
Since it's the birthday of the young princess of Prince Pingyang's Mansion, it's a given that everyone sends their best gifts. Whoever brings the best and rarest items, their family's power is undoubtedly more outstanding. Everyone, not just Ji Xinhe, is watching the gifts carefully in the pavilion, and everyone is weighing up the competition.
