She wore a gorgeous and exquisite purple palace dress, and apart from the Empress, almost no other concubine in the harem could match her style.
After taking her seat, Consort Liu gave Su Liluo a fierce look, then a smug smile appeared on her lips.
Su Liluo naturally noticed this gaze and knew that Consort Liu was planning to make things difficult for her today.
The banquet began with court singers and dancers performing celebratory dances, followed by princes and ministers presenting birthday gifts.
Emperor Wenjian was naturally overjoyed to receive so many gifts.
After the ministers presented their birthday gifts, it was the royal family members in the palace who expressed their filial piety.
Some princesses presented gifts such as a hundred longevity paintings they had embroidered themselves, others presented luminous pearls from the East China Sea, and still others presented golden Buddha statues, among other things.
Prince Cheng generously gifted him a summer resort he had personally built, which greatly pleased Emperor Wenjian, who then bestowed upon him additional gifts on the spot.
It could be said that the gifts given by the princesses and princes were a real battleground of competition, with each one trying to outdo the other in quality.
Seeing that most people had already given their gifts, only the Crown Prince, Prince Xiao, and Prince Chu had yet to present theirs.
Many people turned their attention to them. Seeing the grandeur of the King of Cheng, everyone wondered what gifts they would give to Emperor Wenjian.
Xiao Churen was naturally confident. He knew that even if Prince Cheng generously gifted the Emperor a summer resort, given his father's obsessive love for painting, it still couldn't compare to his own "Ten Thousand Sons and Thousand Grandsons" painting.
His gift was definitely the highlight of the day.
Therefore, he is not as good as him at all.
Therefore, Xiao Churen turned his attention to the Crown Prince.
He smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are the future heir apparent. Your gift must be different from everyone else's. Why don't you let everyone see what you have prepared?"
