"This humble one was ordered by Consort Le to bring a birthday present for Fourth Madam." As he spoke, he took a tray covered with red silk from the eunuch behind him. "Today is Fourth Madam's birthday, Her Ladyship cannot come in person, so she can only offer her distant wishes: may Fourth Madam enjoy long life and good fortune year after year."
She was not surprised that Le Xiu had sent a congratulatory gift. Hearing the eunuch's words, she smiled and personally accepted it. "This concubine thanks Imperial Concubine for her grace." She paused, then said to the eunuch who had brought the gift, "Gonggong, please sit."
