Having agreed to the Han family's request, Fu Guiyun naturally took the matter to heart, and ordered Cheng Kui to start inquiring for him about men in Liyang City who were ready for marriage.

She had just arrived here and was not very familiar with the various families in Liyang City. It was not easy to arrange a marriage for an orphan daughter of a martyr's family who came from a humble family like the Han family.

But her mother-in-law and the prince forced her to do it, and as the head of the palace, she had no choice but to agree.

Fortunately, Cheng Kui is an expert on personnel matters, and the people he chooses are all reliable.

After Fu Guiyun sent people to inquire about the girls he had selected for Lu Linfeng, he found out that they were indeed people of excellent character.

She felt relieved when Cheng Kui helped the woman from the Han family pass the first hurdle.

After a few days, it was already October, the golden autumn.

The first day of October is Fu Guiyun’s birthday.

Last night, the prince mentioned that he would bring Han Nian to the mansion today to celebrate her birthday, and then he would stay at the mansion for a while to be trained by her before arranging the marriage.

Early in the morning, she led the palace maids and went to the outer courtyard to clean up a yard.

When she returned to Chuxian Palace, the gatekeeper just brought her the first birthday gift.

It was a birthday gift my father brought from Yundu, a white jade hairpin. My father mentioned in the letter that it was a token of love he gave to his deceased mother and it was of great significance.

Also brought along was a ceramic porcelain doll.

Looking at the ceramic doll in the box, Fu Guiyun sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes filled with sadness.

Cui Luo was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Isn't this the porcelain doll that I fell in love with in the City God Temple when I was nine years old?"

After her reminder, Qinglu also remembered: "That day, the girl was attracted by the porcelain dolls in the peddler's shoulder pole and couldn't get away, but the second lady and the lady insisted on urging the master to return home, and the master had to go back on official business, so he didn't have time to buy the doll for the girl."

Cui Luo immediately went to the box and found a similar porcelain doll. "But later, I don't know who bought the porcelain doll in the peddler's pole for you. Look, it's exactly the same as the one the master sent."

Fu Guiyun stared at the two ceramic dolls intently, and felt inexplicably warm in his heart.

When I was a child, I couldn’t wait for anything good, so I was always happy to see this kind of beloved little gadget.

This ceramic doll had warmed her heart for many years and also let her know that there were people in this world who cared for her silently.

In her previous life, she thought that Song Weizhao had secretly bought it and had someone deliver it to his house, but later she found out that he didn't know about it.

She once took the pottery doll to the peddler to ask about it, but all she knew was that he was a handsome young man.

But there were so many handsome young men in Yundu City, and she thought about it over and over again, but she still had no idea who could have done this.

This matter troubled her for a long time.

"Put them all away."

Fu Guiyun secretly wiped the corners of his eyes. Although it was his father's belated love, it was rare that he could think of such a subtle thing.

Cuiluo and Qinglu had just taken away the two ceramic dolls when Shuyan led Lu Qingchen and Lu Qingyu in.

Lu Qingyu was holding an exquisite box in her hand, and the brother and sister slowly walked towards her.

Shu Yan bowed first, then smiled at Lu Qingchen with narrowed eyes: "Young Master."

Lu Qingchen looked embarrassed, then he knelt down respectfully in front of Fu Guiyun and called out sweetly, "I congratulate you on your birthday. I wish you a long and healthy life, and eternal beauty."

After saying this, he kowtowed solemnly together with Lu Qingyu.

Seeing everyone in the room with their eyes wide open, Fu Guiyun was also stunned for a moment.

She tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes and looked at Shuyan blankly.

Shu Yan smiled knowingly and said playfully, "Does the Crown Prince's Consort want the two children to kneel all the time?"

Fu Guiyun happily helped the brother and sister up personally.

The three of them looked at each other, and Lu Qingchen's clear eyes kept blinking: "Why is mother crying?"

After saying that, he stretched out his little hand and carefully wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"The wind is so strong that it dazzles the eyes."

Fu Guiyun smiled, and then saw Lu Qingyu handing over the box in his hand, motioning her to open it and take a look.

Fu Guiyun obediently opened the box, only to see a box full of paper cranes made of colorful rice paper. His heart was slightly moved.

"Young Master and Master Xian asked me a few days ago that they wanted to prepare a carefully prepared birthday gift for the Crown Prince's Consort. I thought about it and didn't know what the Crown Prince's Consort needed."

Shu Yan looked at Lu Qingyu lovingly: "In the end, it was Miss Yu who was smart and came up with this idea. She folded these paper cranes together with the young master and the young master Xian."

No wonder the two little guys disappeared after dinner recently. Only then did Fu Guiyun understand what they were thinking.

He silently watched the well-behaved little Qingyu, looking at her expectant eyes, as if she was waiting to be recognized.

"Yu'er is very thoughtful. Mother likes the gifts you, brother, and Axian prepared very much."

In fact, Lu Qingchen calling her "mother" from the bottom of his heart today was the best gift for the two siblings.

And she knew Xiao Qingyu, and even wanted to hear her call her mother.

Unfortunately……

Thinking of this, Fu Guiyun stroked her little head secretly with sadness.

She knew that before she entered the palace, no one in the palace truly loved the two children, and she was afraid that the medical treatment would be very perfunctory. She didn't know whether the legendary doctor Xue could cure Qing Yu's muteness.

Now that she had an idea in mind, she decided to find an opportunity to ask Lu Linzhi.

At this time, several concubines and Nanny Jiang came to give gifts and congratulate.

Nanny Jiang held a box in her hand, which contained the deeds to eleven shops in Huayi City and the land deeds to nine farms, as well as the gardens, flower gardens and orchards in Huayi City that her mother-in-law had given her. At this point, the entire Huayi City was handed over to Fu Guiyun.

In addition to these, my mother-in-law also sent a hundred pieces of Liyang Yuhua brocade, fifty pieces of Yundu colorful brocade, and two boxes of gold and silver jewelry.

Such a generous reward simply dazzled the concubines, and they could only envy them.

Compared to the princess's gift, the gifts from the concubines seemed much more simple.

Fuxiang personally knitted a pair of knee pads for the winter, Fangyi knitted a pair of hand warmer covers, and Caidie, as always, maintained her naive nature and gave a gold-inlaid bowl and plate, which was said to be a treasure she bought from a porcelain shop with all the silver money she had been rewarded with when she promoted her aunt.

"Thank you for the gifts you prepared. I like them very much."

Fuxiang and Fangyi are both skilled with their hands. Since Jichun left, she has never seen anyone as meticulous as Xiugong.

She really likes it.

In fact, Fu Guiyun was already very satisfied that they had such sincerity.

I don't expect them to remember my kindness, but as long as they don't cause trouble and everyone gets along happily, that's the best reward.

He gave everyone some satin cloth and some jewelry as return gifts. Fu Guiyun was not stingy with the gold gauze, fine silk and soft brocade given by his mother-in-law. He asked Cuiluo to cut half a piece, divide it into three parts, and give them to the three concubines.

Lu Linchu distributed all the treasures she brought back from Dali to several people and did not keep anything for herself.

This made everyone very happy, and they became more determined in their hearts that only by following the Crown Prince's Consort wholeheartedly could they live a comfortable life.

Afterwards, everyone sat in the room and chatted happily, when suddenly Cheng Kui came to report that the prince had taken a leave today and brought Han Nian into the mansion. Fu Guiyun immediately led the concubines to the guest hall to greet them.

At this time, in the third branch of the Lu family's mansion, Lu Linzhi was sitting in the study, staring blankly at a faded ceramic doll on the table.

After being in a trance for a long time, he couldn't help but smile.

But as he thought about the forgotten past, his expression gradually darkened and became complicated.

After pondering for a while, he carefully put away the ceramic statue and hid it in the innermost layer of the library. Looking at the thing wrapped in satin on the table, he gently picked it up in his hand and walked out with a calm expression.
