The Little Eunuch accepted it with a beaming smile. After leaving Yichun Palace and inspecting the silver, he muttered, "TSK TSK. Only two taels! She's not as generous as Consort Xian Pin!"
As for the Second Princess, she was still young and didn't need any embroidery frames.
The gift from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was an exquisitely crafted little lion.
It was meticulously made; the lion's fur was real animal hide, its eyes were obsidian, and its teeth were carved from ivory.
Around the little lion's neck hung a red cord, with a small brass bell attached.
With a shake, the small bell chimed, TING-A-LING.
The Second Princess wasn't afraid. She shook it in her hand and giggled with delight, clearly loving it.
Seeing her daughter's enjoyment, Consort Hui Pin was also very happy.
"You've gone to so much trouble. She loves these kinds of toys!"
The Little Eunuch hurried to offer more flattery.
"As long as the Princess likes it!"
