On the second day of the second month, it was the birthday of the Crown Prince, Xiao Zhen. The Emperor suspended court, and civil and military officials went to the Crown Prince Residence the day before to present birthday gifts to the Crown Prince.
Xiao Zhen originally wanted everything to be simple, but because the Emperor had left the palace early to accompany him for breakfast at the Crown Prince Residence, and after breakfast, officials arrived one after another, the Emperor took charge and accepted the birthday gifts on behalf of Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen glanced at the Emperor several times, silently accepting the Emperor's kindness and good intentions without refusal.
Officials above the third rank personally came to present their gifts, and the Emperor kept them for lunch at the Crown Prince Residence.
