After everyone had finished offering their New Year's greetings, Huai En led the servants in a procession, placing a steaming hot bowl of dumplings in front of Daohua and the others.
The Prince Residence's first meal began with the Prince picking up his chopsticks, followed by everyone else starting to eat.
"Ah!"
Daohua bit into something hard on her first bite of dumpling and couldn't resist making a noise.
Everyone looked over in her direction.
Seeing the gold ingot the size of a thumb in Daohua's spoon, Princess Consort Ma humphed almost imperceptibly. The Prince, however, smiled and said, "Yan girl must have exceptional luck this year."
Daohua's eyes crinkled with a smile as she looked expectantly at Xiao Yeyang, "Hurry up and eat, see if you can get one too."
Xiao Yeyang laughed and devoured his dumplings, one after another, until the very last one, from which he spit out a gold ingot.
