Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for Rong Qi and Feng Qinghuang's two sons to draw lots for their wedding banquet.
The couple originally wanted to celebrate their two sons' first birthday peacefully and simply at the Prince's Palace, but the Emperor refused. Rong Yuan said that the two little ones were the first pair of twins in their royal family in hundreds of years, and therefore a lottery banquet should be held in the palace.
In the end, Rong Qi's persuasion failed, so he could only ask the palace to arrange a lottery banquet for his two sons, which would save them the trouble.
This time, not only were the ministers of the court invited, but their families were also brought along to highlight the status of the two young masters.
The palace was originally just for Rong Xi's family, and the entire banquet was organized by Empress Luo Yunya. Of course, Rong Xiao and Rong Qing would occasionally come to help.
The banquet was held in the Imperial Garden, a spacious and beautiful location. Preparations took a full two weeks, demonstrating the importance the Emperor Emeritus placed on this event.
The Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager, as well as the Emperor and Empress, had not yet arrived. The ministers who were already seated did not pay any attention to them and began to discuss the two young masters of the Prince of Xiaoyao's Mansion in small groups.
Let alone royalty, even among ordinary families, it's extremely rare for twins to be born.
Just as everyone was discussing this, the Emperor Emeritus and the Empress Dowager, each with a young prince, slowly walked in. Behind them followed the Emperor, Empress, Rong Qi, Feng Qinghuang, and others.
The two little ones, with chubby faces and big, bright eyes, looked at everyone without a trace of fear despite the large crowd. Their tiny noses and mouths were incredibly cute. Feng Nian and Feng Yu looked almost identical, except for the beauty mark under Feng Nian's right eye; otherwise, it would have been difficult to tell them apart.
After everyone was seated, the eunuch read out a long list of gifts, all of which were treasures brought by imperial relatives and ministers. Because of the two young princes' importance in the royal family, the ministers were also extremely generous.
After all the procedures were completed, the main event of the day began—drawing lots.
The Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager placed the two young princes in the center of the venue, on a red carpet covered with various items for drawing lots.
The two young masters each stood on one side, neither bothering the other. Rong Fengnian and Rong Fengyu were placed on the red carpet, which was somewhat inexplicable.
Rong Yuan smiled at the two of them: "Feng Nian and Feng Yu, look at these things in front of you. Take whatever you want and hold it in your arms. Your great-uncle will take you to eat something delicious later."
Upon hearing that his great-uncle was going to treat him to something delicious, Fengyu quickly crawled forward using both his hands and feet.
Feng Nian followed leisurely behind his younger brother, watching his brother's non-stop pace with disdain in his bright eyes.
It's as if it's saying, "You little brother just eats, you idiot!"
As Feng Nian climbed, he looked around at the things. He couldn't find anything he liked, but Feng Yu had already gathered all the gold, silver, and abacus into her arms.
"Haha, is our Feng Yu planning to become the richest person in the future?"
Feng Yu didn't understand anything about being the richest man, and stuffed everything in her arms into Rong Yuan's arms.
After Rong Yuan took it, he asked, "Little Fengyu, do you want anything else?"
Feng Yu shook her head: "Eat...eat...sweet...."
"Okay, let's wait for brother to get it, then we'll go eat some sweets together, okay?" Rong Yuan smiled so much his eyes were almost invisible.
"good."
Rong Yuan then handed the things in his hand to Hong Fu beside him, while he held Feng Yu and watched Feng Nian draw lots.
Feng Nian seemed to have gone around in circles but hadn't found what he wanted, so he climbed back down.
Rong Qi thought for a moment, then placed his sword at his feet, just in time for Feng Nian to see it when he returned.
Rong Yuan watched Rong Qi's actions speechlessly. What was this kid trying to do?
Feng Qinghuang tugged at his sleeve: "Aqi, what are you doing?"
Rong Qi lowered his head and approached Feng Qinghuang: "I think our eldest son wants to inherit my mantle. Jiaojiao will have to see him later."
Feng Qinghuang pinched Rong Qi: "I think it's because A Qi wants a son to inherit your mantle."
Rong Qi smiled but didn't say anything. Of course he wanted to, otherwise if everyone were like the second son, that would be terrible.
As the two were talking, Feng Nian had already crawled to Rong Qi's feet and was holding his sword. He also had a general history of the Azure Dragon Kingdom in his arms.
Well, Rong Qi was right.
Actually, Feng Nian had already seen Rong Qi when he picked up the sword, and he liked it.
Rong Qi picked up the eldest son: "Our son, who is skilled in both literature and martial arts."
Feng Qinghuang sighed. "That works too. The eldest is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and the second loves money. No problem."
After the lottery was completed, the next step was the final part of the banquet—the meal.
During the meal, the Imperial Garden was filled with singing and dancing, and the sound of gongs and drums. However, the two main characters had already been taken away by two elderly people. They didn't want to be in the midst of this chaos and interfere with taking care of the child.
They're incredibly adept at using the tactic of discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose. They've delivered the gifts, drawn lots, and then stopped bothering with the rest.
