Seeing that even though Rong Yuan hadn't come over, he still couldn't speak or hold his granddaughter, Feng Qingcang couldn't help but sigh.
Murong Wan pinched him and whispered a warning: "Try to tone down your expression. Today is your granddaughter's one-month celebration. If you keep looking gloomy, I'll beat you up."
Upon hearing his wife's words, Feng Qingcang quickly nodded: "Yes, madam. Ah, when can I take charge of things?"
"Pfft, don't even think about it, there's no chance."
"snort!"
Murong Wan grabbed his hand, and Feng Qingcang's expression finally improved.
Next, the guests began to present their gifts. In addition to some officials who came because of his reputation, Feng Qinghuang's senior brother and Qianxun also showed their sincerity by presenting extremely luxurious gifts.
Mu Weiliang gave all his wealth to Xiao Wanwan, while Qianxun gave all the treasures he had looted from the palace to Wanwan.
Not to mention, Feng Qinghuang and Rong Qi's family wished they could give all their wealth to little Wanwan.
At the full moon banquet, besides the gifts from the guests, two imperial edicts were also received. One was about Rong Qi and Feng Qinghuang, bestowing upon them the titles of Prince Xiaoyao and Princess Xiaoyao. The other was a special edict for Feng Muwan, bestowing upon her the title of Princess Fu'an, signifying good fortune, longevity, and peace. This title was the one Rong Yuan and Feng Qingcang had discussed for a month before finally deciding on.
The reason Rong Yuan and Lin Yiran didn't come was because of Feng Qingcang. After Rong Yuan attended the last full-moon banquet for Feng Bao, Feng Qingcang had been talking about him for almost two months. This time, he promised Feng Qingcang not to steal his thunder. However, even if they weren't there in person, their gifts and the imperial decree would still be present.
At this moment, Rong Yuan was in the imperial study, but he had no heart to review the memorials; his mind was filled with thoughts of going to the Prince Feng's residence.
But since he has already agreed not to go, he can't very well go with a forced smile.
Hong Fu found it somewhat amusing to see His Majesty's anxious expression; he knew he had to swallow his words, no matter how painful they were.
It's because His Majesty lost the bet with Prince Feng!
We have no choice but to accept the punishment!
Rong Yuan finally said impatiently, "Do you think Feng Qingcang will look down on me if I go there now?"
Hong Fu was the only person openly present in the entire Imperial Study, so how could he not know that His Majesty was asking him a question?
"Your Majesty, the little princess's full moon celebration has been going on for quite some time. If you go now, it may be over by the time you arrive."
Upon hearing Hong Fu's words, Rong Yuan immediately glared at him, saying, "Can't you speak properly? If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all."
Hong Fu sensed the intimidating look in His Majesty's eyes and quickly tried to make amends.
"Of course, if Your Majesty really wishes to attend, it will certainly add much splendor to the little princess's full moon celebration. I'm sure Prince Feng would be very pleased."
Not at all. Feng Qingcang is in a very bad mood right now. If Rong Yuan goes over at this time, he will probably become Feng Qingcang's punching bag.
Rong Yuan nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.
"Hongfu, let's go, let's set off for the Phoenix Prince's residence. I want to personally bless the little princess. Who cares if Feng Qingcang is satisfied or not? He can't possibly kick me out."
Great fortune...
Prince Feng won't kick you out, but he'll insult you in a sarcastic way. Your Majesty is becoming more and more inhumane. Doesn't Your Majesty know how much Feng Qingcang annoys you? And you still go looking for a scolding!
What can Hongfu do? His Majesty has spoken; he can only follow orders.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Is there anything else this old servant needs to prepare?"
Although the gifts and imperial edict had been sent ahead of time, Feng Qingcang would be even more furious if the two of them went empty-handed! Others might care that he is the emperor, but Feng Qingcang doesn't care!
"What are we bringing? Just the two of us, let's keep a low profile, understand?"
Hong Fu chuckled to himself. Your Majesty, where can you possibly keep a low profile?
"Your Majesty, then isn't your excuse for adding blessings baseless?"
Rong Yuan thought about it and realized that it made sense. The gift for the little princess had already been sent, so it wouldn't be right for him to go again without bringing something back!
"Go to the storeroom and see what else is there, those sparkly treasures. I know Xiao'er liked these when she was little, and I think Wanwan will like them too."
Hong Fu almost suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't you just take all the luminous pearls from your palace and give them to the little princess? She'll definitely love them."
Hong Fu was about to go down to prepare when Rong Yuan stopped him.
"Doesn't my palace have quite a few luminous pearls? Go and have someone fetch half of them for me. I'll give them to Wanwan; I don't need that many anyway."
Great fortune...
Well, I was right!
After everything was ready, Rong Yuan swaggered off to the Phoenix Prince's Mansion with Hong Fu.
Hong Fu prayed silently from behind, hoping he could stand further away in a while, because his head was about to start hurting again! A great battle was about to begin.
