Everyone quickly stood up and bowed to the Emperor.
Kangxi walked in and felt the warmth emanating from the room. He then saw Mingxiu and Yinreng looking at him with smiles on their faces. The warm yellow light made the two of them appear even more gentle, and Kangxi's expression, which had been somewhat stern due to the cold outside, softened considerably.
"Your Majesty, come quickly! I was just saying that I put six coins inside this tonight. Whoever finds it will have great luck this year. Your Majesty, come and see if you can find it!" Mingxiu gestured for Kangxi to come over.
Kangxi walked over slowly, looked at the several large bowls of dumplings, and raised an eyebrow.
The arrival of Emperor Kangxi slightly dampened the lively atmosphere. Mingxiu glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "Let's begin! Don't delay, or the dumplings will get soggy. Come on, everyone take a spoon and choose for yourselves. No picking and choosing from below. Take whichever you want, and make sure you get enough to eat. Let's see who's lucky."

Afterwards, Mingxiu and the other two sat in the room and ate the dumplings in their bowls.
I looked at it carefully before putting it in my mouth.
Yinreng examined his dumplings carefully, and was somewhat disappointed to find that there were no copper coins in them when he took a bite. He then immediately switched his chopsticks to another dumpling.
After finishing all the dumplings in his bowl, Yinreng still hadn't found a copper coin. He put down his chopsticks with a somewhat disappointed expression and looked at Mingxiu and Kangxi.
Because there was no sound of eating coming from outside.
Mingxiu wasn't very nervous at first, but seeing Yinreng's expression, she suddenly became a little nervous. She took a small bite of her dumpling—nothing.
I took another bite, but still nothing.
