Slowly, Mingxiu finished eating her dumplings. Looking at her last dumpling, Mingxiu took a small bite, but still nothing. Mingxiu was very confused. She was so lucky, why didn't she get a single one?
Then Mingxiu and Yinreng looked at Kangxi together.
Suddenly a sound came from outside. Xiao Xizi came in to report that a total of three people outside had eaten the copper coin.
Mingxiu and Yinreng kept their eyes fixed on Kangxi. Three people had already eaten, which meant there were three left.
Kangxi slowly ate his dumplings, enduring the two men's enthusiastic gazes.
"Crunch"
Emperor Kangxi ate a copper coin.
The star and Yinreng immediately became excited, and then they saw Kangxi slightly spit out a copper coin and place it on the table.
Continuing to watch Kangxi, sure enough, after a short while, there was another "thump".
Kangxi bit into another copper coin.
Mingxiu and Yinreng's expressions immediately changed. Was Kangxi's luck too good or theirs too bad? No way! No wonder the Son of Heaven's luck was so good.
Mingxiu was still thinking when she heard a thud.
Emperor Kangxi ate another copper coin.
Mingxiu's eyes widened instantly, and Yinreng, standing beside her, also looked at Kangxi with disbelief.
There were a total of six copper coins and several hundred dumplings, but he ate three by himself, while he and his mother, Consort Ming, didn't get any.
Yinreng felt wronged and didn't understand.
Mingxiu also felt wronged. The two looked at each other, completely unable to understand why.
Kangxi slowly finished his dumplings, then looked up and saw two dejected people opposite him.
He smiled slightly, picked up three copper coins, wiped them clean, and placed two of them into the hands of the two men.
Immediately, their smiles widened.
Although I didn't get a coin myself, it's good that someone who was late got one and I can share my luck with them.
Mingxiu looked at the copper coins in her hand, somewhat excited, and forgot her earlier statement that she didn't need anyone else to share them.
After staring at the copper coins for a while, Mingxiu suddenly went inside and took out the rope she had been using to make bracelets. Mingxiu had been bored at home lately, and she remembered the various red ropes she had made when she was in school, so she made a few. There were a few left without anything on them, so she put the copper coins on them and strung them together.
Then he put the red rope on each of the three of them one by one. Kangxi looked helplessly at the red rope on his hand, his lips twitched, and he wanted to say something, but seeing the happy expressions on the two of them, he ultimately said nothing.
Mingxiu and Yinreng looked at the red string on their hands and smiled happily.
After finishing the dumplings, Kangxi went back to his work. Mingxiu, who was pregnant, soon became sleepy.
Even before going to sleep, she didn't forget her purse.
"Come, come, it's time to give out New Year's money. May Baocheng have a safe and peaceful year!" Mingxiu took out a large red purse embroidered with gold thread from her sleeve, stuffed full of money, and put it into Yinreng's arms.
Yinreng was stunned for a moment, then happily accepted the red envelope given to him by Mingxiu.
After happily wishing Mingxiu a Happy New Year, he followed Kangxi out of Yonghe Palace through the snow.
After seeing the two off, Mingxiu called everyone in. Green Bamboo was carrying a basin of purses.
"This year is a new year, everyone should be happy. Just like last year, as long as you take good care of things in the palace, I will not treat you unfairly. I will give each of you a New Year's purse in a little while. After that, you can stay up late on your own or go back to rest, it's up to you."
