The first day of the New Year was a fine day with melting snow and gentle winds.
From the Yan Country's Imperial Palace to the homes of commoners, the atmosphere was filled with New Year joy.
This celebration ceremony wasn't an evening banquet. Before noon, civil and military officials above the fifth rank, along with their families, gathered early at Zhonghe Hall, waiting for the Emperor and Empress Dowager.
As soon as he entered the hall, the young prince Rong Yunhao rushed towards Gu Lan, excitedly pointing to his gap-toothed smile and exclaimed, "Brother Lan, look! I've grown up; I lost a tooth today!"
"Ah, changing your teeth, then it's perfect, you shouldn't eat snacks today." Gu Lan bluntly took the pastries from Rong Yunhao's table and ate a large piece of almond crisp right in front of him.
Rong Yunhao had been so happy, but upon hearing Gu Lan's words, his eyes suddenly blinked as if about to cry.
