Three days later the new year's night arrived, everyone greeted the new year with the joy of fireworks.
In the royal hall Youngzhou already gathered everyone, according to royal tradition every prince is obliged to give gifts to the king on the eve of the new year.
"Please say goodbye to the old year and welcome to the new year, may Youngzhou prosper even more, this year is a prosperous year with an abundance of crops, may Youngzhou prosper, tonight all the people celebrate together and give gifts to each other, welcome the princes to give gifts" Kasim said as the host.
Xiao Chen then stood up from his seat and walked before Xiao Dong who was sitting on the throne with Queen Xiao Lian by his side. Then a waiter came with a tray.
"Honor father and mother may father and mother live a long life, I give this gift for not having the talent to find jewelry, this is a naturally formed Qilin Ball on the base of Guangzhou volcano, may you always be given good luck" Xiao Chen said, revealing a round stone the size of a tennis ball and letting out a warm, red glow.
"Thank you Chen'er, give me the first prince a residence and 10 servants and 10,000 gold coins" Xiao Dong said.
"Thank you father" Xiao Chen said, bowing once and returning to his seat, the servant who brought Xiao Chen's gift also returned to his place. Now it was Xiao Feng's turn forward that he bowed once before King Xiao Dong and Queen Xiao Lian and before long the servant came carrying a scroll of cloth.
"Greetings father and queen may father and queen live a long life, the gift I give is a sketch of the construction of fortresses and dams throughout Youngzhou, may Youngzhou be more prosperous and prosperous" said Xiao Feng.
"Give it to me" said Xiao Dong and the waiter immediately brought the scroll and held it on the table.
"It's good, only the Second Prince knows my heart, if this fort succeeds it will be worth hundreds of thousands of troops and the dam built could be irrigation and beneficial for generations, he said, award the Second Prince a pair of Liyue jade and 10,000 gold coins" Xiao Dong, Prime Minister of Qin and Law Minister Chen Nian smiled then, Prime Minister Qin whispered to the prime Minister Wang next door.
"Giok Liyue is the greatest gift before the position of successor is confirmed in all dynasties" whispered the prime minister Qin with a smile. The servant rolled back the cloth scroll and returned to his place as well as Xiao Feng. Xiao Jun then advanced, after saluting him showing his gift that the maid had brought.
"Greetings father and mother may father and mother live a long life, first brother brings treasure, second brother presents for the country and my special gift for father,, and,, this is a special pillow from the east of Youngzhou and the middle can be opened and can be included some relaxation herbs as a mind tranquilizer,, for example,, I know that you always work hard and think of people so you can't fall asleep so I give you this hope you can sleep well and have a calm mind" said Xiao Jun, King Xiao Dong and Queen Xiao Lian smiled.
"Haha Jun'er has grown up and pityed this father, as long as Youngzhou is prosperous and you fellow brothers can unite and respect each other I can sleep quietly,, you've grown up learning about court matters and you can help me a little, award the Third Prince Tongyi jade and 10,000 gold coins" Xiao Dong said
"Thank you father" Xiao Jun said back to his place, Prime Minister Wang smiled and whispered to Prime Minister Qin
"Having rewarded the Second Prince, now the king asks indirectly the Third Prince by his side like the king has other thoughts" whispered Prime Minister Wang and answered with a small offer from Prime Minister Qin.
After finishing giving gifts everyone is welcome to enjoy the banquet and be presented with dance and music. After an hour the event ended and everyone returned to their respective residences.

Xiao Feng did not directly return to his residence and Yuan Li immediately darted into the central pavilion. In the front yard of the pavilion everyone seemed busy arranging the tables, Feng Xi arranged some tables on top of which were full of good food that he had deliberately ordered from Xiao Feng's restaurant. They were finished just when Xiao Feng came.
"Master!"
"Sister!"
Greet everyone, Xiao Feng smiled then walked in front of everyone.
"Happy new year, may we live a long and prosperous life" said Feng Xi and others. Even Bai Hu and Qing Long also wished the new year a happy, Xiao Feng chuckled.
"Good new year to you too, tonight we will party until morning, Yuan Li you share that thing!" xiao Feng said then Yuan Li took out a large box containing many cloth bags. Yuan Li handed out to everyone a cloth bag containing 1000 gold coins.
"Yeayy, we got a wave from big brother, I'll buy some nice clothes" Li Ying said with a happy laugh.
"Thank you Mister!"
"Let's eat and Yuan Li lights the fireworks"
"Good Sir"
That night everyone in the Pavilion had fun even Zhu Yue and Zhu Que who were usually always noisy now looked well together, not anything because they were afraid that Xiao Feng would get angry. Xiao Feng felt a warm flow in his heart seeing the excitement of everyone, his gaze always looking at Feng Xi who was laughing while occasionally feeding Ling'er, Li Ying and Sun Guan alternately.

It was late at night, everyone seemed to be sleepy from eating and drinking wine and they immediately rested, Xiao Feng was still awake he walked up to Feng Xi who was sitting drinking wine.
"Xixi, let's come with me" Xiao Feng said as he pulled Feng Xi's hand.
"Wh-where are you going?"
"Just come along,,"
The two then flew towards a hill that was not too high behind the pavilion. After reaching the top Xiao Feng took out two chairs then took Feng Xi to a seat. Xiao Feng then raised his hand and flowed his golden fire element qi towards the sky.
"Gusha!"
"Durrr!"
The fireball exploded when it was above and created a beautiful spark coloring the dark night sky that is not inferior to ordinary fireworks, however there was something interesting and made Feng Xi smile and a red hue instantly appeared on his white cheeks.
"Happy new year for the beautiful white flower that is flown by the wind, fragrant and its beauty beats all the beauty in the world,,"
It was the writing that appeared after the explosion of fire, Feng Xi knew those figurative words were aimed at him until he lowered his face in shame.
"Look, it's not more beautiful to see fireworks" Xiao Feng said.
"Right, you're good at picking places" Feng Xi replied then looked towards Xiao Feng who was looking at the sky.
"She can be romantic too, I'm getting carried away" Feng Xi murmured in her heart she held onto her chest that was suddenly pounding hard. Xiao Feng took out arak then shifted his seat closer towards Feng Xi.
"Let's spend the night warming up" Xiao Feng said.
"Whatchu mean? I'm not ready yet, at least you should meet my parents first" Feng Xi said nervously. Xiao Feng frowned, then flicked Feng Xi's forehead.
"www"
"You think about what, I don't think you're perverted, too, it's cold here isn't by drinking the wine that our bodies get warm" Xiao Feng said with a grin. Feng Xi had her face reddened in misunderstanding by Xiao Feng's words, she snatched the wine in Xiao Feng's hand and drank it to relieve her embarrassment, Xiao Feng laughed seeing that. The two spend the night telling stories while looking at fireworks that do not stop decorating the night.
