On the sixth of June, Liu Rushuang and Han Moze took Longyuan and Fengwu to the Duke's Palace of Heng'An, where they presided over Han Moxi and Qing'er's wedding.
The duke's palace was exceedingly lively. Crowds were streaming here and there, and not even an entire chamber could fit the downpour of gifts.
Beside a beautiful jade-green lake, over a dozen children had gathered: Fengwu and Longyuan, Xu Jianyao who was six, Xu Jiancheng who was thirteen, Lian Gongluo who was three, and Little White Flower who was ten.
Longyuan kept his hands clasped behind his back with a dazzling smile. "I'll obey anyone who beats me, but anyone whom I defeat will have to obey me… Hahaha! Who dares to spar me now?"
Xu Jianyao held up a wooden sword and said seriously, "That's your own suggestion. You would have to listen to me if I win."
"Please watch your words, Third Young Master Xu! That's the crown prince you're talking to—how could you make him obey you?"
