Enraged, Qi Xiuyuan’s expression appeared even more dignified. The hall fell silent. Although Qi Xiuyuan had yet to ascend the throne, everyone already regarded him as an Emperor and could not help but feel anxious.

Although Madam Wu was still smiling, her palms were sweaty. She was also a little vexed about her impulsiveness. However, this was not the time to show weakness. Otherwise, with so many people watching, who would take her and her sons seriously in the future?

Qi Xiuyuan sneered in his heart and didn’t say anything. Now that he was already the most powerful person, surely he didn’t have to accommodate others?

However, Li Jinghua had no choice but to stand up and say with a smile, “The things that Madam prepared are naturally good. But Eldest Master and Fourth Brother keep harping on the fact that they haven’t taken care of the two children much, so they wanted to personally buy the things for the zhuazhou ceremony. Naturally, this means that the things that Madam prepared won’t be needed.”

Li Jinghua rubbed the two children’s heads and said with a smile, “These two children have a good relationship. It’s their fate to be able to hold their zhuazhou ceremonies together. There1 s nothing wrong with that.”

Everyone looked at Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling.

Before Qi Haoran could speak, Mu Yangling lowered her head and asked Little Bear, “Are you willing to zhuazhou with your older brother? If you re willing, hold his hand. If you’re not, come to Mother.”

Little Bear, who was originally grabbing the corner of its mother’s clothes, shook off her clothes and ran to Little Treasure’s side. He held onto Little Treasure’s clothes tightly and glared at his mother.

Mu Yangling shrugged and didn’t say a word, but everyone saw her attitude.

Everyone turned to look at Qi Haoran and, seeing him smiling at Little Bear, understood his attitude as well.

The hall suddenly became lively again.

However, Qi Xiuyuan waved his hand to call Shi Jian over and quietly instructed him.

When it was time to do the zhuazhou, the two children were carried to the long table.

Made up of two tables placed horizontally and three tables vertically, it made for a very long and big table collectively. It was filled with the things that Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran had gathered. As it was two children doing the zhuazhou ceremony together, there were duplicates of some important items. For example, there were three books and three wooden swords.

Naturally, Qi Haoran hoped that his son would grab the wooden sword. That way, the father and son would both be generals. How nice would that sound? Hence, he looked at him eagerly and gestured for him to get the wooden sword.

Little Bear didn’t understand the look in his father’s eyes. He thought that his father wanted to play with the things on the table, so he casually grabbed a book and stuffed it into Qi Haoran’s arms. Before everyone could praise him for being “smart and studious”, they had to swallow back down the words.

Qi Haoran put the book back and said, “Son, you have to get what you like. You don’t have togiveittoFather.”

Little Bear tilted his head, thinking that his father didn’t like this. He turned to look at the things on the table and picked up a large gold ingot for him. He remembered that his father had this in his pouch, although it was much smaller.

Qi Haoran held the gold ingot, an exasperated expression on his face. Qi Xiuyuan burst out laughing. Compared to Little Bear, who was staring at Qi Haoran wholeheartedly, Little Treasure’s reaction was much more normal. Seated in the middle of a pile of things, he saw that he and his brother were surrounded by people. Feeling proud, he sat up extremely straight. He understood his father and Fourth Uncle’s instructions for them to choose what they liked.

However, Little Treasure looked around and realized that there was nothing he particularly liked. Seeing that the building blocks that Fourth Aunt had made for him were not placed on the table, he was a little disappointed. Seeing that his brother was still stuffing things into Fourth Uncle’s hands, he went forward and held his hand. “Not for Fourth Uncle. For you.”

As he spoke, he held his hand and walked to the middle of the pile of things. He picked up a pen and handed it to him. After taking it and looking at it, Little Bear decided he didn’t like it and threw it to the ground.

Then, a little relay game tookplace. Little Treasure’s original intention was to let Little Bear choose what he liked first before he chose something himself. This was what his mother usually taught him.

When there was good food and fun, his mother would coax him to give his younger brother a portion first. Then, the rest would be his. This time was no exception.

Therefore, Little Treasure kept passing the things that he thought looked fun to Little Bear, but Little Bear only took a glance and touched them before throwing them down.

Even if there were enough things on the table, there wasn’t enough for them to keep throwing things away like this.

In the beginning, the two children did it unintentionally. Later on, because they felt that it was very fun, the two children were so addicted to it that they even forgot that they were still being watched.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer things on the table, Li Jinghua could not help but interrupt the two of them and tell them to quickly choose what they liked.

Little Treasure looked up lazily at his mother and continued to hand items to Little Bear, who went on to throw down the items passionately. Despising Little Treasure for handing things over too slowly, Little Bear simply reached out to grab something and throw it down himself.

When Little Treasure grabbed a wooden sword and handed it to Little Bear, it was unknown if the latter really liked it or if he was tired of throwing things. Anyway, this time he didn’t throw aside the item. Instead, he stood up with the wooden sword and waved it as he cried out.

This was the longest he had kept an item in his hands. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and kept praising him. “Third Young Master will definitely be a valiant general in the future.”

Next, it was Little Treasure’s turn. By now, there was really not much left on the table.

Little Treasure had handed all the things he found even remotely fun to Little Bear, who threw them down. Hence, what was left on the table were things he had seen before. He lazily pulled over a book and opened it on his lap.

This choice was as typical as the wooden sword that Little Bear had chosen. Everyone thought that the dust had settled and was about to praise him when they saw Shi Jian panting as he came in with a box and handed it to Qi Xiuyuan. After taking the box and opening it, Qi Xiuyuan took out the jade seal and placed it on the long table.

Shocked, everyone’s eyes flickered as they looked at the two children at the table. Even Mu Yangling’s heart was in her mouth.

Due to the strange atmosphere in the hall, Little Bear, who had been dancing with his sword, also stopped. He turned around and looked at everyone. Seeing that everyone was still staring at him, he waved the wooden sword in his hand happily and shouted even more excitedly.

From the beginning to the end, he did not notice that there was an additional piece of jade on the table.

Moreover, in order to attract his parents’ attention, he even specially jumped in front of them and waved the wooden sword with his small hands while shouting, “Hmph, hahaha.”

The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched, and they decisively looked away. Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling looked at their son with gratified expressions. Little Bear didn’t notice that there was something else on the table, but Little Treasure did, because Qi Xiuyuan had specially placed it in front of him. He looked up at his father, then went to pick up the slab of stone that he had never seen before.

When he picked up the jade seal, everyone’s hearts tightened. Li Jinghua tightened her grip on the handkerchief and almost ripped it. However, Little Treasure held the jade seal and gazed at it for a while before turning to look at the things on the table. He realized that although the stone was heavy, it was cold and comfortable to hold.

With a sleepy yawn, Little Treasure pushed the things beside him away. Hugging the cool jade seal, he lay down to sleep.
