The Crown Prince Residence was bustling for the entire day. Although the Emperor intentionally made Xiao Zhen's birthday lively, he also knew to give him some space, so after having lunch, he returned directly to the palace.
As the Emperor left, the court officials each drank some hangover soup, took the pastries made by the chefs of the Crown Prince Residence, and began to leave one after another.
The court officials felt quite warm-hearted. Although the new Crown Prince was cold and indifferent, he was much more reliable in his actions compared to the former Crown Prince. They had come to celebrate the Crown Prince's birthday, but ended up enjoying both food and gifts, which was a first for them.
