'I can't believe you'd...no, I actually can believe you'd do something like this.' He Xuan told Hua Cheng in their private communication.
Hua Cheng said nothing but he looked extremely proud of himself.
'Hua-chengzhu...' Yin Yu sighed, knowing he was the one tasked to buy that many lanterns while making sure they still had a proper budget.
"Still, next time, don't spend too much, okay San Lang? One is enough for me." Xie Lian gently told him.
"But Gege~" he whined. Xie Lian felt his heart soften as he just sighed fondly.
Mu Qing pretended to barf along with Feng Xin.

Three thousand lanterns!
"An absurd amount for others." Jun Wu commented. "But you deserve it, Xian Le."
'Maybe I should also give him some lanterns.' he thought while glancing at Xie Lian.
"N-no." Xie Lian denied. "I haven't really done anything to deserve it."
All was silent when suddenly, there was a tidal wave-like uproar.
"Of course there would be." Yushi Huang sighed.
Never, not even the Great Martial Palace that always sat at the head, solid as the mountains, had anyone won three thousand lanterns in one night at the Mid Autumn Festival Banquet.
Hua Cheng smirked. "It seems you aren't appreciated much, heavenly emperor."
"How dare you say that!" Feng Xin immediately defended.
"It's alright." Jun Wu calmed him. "We can't control everyone's opinion on me, after all."
"Don't be mean, San Lang." Xie Lian told him. "You should respect him."
"Okay, Gege." Hua Cheng said with a slight pout which made Xie Lian laugh lightly.
'He's really a threat.' Jun Wu frowned.
In fact, no one had ever imagined such a number. Even just one thousand was already difficult to pass. Three thousand. That was truly unheard of, not a precedent in history, and it was even more than the count of all the other top ten heavenly officials added together!
"Congratulations again, your highness!" Qing Xuan immediately broke the tension in the room.
"Thank you." Xie Lian said with a smile.
"Haha, with this, you really are set for life, aren't you, your highness?" Pei Ming teased, smirking at Hua Cheng as he knew the prince wouldn't understand.
Hua Cheng merely smiled back.
Of course he would give Xie Lian the most comfortable life he could give.
One can imagine, at that moment, just how incredulous every official was, and some even blurted out, "That must be a mistake!"
