The Dream Is Broken

Some families had a much poorer New Year's Eve than usual, especially the wealthy families.

Everybody suddenly realized something when they saw that Prince Zi's third day banquet was better than their usual New Year's Eve feast

Prince Zi didn't lack any of the rare things that they did.

All the delicacies were in Prince Zi's residence.

Where did Prince Zi's food come from?

Even the servants at Prince Zi's residence were wearing embroidered clothes, when it had to be pointed out that the embroiderers who knew how to make these things were nowhere to be found.

Had they all entered Prince Zi's residence?

With that in mind, someone remembered that Prince Zi had sent out a call for lowly workers a few months ago. Anyone who could work, no matter the trade, could find support at Prince Zi's residence.

It was said that they could trade their handiwork for money, and the monthly wage was quite high.
