Wen Zhimiao spent the next month preparing for the wedding and almost forgot about her coming-of-age ceremony.

Hu Yan and his companions were originally planning to go back, but when they learned that the Emperor and Empress were about to get married and the Crown Prince was about to come of age, they thought about it and decided not to go back. They even prepared to have someone send some gifts, which made them very conscious tribute-paying guests.

Wen Zhimiao's birthday is on the tenth day of February.

She herself didn't remember it, but others helped her remember it.

Su Qingluo had started preparations early, and Yun Zhou and Yun Jiuzhao followed to check on the progress.

On Wen Zhimiao's birthday, the weather in Yunjing City was also very good.

As the person involved, she also got up quite early. She woke up without anyone calling her. When she got up, it was just the dawn. The golden sunlight penetrated the clouds and gently fell on the glazed tiles of the imperial city, shining with dazzling light.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had already dressed neatly, sat on the roof, squinting his eyes as he looked at the sun which had not yet fully risen.

After today she will really no longer be a child. At the age of fifteen she already has a lot of responsibilities.

If you are a child from an ordinary family, you need to make money even if you don’t study.

The palace was already bustling with activity. Wen Zhimiao could see the palace servants walking back and forth, busy as they went, from where he sat.

There are also sacrifices to be performed when a woman reaches the age of 15, to ancestors and heaven, but it is not as grand as the enthronement ceremony, nor does it need to take so long. Sacrifices within the palace are sufficient.

It was almost time, Wen Zhimiao went down from the roof and returned to the house, put on her clothes, put on her sword, and waited for someone to come and pick her up.

Soon the guide arrived.

Everything in the palace was carried out solemnly and dignifiedly. Su Qingluo and Yun Zhou accompanied her, and Shi Wanyue watched her among the ministers.

She looked at Wen Zhimiao, who bowed her head to accept the emperor's crown, as if she was watching her grow up.

Shi Wanyue didn't know that her mood at this moment was exactly the same as Wen Zhimiao's a few years ago.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, a banquet was held in the palace, and Wen Zhimiao quietly sat down next to Shi Wanyue.

Su Qingluo looked at her, but in the end said nothing.

It wasn't just the palace that was bustling, the entire Yunjing City was bustling.

There were auspicious signs in the sky on the day the prince was born, and he later predicted disasters many times. In the hearts of many people, Wen Zhimiao was still the spokesperson for the gods.

Besides this, there is another reason. Wen Zhimiao has been walking around the streets of Yunjing City since she was a child, and many people know her.

What makes her different from other royal heirs in the hearts of the people is that some people feel that she is the prince whom they watched grow up.

So the entire imperial city celebrated her coming-of-age ceremony.

Many people even dressed up as if this was some very important festival.

Wen Zhimiao herself could not have imagined that she held such a high status in the hearts of the people of Yunjing.

Although Duan Jiling, Bian Ruitong, Qi Linglang and Zheng Shu were not in Yunjing City, the gifts were sent over early.

Duan Jiling still liked writing letters to them. She sent a letter before the New Year, and another letter and a gift for Wen Zhimiao before her coming-of-age ceremony.

Just like before, I like to mutter everything I want to say, as if if I don’t seize the opportunity to talk to her, there will be no chance again.

She never talked about her physical condition, but Wen Zhimiao, Shi Wanyue and others all had news.

After a winter, Duan Jiling's health seemed to be getting worse.

Bian Ruitong went to see her during the New Year holiday and said that she was coughing up blood more frequently.

Even if people knew this, they could do nothing about it.

After all, if Lu Jiaoyue and Elder Lao can’t do anything, what else can they do?

As for companionship, that is also difficult because they are no longer children who can do whatever they want. As they grow older, they have their own responsibilities.

All I can do is send her some small gifts from time to time, write to her actively, and tell her about the interesting things happening on my side.

The most powerless things in life are always matters of life and death.

The letters from Zheng Shu and Qi Linglang were much more relaxed.

Last time he said he had made a wooden bicycle, and this time he said that he was inspired by what Wen Zhi said about steam, so he made a hot air balloon, which has a considerable load capacity, but the direction cannot be controlled, so he dare not let people fly.

Sometimes Wen Zhimiao always felt that this world was magical, with such powerful people. Zheng Shu, who looked weak and frail, was actually a slightly crazy scientist.

Compared to her, Qi Linglang can only be regarded as an architect or geologist, but because of hanging out with Zheng Shu, she knows a little more and can be of help.

Zheng Shu and Qi Linglang gave her a coming-of-age gift of various specialties from their travels in the west, many of which were quite interesting.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Wen Zhimiao did not have a leisurely life. On the one hand, she heard that Saint Lady Lu Jin seemed to have found what she wanted.

The evidence that Su Yubing promised to give to Wen Zhimiao about the Su family's hoarding of a large amount of hidden land was also delivered to him one after another.

Su Qingluo has officially asked Wen Zhimiao to handle some government affairs. These are not the specific government affairs like before the New Year, but the affairs that he should handle as a crown prince regent.

In addition to preparing for the emperor and empress's wedding, Wen Zhimiao felt that he was very busy every day.

In fact, Su Qingluo didn't give her that many things to do. It was because her team in the East Palace had not yet been able to operate so flexibly, resulting in low efficiency.

But there was no other way, she could only take it slow, because even the crown prince of Tianxuan did not have such treatment, let alone being the regent. The emperor was afraid of giving the crown prince too much power, and worried that the crown prince would become too ambitious and want the emperor to abdicate.

So Wen Zhimiao could only take it slow.

Fortunately, Su Qingluo is not that cruel.

A month may sound like a long time but it actually goes by very quickly.

In addition to routine government affairs, Wen Zhimiao was also busy communicating with the Zongzheng Temple, the Ministry of Personnel, the Honglu Temple, etc., and he also had to send people to arrange dancers, musicians, etc. for the opera troupe.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. The East Palace team was becoming more and more efficient. Yun Zhou and Su Qingluo's wedding was almost ready, and everything was going well in the North as well.

The biggest thing recently is probably that King Fan of Beirong led his troops to fight against the nomads further northwest.

In recent years, a nomadic tribe has risen in the western part of Beirong. They have always been dissatisfied with Beirong and have harassed them from time to time.

King Brahma suffered a loss at the hands of Apocalypse last time, and he will not allow them to provoke him again.

In fact, Wen Zhimiao felt that King Brahma’s loss seemed to be planned by her.

She has become too powerful this year. She has the support of the people and the military power, so the King of Beirong is worried.

So she needed to use one thing to prove that she was still young and immature, and still under the control of King Beirong.

The same is true for the cooperation with Ao Dun.

King Brahma is not someone who will fall so easily. At least if she really wants to fight, Wen Zhimiao doesn't believe that she will lose so easily.
