Chapter 32: The Ceremony of Coming of Age

"Your Majesty, we are about to set off for the Fengxian Emperor Palace." Lin Su reminded.

Si Mu looked at Wei Yu's knees, "You..."

"I'm fine. I can leave now."

Wei Yu drank the medicine in one gulp, but it was still very difficult for him to stand up.

Si Muzhen wanted to ask her not to go, but she couldn't slap herself in the face, so she could only say, "Just stand next to Lin Su and tell him if you feel uncomfortable."

"I understand, thank you."

Si Muzhen wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.

Wei Yu and Lin Su walked side by side behind the emperor. Wei Yu asked Lin Su in a low voice, "Did the emperor want to say something just now? I think he seemed to be hesitant to speak."

"You didn't bow several times just now, but I guess the emperor doesn't want to pursue it because of your injured knee." Lin Su said in a low voice.

Wei Yu looked at Si Muzhen's back and said "Oh".

A carriage was parked at the entrance of the hall.

Wei Yu remembered that the emperor usually rode in a sedan chair carried by others in the palace, and rarely rode in a carriage unless he was leaving the palace.

"This is a special order from the emperor." Lin Su whispered in Wei Yu's ear.

Si Muzhen turned around and said to Wei Yulin, "You will all come with me to the imperial carriage and serve me personally."

"Yes."

Wei Yu climbed onto the carriage with difficulty.

The carriage was very spacious and the interior was extremely gorgeous. There was even a chaise longue on it, which made Wei Yu extremely envious.

Si Muqin sat on the chaise longue with her eyes closed, resting. Wei Yu sat on the bench on the left, which was covered with thick cushions and was very comfortable to sit on. Lin Su stood and served him.

The carriage was shaking, but Lin Su was standing there without shaking at all, showing that he had a very strong grip on the road.

Wei Yu got up early and didn't have time to eat breakfast. Looking at the delicious food on the coffee table, his stomach kept rumbling.

"Eat." Si Muzhen raised her eyes slightly and said, "I'm afraid others will think I'm being harsh on the palace maids and not even giving them a full meal."

Lin Su moved all the food in front of Wei Yu and made her a cup of hot tea.

Wei Yu ate all the food in one go without any hesitation, leaving not even a crumb of pastry. It was not that she was greedy, but the pastries here were too exquisite and the quantity was too small.

Si Muzhen saw this and started talking again.

"Is this how your general's mansion taught you etiquette?" Si Muzhen looked disdainful.

"Personal behavior, please don't bring it up to the family, thank you."

Si Muzhen chuckled, closed his eyes, and was too lazy to look at her.

However, an unexpected incident occurred again. Perhaps she ate too quickly or something, but she started to feel carriage sick.

My stomach was cramping wildly, a feeling of nausea surged into my chest, and I was saliva-ing continuously, as if there was something stuck in my throat.

At that time, her face was pale and cold sweat was dripping down her forehead.

"Excuse me, please... do you have a plastic bag? I need to vomit."

Si Mu's face was full of black lines, "Why are you so troublesome?"

Although he scolded me, he was faster than anyone else in helping to open the car window curtains.

With the fresh air coming in, Wei Yu felt relatively less uncomfortable.

Si Muzhen said nothing, she just picked up Wei Yu and placed him on the chaise longue.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just afraid you'll vomit dirty on me."

Everything that happened today made Wei Yu have a big change in his opinion of Si Muzhen.

He is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, just like Private Equity Day, they are indeed brothers.

Soon they arrived at the Fengxian Imperial Palace.

Civil and military officials, as well as palace guards, had already lined up on both sides to welcome the emperor. When the carriage curtain was opened, a shadowy figure rushed out of the carriage, ran to the corner and held onto the wall, making vomiting sounds all around.

Wei Yu really couldn't hold it in any longer. The feeling of being pushed on the back by the carriage stopping caused the contents of her throat to burst out. She didn't care about anything else and jumped out of the carriage before Si Muzhen.

The officials stood there in a daze, and those who wanted to kneel or not were in a dilemma.

After vomiting, Wei Yu did not forget to look at the surrounding environment. Great, thousands of people were watching him vomit.

It's really too social.

She pulled down the eunuch's hat, covering her face tightly. She was determined not to let the vest fall off, as she still wanted to save face.

Si Muzhen stood behind the carriage curtain, veins etched on his forehead, and gnashed his teeth as he said, "Nothing good ever comes of meeting her."

Lin Su was stuck in the spot, wondering whether he should lift the curtain or not. Also, how was he going to deal with this matter?

It really was going to kill him, Lin Su felt miserable.

"Go and deal with Wei Yu's matter first."

With Si Muzhen's permission, Lin Su got off the carriage tremblingly.

"Ahem..." Lin Su cleared his throat tactically. "This young eunuch is the Emperor's new food inspector. I just tested the Emperor's snacks and found something that was incompatible with him. That's why he has these symptoms. I hope everyone will forgive me."

A minister stepped out and said, "Then the emperor is alright."

"I'm fine." Si Muzhen then got off the carriage.

"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

Everyone knelt in unison, the sound echoing through every corner of the palace like a self-contained reverberation. Wei Yu was deeply shocked by this scene. It was far more shocking than any large-scale group performance she had ever seen.

Only then did she truly feel that she was living in a feudal society with highly centralized imperial power.

And the one in front of him is the true supreme ruler, who holds the power of life and death over everyone.

She unconsciously stepped back until she hit the wall behind her.

She went home first, and at this moment she admitted that she wanted to escape.

But Si Muzhen didn't give her a chance.

Si Muzhen walked up to her, took her wrist, and walked up the stairs to the gate of Fengxian Imperial Palace step by step.

Wei Yu turned to look at Si Muzhen's sculpted profile, as if everything around him had come to a standstill. The heat coming from his wrist was surprisingly intense.

"Everyone is safe."

When Wei Yu came to her senses, Si Muzhen had already let go of her hand.

The Fengxian Emperor Hall enshrines the emperors of Dasi throughout the dynasties. Si Muzhen kneels on the cushion in the middle to pay homage to his ancestors.

"Today is the coming-of-age ceremony for Si Muchu, the twelfth-generation grandson of Da Si. I hope all the ancestors will witness it together." Si Muchu personally inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Lin Su: "Prince Ning's coronation ceremony begins now~~"

Four officials from the Ministry of Rites came in one after another carrying trays. One of them had a basin of clean water on his tray, one had a plain hairband on his tray, one had a black crown on his tray, and the last one had a pure gold hair crown inlaid with blue and green, which was extremely gorgeous.

"Prince Ning has arrived~~"

Si Muchu, with her hair half-laid down and wearing a boy's uniform, walked slowly towards her from a distance.

Lin Su picked up the imperial edict and read it in a sonorous voice: "What makes us human is etiquette. The beginning of etiquette lies in straightening our appearance, harmonizing our complexion, and smoothing our speech. When appearance is straight, complexion is harmonious, and speech is smooth, then etiquette is complete. It is to establish order between ruler and minister, closeness between father and son, and harmony between elder and junior. When ruler and minister are in order, father and son are close, and elder and junior are harmonious, then etiquette and morality are established."
