Mother's hands gently shuttled through her hair.

Every action is full of love.

one more time.

With each beat, she could hear her mother whispering blessings.

"May my dear, on your future journey, the winds will be faithful, the flowers will bloom, and you will be happy every year and successful in everything."

"I wish my daughter to find someone she loves, someone she can trust her love to, and a good man to grow old with."

"I wish my dear, even if you marry, to be loved for the rest of your life, to be free and unrestrained, to ride on your dreams, and to sing as you go."

"May my Shu'er..."

May my daughter...

Yan Yunshu's tears fell.

The silently flowing tears turned into uncontrollable sobs.

Her shoulders shrugged slightly.

Mrs. Wen was stunned, and the guests were also somewhat moved in their surprise.

The coming-of-age ceremony is when a girl’s hair is tied up and she is no longer ignorant.

I am saying goodbye to my youthful self and am about to get married, so I have to say goodbye to my mother.

People only remember one and not the other.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, it is rare to see a woman crying because her mother is pinning her hair.

Little did he know that among these rare women was Yan Yunshu.

Yan Yunshu, the son of a criminal, and the legitimate granddaughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

As an ordinary spectator who has nothing to do with her, I have complicated emotions towards her, including envy, jealousy, regret, and disgust for her background, which touches upon the common mother-child love among human beings.

Still, I can't help but be more tolerant of her.

No matter how bad a father's character is.

But girls are always good.

They were filled with emotion, and there was a bit of extra pity in their eyes when they looked at her.

Several other women also started crying along with Yan Yunshu.

People around asked.

It is said that when seeing this scene, I couldn't help but think of my mother.

For a moment, the atmosphere of the coming-of-age ceremony was subtly elevated to a higher level.

After the hairpin is finished.

Mrs. Wen took out a handkerchief and wiped Yan Yunshu's tears.

"My dear Shu'er has reached marriage age, but no matter where she goes or what she does in the future, I will always be her mother. No matter where we are, I will always be there for her."

"Ah."

……

The warm autumn sun shines lazily on everyone's faces.

Those crystal clear tears also flowed through Xu Jinghuai's heart.

He felt sorry for her tears, and also felt sorry for the emotions and thoughts that seemed to be hidden deep inside her.

It's hard to explain.

As he watched, he felt a chill under his eyes and reached out to wipe them.

I actually wiped away tears on one hand.

At this time, the coming-of-age ceremony had reached the gift-giving stage. He watched Yan Yunshu gradually regain her composure and even gradually smiled.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

A gentle smile appeared on his face again.

The owner of Tianxiang Tower, who was guarding His Highness, was sweating profusely over and over again.

Just because he saw the Crown Prince's tears.

He took a look, but didn't dare to look any further.

I was always worried that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that I had seen him crying, he would gouge out my eyes that had seen him cry.

He stood there trembling.

Breathing carefully.

Finally, I saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's face had returned to the same state as before.

Gentle as water, affectionate and doting.

After the gift-giving, Elder Tianze Lichang gave a long speech.

The young ladies who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony all stood on the side of the platform and listened to the instructions.

Yan Yunshu, who was listening to this long speech for the third time, was feeling a little sleepy.

Princess Fengling, who was standing beside her, suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Hmph, don't think that just because you've been in the spotlight today, you can dream of becoming the Crown Princess. You, the son of a traitor, don't deserve it!"

Yan Yunshu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

Sure enough, the comparison was still there. Even without Yan Shuyao, there was still Princess Fengling by his side.

However, these words had no harm to me at all. Normally, I didn't even want to pay attention to her.

But at the moment, this lengthy message is too boring, and I can't help but want to pay attention to it.

Then, she forced a smile on her face.

"Whether they are suitable or not, it seems that it is not the princess's turn to decide."

"You! How dare you speak to this princess like that? Aren't you afraid that I will..."

"Is the princess going to complain to the Empress?"

"Of course it is!"

"Go! Then go and file a complaint. Princess, go and cry to the Empress: How dare she say who the Crown Princess is? I, Princess Fengling, have no say."

Princess Fengling was stunned.

Yan Yunshu continued, "Let's see if the Empress wants to make the decision on behalf of the Princess and let her decide the position of Crown Princess."

"You, you, you vicious woman..."

"Princess!" Yan Yunshu put away her smile and scolded in a low voice, "I advise you, Princess, not to provoke me again. I am not the little shrimp or crab that you bully."

"Humph, you're just relying on the glory of your grandfather and think you can put yourself above me!"

Yan Yunshu sneered and stopped talking.

Princess Fengling continued, "Besides a mouth that can bewitch people, and your grandfather, what else do you, the son of a traitor, have?"

Yan Yunshu looked at Princess Fengling seriously.

In the lowest voice, he whispered in her ear and chuckled, "Besides, she's prettier than you."

These few words seemed to pierce the heart of Princess Fengling, and she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Everyone knows that this is what Princess Fengling cares about the most. When she first met Yan Yunshu on the cruise ship, she was unwilling to even give her perfunctory compliments. Later, after they entered school together, she couldn't even bear to hear others praise Yan Yunshu's beauty.

What's more, it was Yan Yunshu who said it herself.

It's simply a blatant provocation and humiliation!

Naturally, she was furious. "Yan Yunshu, just wait! This princess will make you know the consequences of offending me!"

"Okay, Princess." Yan Yunshu said, curving her beautiful peach blossom eyes and giving her her most beautiful and charming smile.

This immediately made Princess Fengling so angry that she could no longer hold herself back and walked off the stage in full view of everyone.

Seeing this, the elder who had given the message felt a little embarrassed and quickly ended it.

The coming-of-age ceremony is officially over.

Then, the master of ceremonies came on stage and was about to announce the end of the ceremony and the start of the banquet.

Suddenly, a sound was heard from the back of the guest area.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

The venue suddenly fell silent and everyone turned around to look.

Princess Fengling, who was about to walk off the stage in a huff and cry to Duke Qi, also stopped halfway.

Three officials from the Ministry of Rites came to Yan Yunshu, holding golden imperial edicts in their hands, under the gaze of everyone.

"Yan Yunshu accepted the order."

Yan Yunshu knelt on the ground, and everyone present knelt together.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: My second son, Crown Prince Xu Jinghuai, is a man of both virtue and talent, with a heart for the world. My granddaughter, Yan Yunshu, is gentle, virtuous, and kind-hearted. I hereby grant them the right to marry on the tenth day of next month. I hope they will be of one mind and heart, respect and love each other, and together support my rule and bring glory to my imperial family and my house. I decree this."

The venue was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.

Princess Fengling was even more stunned. She looked at the golden marriage certificate and then glanced at her father, Duke Qi.

He stomped his feet and ran away in a rage.

This caused the maids to follow her all the way.

Above the venue.

Yan Yunshu thanked the emperor and accepted the order, then carefully put away the marriage certificate that belonged to her in this life.

Then he looked at Xu Jinghuai in the crowd, and then glanced at He Zhixiao, whose face was full of forbearance and grievance.

What he displayed was a calmness and composure that was almost unbelievable to others in the face of such a major event.

The banquet began and the guests took their seats.

The play on the stage started.

Yan Yunshu and a group of young ladies left the venue and went to the lounge to change clothes for the banquet.

Everyone finally found an opportunity and whispered to each other.
