The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner
Chapter 288 Hairpin
In a flash, it was the day of Su Yuejian's coming of age, and the sun was exceptionally bright.
The Taifu Mansion was filled with joy and the entrance was bustling with activity. The people looked at the endless stream of guests and the ceremonial cars that seemed to be free of charge, and marveled at them.
"The coming-of-age ceremony for the daughter of the Grand Tutor has attracted most of the dignitaries in Kyoto. This is truly unprecedented!"
"The five great families, including the Duke of Zhenguo, the Duke of Yingguo, the Marquis of Dingyuan, and the Earl of Pingchang, are all here, except for the Yuan family who are not in Kyoto!"
"But it's true. Princess Minghua is now of extraordinary status. Moreover, she is a fairy-like figure. Who wouldn't want to see her beauty?"
"Hey, that looks like someone from the palace!"
The people were shocked again when they saw the palace guards and the string of ceremonial cars following behind them from a distance.
Su Lin was so busy in the Taifu Mansion that he couldn't move his feet. Listening to everyone praising Su Yuejian, the corners of his mouth were grinning with pride, reaching his ears.
A voice was heard outside the palace, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! Her Royal Highness Princess Jing'an has arrived!"
Everyone knelt and saluted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Crown Prince Xiao Chengnian brought Xiao Ningyao in.
"Get up." Xiao Chengnian said seriously.
Everyone stood up and looked at Huang Zhongsheng following behind the prince, as well as the long line of palace servants holding trays, and they were shocked.
Huang Zhongsheng shouted, "The Emperor has a reward!"
Su Lin stepped forward and bowed, "I accept the reward on behalf of my daughter Minghua."
Huang Zhongsheng opened the long gift list and read aloud,
"The Emperor rewarded Princess Minghua with a pair of jade ruyi (ruyi-shaped ornaments), twelve jadeite and white jade headpieces inlaid with kingfisher feathers, a pair of ruby and pearl headpieces, twenty boxes of gold and pearl-inlaid orchid hairpins, a pair of night-shining pearls, and ten bolts of each of the twenty-four colors of silk and brocade..."
The emperor had shown special favor to Princess Minghua at the last palace banquet, and now the coming-of-age ceremony was even more generous.
The gift list was read for a long time, and everyone was jealous.
Huang Zhongsheng slowly closed the gift list and handed it to Su Lin.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Long live the Emperor!"
Su Lin just stood up and was about to ask the servants to take the reward, Xiao Ningyao smiled slightly.
"Master Taifu, don't be impatient."
Yao Cai took two steps forward and took out another gift list, "The Queen has a reward!"
Looking at the gift list in Yaocai's hand, it was no less long than the one in Huang Zhongsheng's hand just now.
Everyone wiped the sweat from their foreheads, their eyes filled with envy.
Princess Minghua's coming-of-age ceremony actually attracted rewards from both the Emperor and the Empress. What an honor! ! !
Yao Cai finally finished reading the long list of gifts. Su Lin had just finished paying his respects when he heard Xiao Chengnian say,
"The gifts from this palace and Jing'an are in the back. There's no need to read them out. Just give them directly to the Grand Tutor."
Upon hearing this, everyone stretched their necks and looked at the dozen or so limousines outside, their eyes widened!
Su Lin bowed in thanks, "On behalf of my daughter, I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
After saying this, he led the two of them to the upper seat.
I had just taken two steps when the announcement came from outside the door again.
"The Prince Regent has arrived!"
As soon as everyone sat down, they immediately stood up and knelt to salute, "Greetings, Lord Regent."
Butler Xu, standing at the gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, looked at the two endless rows of ceremonial cars brought by the Regent, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He still remembers vividly the 699 cartloads of betrothal gifts that the Regent gave.
How can there be so many limousines for a coming-of-age ceremony?!
The palace maid took out another longer gift list.
Everyone knew without a doubt that such a generous reward must belong to the Regent.
No wonder Master Kong Hui said that Princess Minghua is a lucky star with a good life!
These rewards come one after another, none of the noble ladies in Kyoto have ever received such treatment!
Su Lin was busy expressing his gratitude, standing up and bowing, standing up and bowing, wishing he could install a folding switch on his waist.
The generals and officials in the palace looked at the red ceremonial car and felt their eyes turn red.
Looking at Su Lin who kept thanking him, my heart was filled with envy!!
What a pity that Su Yuejian is not my daughter!!!
Su Lin led the Regent, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Princess to the high seats in the hall.
After everyone was seated safely, Su Lin was just about to take a break.
"His Royal Highness Prince Gong has arrived!"
A notification sounded outside the door, and the noisy hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at each other in shock and confusion.
Prince Gong???
The news of Xiao Chengchang's misconduct towards Su Yuejian at the palace banquet had already spread throughout Kyoto, and it was also well known that Xiao Heng had crippled Prince Gong's leg.
On the day of Princess Minghua's wedding, why did the Imperial Tutor's Mansion invite Prince Gong?
Isn't this causing trouble for yourself?
Su Lin's face darkened, and his joy disappeared in an instant.
Xiao Chengnian was also stunned, noticing the strange atmosphere around him. He glanced at Xiao Heng who was sipping tea calmly beside him. For some reason, he felt uneasy.
Ye Zong pushed Xiao Chengchang into the mansion, but Xuan Yu stopped them at the door.
"Your Highness, please show us the invitation."
Xiao Chengchang's brows were filled with displeasure and his eyes were cold.
What the hell are you, you dog slave!
He's a prince! Why would he need an invitation to visit a minister's house?!
Xuan Yu stood at the door with a determined attitude.
The officials and guests in the mansion were as quiet as chickens, afraid of getting involved in this mess by speaking up, and they only peeked in from time to time.
Xiao Chengchang's face darkened even further, "This face of mine is an invitation."
Xuan Yu looked at him carefully. After just a few days of not seeing him, Xiao Chengchang's face seemed like a completely different person.
His former handsomeness and gentleness were gone, and instead his eyes and eyebrows were filled with femininity. Even though he was dressed in fancy clothes, it was difficult to hide his sallow and haggard look.
Xuan Yu's gaze moved down and stopped at his broken leg, and his eyebrows moved slightly.
Xiao Chengchang looked at Xuan Yu's inquiring eyes, and anger suddenly rose in his heart, his brows knitted into a ball.
"How dare you! Who are you to look at me like that?"
"Someone come!——Why don't you..."
"What's the fuss about?"
The woman's sharp scolding was heard.
Xiao Chengchang's expression paused, and he turned his head abruptly, meeting the cold eyes of Princess Yongqing Xiao Tan, and his eyes trembled.
When everyone saw the newcomer, they immediately knelt down and saluted, "Greetings to Princess Yongqing."
Princess Yongqing glanced at everyone and said in a dignified voice, "Everyone, stand up."
Everyone looked at Princess Yongqing's stern face and dared not breathe.
Princess Yongqing is the Empress Dowager's only daughter and the eldest sister of the current emperor. She has been the most favored princess since the late emperor was alive. Even the Regent Xiao Heng has always respected her.
It was already unusual that he spoke up for Su Yuejian at the palace banquet that day, but I didn’t expect that he would come to attend the coming-of-age ceremony today!
The minister's daughter's coming-of-age ceremony was attended by all important figures, and everyone was shocked and curious.
The Grand Tutor is the Crown Prince's mentor, Princess Jing'an has always been close to Princess Minghua, and the Prince Regent is engaged to Princess Minghua, so of course he'd come...
But this Princess Yongqing...
Not only does she have a noble status, she is also very arrogant and has a stern face. She usually only attends palace banquets and has never set foot in any other family's banquets. No noble lady has ever caught her eye!
Today the sun really rises from the west.
Xiao Chengchang looked at Xiao Tan, frowning in confusion.
"Why is the Imperial Aunt here?"
