Chapter 104 The crowning ceremony is completed

The venue for the coronation ceremony was solemnly decorated. A red carpet stretched from the entrance to the altar, with flowers and candles placed along the way, creating a sacred and solemn atmosphere. The altar stood tall, surrounded by a railing intricately carved. Hanging around were banners symbolizing family honor, fluttering in the wind, showcasing the Ji family's glorious history and heritage. A faint fragrance drifted with the autumn breeze, permeating the air and adding a touch of mysterious ritual to this important moment.

Gu Yichen, dressed in a gorgeous gown, stood at the altar, feeling a surge of nervousness. He knew today's coronation ceremony wasn't just a simple ritual; it was a symbol of his growth. He was about to bid farewell to his youth and become a true adult, shouldering greater responsibilities and obligations. He took a deep breath, calming himself and preparing for the challenges ahead.

Ji Yun slowly stepped onto the altar, his steps steady and powerful, as resolute as Mount Tai. His face was solemn, his eyes piercing like an eagle, scanning every person present. His gaze was firm and confident, emanating the majesty of a superior, making it difficult to look directly at him. As he reached the center of the altar, the entire audience fell silent, with only the gentle sound of the autumn breeze as if accompanying him. Ji Yun's voice was steady and solemn, like a bell, echoing throughout the venue. He said, "Thank you all for coming here today to witness the coming-of-age ceremony for the sons of the Ji family. This is not only a significant moment in their journey into adulthood, but also the beginning of their responsibility to their families and country. The coming-of-age ceremony symbolizes the obligations and responsibilities of adulthood. From now on, they will no longer be children solely dependent on their parents, but men capable of independently shouldering the responsibilities of their families and country." The audience listened in silence, the atmosphere remarkably solemn, as if time had stood still.

Ji Yun paused for a moment and continued, "Please ask Master Ji Huaide to crown Gu Yichen and Ji Junche. This crown is made of black cloth, symbolizing that they are now qualified to participate in government affairs. Gu Yichen and Ji Junche, please pay your respects to Master Ji Huaide."

Gu Yichen and Ji Junche, both with serious expressions, walked towards Ji Huaide with steady steps. Arriving before Ji Huaide, they bowed respectfully and solemnly, expressing their respect and reverence for him. Ji Huaide looked at the two young men before him, his eyes filled with kindness and satisfaction. He raised his hand slightly, motioning for them to stand. Then, he personally placed the black cloth crowns on Gu Yichen and Ji Junche's heads. The moment the black cloth crowns fell, it signified that they had officially entered the realm of government, beginning to shoulder the heavy responsibility of serving the country and its people.

Ji Huaide then spoke again, "Now, I will crown Gu Yichen and Ji Junche again. This time, it's a leather cap, symbolizing your responsibility to defend your country and your readiness to dedicate yourselves to it." His voice was steady and powerful, as if carrying the rich heritage and rich history of his family. Gu Yichen and Ji Junche saluted Ji Huaide again, expressing their gratitude. As the leather caps were slowly placed on their heads, they felt the burden on their shoulders grow heavier, for from now on, they would have to bravely face the challenges of life as grown men.

"Next, it's time for the third crowning," Ji Huaide's voice echoed. "This time, it's the plain crown. It signifies that from this moment on, you can participate in the sacrificial ceremony and become an indispensable part of your family, nation, and clan." When the plain crowns fell on Gu Yichen and Ji Junche's heads, the entire audience was deeply moved by this solemn and sacred scene. Everyone applauded, offering their most sincere blessings to these two promising young men.

As the ceremony entered its final climax, Ji Huaide smiled, his eyes gently fixed on his two great-grandsons, and then he slowly said, "Today, I will give you a name. I hope you can take this as an encouragement and keep making progress." His voice was steady and powerful, as if carrying an irresistible majesty.

As a member of the Imperial Academy during the Tianqi Dynasty and a great scholar of the time, Ji Huaide's gift of a calligraphy was undoubtedly extremely significant. Everyone present was well aware of this, so they held their breath and waited quietly for this moment to arrive.

Ji Huaide raised his hand slightly, pointing at Gu Yichen first, and said in a calm and firm tone: "Gu Yichen, I give you the word 'Mingzhe'. May you always keep a clear mind in your future life, understand the world, and not be confused by the outside world's noise." Then, he looked at Ji Junche, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and continued: "Ji Junche, I give you the word 'Zimo'. May you keep books as your companions, put morality first, and become a person of knowledge and moral character in your future life."

As Ji Huaide finished speaking, the entire hall erupted in applause. Gu Yichen and Ji Junche respectfully bowed to Ji Huaide, thanking him and promising to remember their great-grandfather's teachings. Their eyes were filled with anticipation and longing for the future, a sign that they had officially entered adulthood, ready to face the challenges of society independently.

In the audience, Ji Yun and Gu Yazhu watched their two sons on stage with tears in their eyes. Their hearts surged with endless emotion and pride, for they had witnessed their children grow from immaturity to maturity. Now, they had become independent men, shouldering the honor and responsibility of their family.

With the ceremony over, Gu Yichen and Ji Junche, in accordance with traditional etiquette and customs, invited the guests to the banquet venue that had already been arranged. There, a grand celebration was about to begin, and everyone would share this joy together.

Ji Yun helped the elderly Ji Huaide off the stage, and Ji Jinghang followed closely behind, carefully protecting his father as if he were a precious and fragile item.

Gu Yazhu took her two daughters aside and whispered, "Take advantage of this opportunity to persuade Gu Yichen and ask him to explain everything to Ling'er as soon as possible. Don't let the misunderstanding get bigger and bigger." Yun Ruoxi and Yun Ruolin disagreed. They exchanged sly glances with each other, like two little foxes.

Yun Ruolin chuckled softly and said, "Mother, why don't we just wait and see what happens? Third brother brought this trouble upon himself." "Yes, mother," Yun Ruoxi agreed, "At a time like this, we as his sisters shouldn't easily intervene. What if Third Brother manages to handle it himself?"

Gu Yazhu sighed helplessly, knowing that her two daughters' love of watching the fun was like a flame, and it would not change in a short time. She could only urge them, "You two, stop causing trouble all the time. Forget it, it seems I will have to help later. It will still be up to your third brother to resolve the situation on his own."
