Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Chapter 432: Coming of Age 2

After the worship, they would leave and go to Wenhua Hall to prepare for Song Jinxiu's coming-of-age ceremony.

In order to give Junjun time to observe, Song Jinxiu pulled His Majesty's sleeve.

"Father, as a sign of piety, we should wait until the incense has burned out before leaving. I will also light another stick of incense for Mother."

Liu Renxiu looked at the little hand pulling his sleeve, and his heart softened: "Okay."

Song Jinxiu burned incense, prayed, and offered incense again.

This time, the smoke from the cigarette was extremely peaceful, just like the Empress's personality.

Just now, both His Majesty and my own incense seemed a little impatient. It was the same fragrance, there was no wind, and there was no difference between dry and wet. Why did the character of the fragrance become different?

At this moment, Junjun said, "Master, this ancestral hall does indeed contain a sacrificial formation."

Song Jinxiu narrowed her eyes, "What do you mean?"

Junjun said: "First of all, there is something wrong with the dragon spitting beads that the master saw. Secondly, each emperor's tablet is arranged according to the sacrificial formation."

Xiaobai also hurriedly said: "Meow meow meow, master of the master, the sacrifices here are so strange. Your ancestors cannot receive your sacrifices because they are no longer here."

Junjun explained, "Xiaobai means that the men of the Liu family have dragon energy in their bodies, and after they die, their souls are sucked away along with the dragon energy."

Xiaobai: "Meow meow meow, I don't know if they were sucked away. But they can't receive these offerings."

Xiaobai meowed twice more, "I only saw a group of bound women. It was the weak Golden Phoenix power within them that barely maintained the Royal Luck Disk."

Song Jinxiu frowned, she didn't understand.

Junjun is a divine beast, and Xiaobai is a Persian cat with heterochromia. What they see, I cannot see even if I open my golden eyes.

She frowned and asked, "If there are ghosts, there is no way I can't see them."

Junjun: "If it were a ghost, the master would be able to see a few with his golden eyes, but these women are bound by the formation, and their cultivation is higher than yours, so it's normal that you can't see them."

Song Jinxiu: It’s about cultivation again.

She practiced day and night these days, and almost drained Su Mo dry several times, before she advanced to the sixth level of Qi training.

She felt that she was progressing fast enough and that building her foundation would be just around the corner!

But she didn't expect that today just one ghost would make her so depressed.

Forget it, after you reach the age of 15, you still can’t slack off!

But she still asked unconvincedly: "Could it be that both of you are highly skilled cultivators?"

Xiaobai: "Meow meow, master's master, I was born."

Song Jinxiu: ...

Song Jinxiu: "But, what do you mean by being bound by the formation? You mean they were tied up? And they can't be reincarnated? If it was the Cui family's Saintess who did it, wouldn't she only want the royal luck? Why would she embarrass someone else's wife? And what is the luck disk?"

Junjun said: "The emperor's wives are all people with phoenix destiny."

He paused and said, "The thing that binds the soul should be the golden embroidered robe. Ask your cheap father, the emperor, whether the queen was wearing the golden embroidered robe when she died. That's why their souls cannot be reincarnated."

Golden brocade dress?

Song Jinxiu casually asked Liu Renxiu, "Father, when our mother was buried, was she wearing a brocade dress?"

Liu Renxiu nodded. "Yes, this is the rule for a queen. The royal family has specially made golden crowns, golden houses, and golden clothes. Every queen in the royal family has been like this."

Junjun smacked his lips. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. I'm afraid the problem lies in this royal special gold. The royal special gold is the best tool for binding souls. One layer is not enough, how many more layers will you add?"

Song Jinxiu couldn't help but pinch her fingers again. She asked, "What about the luck disk?

Junjun explained: "As for the luck disk that Xiaobai mentioned, it is the array disk corresponding to their tablets.

This formation uses their Tianfeng fate to draw the dragon vein energy of Cangwu to replenish the royal luck.

This may also be the reason why the Liu family was able to maintain its empire even after the royal family's luck was drained away."

Song Jinxiu understood this time, this is a chain formation!

The emperor of the Liu family could not be reincarnated after his death because all the dragon energy in his soul had been sucked away.

But if the royal fortune was gone, the Liu family's kingdom might have ceased to exist long ago.

In order to prevent the Liu family's empire from perishing all of a sudden and to have someone to continue to pay tribute to them, this man used their queen.

Because the queen has the fate of a phoenix, her soul is bound by someone. After arranging the formation, she can draw on the luck of the Cangwu dragon vein to maintain the continuation of the Liu family's kingdom.

This is an attempt to squeeze the entire Cangwu dry!

Song Jinxiu glanced at His Majesty and asked, "Were the rules for the Empress proposed by the Saintess of the Cui family? Or have they been there since the founding ancestor?"

Liu Renxiu was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if it was her who proposed it, but there seems to be no record of this before. The only record of this request was indeed something that happened after the Saintess of the Cui Family. What's the matter? Did Kang Le discover something wrong?"

Song Jinxiu pondered, it seemed that this was the work of the Holy Maiden of the Cui family again?

Song Jinxiu shook her head: "It's hard to say now."

Liu Renxiu glanced at her, then turned back and ordered, "Have the Imperial Observatory investigate and find out who proposed the regulations for the Empress's funeral."

Then he said to Song Jinxiu, "Today is your coming-of-age ceremony. Let's put everything else aside for now. It won't be too late to talk about it after you come."

Song Jinxiu nodded. Now that she was the crown prince, her coming-of-age ceremony was attracting everyone's attention and could not afford to make any mistakes.

So, let’s talk about some things after today.

After returning from the ancestral hall, Song Jinxiu changed into a formal dress and went to Wenhua Hall accompanied by Su Mo.

There are two high altars in the Wenhua Hall, one is the throne of Emperor Liu Renxiu, and the other is a platform specially set up for Song Jinxiu to celebrate her coming of age.

This specification is the specification for the crowning of the crown prince.

All the officials were arranged in order in the hall. The old patriarch of the Song family, Tian Xinghua and Song Sanzhu stood at the head of the officials and were given seats.

The old patriarch's hands were sweating with excitement, and he sat straight, nervous and excited.

Outside the main hall, ceremonial processions were displayed, and the Imperial Music Bureau had a classical music band complete with chime bells, chime stones, shengs, and flutes.

Liu Renxiu sat down and waved his hand, and the wind instruments started to play.

The official start of the coming-of-age ceremony.

Song Jinxiu was the crown princess. When she came of age, the main guest was an old concubine.

The old concubine gently combed her hair and carefully inserted the hairpin into it. She sang softly: "On this auspicious day of the month, you will be wearing your first clothes. Let go of your childish ambitions and cultivate your virtue. May you live a long and healthy life and enjoy great happiness."

At this time, the old patriarch, Tian Xinghua, and Song Sanzhu were all sitting below.

Song Jinxiu stood up, bowed respectfully to her parents, and bowed deeply to thank them for raising her.

Tian Xinghua, Song Sanzhu stood up and returned the greeting. This is because Song Jinxiu is now the king.

Liu Renxiu said, "Please sit down. The grace of giving birth to a child is greater than heaven. From now on, you will be exempted from the ritual of worship."

Tian Xinghua and Song Sanzhu kowtowed to His Majesty to express their gratitude.

Eunuch Hai flicked his whisk and sang, "Princess Crown Princess, please change your clothes."

This time, Song Jinxiu changed into another set of the Crown Princess's golden silk dragon robe.

This step should have been to change into a dress and add a hairpin.

But she was the Crown Princess and the Heir to the Emperor, so His Majesty personally performed the ceremony of crowning her.

The golden hairpin was replaced with the prince's nine-feathered crown.

The emperor's crown has twelve tassels, and the crown prince's has nine.

Tassels are the jade strings hanging in front and behind the emperor's crown.

The reduction in the number of tassels not only reflects the order of hierarchy, but also implies that although the prince is in a high position, he still needs to "respect the emperor and father, and care for the people."

Song Jinxiu performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows to show her respect for the emperor and father.

At this point, the ceremony is completed!
