Xiang Huayue originally wanted to use the excuse of giving these jewels to find out whether Minglang had any feelings for General Han. However, the moment she saw Minglang pick up the crown, Xiang Huayue's mind was only filled with the image of her granddaughter dressed up for the occasion.

General Han and General Li can all stand aside. The most important thing is her baby Minglang’s coming-of-age ceremony.

"This red jade headdress is the favorite of Grandma Huang. It's perfect for a child your age. Let's wear this after the ceremony tomorrow. The others are too old-fashioned and unsuitable for Mingliang."

In this matter, Minglang had no choice but to obey. As long as the Empress Dowager was happy, she had no objection and could wear any kind of headgear.

"Are you free this afternoon, Minglang? If you are, try on your clothes later."

Dozens of matching methods appeared in Xiang Huayue's mind. With her many years of experience in leading trends in and outside the palace, she had the confidence to make Minglang the most dazzling girl of the day.

Tomorrow is not only the coming-of-age ceremony, but also the grand enthronement ceremony. She has been waiting for this day for a long time.

When Minglang is no longer Prince Bao but is granted the title of Princess, she wants to see what those dissatisfied ministers dare to say.

"Minglang always listens to Grandma Huang."

The Imperial Household Department also acted quickly. Just as Xiang Huayue had picked out the first set of matching jewelry, the Imperial Household Department delivered all the gorgeous clothes.

"Your servant greets the Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness Prince Bao. All the finery Your Highness will wear tomorrow is here. Your Highness, please try it on first. If anything doesn't fit, we will alter it."

His bright eyes swept over the gorgeous clothes that were sent to him, and they were indeed all of elegant and dignified colors and patterns.

Minglang had a set of red jade headdress that the Empress Dowager had just matched for her at hand. At first glance, she didn't know which set of gorgeous clothes to match with it.

"I remember that at the enthronement ceremony, His Majesty prepared a set of magnificent dark gold robes. The color was bright and elegant, and it matched this red jade headdress very well."

The reason why His Majesty rejected the dark gold-colored dress was simply because time was tight and the dress was a little small and difficult to alter.

"I also remember there was a set of gorgeous black-golden robes. Your Majesty had never worn them and they had been carefully stored in the storeroom. Dozens of embroiderers took half a year to make them, and after fumigating them with incense, they still looked as good as new."

This traditional old handicraft will be fine for decades as long as it is properly preserved.

"Then I'll bring it over for Your Highness to try on after I've burned the incense. I had the Imperial Household Department make that dress back then, but I didn't expect it to be too small for your mother. You'll know once it's here."

Minglang agreed with a smile. She had the same idea about these beautiful clothes: as long as they were chosen by the Empress Dowager, they would definitely be the most suitable for her.

"Yes, yes, I'll get it right away."

In just a short while, the side hall of the Cining Palace was filled with all kinds of jewelry and gorgeous clothes.

Seeing that it was going to be very late tonight, Minglang quietly put away the books on the small table.

This book is more valuable than all the jewelry and fine clothes in this room.

Xiang Huayue saw Minglang putting the book away. She glanced at it and recognized the handwriting on the cover.

"This is?"

Minglang turned around and saw Grandma Huang staring at the book in her hand in a daze, so he took the initiative to hand the book to Grandma Huang.

"This is the military manual that the old Duke gave me yesterday. I've been reading it for the past two days."

Xiang Huayue took a quick look and found that it was indeed written in her father's notes, most of which were about things on the battlefield.

"This book has really benefited me a lot. I accidentally read it late yesterday and I still feel a little tired when I woke up this morning."

Minglang jokingly told the Empress Dowager about the scene in which the Empress Mother looked at him this morning.

"Perhaps the bruise on my eye was too obvious at the time, which made the Queen Mother worried."

Xiang Huayue knew what was going on as soon as she heard it.

"No more from now on. There are so many good books in the world. You can't finish reading them all by staying up late. Your future is too long to be in a hurry."

After returning the book to Minglang, Xiang Huayue watched Minglang walk to the desk with the book in his arms and put the book in the cabinet. Her guesses and conjectures about His Majesty over the past few days finally came to fruition.

It's not about having romantic feelings at all, it's obvious that he is studious and ambitious.

"Okay, come over here now that you've put your things away. Come and try these on first."

Minglang spent the entire afternoon trying on clothes in the room. The ceremony only lasted one day, and the Empress Dowager had prepared seven sets of gorgeous clothes for her.

If it weren't for the fact that the sun was getting darker, Minglang felt that the next set was already waiting for her.

"Let's stop here for today. Get some rest tonight. You still have to go to Xuande Hall early tomorrow morning."

Minglang still has to go through the motions in front of the Xuande Hall early tomorrow morning. Fortunately, her mother has cancelled the morning court tomorrow, otherwise she would have been busy early tomorrow morning.

"Yes, Grandma Huang, take care."

After everyone left, Minglang leaned against the Arhat bed, looking at the gorgeous clothes and jewelry that filled the room, feeling that his eyes were almost blinded by the dazzling scene.

"Take them all off first. I'll wear the dark gold suit tomorrow morning."

Minglang raised her hand to signal these people to leave first. She was tired of trying on clothes, which was even more tiring than practicing martial arts.

After everyone left, she leaned on the Luohan bed and fell asleep unknowingly.

When I woke up, it was still dark outside.

"What time is it?"

Minglang supported himself on the Arhat bed with his hands and slowly sat up. He slept very comfortably.

"Your Highness, it's midnight. The kitchen has come twice to ask if Your Highness is awake. If he is, they will bring the meal over."

I had a good sleep and felt a little hungry.

"Then serve the meal."

The food cooked in the small kitchen was always her favorite, and the table was filled with exquisite small plates.

After Minglang had a hearty meal, he was no longer sleepy. After rinsing his mouth and washing his hands, he stood up and walked to the desk. He took out a book and found a secluded place in the backyard to read in peace.

"Your Highness, His Highness has woken up and gone to the backyard to read."

Tomorrow is Minglang's coming-of-age ceremony. For some reason, Xiang Huayue is so excited that she can't sleep.

She had witnessed such a scene once before. Her daughter was the first princess in the world and now she was the common ruler of the world. The whole world belonged to the king.

Her granddaughter will soon be named the second princess of Daxia in accordance with the will of her mother, the queen. This dreamlike scene was something she would not have dared to imagine even in her dreams more than ten years ago.

Her Majesty has ushered in the first year of the empress's reign. Her children will inherit her aspirations from generation to generation, protect her vast territory, and uphold peace and longevity for the world.

His heart was beating so fast that he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Xiang Huayue simply got up and went to the Buddhist temple to kneel down and pray for Daxia and Minglang until dawn.

"Your Highness, it's time to wash and dress. In one hour it will be His Highness's auspicious hour."

Chun Chan came over with a bowl of refreshing tea. The queen had not slept all night, and this was all she could do.
