Traveling through time and space
Chapter 71: Coming of Age Ceremony (1)
"Of course I'm not angry, Yuanyuan. Let's hold your coming-of-age ceremony properly. Although it's only a few days away, we can still do it. There hasn't been a wedding in our Princess's Mansion for a long time." Su Yuanyuan looked at her slightly excited mother, the Princess, and nodded, agreeing with her wishes.
"Mother, Yuanyuan has been in the princess's mansion for two days. Should she go and pay a visit to her brother?" Su Yuanyuan asked during the meal. This was etiquette, and Su Yuanyuan should ask.
Talking about her son, the mother shook her head and said, "Forget it, I won't bother him anymore."
"Has mother ever asked a doctor for my brother?"
"I've asked the imperial physician, but he couldn't explain it. Only Xiao Haizi, who used to serve him, brought him meals and cleaned for him every day." His mother shook her head. Su Yuanyuan wondered if he had a mental illness, but she didn't say anything. This was her own son. After dinner, Su Yuanyuan returned to her own courtyard. That night, Su Yuanyuan didn't stay on the roof for long. She felt sleepy and went back to rest. In the days before her coming-of-age ceremony, Su Yuanyuan was so busy that she didn't even go out. Every day someone came in to modify her clothes, but Su Yuanyuan never agreed to wear anything too flashy. She still remembered what she had said. Her mother asked her which guests she would invite. Su Yuanyuan only mentioned her teacher's wife, Lady Ge, the Duke of Anguo, and Miss Ting'er. Finally, the day arrived. After getting up early and having breakfast, Su Yuanyuan let them fiddle with her clothes. She couldn't refuse her mother's kindness, so she had to let them do whatever they wanted. Su Yuanyuan was thinking about her own thoughts and wondered how things were going with her eldest brother.
"Princess, the doorman came back and said that Madam Cai San and Madam Cai Si are here. Do you want them to enter the mansion?" Zhilin walked in a hurry.
"Why are they here? They are guests, so please invite them into the house." Su Yuanyuan was a little curious.
"Princess, Madam Li has arrived. Please go and pay your respects to the eldest princess first." Rumei came in.
"Okay, that's it," Su Yuanyuan was also impatient. Seeing that it was almost done, she stood up and walked around. She chose a simple and elegant jade hairpin and gave it to Rumei, asking her to put it on her. After looking around and making sure everything was ready, she walked out of her yard.
"Princess, there are quite a few guests coming to the mansion today."
"Didn't I just send out a few messages?" Su Yuanyuan also found that there were many strangers in the mansion, and they were polite to her.
"This is such a great opportunity to talk to the eldest princess and Princess Anle." Ruyu said. Ruyu was a maid that her mother placed in the courtyard where Su Yuanyuan lived after Su Yuanyuan entered the princess's mansion.
"Princess, the eldest princess is waiting for you at Kangyi Courtyard," Rumian said. "A lot of guests have arrived." Su Yuanyuan nodded. When she saw a young lady greeting her, she nodded again. "Princess, this is Miss Weijuan and Miss Ren."
"Greetings, Princess." The two men and the servants bowed.
"Hello, ladies," Su Yuanyuan greeted them and went to her mother's yard without stopping. She met three groups of people along the way, but Ruyu only introduced one group. Su Yuanyuan knew that this was also a person who knew how to judge people by their appearance. Su Yuanyuan smiled at everyone.
Arriving at the gate of Kangyi Courtyard, the maid came to greet her, "Princess, please come in."
"My humble wife greets Princess Anle." As soon as Su Yuanyuan stepped into the main house, the people in the house stood up and saluted.
"Ladies and ladies, please take a seat. Yuanyuan greets mother." Su Yuanyuan stepped forward to greet them.
"Yuanyuan, your master's wife has arrived. Today, I would like to trouble Master's wife Li to be the ambassador." However, there was a hint of loneliness in the words. Su Yuanyuan suddenly realized that although her mother was the eldest princess, she was not a person with perfect happiness.
"Mother, Yuanyuan has a request. Please ask mother and master's wife to be the sponsors together to witness Yuanyuan's coming-of-age ceremony and wish Yuanyuan a smooth life in the future," Su Yuanyuan didn't care about those things and saluted her mother.
"Don't you understand, child?" the mother scolded.
"Princess mother, father said that Yuanyuan is a blessed person, so Yuanyuan must be a blessed person. Yuanyuan's wish today is that mother and master's wife come together to witness Yuanyuan's coming-of-age ceremony." Su Yuanyuan looked at the people in the room, and many of them opened their mouths.
"Yes, Princess, please agree to your request." Mrs. Li also stood up.
"Princess Chang, Princess Anle, the Crown Prince is here, and Eunuch Tian is here too. Please go out and receive the imperial edict." Someone came in and replied.
"Please come in." Mother stood up, and everyone stood up.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Everyone saluted, and it turned out that the Crown Prince had indeed arrived with a group of people.
"Aunt, Imperial Sister, please excuse me." The Crown Prince, still maintaining his aloof demeanor, stepped forward and helped his aunt to her feet. "Imperial Sister, from now on, you are my biological sister." A hint of a smile appeared on the Crown Prince's stern and beautiful face.
"Your servants greet the eldest princess and Princess Anle," Eunuch Tian said with greetings.
"Eunuch Tian, please stand up. What brings you here today?" Mother stepped forward.
"In reply to the eldest princess, the emperor has sent a servant to announce his decree, and Princess Anle will receive it."
"Yuanyuan, please accept the order," Su Yuanyuan wanted to kneel down to receive the order.
"Princess, the emperor said that today is a good day for you, so you don't have to kneel." Eunuch Tian stepped forward quickly to stop her, "By the will of Heaven, the emperor decrees... The Thirteenth Princess, Gu Yuanyuan, is canonized as a legitimate princess and is recorded under the name of the late queen..." Su Yuanyuan was confused.
"Yuanyuan, why don't you thank me?" The eldest princess' mother pulled Su Yuanyuan.
"Yuanyuan thanks the emperor and thanks the prince." Su Yuanyuan saluted.
"Yuanyuan, you are my biological sister. Please go to the East Palace to visit your sister-in-law and nephews and nieces someday. I have other things to do today, so I have to leave first. These are the coming-of-age gifts that your sister-in-law and I have prepared for you. I wish you a safe and smooth life."
"Yuanyuan thanks the Crown Prince for his blessing, and wishes the Crown Prince and his wife a healthy life." Su Yuanyuan kept bowing.
"Alright, it's time for me to return to the palace. Princess Anle, these are the princess's formal attire, and those boxes contain the emperor's gifts, as well as the crown prince's."
"Thank you, Eunuch Tian, for taking the trip. Yuanyuan will go to the palace to thank my father in person someday." Su Yuanyuan said politely.
"Aunt, Imperial Sister, I will go ahead. Aunt, please stay."
"Princess, Princess Anle, I will take my leave."
"Farewell, my brother the Crown Prince."
"Farewell to the prince." Everyone shouted in unison. After seeing off the big boss, Su Yuanyuan was still confused.
"The late queen only had one crown prince, and from now on Princess Anle will be the crown prince's biological sister."
"Yes, the emperor dotes on this princess too much."
"Who says it's not? It's such a blessing."
"Yes, I heard that she had been wandering around before. I didn't expect that this pearl would finally find her own place."
"Ruyu, you and this nanny should take people to carry all the gifts to Baoyiyuan." Mother ordered.
"Princess, this is a little gift from me. I hope that in the future..." A woman came up and stuffed a box into Su Yuanyuan's maid's hand, saying auspicious words that it was free. Someone started, and then people came up one by one to offer things. Su Yuanyuan looked at her mother, and her mother nodded. Since her mother said it was okay to accept it, Su Yuanyuan accepted everyone who came.
