The Cold-Hearted Princess Who Transmigrated Here

The 16th.

This day was a very important day for the Prime Minister's residence.

The Prime Minister's residence extended a wide invitation to relatives and friends, welcoming all guests, solely to celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony of his eldest daughter.

Wang Boxing was always approachable and upright in his official duties, which is why he was deeply loved by the common people.

As a result, many merchants and bold ordinary people, upon learning that the Prime Minister's residence was going to hold a coming-of-age banquet, eagerly brought their best gifts to offer their congratulations.

Even Wang Xijie, the legitimate son, didn't have such a grand coming-of-age ceremony.

Wang Xiyue doesn't need to worry about anything today. With her parents around, she just needs to follow the rehearsed procedures and complete each instruction step by step.

Wang Boxing and Li Lingling were initially worried that their daughter might not like the complicated procedures and even considered omitting some steps. However, their daughter insisted that since it was a once-in-a-lifetime coming-of-age ceremony, every step and every gesture was necessary and there was no need to deliberately reduce the number of steps. So, the couple arranged the entire coming-of-age ceremony process step by step.

The coming-of-age ceremony begins at 3 PM.

Welcoming guests.

Just after 3 PM, the Prime Minister and his son personally greeted each guest at the door.

Inside her boudoir, Wang Xiyue had just finished bathing and was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, while her mother was combing her hair.

Li Lingling held a wooden comb and gently combed her daughter's hair from the top of her head to the ends, sighing with emotion as she did so.

“When you were little, you were always so well-behaved and quiet, unlike your brother who was always naughty. I never felt tired taking care of you. Before I knew it, you had grown up. I wish that time had passed more slowly.”

"Later, when you went to Guozhao Temple, I hoped that time would pass quickly so that I could see you sooner."

"Mom always hopes that time will pass faster so that you can come home sooner and stop being troubled by nightmares."

"Now that you're really back, your mother wishes time would slow down, but in the blink of an eye you've already reached marriageable age."

"On one hand, I'm reluctant to see you grow up, but on the other hand, I'm so glad that you've grown up, that you can stand on your own two feet, and that you can take care of yourself!"

Wang Xiyue listened quietly to her mother's detailed and fragmented story.

Yes, this is probably something every mother who loves her child will experience.

Watching your children grow up always brings a mix of feelings of loss and satisfaction.

This home is always so warm and comforting, giving her such peace of mind.

She doesn't know if she will have children in the future. If she does, she will probably feel the same way as her mother, wanting her children to grow up but also not wanting them to grow up!

"Mother, I am your daughter. No matter where I am in the future, you, Father, and Brother will always be my home."

Looking at her daughter's determined expression in the mirror, Li Lingling slowly let go of her reluctance and comforted herself, "Alright, today is Yue'er's coming-of-age ceremony. We should be happy. Let's not talk about these unhappy things anymore."

"The bad times are over, we just need to look forward to a bright future."

Li Lingling felt a great sense of accomplishment looking at her daughter's radiant appearance. Fortunately, she had been urging her daughter to take care of her skin every day for the past two months, and her complexion had finally become much fairer and smoother.

"Sit still, Mommy is going to dress my Yue'er up like a little fairy today, and amaze everyone."

"Let them all know that my daughter is unparalleled!"

Faced with her mother's praise, Wang Xiyue could only accept it helplessly, saying, "Thank you, Mother!"

Perhaps every parent who loves their children thinks their children are the best in the world!

The room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The outside was also packed with guests, bustling with activity.

After all the invited elders and important guests had arrived, Wang Boxing returned to the living room.

By the time Wang Xiyue finished dressing, it was already dusk.

Prepare to open the ceremony.

After all the other guests were seated, Wang Boqi stood up, bowed to everyone, and announced loudly, "Today, my daughter Yueyue is celebrating her coming-of-age ceremony. Thank you all for coming!"

"Now, the coming-of-age ceremony officially begins!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Xiyue walked slowly towards the light.

She wore a light pink, wide-sleeved, flowing fairy dress that reached the ground, with a bright red sash tied around her waist. The ribbons and the hem of the dress fluttered in the wind.

With her sculpted shoulders, long and graceful neck, fluid figure, and unhurried gait, she exuded elegance and extraordinary presence.

When she entered the banquet hall, everyone finally saw her face clearly.

With delicate features, a face as beautiful as a lotus, and calm, serene eyes, her brows and eyes exuded a composure rarely seen at her age.

Even with light makeup, she still exudes a quiet yet radiant beauty.

Her serene demeanor brings peace to the heart.

Many men of similar age who were not yet engaged had a determined glint in their eyes.

As the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family, she held a high position and possessed stunning looks, especially her exceptional temperament, which was truly unforgettable.

In the corner, Dongfang Yu watched the men's eager expressions and could only try his best to suppress his own violent aura.

Meanwhile, Mo Yun was genuinely afraid that the prince might lose control and smash all the men who wanted to marry Miss Xiyue to pieces.

Therefore, he had to be prepared to intervene at any time to stop the prince.

Wang Xiyue walked into the hall and bowed to the guests: "Xiyue greets all distinguished guests, and wishes you all well!"

Then he walked to the prayer cushion in the center of the banquet hall, faced his parents on the left, and knelt down to say, "Thank you for raising me, Father and Mother. You have worked so hard!"

After Wang Xiyue finished kowtowing, she remained kneeling on the prayer mat, waiting for her mother to put a hairpin on her head.

Li Lingling got up and went forward to wash her hands. Then she put a hairpin in her daughter's hair and whispered in her ear, "This hairpin was given to you by the Third Prince of Dongyang. It is carved from a rare piece of black meteorite jade."

"Although the style is simple, wearing it for a long time can nourish the mind and spirit. I can only offer it as a gift."

Then, raising her voice, she said, "As your mother, I have no teachings for you, only the wish that you be happy and healthy throughout your life!"

"Thank you, mother!"

Wang Xiyue didn't take the gift that Dongfang Yu sent with Mo Yun last time because she was in a bad mood; her brother must have opened it for her.

He gave such an expensive gift that his parents abandoned the white jade hairpin they had prepared earlier.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Yu, who was standing behind the crowd, also saw this scene and was overjoyed.

The Prime Minister's wife gave the hairpin he had given Xiyue as a coming-of-age gift. Was that an affirmation of him?

His previously agitated mood finally calmed down considerably. He didn't know if it was Xiyue's own choice or the Prime Minister's wife's idea, but as long as Xiyue could wear it, he would accept it for whatever reason.

Wang Boxing also got up and went to his wife's side, and carefully taught his daughter: "What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand."

"Only by experiencing things firsthand and observing them from multiple perspectives can one understand the origins and connections of things."

"As your father, I don't expect you to achieve great things or become wealthy in the future. I only wish that Yueyue can live a peaceful and happy life!"

After listening, Wang Xiyue kowtowed again, saying, "Although I am not clever, I dare not fail to accept your teachings! Thank you for your guidance, parents."

After her parents were seated, Wang Xiyue stood up again and began to kneel and bow to the five elderly men in the main seats of the banquet hall.

An elegantly dressed old lady slowly descended from the main seat, followed by a maid carrying a tray on which was a neatly folded bright red robe.

Some sharp-eyed locals recognized her; it turned out to be Madam Lu from the General's Mansion.

She walked to Wang Xiyue's side and gently helped her granddaughter up, saying, "Yueyue, get up."

After Wang Xiyue got up, the old lady, with the help of the maid beside her, washed and dried her hands.

Finally, she took the clothes from the tray and helped her granddaughter put them on herself. "This is a cape or outer garment that your grandmother prepared for you. It was made in a hurry and it's not very good. Yueyue, please make do with it. I will make you a better one later."

Wang Xiyue had a very good impression of her loving grandmother: "Yueyue likes her very much, thank you for your kindness, Grandma!"

The outer garment is bright red with gold thread trim, and delicate pink and yellow flowers are embroidered on the collar, cuffs, and hem. It is simple and elegant, not heavy but luxurious.

Wang Xiyue herself didn't realize it, but the guests were secretly amazed once again.

Wearing a red dress with a profusion of floral patterns, Wang Xiyue once again exuded a noble air, while also appearing beautiful and ethereal.

Madam Lu was also amazed, thinking to herself that her temperament was even better than that of the princess. While marveling at her, she did not forget to give her earnest advice: "Yueyue has grown up. She should be filial to her parents and respect her elder brother."

"Think thrice before you act, remember that?"

Wang Xiyue knelt on the prayer mat again and kowtowed to her maternal grandmother, saying, "Xiyue is deeply grateful! I will remember this forever."

Madam Lu smiled and nodded before returning to her seat.

The ceremony unfolds with power, clouds rise and spread, a magnificent and meaningful display!

Looking at the girl he liked, whose every move attracted so much attention, Dongfang Yu really wanted to hide her away so that so many people wouldn't covet her beauty.

It's a pity he's not qualified yet.

Perhaps it was because Dongfang Yu's gaze was too intense that Wang Xiyue's eyes inadvertently swept over him.

Why did this guard feel different to her than others? She had a strange urge to get closer to him.

While Wang Xiyue was stunned for a moment, an elderly woman dressed rather plainly came down from the main seat: "Yue girl."

Wang Xiyue suddenly came to her senses, knelt down and kowtowed again, saying, "Grandmother, your granddaughter greets you. For so many years, I have been away from home and have not been able to visit you in time. I hope you will understand!"

Before Wang Xiyue was nine years old, her father would take time every year to take them back to visit her grandparents. But after she fell ill, her father seemed to have stopped going back, and she hadn't seen them for a very long time.

My grandparents both love a down-to-earth life and can't leave their hometown. So they have been working in remote mountainous areas. Naturally, they don't have a life of luxury. So the two old people are just as simple and unpretentious as ordinary farmers.

Today, they only wore new clothes that they rarely wear once a year because it was their coming-of-age ceremony.

They did not abandon everything from the past just because their son became the prime minister of a country. They continued to be honest and hardworking farmers, always making a living by cultivating the land.

Wang Xiyue actually admires their lifestyle of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Grandma Guo affectionately pulled her granddaughter to her feet and gently scolded her, "It's alright. Grandma knows you're thinking of us. I'm just happy that you're all safe and sound. You can come visit us whenever you have free time!"

"Xiaoyue has grown into a beautiful young lady, and Grandma is very happy!"

"Grandma knows you've endured a lot to grow up, but that's life—you have to suffer a lot."

"No one can have everything go smoothly all the time."

Life is about experiencing all the flavors – the sweet, the sour, the bitter, and the spicy.

"Don't be afraid when you encounter difficulties. With the support of family and friends, you can overcome them."

"A person, as long as their heart is pure, will have nothing to fear!"

"This is a hairpin that Grandma bought. Here, try it on and see if it fits."

Wang Xiyue quickly bowed her head in agreement, "Thank you for your instructions, Grandmother! You've gone to so much trouble, but I really like it."

This is a gold hairpin, simple in design and not particularly exquisite.

But Wang Xiyue knew that for ordinary people, gold was the most precious item, and giving gold was the highest-level gift they could receive. She was grateful for her grandmother's kindness.
