Chapter 284: Crown Ceremony
Feng Jiuqing lifted his robe and knelt in front of Old Lady Shen. With tears in her eyes, Old Lady Shen took the black cloth crown and put it on Feng Jiuqing, blessing him: "On this auspicious day of the month, I will wear your first clothes, abandon your childhood name, and help you become a virtuous person. I wish you a long life and great happiness."
All the officials present were silent, no one left and no one dared to say anything.
Old Lady Shen gave Feng Jiuqing a leather cap and said, "This is the month of the year. May you wear the best clothes, respect your dignity, and be prudent and virtuous. May you live a long life and receive blessings forever."
Finally, he was given a rank and blessed: "In the right year, in the order of the month. All are dressed in the best clothes. Brothers are all here to complete their virtues. The teachings of Huang and Lao are boundless, and they are blessed by heaven. 3" (1, 2, 3 are all from "Yili·Shiguanli")
Old Lady Shen looked at Feng Jiuqing wearing a crown in front of her and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty is like a cloud shining in the morning light. Jade feathers brush against the branches. I will give you the two characters Xiyu, and I wish you a smooth road ahead, with auspicious clouds leading the way and flowers blooming to welcome you." (4From the Song Dynasty anonymous "Daoyin·Secret Text Carved Jade")
"Xi Yu thanks Old Madam Shen!" Feng Jiuqing bowed in gratitude.
Old Lady Shen helped Feng Jiuqing up and said softly, "The ceremony is over."
"It seems that I have come at the right time. Come, bring up my gift. How can I not come to congratulate the Emperor of Great Yue for his coming-of-age ceremony?"
A familiar voice reached Feng Jiuqing's ears. He turned around and looked at the familiar face of the person who came. He wanted to drag the person to the corner and beat him up!
The little brat has really grown up and is not obedient at all.
The ministers were also attracted by the visitor. The visitor was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a distinguished temperament. He should not be an ordinary person.
It was a strange face, and judging from his appearance, he should be from Western Yan. But no one knew his identity and why he came to participate in the Grand Tutor's coming-of-age ceremony.
However, this man calls himself "Gu", so he is most likely a member of the royal family of Western Yan. I have never heard of any relationship between the Grand Tutor and the royal family of Western Yan. Could it be that this man is here to cause trouble?
He must be thinking his life is too long to dare to cause trouble at the Grand Tutor's coming-of-age ceremony.
The ministers were whispering to each other, and many of them looked at Wuyou with a bit of pity in their eyes. Tsk, another person from Western Yan who was ignorant of the danger.
Feng Jiuqing's eyes were gloomy. Wuyou could feel the anger in Feng Jiuqing's eyes, but he looked back at Feng Jiuqing aggrieved and innocently, as if he felt nothing.
Oh, the look in this person's eyes, it seems that there is a story between this Xiyan person and the Grand Tutor. The ministers who participated in the ceremony, and even the King of Nancheng, were suddenly possessed by the melon god and silently prepared to watch the show.
The guards quickly carried up the gifts. Boxes of gold, silver, glass, jade and precious stones sparkled in the sun, almost blinding everyone's eyes. These gifts didn't look like gifts, but more like betrothal gifts. After all, who would send more than 20 different treasures as gifts?
This man was incredibly generous. When everyone was marveling at his generosity, only Mo Ling's face darkened a little. Wasn't this the younger brother who had always been with Qingqing and whom he had rescued?
This man was clearly just an actor from Xitai Tower, how did he become a member of the royal family of Xiyan who was generous with his money? Qingqing, do you know his identity?
Wuyou unexpectedly met Mo Ling's eyes, and sparks and lightning flew when their eyes met. Even though Mo Ling didn't know Wuyou's identity, it didn't stop him from inexplicably hating this younger brother who came out of nowhere.
"I didn't know that the Emperor of Western Yan was coming, and I failed to welcome you in person. Come, please let the Emperor of Western Yan sit down!" Feng Jiuqing's tone was calm, but upon closer listening, there was a hint of gnashing of teeth in his voice.
Wuyou looked at Feng Jiuqing aggrievedly, then reluctantly bowed to Mo Ling and said, "Your Majesty, cousin, nice to meet you. I am Feng Wuyou, the Emperor of Western Yan, and I have long heard of your Majesty's great name."
Mo Ling narrowed his eyes. This man was actually the Emperor of Western Yan! He was also Aunt An He's son, his cousin. He never expected that the little wolf cub that Qing Qing accidentally saved would have such a great fortune! However, he seemed to have said that his name was Feng Wuyou. Was that the Feng he was thinking of?
Qingqing was from the Grand Tutor's Mansion, so it was normal for this little wolf cub to have some relationship with the Grand Tutor, but it was very interesting that this little wolf cub's surname was Feng. Without the Grand Tutor's permission, this little wolf cub would never dare to use Feng as his surname, so the Grand Tutor must have a close relationship with this little wolf cub.
And this little wolf cub is the new emperor of Western Yan who ascended the throne not long ago. How much does all this have to do with the imperial teacher?
"My cousin, you are too polite. Today is the Emperor's teacher's coming-of-age ceremony, so it is inconvenient for me to entertain you. I will definitely hold a banquet to entertain you another day." Mo Ling had a warm fake smile on his face, as if he really liked this cousin.
"Thank you, cousin."
The two of them are indeed cousins, with the same fake smile.
The court officials were also shocked by Wuyou's words. Most of them did not know that Wuyou was related to Feng Jiuqing, but judging from the surname of the Emperor of Western Yan and such a generous gift, the Grand Tutor must be related to the Emperor of Western Yan.
However, the fact that the emperor of Western Yan and the prime minister of Da Yue had a friendship between them is something that makes people think deeply.
Wuyou didn't say anything after he sat down, his eyes were always on Feng Jiuqing. He was sure that the person under the mask must be his Qingqing herself.
Feng Jiuqing watched the smile on Wuyou's face from the corner of his eye, and he wanted to punish the little brat even more. He was always causing trouble for him! As the emperor of Western Yan, he gave him a generous gift. Was he trying to accuse him of collaborating with the enemy?
Feng Jiuqing took a deep breath and glared at Wuyou. Wuyou sat obediently and looked at Feng Jiuqing with a smile.
The kid was still laughing, which made Feng Jiuqing even angrier. He had caused such a big mess and he still dared to laugh. If all the civil and military officials were not present and Wuyou was the emperor of Western Yan, he would definitely let Wuyou experience mixed doubles.
After the guests left, Wuyou stood up and walked to Feng Jiuqing, saying obediently: "Brother."
Feng Jiuqing supported Old Lady Shen and didn't even look at Wuyou: "The Emperor of Western Yan is joking. I don't dare to be your brother."
Wuyou followed Feng Jiuqing closely, with a well-behaved face: "Brother, I was wrong."
"The ceremony of coming of age has ended. Emperor Xiyan, please return."
In front of Old Lady Shen, Feng Jiuqing didn't want to deal with Wuyou on the spot, so he ordered him to leave with a cold face.
Old Madam Shen looked at Feng Jiuqing, then at Wuyou, and asked Feng Jiuqing silently.
Wuyou's eyes were red, with a hint of pleading on his face: "Brother, Wuyou knows he was wrong, please don't chase Wuyou away!"
Know your mistakes? Ha, this brat always admits his mistakes first, but never repents. If he believes this brat, then he must be a ghost!
"The Grand Tutor's Mansion is too small to accommodate the Emperor of Western Yan. Please go back."
Wuyou's tears flowed out, and she looked at Feng Jiuqing aggrievedly, like a young lady who was let down by a heartless man. Her eyes were full of resentment and tears.
Old Lady Shen retracted her gaze, her eyes deepened. After all, she had lived for most of her life, and she knew exactly what the emperor of Western Yan was thinking. Another emperor who liked Qingqing and wanted to be with Qingqing, but this kid was much more capable than their majesty.
She can bend and stretch and cry. If she were younger, she might be manipulated, but Qingqing seems to be as loyal as iron? That's good. The emperor is ruthless, but she can't bear to see her grandson suffer that pain again.
