Shen Qinghe walked into the ancestral temple.
There are countless memorial tablets here.
From bottom to top, the ancestral temple was almost filled.
Shen Qinghe looked at them one by one.
"The throne of King Ning Yi!"
"The throne of King Ning Bai!"
"The throne of King Ning Ling!"
“…”
These are the posthumous titles of the Ning kings of all dynasties.
Most of them are good.
As a prince, he naturally has a posthumous title.
However, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for the evaluation.
Finally, it was submitted to Emperor Feng for approval and bestowal.
For example, the posthumous title of the old King Ning was [Lie].
Therefore, those who have made contributions to pacify the people are called "lie", and those who have achieved merit through military force and have been virtuous and respected in their careers are called "lie".
Lie is also a recognition of the old King Ning's life!
Continue walking inside.
Then I saw more than ten bronze tripods placed everywhere.
There are seal characters painted on it.
It is antique and majestic.
Shen Qinghe looked at him with respect on his face.
As the saying goes, achievements are recorded on tripods and bells, while names are recorded on bamboo slips. In Dafeng, the tripod not only symbolized status but also highlighted the achievements of a clan. For example, the Eight Great Families of Chang'an all received tripods from the emperor.
Unless you have made great achievements, you will not be awarded the tripod!
There are a total of sixteen tripods in Prince Ning’s Mansion!
"This is a four-legged square tripod. The late emperor gave it to my father after he recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. This belonged to my great-grandfather, who quelled the rebellion in Bashu and expanded the territory of the Southwestern Yi..."
Ning Que knew them all like the back of his hand.
These bronze tripods are the achievements of Prince Ning’s Mansion!
Shen Qinghe wrote them all down.
She continued forward.
There is a statue in the middle of the ancestral temple.
Wearing armor, he sat on the throne.
The sword is held upright in front of him, with both hands on the hilt.
Sharp edges and corners, eyes looking straight ahead.
"This is the ancestor of Prince Ning's Mansion."
"Accompanying Emperor Gaozu in his campaigns."
"He saved the emperor three times and performed great deeds many times."
"With three thousand black armors, we defeated an enemy force of one hundred thousand."
Shen Qinghe nodded thoughtfully.
Then light long incense and kowtow respectfully.
"Okay, let's go."
Ning Que smiled and stretched out his hand.
There will be a formal worship ceremony on the wedding day.
These are all long-standing traditions.
"Uncle Shou, it hasn't been easy for you these past few years."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind."
Shou Bo hunched over and said seriously, "Our lives all belong to the palace, and my duty is to protect the ancestral home. This is what I should do, not worth mentioning."
"Well, then let's follow the rules."
"Hold a banquet to entertain the elderly people over fifty in Jingyang."
"I have informed you of this a few days ago."
Shou Bo bowed and saluted.
He has always done things flawlessly.
I have been in the palace for decades and have never made a mistake.
He has always been guarding the ancestral home.
Keep the ancestral home in good order.
Although there are few people staying here on a normal day, the rooms are cleaned and tidied every day, and there are also dedicated people to tend to the flowers, plants and trees.
"Prince, Princess, this is the bedroom."
Shen Qinghe looked inside.
It is quite spacious and luxurious inside.
Many jade articles are placed on the wooden cabinet.
The tripod stove was burning with charcoal, making it much warmer.
There are carved beams and painted buildings, as well as many lacquerwares.
"You are too extravagant!"
"This is actually quite small." Shou Bo said respectfully, "These jade, gold, and lacquerware... were all gifts from successive emperors."
"Understood."
Shen Qinghe nodded thoughtfully.
No one would dare to sell something given by the emperor.
This is a great disrespect to the emperor.
Over time, that's all there is to it.
"Okay, Uncle Shou, go and get busy first."
"Let's take a break."
"promise."
Shou Bo nodded respectfully.
When he left, he asked his servant to wait at the door.
At the same time, close the door gently.
Try not to make any noise.
This is actually his habit.
“I’m so tired…”
Shen Qinghe slumped on the bed.
His originally reserved demeanor suddenly relaxed.
"Why do I feel like this is more tiring than fighting a war?"
"You don't have to be like this." Ning Que sat next to her and chuckled, "We're at home, do whatever you want."
"That won't work."
"how?"
"I am now the mistress of the palace."
"Ha ha."
Ning Que couldn't help but smile.
She didn't know much about these etiquettes.
But he is willing to learn for Ning Que.
"You don't have to worry too much."
“Just do what needs to be done.”
"You are the mistress of Prince Ning's mansion. Even if you return to Chang'an to attend a banquet in the future, only the noble ladies will comply with your wishes. No one can say anything bad about you."
Just have the necessary manners.
There's no need to be too pretentious.
"That won't do."
"Okay, just don't get too tired."
Ning Que smiled.
Then looked outside the door.
"Xing'er, go prepare some dessert."
"promise!"
"You take a rest here, I'll go take a look."
"good."
Shen Qinghe nodded obediently.
…
The palace was very busy.
The servants were all moving tables.
Because the guests were all family, they didn't use the separate dining system like in the palace, but instead used a special eight-person table. Elderly people had gradually arrived, and they all volunteered to help.
They are all related to the Ning Wang Mansion.
Since they are family, naturally we have to help with the work.
"Your Majesty!"
"The prince is here!"
Ning Que smiled and waved at them.
Several people came over.
"Your Majesty, you will make great contributions in the Northern Expedition!"
"We all heard about your destruction of Dragon City."
