After a while of noise, the coming-of-age ceremony continued.
As the representative of her maternal grandfather, Mrs. Wen walked up to the stage with several maids, each of whom was holding an exquisite and luxurious plate.
She stopped beside Yan Yunshu.
He then looked at Yan Xiang's expression, which looked as if he was about to die, and taunted him, "You're so upset because you took the Liuli Villa that belonged to me and the Marquis and gave it to my granddaughter? It's as if the villa originally belonged to you!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yan Xiang was so embarrassed that he was about to go crazy.
He should not have married Wen in the first place. None of Wen's parents, brothers, or children were loved by him.
Everyone wants to fight against him!
I’m afraid he’ll lose face in front of everyone.
The infuriating thing is that he had no choice but to marry. If he didn't, without the halo of being the son-in-law of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, he would never have been valued by the emperor and climbed all the way to the position of prime minister.
At the moment, I can only endure it.
"I don't mean that."
"There is no best. Put away your inappropriate thoughts. What is yours is yours, and what is not yours will never be yours no matter how you think about it," said Old Lady Wen. She never looked at Yan Xiang again and pretended not to hear the chatter from the audience.
She gestured.
The maids placed all the jewelry and treasures covered with cloth in front of Yan Yunshu.
What shocked everyone the most was the appearance of the blood jade coral.
No one had expected that one of Tianze's three great treasures, the blood jade coral, would suddenly appear at a small coming-of-age ceremony.
They stared at the blood jade coral closely, afraid of missing a single glance.
Just kidding, if you don’t look at it now, it means you will not look at it again in your life.
"Blood jade coral, a treasure that is unique in the world!"
"I didn't expect that Madam Wen would be so willing to give up her own granddaughter!"
"Today really opened my eyes. First it was the Glazed Villa, then the Blood Jade Coral. They all said that this coming-of-age ceremony was held for the goddess, but I think it was more likely held for Yan Yunshu!"
Only then did everyone remember the neglected goddess Yan Shuyao.
In front of Yan Shuyao, the pair of exquisite mutton-fat jade ornaments were already treasures that dazzled everyone's eyes.
But it can be compared with Liuli Villa and Blood Jade Coral.
This is simply dust that is completely unworthy of mention.
Yan Shuyao's eyes were slightly red and her face was full of grievance. Xu Jingye couldn't bear it, so he took out his prince's jade pendant and walked in front of her under Yan Shuyao's burning gaze.
"In the coming-of-age ceremony of our Tianze Kingdom, people other than relatives are not allowed to give gifts. However, I, Xu Jingye, am the eldest prince of Tianze Kingdom. All the people are relatives of our royal family. Today, I also come to give a gift to the goddess of our Tianze Kingdom to show our royal family's respect for her."
As soon as the words fell, Yan Yunshu sneered.
Ridiculous, the royal family is close to the people? Respect?! Bullshit!
Xu Jingye, your ability to talk nonsense really surprises me.
When Xu Jingye was about to give the jade pendant representing the supreme imperial power to Yan Shuyao.
When the coming-of-age ceremony just started, the official from the Ministry of Rites who quietly entered the banquet hall hurriedly shouted.
"Your Highness! Absolutely not!"
Xu Jingye paused and looked towards the source of the sound.
The Minister of Revenue came to the ceremonial platform with several officials and bowed deeply to Xu Jingye.
"Your Highness, the prince's jade pendant represents the imperial power. Such a solemn object cannot be given as a gift according to our Tianze etiquette."
Xu Jingye's face darkened. He lowered his voice and said, "I am going to give it to you. What's wrong with that? Do you think your small Ministry of Rites can control me?"
The Minister of Rites smiled and said, "Your Highness, this behavior is indeed against etiquette. If Your Highness insists on giving it as a gift, you can inform His Majesty after you and Miss Yan Shuyao have chosen a date for their wedding and then make the gift. By then, it will be Your Highness's family affair."
Everyone was stunned.
What?
The amount of information in this passage is not a question of whether to send it or not?
But, the Minister of Rites actually said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Yan Shuyao would choose a date for their wedding?
Xu Jingye was also stunned. He paused holding the jade pendant, unable to believe his ears.
"You, what did you say?"
The Minister of Rites smiled brightly, "Congratulations, Your Highness. Here is the Emperor's decree. I will announce it after the coming-of-age ceremony is over."
The formal ceremony is completed after combing and tying the hair.
The reason why I didn't stand up at that time was because the drama was so exciting.
They accidentally looked a little longer.
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also coming to join in the fun, he hurried out.
The royal jade pendant of Datianze represents imperial power. How can it be given away so casually? It is simply nonsense.
"Well, well..." Xu Jingye couldn't speak clearly anymore.
He was in a complicated mood, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He should have been extremely happy, as he finally married the woman he loved most in his life as his principal wife, giving the most perfect explanation to the woman who had once saved his life.
But why, when things finally came to an end, did he feel an unprecedented emptiness?
There was even a moment when he wanted to shout out loud.
His eyes were slightly red, and it was unclear whether it was due to extreme excitement or extreme depression.
He looked at Yan Shuyao.
Yan Shuyao's cat-like eyes were wide open, showing the same complex emotions as his, and also a hint of confusion that was difficult to conceal.
What's going on?
What's going on?
She looked at Yan Yunshu in disbelief. She remembered what she said that day: Now that you are a goddess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is marrying above his station.
