Now even Zhao Yi has returned. What are these grown men up to? Is Beicheng in charge? Are they all afraid of this?
"Go!"
The third uncle reached out and pushed her, motioning her to go quickly.
Lin Yuxin had no choice but to suppress her doubts and followed the old lady into the room.
Lin Yuxin was pulled by the aunt to change into a new light pink dress, which was a new model of Meili Nishang. Although it was also designed by Lin Yuxin, she knew that she would end up wearing this dress.
The old lady combed Lin Yuxin's hair into a bun with a Chinese character "굛" on it, which, paired with the pink silk dress she was wearing, made Lin Yuxin look even more beautiful and charming.
Then she put on a girl's makeup for Lin Yuxin. The old lady was very skilled in makeup. The girl in the bronze mirror was dignified and beautiful, like a finely carved jade, with a dignified appearance, a melon-shaped face with beautiful lines, long and thin eyebrows, and a pair of crystal clear eyes.
"The princess is so beautiful! She's like a fairy!"
The old lady looked at Lin Yuxin who was dressed up and praised her in surprise.
"Auntie always teases me! How can I be that pretty?"
Lin Yuxin blushed and felt a little shy. She usually had no makeup on and seldom dressed up. Plus, she had the fairy lotion, so her skin had always been in good condition, so she wasn't afraid of getting tanned or anything.
This was the second time she dressed up so formally. The first time was for the state banquet, when she entered the palace and had to dress up.
However, she is somewhat accustomed to being praised by outsiders.
"Princess, I am not talking nonsense. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen! You are beautiful and kind-hearted!"
Seeing that Lin Yuxin was shy, the old lady knew that the princess was thin-skinned, but it did not hinder her liking for the princess, so she began to praise her.
"Haha, Auntie, why are you combing my hair for me, Lord?"
Lin Yuxin smiled and changed the subject, asking tentatively.
"Haha, Princess, do you know?"
The old lady looked at Lin Yuxin in surprise and asked.
"Know what?"
Lin Yuxin was also confused by the question. What did she know?
"Princess, you will know when the time comes!"
When the old lady saw that Lin Yuxin knew it, she didn't say much and showed a mysterious smile.
Lin Yuxin thought about it but couldn't figure out why today was a special day.
After Lin Yuxin was dressed up, she was helped out of the door by the old lady.
“Xinxin!”
"Miss!"
When Lin Yuxin heard the shout, her body froze. She looked in the direction of the voice and her eyes were instantly filled with tears.
"Mother!"
Lin Yuxin took two steps at a time, walked quickly forward, hugged Zhao Hanya, and shouted while crying.
"Okay, okay, Xinxin has suffered."
Zhao Hanya couldn't hold back her tears either, she patted Lin Yuxin's back with heartache.
I haven't seen my daughter for a few months and she has lost weight!
Xiaodie beside her also had red eyes and was crying.
After the mother and daughter calmed down, Lin Yuxin let go of Zhao Hanya, wiped her tears, and asked in surprise:
"Mother, Xiaodie, why are you here?"
"Miss, the prince sent someone back in advance to pick up the maid and the servants for your coming-of-age ceremony today. The prince said that on such an important day for you, how could you not have any relatives around you?"
"So I sent someone back to pick up the 꽬人 and the slave girl. The 꽬人 and I just arrived this morning. We hurried all the way here for fear of missing the time."
Xiaodie quickly explained with red eyes.
Xiaodie looked at the young lady's obviously thinner face and felt distressed. She felt that the young lady must be having a hard time here.
"At the age of 15?"
That's right! Her coming-of-age ceremony. Oh, look at my brain. I forgot such an important thing.
"You little girl! I'm afraid you have even forgotten your coming-of-age ceremony!"
Zhao Hanya wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Lin Yuxin's confused face, tapped Lin Yuxin's head in an unhappily, and said.
"Hey! You forgot because you were so busy!"
Lin Yuxin smiled foolishly and pulled her mother's hand to let go.
"Let's go, the prince and your third uncle are waiting."
Zhao Hanya didn't care about this. Looking at her daughter's obviously thinner face, she knew that she was having a hard time here. It was okay for her to remember this little thing!
"Oh, go, go, go!"
After hearing this, Lin Yuxin held Zhao Hanya's hand and walked out.
When we arrived at the hall, we saw a lot of people there. Li Xiaochen was sitting in the first seat on the left, followed by my third uncle and Lord Long and others.
There were many common people standing around, as well as shop owners from the commercial street, and Zhao Yi and his men were all there.
Lin Yuxin's heart was filled with emotion. It had been almost a year since she came into this world, and she had received so much love.
The ceremony of Jiji is very simple. It only requires the elders of the woman's side to add a hairpin to the person who has reached the age of Jiji.
The jiaji means to roll up all the hair into a bun and secure it with a hairpin.
And the women who are getting married can also take off their hairpins after the ceremony.
Zhao Hanya is here today, so she will help Lin Yuxin put on her hairpin.
Lin Yuxin sat in the room, looking at the eyes full of blessings from the people around her. She smiled brightly and brilliantly.
She looked at Li Xiaochen and saw him looking at her tenderly, which made her feel warm in her heart.
[Li Xiaochen, thank you for what you have done for me. 】
She recalled how busy and competitive Li Xiaochen had been a few days ago. So he had been preparing for all this since then? He really didn't reveal a single thing.
Lin Yuxin resisted the urge to go up and hug him, retracted her gaze, and concentrated on completing the coming-of-age ceremony.
Li Xiaochen looked at her more dotingly and said, “I thank you. I do this for you willingly, and...after today, his girl has grown up.”
Zhao Hanya smiled gently, but her body did not stop moving. She had a hunch ever since she knew that the prince had feelings for her daughter Xinxin. She was an experienced person, so no one could tell for sure about matters of the heart.
What's more, they have been in this North City for several months, so they are bound to develop feelings for each other.
The eldest and second oldest had already told her the whole story when they went back. The matter between the young lady and the prince was probably a done deal, so she was not surprised at all this time.
In addition, the prince was the one who took care of the coming-of-age ceremony, and he even sent someone back to Beijing to pick them up. It was clear that he put a lot of effort into Yuxin. How could she be at ease?
After Zhao Hanya tied up Lin Yuxin's hair and pinned it with a golden hairpin, the hairpin-tying ceremony was complete, and Lin Yuxin also completed the ceremony of becoming a hairpin.
This golden hairpin was specially made by Li Xiaochen. It was inlaid with white jade and carved with peonies, making it look lifelike. It looked even more charming when worn on Lin Yuxin's head.
"Congratulations, Princess, on your coming of age!"
"Congratulations, Princess, on your coming of age!"
The people around were also very happy to see the ceremony of coming of age was completed. Their princess had come of age and was now a grown-up girl. They loved the princess like a child and were filled with joy.
The princess is not only their benefactor of Beicheng, but also their princess of Beicheng.
"Thank you all for coming to my coming-of-age ceremony today."
Lin Yuxin also smiled gently and spoke to the people.
At this time Li Xiaochen took out an imperial edict and handed it to Wang Yu.
Wang Yu took the imperial edict and hesitated for a moment. "Master, are you going to read it now? Are you afraid that the princess will beat you?"
However, Wang Yu still walked to the room obediently and shouted to Lin Yuxin:
"Princess Pingning accepts the order!"
Lin Yuxin: …?
[But, when did this imperial edict appear? ? What does the old emperor want to do? ]
Lin Yuxin knelt down despite feeling uneasy.
