Chapter 1967: Coming of Age Ceremony (I)
British Mansion.
Laughter and joy are not enough to describe the scene in the Duke's Mansion.
Even the dogs raised in the Duke's Mansion seemed to be able to hear laughter in their barking.
It was at this time that the old palace master and Doctor Hua came to the Duke's Mansion.
The two of them came for no other reason than Tang Bao's coming-of-age ceremony.
They didn't care much about the border wars, but they attached as much importance to Tang Bao's coming-of-age ceremony as Old Man Su and Old Lady Su did.
Everyone in the Su family knew the identity of the old palace master, but they still claimed to the outside world that the old palace master was a distant relative of the Su family.
However, this statement could not fool Emperor Zhengde.
As soon as Emperor Zhengde received the news, he couldn't wait to go to the Duke's Mansion in disguise.
When Old Man Su received the report from the doorman that his old friend Mr. Huang was coming to visit, he was almost stunned.
Who is Mr. Huang?
"Dad, the emperor is here." Tang Bao hurriedly whispered.
Old man Su suddenly understood.
When the emperor went to Daliushu Village in disguise, wasn't he doing so as Mr. Huang?
"Since the emperor has come in disguise, there is no need for Dad to make it public." Tang Bao whispered again.
"Yes, yes!" Old Man Su said repeatedly.
However, I still ran out to greet him in a panic.
What a joke! Even if he came incognito, he is still the emperor, and we must not neglect him!
When they were in Daliushu Village at first, they didn't know that he was the emperor, so they didn't take him seriously.
Now that we know that the emperor has come, no matter what his identity is, we must respect him, right?
"Dad, please slow down." Tang Bao hurriedly followed, stretched out his hand to support Old Man Su, and said, "The emperor must have come for the old ancestor. He needs to talk to the old ancestor later."
As for whether or not to meet the emperor, that all depends on the ancestor's wishes.
Old man Su paused.
"For the ancestors?"
"Um!"
Tang Bao nodded.
Old Man Su: “…”
Otherwise, let's walk slowly.
At this moment, Old Man Su suddenly felt like there was an emperor at home!
Old man Su held it steady.
The old palace master did not refuse Emperor Zhengde's face, no, it should be said that he gave face to Xuanyuan Jin.
"Since he is Jin's father, then let's meet him." The old palace master said calmly.
The wives of the Su family secretly sighed that the ancestor was indeed worthy of being the ancestor!
Even they always feel that their ancestors are not mortals.
Of course, this is assuming they don't see Dr. Hua.
Thus, Emperor Zhengde saw the old palace master sitting in the main seat, and the divine doctor Hua standing behind the old palace master with a flattering but wretched look on his face.
Emperor Zhengde's gaze swept across the old doctor, and the corners of his mouth twitched instinctively.
Then, he bowed and said, "Junior greets the old immortal."
The old palace master frowned slightly.
"I am but an ordinary mortal, not the immortal you speak of." The old Palace Master spoke slowly, his voice carrying an air of authority without anger. "There may be immortals in this world, but I am not one of them. I have simply lived a few more years."
"Even if you are not an immortal, but you can live to the age of an old immortal and stay as healthy as an old immortal, then you are already an immortal." Emperor Zhengde said respectfully.
But I became even more convinced in my heart.
What mortal being could maintain this appearance after living for who knows how many years?
Emperor Zhengde only said that the old palace master was in good health, but he did not directly say that the old palace master was so young and beautiful.
Especially the otherworldly aura of the old palace master, as if he had a kind of immortal aura.
Can a mortal have such temperament and such appearance?
This is definitely a goddess!
Emperor Zhengde took only one look and couldn't help but feel awe.
This feeling is very new to him.
He only had this feeling when he burned incense at the Huguo Temple.
But that was facing the Buddha statues.
Now, he had this feeling towards a woman who had lived for who knows how many years.
When the old palace master heard what Emperor Zhengde said, he was speechless.
Anyway, she has made it clear that she is not a god, so she can't control what Emperor Zhengde thinks of her.
However, Doctor Hua was very pleased with what Emperor Zhengde said.
"You have good eyes! My wife is a fairy!" Doctor Hua said proudly.
Emperor Zhengde echoed repeatedly.
But when I saw Doctor Hua's appearance and expression, I felt a sense of disconnection.
"In my heart, my wife is the most beautiful fairy!" Doctor Hua said again.
The old palace master glared at Doctor Hua.
"Don't make trouble."
"Okay! Wife!" Doctor Hua said instinctively.
After saying that, he came to his senses, hurriedly explained, and swore to the sky.
"Wife, I'm telling the truth! In my heart, you are the most beautiful goddess in heaven and on earth!"
"loquacious!"
The old palace master glared at Doctor Hua again.
Emperor Zhengde: “…”
I felt like I was being shown off.
However, looking at the pointed and monkey-faced appearance of Doctor Hua, it felt like the god in heaven was being taken advantage of by a pig.
Emperor Zhengde did not stay long and soon said goodbye.
He has already paid a visit to the old immortal and made an impression in front of him. Is it still far from going to the Immortal Mountain?
**
Tangbao’s coming-of-age ceremony was held in a grand manner.
Every household in the capital was proud to receive an invitation to Tang Bao's coming-of-age ceremony.
There was no other way, so the emperor specially ordered a grand ceremony and held it at the highest level of the Princess of Dayan.
In the emperor's words, Princess Fude played a great role in the great victory of the soldiers of Dayan at the border.
Not only did they donate money and materials, but they also donated food and medicine.
We should take this opportunity to commend them.
So, with one decree from the emperor, the entire capital became a hot topic.
Old Man Su and Old Lady Su were naturally happy to hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for their little girl.
In the past, they wanted to keep a low profile on everything, but now it’s different.
A girl’s coming-of-age ceremony is a major event in her life and must not be neglected.
What needs to be publicized must be publicized, and what needs to be done in a big way must be done in a big way!
So, the old couple put on new clothes early in the morning and prepared to entertain the guests who came to attend the coming-of-age ceremony.
Madam Xia, Princess Cheng'en, Princess Ning and others arrived early.
Mrs. Xia gave Tang Bao a set of headpieces made of red gold inlaid with pink and purple jadeite. It was the design of Xia Siya's painting. Mrs. Xia specially asked the master craftsman of Ruyi Tower to carve it carefully. The labor cost alone cost a lot of money.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Tang Bao exclaimed.
"As long as you like it." Mrs. Xia smiled kindly.
The more she looked at her goddaughter, the more she liked her.
"I like it! I like it very much!" Tang Bao looked at and touched the head and face of each piece, unable to let go, and nodded heavily, "Thank you, godmother!"
"You should thank me too. This is the style I came up with." Xia Siya said proudly.
"Thank you, Sister Siya." Tang Bao followed suit and smiled happily.
"And me, I also helped with the advisory." Princess Linghua said quickly, not wanting to be outdone, fearing that her contribution would be overlooked.
"Okay, thank you Sister Linghua too." Tang Bao smiled with her eyes curved.
"You still call them sister, but I'm afraid they will start calling you aunt soon!" Princess Ning joked.
Princess Ning had no idea that the two of them often called her "Aunt" in private.
Everyone in the room laughed after hearing what Princess Ning said.
Xia Siya and Princess Linghua blushed when they were teased in public.
The Second Madam of the Yang family smiled and said, "I have already started preparing the gift."
Others also agreed and said they were ready to contribute money.
Madam Xia smiled happily, but her eyes were red. She said with emotion, "In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up. I still remember the first time I saw Fu Ya. She was such a tiny little girl, so smart and well-behaved. I couldn't help but want to hold her in my hands and pamper her."
"Even now, I want to hold you in my hands and pamper you." Princess Ning said with a smile.
After saying that, he also took out the things he had given.
—A complete set of combs, large and small.
Each comb is exquisite
There are gold, silver, jade, and sandalwood...
You can tell at first glance that these are not ordinary items.
