Chapter 1971: Can I ask my father to grant us a marriage?
"Ancestor?" Tang Bao hesitated.
Is she really going to wear this flower crown?
She felt that if she put it on, it would be like wearing both the jade seal and the phoenix seal on her head.
Too high-profile!
Moreover, many people present could recognize the jade quality of the tiara.
In this case, even if the emperor doesn't care, there will probably be people who have bad intentions.
Tang Bao is not afraid of anyone causing trouble for her, she just doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
"As the Palace Master of Yun Palace reaches the age of marriage, I naturally have to wear the most luxurious flower crown in the world!" said the old Palace Master without allowing any objection.
He looked arrogant and his aura was instantly released.
Everyone felt that the aura of the old palace master suddenly changed, becoming awe-inspiring and making people want to worship him.
Tang Bao: “…”
Well, the ancestor brought up the Yun Palace, and as the Palace Master of the Yun Palace, I really cannot disgrace the identity of the Palace Master of the Yun Palace.
Tang Bao's expression calmed down, and she bowed politely to the Empress Dowager who inserted the hairpin into her hair, and then waited for the old palace master to put a crown on her head.
In fact, according to ancient customs, the coming-of-age ceremony requires three plus three bows.
The first step is combing the hair, the second step is inserting a hairpin, and the third step is wearing a hair crown.
However, it was gradually simplified and only had two plus one.
When Yun Mo lifted the brocade handkerchief to reveal the flower crown, everyone present understood that Tang Bao's coming-of-age ceremony would be performed according to ancient customs with three additions.
A maid brought a copper basin, towels and other things. The old palace master washed his hands, burned incense, and recited a long prayer.
Except for Tang Bao, who had read this prayer in an ancient book in Yun Palace, no one present had ever heard of it.
“Chirp—”
“Ouch—”
“Yoyo——”
…
Outside the window came the sounds of cranes calling, wolves howling, and birds chirping...
Suddenly, it gives people a feeling that all animals are paying homage to it.
For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely holy, as if some ancient and mysterious ritual was taking place.
Emperor Zhengde's gaze towards the old palace master became increasingly fiery and persistent.
This is definitely an old immortal!
He must stick to the old immortal, follow in his footsteps, and embark on the path of cultivating immortals!
After the old palace master finished reading the prayer, she placed the flower crown neatly on Tang Bao's head.
Tang Bao felt her head sink and her neck was almost broken.
This is too heavy!
This is Tangbao’s first feeling!
Tang Bao endured the pressure on her head and slowly turned her head.
As the light flowed, everyone's eyes were wide open.
The phoenix flowers with colorful halos bloomed before people's eyes.
The little girl wearing a flower crown has delicate eyebrows and eyes, as if she has stepped out of the painting and fallen into the mortal world.
Originally, people thought that Tang Bao wearing a phoenix hairpin and comb was already the most stunning sight in heaven and on earth.
Now, seeing Tang Bao wearing a flower crown, I feel that they are still too ignorant!
This woman should only exist in heaven!
This was the only feeling of the ladies who attended the ceremony!
I have to say that because of the flower crown, Tang Bao’s coming-of-age ceremony has become another topic of discussion.
At the same time, families with daughters began to inquire about Yun Mo's identity.
However, Yun Mo left the capital after Tang Bao's coming-of-age ceremony.
late at night.
Tang Bao sat in front of the window with her hands on her cheeks, staring at the bright moon outside in a daze.
“Knock knock!”
There was a slight sound from the window frame, and there was a person outside the window.
"elder brother!"
Tang Bao stood up suddenly and exclaimed in surprise.
That’s right! The person outside the window is Xuanyuan Jin.
Xuanyuan Jin stood in front of the window. Although he was exhausted, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were like stars and as gentle as water.
The moonlight shone on his body, creating layers of halos.
Tang Bao felt that she might be dreaming.
How come my brother is here?
The next moment, Xuanyuan Jin moved, turned over and jumped into the window.
"Did you miss me?"
The low and magnetic voice seemed to strike into Tang Bao's heart.
Tang Bao: “…I want to.”
He muttered a word, his eyes red.
She was not dreaming, her brother really came back!
Then, a huge surprise came into my heart.
"Are you hurt? Are you hungry? Are you tired?" Tang Bao came back to her senses and said hurriedly: "I asked someone to prepare food for you..."
Tang Bao said this and was about to walk out in a hurry.
"Tang Bao, I'm fine. I'm not hungry, nor tired." Xuanyuan Jin reached out and took Tang Bao's hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let brother take a good look at you."
After saying that, he looked carefully at the little girl in front of him.
Tang Bao raised her eyes, and their gazes met, as if something was growing in silence.
"You've lost weight." Xuanyuan Jin whispered with a hint of heartache.
Tang Bao burst out laughing.
"No." Tang Bao whispered: "You are just like our ancestors. When you see me, you say I have lost weight, but in fact, I have not lost weight at all."
There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone unconsciously.
After saying that, he pinched his cheek subconsciously.
Look, the baby fat seems to still be there.
Xuanyuan Jin followed Tang Bao's hand and pinched Tang Bao's little face.
"I just lost weight." Xuanyuan Jin frowned slightly and said stubbornly, "It must be because I didn't eat well."
Tang Bao: “…”
Well, actually I lost some weight.
"Isn't it three days before the army returns to the city?" Tang Bao asked, changing the subject.
"Today is your coming-of-age ceremony."
Xuanyuan Jin didn't answer, but it was the same as answering.
After Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking, he took out a wooden hairpin from his arms.
The wooden hairpin was polished very smoothly, but the carving was average.
It can be seen that it is definitely not the work of everyone.
Tang Bao concluded at a glance that this must have been carved by Xuanyuan Jin himself.
But Tang Bao didn't say it.
Some things don't need words, both people understand.
"Brother will put it on you, okay?"
His voice was low, and the last two words contained a hint of nervousness.
The knuckles of the fingers holding the wooden hairpin were bulging due to the force.
"……good."
The low word seemed to clear up the sky after the rain, and Xuanyuan Jin's expression relaxed instantly, with a happy smile overflowing from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Xuanyuan Jin gently inserted the wooden hairpin into Tang Bao's hair bun.
Tang Bao's heart couldn't help but start beating wildly.
She is no longer a naive little girl.
She naturally understood what it meant when a man gave a woman a hairpin.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at the little girl in front of him, and the light in his eyes became more gentle.
His little girl has finally grown up!
He stretched out his arms and gently took the little girl into his arms.
He rested his chin on the little girl's head and whispered, "Can I ask the Emperor to grant us a marriage?"
"……good."
It was still a low word, but it made Xuanyuan Jin tighten his hand involuntarily and sigh with happiness.
"Sugar baby, that's great."
The low, hoarse voice was filled with a myriad of emotions.
Then, he held up the little girl's cheeks with both hands and kissed Tang Bao lightly on her forehead.
Tang Bao's face turned red with embarrassment, and she buried her head in Xuanyuan Jin's arms, not daring to look up again.
"Bang, bang, bang..." The frantic heartbeat was hers and his.
"hehe……"
A low laugh escaped from Xuanyuan Jin's lips.
Tang Bao's face became redder and her heartbeat became more irregular.
