Jiang Xuxu just stood there and watched the person coming forward step by step.
Until Feng Mingsheng's voice came with a warning, "Why don't you kneel down in front of His Majesty?"
Jiang Xuxu looked at him, but before he could say anything, he heard the king in front of him say in a deep voice,
"She doesn't have to kneel."
After a pause, he seemed to add,
"You are the one who has been chosen by the Phoenix. You are as respected as me. You do not need to kneel."
As soon as the four words [As respected as I am] were uttered, everyone present felt as if a storm had risen in their hearts.
The guests present were all savvy people, so they knew how much weight such words carried when they heard them from the emperor. It was just too shocking.
Although after what happened just now, most people have already determined that Feng Zhenzhen is the real girl of destiny, but being acknowledged by the emperor himself has another meaning.
Mrs. Feng's heart was pounding, she was both excited and nervous.
Excited about the meaning of His Majesty's words, but also worried about the Feng family's previous attitude towards Feng Zeze.
Compared with the entire Feng family, Feng Xixi hated them so much that blood was dripping from their mouths.
The thing she had been waiting for for so long seemed to be taken away in an instant.
She was unwilling to accept it.
He wanted to say something else, but just as he opened his mouth, he heard Chu Beihe say indifferently,
"Noisy."
Immediately, the palace servants stepped forward quickly, one clamped her hands, the other covered her mouth, and quickly took her away.
Seeing this scene, although Mrs. Feng felt distressed, she did not dare to say anything to plead for mercy.
When Chu Beihe signaled everyone to stand up, he briefly explained the purpose of the emperor's visit.
"A phoenix has appeared in the capital of Tianyuan Kingdom, and hundreds of birds are flocking to it. This is a good omen from heaven, and I will come here in person."
It took less than a cup of tea for the phoenix to appear and attract hundreds of birds. If someone said that His Majesty in the palace heard the news and rushed over, no one present would believe it.
But since His Majesty said so, they naturally had no choice but to believe it.
Feng Mingsheng had calmed down by now, and immediately stepped forward and said respectfully,
"Your Majesty is wise and wise. The auspicious sign of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix is due to my daughter Feng Jiejie's prayers. It is a blessing for me and the Feng family to have your Majesty come in person."
Chu Beihe had asked someone to inquire about the situation of Feng Mansion two days ago. At this time, he only glanced at the other party lightly, and then spoke directly.
"I heard that today is Miss Feng's coming-of-age ceremony, but it looks like the ceremony hasn't been completed yet?"
When Feng Mingsheng heard this, he didn't know what the emperor was thinking. He was thinking about explaining it when he heard Chu Beihe continue,
"Since you are here, I will preside over the coming-of-age ceremony for Miss Feng today."
As soon as these words were spoken, the guests were shocked again. They thought that the presence of the young emperor in person was enough to show his dignity, but they did not expect that the emperor would personally preside over the ceremony for her. Was it just because Miss Feng could attract the phoenix?
But the one before also elicited a response from the Phoenix. Although the noise was relatively small, the Emperor did not show any expression.
Now it seems more like... it's directed at Feng Zeze?
The guests couldn't figure it out, nor did they dare to guess the emperor's thoughts, so they could only express their expectations.
As for Feng Xixi, the other person who was supposed to have the coming-of-age ceremony with Feng Zhenzhen, no one was so foolish as to bring her up again at this moment.
Thus, at Chu Beihe's command, the originally chaotic scene quickly returned to normal. Even because the emperor was present in person, several ministers' families who had not originally planned to come also hurried over, including Prime Minister Yuan's wife.
Jiang Xuxu knew that Feng Zhezhe attached great importance to the coming-of-age ceremony, and originally wanted her to return to her body and go through the process herself, but Feng Zhezhe said that it was not necessary.
"Your Majesty took the initiative to offer to preside over the coming-of-age ceremony because of you."
She had already noticed that His Majesty seemed to treat Xuxu differently.
Xuxu obviously knew the other person. Although no one knew how they met, it didn't matter anymore.
More importantly,
"You are me. When I look at you, it's like I'm having my own coming-of-age ceremony."
She had already cleared her name in front of all the guests; the coming-of-age ceremony was no longer that important.
After hearing what Feng Zeze said, Jiang Xuxu no longer insisted.
Even though Jiang Xuxu was not familiar with the subsequent procedures, after all, his nanny had taught him in advance, so Jiang Xuxu handled it very appropriately and thoroughly.
At the beginning of the ceremony, the praiser combs his hair.
The guest is given a hairpin, and the one wearing the hairpin bows.
But Jiang Xuxu was not worshipping his parents, but the king.
After that, the king also expressed his wishes to her on her behalf.
Jiang Xuxu thought this was great. She didn't want to pay homage to the Feng family's parents, nor did she want to listen to their teachings.
Feng Zeze also felt it was very good.
Without Feng Xixi, the ceremony went on very smoothly.
When the coming-of-age ceremony was over, Sanshu, who had been waiting in the Bagua plate for a while, moved again.
Everyone saw that at the moment the ceremony was announced, the sky above the entire Feng Mansion seemed to be filled with red light, and in that light, a golden glow was faintly visible.
Until this moment, everyone understood what it meant to be a miracle from heaven.
Compared to the fleeting brilliance that Feng Xixi had seen before, the extremely gorgeous light before their eyes made everyone amazed.
The flowing light is holy and lingers for a long time, making people subconsciously yearn for it.
Not only in Feng Mansion, but also in various places in the capital, anyone who saw this flash of light bowed devoutly.
After today, almost everyone in the capital knew one thing.
Those were two miraculous sights from the sky, both of which were caused by Feng family’s eldest daughter, Feng Zeze.
Furthermore, the emperor himself declared that she was of equal status with him, so the legitimate daughter of the Feng family was almost certainly the empress.
