Nobody thought that the crying would become even more intense. From Feng Yu Heng crying on her own, to her crying while hugging Zirui, to her crying while hugging her three aunts. After that, Xiang Rong joined in, Xuan Tian Ge and her three sisters joined in, Wang Chuan and Huang Quan also cried. By the end, all of the women in the main hall were crying in unison. The cries shook the heavens, causing the maidservants and male servants in the residence to cry as well.
Xuan Tianming felt a headache coming on. He never knew that his wife could cry so much. He wanted to console her, but he did not know how to console her. It was the fourth prince, Xuan Tian Yi, who was more experienced. He told Xuan Tianming: "There's no need to console them. They'll stop crying on their own after they've had enough. The more you console them, the happier they'll cry. It's possible that they'll cry for an entire night!"
Hearing that it was possible that they would cry for an entire night, Xuan Tianming nearly collapsed. It was the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua, who was more pragmatic. He said to Xu shi: "Yao family's head madam, didn't you say that you still need to hold a ceremony for Heng's coming of age?"
These words reminded Xu shi. She quickly wiped her face and managed to stop her tears with great difficulty. She then pulled Feng Yu Heng's hand and said: "Right, there is still a ceremony for coming of age. Our Heng Heng's coming of age is a major event. It cannot be casually handled."
With Xu shi saying this, everyone agreed. Zirui even said: "Coming of age is a major event for a girl aside from marriage. This is what teacher said. Zirui has remembered it."
Feng Yu Heng pinched Zirui's face. Seeing this younger brother of hers become more and more successful with each passing year, she felt very gratified. She said to Xu shi: "Although coming of age is a major event, we are currently far away in the South. There's no need for too many rules. Just a simple ceremony will do!"
She said that it would be simple, but how could Xu shi agree. In addition, Xuan Tianming had prepared for it. Therefore, Feng Yu Heng's Adulthood Ceremony was very lively.
Although she had put on her wedding dress in Lan Zhou City, her hair had not been tied into a bun. At that time, Wang Chuan had said that, after all, the young miss had not gone through her hairpin ceremony. Although His Ninth Highness had come to escort the bride, this servant felt uncomfortable missing such an event. We cannot look down on ourselves. Young Miss's hair cannot be tied up. Just let it hang loosely at the back of her head. This servant will think of a way to put on the phoenix coronet properly so that it will not affect her movements. So until now, Feng Yu Heng hadn't tied her hair up.
Qin Shi, the Miao Clan, and Feng Xiangrong accompanied Feng Yu Heng back to her room to change, while Xu Shi stayed in the front hall to take care of the ceremony. The new clothes that had been prepared for the Adulthood Ceremony had been sent over early in the morning. It was only at this time that Feng Yu Heng found out that she knew too little about ancient etiquette. It turned out that the clothes for the Adulthood Ceremony were also very particular. From inside to outside, from top to bottom, they all had to be changed, and these new clothes were called coronets.
These clothes were personally prepared by her aunts. They were orange in color and did not look plain, nor did they look as festive as the wedding dress. Qin Shi said: "These were made when we were in the capital. When your eldest aunt and I went to Ji 'an County, we always brought them with us. But after you went to the South, we were worried that you would think of the wedding when we mentioned your hairpin ceremony. We were worried that you would feel uncomfortable, so we did not tell you. Who knew that His Ninth Highness would be so meticulous. Not only did he go to escort you on the day of your hairpin ceremony, he even sent people to Ji 'an County ahead of time to secretly bring us over. "
The Miao Clan also said: "That's right! Not only did they go to Ji 'an County, they even went to the capital and Xiao Zhou. I have been accompanying that child, Zirui, in Xiao Zhou the entire time. Hearing that they would be coming to the South to attend your wedding, I was overjoyed. That's right, before I came here, I made a trip back to the capital. The family sent people to invite the Old Master, your uncles, and your cousins, but the Old Master said that the wedding would be held in the South, so the capital couldn't be completely silent. They didn't come to the South and stayed in the capital. On the day of your wedding, the Yao Residence will also hold a big banquet for guests, as if it was a wedding for a daughter. "
Feng Yu Heng felt her heart ache from hearing this. In truth, she really hoped that her grandfather would be at her side when she got married, but when she thought about her grandfather's age, going from the capital to the South would be troublesome. Since the capital also needed to be lively, staying in the capital was also good. It was just a pity that after living two lives, her grandfather had never been able to personally see his granddaughter get married.
While the group spoke, Xiang Rong could not hold back her tears. She quickly wiped them away then said: "His Ninth Highness really is meticulous. When he came to pick up the two aunts, he actually brought me along. Second sister, I have never seen a man treat a woman to such a degree. In the past, my mother said that whether a man treats a woman well or not is not based on how much money he gives her. Instead, it's based on how much effort he is willing to put in for her. After so many years, we have all seen His Ninth Highness's feelings for second sister. Xiang Rong still remembers the scene of His Ninth Highness bringing the betrothal gifts to the Feng manor. How many years has it been since the Feng family suffered such a loss. The shock of the Imperial Palace Yu was the first time Xiang Rong saw the Feng family suffer such a loss. "
When Xiang Rong brought up the past, Feng Yu Heng sighed upon hearing this. She always felt that time was passing too slowly; however, who knew that so many years had passed in the blink of an eye.
The Qin shi and the Miao Clan had not experienced the scene at that time, but on the way to the South, they had sat in the same carriage as Xiang Rong. The group chatted when they were bored, and they talked about Feng Yu Heng's experiences in the capital over the years. Xiang Rong even specifically brought up the betrothal gifts, causing the two to repeatedly sigh. In the past, they only felt that the men of the Yao family were affectionate; however, who knew that the sons of the imperial family were also affectionate.
Thinking a little more, Qin shi added: "After all, like father, like son. We know a bit about the matter between His Majesty and Consort Yun. Just based on this affection, his son would not be too bad."
Speaking of the sons of the imperial family, Feng Yu Heng recalled a person and could not help but blink at Xiang Rong: "I saw His Highness the fourth prince come with us. Don't tell me that he came from the capital with Seventh Brother."
Upon mentioning the fourth prince, Xiang Rong furrowed her brow once more. It was Qin shi that said with a smile: "How could he have come from the capital. His Highness the fourth prince came from Ji 'an Prefecture and came with us. In order to find his Master, he chased all the way to Ji 'an Prefecture, yet our family's silly girl still does not understand his intentions. "
Feng Yu Heng knew that the fourth prince had feelings for Xiang Rong, and she did not stop him too much. In general, ever since the third prince failed to force the abdication, the fourth prince's personality slowly changed. In the beginning, she felt that it might be an act, but after observing for a while, she found that it was not the case. In fact, Xuan Tian Yi did not have much of a rebellious streak in his bones. In the past, he was mostly influenced by Old Third. In addition, he was engaged to the Bu family. The Bu family would instill some thoughts into him from time to time, slowly leading him astray. But in reality, Xuan Tian Yi was a person who did not have much of an idea. He did not have much ambition for the throne. He was the type that could cause a ruckus and calm down.
Now that he had already chosen to live a quiet life, in her opinion, if he could treat Xiang Rong well, it would be quite good. Although he did not have the throne, his status as a prince was still there. Back then, Emperor Tianwu said that he would be demoted to a commoner, but he was still his son. Based on how that old Emperor valued relationships, how could he let his son suffer. Just based on Xuan Tian Yi's current life, it was clear that whether he was a prince or not, it did not affect him much.
Feng Yu Heng looked at Xiang Rong with hope. Unfortunately, Xiang Rong did not care much about this matter. Every time Xuan Tian Yi was mentioned, she would have an expression that said "he is very troublesome". Qin Shi wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Xiang Rong like this, she had no choice but to swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth. After all, she was not her own daughter. It would not be good to say too much.
Feng Yu Heng felt that this matter was not urgent now. Xiang Rong was still young. After a few more years, the two of them would interact more and develop naturally. It would be better. Moreover, she knew clearly that this girl had Xuan Tianhua's shadow in her heart. Forcefully shoving Xuan Tian Yi to her, there was no place to put it.
She pulled Xiang Rong's hand and shook it a few times, saying: "Don't think too much. Just treat it as having an additional friend. Both of you are teacher and friend. There is no harm in it for you. "
Xiang Rong always listened to Feng Yu Heng more. She nodded happily and even said: "Either way, he is not very annoying. Just treat him as a follower!"
The few people present also blushed with shame. They only thought that the Feng family's daughter had a personality. A dignified prince said that she was a follower. But thinking about that Fourth Prince Xuan Tian Yi, he really had the attitude of a follower.
On Feng Yu Heng's side, she changed her clothes and changed her makeup. After changing her accessories, she spent nearly two hours before returning to the front hall.
On this side of the front hall, all of the guests were seated. They all happily looked at Feng Yu Heng's arrival, and they all had smiles on their faces. The coming-of-age ceremony was hosted by Xu shi. She represented the elders of the family and personally tied Feng Yu Heng's hair into a bun. She then used a colored cloth to wrap up the bun. She then placed a hairpin in her hand into the bun and loudly said: "Feng shi Yu Heng, 15 years old. You are allowed to get married." With this, the coming-of-age ceremony was completed.
As guests, they all went forward to congratulate Feng Yu Heng. They also presented gifts that they had carefully prepared. Feng Yu Heng received the gifts with a smile. She then handed them to the maidservants behind her and thanked them one by one.
When Xuan Tian Ge presented the gifts, she quietly whispered into her ear: "The coming-of-age ceremony is just like that. We will help you add to your dowry tomorrow morning. At that time, it will be the big gift."
After the ceremony, there was a large banquet in the courtyard. The male guests sat at a table and the female guests sat at a table. There were truly very few male guests. Later on, some of the generals from the army also sat at the table.
Feng Yu Heng felt as though she was dreaming. Xu shi said: "Once you become of age, you will be an adult. After you get married tomorrow, you will not just be Princess Ji An. You will also be the true official Princess Yu. When you return to the capital in the future, you will need to live in the Imperial Palace Yu."
Only then did she manage to react. She also just realized that after getting married, she would be someone else's daughter-in-law. She could no longer live in her imperial daughter's manor.
But Qin shi consoled her, saying: "Heng Heng, there is no need to worry. His Ninth Highness is a prince. Your parents-in-law are all in the palace. They don't care about what happens outside. After marrying over, you will be the head wife without a doubt. There will be no parents-in-law to restrict you, and there will be no concubines and concubines to cause trouble. You will be able to do whatever you want. "
Xuan Tian Ge also said: "That's right. Based on my Ninth Brother's personality, I'm afraid that your days will be even more comfortable than when you were in the imperial daughter's manor! That person is the most unruly. The servants in the manor have already become used to it. There definitely won't be anyone who will make you suffer. Look, I can be considered your only sister-in-law, and I am standing on your side! "
This meal was eaten very happily. The women were the first to finish eating. Xu shi sent Feng Yu Heng back to her room, letting her rest well. She still had to wake up early the next day. The others did not disturb her, returning to their own courtyards. Only Feng Yu Heng could not sleep at all. She wanted to walk around the courtyard, but when she pushed open the door, she saw a white-clothed young man standing in the corridor at the entrance of the courtyard. His clothes fluttered, and he had a divine aura … …
