Besides, Baochai passed the primary election, and his daily life returned to peace.
In addition to embroidering, writing and reading every day, she also helps her mother take care of the house.
The Xue family already had a lot of business in Beijing. Now that they have moved to Beijing in large numbers, they have further broadened their business scope.
Nowadays, the family business is stable, and they have received many imperial emissaries from the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and it is already on the rise.
The most reassuring thing for Baochai and her daughter is that since Jia Zhen was beaten to a disability, Xue Pan has become more at ease and concentrates on the business field every day.
"Baochai, I have already made plans for your brother's marriage."
"Which girl does mom like?" Baochai put down the account book in his hand, with a look on his face. Curious.
"This is the Osmanthus Xia family, Baochai, do you know?"
Both two families are imperial merchants, so they are well-connected, and now they are married. A perfect match.
"It turns out to be a girl from the Xia family" Baochai nodded.
"The eldest daughter of the Xia family has only given birth to daughters now. The two girls’ maiden names are Yuegui. I have sent people to calculate that they will be suitable for your eldest brother."
"Xia Yuegui "
Baochai recited it in a low voice, and then asked, "I don't know what kind of character, talent and learning this girl from the Xia family has."
Marrying a wife is a big deal, whether she is virtuous or not. The impact is too great, how could Aunt Xue not pay attention to it.
"A few days ago, I went to see the Xia family in person. Compared with the eldest girl in her family, this second girl is extra gentle and considerate, and her appearance and talents are also first-rate."
Seeing her mother's sincere smile when she mentioned it, Baochai knew that she was particularly satisfied with the girl, so she then asked, "I don't know what the Xia family's plans are."
Although her brother There have been changes, but after all, it is notorious, and the Xia family may not be willing to do so.
At this time, Aunt Xue said, "There is no need to worry about this. The Xia family also intends to marry, we just have to finalize it."
"That's great, brother." If he marries his sister-in-law, and someone will always advise him, he will be more stable in the future."
Hearing what her daughter said, Aunt Xue nodded repeatedly, and then said, "That would be the best."
While the mother and daughter were talking, a little girl ran in quickly from outside. After entering the house, she reported, "Madam, someone from the palace is here to find our girl."
It doesn't matter. The girl said that Aunt Xue also knew that the person coming from the palace must be looking for her daughter.
"Let's go and greet him."
Thinking that it was someone sent by Kunning Palace again, Baochai did not dare to neglect him at this moment, so he rushed to the front hall with his mother.
At this time, in the Xue family's living room, Deng An put his hands in his sleeves and was looking around at the furnishings in the room.
He was followed by more than a dozen eunuchs. Although the things were only packed in one box, the need for a large number of people was pomp and circumstance.
In fact, for this kind of errand, Deng AnsuJust shoot a little eunuch and you can handle it. After all, he is Zhu Jinghong's big eunuch.
But he is very good at telling people what to eat, so how could he neglect Baochai, a potential stock.
"Zhang Pingan, Yu Hai, what are you going to fight with me about?" Thinking of this, Deng An smiled at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, a series of footsteps came from the back hall. When Deng An heard it, he took his hands out of his sleeves and adjusted his official hat.
The next moment, Baochai appeared supporting Aunt Xue, surrounded by a group of girls and women.
When she saw Deng An coming, Baochai's heart dropped, and then her eyes glanced at the box in the hall.
Seeing that Aunt Xue was about to come forward to greet her, Deng An reacted faster. He held his hands in front of her and said, "I've seen my wife, I've seen Miss Xue."
"My father-in-law is here. Welcome from afar, please forgive me," Aunt Xue said.
"You're welcome, Madam"
At this time Baochai also said, "I dare to ask my father-in-law, what is the purpose of this trip?"
Seeing that it was Baochai who spoke, Deng An then slightly arched his waist and replied, "To answer the girl's question, this time the foreign envoys came to Beijing, the Holy Emperor gave some precious leathers. The Thirteenth Master asked me to pick some good ones and ordered my slaves to give them to the girl."
Hearing this, not only Aunt Xue but also a bunch of girls and women were deeply surprised.
Facing Zhu Jinghong's "public" display of love, Baochai was somewhat embarrassed, but she still tried her best to control her expression so that no one would notice anything strange.
"Thank you very much, Lord Thirteen, for your generous gift, and I would like to ask my father-in-law to thank him for me."
"This is natural."
Hearing this, Baochai then said, "My father-in-law, do you know that the girl from the Lin family is now attending the princess's school in Kunning Palace?"
Although he didn't know why Baochai mentioned this, Deng An still responded, "I know"
< p>"My father-in-law, would you like to bring her a few words for me?""It's just what the girl orders," Deng An answered more simply.
At this time, Baochai turned around, looked at her mother and said, "Mom, I have some private things to say to Girl Lin, how about you?"
Aunt Xue nodded, and He told the left and right, "Since this is a private conversation, we don't want to listen to it and are all leaving."
"Father-in-law, I'll leave now if I'm rude."
"Madam, please go on your own." , Don’t be too polite,” Deng An replied with a smile.
To be sure, Deng An is really up to something. After Aunt Xue and his entourage left, he turned back to the accompanying eunuchs and said, "You all go down too."
A few breaths After that, Baochai and Deng An were the only two people left in the hall.
"Please tell Daiyu on my behalf that she must take good care of her body and go to bed early at night."
Baochai then said a lot, but the core meaning was basically the same. , Deng An's heart was filled with questions.
Is it necessary to say these words separately?
After talking nonsense, seeing that Deng An was still listening quietly, Baochai asked, "Eunuch, have you written it down?"< /p>
"Write it down"
Going around to the box, Baochai said with a smile, "Thank you very much"
"You're welcome, girl"
Baochai nodded slightly, and then Looking at the box on the ground, he asked, "What's in it?"
Hearing the inquiry, Deng An immediately stepped forward to open the box, and then introduced, "There are three chapters of high-quality silver fox skin and high-quality sable." "Eight pieces of skin, and more"
After Deng An finished the introduction, Baochai asked casually, "These things are for me alone."
Deng An smiled slightly. He was stunned, and then replied, "Only Miss Yinglian got a few."
"But these girls, the Thirteenth Master specially ordered to carefully select them, they are the treasures among the gifts given by the emperor"
Baochai felt much better when he heard that Yinglian had won a few.
"Then tell him for me, thank you for still thinking about me." Baochai smiled slightly. p>
Deng An immediately replied, "The Thirteenth Master always thinks about the girl. As soon as he received the reward from the Holy Spirit, he said that he would give some to the girl after leaving the hall."
The two of them exchanged a few words. Deng An said goodbye and returned to his duties, and then Aunt Xue returned to the hall.
After taking the leather from the girl, Aunt Xue looked at it carefully and said with emotion, "They are all valuable." Good things in the market are hard to buy even with money."
"Yes, mother, please pick some," Baochai said calmly.
"This is a reward for you. It’s better that I don’t take the things.”
Baochai smiled slightly, “If you give them to your daughter, they are your daughter’s things, and you can let her make the decision, mother, you can pick some.”
Xue The aunt no longer refused, but instead said, "This is a gift from the Holy One. The Thirteenth Master rewarded it to you in a blink of an eye. It seems that he really values you very much."
"He treats other girls better." "Heart" Baochai replied with a smile.
Looking at her daughter's heartfelt joy, Aunt Xue felt confident, and now she felt more at ease.
If so Being able to choose the prince's concubine, as long as the thirteenth master is good to his daughter, it will be a blessing for the Xue family.
It's March 15th, the eleventh year of the orthodoxy. >
In the early morning, Zhu Jinghong got up and washed and dressed under the eunuchs' service.
Only the hair-tying process was a little different from before. The eunuchs tied two hairpins on his head. The bun is called "childish"
To be honest, Zhu Jinghong's attire is very strange at the moment, and it can even be said to be funny.
But the eunuchs on the scene are all professional and can maintain it. He kept a straight face throughout.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Zhu Jinghong felt a chill. Fortunately, this state would not last long.
"Thirteenth Master, the princess is here"
p>After hearing the report, Zhu Jinghong said, "Let her wait outside."
He is an iron-clad man. If a few girls see this kind of virtue in front of him, he will be a tough guy in the past. How could it collapse?
However, how could Zhu Yunsheng really obey the rules in his yard?, just after Zhu Jinghong finished speaking, footsteps came from outside.
"Brother Thirteen, where are you?"
The next moment, Zhu Yunsheng led several attendants and appeared behind Zhu Jinghong.
Looking at his two "gift packages", Zhu Yunsheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Thirteen, you are following me like this"
Zhu Yunsheng didn't say anything more, Because she was already laughing.
I really can’t blame her, it’s just because Zhu Jinghong’s current look does look particularly funny.
Not to mention Zhu Yunsheng, even Daiyu and the others turned their heads at this moment, obviously they could no longer hold back their laughter.
Zhu Jinghong was generous and said casually, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. Anyway, you won't have to laugh for a while."
This is the truth. At this moment, he was in the east wing outside the main hall. At the location, the ceremony officers and ceremonial guards have already set up the crowning ceremonial guard, and they only need to wait for the emperor's envoy to arrive before the ceremony can begin.
Everyone talked inside for a while, and after about half an hour, a young eunuch came to deliver the news in advance, informing the emperor that the envoy was about to arrive.
After a while, as expected, there were voices and music coming from outside, and then someone came to invite Zhu Jinghong to come out to greet him.
Under the guidance of the etiquette officer, Zhu Jinghong came to the gate of Chengmingyuan. As expected, the emperor's envoy was already standing outside the gate.
After greeting him, the envoy entered the gate with integrity, and finally stopped at the incense table in the atrium.
Following the guidance of the etiquette officer, Zhu Jinghong came to the incense table and kowtowed, and the formal crowning ceremony began.
The whole process is very complicated. First there are various ceremonial praises, and then there are washing hands and wiping the wat.
After a lot of work, Zhu Jinghong entered the east wing. At this moment, the net towel wing Good crowns, dragon robes and other items are ready.
"Only on this auspicious day, I will be crowned as an adult. I will honor my filial friends and be blessed with good fortune."
After the ceremony officer shouted, someone else came to tie Zhu Jinghong's hair again. After the busy work, his bun was tied up, and then he was put on a net scarf to fix it.
At this point, from an ethical point of view, the so-called naive child is no longer there, and Zhu Jinghong is already an adult.
After putting on the regimental dragon robe and the Yishan crown, a group of ceremonial officials paid homage in front of Zhu Jinghong.
“It is the duty of the people to be respectful and dignified.”
At this point, the first half of the crowning ceremony is over, and the whole process is actually Just about ten minutes.
The voice of the "controlled" etiquette officer sounded again.
So Zhu Jinghong got up and walked out of the east hall, came to the courtyard in front of the Emperor's Day, and waited for the edict to read out the edict.
After Zhu Jinghong knelt down, the music stopped and the official's voice sounded.
"Zhi said"
"You are now crowned, filial to the emperor and relatives, and friendly to brothers"
The content of the imperial edict is not long, it is to warn Zhu Jinghong to be benevolent, righteous and courteous. Wisdom and trustworthiness, gentleness, respect, thrift and humility.
After Zhu Jinghong accepted the edict after reading it, it was up to him to pay an audience with the emperor.
At this momentIn the Chongzheng Hall, the two emperors and empresses have been enthroned. In addition to their relatives and family members, there are also nine ministers from the six departments of the Cabinet University, as well as senior officials from the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, and of course the chieftains of the Khan King and Alliance who have come to Beijing.
Chongzheng Hall is the second largest hall in the imperial palace, second only to Fengtian Hall. It is the place where the regular dynasty and palace examinations are held. Today it is used as the place where Zhu Jinghong was crowned king.
Being crowned king on the day of crowning is a system established by the ancestor Zhu Shenzhuo, and now it has formed the so-called "ancestral system".
The emperor and empress had just arrived, but the others had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and they were all a little tired.
When they heard the call from outside and learned that Zhu Jinghong was about to arrive, everyone present cheered up.
A few breaths later, Zhu Jinghong was introduced into the palace, and then bowed to his parents as an adult. At this moment, there were no monarchs and ministers, only father and son.
After prostrating, the ceremony officer led him to stand up, and then it was time to confer the title of king.
Zhu Xianming glanced at Cheng Ying who was standing aside. The latter signaled to the ceremony officer not far away, who then took out the imperial edict from the brocade box.
As he came to the front of the palace holding the edict, he saw the official slowly unfolding the imperial edict, and then read loudly, "Heaven carries the emperor, and makes the day"
Only for imperial edicts facing the whole country, " "Edict", so the use of imperial edicts is rarely, most of the time it is "making books".
Zhu Jinghong, who had just stood up, now had to kneel down and bow.
"I admire the lotus and Tianxiu, and Pi inherits the throne of the emperor. The scenery has servants, and Zuo Yin conquers the prosperity. The style promotes the founding of the country, and the ceremony of great enfeoffment"
"Consultation Your thirteenth son is endowed with great talent, as tall as a golden branch, and as heroic as a beautiful woman."
Although the emperor was praising himself at this moment, Zhu Jinghong was thinking about the emperor at this moment. Some quotes.
"How can you not have half the dignity of a royal heir"
"Asshole"
"Little bastard"
If you are an emperor, As Zhu Jinghong's mind echoed, the etiquette officer was still continuing to announce the book.
"I am here to confer you the title of King Xiang, and give me a book of treasures. It is appropriate to respect and inherit it."
Now that I have truly become the King of Xiang, Zhu Jinghong feels helpless.
"Stand up to fear heaven and earth, be careful about your body and cultivate your thoughts. I will always give you the instructions of the time, so as to have the reputation of your command"
"Qinzai"
After the edict was read out, Zhu Jinghong shouted long live three times, and then it was time to award the treasure.
The gold book and gold seal symbolizing the identity of the prince were handed to Zhu Jinghong. Seeing this scene, Zhu Jingyuan felt complicated. He remembered the situation when he was crowned king.
From today on, he is no longer the only prince. Zhu Jinghong is completely equal to him in terms of status.
In this regard, Zhu Jingyuan was happy to see the success, and now he cast a blessing look on his younger brother.
At this point, the entire ceremony is basically over. Next, Zhu Jinghong has to pay a visit to the Fengxian Hall and tell his ancestors that he has reached adulthood.
And if you are a crown prince, it will be even more complicated than this process.There was a lot of trouble, and Zhu Jinghong had to pay a visit to Shizu's Mausoleum and Taizu's Mausoleum.
Compared to ordinary people, the royal family pays much attention to such pomp and circumstance, and they try their best to complicate it.
After all the hard work, it was already noon when it ended, and Zhu Jinghong had to attend the family banquet in Kunning Palace. After all, today was considered a happy event for the royal family.
"Meet the Prince"
When he arrived at Kunning Gate and heard the titles of the eunuchs on the left and right, Zhu Jinghong was a little uncomfortable for a while.
But it was only a moment of confusion. Zhu Jinghong returned to normal and entered the palace. At this time, Prince Rui and others were already waiting.
Even Zhu Jingchun and Zhu Jinghao were invited to wait in the hall, and there is a place for them here today.
"Brother Thirteen"
"Hello, Brother Thirteen"
Seeing Zhu Jinghong come in, Zhu Jingchun and Zhu Jingchun, who were sitting outside, stood up to greet them. Zhu Jinghong nodded slightly.
I saw him walking straight into the palace. He first saluted the emperor and empress, and then looked at his brother and sister-in-law.
After a long process of meeting and greetings, Zhu Jinghong finally sat opposite Zhu Yunsheng, and then the family banquet officially began.
However, due to the contradiction between the fourth and the sixth, this family dinner was only acceptable in appearance. In fact, the two were competing from beginning to end.
