Chapter 56
According to the etiquette system of the Dayan Empire, a man who has reached the age of 20 is considered an adult, and if his parents have no mourning period, he can hold a crown ceremony. [Full text reading]
However, Huang Ye, who wanted to be the crown prince back then, was forced by the tense situation of the court and politics, and was gifted early at the age of seventeen and declared adulthood.
Now, this prince Aiqing is two years ahead of schedule and wears a golden dragon crown that symbolizes adulthood, although the scene is grand, but the turmoil caused is not small.
You must know that the current emperor is in the prime of life, and the flood has subsided, the world can be described as the country and the people, and the crown prince's coronation ceremony is really not necessary to be held in advance.
Some people say that perhaps it is because there is a force in the court towards the second prince Yan, and the emperor did this in order to establish the majesty of the crown prince.
Thinking about it this way, it does make some sense.
His Royal Highness Yan is only one year younger than the prince, but he is taller than the prince, although he is impatient, but he is much calmer than the prince, and he has the momentum of the son of heaven who is not shocked by the humiliation and is noble.
Now that the crown prince has not yet made a meritorious achievement, Yan has successfully pacified the victims. By his side, there were more than a dozen scribes who were willing to follow him for the rest of their lives, all of whom were famous young talents in the world.
But by the prince's side, it seems that there is no one else available except for the eunuchs, palace maids who serve him, and Jing Tingrui, who is often sent out by the emperor.
It can only be said that the prince's scheming is too shallow and he doesn't know how to cultivate his own power. He assisted the emperor, and when he reviewed the recitals of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, he also offended some powerful and deep-rooted old emperors, and they even secretly accused the prince of being unfilial and disrespecting the elderly.
This made his situation very bad, so the emperor held the crown prince's coronation ceremony in advance.
This statement is the most recognized, so when Yan and Jing Tingrui returned together and appeared in the main hall to send a belated congratulations to the crown prince, those civil and military officials had different expressions on their faces, and they were simply waiting to see the excitement.
However, until the end of the court meeting, the prince and Yan were all right, but maybe it was just a sunny day on the surface, but there were waves and undercurrents in private, and this roommate was commonplace in the Dayan royal family.
After Li Deyi announced his retirement from the court, the emperor invited the two princes to go to the imperial study together, saying that there was something to discuss.
Aiqing was very happy, because he was able to stay with Yan for a while, and listened to him say something about what he had seen in the disaster area.
Huang Ye rewarded them with many desserts in the imperial study. There are crystal winter melon cakes, which are boiled with rock sugar and wolfberry, which are crystal clear, sweet but not greasy.
and amber peach kernels sprinkled with white sesame seeds while hot, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth after eating. Rose halva is Aiqing's favorite snack, in addition to seasonal mint wine stuffed cakes, sweet, fat and soft, oily and crystalline, with a distinct taste.
This dish of dim sum, as well as the grapefruit tea paid tribute by Xiliang Kingdom, are all on the table, full of color, flavor and fragrance, very attractive. Coupled with the pleasant conversation between fathers, sons, and brothers, the atmosphere in this study room is as warm as the sunshine of spring, which is extremely comfortable.
Father, I don't know how my father's body is? Do the people of Peking University have any new prescriptions? Yan put down the turquoise tea cup and asked with concern.
Some time ago, he went to Changchun Palace to meet his father, but the stay was too short, and his father still had things to do, so he had to ask his father about his father's physical condition.
Still the same, Huang Ye sighed depressedly, and said extremely distressedly, your father's temper, you all know that he never retreats to do things, and he takes everything on himself. Beidou said that when he gave birth to you before, he suffered a lot and fell ill. Now it's even worse. That's why he will be good for a while, and he will be bad for a while, and there will never be a stable time.
Daddy can't do without the soup jar every day now, and it's been too hard this day! Aiqing couldn't help but answer, he felt no less distressed about his father than his father, he only hated himself for being useless, and he couldn't help with the affairs of the harem.
So what to do? Yan listened and frowned, the father and son were like eating bitter melon, all of them were sad, Yan said with emotion, should his father not be the queen in order to recover well?
As soon as he said this, Yan's face changed suddenly, and he got up and knelt down to Huang Ye and said, the son lost his words for a while, and hoped that his father would forgive him!
Father, the emperor's brother is too worried about his father, so he will be so reckless, and I beg my father to forgive him! Aiqing also hurriedly knelt down.
Arise, all of you. I didn't think that Huang Ye didn't care very much, the two brothers looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do
