Chapter 219: Father's Recognition Ceremony III
Of course, Xuanyuan Che and Shi Yunqing didn't come by the way, they came here on purpose.
Of course, to be specific, Xuanyuan Che came over on purpose, and Shi Yunqing still acted as an escort.
The purpose of their coming was to finish what they hadn't done yesterday, that is, Xuanyuan Che forwarded the letter he was going to give to Wei Qingluan yesterday to her.
Yesterday, Xuanyuan Che returned to the capital around noon, and after seeing Xuanyuan Yu, when he heard that he was going to send another person to deliver a message to Wei Qingluan, he immediately asked him to do it. Of course, Xuanyuan Yu would not refuse.
But it was a bit unreasonable to run the Jingnan Royal Mansion twice in one day, so Xuanyuan Che chose to participate in the ceremony today under the pretext of passing by.
Glancing at Wei Qingluan, seeing that she had been holding Wei Qingyun's hand, Xuanyuan Che knew in his heart that if he wanted to say these things, he would have to wait until the ceremony was over. It's okay, the prince's gaze at this girl just now was too gloomy, and he also wanted to remind Wei Qingluan alone.
There is no need to elaborate on the different minds of the few people present, seeing that the auspicious time is coming, the people of the palace will also prepare everything they need.
Due to the death of Wei Qingluan's sister and brother, and Wei Qingyun's age, today's ceremony is much simpler.
As the sand in the hourglass placed on the table next to the main hall slowly leaked out, the old prince of Jin stood up tremblingly and said, "The ceremony of King Xuanyuan Changqun of Jingnan to accept Xiao'er surnamed Wei as a righteous son begins now. ”
With the words, the old prince of Jin put a royal genealogy that had been prepared on the sandalwood table next to Jin, and continued: "Xuanyuan Changqun burned incense to tell the elders and ancestors. "In the formal ceremony, it is necessary to go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestral tablet. But after all, it is a royal ancestral hall, and it involves a lot of opening it once, so directly offering the genealogy that has long passed away can be regarded as informing all the elders and ancestors.
As soon as his words fell, Xuanyuan Changqun walked over and took the incense from the hand of the attendant, lit it and inserted it into the incense burner in front of him, and then knelt down on the cyan mat and kowtowed three times.
After Xuanyuan Changqun got up, the old prince of Jin looked at Wei Qingyun and said, "The righteous son Wei Qingyun worships the ancestors. Since then, I have entered my Xuanyuan family and been protected by the ancestors of Xuanyuan. ”
According to the plan, Xuanyuan Changqun took Wei Qingyun and helped him light incense and insert it into the incense burner. Wei Qingyun has already been taught by Wei Qingluan a few times, and he knows in his heart that kneeling down and kowtowing is a good look.
Then Wei Qingyun served tea to Xuanyuan Changqun, and the ceremony ended.
Originally, the crown prince and the old prince of Jin agreed that they would leave when the ceremony was over. The old prince of Jin has no opinion, but the prince is dissatisfied because Xuanyuan Changqun, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince are close, so he doesn't want to give Jingnan Wangfu this face.
But at this time, seeing Wei Qingyun following behind Xuanyuan Changqun, following Xuanyuan Changqun's example, and inviting them to go to the warm pavilion where the banquet had already been set up to participate in the banquet, the old prince of Jin couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart.
When the emperor invited him over, the old prince of Jin agreed to it. Of course, if he doesn't come, it's perfectly fine for the prince to come alone. The old prince of Jin did not give the emperor a son, but came because of his similar identity and experience to Xuanyuan Changqun.
The old prince of Jin was also jealous of the former emperor in his early years, and his heirs were thin, and only one daughter also married into his fiefdom Jindi. Now in the capital, the Jin Wangfu lives with him and his old wife.
In the past, when he was in Jindi, his daughter often took her children to visit them, and he didn't see his daughter and those children again for a few years. So now that he suddenly saw Wei Qingyun, a child who was similar in age to the youngest grandson he liked when he left Jindi, the old prince of Jin suddenly felt a sigh in his heart.
In the past few years, he didn't want to cause trouble to his daughter and son-in-law, so he didn't even allow them to visit him in Beijing, and he really didn't know if he would be able to see their family in his lifetime.
Therefore, the old prince of Jin immediately forgot the agreement with the prince, and directly responded to the invitation of Xuanyuan Changqun's father and son.
If it was just an old prince of Jin, the prince would not look at it at all. But when he saw that Xuanyuan Che and Shi Yunqing both looked like they wanted to stay as a matter of course, Prince Xuanyuan Hao also decided to stay.
Because I didn't expect Xuanyuan Che and Shi Yunqing to come, the two tables of banquets had already been arranged in the warm pavilion. At this time, it was difficult to say goodbye to separation, so Xuanyuan Changqun directly invited everyone to go to the warm pavilion together.
After a banquet, although there was an undercurrent between Xuanyuan Hao and Xuanyuan Che, the guests and hosts were happy.
The old prince of Jin was old, and after talking to Xuanyuan Changqun and Concubine Liu's mother and son, he was a little tired, and after drinking a cup of tea, he got up to say goodbye.
Seeing this, the prince had no choice but to leave with him.
As soon as they left, Xuanyuan Changqun and Concubine Liu saw that Xuanyuan Che and Shi Yunqing were still sitting there drinking tea, and the mother and son looked at each other, and they both understood what the other party was thinking.
Xuanyuan Changqun stood up first and said to Concubine Liu: "Mother, I am a little too drunk, first go to the study to drink a cup of tea and sober up for a while, and then talk to Che'er and the two." ”
"Okay, okay," Concubine Liu nodded and said, "Yesterday, Yun Qing taught Qingyun to fiddle with those playing objects, and the Trojan horse was a little crooked, and I wanted him to see it." When they've helped pack up, let them go looking for you. ”
Those playthings hadn't moved to the courtyard where Wei Qingyun's sister and brother lived, and they were still where Concubine Liu was, so when Xuanyuan Changqun left, the group returned to the inner courtyard.
Because he got up early and tossed for half a day, Wei Qingyun had already yawned again and again. When I got to the courtyard of Concubine Liu, I fell asleep.
After setting Wei Qingyun to sleep and pointing Shi Yunqing to the side room to fiddle with those objects, Concubine Liu went back to the inner room under the pretext that she was afraid that Wei Qingyun would be cold to the stomach without anyone to guard her. In the living room, Xuanyuan Che and Wei Qingluan were left, as well as Mama Ning who was waiting beside them.
This is also based on yesterday's experience, Concubine Liu didn't want to make trouble, so she simply let the two of them talk in her room.
If Wei Qingluan and Xuanyuan Che didn't understand before, after Mama Ning also found an excuse to leave, the two of them immediately reacted.
Although the two of them were a little uncomfortable at first, then they both thought of the time they thought of when they were alone yesterday and they were relieved to go with the flow. glanced at each other, but found that the other party was also looking at themselves, and they couldn't help but avoid their eyes.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird.
Xuanyuan Che quickly adjusted his emotions and said, "Miss Wei, I came here yesterday to bring you a letter. The fourth brother on Jishitang's side has already asked people to do it, and soon there will be no more hooligans and ruffians making trouble. ”
