Chapter 10: Murong is ruthless
Moxin's food building is very lively, and there is a very important banquet here in Fengyun Country today, that is, the ruthless coming-of-age ceremony of Murong, the eldest prince of Fengyun Kingdom.
In ancient times, men could marry and have children when they reached the age of seventeen, so a coming-of-age banquet would be held at the age of seventeen. Ordinary families are eating, drinking, and lively.
And the royal family is a big deal at every turn. The sky is not yet fully bright, and the palace maids in the palace are already busy turning the sky over.
There are festive red ribbons everywhere, and this decoration is almost like a wedding scene.
The ground was cleaned, and the little snowflakes that had just fallen were immediately swept away by the palace maid.
The corridor, which was already very clean, was wiped over and over again, and it seemed that they couldn't stop and rest without wiping off a layer of skin from the agarwood handrail.
All the cutlery is brand new and is heated and sterilized with special tongs, so that no one can touch the utensils at all times.
The tableware is sterilized and placed in the fixed tableware tray, and the palace maid wears special gloves and holds the tray to ensure that her hands do not directly touch the tray during the process.
Just as everyone was busy, they only heard a clang, followed by the voice of a little palace maid kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, "The slave didn't mean it, the slave didn't mean it, please don't send me to Xinnuku ......"
"Sinuku is just a place to suffer, and if you continue to stay here, you're going to lose your head. The eldest prince is the most particular, and you dare to let your unclean hair float on this snack, you don't want this head, do you? Pull it down. ”
"Steward, the slave knows that it is wrong, the steward ......" The woman cried heartbroken, and those who went into Xinnuku were doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, and the life was not good, not to mention, and her life was not long. I heard that most of them died of illness due to poor food and housing, overwork, and overwork.
The chief steward scolded very harshly, "You all cheer me up, but if there is a slight mistake in the banquet waiting for the meeting, your head is small, if you make the eldest prince angry, I am afraid that it will be the nine clans." When the time comes, I can't cry if I want to. ”
Ladies of the palace, look at me, I look at you, everyone is panicked, and they have to be more cautious.
In winter, some trees are already bare, and some people like to lose their hair in winter, and unfortunately the maid was one of them.
It was just a small hair, a small thing. But this is a small matter in ordinary people's homes, but it is a big thing in the palace. A big thing that can lose your head.
All this stems from the ruthlessness of the eldest prince Murong, who made the palace maids and guards of the entire palace frightened and avoided him.
Murong Ruthless has perfect facial features, and he definitely looks like a male god among handsome guys, but such a man is moody and has a serious cleanliness habit.
Such a prince makes them live like a slave for a long time. Look at the other two princes, although they are twin brothers who look different, but they are all very friendly, at least they won't ask for so much.
These palace maids have silently scolded Murong ruthlessly in their hearts, although they are male gods, but tossing them like this way, they naturally like the other two princes even more.
"Brother, did you say that eldest brother he will go to the coming-of-age ceremony today?" Murong Ruyu was wearing a red robe, dazzling like fire.
He asked with a smile as he looked at the light snow that was still drifting outside.
"Don't you know him? It is estimated that nine times out of ten it will not go. Murong Allure was dressed in a white robe, gentle as jade. Like an immortal who does not eat fireworks in the world, and like the warm sun in winter, it looks warm.
He picked up the jade pot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and poured another cup for Murong Ruyu.
"But the eldest brother has always been moody, maybe on this special day, he will go to the banquet as soon as he is happy. How can you say that this banquet is all held for him, he always has to show his face, right? ”
"You all know that he always does things as he pleases, and if he really doesn't go, his father and mother are reluctant to blame him."
Murong Ruyu pursed her mouth, and said with some dissatisfaction: "That's, it's like me, whenever something happens, they like to talk about me." At other times, I really wondered if I was the child that my father and queen mother picked up from the side of the road. ”
Murong Chengcheng smiled: "You, I am twin brothers with you, like you say, then I will also pick it up?" Don't say this in front of the queen mother in the future, otherwise she will be sad. ”
"Oh, I see, but I'm just a little unhappy. Why is the eldest brother so cold and cold, but it makes the mother and father more concerned, and they don't want to think about who is more like their child. ”
Murong Ruyu was a little jealous, a lively and active person like him was not the most likable, he couldn't even compare to an ice cube brother, and he was also very depressed.
Could it be that God was so jealous of him, giving him a good skin, a good character, and a bunch of admiring fans, but there was no parent who loved him the most.
Sure enough, perfection is flawed. Like his eldest brother, he was not close to anyone, and he actually broke his father's heart and queen mother, for fear that he would not find a daughter-in-law in the future.
On the surface, it is a coming-of-age ceremony, but in essence, it is to choose a concubine for the eldest brother.
It's just that I don't know whose daughter fell into eight lifetimes of bad luck and was picked out.
If he was allowed to face the iceberg face of his eldest brother all day long, and he couldn't say two words a day, he would vomit blood and die in minutes.
"I see, the eldest brother marries a concubine and goes home as an ornament and puts it aside, just a person like him, where does he know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. I'm afraid of other people's daughters, so I'm alone and guarding a name. Murong Ruyu sighed a little, although he was his eldest brother, he had always been a person who did not help his relatives.
"It's such a big person, it's time to be more restrained. Let the queen mother and father hear it, and it's time to punish you again. Murong Chengcheng looked at Murong Ruyu with some helplessness, although they were twin brothers, their personalities were completely different.
Although the personalities of the three brothers are different, they all have good hearts, and there is no open and secret fighting.
Murong Ruyu stuck out his tongue, what was wrong with him talking, could it be that the iceberg of the eldest brother was so tormenting, and he was not allowed to say it. Look at every time the eldest brother appears, it makes people panic, it's annoying.
The banquet was about to start, and Murong Ruyu followed Murong Allure to the main hall. At this time, the main hall was already full of people, and hundreds of civil and military officials were there, and they saluted when they saw them.
There were women of the right age in the family, all of whom were brought over and sat in the position of the Qianjin Platform on the side.
These daughters are tall, short, fat and thin, and they still have their own merits.
When they saw Murong Ruyu and Murong Allure, they were all a little shy, and they had heard of the beauty of several princes, but the eldest prince had a strange and unpleasant personality, and the second prince and the third prince were approachable and more suitable for being husbands.
The great prince's cleanliness habit is well known to everyone in Fengyun Country, and if he can get out of the country when he encounters it, thank God. If you face it every day, I'm afraid that nine lives like a cat are not enough to die.
Therefore, in line with the principle of the preciousness of life, the education of the people of Fengyun Country to their children is to cherish life and stay away from Murong ruthlessly.
Now this group of daughters are all going to Murong Allure and Murong Ruyu, although these two princes are only fifteen years old, they can also choose concubines in the royal family.
Emperor Murong Yun and Empress Liu Yiya held hands and walked into the hall very lovingly.
I have to say that although Murong Yun is already middle-aged, the years have not left too many traces on his face, and he is still handsome. And the queen is even better maintained, and those who don't know think she is a girl who has not left the cabinet.
Everyone saluted, and the queen looked at the seat next to her, which was still empty, and sighed in her heart, "This kid just won't let her worry, and I've told him many times, so I should be there." “
The emperor saw it and gave the queen a relaxed look.
After about a stick of incense, Murong Ruthless wore an ink-colored robe with an indifferent expression, and walked in slowly. Ten meters behind him were two personal guards who followed him.
He is served by personal guards on weekdays, he doesn't like women, and the house is full of guards. This is also a headache for the queen, she can't even see a woman, and when will she be able to hold her grandson.
Just as Murong was walking ruthlessly, the daughters sitting on the Qianjin Platform began to act. They quickly pulled something out of their pockets and smeared it.
Some took out rouge gouache and painted their faces beyond recognition; Some took out eyebrow pencils and drew their eyebrows like beards; Some made their mouths into big red sausages, and some even more powerful ones actually smeared black mud directly on their faces. The dress, which was originally good-looking, was also messed up. It was supposed to be a good hairstyle, but it was a mess.
This is simply unbearable for a person who is obsessed with cleanliness.
You look at me, I look at you, and I'm very satisfied with my masterpiece. This is the countermeasure that they have unanimously discussed.
For the sake of their happiness and life, they unanimously reached a consensus.
So when Murong ruthlessly walked to the front of the main hall, Qianjintai was already like a pile of chaotic people.
"The sons and daughters participated in the father, the queen and the mother." Murong saluted ruthlessly and sat on the side.
"Big brother." Murong Chengcheng and Murong Ruyu greeted Murong Ruthless together, and Murong Ruthless just glanced at them, which was regarded as a response.
Murong Ruyu looked away with some dissatisfaction, and his eyes were stunned at this time. Were these women the ones he had seen before?
He tugged at Murong Chengcheng's sleeve and stammered, "Brother, brother, I, I'm not dazzled, right?" ”
Murong Chengcheng looked at him with a little crying and laughing, these women would rather die than be the concubines of the eldest brother.
The emperor and the queen also looked over, and the faces were obviously not good. Especially the queen, some of her face turned pale.
Her baby son, is it so unbearable? Let Miss Qianjin unite together, at the expense of self-destruction of the image?
As a mother, I'm going crazy.
But it's not just two people, it's all people. As the emperor and queen, you can't hold all the ministers accountable for their crimes. So, I had to be lenient.
The most calm thing is that Murong is ruthless, his eyes don't look at Qianjintai at all, in his eyes, women are trouble.
He likes to be quiet, and it is only when he sees his mother's repeated requests that he will come to such a boring coming-of-age banquet.
"Father, mother, son, and retired." Murong ruthlessly dropped a sentence coldly, and then turned to leave.
It seems that the rules of the palace are decorations for him, and it is his prerogative to come and go freely.
Watching Murong leave ruthlessly, those daughters were like civilians dying of hunger one by one when they saw the gold jewelry falling from the sky, not to mention how happy they were.
If it weren't for the unhappy faces of the emperor and the queen, they would all want to celebrate by dancing on the piano now.
The queen's eyes were full of helplessness, and she thought: Could it be that her son doesn't like women? But I didn't hear of any man he liked.
It must be these ordinary daughters that he can't look down on, and it seems that he has to find a noble and unique woman to match.
The princess of Meiyu Country is not bad, that Jin Shuxiu is not only the first beauty of Meiyu Country, but also the first talented girl. It's going to be a good match for her precious son.
It's just that this age is a bit young, and it will take a year to reach it. It seems that she has to think of a way to let the two countries communicate more and create more opportunities for them to meet.
