Early in the morning, Mu Yan took Duanmu Fei, the twins and a group of royal relatives to the Taimiao Temple to sacrifice heaven and earth, the Taimiao, and the shrine for the canonization of the crown prince.

After a series of ceremonies, the group returned to the palace in a mighty way, and the civil and military officials and the noble clans all stood on the Jinluan Hall according to their ranks, only Duanmu Fei went to the East Palace with Mu Chenyi in his arms.

The crown prince's canonization ceremony has officially begun!

Because Mu Chenyi is only three months old, he can neither walk nor speak, so all the rituals today will be completed by Duanmu Fei holding him.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the drum music played, and there was a guide to guide Duanmu Fei, who was holding the child, all the way from the East Palace to the Jinluan Palace, and the ministers on both sides were all looking at the queen and the future prince in unison.

The hall was solemn and solemn.

At this moment, the most excited person is probably the first assistant Duanmu Xian.

He forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and read the decree of the Dasheng Emperor casually, and then Duanmu Fei held the prince to accept the book and the treasure seal, and was worshiped by hundreds of officials.

In a lively atmosphere, the canonization ceremony ended smoothly, which also means that Mu Chenyi is the crown prince of great prominence!

After the ceremony, it was the 100-day banquet between the prince and the eldest princess.

At the banquet, it was naturally a lively and festive scene.

If this is a 100-day banquet for ordinary people, the nurse will carry the child all the way to the guests, but this is a royal 100-day banquet, and it is naturally impossible for the crown prince and the eldest princess to come over and let the courtiers see, and the two children were carried by the nurse to the emperor's side for the ministers to admire.

The ministers at the banquet just looked at each other from such a distance, and some of the ministers who stood far away didn't even see the appearance of the prince clearly, but even so, it did not prevent them from talking about lotus flowers and praising their highness the crown prince as the only one in heaven and on earth.

It should be said that Xiao Zhangzhu was sleeping the whole time, and he didn't even open his eyes, and Mu Chenyi was a curious child, his eyes were rolling around.

The little baby is tired quickly, Mu Chenyi has been hugged and tossed since he went to the Taimiao Temple early in the morning today, and it didn't take long for him to be sleepy and yawn lazily. So Mu Yan asked people to hug the two children.

Although the two protagonists left, the guests were still interested, eating and laughing one by one, beaming with joy, and from time to time to say hello to the emperor and queen.

By the halfway point of the afternoon, the 100-day banquet was over, and Mu Yan and Duanmu Fei walked leisurely towards Chonghua Palace.

Luluo and the others were very interesting, and they were more than ten zhang behind, so they didn't bother the emperor and queen to talk about themselves.

Mu Yan took Duanmu Fei's little hand and ironed her slightly cool little hand with his warm palm.

"Zhen Zhen," Mu Yan was in a good mood today, and shook the hands of the two with a smile, "I remember that you said yesterday that it would snow later, right?" ”

"Hmm." Duanmu Fei looked up at the sky, "Within a stick of incense, it should snow." ”

At this moment, the sky has begun to overcast, and the sun has been blocked by clouds at some point.

Mu Yan's smile deepened, and he proposed with great interest: "Then how about we go to the warm pavilion in the Imperial Garden to enjoy the snow?" ”

"I recently learned a new set of swordsmanship, and it looks very good to dance, how about you play the piano and I dance the sword in the snow to show you?"

To put it bluntly, Mu Yan just didn't want Duanmu to return to Chonghua Palace.

Since the twins were born, they haven't gotten along with each other well, that crying stinky boy is so squeamish that he cries at every turn, he and Duanmu Fei often didn't say a few words, and they were interrupted by the stinky boy crying. As soon as the stinky boy cried, Duanmufei's attention was naturally taken away.

Although the green pothos, Bi Chan and others in the rear couldn't hear what the masters in front of them were saying, they could see that the emperor was "opening the peacock screen" again.

They exchanged glances with each other, and silently slowed down again, widening the distance between them and the emperor.

Duanmu Fei didn't pay attention to Bi Chan and the others behind her at all, she had already been attracted by Mu Yan's words, and she drew a picture of a sword dancing in the snow in her mind, and her hands were a little itchy.

She hadn't drawn in a long time.

Duanmu Fei's eyes lit up, and he held Mu Yan's hand harder, and said, "Ah Yan, why don't you go to Meilin to dance the sword, the red plum blossoms are thick with snow, they must look good!" ”

Mu Yan was as good as a stream, and he was proud in his heart, feeling that he really knew Zhen Zhen's mind the most, and put forward a good idea.

While the two were talking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind them, accompanied by heavy gasps.

In the disagreeing gaze of Bi Chan and the others, an inner servant came to Mu Yan in fear and said, "Your Majesty, King Yi just committed suicide in Taimiao. ”

The chamberlain looked at Mu Yan tremblingly, for fear that he would be angry.

Originally, it didn't matter whether the king was dead or alive, but today is a good day for the crown prince, but he "accidentally" saw blood, which is always not beautiful.

Mu Yan's expression was indifferent, he just raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "How is the injury?" "Since the chamberlain didn't say that Mu Jianming was gone, then it was obviously not dead.

The chamberlain hurriedly replied: "The king rolled down from the bed and wanted to hit the pillar, but his forehead was slightly bruised, and his life was not in danger. ”

Mu Yan pulled the corners of his mouth, and a sneer appeared on his handsome face, knowing that Mu Jianming was reluctant to commit suicide.

Mu Yan pulled out the dagger from his sleeve, threw it to the chamberlain casually, and said lightly: "Tell him, if you want to die, die simply!" ”

"If a person really dies, come back again."

Mu Yan waved his hand and sent the waiter away, but the waiter only agreed, holding the dagger, and ran away in a hurry.

At this time, snowflakes floated in the gray-blue sky, and they fell one after another, just as Duanmu Fei expected, it snowed.

Mu Yan took Duanmu Fei's hand and walked in the direction of the Imperial Garden, and said clearly: "Mu Jianming just wants me not to be happy today!" ”

Today is a big day to establish a prince, once you see blood, it is unlucky. In the final analysis, Mu Jianming relied on himself that he would not want his life, so he deliberately made trouble.

"If he was willing to die, he would have had a chance in the past two years, and he wouldn't have lived until now......" Mu Yan's expression was indifferent, he had already seen through Mu Jianming.

Mu Yan didn't want to bother with people like Mu Jianming at all, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Zhen Zhen, I will accompany my eldest brother to your house tomorrow and ......" He blinked meaningfully and smiled sheepishly, "Give him courage." ”

Duanmufei's eyes lit up and he understood what he meant.

She also wanted to follow them back to her parents' house, but she couldn't leave the two babies behind.

Others often say that the child is still young and can't do without his mother, but Duanmufei knows that it's not that the two babies can't leave her, it's that she can't do without them.

Is she going to take them back to her mother's house with her?

Duanmu Fei looked at Mu Yan with wide eyes, although she didn't say it, Mu Yan already understood her intentions.

In Mu Yan's heart, he wished to leave those two debt collectors behind, but he would never refuse Duanmufei, so early the next morning, Duanmufei took the twins out of the palace first.

On weekdays, Duanmu Fei goes back to her parents' house with light clothes, but this time it is different, the nurse, the palace maid, the grandmother, and the chamberlain follow a bunch, naturally all to take care of the prince and the eldest princess.

Today is Duanmu Xianxiu, he was shocked to see his granddaughter suddenly come back, and when he saw the twins also coming together, he was even more overjoyed.

Looking at the two pink-carved children, Duanmu Xian's heart was almost melting, and he couldn't wait to pluck all the stars in the sky to please them, but he said: "Four girls, you shouldn't bring them back, it's not in accordance with the rules!" ”

After all, Duanmu Xian's body was very honest, and he couldn't help but lean over and take away the little palm beads wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Yesterday, of course, Duanmu Xian also participated in the 100-day banquet, and his seat as the first assistant was relatively close, but after all, he was still two feet away, and he didn't see the two children very clearly, but he didn't expect that today he could not only see it up close, but also hug it.

Duanmu Xian's eyes narrowed with laughter, and he praised: "The eldest princess is really good-looking!" It's not like her father at all, you look exactly like the four girls! ”

"The eldest princess also has a good temperament, she is hugged by a different person, and she doesn't cry."

"Xiao Zhangzhu, I am your great-grandfather, you have to remember your great-grandfather, you will often come to the house to play in the future."

Duanmu Xian gently teased the little palm beads, smiling lovely.

Xiao Zhangzhu was very coaxing, and he giggled when he teased him, which made Duanmu Xian like it even more, and he only felt that his great-granddaughter was close to him.

"Quack!"

There was a sudden rough birdsong outside, and the little starling seemed to know that Duanmu Fei was coming, so he spread his wings leisurely and flew over to this side, stopping on the window sill.

At this moment, the twins were attracted to attention, and both pairs of black phoenix eyes looked towards the little starling.

Mu Chenyi's temperament is far more lively than that of his sister, and he opened his mouth and screamed "ahhhh

Duanmu Xian looked at his great-grandson and smiled even more happily, only thinking that no matter how he looked at it, this child was born with a royal majesty, a proper demeanor of a bright monarch, and he would definitely be extraordinary in the future, a hundred times better than his father.

Mu Chenyi was still shouting "ahhhh

The big girl understood, took a shuttlecock out of the toy box in the corner, and threw it into the air skillfully.

The little starling reacted very quickly and flew up from the window sill, the sharp beak accurately caught the shuttlecock, and then flew around in mid-air to show off, not returning the shuttlecock to the big girl, but putting it in Duanmu Fei's hand.

"Ahhh

Mu Chenyi screamed even more happily, and Xiao Zhangzhu was also looking at the little starling, she was much more gentle, just giggling.

The more Duanmu Xian looked at the twins, the more cute he felt, his mind was attracted by the two children, and he completely forgot to ask Duanmu Fei why he suddenly came back today.

"Quack!" The little starling played shuttlecock twice, and then he got bored and flew out of the study with his wings flapped.

It came out on its front feet, and the little guy on its back feet came in, and said, "Old lady, Zeng Gongzi asks to see you." ”

What Zeng Gongzi! It's obviously Cen Gongzi!! Duanmu Xian frowned.

Wait, why did Cen Yin come here all of a sudden?!

Duanmu Xian's heart beat wildly, faster than ever, and he had a vague premonition that it was not good.

At this time, Duanmu Fei gently stroked his palm and said, "Oh, grandfather, Ah Yan said that today Cen Gongzi is coming to propose." ”

“……”

Duanmu Xian was so frightened that he almost palpitated, and his expression became more complicated.

Cen Yin handed him a Geng post before he went to Huaizhou the year before last, and that time, he confiscated it hard, this time, can he still hold it steady?!

I don't know if it's too late to turn people away now......

Duanmu Xian's thought only then came to mind, and he heard Duanmu Fei say again: "Ah Yan is also here." ”

"......" Duanmu Xian was originally going to give an order to expel the guest, but he could only swallow back the words.

The emperor is here in person, how can Duanmu Xian not turn the emperor away, if this is spread out, won't he be arrogant by the people of the world who say that he is a foreign relative? !

Duanmu Xian sighed secretly in his heart, and could only order the door to open the door to welcome guests.

On this cold day, it was freezing cold, Duanmu Xian didn't let his little granddaughter accompany him, and went to Yimen alone to welcome guests.

Mu Yan came in Weifu, and when he saw the ceremony, he quickly supported Duanmu Xian with his eyes and hands, and said with a smile: "Grandfather is exempt from courtesy." ”

It means that today there are no kings or ministers.

It wasn't Mu Yan who gave Duanmu Xian a headache, he looked at Cen Yin worriedly.

Cen Yin is also in civilian clothes today, wearing a royal blue straight jacket, a polyester belt around his waist, and a small seal and purse on his waist, dressed very formally.

This kind of "formality" saw Duanmu Xian's heart sink a little more.

Duanmuxian welcomed the people to the Zhaohui Hall and invited the two to sit down.

Before the tea was served, Cen Yin handed over the Geng post.

When this big red Geng post appeared in front of him again, Duanmu Xian froze again.

The hall was silent, as if time had stopped.

In the western room, Duanmufei had already called Duanmujun and was pulling her to peek into the main hall.

Silence spread, Duanmu Jun nervously grabbed Duanmu Fei's hand, and stared at Duanmu Xian without blinking.

Finally, Duanmu Xian moved, raised his hand and accepted the letter.

Duanmu Xian looked at Cen Yin with a complicated expression, and his voice was slightly stiff, "You find a matchmaker to propose marriage, three books and six ceremonies, all of them are indispensable!" ”

Cen Yin made a long bow and solemnly responded.

On the one hand, Duanmu Xian felt that it should be like this, and on the other hand, he felt that he was restless, and he almost pinched his thighs to see if it was a dream.

Mu Yan smiled triumphantly, feeling that he had done this thing so beautifully today. With him to give the eldest brother a strong voice, this family affair is really done!

Mu Yan stretched his neck and looked at it, planning to find Duanmu Fei to invite merit, "Ancestral ......"

He was about to ask, when he heard the voice of a little baby "ahhhh

So, all three people in the main hall looked in the direction of the west.

The sisters couldn't hide any longer, so they had to carry the twins out of the western room.

When Duanmu Xian saw Duanmu Jun, he rarely straightened his face and said, "Don't go back to the yard yet!" "A girl's family is hiding here and eavesdropping on what the marriage is like!

What a real woman! Duanmu Xian sighed for the first time.

Duanmujun is not afraid of Duanmuxian's paper tiger at all, with a smile on her face, and the little palm bead in her arms is also smiling.

At this moment, the two nephews looked surprisingly similar.

Duanmu Xian only wanted to hold the little palm bead in his arms and call the heart and liver baby twice, but he still pressed it down, and at this time, Duanmu took two steps forward with a smile and threw his son into Duanmu Xian's arms.

Duanmu Xian hurriedly hugged Mu Chenyi, for fear of scaring him, he turned his face and smiled at him like a book, and he didn't care about training his granddaughter.

Even if Duanmu Xian was no longer happy with this marriage, after more than 20 long months in the past, he had calmed down and also saw Duanmu Jun's determination.

And......

Duanmu Xian's eyes flashed slightly, with Cen Yin's identity, now that Mu Yan is in this position, Cen Yin should be able to have a good end in the future.

That's why he agreed to the marriage.

Of course, their Duanmu family can't be rash when they marry their daughters, and the girls of their Duanmu family must marry in style!

Duanmu Xian felt distressed when he thought that his eldest granddaughter was going to get married, and unceremoniously put forward his various requirements for this marriage: "Our Duanmu family marries the eldest daughter, and everything should be missing. ”

"That's nature." Cen Yin immediately responded with a smile.

Duanmu Xian continued: "Geng Ti is going to be sent to Huangjue Temple to ask Master Yuankong to personally combine the eight characters, and the six rites must also be chosen by him on an auspicious day." ”

"As the old saying goes, birds and geese are deerskinned. The small ritual should be prepared with live geese and deerskins. ”

"The dowry should be one hundred and twenty-eight."

"Also, this house has to be seen by a feng shui master, and then re-renovated."

“……”

Duanmuxian put forward a bunch of harsh requirements, all of which required the ancient rites.

Cen Yin nodded without saying a word, from beginning to end, there was a light smile on the corner of his lips, and his temper was so good.

Duanmufei on the side of "......" was speechless, what kind of ancient books did his grandfather turn over.

Duanmu Jun looked at Duanmu Xian with a smile, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his pupils were bright.

She knew that her grandfather was worried about herself and the gossip outside, so she made these harsh demands, and her grandfather wanted the world to know that she was married upright.

This is a piece of my grandfather's heart, and it also means that my grandfather's promise to this marriage today was not impulsive, and my grandfather should have compromised a long time ago......

The corners of Duanmujun's lips curled up a little higher, and a warm current flowed through his heart.

She knew how hard it was for her grandfather to back down!

Mu Yan and Duanmu Fei didn't stop Duanmu Xian, and the two of them sat on the side and teased Xiao Zhangzhu.

Only Duanmu Xian's voice was left in the hall.

But all the conditions proposed by Duanmu Xian, Cen Yin complied with them all, and he didn't even raise his eyebrows.

Duanmu Xian said a lot of tea, and he said it a little dryly, and he really couldn't think of any other conditions, so he could only stop first and make a righteous statement.

"That's pretty much it."

"The girl of our Duanmu family is not something that can be married casually."

"If you know, go ahead and prepare."

After Duanmu Xian finished speaking, he didn't leave any guests, and sent people away directly.

Cen Yin didn't mean to stay, he stood up like a stream, and made another gesture: "Then I'll leave first." ”

Duanmu Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and pinched a cold sweat for himself in his heart: it is really not easy for him to muster up the courage to speak to Cen Yin like this!

And Cen Yin was not angry at all, whose face was rushed, Duanmu Xian also knew it, his mood was more complicated, and he was more reluctant. The delicate flowers raised by themselves are really going to be picked up by the stinky boys outside......

Duanmuxian sent Cen Yin away, also with the idea of not being out of sight and out of mind, but as a result, he only took a sip of tea, and saw that Duanmu Jun had already stood up and said, "Master Cen, I'll send you." ”

Duanmu Xian didn't have time to stop it at all, so he watched his eldest granddaughter send Cen out of the Zhaohui Hall, and the backs of the two quickly disappeared between the Merlin in front of them.

The cold wind was howling, and the biting wind was coming, but Duanmujun didn't feel the chill at all, and his steps were light.

It didn't take words for her joy to be evident on her face, in the corners of her eyes, in her gestures.

Cen Yin's mood was also very good, when the two looked at each other, the corners of his lips naturally curled slightly, and his beautiful face added a bit of bright color, and Duan Mujun held his breath slightly.

Cen Gongzi is really good-looking!

Duanmujun stopped suddenly.

Cen Yin didn't know why, so he also stopped and looked at her sideways.

He was about to ask a question, but he felt a warmth in his right hand, and her hand took his.

He could clearly feel her warm and delicate palm, and the warmth poured from the palm to his broken heart.

Cen Yin hooked his lips and smiled, his face softened, and his smile deepened.

He took her hand firmly, tightly, firmly.

Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son.
