The crown prince's birthday is the first day of the Lunar New Year. It is rumored that the crown prince was originally born on Chinese New Year's Eve, but in order to make her son's birthday the first of the year, the empress deliberately let the midwife report the evening for a while, and waited until the moment when the drum just hit the son to report the birth of the prince.

The prince was born on the first day of the first lunar month, which in itself smeared a very mysterious color on the prince, and also made a strong footnote to the prince's identity as the "true dragon son".

Of course, these are just rumors and are not credible.

On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, the prince and I did not observe the New Year, and we went to the chuang to rest just after the time of the child. Because tomorrow is a big day.

As soon as I opened my eyes the next day, I kissed him on the forehead and said, "Happy birthday, my dear husband." ”

He moved in my arms, let out a confused "um", adjusted his sleeping position, and fell asleep again.

That's not going to work, we have to get up early today. The emperor will come to the East Palace to hold the crown ceremony for the crown prince, and many ministers will also attend. The crown prince's coronation ceremony was a major event for both the royal family and the entire Jin Kingdom.

After teasing him for a long time, he finally opened his sleepy eyes, and said a little unhappily: "Nanfeng, don't mess with me, people are so sleepy." ”

"Shall I sleep with you again in the afternoon? Now His Highness must get up and freshen up, and the outside of the dormitory must be full of people by now. ”

"It's still early, my father won't come so early, let me sleep for a while."

No matter! I pulled the string at the head of the bed. Soon, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and the palace maids and eunuchs entered with all kinds of toiletries, clothes, and crowns, apparently they had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Forcibly put the prince up, no matter how he dressed him and combed his hair, when everything was done and he was sitting at the breakfast table, he still leaned on my shoulder with his eyes slightly closed and said, "I'm so sleepy, I still want to sleep." ”

"Your Highness, it's time for breakfast, hurry up, it's not too early."

"People don't want to eat yet."

"Hurry up, open your mouth, ah."

The Lord, whose eyes were half-closed, began to eat unwillingly.

Excuse me, is it useful to crown such a person?

But the emperor and queen didn't think so, they still had high hopes for their precious son. Just after the hour, the emperor and the queen rushed to the East Palace with a happy face, followed by a group of civil and military officials wearing court clothes and also full of joy.

At one o'clock, the bells and drums rang in unison, and the emperor and queen ascended to the throne. The royal decree held the crown, the curtain, the hairpin, and the gon to the regular servant Chang Gonggong, and my father added the crown, and the Situ Gaoyang King Sima Jue crowned. On the occasion of the crowning, my father knelt down to read the blessing and said: "On the auspicious day of the month, the first Canadian yuan is served." Prince Mu Mu, Sihong Gong. Qin Ruo Haotian, Liuhe is the formula. The rate follows the ancestral test, and there is no end to it. Meishou Weiqi, Jiezi Jingfu. After the prayer, the attendants first tied the crown belt for the prince, and then took off the clothes that the prince was wearing outside, and put on him the crown of his robes.

After the crowning, the ministers congratulated three cups and shouted three long live.

At this time, the father-in-law of the middle and standing servants took out a holy decree and read it in court. It turned out that in view of the fact that the crown prince had become an adult, the emperor greatly increased the scale of the prince's mansion, not only generally promoted the official positions of the original officials, but also added many new officials.

The current East Palace, with the queen's uncle, that is, Yang Zhi's father Yang Jue as the chief Zhan matter, my father led the Taibao, Qi Wang You led the Taifu, and the original Xun Taifu told the old Zhishi. At the same time, a number of young masters, master books, five senses, Gong Cao history, the main record of the history of the door, the record, the household Cao, the law Cao, the cang Cao, the thief Cao, the gong Cao, the book, the door pavilion chief, the door book, the province, and so on.

Listening to Chang Gonggong read it all the way, I realized that I, the prince who was impatient and eager to tear off his dead crown and run away, actually had hundreds of officials under his name, including dozens of people with more than 2,000 stones! This mighty East Palace, the East Palace with hundreds of officials, big and small, is only a child who has just been lying in my arms and asked me to feed him.

Of course, what surprised me the most was that King Qi turned out to be the prince's concubine, what did the emperor think?

After the ceremony, the ministers withdrew from the hall. The emperor and queen also left after a few words of encouragement to the prince. I know that on a day like today, they are also busy, and they don't have time to stay in the East Palace.

What made me nervous all night, it turned out to be over in half an hour at most.

The prince came down from the palace and said to me with a bitter face: "Nanfeng, this thing on your head is so heavy, and your scalp hurts, let's go back to the palace and take it off." ”

I had to rub his head and coax him to say, "I'm afraid I can't take it off today, so your Highness, bear with it." Later, we will go to Hanguang Hall for luncheon, and in the evening it will be a dinner at Lingyuntai. After the dinner, the concubine also accompanied His Royal Highness to the Shenglong Palace, where she received congratulations and worship from thousands of people in the corridor outside the second floor. The crowning ceremony of the crown prince is a major event celebrated by the whole country, and the people are waiting to see the crown prince's demeanor. ”

Speaking of this, I was shocked: when I make a public appearance outside the Shenglong Hall later, those two guys who offer crickets shouldn't come, right? But don't let them recognize you.

Just imagine that scene: the newly crowned crown prince and the crown princess were receiving the people's congratulations on the castle tower outside the Thang Long Palace, and just as everyone was cheering, two guys suddenly shouted: "It is the two of them who deceived us!" What would that look like?

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I comforted myself: last time it was in civilian clothes, a homely dress, but this time it was strictly dressed, and it was so far away, standing high on the city tower, I shouldn't recognize it.
