The weather is getting colder and colder, and Ning Zhi has already arranged one thing.

That is Pei Heng's crown gift.

Twenty years old was a crucial time for men in ancient times.

Crowning means that a man has completely grown into an adult. Even after the crown, they are eligible to inherit the family business and can go out to live independently.

And the crown ceremony, half of it is presided over by the elders, the father or the eldest brother.

Now, Pei Heng's father is still in Linjing, and this time he will definitely not be able to catch up.

Brother...... The crown prince has passed away.

Ning Zhi has been arranging this matter, but she didn't think about who would preside over this crown ceremony.

She definitely won't succeed, and she doesn't want Pei Heng to miss this important etiquette. It's very distressing.

And Pei Heng has a special identity. When crowned, it is to kneel.

If it weren't for his father and brother, who would crown a prince? Who would dare?

When she was worried about this, Pei Heng knew.

In the end, he said to her: "I added a hairpin to you, and now you can crown me." ”

"You add a hairpin to me, I don't have to kneel, I crown you, you have to kneel. Even if you and I don't care, don't people in the world care? Ning Zhi frowned.

I have to say, this is ancient after all. A man's knees are very different.

"I'll think about it again and change this etiquette. You are the prince, how many people in this world can make you kneel? Ning Zhi shook his head slightly.

When Pei Heng saw her say this, he couldn't insist.

The heart says then don't kneel? But come to think of it, that's not like a word.

After all, the coronation itself is an important rule, and kneeling cannot be exempted.

Ning Zhi pondered about this for a long time, and finally came up with a plan.

After listening to this, Pei Heng also nodded: "This is very good, you bothered." ”

It turned out that Ning Zhi decided to simply make this crown bigger.

Just have fun in the square of Xihua City, Pei Heng can't kneel down to his father and brother, just kneel to heaven and earth.

When the time comes, choose the oldest old man in Xihua City and crown him on the side.

The prince can't kneel down Ning Zhi, and he can't kneel down to the generals, but he has to kneel in front of a flat-headed common man to be saluted. But it's not the same.

When the time comes, it will only depend on what Ning Zhi wants to say.

Did the old man in Xihua City crown him, it was Pei Heng who was close to the people. It is also Pei Heng's blessing to touch the old man.

And the public crowning, so that the world can see that His Royal Highness King Chen, who is a fully adult, is already a great general, and there is no harm in all benefits.

At that time, where will anyone kneel to him or her?

After all, it wasn't directly aimed at the old man.

Things are set, and the time is about the same.

On the 30th day of September, Ning Zhi prepared everything she needed for the next day. to eat with peace of mind.

Pei Heng has always felt that it is very subtle.

This...... It's a ...... feeling to have your fiancée do the coming-of-age ceremony It's hard to say.

He remembered Ning Zhi's etiquette again, which he also arranged and did directly in the palace.

He couldn't help but think of what Zhizhi had said in the past, saying that the two of them had grown up together.

Isn't it?

Although he was seventeen years old when he married her, he had experienced more in the past three years than in the past seventeen years.

And she, from a little girl, became his woman.

Growing up together, how good, and finally getting older together, better.

After dinner, Pei Heng took Ning Zhi to the house to sleep: "Don't worry, they can handle it, it's just a crown ceremony, I feel sorry for you being so tired." ”

Ning Zhi hugged his neck: "I have to care about you if you feel distressed, this is a big deal." I'll spoil you a little less from now on, my lord, you have to spoil me more. ”

"Hmm, our Royal Highness has completely become an adult, are you lost?" Ning Zhi lay down and pinched Pei Heng's nose.

Pei Heng pulled her troublesome little hand away: "Still making trouble?" What time has it been. ”

Ning Zhi snorted a few times, turned over and gave him a back: "Sleep, sleep." ”

Pei Heng hugged her and pulled up the quilt, thinking that it was cold, and she slept well with one in her arms.

In fact, although the two of them have done that, it has only been that once so far.

Last time, Ning Zhi drank a few sips of wine and made trouble, but in the end he didn't do anything.

Pei Heng is also very modest, but because of that time, now they have less time to sleep together.

It's been cold lately, so I've always gotten together again.

I had a good night's sleep, and the next day the two of them were woken up early.

After a brief breakfast, we headed to the square.

Everything is ready, because it is a modified version of the coronation, so it is not the same.

But to be honest, the last time the royal family had a coronation was thirty or forty years ago.

Now the officials of the Ministry of Rites are not there, and no one actually knows if it is right or not.

Ning Zhi also asked from the Linjing City Rite Department, and the process has changed a lot.

However, Pei Heng first respected the ancestors of heaven and earth, knelt in the prepared place on the square, facing the direction of Linjing.

Then General Zhu, the oldest general in Xihua City, recited the congratulatory speech.

When the greetings were finished, an old man who was 98 years old was selected.

This old man is really in good health, and in an environment like Xihua City, he can live so long. I look at it and I'm still in good spirits.

He stepped forward and took the purple gold crown handed by Xuan Lei. Then his hand shook slightly, but he put the purple gold crown on Pei Heng's head steadily.

Then swallowed a mouthful of foam before he spoke: "Crowning is a gift, family affairs are successful, blessings are enjoyed forever, and happiness is long!" ”

Then came the congratulations of the guards around him: "Blessings and longevity!" ”

In the distance, even the soldiers were shouting this.

Pei Heng stood up and smiled: "Blessings will be enjoyed forever, blessings will be long, and we must be with everyone." ”

When the prayer was over, the old man was helped down.

He walked back to his family and smiled: "The old man is old, I didn't expect to be able to crown the prince!" Blessed, blessed! ”

Ning Zhi stepped forward at this time: "I wish you a year older." ”

It's getting bigger.

"Thank you for your hard work." Pei Heng smiled and took her hand down.

Because today is Pei Heng's birthday, a wave of food was distributed in the city.

After returning home, there is a simple banquet.

In addition to those close to him, it was Lord Huang and a few generals. It's not grand.

However, after all, I also congratulate Pei Heng on turning twenty.

And the holy decree and reward of Linjing City also came in the afternoon of this day.

Although he didn't catch up with the crown ceremony in the morning, after all, it was Emperor Jianwen who was thinking about his youngest son.

The only son he left.

just brought two beautiful palace maids, and directly asked Pei Heng to give the two little generals as concubines.

This hand made Ning Zhi satisfied.

After all, he hasn't seen His Highness yet, it's okay, and it's worth commendating.

And Pei Heng thought, there is one Zhizhi, which is enough.
