After the ceremony began, the praise began to be sung: "The three additions have begun, please bring out the winner."
The musicians began to play music, and Fan Bingrong and Prince Rui got up from the table.
Li Zian walked out of the east room and was sitting on the crown table, facing the incense table.
Those who like it lay the required items at the south end of Li Zian's seat.
The hymn is sung: "The first crown."
Li Zi'an knelt down on the table while Fan Bingrong went to the washroom, washed his hands and dried them with the help of the praisers.
After finishing, Fan Bingrong bowed to Prince Rui, then walked behind Li Zian and began to tie his hair.
Then Fan Bingrong stood up and came to the deacon wearing a scarf.
The deacon holding the kerchief moves slightly forward and presents the kerchief.
Fan Bingrong holds the back end of the crown in his right hand and the front end of the crown in his left hand. He walks to and stands in front of the crown bearer.
Then he gave a congratulatory speech: "On the auspicious day of the month, you will start to wear clothes of the Yuan Dynasty. Abandon your young aspirations, follow you and become virtuous. The test of longevity is only for Qi, and you will be blessed."
Immediately afterwards, Fan Bingrong solemnly put a scarf on Li Zi'an.
Then the two stood up and sang in praise: "The one wearing the crown wears straight and deep clothes."
Then Li Zian put on dark clothes under the service of his servants.
The praisers loudly said: "Disciples, be filial when you enter, be disloyal when you go out, be sincere and trustworthy, love others and be kind, and study literature if you have spare capacity for action..."
"Two plus straight-skirted deep clothes."
"The one with the crown is suitable for the east room and wears a leather bedding suit."
Fan Bingrong gave a congratulatory message: "The auspicious month and the day of the month are the days of Shen Erfu. Respect for your majesty and Shushen virtue. May you live for thousands of years and receive blessings forever."
"Aspire to the Tao, base on virtue, rely on benevolence, and wander in art.
"China has been a country that values literature and martial arts since ancient times. As a son of China, you should value literature and morals, practice martial arts, and protect your family and country.
"I have no clothes that day, so I share the same robe with you. I am the king's master, and I am repairing my spear..."
"Three plus crowns."
"The one wearing the crown wears a big cloak."
"With the correctness of the year and the order of the moon, Xian Jia obeys. Brothers are here to achieve great virtue. The yellow ones have no boundaries and are blessed by heaven..."
"A gentleman cherishes his virtues, preserves his righteousness, and performs sacrifices. His rituals are in the heart and not limited to the body. The Master said: Sacrifice as if he were present, sacrifice to the gods as if the gods were present. If I am not here, it would be as if I did not sacrifice..."
Shen Tianshu knelt down and sat down below, second only to several veterans of Prince Rui's palace. This really attracted a lot of attention and triggered a lot of discussions and questions.
Fortunately, she was wearing a mask at this time, so she didn't have to show her true face, so she didn't feel too embarrassed.
And since the crowning ceremony, she has no time to think about other people's eyes and comments.
All her attention was drawn to Li Zian.
Li Zian was born very handsome, and now he was crowned and dressed three times, as if he was watching him transform from a child into an adult.
His long hair was all tied up high, he was wearing dark clothes and a big cloak, and he was wearing a royal hat. He was really handsome, and he seemed to suddenly have a more mature and stable feeling.
Standing on it, Li Zian could naturally feel Shen Tianshu's gaze, and even in his busy schedule, he took the time to look at her.
Those who praised him poured wine and sang: "He who gives me the crown."
Fan Bingrong stood up from the table and bowed.
Li Zian sat upright behind the winner's table, facing the incense table.
Those who liked it handed over the wine cup.
Fan Bingrong took over the wine cup, walked to the banquet and congratulated Li Zi'an, saying: "Since the wine is pure, I recommend it to you. I worship and sacrifice it to confirm your auspiciousness. I will bear the end of heaven and never forget my longevity test."
After Li Zi'an bowed to Fan Bingrong, he stood up to receive the wine, offered sacrifices and drank wine in front of the banquet.
Then he handed the wine cup back to the admirer, bowed to Fan Bingrong again, and thanked Fan Bingrong for completing the crowning ceremony for him.
Fan Bingrong stood up and returned to his seat after paying his respects.
Li Zi'an paid homage to those who praised him, and those who praised him responded with his thanks.
The praise continues: "The one with the prefix."
Fan Bingrong walked to the table, opened his congratulatory speech, and said: "The etiquette is ready, and the month and day are auspicious, and the word "your name" is announced, and the word "love" is Kongjia. It is a good thing for a fashionable man, and it is suitable for him, and he will be protected forever..."
Then Fan Bingrong untied the ribbon and showed
Open the scroll that was written long ago.
I saw two words written neatly on it - Zhu Qi.
This was the confession Fan Bingrong gave Li Zi'an after discussing with Prince Rui.
Li Zi'an said to him, "Although Zhu Qi is not very sensitive, he dares to come so late at night." Then he bowed to Fan Bingrong and thanked him.
After hearing Li Zian's words, the guests in the courtyard began to exchange glances with each other again.
Isn't this word a bit too big?
The hymn is sung: "The one who wins the crown bows three times."
Li Zian sat upright and the whole audience was silent.
The hymn is sung: "The crowned person worships his parents and expresses gratitude for their parents' kindness in raising him."
Li Zian faced Prince Rui and bowed solemnly.
The hymn is sung: "Those who win the title pay homage to their teachers, study hard and make progress."
Li Zi'an faced Fan Bingrong and bowed solemnly.
Praise is sung: "Worship the statue of Confucius."
Li Zian faced the statue of Confucius behind the incense table and bowed solemnly.
Finally, a hymn was sung: "The winner pays homage to his ministers and guests."
Li Zian expressed his thanks to the guests of honor, Zanli, the deacon and others.
Then he bowed to all the guests present, and everyone stood up to respond.
At this point, the ceremony is over.
If normal procedures were followed, during the crowning ceremony, Prince Rui, as the host, would have to stand up several times to bow to Fan Bingrong, who was the guest of honor.
However, these steps were all omitted by Fan Bingrong with a stroke of his pen.
None of the guests felt anything was wrong.
After all, Prince Rui's identity was there, so it was inappropriate to keep saluting Fan Bingrong.
So Prince Rui only stood for a while and walked a few steps at the beginning. At this time, his body was not tired at all and he was very energetic.
He simply stood up and walked to the door of the main hall, intending to say hello to the guests who came to attend the crowning ceremony.
But as soon as he walked out, he was surrounded by several veterans with red eyes.
Several people shouted: "Your Majesty——"
"My lord, are you really awake?"
"Your Majesty, for such a big matter, you..."
"Okay, I know you all have a lot to ask, let's go in and talk slowly."
Prince Rui raised his hand and patted their shoulders one by one. After thinking for a while, he finally gave up the idea of going out to meet the guests. After all, there were too many people and it would be bad if something happened.
"Okay!" Everyone wanted to know how Prince Rui woke up, how his body was doing, and what happened that year...
All kinds of questions were swirling in everyone's hearts, and for a moment they didn't know what to ask first.
As for those people outside, they can say whatever they want. Who has time to care about them now?
So the ordinary guests who came to attend the crowning ceremony watched Prince Rui come out, said a few words to a few veterans, and then led them inside.
Seeing Prince Rui walking normally, everyone below had different thoughts, but their eyes looking at Lady Tong became more and more intense.
Who dares to say that he or his family will never get sick? Especially if there are elderly people or children at home, finding a good doctor is sometimes more difficult than finding a good marriage.
But before they could gather around to talk to Mrs. Tong, Li Zian came over and took them away.
Li Zian walked to Shen Tianshu and whispered, "Both mother and Zihan are at my grandmother's side, let's go there together."
"Okay!" Shen Tianshu lowered his eyes and nodded.
Suddenly seeing Li Zian as an adult at such a close distance, she didn't know if she was shy or something, but suddenly she didn't dare to look directly into his eyes.
Just as Li Zian was about to say something else, he felt someone staring at him from behind.
He looked back and found that the person staring at him was Shen Zhonglei.
"Ahem -" Li Zian had to quietly distance himself a little from Shen Tianshu, and said in a slightly louder voice: "Fangfu, Princess Tong, please send her over."
"Yes!" Fangfu stepped forward quickly.
Li Zian lowered his voice and said to Shen Tianshu: "Your father is staring at me, I'll go over and say a few words to him first.
"You go to grandma's place first, I'll be there soon."
Shen Tianshu glanced quietly out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough, he saw Shen Zhonglei staring at him and Li Zian with an unkind expression. He couldn't help but secretly pursed his lips and smiled, and followed Fang Fu away.
Li Zi'an turned around and walked up to Shen Zhonglei. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for coming to attend my crowning ceremony today. Please forgive me for not greeting me well."
"Your Majesty, you are so polite." Seeing Lady Tong leaving with Fang Fu, Shen Zhonglei's expression improved slightly, "It is an honor for me to attend your crowning ceremony. It's great to see Prince Rui recover from health."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that my father would be able to wake up and be in time to attend my crowning ceremony."
"Your Majesty, the prince has been serving you at the bedside and taking care of the prince all these years. God must have opened his eyes and been moved by your filial piety, so he allowed the prince to wake up and attend your crowning ceremony."
Two people were talking here, and everyone around them pricked up their ears and started to listen.
The fact that Li Zian opened his mouth to defend Shen Zhonglei some time ago had already spread throughout Huguang.
After all, they had never seen Li Zian defend anyone like this behind the scenes, let alone because it was a private matter rather than a public one.
So at this moment, Li Zian took the initiative to talk to Shen Zhonglei, which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.
Shen Zhonglei didn't know why. He didn't have many connections in Wuchang Mansion, so he didn't even know what Li Zian had said to defend himself at this time.
Although he felt that there were fewer and fewer people gossiping outside recently, he didn't think about it elsewhere. He just thought that the matter had passed, so no one would discuss it anymore.
Li Zian said a few words to Shen Zhonglei, and then saw Mr. Shen San standing behind him.
"Who is this?"
"Master, this is my brother-in-law." Shen Zhonglei quickly introduced, "He is here to take my mother back to her hometown. He just arrived in Wuchang Mansion a few days ago and plans to go back after the New Year here."
"It turns out to be Mr. Shen San." Li Zian cupped his hand.
Mr. Shen San hurriedly bowed and said, "I have met the Crown Prince."
"You don't need to be polite, Mr. Shen San." Li Zian smiled and said with a hint of meaning, "Actually, I don't think Mr. Shen San needs to be in a hurry to go back. It's a rare visit. It's too late to wait until spring next year before setting off again. Otherwise, if we just What should I do if I have to come again when I get home?"
Mr. Shen San didn't understand what he meant and looked at his elder brother with some confusion.
Shen Zhonglei was certain in his heart.
He came to attend the crowning ceremony and had been very worried since he saw Prince Rui regaining consciousness.
Now that Prince Rui is awake, does Li Zian's promise to come to propose marriage in the spring still count?
From ancient times to the present, marriage has been dictated by parents and matchmakers.
If Prince Rui objects, can Li Zian still stick to Shu'er?
When I heard Li Zian's words at this time, it was obviously a hint that Mr. Shen San should not go back in a hurry, and it would not be too late to leave after staying for the two's engagement.
So with this, Shen Zhonglei finally felt relieved and put a smile on his face again.
After Li Zian comforted his future father-in-law, he turned around to greet the other guests.
Most of the people said auspicious words such as congratulations.
But there were also some who unconsciously, or who thought they had a good relationship with Li Zian, came up to inquire about Prince Rui's condition.
It would be fine if they were just asking out of concern, but some people came up and asked in detail what medicine Prince Rui had taken and what prescriptions he had used. Did Mrs. Tong cure this without resorting to false pretenses?
Li Zian was irritated by the question. On normal days, he would have asked his men to drive such people out.
But this is his own crowning ceremony after all, and it even concerns the face of the entire Prince Rui Palace.
Even his father insisted on attending the ceremony for him regardless of his health.
this point
What's the little thing that you can't tolerate?
However, although Li Zian did not have an attack, he still silently wrote down these people.
Let me let you go for now. If you fall into his hands again in the future, it will be hard to say.
A few people felt fuzzy at the look in Li Zian's eyes, wondering why the Crown Prince had just finished his crowning ceremony, and his aura was suddenly different from before.
Could it be that because of the change in his attire, he looked more terrifying?
But no matter what, the few people who kept their mouths shut were finally defeated by Li Zian's eyes, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions.
