Spring flowers and autumn moon, autumn cicadas and winter snow.
Time flies, time flies...
Several years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the princess and prince are already young.
After the queen went to the west, the emperor never married or took any concubines, so...he only had a son and a daughter!
But I don't know why...
The princess only loves red dresses, but the prince has to wear white...
In the imperial garden, the prince in white was full of Confucianism. He was sitting on the top of the rockery holding a book. Shaking his head, he caught a glimpse of the princess in a red dress entering the courtyard.
The prince immediately hid in the gap between the rockery and said to himself with firm eyes: "You can't see me...You can't see me..."
"Min'an, come out!" the princess shouted into the imperial garden.
The prince hid in the cracks of the rockery and curled his lips, "Don't get beaten when you go out? Only fools go out!"
The princess's red dress was fluttering, her eyes were searching around, but she shouted: "I have already seen you, if you don't come out, wait until I catch you, don't blame the imperial sister for being ruthless!"
The prince trembled violently, as if he thought of some extremely terrifying scene.
The prince, with a sad look on his face, slightly stuck his head out and said to the princess: "Sister, can you not spank me?"
Only then did the princess see the prince hiding on the rockery in his fluttering white clothes. The princess immediately said with a straight face: "No, come down quickly and I'll beat you gently."
After hearing this, the prince came down from the rockery dejectedly, walked slowly to the princess, and threw himself into the trap.
The princess suddenly raised her hand and saw the prince trembling violently, but she did not hit him cruelly.
Instead, he gently patted away the fallen leaves and dust on the prince's body, and said slowly: "You, you don't look like a prince at all..."
"My father arranged for the grand master to teach you how to practice, why don't you go?" the princess asked, looking at the prince.
The prince was dressed in pure white clothes. Originally, according to the custom of the palace, he was not allowed to wear such clothes, but the prince insisted on doing so, so the emperor let him go.
"Min An doesn't want to practice, Min An just wants to study." The prince said innocently, with a faint Confucian spirit shining in his eyes.
"My father only has you as his son. You will inherit the throne in the future. What should you do if you don't cultivate yourself?" Princess Pingle sighed and taught like a little adult.
"But..." Prince Min An raised his head, thought for a moment and said, "Didn't my father never practice cultivation? Wouldn't it be great if Min An was just like his father?"
Princess Pingle thought about it, but couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while.
Prince Min'an smiled and pulled up Princess Pingle's red dress, pointed to the rockery behind him and said: "Sister Huang, let's go to that rockery! The scenery on the rockery is very good, and the breeze is soothing and therapeutic... ....”
Unable to resist Prince Min'an's insistence, the two climbed up the rockery.
The two of them were sitting in the wind, leaning against each other, one in red and one in white...
"Senior sister, don't you want to practice swordsmanship? Why haven't you practiced?"
"Father said I was too young, so he asked me to practice again when I was older!"
"Oh, then the imperial sister won't have time to play with Min An when she practices swordsmanship..."
"No! You can also play with Min An while practicing sword practice!"
"Yeah, don't go back on your word..."
...
A white horse passes by, and generations of travelers pass by.
In the blink of an eye, ten years passed by...
This year, Prince Min'an was already a handsome young man. For some reason, his long hair looked extremely delicate, and his handsome face always revealed a sense of Confucianism.
And Princess Pingle has become a slim girl, with a fluttering red dress and a long sword in her hand, but she looks heroic.
Prince Min'an, dressed in white, stopped and looked at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Why are you still standing? My father has already taken his seat, and all the officials are waiting outside the palace! Today is your coming-of-age ceremony, so don't try any more tricks on me, okay?"
Princess Pingle, in fluttering red clothes, came over holding a long sword. When she saw Prince Min'an looking up to the sky in a daze, she couldn't help but urge him.
Prince Min'an lowered his head, looked at Princess Pingle who was coming, and asked: "Sister Huang, what do you mean by living a lifetime?"
Princess Pingle looked at the confusion in Prince Min'an's eyes and was slightly stunned. She immediately came back to her senses and said, "Don't think about these things. When your crowning ceremony is completed, I will think about it with you!"
Prince Min'an nodded, but the confusion in his eyes still lingered.
As the imperial sister entered the palace, the eunuchs on the side immediately shouted: "The ceremony begins!"
Min An stood there, and the silver-haired Grand Master walked out, washed his hands, and took his place on the west steps after washing.
Min An, dressed in white clothes, fluttering in the wind, walked slowly to the hall, faced south, and bowed to the guests watching the ceremony. Behind him, Xiang Xi was sitting on the table in front of the Grand Master.
The grand master slowly took a jade comb and gently combed Prince Min'an's long hair. Looking at the adult prince, he sighed slightly and put the jade comb aside.
All the officials entered the palace, washed their hands, and took their seats one after another.
A maid presented the ropa and hairpins and walked up to the prince. The Prime Minister walked up to the prince and chanted a congratulation loudly:
"On the auspicious day of the month, you will start to add Yuanfu. Abandon your young aspirations, follow you and become virtuous. The test of longevity is only Qi, and you will be blessed."
Then the Prime Minister knelt down, took the ropa and hairpins from the maid's hands, combed the prince's hair and added hairpins, then stood up and returned to his original position.
Min'an slowly stood up and returned to the east room, put on a plain jacket and skirt, and then walked out. Facing the superior, the emperor was sitting here and there, and next to him was a portrait of the queen.
The emperor turned his head and glanced at the portrait of the queen, then looked at Min An again, and said slowly: "Your mother is deceased, so it is convenient for you to paint this."
Min'an nodded and bowed deeply to the portraits of the emperor and queen... This time, he bowed to his parents.
Min An stood up and sat down facing east. The grand master walked to Min An and stood behind him.
The Prime Minister washed his hands again, and the maid came forward to offer him a hairpin. The Prime Minister took the hairpin and walked to Min An and recited loudly:
"On the day of the auspicious month, it is Shen'er's service. Respect for your majesty and Shushen's virtue. My eyebrows will live for thousands of years and you will be blessed forever."
After Min An's death, the Grand Master gave Min An his hairpin.
The Prime Minister knelt down, fixed hairpins for the people, and then stood up and reset himself.
Behind Min An, the Grand Master straightened the hairpin on Min An's head.
Min An stood up, faced the Grand Master and the Prime Minister, and bowed again... This time, he bowed to his teachers and seniors.
The Prime Minister immediately stepped forward and installed the futou for the people.
Min An stood up and bowed towards the national scarf fluttering outside the hall... This bow was for the country and the people.
The maid entered the palace and laid out a banquet. Min An took a glass of wine and sprinkled it slightly on the ground!
The emperor looked at his adult son below, slowly turned back to look at the portrait of the queen, and sighed slightly: "Our child has finally grown up."
"Now that my son has grown up, he has been granted the title of crown prince and given a title..."
"...Jing Yan!"
boom!
A thunder sounded in Min An's mind, and endless confusion appeared in his eyes...
Why is this word so familiar to me?
"The ceremony is completed!" the eunuch in the corner shouted.
After the party was over, Min An left the palace and walked with Princess Pingle in the imperial garden, but the look on his face became more and more confused.
Min An had already changed back into his favorite white clothes. Looking at the slim and heroic Pingle beside him, he asked slowly:
"Sister Huang, have you ever thought about who we are?"
"Aren't we just who we are?" Pingle was puzzled.
Min An turned back to look at the boundless sky and murmured softly:
"us......"
"Is it really just us?"
