------------------

Then I remembered that Aunt Luo followed me all the way, first to Yangzhou, and then I went to Gusu to keep my filial piety with my mother.Then he accompanied her to the capital, how many places did she walk back and forth, how could Daiyu dare not move in her heart?When she looked up, Daiyu saw not only herself, but Aunt Luo also had tears in her eyes, but she was trying her best to endure it.

In this way, under the condition of extremely agitated mood, Daiyu sat facing east for the third time; Aunt Luo washed her hands three times and reset; Princess Hanyi presented the mutton fat white jade lotus hairpin crown specially customized by Princess Wujun.Aunt Luo still took it and went to Daiyu. Gao Song congratulated and said: "With the righteousness of the year and the order of the moon, I will serve in Xianjiaer. The yellow scorpion has no boundaries, and it is celebrated by the sky."

After Wanyu removed Daiyu's hairpin, Aunt Luo knelt down and put the hairpin on Daiyu's crown, then got up and put it back on.Wanyu then symbolically helps Daiyu to crown her crown.Looking at Daiyu who has transformed little by little, Wanyu seems to have returned to the time when she first met Daiyu, and she was filled with emotions for a while.

The aristocrat's wife, relatives and family members bowed to Daiyu three times. After Daiyu returned the salute, she retreated with Wanyu, and changed into a long-sleeved dress with long sleeves that matched the crown of suet and white jade lotus flowers on her head.

Daiyu once again came out to show the guests in a red dress with large sleeves embroidered with gold lotus and silver leaves, and a mutton fat white jade jeweled lotus hairpin crown.When facing the palace, the guests couldn't help whispering among the guests that Daiyu's ceremony was not an ordinary ceremony, but the highest standard three-plus ceremony according to the rules of the royal princess. Everyone couldn't help being shocked.

What everyone didn't know was that it wasn't just them who were puzzled and shocked, even the queen in the palace was also surprised and had many guesses.

But the emperor seemed to know what the queen was thinking, and said with a lonely smile: "If Ruhai's death was not my fault, then I have to say that there is indeed a reason for me. Before Ruhai left, he did his best, even at the expense of infamy. , to relieve my worries, but only ask me for one thing. Does the queen know what it is?"

The queen heard the emperor mention it, so she nodded and said: "The sage said that Lin Qing's family asked the sage to take care of Yu'er."

The emperor nodded and said: "If Yu'er is taken in and raised by other people, I can show favor to this family, even Ji Yun, I can also bestow a title. However, it is Princess Wujun who raised Yu'er. " Speaking of this, the emperor looked at the queen and smiled: "I can only grace Yu'er herself. Does the queen understand?"

The queen was startled, knowing that the emperor was telling herself that the Mo family's kindness should not be too much, and she nodded despite her bitterness.But the emperor sighed and said: "What's more, Yu'er is very suitable for me. If it is not limited by her status, I would consider her a girl." After the emperor finished speaking, there was a sense of melancholy in his eyes.

Seeing this, the queen felt relieved, and secretly laughed at herself: Is it true that the older you are, the more thoughtful you are?Yu'er can be regarded as growing up by herself, and she and Han Yi are also very good friends.Thinking of this, the queen shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

Seeing this, the emperor was very puzzled and asked: "Why? The empress thinks Yu'er is unworthy or worthless?" When the empress looked at the emperor again, her eyes became clearer.He smiled and said: "The concubine is just laughing at herself." The queen didn't finish speaking, the emperor raised his eyebrows and smiled at the queen, but he didn't point it out.How could the emperor in charge of the world not know about rumors and gossip?

No matter what riddles the emperor and empress are playing, Daiyu's ceremony is still going on. After a series of cumbersome etiquettes, if she didn't want to lose the face of the princess of Wujun and the reputation of the Lin family at this moment, Daiyu really wanted to get rid of her. Sleeves leave.

After Daiyu's three worships, Princess Hanyi personally removed the decorations for the Ji ceremony, and set up a banquet for wine and wine on the west steps.Aunt Luo bowed and invited Daiyu to the table.Daiyu then stood on the west side of the mat, facing south.

Aunt Luo turned to the west, Wanyu offered the red-gold three-legged baron's rice wine, Daiyu turned to the north, Aunt Luo took the wine, went to Daiyu's table, and said to Daiyu: "Sweetness is only thick. , Jia recommended Lingfang. Worship and accept sacrifices to determine Erxiang. The rest of the heavens will not be forgotten in the test of life."

Daiyu saluted and took the wine, and Aunt Luo returned the salute.Then Daiyu could enter the table, knelt down and sprinkled some wine on the ground as sacrificial wine.Then hold the wine to symbolically touch your lips, and then put the wine on the table.But it was not finished at this time, Princess Hanyi offered the red gold bowls and chopsticks filled with rice, Daiyu restrained her temper to take it, and ate a little symbolically.

Daiyu bowed again, and Aunt Luo replied.Daiyu got up and left the seat and stood on the east side of the west steps, facing south.Aunt Luo stood up and faced east.Princess Wujun also got up and came down facing west to choose a character for Daiyu. Huang Jiyun had already decided on Daiyu's scientific name when she was five years old, so there was no need to choose another name.

I just listened to Aunt Luo read the congratulatory speech and said: "The etiquette is ready, and the auspicious day of the month will be announced to you. The word Kongjia is suitable for fashion scholars. It is suitable for fakes and will be protected forever. It is called Lin Huifu." Daiyu's endorsement seems to be De replied: "Although Daiyu is not sensitive, I dare not come late at night." Then Daiyu bowed to Aunt Luo again, and after Aunt Luo returned the salute, both of them returned to their positions.

Daiyu stood up and kowtowed three times in front of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's memorial tablet again, then got up and knelt in front of Princess Wujun. After a few words of encouragement from Princess Wujun, Daiyu replied: "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not accept it!" Pay homage to Princess Wujun again.

After getting up, Daiyu stood in the center of the venue, and bowed to Aunt Luo, the guests, the musicians, Princess Hanyi, Princess Wanyu, Lin Ruhai and his wife, and finally Princess Wujun.

After everyone nodded their heads slightly, Princess Wujun led Daiyu again and announced to the attendees: "Little girl Lin Huiyan's ceremony has been completed, thank you for your kind participation!" She then bowed to the guests to express her gratitude, Everyone hastily returned their salutes, and it was only in this way that Daiyu made a salute.

Just when everyone was about to leave the arena and enter the garden, a servant came to report: "The empress gifted you a pair of red gold and white jade Ruyi, a red gold and white jade bowl, a red gold and white jade butterfly, a pair of red gold and white jade chopsticks, and a pair of red gold and white jade Zhan Fengchai!" The crowd was in an uproar again!
But Mrs. Jia stood in the crowd, not looking at Madam Wang's expression that was almost dripping with ink.Hearing the rumors that Daiyu was forbidden by the emperor, Mrs. Jia was not only not annoyed, but when she saw that the rumors were rampant and tended to intensify.Show a proud appearance.

Among the guests, although the noble ladies and wives were envious of Daiyu, they were even more busy trying to curry favor at this time, and even the female family members of the clan all showed kindness.

Seeing this, Princess Wujun nodded to Aunt Zhen who was next to her, then turned around and took a step forward.Aunt Zhen was signaled by the princess of Wu County, and smiled at everyone: "Today, I would like to thank you all for coming to the ceremony of our county master Yu County. The princess has set up a thin banquet in the garden. Please move forward, so that the county master can change. Clothes go."

Everyone knew that Nanny Zhen was the powerful side of Concubine Wujun. Although Concubine Wujun was the concubine of the county, she couldn't resist that the empress was the sister of her own mother.When everyone heard what Aunt Zhen said, they also smiled and went into the garden.

Mrs. Jia hesitated again and again, but brought Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Sanchun and Xiangyun to stay. On such an occasion today, she never sent a letter to Xue's family. Although Xue Baochai never came, she also sent a very heavy gift.

Seeing this, Aunt Luo looked at Daiyu, and Daiyu smiled and said, "My aunt has been tired for half a day, let's go eat some food first, and Yu'er will come to find aunt when she turns around." Aunt Luo smiled and nodded before taking the Zhu Xian'er and Zhilan also went to Huayuanzi.

However, Han Yi and Wan Yu stayed behind as officials and praisers to help Daiyu pack up the ritual vessels and other things.Mrs. Wang glanced at Daiyu with an extremely cloudy face, then turned her eyes away, but Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Look at how you look today, it really is a beauty!" Yingchun echoed herself: "Who says it is not?" Woolen cloth?"

Tanchun looked enviously at Daiyu's silence, with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't expect that his cousin, whom he didn't pay attention to at the beginning, would have such a fortune today.Tanchun believed those rumors.But Xichun couldn't control this, pulled Daiyu's clothes and said with a smile, "Sister Lin's clothes are really beautiful."

Daiyu said with a smile: "This is a gift from the empress, and I can't wear it on weekdays. Doesn't it matter if you are pretty or not?"

As soon as Daiyu finished speaking, Hanyi smiled and said, "Why don't you say that this is the product of our "Rongyun and Nishang Pavilion"?" Hanyi reached out and tapped Daiyu's forehead and said, "It's really true. Knowing how to do business, I don’t even know how to do publicity at this time.” As soon as Hanyi finished speaking, Zhixuan and Hanxiao who were behind Daiyu also laughed.

Tanchun and Xichun were stunned for a moment, even Wang Xifeng took a while to react, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "You really are a slippery girl."

Daiyu didn't want to get entangled in this, so she smiled and said: "Sister-in-law also took everyone to the garden to enjoy the flowers and have dinner. There will be a show later. I'll go and change my clothes first." Whispering and complaining to Xichun: "Don't just look good, these clothes are really uncomfortable to wear!"

When Han Yi heard this, he was dissatisfied and said, "I don't say how many pearls and precious stones are used in this dress, but how much gold thread and silver thread are used?" After speaking, he gave Daiyu a hard look and said, "It's true. It's a heartless girl!"

Daiyu quickly took Hanyi's hand, and said with an apologetic smile: "Of course Yu'er knows the value of this dress." After she finished speaking, she lowered her voice again, pretending to be mysterious and said: "But you will be tired if you don't move, let alone wear it." It's two steps away." Seeing this, Xichun covered her mouth and smiled, Tanchun looked at Daiyu's clothes with envy even more, and could barely hide the heat in her eyes.

Seeing Daiyu like this, everyone except Mrs. Wang laughed.The old lady Jia even smiled and said: "The clothes must be heavy, Yu'er, go and change them quickly, don't crush yourself. Put them away carefully, you will only have one like this in your life."

Wanyu saw that most of the ritual utensils were put away, so she accompanied Daiyu to the dressing room to change into the long-sleeved long dress and took off the mutton fat white jade lotus hairpin crown on her head.Even Mother Tang ordered someone to bring hot water for Daiyu to wash.
