The second son of the prince's family

According to ancient rituals, the crowning ceremony of the children of the royal family was held at the Taimiao. However, since Emperor Wu'an came to the throne 15 years ago, some cumbersome etiquettes have been changed or deleted, and they have been simplified as much as possible.

After that, princes and other high-ranking royal family and nobles will choose the place by themselves and simplify the etiquette to hold the crown ceremony.

Prince Qi's mansion built a platform on the east side of the mansion, as a place for the two princes in the mansion to hold the crown ceremony.

Pei Qian followed Pei Ye all the way to the Fudong stage and sat in front of the case.

After the guests said their congratulations, they were seated.

The stage was presided over by Zongming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, while Pei Qing stood aside.After Zong Ming said his auspicious words, Pei Qian followed Pei Ye to the stage and bowed to Pei Qing.

Pei Qian raised his head slightly, and saw Pei Qing's eyes were slightly red, looking at the two of them.He felt less nervous in an instant, and felt a little more sour. He grew up, but his father had gray hair.

After the salute, the ceremony of adding three crowns will be carried out.

But at this moment, there was a high-pitched voice, "The emperor is here~"

Pei Qian looked up and saw a tall man in a black wide-sleeved dragon robe approaching.

Seeing that the emperor was looking this way, Pei Qian immediately lowered his head.

I heard a majestic and slightly gentle voice beside my ear: "You don't need to be polite, I just came to participate in the crowning ceremony of Prince Qi. Where is the progress now? Let's continue."

Pei Qian first asked someone to prepare a seat for Pei Mo, and then everyone sat down and started to continue.

Zong Ming sang: "When the wine is clear, when Jia recommends you, you start to add yuan clothes. When brothers come, filial piety and friendship will last forever."

"The wine drinker recommends Yifu, but also applies for his clothes. The etiquette is orderly. Sacrifice this Jiajue to inherit the blessing of heaven."

After the two additions, it is the hair bundle and the crown.

Both Pei Qian's hair was neatly combed, and only the crown was left.This ceremony is usually carried out by the father or a prestigious elder in the clan.But now that the emperor is sitting here, who in the world can honor the emperor more, so it is best for the emperor to do it.

Zong Ming glanced at the emperor, Pei Mo stood up, walked to the stage, and said, "I just happened to bring gifts for the two young masters alone, bring them here."

The attendant on the side raised the tray with the crown and hairpin over his head with both hands, and walked to Pei Mo's side with his body half arched.

Pei Mo said to Qi Wang Pei Qing: "Qi Wang doesn't mind acting alone, does he?"

Pei Qing lowered his head and said, "My son's honor."

Pei Mo stood in front of Pei Ye, took a white jade crown and tied Pei Ye's hair up, fixed it with a hairpin, and the ceremony was complete.

As the emperor, Pei Mo has never done these things by hand, but he is meticulous in what he does now, and he has practiced it many times in private.

Pei Ye bowed and thanked him, Pei Mo asked him to get up, then patted him on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction: "From now on, you are an adult, you can do what you want independently, as a child of my royal family, you must be more determined than others , Dare to be brave. Your name is Yuan Hui, I hope you will act calmly in the future, but don't flinch, okay?"

Pei Ye's heart was moved, and he saluted again, saying: "Follow the instruction carefully, and never forget it."

Pei Qian knelt aside, only feeling numbness in his legs, but he kept the same posture without moving.

Every moment of Pei Qianjue's present is so long, and he gradually feels embarrassed in his heart that he is just a superfluous here.

Pei Ye, the eldest son of Prince Qi's Mansion, is a figure like the moonlight, no matter where he is, he will always be the center of everyone's attention.

Pei Qian looked at Pei Ye from the corner of his eye. He was also the son of Prince Qi's mansion, but he never came to the stage, was ignored by others, and was even disgusted by others.

When I was a child, I envied Pei Ye, the uncle of the emperor was so kind to him, so I thought of ways to make the uncle of the emperor treat me well, so I foolishly walked up to the emperor and said that I also want something like my brother.

In the end, it was said that only the older brother could have it.

Later, he was surrounded by some children and beat him, saying that he was beyond his control.

Yes, all the good, warm and sunny things, only the elder brother can have.

It was obviously the crowning ceremony of the two sons of Prince Qi's Mansion, but now, everyone's eyes are on Pei Ye, and no one cares that he is still waiting.

Pei Qian felt cold in his heart, lowered his head and shrunk himself into a ball, clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, and just wanted this moment to pass quickly.

He tried to think of other things to divert his attention, thinking about the book he read yesterday, what the Shrike and the others were doing in the small courtyard, by the way, and that Wang Yongfu, I didn't see him today, he was hired to protect himself, But he didn't know where he went to be lazy, and he must be punished.

Thinking about it, my heart felt uncomfortable.I just feel that such an important moment in life has nothing to do with me that is worth remembering.

Pei Qian suppressed the sourness in his heart.Feel someone walking in front of you.

From what he saw, the clothes were Pei Qing.

Pei Qian sat up, asked Pei Qing to tie up his hair, put on the jade crown, put on the hairpin, and then got up and bowed to salute.

Pei Qian looked at him with complicated eyes, and finally said: "You have been weak since you were young, and I only hope that you will be healthy, safe and happy in the future. The word is Ning Yuan."

Pei Qian finally couldn't help it, tears welled up in his eyes, he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Thank you, father."

Then kneel down and salute.

"The wine makes the fragrance, the bean has the Chu, the salt is added to the clothes, the hope rises and the zu, the celebration of the heaven, the longevity and blessings are boundless."

After the three additions, it's time to entertain the guests.

Pei Qian followed Pei Ye, toasted all the adults who came to the ceremony, and listened to their compliments and suggestions...

Because Pei Qian was in poor health, Pei Ye kept blocking him and tried to make him drink less alcohol.However, along the way, Pei Qian's eyes were hazy and his face became paler.

Pei Ye found a corner and asked his servants to bring hangover soup to Pei Qian.

Pei Qian leaned softly on the pillar, frowned, and looked at Pei Ye with discomfort.

Pei Ye touched his forehead, his eyes were filled with distress, and he said, "Why don't you go back and rest first, as long as I'm here."

Pei Qian drank the warm hangover soup, closed his eyes, leaned against the pillar with his head up, and did not speak.

Pei Ye begged in a low voice: "Ning Yuan..."

Pei Qian opened his eyes, pushed him away hard, turned his face to Pei Ye, and said in a low voice: "Go and take care of the guests, I'll be back in a while."

He didn't want Pei Ye to see the tears in his eyes.

Perhaps the dark night and wine make people vulnerable, and Pei Qian couldn't help but feel sad.

Wondering what is life for?

He has grown up so much, and in just 15 years, looking back now, there is nothing worth remembering and cherishing. The future is also gloomy, and there is nothing to look forward to.

Pei Ye stood aside, looking at Pei Qian's blurred face in the dark, and finally swallowed what he wanted to say, just said: "Go back and have a good rest, and be careful not to get sick."

After Pei Ye left, Pei Qian sat alone for a while, feeling that the boredom in his heart had dissipated, and went to the wine table to steal a jug of wine, and hid in the garden to drink.

The guests were all in the east courtyard, and the garden was quiet. Pei Qian was sitting under the magnolia tree next to the garden, when he suddenly heard someone talking.
