"No need for too much formality, please rise!" The Princess who stabilizes the nation, as the one present with the highest rank, naturally has the right to speak.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yun Jinnian stood up, accepting everyone’s kind blessings.
Of course, there were also malicious ones.
"People from the palace have arrived!"
Yun Qi, originally chatting with Feng Wushuang and others in the garden, was also invited over.
Yun Jinnian bowed and received the decree, "This subject’s daughter receives the decree!"
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees, Princess Yijia, excellent in appearance and intelligence, gentle and elegant, on today’s coming-of-age ceremony, is specially granted a pair of Jade Ruyi, thirty-three Gold Hairpins Stepping Shakes, sixty-six bolts of Yunyan Soft Brocade..."
Following that, a string of items was read.
Yun Jinnian gave thanks for the grace, and Hemei immediately handed a pouch to Eunuch Hai, who happily accepted it, "Well, Princess, this servant will return to the palace to report!"
"Please, Eunuch Hai!"
Eunuch Hai nodded and looked towards the Princess who stabilizes the nation, "Your Highness, this servant takes his leave!"
Once Eunuch Hai left, Eunuch De arrived with the Empress’s decree for rewards, even bringing things left by the Empress Dowager for Yun Jinnian, dozens of large chests, not yet opened, seemingly bursting with wealth.
The Empress Dowager’s years of collection, all given to Yun Jinnian.
Many people initially thought it was just a legend, but it turned out to be true.
Yun Jinnian looked at those dozens of large chests, feeling somewhat oppressed.
Marchioness Zhuangyong was also puzzled, why did the Empress send the chests today? Couldn’t she wait a few days? Or maybe send them a bit earlier?
Today is Yun Jinnian’s coming-of-age ceremony, what does the Empress mean?
Yun Jinnian still expressed gratitude, letting Hemei give a pouch to Eunuch De, who then left to return to the palace.
Even Eunuch De was unsure about the Empress’s intentions, let alone Yun Jinnian.
Mrs. Han stepped forward to hold Yun Jinnian’s hand, "Jinnian, the auspicious time is approaching!"
Giving silent consolation.
Yun Jinnian smiled at Mrs. Han, "Mother!"
Yet felt a little anxious inside.
There were still guests yet to arrive, such as Tianci, her grandfather.
They all haven’t arrived yet.
A carriage stopped at the Yun Residence entrance, Han Tianci, dressed in fine clothing, jumped off the carriage, happily saying to someone inside, "Grandfather, we’ve arrived!"
Han Xuzi followed off the carriage, tapping Han Tianci’s forehead, "Today is your sister’s coming-of-age ceremony, be steadier!"
"Got it, got it!" Han Tianci finished speaking, grabbed a gift from Han Zhong, and ran towards the hall.
No matter his height, he was still a ten-year-old child.
At a lively and bright age, not to mention he hadn’t seen Yun Jinnian for quite a while.
"Sister!" Han Tianci called softly.
Yun Jinnian and Mrs. Han looked at Han Tianci and immediately smiled brightly.
"Greetings to Aunt!" Han Tianci paid respects to Mrs. Han.
Mrs. Han’s eyes immediately reddened.
He was her biological son, yet could only call her Aunt.
But for Tianci, for Jinnian, she could only force a smile, "Good, good!"
Han Tianci handed the gift box to Yun Jinnian, "Sister, this is my gift for your coming-of-age ceremony!"
"Thank you, Tianci!" Yun Jinnian accepted the gift, handed it to Hemei, then reached to grab Han Tianci’s sleeve, "Tianci, come greet the Princess and all the ladies and sisters!"
Han Tianci, looking very handsome and smiling, greeted each one and then walked up to Feng Wushuang, "Brother Feng, how have you been lately?"
"Good, how about you?"
"I am good too, just too much to study and can’t come out to play, otherwise I would have gone to find Brother Feng earlier!" Han Tianci complained, smiling with white teeth, yet his demeanor was gentle and courteous.
"No worries, when you have some free time, I’ll come pick you up!" Feng Wushuang responded softly.
