Chapter 716 Ji Chenyu attends Fu Zhimei's coming-of-age ceremony
After the court session, Shen Jiarou lagged behind Ji Chenchen by one step. In the presence of everyone, they went to the imperial study together to review memorials.
Looking at the memorials she had reviewed, Shen Jiarou fell into deep thought.
Ji Chenyu looked up unintentionally and was stunned: "Fourth Princess, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Jiarou was stunned when she heard this: "It's just a small matter."
"I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter." Could a trivial matter cause him to be so distracted?
"It's Fourth Senior Brother's eldest daughter Meimei. She will be sixteen soon and will have her coming-of-age ceremony. I'm thinking of what to give her."
Ji Chenyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Fu Liyong's eldest daughter?"
"Correct."
"She is already sixteen years old. Time flies so fast. By this look, I feel old." Unfortunately, at an age when others are grandfathers, he is not even a father.
"Yes, in the blink of an eye, you're already a sixteen-year-old girl." She is twenty-eight years old now, which is incomparable to a sixteen-year-old girl.
Seeing her envious face, Ji Chenyu smiled gently and looked up.
"You are still young. Only my brother is really old. If I were your age now, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Luo Cheng felt a pang of sadness when he heard this. It had not been easy for his master over the past few decades.
Ji Chenyu's words made Shen Jiarou feel awkward, so she had to remain silent.
On the day of Fu Zhimei's coming-of-age ceremony, Shen Jiarou quickly finished reviewing the memorials and was about to ask for leave from Ji Chenyu, but found that he had also stood up.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"I'll go too. I haven't been out for a while. Let's just relax."
Hearing this, Shen Jiarou just smiled and nodded. The emperor personally attended Fu Zhimei's coming-of-age ceremony, which would be a good thing for her future marriage.
When the Luan carriage and the Regent Princess's carriage arrived at the gate of County Lord Xie's mansion, the outside was filled with descendants of the Fu family.
"See your Majesty, long live my Emperor."
"Greetings to the Regent Princess. Long live the Regent Princess, long live the Regent Princess."
The two got off the carriage with the help of their respective people. Shen Jiarou stood still and walked towards Ji Chenyu, only to see him raise his hand slightly.
"No gift."
Shen Jiarou personally stepped forward to help Master Fu up: "Teacher, go slower."
"Thank you, Princess Regent."
Shen Jiarou smiled faintly, pursed her lips and nodded, helped Mr. Fu to sit down, and then helped Mrs. Fu up.
Mr. Fu, Fourier and others hurriedly invited the two into the mansion. Most of the guests who came to the banquet were ladies and young ladies. They originally thought that they might not be able to see the Regent Princess, but they never thought that they could see the emperor today. It was a pleasant surprise.
"Your Majesty, Princess Regent, please take a seat inside."
Jiang Ruofan and others were stunned when they saw the brother and sister arrive at the same time: Why is the emperor here too?
Everyone knelt respectfully and bowed: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness."
Ji Chenyu sat down at the main table arranged by Master Fu: "Your Majesty, please take a seat!"
Madam Fu smiled and invited Shen Jiarou to sit down: "Master's wife, please take a seat."
"it is good."
The protagonist Fu Zhimei was filled with shock at this moment. She herself did not expect that the emperor would come to the scene in person.
Xie Lianxiang glanced at her eldest daughter and nodded, signaling her to relax. Fu Zhimei received her mother's look and quickly smiled and nodded.
Fu Zhimei's coming-of-age ceremony continued, and under the witness of two of the most honorable people in the Dalin Dynasty, Fu Zhimei's coming-of-age ceremony ended perfectly.
Jiang Ziyi accompanied Fu Zhimei back to the courtyard to change clothes.
Seeing Jiang Huajin dressed sweetly and lovely, Ji Chenyu turned around and spoke to her gently.
"Jin'er hasn't been to the palace recently. The Royal Grandmother and the others miss you so much. When will you find time to go to the palace and spend time with the elders?"
Shen Jiarou glanced at her daughter, and Jiang Huajin smiled happily.
"Uncle Emperor, Jin'er will go to see the Emperor's great-grandmother and grandmother in two days."
Ji Chenyu said gently and lovingly: "Okay, I believe they will be very happy, and Ziyi will go with them then."
Jiang Ziheng pouted: "Uncle Emperor, you forgot about us."
Ji Chenyu laughed heartily: "Hahaha, boy, I will never forget you no matter who I forget."
Jiang Ziheng laughed when he heard this: "That's pretty good."
Shen Jiarou turned around and slapped him on the back of the head without any hesitation.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat."
Jiang Ziheng frowned and complained to his mother with a look of grievance.
"Mother, you are partial to one and the other. My brothers and I are not beaten, but I am the only one who is beaten. It is not fair at all."
Fu Liyong laughed: "That's because you deserve a beating."
Jiang Ziheng turned his head away and snorted coldly, while Fu Zhiye chuckled and teased him.
"Our brother Heng has thick skin, so he will be fine after one or two hits."
Ji Chenyu laughed heartily, and everyone laughed along with him.
Two days later, Jiang Ziyi brought Jiang Huajin and others to the palace to visit the Grand Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother and others.
It's a sunny day today, and because there are ice cubes in the Fushou Palace, it's hot outside but cool inside.
"Ziwen has met the Imperial Great Grandmother."
"Ziyi has met the Imperial Great Grandmother."
"Zihao has met the Imperial Great Grandmother."
"Ziheng has met the Imperial Great Grandmother."
"Zixue has met the Imperial Great Grandmother."
"Jin'er has met the Imperial Great-Grandmother."
"Ziyong has met the Imperial Great Grandmother."
When the Empress Dowager saw the seven children standing in a row and paying their respects, her face was full of doting and love.
"No need to be polite, children, please take a seat!"
Jiang Huajin took the initiative to walk towards the Empress Dowager, her round little face filled with a sweet and lovely smile.
"Imperial Great-grandmother, Jin'er misses you so much. Do you miss Jin'er too?"
The Empress Dowager reached out and gently stroked her head: "How could my great-grandmother not miss you? Not only do you, but your brothers and sisters also miss you. You see, you come back as soon as I miss you. Don't we, the great-grandparents and grandchildren, have a tacit understanding?"
Jiang Huajin nodded in agreement: "What my great-grandmother said is interesting."
The children accompanied the Empress Dowager for lunch. They all ate well and did not need anyone to look after them. The Empress Dowager was very pleased to see this.
The Empress Dowager looked at her lovely great-grandchildren and felt a little regretful. She didn't know whether she could see the birth of the emperor's children in her lifetime. If she could have one or two princes, she would have the face to meet her ancestors.
Seeing that she was distracted, Jiang Ziyi reached out and picked up a piece of delicious yam and put it in her bowl.
"My great-grandmother, please have some. This yam is delicious."
The Empress Dowager suddenly came to her senses. She looked at the piece of yam in the bowl and smiled lovingly.
"Our Ziyi has grown up and become more sensible. I hope your great-grandmother can still hold on until you reach the age of 15."
Jiang Huajin frowned: "Imperial great-grandmother, you will also be required to attend Jin'er's coming-of-age ceremony in the future."
The Empress Dowager did not agree, mainly because she was afraid that she would not live to see that age, and then she would have broken her promise to the little girl.
After lunch, Jiang Ziwen and others went to Anhe Palace to talk with the empress dowager, take a walk, appreciate the lotus flowers, and bask in the sun... The empress dowager was visibly happy to have someone to accompany her.
Jiang Ziyi helped the elderly empress dowager to the pavilion in the courtyard to sit down and admire the lotus flowers. Jiang Ziwen personally served her tea and water.
