Descendants of Pangu in the Great Desolation

Chapter 168
"Ah Hai, the auspicious time is approaching, follow me to the main hall." After staying in Wuhuaxuan for about an hour, Situ Jing came to take me away, and went straight into the Hall of Happiness.Then he told me to wait in the back hall, and then left to get busy in the front hall.After a stick of incense, the front hall gradually became noisy. I reckoned that the guests had already arrived one after another, and the emperor's uncle would arrive soon.As soon as I thought of this, I heard a shout of "the emperor is coming" from the front hall, followed by a salute of "long live my emperor, long live".At this time, Situ Jing walked in and asked me to tidy up my clothes, the auspicious time will arrive soon.Hearing what he said, I felt a little flustered and didn't know what to do.Seeing this, Situ Jing hurriedly advised me to relax, and helped me smooth out the wrinkles on my clothes.

"The auspicious time has come, please come to the hall." As soon as I finished finishing, I heard the announcement from the front hall.Situ Jing held my hand and led me all the way to the front hall, and then I walked down the steps step by step to the hall, and knelt down to the emperor sitting in the hall and said: "I bow to your majesty, long live my emperor." I waved my hands and said, "Stay flat." I responded casually, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness." But I didn't get up, but still knelt there.At this time, the emperor stood up, got off the dragon chair and came to me. He picked up a blue hair tie from the tray in the hand of Mr. Xia who was serving him, and said to me: "Hai'er, today is your hair tie ceremony." , Uncle Emperor will tie the belt for you with your own hands." I said softly, "Thank you, Uncle Emperor" and then I lowered my head and waited for my hair to be tied.The emperor hugged my loose hair and tied it up with the azure blue headband.After the hair was tied, the emperor went back to the dragon chair and sat down. Eunuch Xia lifted me up and said, "Courtesy!" With congratulations, I walked down the hall slowly and followed Situ Jing to the table where my parents were sitting.Along the way, the ministers sitting on both sides stood up and saluted me one after another, saying congratulatory words, and I returned the salute to them one by one.Along the way, my waist was almost broken, but considering the gifts they sent, I didn't care about that much.As soon as I walked to my parents, several uncles and aunts at the same table also congratulated me. Although there was a hint of jealousy in their tone, they were my elders after all, and they gave them a full salute with a smile.But to be honest, the gift they gave was really good. Take the mutton fat white jade horse that my uncle gave as an example. , is simply perfect, it can be called a good product.After I inquired about it, I found out that this mutton-fat white jade horse was actually purchased by my uncle in Pinyu Pavilion. It seems that this Pinyu Pavilion is already well-known in the capital.

"Quiet..." I heard Eunuch Xia announce loudly as soon as I sat down.The emperor stood up and said loudly: "Today is the 15th birthday of Situ Hai, the youngest son of the Sixth Emperor, and I specially chose to hold a hair-tying ceremony for him in the Hall of Happiness. It may be a bit abrupt, but I just want to take this opportunity to announce something Things. Eunuch Xia..." Eunuch Xia stepped forward and responded, "The servant is here." The emperor took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Eunuch Xia.Eunuch Xia took it with both hands, opened it and preached: "Follow the heavens, the emperor ordered it. The son is the elder, as it has been in ancient times. The eldest prince has a good character, and he is deeply respected. He will be able to inherit the great order. I intend to make you the crown prince. Hope You can restrain yourself and serve the public, govern the country rigorously, and live up to the world. Thank you!" As soon as the imperial decree came out, everyone present was terrified, and the entire celebration hall fell silent. "Eldest Prince, please come up to receive the order." Eunuch Xia's voice broke the silence, and everyone came to their senses and congratulated and congratulated Situ Ji one after another.Situ Ji stood up from his seat, followed the steps to the hall, bent down and knelt down and said: "My son, thank you for your kindness" and then stretched his hands forward.Eunuch Xia folded up the imperial decree and handed it to Situ Ji.After Situ Ji received the imperial decree and stood up, all the officials, eunuchs, and maids in the hall knelt down and congratulated in unison: "See Your Highness, the prince is a thousand years old." Situ Ji waved his hand happily and said: " All the gentlemen are in peace."

"Prince Rui is here!" Suddenly there was a loud shout from outside the hall, and everyone turned their heads to follow the voice, only to see Situ Rui walking in from outside the hall in a military uniform, and Yu Xin with a big belly also walked in together.Situ Rui carefully supported Yu Xin to the hall, knelt down on one knee and said: "My son, I will live up to my father's order, and I will wipe out all the barbarians in the future." Standing up and supporting Yu Xin, she looked at Situ Ji with a serious face.As soon as I saw the two of them, I was in a state of panic. I thought it was safe, but I didn't expect him to have wiped out the future criminals and rushed back with Yu Xin who was pregnant. This is not a good time It's over.Seeing Situ Rui's unhappy face, the emperor hurriedly said: "Rui'er returned to Beijing on an expedition, let's go to rest first, we will talk about anything later." Situ Rui didn't say anything, and helped Yu Xin to leave the celebration. Happy Palace.The Qingxi Hall, which was originally full of atmosphere, seemed particularly depressed due to the sudden appearance of the two of them. The banquet only lasted for two hours and then broke up.After the banquet was over, the emperor and father went to the Imperial Study Room, and I accompanied my mother to the Hall of Ruisi, while Situ Jing stayed behind to deal with the aftermath.

I accompanied my mother to the Hall of Ruisi, saw the door was closed, I stepped forward and patted it a few times, and called out softly, "Second cousin, I am Haier, and I will accompany my mother to visit Cousin Yu." After a while, Yu Xin opened the door with her stomach full, and said, "Auntie, please come in." Mother nodded and stepped into the room.When Situ Rui saw us coming in, he stood up from his chair and saluted his mother, "Aunt." The mother waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. Your aunt came to bother you just after you came back, so you won't blame your aunt, right?" Yu Xin hurriedly said: "What is your aunt talking about? Please sit down, I will order someone to make tea." Mother waved her hand and said: "Xin'er, you are pregnant, so don't overwork yourself. Besides, my aunt is not thirsty, so sit down Talk to your aunt." Yu Xin answered casually, and sat beside her mother.Seeing this, Situ Rui said to his mother: "My aunt is here to talk more with my wife. My nephew wants to go out, so I won't accompany my aunt." Mother nodded and said, "Okay, you can go." Situ Rui nodded Nodding, turned around and walked out of the room.

After he left, I asked, "Cousin Xin, what about Cousin Rui?" Yu Xin sighed and said, "Isn't he unhappy because the eldest prince was crowned prince?" Talk too much.Mother looked at Yu Xin's belly and asked, "Xin'er, how many months has it been?" Yu Xin touched her belly and said softly, "It's been more than eight months." Mother smiled and said, "I didn't expect us to be married for nearly a year." No see, you are going to be a mother soon, and the journey back to Beijing has been hard." Yu Xin waved her hand and said, "My husband has rushed a little in order to return to Beijing to report the news as soon as possible. But it's okay for me, and it can't be called hard work. "Mother stretched out her hand to stroke Yu Xin's belly, and told her: "During this time, you have to be more careful, and try not to move as much as you can. It's not a joke to hurt your fetus." Yu Xin nodded and said: "Understood aunt, I will be more careful." Seeing that the two of them were chatting speculatively, I couldn't get in the way, and I was thinking about other things, so I planned to leave first, "Mother, are you here?" Let's chat with Cousin Xin for a while, I want to go to Fuze Palace to find Xiaojie." My mother replied casually: "Okay, you go. After I finish talking with your cousin Xin, I will go to you." I She nodded and said, "Okay. Cousin Xin, I'm leaving first, and I will go to the house with Brother Jing to see you in a few days." Yu Xin replied: "Okay, you can go. By the way, Haier , Congratulations, you are an adult from today on." I rubbed my hair and laughed, "Thank you, Cousin Xin, I'll go first." Then I left the two of them and ran outside.

After leaving Ruisi Hall, I didn't go to Fuze Palace to find Situ Jie, but walked all the way to the Imperial Study Room.In the Hall of Ruisi just now, Situ Rui looked fine, but I could see that his heart was full of anger. Although he hid it so deeply that even Yu Xin and his mother didn't notice it at all, I still saw it from his eyes. I saw a clue.Unavoidably, he was so angry that he went to argue with the emperor's uncle, so I had to lie and claim to go to Situ Jie and leave Ruisi Hall first.As soon as I came to the Imperial Study Room, I heard fierce arguments coming from inside.I took a few steps forward and hid under the window, pricking up my ears to listen inside.As I expected, Situ Rui was arguing with the emperor inside because of the establishment of the crown prince.
