Is the program okay?

It was early morning when Wenxi and Jiangliu, who had not stopped all the way, arrived at the palace in a hurry. The female officer next to Wenxi was not surprised to see Wenxi. After paying the salute, she said: "Your Majesty, please see the princess in the imperial study."

Wen Xi was taken aback, she and Jiang Liu returned secretly, and no one had notified Emperor Jing that she had returned after praying, so she suddenly felt a little uneasy, "At this time? Father should rest."

The female official said: "Your Majesty only ordered the princess to move to the imperial study after she comes back."

Wenxi had no choice but to obey.After simply washing up and changing clothes, Wenxi took a look at Jiangliu and took the female officer to the imperial study.

Jiang Liu stood at the door of the bedroom without saying a word, watching the princess leave.

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

The imperial study room was brightly lit, Emperor Jing rested his forehead with one hand, and looked at the documents on the imperial case with his brows furrowed.

After being summoned, Wenxi walked slowly in front of Emperor Jing, and bowed respectfully, "Father, Wan'an. The deeper exposure, please take care of yourself."

Emperor Jing continued to read the document slowly, closed it and put it aside, then said: "Get up, give me a seat."

After the female officer moved the brocade stool, Emperor Jing waved his hand, and all the servants in the palace retreated, leaving only Emperor Jing and Wenxi in the imperial study.

Wenxi Xie En got up, and as soon as he sat down, Jingdi asked casually: "Is the procedure okay?"

Wenxi was startled, her heart skipped a beat.

Emperor Jing glanced at her, "You are my princess and the first heir to the empire. Countless people are staring at your every move. I told you this when you were young. Now it seems that you have Just forget about it."

Wen Xi immediately knelt down, "I dare not, my father's teachings are always in my heart."

Emperor Jing leaned on the soft pillow, fiddled with a string of rosary beads in his hand, looked at the figure kneeling on the ground, and said slowly: "Xi'er, after this year's birthday, you will be 24 years old. When I was your age, you They're all three years old."

Wenxi pressed his forehead to the ground, not daring to take a breath.

There was silence in the imperial study room, big drops of sweat fell from Wenxi's forehead, and the small piece of ground in front of him became dizzy.

After a while, Emperor Jing put the rosary on the table and said, "For this year's birthday gift, I will give you a husband-in-law."

Wenxi's body shook for a while, and before he could speak, he heard Emperor Jing continue to say: "It's good to stop thinking you shouldn't have."

For a moment, Wenxi felt that his clothes were soaked through.

Not knowing whether his eyes were blurred by sweat or tears, Wenxi tried to open his eyes wide, and said in a calm voice: "Thank you for your kindness, but I think..."

Emperor Jing was impatient to hear her clichés, so he interrupted her directly, "Xi'er, I'm not discussing with you."

It was the first time I knelt for such a long time, and Wenxi's knees went from excessive pain to no feeling.It was the first time to kneel down for such a long time, with her forehead pressed to the ground, Wenxi felt her head was congested with blood.The first time his speech was interrupted, Wenxi suddenly realized that not having the opportunity to speak is actually a very scary thing.It was the first time that her father was impatient to listen to her, and Wenxi felt that her position as the first heir might not be as secure as many people told her.

Even so, she still tried her best to maintain the standard posture of kneeling, and said in a hoarse voice: "My son is still young, and I have no intention of getting married for the time being. I dare to beg my father to take back my order."

Emperor Jing looked down at Wenxi's trembling figure condescendingly, and said after a while, "Okay, since you don't want to, then I will follow you. It's just Xi'er, you have to know that there is a price to pay for being willful."

Wen Xi suddenly raised his head, and before he could see Emperor Jing's eyes clearly, his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

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

Wenxi's birthday dinner was her first public appearance.

This is an imperial practice, and it is only for the first heir to the throne, so the coming-of-age ceremonies of the first heirs of all dynasties are extremely grand.

Before the coming-of-age ceremony dinner, Wen Xi sat in the lounge, dressed in a luxurious and cumbersome gown, closed her eyes and let the make-up artist smear on her unrefined face.She could almost hear her heart beating faster and faster and the blood hissing in her veins, and she had to admit, she was a little nervous.

What will people at the party think of me?Will you think I am a qualified heir?Will my father approve of my performance?Should I be acting more aggressive?Or be more modest?What does the father look like at the coming-of-age ceremony?Mother, please bless me so that I don't make mistakes tonight...

Wenxi was still thinking wildly, the female officer at the door announced that the time was up, and asked the princess to go downstairs.

Wenxi hurriedly opened his eyes and stood up, but was swayed by the heavy dress, and was about to fall. Amidst the exclamation of the female officials, Wenxi was stabilized by a strong hand. Supported by the ground, avoiding the tragedy.

After stabilizing her body, Wenxi turned her head and smiled at the person who supported her, "Jiang Liu, thank you, otherwise I will be making a joke before I show up tonight."

Jiang Liu only nodded, retracted his hand, and returned to his original position.

The security level of the first heir's coming-of-age ceremony is better than that of a state banquet, so he is useless as a bodyguard, just hide in the dark.

Wenxi looked at herself in the glasses, this was the first time she saw herself in full makeup tonight.She looked into the mirror, and found that the person looking at her in the mirror was a familiar yet unfamiliar person, with a familiar face and unfamiliar makeup. Wenxi felt in a trance that she seemed to be looking at another person, one was herself and not the other. own people.

She froze for a moment, and asked Jiang Liu, "Is this me?"

Jiang Liu nodded, "Of course."

"Does it look good?"

Jiang Liu looked up at her, then quickly lowered his head, "It's pretty."

"That's good." Wenxi felt relieved and smiled brightly, "Then I'll go."

Jiang Liu pressed his right hand to his heart and bowed slightly, "Your Highness, I wish you a pleasant and unforgettable coming-of-age ceremony."

Wen Xi walked through the long corridor under the guidance of the female officer, and the soft light of the wall lamps gradually slowed down her fast heartbeat.In the light at the end of the corridor was her father waiting for her.

Gently holding Emperor Jing's arm, Wenxi slowly walked down the spiral staircase. As the first princess of the empire and the first heir to the throne, it was the first time that she entered people's field of vision.

The first dance of the dinner was started by Emperor Jing and Wenxi, after which Wenxi felt like he was dancing all the time.Dancing is a compulsory course for the royal family. Wenxi doesn't feel tired. What makes her feel tired is the enthusiasm and hospitality of each dance partner to her.

She should get used to this, this is something she has to face all her life, but at this time, she is not used to forgiving a just grown-up.

After a few dances, Wen Xi, whose face was frozen with laughter, politely declined the next invitation, took a chance to leave the venue temporarily, and hid in an empty balcony to catch his breath secretly.

On a summer night, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, and the breeze was blowing. This seemed to calm down Wenxi's overheated mind due to everyone's praise. When she saw no one was around, she secretly patted her cheek with both hands, Trying to make myself more sober, I whispered to myself, "Come on, I believe you can do it."

"Push."

With Wen Xi's hand still on his cheek, he heard a low and vague laughter from beside him.She turned her head abruptly, and the gauze curtain was blown by the breeze, only to see a person standing on the balcony next door where she thought no one was there.Knowing that he had been discovered, the man raised his hand and smiled slightly: "Sorry to bother you, I didn't mean to eavesdrop here on purpose, you can pretend that I don't exist and continue~"

The man was leaning leisurely and relaxed on the edge of the terrace in a white dress, with exquisite facial features and picturesque eyebrows.The breeze that blows the gauze curtain also gently blows a few strands of his soft hair. He doesn't care about the messy hair, but just tilts his head slightly to look at Wenxi, his smile is full of sincere apology, but his eyes are bright enough Comparable to the brightest star in the night sky.

Through the gauze curtain that separates the terrace from the venue, the lights from the banquet shone faintly, intertwined with the starry sky, forming a wonderful space as if nothing existed.That person stood in the intertwined light, with curved eyebrows and smiling eyes, as beautiful as a tender dream.

Wenxi's cheeks instantly turned red and hot like fire.

At the coming-of-age ceremony of Wenxi, the first heir to the imperial throne, Princess Wenxi and the general of the alliance met for the first time on the terrace.That late spring princess Wenxi had a sweet and charming dream, but she didn't expect that this dream that no one knew would last six years.

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

When Wenxi woke up, she was already lying in her bedroom. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and rushed out of the hall barefoot in spite of the female officer's obstruction. The emptiness outside the hall door proved her conjecture. , is Jiangliu.

"When was Jiang Liu taken away by whom?"

Before the female official could reply, someone informed that the second prince, Wen Hao, was asking to see him.

Wen Xi frowned, so he had to put aside the matter of Jiang Liu first, and after going back to the dormitory to freshen up, he met Wen Hao in the main hall.

Wen Hao saluted, got up and sat down, and then asked with a smile: "Is everything going well on the way to pray for the emperor?"

Wen Xi nodded slightly, and said, "Thanks to my father, everything is going well."

Wen Hao turned sentimental, "In the past, my sister and I went to pray for the queen mother together. This year, I was busy with trivial matters and couldn't go with my sister. I felt deeply disturbed."

Wenxi was eager to find out about Jiang Liu's situation, but seeing Wen Hao's guilty face, he had no choice but to comfort him and said: "You have entered the court and have official duties, so it's not your fault that you can't go with me. Tomorrow's mother's death day, take a day off. You worship together with me, presumably the spirit of the queen mother in heaven will understand you."

Wen Hao gently wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he only cared about being sad and stopped talking, Wen Xi took the initiative to ask: "What are you doing here so early?"

Wen Hao put down his tear-wiping hand, with a worried expression on his face, "I heard that my father stayed up all night last night. I was worried about my father's health, so I got up early to pay my respects to my father. When I came out from my father's place, I heard that my sister was back." , so I came to see the imperial sister."

Wenxi's eyebrows twitched, "Is Father okay?"

Wen Hao was a little surprised, "Hasn't my sister seen my father yet? My brother thought that my sister would go to see her father as soon as she came back. You know, my father has been in a bad mood these days when my sister traveled , several times in the court got angry and frightened everyone in the court to be in danger."

Wenxi nodded, got up and said, "I'm going to see Father now, do you want to go again?"

Wenxi stood up, and Wen Hao naturally had no reason to sit still, so he hurriedly got up and said, "No, I think the father has a lot to say when he sees the emperor's sister, so the younger brother will go back to the house first."

Wen Hao walked out of the main hall, followed by his personal guards, and whispered: "Your Highness, I didn't see Jiang Liu outside the hall, did you..."

Wen Hao glanced at him expressionlessly, the guard shut up, bowed his head and followed him out.
