Xiao Yuanshan personally visited Li Xiao's wife, Mrs. Li, and asked her to preside over Xiao Zhixing's coming-of-age ceremony.

Early in the morning, when the emperor's huge reward was delivered to the palace, those who were still waiting and watching came immediately, and guests gathered immediately.

Xiao Yuanshan looked very happy today. He was wearing brand new uniform and smiling at everyone.

When the auspicious time arrived, the ceremony began. Xiao Zhixing walked step by step towards the twelve-story platform, while Old Madam Li held his hair and gave him a message.

Xiao Yuanshan's eyes were moist.

Finally, he personally held up a golden jade crown with a dragon and phoenix pattern and put the crown on Xiao Zhixing.

That's a men's crown.

Everyone watching the ceremony was muttering in their hearts that the little prince's twelve layers of clothing were also different and were not the proper clothes for a woman's coming-of-age ceremony.

In addition to the dragon cloud belonging to the prince, there is also a strange fusion of men's clothing and tights, and the fairy herbs, birds and beasts on it are also commonly used by men.

But Prince Xiao's outfit is indeed very nice, with both the feminine beauty of a woman and the handsomeness of a man.

Xiao Yuanshan personally put the ceremonial crown on her, and then announced in front of everyone that he would step back behind the scenes and that Xiao Zhixing would inherit the throne as the new generation of super-first-class prince.

Xiao Zhixing was surprised, "Father?"

How can the throne be passed down while the previous generation is still alive? It's not like he is an emperor, so he can't be the emperor emeritus.

Xiao Yuanshan smiled and said, "I am old now, and I just want to be a farmer and enjoy my life. I feel relieved to leave the Zhenguo Palace to you."

Xiao Zhixing lifted his robe and knelt down, "Thank you, father."

Xiao Yuanshan deserves her kneeling.

Xiao Yuanshan personally helped her up, smiling brightly, "Good, good, my daughter will become a beautiful lady when she reaches the age of marriage, I am very pleased."

Not long after the ceremony, Luo Mangong suddenly came in person holding the imperial edict, and everyone bowed and waited.

"…To celebrate your coming of age, Xiao Jiazhi is promoted to the title of a superior first-rank prince of a different surname, and given the title of Yuansheng. I decree this!"

The people present were stunned for a moment before they reacted.

Does Xiao Yuanshan no longer have to abdicate the throne?

This Xiao family actually has two princes? !

Is the emperor trying to... fatten the pigs so he can kill them later?

Why did he suddenly become so generous when he was so stingy with the title?

Some people couldn't help but frown, thinking that having two kings in one family was too glorious.

Moreover, if it is not properly controlled, it will become a big problem in the future. Why is Your Majesty so confused?

Or does the emperor really think that Xiao Zhixing is his daughter?

Otherwise, why would she leave the eldest prince alone and raise him like a stepfather, but show such favor to Xiao Zhixing?

Xiao Zhixing took the imperial edict with both hands, a complex expression flashed across his face, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Lord Luo Man did not miss her expression and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Prince Yuan Sheng. Your Majesty is celebrating a great wedding today. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs and cannot come in person, so he specially ordered this old servant to come and drink a glass of wedding wine."

"Eunuch Luo, please."

People who are listening with their ears pricked up: Numb, numb.

Looking at Xiao Yuanshan with a gloomy face, they suddenly felt some sympathy.

Why does it look like the emperor is here to kidnap someone?

Then Lord Luo Man sat down, and the empress dowager's gift arrived.

The Queen Mother came from the Longxi Li clan, and was very wealthy, and directly gave Xiao Zhixing 3,000 acres of fertile land, 10 shops, and 20 pieces of gold, silver, jewelry, spices, and cloth.

Everyone: Is this the Empress Dowager’s private dowry?

They were completely numb.

Could it be that Xiao Zhixing is really the emperor's son? !

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward."

Xiao Zhixing thought to himself that this mother and son were interesting, were they thinking the same thing?

"Prince Yuansheng, if you have time, please go to the Empress Dowager's palace. I will go back and report now." The head nanny, Song, instructed with a smile.

"Yes, Yuan Sheng will definitely go and bother the queen someday."

After seeing off Nanny Song, not long after the emperor's death, several concubines in the emperor's harem who had a low sense of presence sent valuable gifts.

Soon after, the Northern Barbarian envoy An Wuxi also arrived, with his followers carrying a tray covered with red cloth.

Xiao Zhixing smiled so much that his eyes did not reach the bottom of his eyes. "So it's Master An. You are tired from the long journey and you are old. Why didn't you take a good rest?"

An Wuxi smiled, "Today is Prince Yuansheng's big day, how can I not join in the fun?"

He waved his hand, and the people behind him lifted the red cloth on the plate, revealing a blood-stained leopard symbol.

"This is the Song Army Leopard Talisman. My emperor feels that it is most appropriate to return this item to its original owner."

Others couldn't help but glare, this was a humiliation!

Fifty thousand of the Song army were killed in battle, twenty thousand were captured, the main general was dead, and the unit number was completely destroyed. Such a "gift" was a blatant mockery.

Xiao Zhixing sneered, "My Lord, are you not going to stop the war? Well, I don't want to stop the war either. How about I go north immediately and hunt on the grassland again?"

An Wuxi frowned, "Your Highness has misunderstood. Song Kang is a rebel general of Dasheng. Our emperor sent back his relics as a gesture of goodwill."

Xiao Zhixing snorted coldly, "Whether Song Kang is a traitor or not is up to our country to judge, and you are not allowed to judge and humiliate him."

He waved his sleeve and sucked the leopard talisman into his hand, "I have taken the leopard talisman. Master An is a bad guest, please leave. I won't see you off."

An Wuxi was not angry, he just bowed and left.

Xiao Zhixing frowned. It seemed that she was not scared enough, as she had to participate in this negotiation.

Everyone thought that everything had finally calmed down, but unexpectedly, someone came to give gifts again.

"To congratulate the prince on his great happiness, I present him with thirty thousand taels of gold, fifty thousand taels of silver, a precious sword, and thirty fine horses!"

The person who came had an ordinary appearance. He stood at the door and announced loudly to attract attention. There was a long line outside.

Xiao Zhixing was surprised. "Excuse me, what is your address?"

Who is sending this valuable gift?

The middle-aged man smiled and bowed, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. My master has said something that you will know in the future. The gift has been delivered. I will take my leave."

He put down the gift and left very decisively.

Xiao Zhixing's heart moved. Could it be Xiao Yan?

"Is it her?" Zhao Yunqi received the news first and had the same guess.

Luo Mangong bowed and said, "I asked someone to check. The man came and went so quickly that there is no trace left."

Zhao Yunqi seemed to be thinking about something.

The Emperor System said, "It must be her. Xiao Zhixing is coming of age. How could her mother not express anything? Where is she hiding?"

Zhao Yunqi shook his head to indicate that he didn't know either.

At the palace, after the lively coming-of-age ceremony, Xiao Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief after seeing off the guests. Her face was almost frozen from smiling.

Bihe and the others were there to register and clean up. She and Xiao Yuanshan took a breath and sat together to talk about what happened today.

"Your Majesty has appointed two kings to our clan. Father, do you have any rules in mind?"

Xiao Yuanshan stroked his long beard and said, "Your Majesty's thoughts are hard to guess. Perhaps you want to make someone go crazy before you destroy him?"

"That's terrible. Your daughter is arrogant to begin with."

Xiao Yuanshan laughed loudly, "Don't be afraid, dad is still here, your arrogance is nothing."

Thinking back to the time when he beat Zhang Xiu and Zhang Rengui in a rage, the emperor didn't do anything to him but only fined him a little bit of his salary as a token of his respect.

"Remember, we have to be reasonable. If you hold the word "reason", His Majesty can't do anything to you. He claims to be a wise ruler who values ​​face."

Xiao Zhixing gave him a thumbs up.

Everyone in the live broadcast room gave crazy tips to congratulate Xiao Zhixing on his coming of age and promotion to prince, and Bai Su was so happy that she smiled silly.

It's all her money.

She couldn't help but kowtow twice to Xiao Zhixing. The prince was truly a living Bodhisattva and the God of Wealth!

I kowtowed to the live broadcast room again: I must thank Qin Zhen, If It's Sunshine, I Like Happy Daily, Wake Up and Eat, Jiuding Tianlong's Gou Cangtian, and users' support, thank you!!
