After staying in the Liu Mansion for two days, Shangguan Feng'er and Shangguan Chen returned to the palace. The day after returning to the palace was Shangguan Lafang's coming-of-age ceremony.
In this world, the fifteenth birthday is the beginning of adulthood, and some unmarried adult men and women will be invited to attend the coming-of-age ceremony for both women and men.
At the banquet, most of the women showed off their talents to the fullest, and the purpose was self-evident, so many people got married at the coming-of-age ceremony.
But there is an unwritten rule in this coming-of-age ceremony: if it is a woman’s coming-of-age ceremony, underage sisters in the family are not allowed to participate, but must also be avoided; if it is a man, his younger brother must avoid it. Therefore, when it comes to Shangguan Lafang’s coming-of-age ceremony,
Shangguan Feng'er stayed in Yilan Hall all day long.
On the day of Shangguan Lafang's coming-of-age ceremony, Shangguan Feng'er felt very depressed. For some reason, she seemed to want to do something to vent her feelings, so she ordered someone to place a guqin in the pavilion in the garden behind Yilan Palace.
She sat in front of the guqin and slowly plucked the strings. Her mind was blank, but she felt very confused. Even she didn't know what she was thinking about, and she made several wrong mistakes.
From time to time, the palace maids could be heard secretly discussing which young masters would be attending today's banquet, and commenting on those young masters, but most of them only commented on their appearance and background.
Shangguan Feng'er just smiled after hearing this, but the smile did not reach her eyes after all.
I'm afraid these young men really like Shangguan Lafang herself, and not many of them come for Shangguan Lafang herself, but more for the power behind her.
But in the end, the conversation between the palace maids aroused Shangguan Feng'er's interest, and that was the matter of the new emperor Li Xiangran of Qi State asking for peace. I heard that this time Li Xiangran sent his younger brother Li Moran to Yan State to ask for peace, and this was also the case between Yan and Qi.
Part of the League of Nations.
Speaking of Li Moran, Shangguan Feng'er felt that he was not an ordinary person, not because of his title as the most handsome man in Qi, but because of his attitude towards the throne.
Regarding the throne, this is something that many royal children dream of. However, he always shows indifference to the throne. On weekdays, he is even more intoxicated and travels around. It gives people the impression that he has nothing to do and is unlikely to become a great person.
Shangguan Feng'er narrowed his eyes slightly, "Don't fight, don't grab, stay aloof, do nothing, haha." Is Li Moran really such a man? If not, then this man would be too terrible.
It is said that the previous emperor of Qi had more than ten children, and before the emperor died, several princes had already begun to fight overtly and covertly for the throne. Only Li Moran did not fight for it.
As the biological legitimate son of the queen, and backed by relatively superior forces in the DPRK, Li Xiangran eventually defeated several other princes and became emperor. However, this also made him a target of public criticism. Several defeated princes formed an alliance and their power increased.
However, Li Moran, who had always refused to fight and remained neutral, now sided with the new emperor Li Xiangran, saying that he wanted to support the imperial power.
Of course, all Li Moran could do to help Li Xiangran was just words, because while the princes were cultivating their power, he had been doing nothing and living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes like Shangguan Chen. Naturally, he could not help Li Xiangran in any real way.
Very busy.
Many times, what people will always remember is not how much others usually paid for them, but who helped them when they were in the most difficult time. Even if they gave him a straw, they will remember it in their hearts afterwards.
