The palace ushered in a very important event after Hatas's birthday at the end of this year, which was the coronation of Princess Yingran.
In the entire royal family, since Princess Jiatong was crowned, no princess has been crowned in the royal family for twenty-two years. In addition, Yingran is the only grandson of Hatas.
Now that the throne is undecided, and we still don't know what it will be like in the future, everyone has more expectations for Princess Yingran.
The entire meeting hall was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the sacrificial altar at the back was lit with prayer flames.
According to the rules, Yingran needs to kowtow at the sacrificial platform and then go to the meeting hall. Under the witness of the royal family members, Hatas will put the princess crown on her personally.
This means that the princess has become an adult. From then on, she will be the only royal child and will also start to participate in national affairs.
When I got up early in the morning, there were noisy sounds of attendants busy dressing up on the road outside the door.
Su Jingjing opened the door of Wen Li's room and saw the person standing on the balcony with his back to her. She always got up early.
What's more, a lot of things happened in the past few days, so she probably wasn't in the mood for a deep sleep.
"Look outside, it's really lively. There are countless glass lamps placed there. Hatas's birthday was not such a grand event last time." Su Jingjing walked to Wen Li and stood next to Wen Li with the cup in hand.
The tip of her nose suddenly smelled the smell wafting from the cup.
"It's the coffee Xi Moran sent here. He really cared about it. He was able to deliver it to you across the ocean after being so far away. He was afraid of wronging you."
Su Jingjing raised her eyebrows and leaned over with a smile, "How do you know it was him who gave it to you?"
Wen Li turned around and his eyes fell on the red mark on her neck, "It's quite intense."
Su Jingjing didn't take it seriously. She put her hands on the fence and looked at the maid below who was carrying doublings of business jewelry towards Yingran's palace.
"Hatas really loves this granddaughter. The coronation ceremony has not even started yet and he has already given her so many jewels."
Su Jingjing said and looked at Wen Li, "Actually, looking at you like this, I really think you have the demeanor of a princess."
Her mother Lejia was known to be very powerful, both in terms of ability, talent and conduct.
After living in this palace for more than a month, she still knows some things even if she doesn't want to know.
She had more or less heard a lot about Princess Lejia from outsiders.
Folks, especially people in the coastal areas, still remember Princess Lejia. You see, when the princess is mentioned, they are mostly praised and respected.
"This world is unfair. You never grew up here, and you don't enjoy the same respect as Ying Ran. But because of your bloodline, the Fallen Angel really chose you."
Su Jingjing sighed. If Wen Li was born in the palace, his current achievements would probably be considerable.
Instead of being asked to sacrifice her life for a group of unfamiliar people like now.
"Nangong Ye said that the war in the south is tense, and Evans has been attacked one after another. It has stopped for the time being, but I don't know how long it will last."
Evans also suffered heavy losses, but not an inch of the site he was responsible for guarding was lost.
"Are you planning to leave here?" Su Jingjing looked at her.
In this way, Wen Li had the answer in his mind, who had done this to Le Jia.
"This matter should come to an end." Wen Li looked into the distance.
She is different from her mother. She believes what Prince Pei said, if this matter happened to Le Jia.
The mother would definitely sacrifice without hesitation, but she was not a mother, so she didn't have so many worries.
Nor does he have the magnanimity to hold the world in mind.
“Knock knock…”
Yin Sa's voice sounded at the door, and Su Jingjing turned around, "My niece is being crowned, how come his uncle is still free to come?"
"Can I come in?"
Yin Sa opened the door as he spoke and saw the people on the balcony with a smile on his face.
"Wen Li, are you free now? Father wants to see you."
During this time in the morning, Yingran would be the first to go to the sacrificial altar to prostrate, so there would definitely be time.
Hatas stood on the porch, looking at the leaves in the yard that had begun to turn yellow at some point.
"Every year, the leaves turn yellow again." Hatas sighed.
Nilen followed his gaze and looked over, arranging things with a solemn expression.
"I heard that in country G, there will be a family reunion festival in mid-August. The whole family will get together to enjoy the moon and have a reunion dinner."
Hatas heard this and said, "That's good too."
Yin Sa led people to Teng Palace, and saw Hatas sitting on the steps from a distance. A beam of sunlight came down through the eaves and hit his left shoulder.
The strand of silver hair behind the old man's ears seemed to be dancing with light. Yin Sa suddenly sighed that his father had already reached this age.
He is no longer the domineering and domineering person he once was.
"Father, Wen Li is here."
Wen Li felt relieved after hearing Yin Sa's call. When all the truth was revealed before his eyes, the stone in his heart also let go.
Hatas turned around and raised his hand to Wen Li, "Child, come and sit down."
The old man patted the gold cushion beside him, and Wen Li also walked over and sat down next to Hatas.
Seeing this, Nilen walked over and pulled Yin Sa over.
Now that everything has been said, His Majesty wants to have time to say a few words to Miss Wen Li.
As for Your Highness, it’s better not to disturb you here.
"Where are you taking me?" Yin Sa asked.
"Your Highness, although Princess Yingran's coronation ceremony hasn't started yet, everyone from the royal family has almost arrived. You still have to go and have a look."
It’s good to find something to do so that you won’t have to think too much.
Yin Sa glanced at the grandfather and grandson sitting side by side, and still vaguely felt something was wrong.
"Is there something you are hiding from me? What does father want to talk to Wen Li?"
Nilen said with a smile on his face, "What do you say? We'd better hurry over to the altar. We'll be waiting there."
Even if Yin Sa is curious, she can only do the things in front of her first, while Ying Ran is still waiting.
"I haven't asked you yet, how have you been living outside these years?" Hatas suddenly said.
Wen Li looked sideways. The snacks on the table were all of her favorite taste, as well as the tea at hand.
Living in the palace during this period, her preferences are not that difficult to find out.
"very good."
Hatas couldn't help but look sideways when he heard her words, "Are you trying to comfort me, an old man?"
Without the blessing of parents and the support of brothers and sisters, is this called good
"It's up to you to feel good or not. At least I'm still alive now. Compared to those children who can't grow up, I'm already doing very well." "You are quite contented. This is a lot like your mother."
Hatas then asked, "Then what kind of person is your husband?"
Yin Sa said that the child who played harmoniously with her harp and harp was an excellent person, a dragon and a phoenix among people, very good.
But he didn't say who it was, he only asked Wen Li to tell him.
"How is he treating you? Has he spoken loudly to you? What kind of person is he?"
It was difficult for Wen Li to hold his chin and think seriously, "Very good. Although I don't like to smile, my smile looks good. The most important thing is that I chose it myself."
She took Fu Yuxiu home when she was five years old, and her parents and grandfather had all met him.
Although that boy was full of violence at that time, his grandfather liked him very much.
At least they have met the people she chose.
"Really? What you chose must be good."
Wen Li looked at the frustration in Hatas's eyes and said, "You actually want to know what kind of person my father is, right?"
As a father, he loved Le Jia so much that he would rather risk the world's disobedience and would rather let go of the entire people of K country than send his daughter away.
When he knew she appeared, as a father, what he was most concerned about was how his daughter would fare later.
"Actually, my impression of my father is very vague, but I always remember that gentle smiling face. In my memory, they never quarreled. My mother didn't know how to cook, but she was always very serious about studying. My father never I never frowned or had a straight face towards her. I was also thinking at that time that if I get married in the future, I will find a man as gentle as my father."
The handsome man with a thin, sarcastic smile suddenly appeared in front of Wen Li's eyes.
"Although the direction is a little off, I just found a better one."
Hatas' eyes were soft, "Really, that's good."
He always believed that the child never made a mistake when she was in the palace, and the person she chose must be the best.
"I had a dream last night. I dreamed that once upon a time, your mother was crowned at the age of sixteen. I had personally designed the crown for her coronation. It seemed to be something that happened right before my eyes. Now it's Yingran's turn."
Hatas said as he handed over the prepared brocade box. The black lid was opened, and a crown inside shone brightly in the sun.
"This is your mother's crown. She has a stable temperament, but she doesn't like to wear it all the time. It seems that she has worn it no more than three times now."
Hatas touched the crown in his hand, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Wen Li watched him push the crown over.
"Your mother didn't like jewelry and jade in the past. The only thing she always carried with her was almost destroyed that year. Only this is still in my hand, as a souvenir for you."
Hatas said and looked at Wen Li, "If you grew up next to me, you must be like Lejia and be crowned before you are eighteen."
It's a pity that this royal family is really not worthy of accepting her.
"Since yesterday, there have been ambushes in every corner of the palace. You chatted with Prince Pei all night long. People were also dispatched from the military camp not far from the palace. Yun Mu vigilantly led people to guard the entrance of the palace. , what are you going to do?"
Wen Li asked the question so straightforwardly, which Hatas expected.
This little girl's vigilance and sensitivity are unmatched by many people.
"You have actually thought about why my mother died suddenly when I was five years old since she had already left country K. The most important thing is that my mother had already predicted everything before it happened."
But Wen Li, who was involved in all of this, understood why Hatas did the same.
"child… "
Wen Li lowered his head in front of Hatas, as if he had lowered his attitude.
"You are her father, and you have your own considerations. But I am her daughter, and there are some things I must do. If I have offended anything, please forgive me."
Hatas' palm fell on the back of Wen Li's head, gently stroking like a feather, "Child..."
She knew everything, she just never questioned her.
"This is the peace charm my sister gave me when I left the imperial capital. It said it can keep me safe. I give it to you."
Hatas looked at the yellow triangular talisman in her hand, gently picked it up and put it in his pocket.
"Child, can you call me grandfather?"
This was his only regret. Wen Li had a cold temperament and treated him with respect for his elders every time they met.
But that's not how you respect your elders.
He didn't wait for a long time. The child in front of him lowered his head, put his left hand on his right shoulder and bent over, "Grandpa."
For a moment he even thought he was dreaming.
In an instant, Hatas's eyes were red, and he raised his hand and tapped her forehead lightly, "Good child."
What he regretted most in his life was that he did not arrange for someone to watch over Lejia at all times. He was not able to see the child until his death.
I originally thought that I could leave enough time and we could always see each other again in the future.
But that separation became an eternal farewell.
Wen Li finally turned around with the crown in his arms, but still looked back, "I have a younger sister who is my twin. She is more lively than me. She contacted me a few days ago and said she wanted to come over."
If Li Li had accompanied Hatas, he might have smiled more.
"I'm not very good at talking, but I also want to ask you to take care of yourself."
Hatas stood still and watched the little girl holding the box step by step out of Teng Palace.
"Although he is a poor talker, he is very well behaved and polite. He is very much like Le Jia."
Harry walked out of the back hall, and everything that happened just now was in his eyes, and he could see it clearly.
"The more sensible a child is, the more heart-wrenching he is."
Harry smiled, "Who says it isn't?"
Hatas put away the peace charm in his hand, "I haven't thanked you properly yet. You went to the mass grave to help me rescue Le Jia."
No one could have imagined that Prince Harry, who was so timid and fearful of ghosts and gods, could take advantage of the darkness of night to dig out people from a mass grave.
After sending Lejia away, Harry was sick for three days and couldn't get out of bed for three days.
"What's there to be thankful for? If I hadn't left the aftermath to Hebrews, there wouldn't have been so many things that happened later."
Harry still felt angry when he thought about this. The child he had spent so much effort to save still left so early.
The culprit is actually the person he left behind back then. I really regret it.
"We still can't see people accurately with our eyes, but everything is not out of control yet."
Now is the time to correct the mistake,
