"Fourteen?" Yun Shang thought for a moment and said, "The youngest of the unmarried grandsons of Lady Hua Guo is twenty-one years old already, so the age of fourteen seems a little too young, doesn't it? Which boy does your mother like? "
Cao Han lowered his eyes and said, "My mother has taken a fancy to the seventh childe from the Hua family."
"The seventh? He is already twenty-four years old this year. He has been at the border for six or seven years and hasn't returned to the Jin City, so he hasn't talked about marriage. Now he did return to the city and is about to get married. But if your niece is fourteen years old, the seventh childe is ten years older than her," replied Yun Shang.
"According to my mother, they are for the seventh childe. After all, although the seventh childe is a little older, his father is the eldest son of Lord Hua Guo. His father is Lord Hua Guo's heir, and he will most likely inherit his title in the future... "
Yun Shang chuckled, "Your mother has a good idea, but why didn't she think that although his father is Lord Hua Guo's heir and is going to inherit his title, the seventh childe's mother is just a concubine."
"According to my mother, although the seventh childe is just a child of a concubine, if his father inherits the title, it may not his eldest brother who becomes the heir. It's still early to decide. There are many variables in it," Cao Han said.
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and said, "So, if the seventh childe considers marrying your niece, your mother will try her best to support the seventh childe to become the heir?"
Yun Shang smiled, "Your mother is really scheming. But she knows little about Lord Hua Guo's mansion. Lord Hua Guo's mansion... At least in the main room of Lord Hua Guo's mansion, the brothers share positive emotions such as solidarity and helpful, harmony and affection. Unlike the Cao mansion, there were so many twists and turns. Your mother's scheme is likely to fail in Lord Hua Guo's mansion. "
"Your Majesty, my mother has been staying in the mansion for decades and is very capable. And my niece has been learning from my mother all the time. If she really gets married with the seventh childe and has the intention to
s down from the bell tower, your majesty will will walk along the road in front of the palace gate, all the way to the steps in front of the Taiji Palace, to the middle of the hall, and sat down on the seat of the Empress.
"Then, after your majesty and your highness are seated, the ministers can enter the hall according to the ranks and kneel down. Master Liu would announce the imperial edicts. After that, all the officials will congratulate you. After that, the real ceremony will be over. "
"After that, I will have three hours to change the clothes for your majesty, and then the banquet will begin."
While handing Qin Yi a comb, she smiled and said, "Madam Qi has told me these rules many times recently, and I've heard them more than five times."
Everyone laughed.
Without any expression on her face, Madam Qi said, "I have to mention these again and again so that you won't make mistakes. Today is a big day for their majesties, and no mistake is allowed."
Yun Shang yawned, as if she didn't care much about it. After a long time, she said casually, "Why do I feel that this ceremony is different from the one when her former majesty became the empress last time?"
Madam Qi nodded, "Yes, it's different. Last time it was just a simple grand Empress coronation, but today it's the Emperor's enthronement as well as the Empress' coronation. It's naturally different."
Yun Shang nodded. She was about to say something, when she heard someone talking outside...
