As the saying goes, "the moon of the fifteenth is sixteen round", but the Jingshi on the night of August 16 is not as lively as the night of August 15.

Great Zhou Chengping for many years, the people are quite solid, and the folk customs are relatively open to the previous dynasty, so that every New Year's Festival, the people of Beijing are eager to play countless tricks.

What's more, all the programs on this Mid-Autumn Festival night were all available during the Taizu period of this dynasty, how could they not be happy?

Before the sun set, the front of the Kyoshi Imperial Street began to be lively.

In the past, hundreds of operas, juggling, folk craft stalls, etc., could only be seen in the East and West Markets, and these were definitely not allowed to appear on the royal street where the Forbidden Palace was located. However, today is different, all year round, and only on this day, the Son of Heaven can "rejoice with the people"; Only on this day, ordinary people have the opportunity to see the style of today, the royal street is naturally crowded with people, those who do small business, set up small stalls, and jugglers, how can they not take this opportunity to make more money for him?

This night, the most nervous and busiest thing was the Jingzhao Yin Yamen and the officials and commanders in the Praetorian Guard, especially the officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, all of them went out, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry on the royal street, and they all widened their eyes as if they were copper bells, lest a wrong eye let go of the wrongdoers-

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, at three o'clock, the emperor will bring the clan, important ministers and nobles to the forbidden palace tower; According to the practice of previous years, the Inner Court Division will distribute silver coins, fresh fruits, moon cakes and snacks on the city tower, which is intended to show that the emperor's grace is favored by all the people, and the fresh things will be feasted on the people. And this time of year is when the crowd is the wildest and the Praetorian Guards are the most nervous-

Who doesn't want money? Even if you can't grab the money, you can grab the mooncake snacks made in the imperial kitchen, as well as the fruits that are offered to the royal court, isn't that also excellent?

Therefore, every year when it comes to this link, someone will be stepped on, and even fight because of physical conflicts, which makes the Praetorian Guards and Jing Zhaoyin a headache.

It is said that the Ministry of Rites has long noticed this incident, and a clash in front of the royal car is really unseemly, and it is "contrary to the teachings of the saints"; Second, they were afraid that people with ulterior motives would be mixed in and be detrimental to the emperor.

However, I haven't heard of any changes in this year's link, I'm afraid it's "my nephew playing lanterns" - it's the same, right? Jingzhao Yin Sheng Huaide and Gu Kai, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, glanced at each other, and both saw exhaustion and helplessness in each other's eyes. But they had no choice but to cheer up and take on the task of guarding the Beijing Division.

It's just getting dark.

Inside the Emperor's Bedchamber.

Yu Wenrui stretched out his arms and let Zhan Lu tie the belt around his waist for him. She has been greedy lately, and her clothes are either skirts and robes that are shorter, or the cuffs and trousers have shrunk by an inch, and she can't wear them anymore.

After Jing Yan sighed with emotion, "The child is the same every day", he had to recruit the needle to quickly measure the size and make new clothes for the emperor, and he also folded his spirit, and was busy for a few nights, and rushed to make a few new regular clothes, casual clothes of accessories, purses, and other things.

This Wulong casual dress is just entered by the Acupuncture Division, the length and shortness, fat and thin all fit, especially the color of this shirt, Yu Wenrui likes it even more.

Since she was a child, she has been accustomed to seeing her sister-in-law wearing plain clothes on non-ceremonial occasions, especially white, wearing it on her sister-in-law's body, how good it looks. She loves the house and the black, so she also likes white the most.

"How's it going out there?" Yu Wenrui asked.

At this time, Chunjun was carefully tying a purse with plain white embroidery to the belt around her waist.

Shen Quan just came down from the city tower, and replied with a smile: "Master, you haven't seen that excitement!" There are crowds of people, some doing business, juggling, and kneading people and cutting window flowers...... Anyway, there are so many people, waiting to see your style! ”

When Yu Wenrui heard the "noodle pinching man", he thought of the small portrait of his own noodle that he had forced into the pillow of Jing Yan to accompany her, and his heart was sweet, and he subconsciously stroked the embroidered purse hanging in front of his legs-

The stitches are fine, the shape is plain and elegant, especially the wooden wood on this, which matches the breath on his body...... My sister-in-law really has a vision, she really cares for me......

"It's hard for them."

Yu Wenrui tilted his head and smiled at himself in the bronze mirror, "I also think my demeanor is good." ”

Shen Quan & Chunjun & Zhan Lu: "......"

After tying up the jade crown, Yu Wenrui went straight to Kuntai Palace non-stop, with only one purpose: to persuade his sister-in-law not to go up the city tower with him again.

However, the result was still the same as that day—

"The emperor is all there, how can the mourning family not go?"

Yu Wenrui knew that her sister-in-law had a gentle temperament, but she had a lot of opinions in her heart, and she persuaded unwillingly: "Shen Quan just came back and said that there were a lot of people gathered in the city, and they all came to see my demeanor. Sister-in-law, you see, they are all here to see the demeanor of my emperor, not to see the demeanor of the queen mother! ”

How could Jing Yan not understand that she was dissuading herself in a roundabout way? Then he chuckled and said, "Wouldn't it be better to have one more person to set off your emperor's demeanor?" ”

The corners of Yu Wenrui's mouth twitched, and he said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law! The castle tower is dangerous, I don't know what tricks they will have. I have martial arts, and we have made arrangements in advance......"

Jing Yan looked directly at her: "Because of the danger, I have to accompany you even more!" You are in danger, but let me stay in the harem, worry-free, if you are me, will you be at ease? ”

Yu Wenrui froze when he heard this, and then his heart fluttered: Does my sister-in-law mean that no matter where I go, no matter what happens, she will accompany me?

I only heard Jing Yan continue: "I am your sister-in-law, since I already know the danger, how can I let you go alone?" ”

Yu Wenrui wanted to say, "I'm not alone, I'm a master of guards", but this sentence was choked back by the sentence "I am your sister-in-law", and her heart was sour.

Yu Wenrui forcibly suppressed the strangeness in his heart and said, "I knew that my sister-in-law would not agree, so I ordered them to turn this ...... out in the inner library."

As he spoke, he ordered the palace maid to present a tray.

"What is this?"

"Golden silk soft armor, the things that Emperor Gaozu used in the past, are worn closely, and no matter how sharp the blade is, it can't be pierced," Yu Wenrui sighed, "It's really a good thing, a hundred years have passed, and it's still so flexible." ”

Jing Yan was not in a hurry to take it, she stared at Yu Wenrui suspiciously: "What about you?" ”

Yu Wenrui raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Me? Naturally, you have to wear a piece of self-defense! ”

As she spoke, she played with the sewing box that Jing Yan put aside as if she was bored, picked up a freshly embroidered red hairband on it, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law made this for me again?" I'll try it! ”

With that, he turned around and left, leaving Jing Yan and the tray behind.

Jing Yan stared at her distant happy back, her eyes slowly slid over the golden silk soft armor, and her face became deeper and deeper: Such a good thing, even if it is in the forbidden palace, I am afraid that I will not be able to find the second one, right?

When the time is right, in the Qingde Palace, Yu Wenrui and Jing Yan sit in the middle, and the east and west rows below, respectively, are the important ministers of the court and the relatives of the clan, and they are staggered to celebrate the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Because the day before yesterday, the old Zongzheng Yu Wen Chengji died, it was this year's Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet that everyone did not dare to work very hard, but as in previous years, they said some festive words of "His Majesty Xià Shengming", "Great Zhou Chengping" and "All the People are happy", and the atmosphere was quite bland.

Yu Wenrui took two sips of imperial wine, raised his eyes and swept the team of the clan: It is okay if there is no shadow of the old Zongzheng, but Brother Dahuang is currently mourning in the mansion. Without him, there will be less talk to drink, and there will be less fun.

Yuwenrui has always liked Yiwang Yuwenda Kuangda and casual, and he really lives up to his name and title; She also likes to listen to Yuwenda comment on the world's scenic spots, which always make people feel like they are there.

I don't know what it will be like to be alone on the reunion festival of the world tonight, Brother Dahuang is alone, guarding the spiritual position of the old Zongzheng.

The more Yu Wenrui thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, and quietly recruited Shen Quan.

"Go, prepare some good fruits and moon cakes, pack them, you personally follow them, and send them to Yijun Wangfu." Yu Wenrui lowered his voice.

"Master, what do you want?" Shen Quan also suppressed his voice.

"Send it to King Yi. Let's just say that it is my heart, although I can't get out of the palace, I haven't forgotten his brother. If you want him not to be too sad and hurt his body, I and Da Zhou need him to be good. ”

Shen Quan nodded and wrote them down one by one.

"Oh, yes! Don't use the big red one for the food box, someone just died in the house...... With a plain case. You are all dressed modestly. Yu Wenrui instructed again and again, watching Shen Quan take the order.

Speaking of Shen Quan, he went down and ordered a few safe little internal supervisors, and ordered to prepare fruits and cakes, and put them in vegetarian boxes.

As soon as he took people into the car, he listened in a trance to the chatter of the little inner eunuch who served back and forth: "This year's lion dance is so beautiful!" "Hey! This lion is not only beautiful, but also bigger than ever! "Not only are they big, but they're numerous!" "It is said that it was specially prepared by Prince Xiang, just to make our majesty happy."

The more Shen Quan listened, the more his heart sank, and he faintly felt uneasy. But he had a task on his side, so he had to give the order to set off.

He sat in the car with a heart, listening to the "squeak" sound of the wheels pressing against the stone slabs on the road, and his heart became more and more unsteady. He lifted the curtain of the car uneasily, wanting to see if there was anything unusual in the direction of the forbidden palace.

Just glanced at it, Shen Quan only felt a flower in front of him, and under the inky blue night sky, a white shadow flashed on the ridge.

Shen Quan rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, there was nothing.

Could it be that I am dazzled?

Yiwang's mansion is hung all over the silk, in the hall is the tablet of the god of Yuwen Chengji, and behind the tablet is a huge golden silk nanmu coffin.

Yiwang Yuwenda was filial piety, kneeling alone on the ground in front of the tablet, hanging his head and burning paper money into the brazier one by one.

The night was getting deeper.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and Yuwenda shivered inexplicably. He looked up in horror and was surprised to see the flames of the two white candles on the incense table suddenly extinguished.

Yu Wenda breathed and turned back suddenly: "What person!" ”

Just behind him, a person stood tall.

It was a woman, tall and slender, dressed in plain white clothes, with a proud and untamed aura all over her body.

After all, Yuwenda has extraordinary martial arts, and he doesn't feel very scared at this time, he Huo Ran got up, faced the woman in white, and said in a calm voice: "Who is Your Excellency?" What is the purpose of trespassing on my mansion? ”

The woman sneered: "King Yi is so bold! Alone here guarding this coffin late at night? ”

As she spoke, she pointed to the golden silk coffin, her eyes showing disdain.

Yuwenda's eyes sank, "What about this king, I'm afraid it's not Your Excellency's business, right?" Besides, it is rude for Your Excellency to point your hand at my grandfather's god, isn't it? ”

The woman in white snorted coldly indifferently, "Grandfather? Yiwang is really kind! After more than 20 years of admitting the thief as his father, are you still in the dark? ”

"What did you say!" Yuwen Dafeng was stunned, his fists were clenched, and the muscles of his whole body were tense, as if he was going to fight with the woman.

The woman in white was not afraid, but floated towards him, her body as fast as lightning.

Yuwenda was startled, the woman had already deceived him, and the two were no more than a foot apart.

Yuwenda seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he stared at the woman's face in disbelief-

How familiar is that face?

The familiar one seems to be his own face......

Again, the woman in white took a small step towards him.

Yu Wenda's heart tightened suddenly, and some kind of maintenance and tacit understanding that seemed to have existed for a long time burst through his body and mind at that moment, and he was already ...... It seems that more than 20 years ago, this was the case.

"You...... Who is it? Yuwenda heard himself ask this sentence with difficulty, and his voice was so unfamiliar that he didn't seem to know it.

The woman in white chuckled, looking at him with eyes that seemed to have a slight temperature, "You should ask, who are you...... Yu Wenlin. ”
