Chapter 38: Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Appreciation
In the palace, the lights are colorful, and there is a joy.
This is more than a month after Liu Ruyue returned to the palace, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace and the palace are full of joy, everyone is preparing for the arrival of this day.
"Little master, it's a pity that we can't go out to see the lanterns this year."
"It's okay for Green Yin to want to see lanterns."
"Little Lord, what do you mean...... We snuck out of the palace. ”
Liu Ruyue shook her head lightly: "We can make a lantern festival in the courtyard, you can also bring other palace maids and servants to come over and guess the lantern riddles together, and there will be more people." ”
"Little Lord, what a good idea! It's also fun to make your own lanterns, why didn't the slave think of it. ”
After Lu Yin finished speaking, he jumped to find a small table to discuss tomorrow night's lantern party. When the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace heard that they could see the lanterns in the Yuyue Palace, they all longed for it.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor held a banquet in the imperial garden to admire the moon. The concubines of the palace all rushed forward, for fear of being robbed of their favor. On the main seat, the emperor, the queen mother and the queen are sitting respectively, and the other concubines are seated one after another.
The first to appear is the Fang nobleman who has been favored recently. She performed a small song, with the long skirt of the dancer behind her and her white clothes fluttering, the singing voice was graceful and tender, and the unique tone made people forget to leave.
Fang Guiren's performance was undoubtedly loved by the emperor, even if she was the queen's person, the emperor also rewarded her.
This scene made Chun Ronghua, who was sitting behind Concubine Shu, clench his fingers. Once upon a time, she was also deeply favored by the saints, and as long as the concubines in the harem heard the little songs she sang, they were ashamed to practice their talents, but now her voice is completely destroyed. She looked at the queen secretly, her eyes full of hatred.
In this special festival, as long as you perform well, you may be able to get the favor of the emperor, and you can also be promoted, how can the concubines miss it.
After Fang Guiren, the other concubines all used their housekeeping skills and were not to be left behind. And unexpectedly, the final finale performance turned out to be a charming beauty who fell out of favor a while ago.
She was dressed in a crimson dance dress, and was surrounded by the dancing women in the center, like a flower fairy descending to earth. The dancing is wonderful, dreamlike, and people can't take their eyes off it.
That night, the emperor squinted his eyes to express his favor to the beautiful woman, and the beautiful woman smiled and retreated, she glanced at the concubines and concubines seated, and this hatred was properly pulled.
The annual Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing banquet is over. The queen's face was calm, Concubine Shu's face was calm, and Concubine Yan was annoyed.
In the Yunfu Palace, a Kong Ming lantern is rising.
The front yard of Yuyue Hall is very lively, there are melons and fruit cakes on the table, and the palace maids and servants are guessing lantern riddles with each other one after another, laughing and laughing very comfortably.
"Little nobleman, but there are other concubines who also live in Yunfu Palace."
"Your Majesty, it's Liu Guiren. Liu Guiren lives in the Yuyue Palace, but it is not far from the beautiful Mercy Fragrance Palace. ”
When Qian Yimo heard that it was Liu Ruyue, he suddenly became interested and asked his father-in-law to lead the way. The beautiful woman had already sent someone to wait outside the palace, and the slave saw that the emperor was walking straight towards the Yuyue Palace, and hurriedly returned to the palace to report.
When Qian Yimo stepped into the Yuyue Palace, the laughter in the hall suddenly quieted down, and the palace maid and the eunuch knelt down in a panic. Qian Yimo looked at the shining lights in front of him, and his face was not revealed.
"Where's the noble Liu?"
The small table didn't dare to exhale: "Back to the emperor, the little lord is resting in the backyard." ”
"So, you go on."
The palace maids and eunuchs who were left behind all looked at each other and did not dare to stay longer. Qian Yimo took your father-in-law through the main hall to the backyard, and your father-in-law just remembered to make a sound, but he stopped him.
"Little Lord, at this time of year, you have to release this Kong Ming lantern, why is that."
"Kong Ming lanterns are used for prayer, don't you think that every time you put on Kong Ming lanterns, your mood will be much better."
"But you are very unhappy every time you have a holiday."
"From the moon to the Mid-Autumn Festival, I miss my relatives every festival." Liu Ruyue lowered her eyes: "This is the sixth year......"
"Little master, this is missing Madame."
"No, Greentone. Everything in Liufu has nothing to do with me, and you will think that I am ruthless. ”
"Hehe, Miss will always be Luyin's relatives, if Miss is ruthless, then Luyin will be more ruthless than you."
Liu Ruyue smiled and stopped answering. She turned to look out of the courtyard, a little surprised. She had noticed that someone was nearby before, but she didn't expect to see Qianyimo when she looked back.
"The concubine asks the emperor for peace, and the emperor is blessed."
"I didn't expect Liu Guiren to secretly set off Kong Ming lanterns, no wonder I didn't see Liu Guiren at the banquet in the Imperial Garden tonight."
Liu Ruyue didn't answer, and she was silent. Your father-in-law gave Green Yin a look and retreated outside the courtyard together, and the entire backyard suddenly fell silent.
"Your Majesty, why don't you try it too."
"Oh?"
Qian Yimo stepped forward, and he looked at the three Kong Ming lanterns that were still on the ground and remained silent.
"Since it is what Liu Guiren wants, then I will reluctantly try it."
“……”
Obviously I just want to play, don't think I didn't see you staring at the lights on the ground all the time!
"Ahem, what is the paper on this table for?"
"Kong Ming lantern is also known as prayer lamp. As long as the emperor writes down the wish in his heart on paper and then releases this lamp, then the wish will definitely come true. ”
Wish. Qian Yimo was still expressionless, holding a pen and writing. Liu Ruyue leaned sideways and wanted to look curiously, but this small action naturally couldn't hide from him. He quickly folded the paper again, turned around and saw Liu Ruyue's depressed face, and for some reason he was in a particularly good mood.
Looking at the slowly rising Kong Ming lantern, it flew into the sky, turned into starlight and disappeared under the full moon.
"This lamp has a little meaning, but why is it called 'Kong Ming'."
"It's just a title." At this mention, Liu Ruyue remembered that there was no Kong Ming Lantern in this world, and she quickly changed the topic: "If the sky is full of rising Kong Ming lanterns, then the scene is really good-looking." ”
The corners of Qianyimo's lips are slightly curved.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I've been spared your previous sin of disrespect. Noble Liu, tell me what reward you want. ”
The sin of disrespect...... Liu Ruyue raised her head slightly, her bright eyes flowed, and the favorability on Qian Yimo's head had risen to 25.
"If the concubine wants the dragon and phoenix, I don't know if the emperor is willing to reward it."
"Liu Guiren's bold mind is really unmatched among the harem concubines. Well, so be it. Seeing that you were dressed plainly, I turned around and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose a few more beautiful pieces of jewelry, and then to reward a few fine brocade cloths. ”
"Concubine thank the emperor for the reward, the emperor wants to stay overnight tonight."
Qian Yimo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he really didn't dare to compliment Liu Ruyue's sleeping appearance. immediately refused very indifferently, saying that he would stay at the beautiful woman to rest, and leave with your father-in-law without staying for a moment.
