On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace is lit up.

The Queen Mother specially invited the emperor to admire the moon in the Xianxia Palace.

This hall is built on the shore of Linghu Lake, and there is a pontoon bridge on the lake, which leads directly to the small island in the middle of the lake, and there is a lakeside hall on the island.

In this main hall, it is the best place to admire the moon in the palace.

A full moon hangs above the deep blue sky, surrounded by stars, where the clear glow of the moonlight shines and the lake rises.

The reflection of the full moon, rippling with the waves, sparkling, like a glimpse of the light.

The moon is cloudy and sunny, and there are still joys and sorrows.

It seems that this reunion day is so rare, and for the whole life, there are several Mid-Autumn Festival reunion nights.

It is a kind of happiness for the whole family to enjoy the moon together under this month.

However, this beautiful thing in this world has not lasted long, just like a reflection in the water.

The night breeze blew, and the reflection of the full moon began to gradually disperse, and it took a long time to gather together.

The breeze blew, and Siyu's heart gradually sank, and also sank into the cold bottom of the lake, extremely cold.

She thought of her mother, and she didn't feel sorrow coming from it, and there were two lines of tears on her face, which flowed unconsciously.

The crown princess Gu, Concubine Guo and Concubine Su next to them could see it clearly, they all gloated, and hurriedly pointed it out to the queen mother on the side.

"Ancestor, take a look at Siyu Niangniang, she is crying there alone, I am afraid that the emperor and the prince will arrive in a while, and she will be unprovoked when she sees her!"

Concubine Su said triumphantly there.

Princess Gu wanted to fan the flames on the side, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw the Queen Mother, and looked at Concubine Su with cold eyes.

She was horrified in her heart, and hurriedly went over and pushed Concubine Su, who was not a fool, and immediately felt that something was wrong and restrained her smile.

Concubine Guo on the side didn't understand why the Queen Mother looked at Concubine Su like this, and she became more and more dazed, so she had to continue to pretend to be stupid there and not say a word.

I saw that the Queen Mother took a deep look at Concubine Su and asked a meaningful word, which almost frightened Concubine Su's soul out of possession.

"The mourning family heard that your mother is suffering from a serious illness, she is alone in Beijing, there are no children around to serve, and your father is far away in Xuanfu, although she is surrounded by slaves, but there is no one who speaks intimate words every day, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the day of the reunion of ten thousand families, I am afraid that your mother is alone, lying on the sickbed alone, and even watching the moon is a luxury, what do you think?"

Concubine Su panicked when she heard this, her mother really wanted to beg her to go back a few days ago, but tonight she was about to make a fool of Na Siyu.

How could she miss the overall situation of this well-arranged scene, so she politely declined, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to be waiting for her here.

At that moment, of course, she was speechless, and hurriedly knelt down and said to the Queen Mother: "Back to the ancestors, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in dilemma, I believe my mother can also understand, so I am willing to accompany you here to spend this Mid-Autumn Festival full moon night!" ”

"The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety, I'm afraid this sentence is not told to you, if this sentence comes out of your father's mouth, I can forgive, because after all, he is the border of the Ming Dynasty, guarding the door of Xuanfu, he and the soldiers under his command, on this full moon night, alone in the cold pass, not to reunite with their families, this is called the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety, you are just a concubine in the palace, there are not many of you, there are not many of you, why can't you go home to see your seriously ill mother in bed!"

Concubine Su blushed and had a thick neck when she said this, she was speechless for a while, how could she not believe it, how did the news that her mother was in the capital and seriously ill in bed spread?

How could the Queen Mother know?

She thought about it, and suddenly had no clue, and she couldn't help but answer the Queen Mother's question, and she was so frightened that her face suddenly fell into a panic.

She thought to herself, what can she do about this, today's overall situation, she can't go!

Princess Gu was also secretly anxious in her heart, and she almost greeted Concubine Su's family in her heart.

She thought to herself what the problem was, why did Concubine Su's family affairs know to the Queen Mother?

Just when Concubine Su opened her mouth and couldn't deal with it, the Queen Mother sighed, looked at the reflection of the full moon in the water with an expressionless face, and said to Concubine Su: "Grant you ten days off, go out of the palace to accompany your mother, now, immediately!" ”

Concubine Su couldn't believe her ears, this was the order!

A well-arranged overall situation, before it started, lost a cadre, but this Concubine Su had to go.

She had no choice but to bow her head to the Queen Mother and thank her: "The Empress Dowager Xie is complete, and the concubine will leave the palace immediately!" ”

Concubine Su had no choice but to thank her, stood up, and walked backwards out of the Linhu Palace, and when she passed by Princess Gu's side, she heard Princess Gu secretly scolding her.

"You guy who has more than enough to do, get out!"

Concubine Su was speechless when she heard this, and after leaving the Linghu Hall, she saw Yan Hong on the side, laughing with the other maids.

She went up and grabbed her severed hand, pulled it up and left, the red in pain almost screamed, but she had to follow quickly.

She dragged her to a secluded place, and seeing that there was no one around, she slapped Yan Hong in the face.

Yan Hong looked surprised, she didn't know what was going on, the tears of grievance in her eyes swirled in her eyes, and she heard Concubine Su say hatefully: "Let me ask you, did the matter of my family come out of your mouth?" ”

"I didn't say anything, I just once once said a word to the empty cicada, but the empty cicada is the person of Crown Princess Gu!"

Hearing her say this, even Concubine Su was puzzled, this empty cicada was someone brought by Princess Gu from her mother's family, but how could her princess's most intimate maid spread this?

After thinking about it, she felt that this matter was very strange, so she turned her head and asked Yan Hong again, "Who else did you say it to the empty cicada?"

"It's gone!"

Yan Hong replied suspiciously, but she thought of something again in a blink of an eye, and said to Concubine Su: "The letter you received seems to have just been put on the table, whether someone will peek at it, then I don't know!" ”

Concubine Su felt extremely frightened at that moment, and thought, could it be that this palace is already full of Siyu's eyeliner, no, how long has she been here.

While she was pondering, suddenly a person came out of the main hall near the lake, and it was the empty cicada.

She came to Concubine Su and hurriedly bowed and said to her, "The crown princess asked me to ask you!" ”

When she said this, she looked left and right to see that there was no one around, and then whispered: "That Guanyin master who thinks of rain, has it been brushed with frost in the stone?" ”

"This, you return to the crown princess, you can rest assured that everything has been done!"

After listening to Concubine Su's assurance, Kong Cicada nodded, bowed to her, and went back to report to the crown princess.

At this moment, another person came out of the Linhu Hall, and from a distance, it turned out to be Granny Ji, Concubine Su didn't dare to delay, knowing that she had to leave the palace.

She had no choice but to take Yanhong and leave far away.

At this time, everything is ready in the Linhu Palace, just waiting for the emperor and the prince to come, everyone admires the moon by the railing, Gu Crown Princess and Concubine Guo, Concubine Chang, and even the seriously ill queen, who almost never shows up, Queen Liu, also came.

Everyone was around the Queen Mother, except for Empress Liu and Siyu.

Empress Liu is because of her own cough, and her cough will get worse every time the autumn season is deepening.

As soon as Siyu heard her cough, she remembered her mother, and unconsciously hid far away.

She missed her mother more and more, and she didn't feel the tears welling up from her eyes, and the crystal tears fell into the lake, between the moon shadows.

However, her behavior made Empress Liu a little angry, and she couldn't help coughing and scolding: "Is this the prince's favored Oiran?" ”

"Queen Hui, exactly!"

Her personal big maid Xuejuan said.

"I didn't expect her to be such a rude person, and she actually disliked the ...... of this palace"

Before he finished speaking, there was another violent cough.

Empress Liu's words made a little eunuch beside her hear, but he was also heavily rewarded by Siyu, and he was busy taking advantage of Empress Liu's inattention and secretly ran to Siyu's approach.

"Back to Siyu Niangniang, Queen Liu said that you dislike her a little and are very dissatisfied with you, look at this ......"

When Siyu heard this, she was shocked, and quickly wiped away her tears with both hands, turned her face to the little eunuch and nodded, and said very gratefully: "Thank you so much!" ”

After saying this, she hurriedly instructed Miaoyu: "This sentence is worth one hundred taels of silver, reward!" ”

Miaoyu hurriedly took out a small dragon silver ticket of one hundred taels from her bosom and handed it to the little eunuch.

This made the little eunuch look out of surprise, and he wanted to refuse, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Siyu being about to go eagerly to Queen Liu's side, so his hand grabbed it unconsciously.

When Siyu was about to arrive at Queen Liu's approach, he hurriedly asked for a hot towel from the maid beside him, walked to Queen Liu's approach, and bowed down.

However, Queen Liu didn't look at her, and said with a cold smile: "I'm afraid you don't think that I haven't shown up in the palace for a long time, and I am insignificant at all, and I am as cheap as they learned, but it is really normal to think about it, you are a woman in the dust, a bitch!" ”

Not to mention that these words were in Siyu's ears, even Miaoyu's ears on the side felt a little unbearable.

Miaoyu blushed with annoyance.

However, Siyu looked as usual, as if nothing had happened, and saw her serve hot towels with both hands.

She said to Queen Liu in a very soft voice: "Erchen is an ominous person, because he has recently lost his mother, he doesn't dare to let my bad luck contaminate you, just listen to your cough aggravated, so I offer this hot towel, just gently press it on the throat, you can make the cough greatly reduced, the water vapor in the lake is aggravated, it is inevitable that the cough will be committed, as long as the queen mother moves to the palace, it will be better." ”

When Queen Liu heard her say this, she was skeptical, but the hot towel fell to her throat, and it was really much better, which made her anger somewhat reduced, and when she heard that she had recently lost her mother, she naturally felt that what she said just now was a little heavy.
