When Duan Yulin arrived at Penglai Continent by boat, the concubines had been waiting for a long time, and the banquet in Anchang Hall was moved to Longze Pavilion on Penglai Continent in advance to continue. At this time, the wives had already returned home, and only the county lord of Huan Zhen stayed because of the invitation of Princess Qinxin, so they also came to Penglai Island together.

Longze Pavilion is the first big pavilion of Taiye Pond, which is a place dedicated to the imperial concubine fishing, moon appreciation, and fireworks watching, and there are jade tables and chairs in the pavilion, which are naturally cool to sit on in the summer season; In cold weather, the animal skin is covered on the surface of the table and chair, which is warm and comfortable. The beams are all made of white marble, and they shine in the moonlight at night, which is stunningly beautiful. There are also Chengxiang Pavilion, Zixiang Pavilion, Recitation Pavilion and Fucui Pavilion four corner pavilions surround the Longze Pavilion, Chengxiang, Recitation Rui is the heavy eaves, Zixiang, Fucui is a single eaves, and the Longze Pavilion is called the Five Dragons Pavilion together. The pavilions are all green glazed tile roofs, the yellow tiles are cut and carved dragon and phoenix cornices, and the beams under the eaves are painted with small gold spindles, which are gorgeous and colorful, golden and brilliant, and can be described as luxurious.

Seeing Duan Yulin's holy drive landing on the island and entering the pavilion, everyone squatted and saluted Wanfu: "The concubines (slaves and maids) welcome the holy driver, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an!" ”

"Let's be flat." After Duan Yulin took his seat, he found his cousin who he hadn't seen for many years among many familiar faces, and he was both happy and a little curious about why she was here, so he said, "Isn't this Huan Zhen?" Since Uncle Huang took you to the Ten Thousand Dynasty Meeting three years ago, you haven't been in the palace since. I didn't expect to see you at this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet today, the bigger the more beautiful! In the future, I will enter the palace more often to accompany the Queen Mother and Qinxin. ”

"But isn't it, when the concubine was in Anchang Palace, she said that this Huan has really grown up, but she still looks as cute as when she was a child. It just so happened that Qin Xin didn't have a friend of the same age in the palace, so the concubine took charge and stayed with Qin Xin for a few days to talk, and the two sisters may not have seen each other for a long time. Feng Wu continued Duan Yulin's words.

Duan Xiyan was embarrassed by the two emperors and queens, so she shyly pulled Duan Qin and said modestly: "Huan is really ugly, how dare you call it beautiful?" If you want to talk about beauty, Uncle Huan Zhen's family has a pair of twin cousins, so they are really like fairies! Huan Zhen will listen to the emperor's words, and he will often go to Yongshou Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace in the future. "She is talking about Yao Xi's own brother, the two daughters of the Yao Ling family in Shuntian Mansion, Yao Biyuan and Yao Tingxuan.

"It's a pity that Lord Yao is serving outside Beijing, otherwise the concubine would really want to see these two legendary beauties with her own eyes." Feng Yi was a little curious about Huan Zhen's cousin. Concubine De Ji Yeguang, who was sitting next to Feng Yi, covered her sleeves and smiled, without waiting for Feng Yi to ask the reason, Ji Yeguang said in her ear: "Who said that my sister can't see it, maybe these two will be among them in the next draft." Feng Yi couldn't help but shake her head and laugh when she heard her words. Duan Yulin saw Feng Yi and Ji Yeguang whispering and laughing, and he didn't know what he was talking about, so he asked: "What do you two say quietly, and let everyone listen to it." ”

The true content of the conversation between the two is naturally not suitable for announcing in this situation, so Feng Yi said with an idea: "Back to the emperor, when the banquet in Anchang Hall was not dispersed, Sister Shufei felt exhausted, so she wanted to go back to the palace first, but she was reluctant to Princess Lingyu. So Sister Concubine De asked Mu Lan to send the princess to Lihua Hall to accompany Concubine Shu for a while, but just now Sister Concubine De secretly told the concubine that the princess had only left for a while, and she began to miss the princess, so I laughed at my sister's love for her daughter. ”

"Sister Concubine De is kind-hearted, and she always thinks of Sister Concubine Shu's heart." Xu Ying grabbed Duan Yingping, who was sitting on her lap, broke a small piece of moon cake and handed it to him.

"Pity the hearts of parents in the world, Concubine De understands Concubine Shu's pity for her son, and I also know that your deep affection for Yingping's calf licking is the same." As he spoke, he raised the wine cup and saluted Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian smiled back, and there was a pulse of warmth between the two concubines. And Feng Wu, who was sitting next to Duan Yulin, saw this scene in her eyes, but it had a different meaning, the virtuous concubine had been unfavored for many years, why did the emperor have been kind to her recently? Feng Wu also stood up and raised his glass: "This wine is called Cuiju Brewing, with chrysanthemums into the wine, sweet and delicious, not only suitable for the season and not intoxicating." Just now, everyone drank a lot at the banquet, so the palace specially changed this chrysanthemum wine, even if you drink a few more cups, you will not get drunk, let us drink this cup to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven! After speaking, he took the lead in drinking this cup to the emperor, and everyone followed suit, and Duan Yulin did not shirk.

Just admiring the moon is naturally not elegant enough, and it has to be matched with a little rhythm to be complete. So tonight's performance in the pavilion is the two most well-known and skilled musicians of the Palace Music Bureau, Ling Lu, a guzheng player, and Liu Leshi, a harpist. Ling Lu entered the palace at the age of fifteen, and now has been in the palace music bureau for five years, she is wearing a palace satin plain snow silk skirt today, with three thin braids hanging down on each side of the double bun and a pair of chrysanthemum silver ornaments to decorate the scene, it is said that this is a unique hairstyle in her hometown. Ling Lu is as her name suggests, with a cold and glamorous temperament, and she played the guzheng in one hand and made her shine at the Ten Thousand Dynasties meeting four years ago; Liu Leshi is even more prestigious, she is forty years old this year, and fifteen years ago when she was still in the Huai Dynasty, she was promoted to the head of the Palace Music Bureau - Zhangle. It is said that since Liu Zhangle entered the palace, he has performed for countless large and small banquets, and his exquisite skills are unmatched in the whole Dahan. As she grew older, she had stopped attending public banquets for nearly a decade, and only occasionally performed at royal family dinners like today, and today she looks refreshed in a lilac brocade dress.

"I haven't heard Liu Zhangle's piano sound for a long time, it's a natural sound." Feng Wu saw Duan Yulin slightly closing his eyes and enjoying the beautiful music, so he picked up a piece of snowy skin mooncake and put it on his plate, and said: "Your Majesty, try this snowy skin mooncake, this year's filling has added pea puree, osmanthus and hawthorn mud, the taste is very special." Duan Yulin picked it up and tasted it, it was really sweet and delicious, so he let everyone enjoy the deliciousness: "This moon cake is really good, it is better than the previous Wu Ren moon cakes, everyone try it quickly." Under the bright moonlight, listening to the sounds of heaven while tasting delicious wines is truly the ultimate enjoyment. ”

All the concubines also began to taste moon cakes and all kinds of fruits, Wen Feng and Luo Zixiao, who were sitting at the bottom, kept talking, Luo Zixiao saw that Wen Feng had been eating oranges and grapes, so he sandwiched a piece of abalone egg yolk moon cake to her: "Don't always eat those sour fruits, eat too much carefully and hurt your stomach, come and taste this moon cake, the filling is first-class luxury!" Wen Feng was not polite, he added up and took a small bite, and before he could swallow it, the greasy taste of the moon cake rushed straight in, and Wen Feng couldn't help but retch with disgust.

"Oh, Sister Wen, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Yu Guiren noticed Wen Feng's strange appearance on the side, and couldn't help but scream.

"Quick, hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctor!" Luo Zixiao shouted anxiously. The commotion below also alarmed others, including the emperor and empress, and the emperor and queen also cast concerned glances at them, and everyone waited for the arrival of the imperial doctor.

After a short time, the imperial doctor arrived, and after taking Wen Feng's pulse, he excitedly knelt down at Duan Yulin and shouted: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Wen Guiren has been happy, it has been nearly two months." In this way, she was almost pregnant when Wen Feng went to bed for the first time.

"Good, reward!" Duan Yulin waved his hand and ordered the imperial doctor to retreat to receive the reward, and left the table and walked to Wen Hao's side and happily held her hand: "There has been no new life in the palace for a long time, you are very good." Spread my will, Jin Wen nobles are Wen concubines. Duan Yulin patted Wen Feng's hand and instructed her maid Xia He: "Good life serves your little master, she is pregnant and should not drink, send her back to the palace first, and take care of the fetus." Xia He took the order, picked up Wen Feng and prepared to return to the palace. At this time, the Yu nobles on the side also asked for orders: "Your Majesty, let the concubine accompany Sister Wen back to the palace together, it just so happens that the concubine can also help take care of her sister." On the other side, Li Jingxi also asked to return to the palace early to rest because she was too drunk.

"That's right." Duan Yulin waved his hand, he was obviously in a very good mood, he looked up and smiled at a full moon shining with silver in the sky, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival has a happy ending.
