Chapter 237: Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet (10)

"I have heard all the poems that the princess has just recited, so I don't need to be too humble, I know it in my heart," Chen Tingjing said

He had already seen that Huai Sleeve deliberately gave way to Yan Bingzhi, but at this time he had a private chat with her, but seeing that she did not have a trace of arrogance, but instead bowed to himself, every sentence was humble and sincere, Chen Tingjing couldn't help but sigh, just such a mind, Yan Bingzhi has been defeated, and he is still competing with others, what poetry and literati have their own understandings after all, after all, the little girl in front of her is still young, but she is quite knowledgeable, which is really rare

Chen Tingjing thought about it, but he didn't feel that he was born as a daughter, if he was a man, he would be accepted under the door, and he might become a generation of grandmasters one day

At this time, Jian Yue brought a cloak with sleeves, and saw that there were more than this old minister with a white face and a kind face, wearing a crane mending uniform, and knowing that this person's official position was not small, and after giving a salute, he walked behind his sleeves and put a cloak on him

"The weather is cold, the princess should take care of her body," Chen Tingjing said with a smile, and said goodbye to Chen Tingjing in the hall

As soon as I arrived at the Danqi, I saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs surrounded by the crown prince Yinren and walked out of it, it turned out that Yinren was still young and needed to go to bed early

Huai Sleeve hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted to send Yinren off, but Yinren didn't look at her, and didn't even say anything about being exempt, and led a group of eunuchs and palace maids down the steps

When a cadre walked over, Huai Sleeve stood up and looked back at the prince's honor guard, only to see that the prince was still followed by the fierce guard, and the moment he was walking towards him just now, Huai Sleeve had already recognized that person, just because of his cold gaze, it was difficult to forget since Di Yuxuan saw it

"Girl, the prince is far away, let's go in," Jian Yue saw that she was looking in the direction where the prince was going, and reminded in a low voice

"Hmm," Huai Sleeve replied lightly, and walked into the hall with a lowered face from Jian Yue

I don't know why the appearance of the guard always lingers in my heart...... Huai Sleeve suddenly remembered the man in black who appeared in his eaves that night, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and a cold air came up his back

The eunuch in front of the palace took out a huge fireworks tube and placed it in several rows, just waiting for Kangxi to finish the banquet, all of them were lit up in an instant, and the fire tree and silver flowers were just like the clouds in Song Qi's poems: fireworks and made the sun and moon of Changchun Kingdom, and the sky never sleeped

"Where has Master gone, I'm afraid you won't be able to watch the fireworks in time," the crescent moon saw Huai Sleeve come back, grabbed Huai Sleeve's arm, smiled and walked out

At this time, there were already a lot of lively people crowding out of the palace gate, and Huai Sleeve saw a figure rushing out of the door in a hurry, and took a closer look at who else could it be besides Chang Ning

I saw Chang Ning running away from everyone and shouting loudly: "Wait, don't light the fire, the prince will come and light the fireworks himself......"

The crescent moon clapped her hands and smiled: "Haha, my sixth uncle's monkey sex has been committed again" Huai Sleeve also smiled lightly, but he was very envious of Chang Ning for living so casually and freely

"Stand back for a while, watch out for the sparks that burst on the skirt and burn it"

Huai Sleeve was being led forward by the crescent moon, and suddenly heard a deep and gentle voice behind him, and looked back at Kangxi, who was close to Nalan Rongruo

Kangxi was still looking at her gently, as before, and knew that Rong Ruo must also be looking at her, but she didn't dare to cross Kangxi to meet Rong Ruo's deep eyes at this time, so she had to bow her head deeply

However, she herself didn't know that the more reserved and introverted she was, the more she aroused the impulse of men to love and care, Kangxi couldn't help but feel at ease every time she saw her like this, and immediately issued an edict to hide her in her harem and protect her

When the fireworks fell, the moon and evening banquet also tended to end, and after the banquet was dispersed, he rode in a soft sedan chair with his sleeves in his arms, and returned to the inner palace by the same way as the shoulder of Xiaozhuang and the Xuan car of Su Malagu and the crescent moon

And the ministers of the previous dynasty have not yet been able to go back to the house, they still need to accompany Kangxi to the moon altar to worship the moon god, once they come and go, they need to toss until the second half of the night, the next morning, they need to be early, the ministers return from the moon sacrifice, only in the front of the court to rest a little, even Kangxi is only in a hurry in the middle and the hall to raise a little eye, a recuperation, will come to the Taihe Palace, the early court

***

"Outside the flower curtain, with a note, the rain falls in front of the window, and the dream is cold", it is really an autumn rain and a cold

Looking up at the overcast sky, the thick clouds pressed low against the eaves, and his eyes fell on the row of crystal clear and crumbling raindrops on the edge of the eaves

The cool and wet breeze slipped into the room along the panes, blowing a chill on my body, and I couldn't help but murmur in my cuffs

Since the crescent moon at the banquet, I don't know what I ate by mistake, the next day I vomited and diarrhea, and my spirit was listless, and the doctor said that it was gastrointestinal stagnation and spleen deficiency

Huai sleeve stopped for a few days of morning class, so that the crescent moon is good to recuperate the body, it just happened that these days of rain and rain, so I was idle all day long in the room, or reading or practicing calligraphy, occasionally interested, playing with the piano for a while, painting some ink and blue, the days are also leisurely

"Ring, ring, ring, ring, ......" came from outside the door, and a few bells rang out, and the sleeves didn't think about it at first, thinking that it must be because Pian Bi was busy with other things, and forgot to feed the eyebrows painted in the cage under the porch, and the birds were jumping impatiently again

Feeling that his eyes were slightly sour, he got up and walked around the desk to the door to see the thrush

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard a few bells ringing "bell ......" under my feet, and I looked down with my sleeves and saw a small round snowball slowly rolling over, and it turned out that the Pekingese dog who didn't know who it was ran into the courtyard

Huai Sleeve leaned down and reached out to gently stroke the snow-white long fluff, and a few strands of fur were wet by the rain and stuck to the dog's body

Huai Sleeve stretched out his hand to brush away the long hair on its neck, and saw that there was a delicate red rope under it, and a round and bright silver bell fell under its neck, and the voice just now was made by this little guy

The dog is accustomed to being close to people, and when he sees the sleeve touching, he takes the initiative to get close to the past, stretches out his pink little tongue, and gently licks the fingers of the sleeve, and the warm and moist feeling rolls down on the fingertips

A burst of joy rose in Huai Sleeve's heart, his fingers scratched lightly on its back, and he whispered in his mouth: "You are still running around on a rainy day, you must have lost your way, looking for your master, and came to me."

As soon as the words fell, I heard the voice of a woman calling softly from the door

"Silver Bell, Silver Bell......" The dog heard the sound and ran away from his sleeve and towards the door

Huai Sleeve raised his eyes and looked at the main entrance, and saw a woman holding a bamboo-blue oil-paper umbrella standing in front of the door, the dog ran towards the woman, happily circling around the woman's side a few times

The woman walked to the door, stopped, raised her face to look at the plaque above the main entrance, and muttered, "Qingzhitang......"
