The Son of Heaven is the sun in spring, and the moon is in autumn. The founding emperor of Dayue originally prayed for blessings and celebrated a good harvest, so he worshiped the moon and worshiped the moon on August 15. Later emperors followed suit, and these customs have been handed down.

Since then, the Mid-Autumn Festival is no longer the exclusive festival of the Dayue Emperor's relatives and nobles, but a festival that can be celebrated with the people and the whole world.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is when the golden breeze is refreshing and the jade dew is cool. It is also the day when the fragrance of osmanthus is floating and the silver toad is full of light, which can be described as the right time and place. On this day, the rich families of Dayue either climbed the dangerous building, played the moon in Linxuan, or opened the Guangxie, the tortoise feast was listed, or the piano was sonorous, drinking wine and singing. The house of the mat is to go to the moon, arrange family banquets, and gather children to reward the festival. The people in the poor alleys are also the wine of the agricultural market, and the joy is not wasted. On this night, the sound of selling on the street was endless, and Miss Childe could take a little break away from etiquette and go to the street to play until the five drums. Playing with the moon tourists, mother-in-law in the city, to burn endlessly.

The people are very lively and celebrate reunion. The Dayue royal family also held a feast in the palace on this day to entertain the royal family and nobles, officials and wives.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet because the queen mother will also attend, in order to have a good time, the queen proposed to the emperor to let the concubines show their talents, in order to help the palace banquet. After hearing this, the emperor felt that it was quite innovative, and it was possible to dispense with the usual and tasteless singing and dancing performances of previous years, so he agreed to the queen's proposal. After the empress got the emperor's permission, she immediately conveyed the matter to the palace concubines.

This is a great opportunity to show yourself in front of the Emperor! If the performance is good and the emperor favors him, then the grace and reward will be endless. What's more, the Queen Mother, who has always been recuperating in the Kangning Palace, will also attend this time. As soon as the harem concubines heard the news, they immediately couldn't sit still, racking their brains to think about what program to perform and how to dress up.

After hearing the news, Han Yue and Liu Yuanzhi had different ideas from others, if they were too prominent at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, they would inevitably attract envy, so why should they bother to find themselves unhappy. Besides, the Queen Mother and her old man will also attend the palace banquet this time, and the Queen Mother is traditional and cautious and old, and she will definitely not like those enchanting and charming things.

Liu Yuanzhi and Han Yue discussed it for this good student, and finally decided to play a decent song "The Preface to the Ni Dress", which can not make mistakes and can meet the situation. After finalizing it, Han Yue went to Fengluan Palace and reported the program that Liu Yuanzhi was going to perform this time.

The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was arranged to be held in the square pot hall by the Taiye Pond, and the name of the hall "square pot" was taken from the name of the legendary fairy mountain. The square pot hall is covered with black glazed tiles, and the green glazed tiles are trimmed, the color is deep and elegant, and it contains the black main water in the five elements, which has the intention of overcoming fire with water. The pillars and pillars of the main hall are all made of jade, and the carved railings on the four sides are made of jade, which shines through.

Therefore, there are both dances and music in the program performed by the concubines, so the queen specially opened the Qionghua Pavilion not far from the square pot hall for the concubines to place musical instruments and change clothes.

There were many concubines who arrived at Qionghua Pavilion early, all dressed up in fancy clothes, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to attract the emperor's attention later. Seeing that the son was settled, he took him to the Fanghu Hall with a smile.

When Han Yue and Zi Mo accompanied Liu Yuanzhi to arrive, they just passed by these concubines, and the thick aroma of fat powder on their faces caused Han Yue and several people to cough for a while.

"Sister Liu, you are here." Qu Zhixu greeted Liu Yuanzhi affectionately when he saw him.

"I'm still telling Zhixu that you've already gone to the Fanghu Palace." Ruan Mingting also came around.

Liu Yuanzhi heard the words and replied, "I practiced the piano a little late last night, and I felt a little sleepy in the afternoon, so I squinted on the couch for a while, but I didn't expect this squint to fall asleep, but fortunately, I was still in time." ”

"Sister, don't worry, I see it's going to be a while before I leave the table. It's my impatience, and I came early. Ruan Mingting said with a grin, she looked at the guqin in Zi Mo's hand, and continued, "Sister's piano skills are very good, I will be able to feast my ears later." ”

Liu Yuanzhi smiled, "It's strange to be poor." ”

Zi Mo held the qin, looked around in the Qionghua Pavilion for a week, and finally picked up an empty platform with his back against the wall, and put the guqin on it.

Seeing that Zi Mo had settled down the qin, Qu Zhixu said, "Sister Liu, it's still early, why don't we go for a walk by the Taiye Pool first?" ”

Liu Yuanzhi thought for a moment and replied, "It's okay." The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and Qu Zhixu and Ruan Mingting took Liu Yuanzhi left and right.

"Yue'er, why don't you leave?" Liu Yuanzhi saw that Hanyue didn't follow, so she asked.

Han Yue looked at the Qionghua Pavilion, for some reason, there was always a faint uneasiness in her heart, so she said, "The slave maid is a little worried, the slave maid is watching the piano here." The little master will go with the little master Xu and the little master of Mingting. ”

Liu Yuanzhi felt that Hanyue seemed to be a little too cautious, and the instruments placed in the Qionghua Pavilion were all the instruments that the concubines would use to perform later, what else could happen? Then he was relieved, "It's just a piano, see what it does, you can go with us." ”

Zi Mo knew Han Yue's thoughts, so he volunteered at this time, "Little master, let the slave and maid stay, anyway, the slave and maid are clumsy, and they can't enjoy any beautiful scenery, so it's better to stay here." ”

Liu Yuanzhi saw that Hanyue was hesitant, and heard Zi Mo say this, so she agreed. Zi Mo nodded at Han Yue, signaling to reassure her. Seeing this, Han Yue followed Liu Yuanzhi and the others out of Qionghua Pavilion with peace of mind.

Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is bright and the wind is clear. From a distance, the blue waves of the Taiye Pool are rippling, and the flowers are bright and the water is shadowy. The contrast between the expansive water surface and the clear moonlight creates an extremely ethereal artistic conception.

Liu Yuanzhi and the others had been walking for a while, and Zi Mo was bored alone in the huge Qionghua Pavilion, she was pacing back and forth in the pavilion, looking east and west, passing the time.

"This pipa is so good-looking, hey, no, no, this doesn't seem to be a pipa, Miss told me, this is called, what is this called?" Zi Mo stared at the object in front of her and muttered to herself, she pondered for a long time, and finally suddenly said, "Ruan! Yes, yes, yes, this is called Nguyen! ”

Zi Mo was happy that he had come up with the name of this instrument, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps behind him, followed by the hurried voice of a little palace maid, "Zi Mo girl? Are you a Zimo girl? ”

Hearing this, Zi Mo turned around and replied with some confusion, "I am." What's wrong? ”

The little palace maid looked anxious and said very nervously, "Miss Zimo, go to the Taiye Pool and take a look, Liu Cairen just fell, it seems that the fall is not light!" Miss Yue'er sent me to you to help. ”

"Huh? What the! Zi Mo was shocked when he heard this. Liu Yuanzhi fell? That's no joke. Cold Moon must be in a hurry now. She thought so in her heart, and her heart became nervous, "Where are Liu Cairen?" ”

The little palace maid was stunned for a moment, then pointed behind her, "It's not far from there, you can see it when you walk over." ”

"Okay, thank you." Zi Mo said as he hurriedly ran towards the place pointed by the little palace maid.

Zi Mo was full of strength, and ran to the place where the little palace maid pointed out in one breath, and after she arrived, she looked around left and right, but she didn't see Hanyue and a few people. This toss, she was really tired, it can be said that she was out of breath, she put her hands on her waist, panting heavily.

happened to be greeted by a pink-clothed palace maid, Zi Mo stepped forward, stopped her and asked, "This sister, do you know where the Liu Cairen who fell here just now have gone?" ”

The pink-clothed palace maid looked at Zi Mo with strange eyes, and then said, "Nothing happened here just now." After she finished speaking, she didn't care about Zi Mo's reaction, and hurriedly left with the tray.

"Am I mistaken? Not here? Zi Mo scratched his head and muttered to himself. She looked up at the front, then looked all the way ahead. Finally, I saw Hanyue and the others on the edge of Xiangyuan Bridge.

Zi Mo hurriedly ran up and asked anxiously, "Little master, are you okay?" A little palace maid just said to the slave maid that you fell, and the fall was not light. What a frightening slave! ”

Liu Yuanzhi and the others were confused by her words, and looked at each other, "I fell?" Do you think I'm not good? I'm admiring the moon here with Zhixu and Mingting. ”

Zi Mo looked at Liu Yuanzhi safe and sound, and was also confused, "Hey? Then why did that little palace maid ...... just now?"

Before Zi Mo's words were finished, Han Yue's expression suddenly changed, and she said secretly, "It's not good!" After she finished speaking, she pulled her legs and rushed towards Qionghua Pavilion. When everyone saw Hanyue like this, they knew that something must have happened, so they all rushed over.

When everyone arrived at Qionghua Pavilion, they saw Han Yue holding a piano that had been broken into two.

"This ......" Qu Zhixu looked at the broken qin, his face full of surprise.

"What a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" Hanyue said coldly, her expression a little dim in the light of the candlelight.

By now, everyone had come back to their senses and understood what had happened. All the musical instruments in Qionghua Pavilion are in good condition, but Liu Yuanzhi's piano is broken, which shows that this matter is directed at Liu Yuanzhi.

Seeing this, Zi Mo was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The slave and maid should be damned, it is the slave and the maid who are stupid and deceived by others, and the slave and maid are not optimistic about the little master's qin, and the slave and maid should die." She said, with a hint of tears in her tone. The heart is good now, without the piano, how should Liu Yuanzhi perform?

"It's not your fault." Ruan Mingting on the side said hatefully, "If someone has the intention to deceive you, there are thousands of ways, and you only hate that person for taking advantage of your loyalty!" ”

"Ming Ting is right, how can this be blamed on you." Liu Yuanzhi helped Zi Mo up as she spoke, but there was no lack of worry on her face.

"Zi Mo, do you remember what that little palace maid looks like?" Hanyue asked with a serious expression.

Zi Mo thought hard about it and replied, "She looks very ordinary, and I didn't care much about it when I was in a hurry. ”

Hearing this, Han Yue frowned tightly. It seems that the other party is really well-intentioned, and even the little palace maid who reported the news specially chose someone who has no memory points. In this way, it is difficult for them to even know who harmed them.

"What's going to be done now?" Qu Zhixu looked at Liu Yuanzhi and asked anxiously.

"The slave and maid went to the prince and asked to see if there was any extra piano in this palace that could be borrowed." After Hanyue finished speaking, she ran away in small steps. Liu Yuanzhi and the others waited for the news of the cold moon in the Qionghua Pavilion.

Today's royal banquet, the prince was very busy as the chief attendant, "Hey, hey, hey, you little rabbit, be careful for me, don't drop this wine jug for me!" Let's get a little bit, and the banquet is about to begin! ”

Han Yue looked for a while, and finally heard the voice of the princess, she looked happy, lifted the hem of her skirt, and hurriedly ran over, "Princess." ”

"Yo, why is Miss Yue'er here?" The prince asked.

"Princess, the slave and maid have something to ask. May I ask my father-in-law, there is still an idle piano in the palace now, and the slave wants to borrow one. Cold Moon said.

Wang Gonggong thought for a while and said, "It's really a coincidence, if there were in the past, but a few days ago, Yuefu was overhauled, and these pianos were also taken out and repaired together." ”

When Han Yue heard this, his heart sank, now it is probably impossible to borrow the piano, but if Liu Yuanzhi is asked to change the way of playing, and then let the court musicians accompany him, he can also get through the trick. Thinking of this, Hanyue continued to ask, "Then can the father-in-law ask the musicians to accompany Liu Cairen with a song?" ”

When the prince heard this, his face was a little embarrassed, "What kind of music the court musicians play is set for the emperor and the queen's mother, and now if you want to add a new song temporarily, I am afraid it will be a little difficult......"

After listening to the words of the princess, Han Yue's heart was already half cold, and she knew that it was useless for her to pester the princess any longer, so she said, "The father-in-law is so busy, the slave and maid are disturbing the father-in-law." ”

"Don't tight, don't tight." The prince replied kindly. Then Han Yue blessed her body and rushed back to Qionghua Pavilion.
