The stars tonight are particularly bright. In the wing room of the Qingluan Courtyard, on the bed with fluttering curtains, a woman with a beautiful sleeping face fell asleep.

The majestic green hills are undulating, the gurgling streams sing melodiously, the old trees in the forest are intertwined, and the leaves are lush, showing an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

The mountain road is rugged, and as the altitude increases, it soon starts to rain. Qianying, who walked alone to the mountain road, was drenched in soup and found a stone cave to hide from the rain.

In the cave, the cobwebs are dark and dusty, and it looks dirty. The beautiful woman sighed, "Well, if only there was a place to sit." ”

As soon as the words fell, many insects suddenly crawled out of the cracks in the stones, and the girl exclaimed in fright, "Ah? ”

These insects crawled out densely, but they bypassed the girl's feet, swept on the ground, and swept on the stone wall, and in an instant the stone cave became spotless.

The girl looked at the clear stone cave and was dumbfounded.

"Strange, these animals can understand me?" The girl's eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she smiled.

In order to prove that her guess was true, the girl said, "Who can tell me what kind of place this is?" ”

A parrot flew in and landed on the maiden's hand. It looked at the girl and suddenly said a few words, "Under the stone...... ...... under the stones"

The girl frowned, not understanding what the parrot meant, and what was under the stone.

The parrot flew up from her hand and landed on a large round boulder. Still shouting to the girl, "Under the stones...... ...... under the stones"

The girl stared at the stone, thinking that there must be something underneath it. But the stone was so big, how could she pry it open and take a look.

Suddenly, I saw a puff of smoke coming out of the dark cave in front of me, and the thick slowly faded away, revealing a female ghost with a blue face and fangs and messy hair.

The girl was so frightened that she ran out of the cave, and it was still raining outside, and the girl ran for a long time before she calmed down.

But when she calmed down, she found that her clothes were dry. She was suspicious in her heart, obviously she had been running in the rain, this Luo skirt was unreasonable and not soaked?

What's going on here? She looked up at the sky, the sun was out, could it be that it had dried out again just now?

Then the parrot in the cave flew over again, and in front of her the words were still saying, "Under the stones...... ...... under the stones"

After hesitating for half an hour, the girl returned to the cave again, but saw that the cobblestone had been removed. The blue-faced female ghost was gone, and she really wondered if she had been dazzled just now.

Just as she was about to find a tool to dig over what was in the soil under the cobblestone, someone suddenly called out to her outside the cave, "Remember, wake up, remember......"

She woke up suddenly, and Jian Xiu was staring at her nervously with a big face, and he was caressing her forehead.

She was covered in sweat.

"You're having nightmares, memories." He whispered with concern.

After calming down, she realized that she had just had a dream, but the dream was so real. So, what is it?

The sun was shining through the window, and it was getting late.

Jian Xiu said softly again, "It's not early, let's go back to the house after freshening up, today is the reunion festival." ”

Reunion Festival? Liu Piaoyi woke up to the full moon festival, the day of the full moon.

(The Mid-Autumn Festival was held in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty court was happy to eat crabs.) After the crab is steamed in a pampton, everyone sits around and tastes it, accompanied by wine vinegar. Drink Suye soup after eating and wash your hands with it. During the banquet table area, flowers, pomegranates and other seasonal fresh products are placed to perform the mythical opera of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Put a screen to the east in a certain courtyard, and put cockscombs, edamame, taro, peanuts, radish, and fresh lotus root on both sides of the screen. In front of the screen, there is a table of eight immortals, on which is placed an extra-large moon cake, surrounded by pastries and melons and fruits. After the moon festival, the moon cake is cut into several pieces according to the royal population, and each person tastes a mouthful symbolically, which is called "eating reunion cake")

Xiangfuri.

The people all hung lanterns and filled the whole house with colorful flowers and plants. The kitchen was busy with the dishes from the family dinner, and each room was tidying up its own room.

Zixuan Pavilion, Chunlin looked at the clothes in the closet, took out a Luo skirt of a white gauze and red dress that was more festive and brought it to Miss Liu, and said with a smile, "Miss, is it good to wear this today?" ”

Miss Liu had a melancholy between her eyebrows, glanced at the dress in Chunlin's hand and said indifferently, "Whatever." ”

She doesn't care what she wears.

It was supposed to be a happy day, but she was still thinking about Runzeyu in her heart, thinking about his words, what would happen to that person today?

On the night of the full moon, if it is true as he said, that person needs to absorb the spirit of blood Ruyi tonight. But now it can't, so will his body hurt?

It was useless to think too much, she didn't think about it anymore.

"Freshen up." She came back to her senses and instructed Chunlin.

Palace

Emperor Zhu Yijun was sitting in the study, concentrating on painting the portrait of Liu Piaoyi at the moment. Every time I put down the pen, I depicted her eyebrows and eyes, and for some reason, there were some strange feelings surging in my heart.

When he put down his pen, he looked at Miss Liu in the painting and frowned again.

He actually painted Miss Liu so maturely and steadily. His eyes were full of kindness, as if he ...... Someone who exudes the glow of motherhood?

The emperor tore off the portrait in his hand, and he didn't think it was like it. There was often an incomprehensible cold light in the woman's eyes.

"Miss Liu is okay in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" The emperor picked up the teacup and stared at the attendant in front of him with blazing eyes, but he seemed to ask casually.

Yu Yue replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, you have already asked twice today. ”

"Oh, is it? Have you asked? Zhu Yijun smiled unnaturally, and once again casually ordered, "Let the imperial dining room prepare some pastries and send them to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you go and deliver them in person, and I will reward them." ”

Yu Yue nodded and replied, "Okay, the minion will go." ”

～～～～

Xiangfu, when Miss Liu went to the hall, she saw the third young grandmother Xia Shuimeng asking the maid to help her go to the hall.

Today, all the rooms get together for dinner, so naturally they all have to go, and Xia Shuimeng is pregnant and does not leave behind this regular meal.

Coming back from Yangzhou, Miss Liu has not seen Xia Shuimeng, this time we met for the first time, naturally as a senior, she couldn't take it as if she hadn't seen it, and she gave a faint blessing forward.

Xia Shuimeng just smiled indifferently at her salute, not wanting to pay too much attention to it.

Miss Liu wanted to help her out of kindness, but Xia Shuimeng shook her hand, "No need, Xiangling can help me." ”

The faint smile on her lips, Liu Piaoyi could see that it was not sincere.

The corners of Chunlin's mouth behind Miss Liu tugged slightly, feeling extremely uncomfortable, her own young lady kindly helped her, and she even put on a score.

Liu Piaoyi was not displeased because of Xia Shuimeng's coldness, and only moved after the three young grandmothers left.

Chunlin said, "Miss, the third young grandmother and Miss Wan Xiu are relatively close, so naturally they will not be close to Miss, Miss don't take such a person to heart." ”

Miss Liu smiled and reminded in a low voice, "She is the third young grandmother, and as a cousin, even if she doesn't like it, I have to say hello to her out of respect." ”

The red brick wall, the oily black gate, a pair of big lions in front of the door, each with a stone bead in their mouths, their eyes are blazing, lifelike, and vibrant.

There were two people standing not far from the street outside the gate, and the man in brocade in front of him kept staring at the plaque on the gate - the Prime Minister's Mansion. Beside the man stood a young escort respectfully.

At this time, the guard said, "Is the prince going in to visit Xiangguo?" ”

Mo Maoli's gaze kept falling on the gate, and his tone was low, "This prince came to Beijing this time, but he was not summoned to Beijing, how could he go to see the important ministers of the court at will, if people saw it, they would think that the Duke of Qianguo was attracting important ministers of the court." This son is not confused. ”

This guard once handled Yue Feng's accomplices in Luoding Prefecture with Mo Maoli and captured Xue Qin and others. Knowing that the prince is here just for that Miss Liu.

"Then the prince of the world is missing Miss Liu?" The guard asked softly.

Mo Maoli hooked his mouth and smiled, "Today is the reunion festival, every family is celebrating the festival, and there are more people who go to see this son at this time, let's talk about it after today." ”

Oh, the guards get it.

Mo Maoli took a deep look again, turned around and left without any nostalgia.

The main hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a dining room, and the utensils are all made of warm white jade. The tables and chairs of warm white jade, the coffee table of warm white jade, and even the bead curtains of the windows are made of warm white jade

The pearl is round and jade, transparent and full.

In particular, the large round table placed in the center, without any traces of splicing, is made of a whole piece of warm jade. It is integrated with the ground that is also paved with warm white jade, as if you have stepped into the world of white jade carving.

In this flower hall dining room, Liu Piaoyi has been here twice, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion for the first time a year ago, and the family banquet in the house is here.

On weekdays, each room eats in its own courtyard, and rarely gets together to eat, except for big days, or when the master has something to announce will eat at this big table.

Today's reunion festival, the day of family reunion, is going to meet again in this luxurious room.

When Miss Liu came to the beaded curtain of warm white jade, the servant woman in the house politely opened the curtain and let her in.

The house was already full of family members, and as soon as she walked in, the eldest lady beckoned to her, "Yi'er, come, sit next to my aunt." ”

Miss Liu glanced at everyone and walked towards the eldest lady with a light smile on her face.

When passing by the coffee table on the side, Yun Xiu sat on the chair and raised his eyes to look at her, and smiled gently.

Miss Liu just glanced at him, walked directly to the eldest lady, and sat down beside her.

The family banquet has not yet begun, and the dishes on the table of warm white jade have not yet been served, and the people in the house are serving up one plate at a time.

Next to her sat the second lady Wang, the third lady Shen, the eldest young grandmother Mei Xinyue, the second young grandmother Wang Yujie, the third young grandmother Xia Shuimeng, and finally Wan Xiu. And over there, the eldest young master cultivates, and the second young master cultivates.

The fifth young master Yun Xiu had not yet taken his seat, and was sitting at the coffee table playing chess with the third young master Min Xiu.

When the dish was almost finished, at the curtain, the servant woman rose to greet Jian Xiu and Xiangye.

The two of them had only arrived at this time, and it seemed that they had gone to discuss the affairs of the court in the study.

One is the head of the court, and the other is the commander of the Jinyi guard, in this prime minister's mansion, these two people are the most respected in the court, and their families are also the most respectful.

Jian Xiu sat down beside Xiangye, elegantly picked up the white jade teacup on the table, took a shallow sip, and looked at Miss Liu with phoenix eyes slightly.

Miss Liu unconsciously looked at him, looking at his staring eyes, with a gentle smile in those eyes, and joy in that smile.

It's a holiday today, so is he happy?

She retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes, and remembered that she was confused by him in Qingluan's courtyard last night, and after approaching him, she let him kiss down. At this time, she blushed when she thought of this.

When did her heart change? Did she forget Brother Ayan, can Brother Ayan under Jiuquan forgive her?

Miss Wan Xiu was full of disdain for this Miss Table, and glanced at Miss Liu, her eyes seemed to be sarcastic.

After retracting his gaze, Wan Xiu set his gaze on the stomach of the third young grandmother, Xia Shuimeng.

My sister-in-law's child is four months old, is it an adult, Wan Xiu thought.
