Qingque came to the west, Chang'e reported to me, and the good time is approaching.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching in a blink of an eye, the whole world celebrates, the curfew is lifted for three days according to the routine, and the capital at this time of the year will become a city that never sleeps, with brilliant lights and tourists.

In order to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and also to clean up the dust for the Hun envoys who came from afar, the prince and the queen jointly held a palace banquet, and the king of Qin was removed from the grounding order, and Gu Qingyi had to accompany him to attend the palace banquet in the evening.

But all palace banquets are long and boring, Gu Qingyi guessed that tonight might be difficult, so he ate a lot of pastries in advance to cushion his stomach, and ate a few candied fruits before dressing up under the service of Han Dong and others.

Because it was a palace banquet, Han Dong chose a new flowing color dark flower cloud brocade palace costume sent by Xiuyun Pavilion, three thousand ink hair was combed into a fragrant bun near Chaoyun, the golden step of the phoenix spreading its wings was inserted into the stacked bun, the hanging tassel swayed in the center of the eyebrows, and a delicate osmanthus petal was revealed between the shaking, exquisite and beautiful, ingenious.

When she painted her thrush and applied Zhu and a little powder, King Qin opened the bead curtain and walked in, he was wearing a dark red python robe today, a jade crown and a bundle of hair, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a dragon and a phoenix, and his majesty was extraordinary.

King Qin's gaze was on Gu Qingyi, and his voice was even deeper than before, "You are not in good health, you can not go to the palace banquet." ”

Gu Qingyi shook his head, "Thank you for your concern, the concubine is not in trouble." ”

Among the noblewomen of the high gate, there are many people who enter the palace with a big belly to make a pilgrimage, and she reveals that the pregnancy month is still shallow, if she does not go to the palace banquet, I am afraid that there will be rumors that she is pampered and arrogant.

Seeing that she insisted, King Qin didn't force it anymore, took the cloak from Han Dong's hand and tied it for her, and naturally took her hand and walked out.

At this time, it is only dusk, even in the house, you can hear the faint noise, and even there are a lot of blessing Kong Ming lanterns floating in the air, these Kong Ming lanterns are colorful, the lights are hazy, and they are very beautiful in the evening glow.

Noticing Gu Qingyi's gaze, King Qin said, "If you like it, you can go to the night market tomorrow night." ”

Gu Qingyi couldn't resist the temptation to respond, she was a girl who had not been out of the pavilion before, and she had never been to night markets such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and Shangyuan Festival, but she had heard about it from books and maids, and she had been curious for a long time, and now that she had the opportunity, she naturally didn't want to miss it.

Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, ordered more than four officials to participate, the streets are full of rich and splendid carriages and horses, as soon as the frame of the Qin Wangfu appeared, the mansions have avoided it, so even if the street is congested, the frame of the Qin Wangfu still goes all the way, and it arrives at the Suzaku Gate in the blink of an eye.

The Imperial Forest Army at the gate of the palace was King Qin's subordinates, and when they saw King Qin, they all showed excitement, and bowed their heads in unison, but King Qin nodded indifferently, without greeting at all, and took Gu Qingyi's hand and entered the palace gate.

The banquet is set up in the Imperial Garden, Gu Qingyi just walked into the moon gate, a brilliant lighthouse came into view, the lighthouse is eighteen stories high, the eaves of each layer of the tower are hung with exquisite and gorgeous palace lanterns, different from the people's paper lanterns, hanging on the octagonal glazed palace lamp, the brocade tassels fluttering, the lights illuminate the color of the lamp, there are dragons and phoenixes Chengxiang, neon clothes and feathers, Chang'e running to the moon, Wu Gang cutting Gui, jade rabbit pounding medicine...... Jinse is luxurious, and it is very gorgeous. In addition, on the branches of the Imperial Garden and between the eaves of the pavilions, lanterns of different shapes are hung, and the lights are brilliant for a while, as bright as day.

At this time, the banquet had not yet begun, and the hundreds of officials who arrived in advance were scattered everywhere to enjoy the lanterns, and even talented civil officials were very happy with their poems, chanting a poem, which aroused the applause of the whole house. Gu Qingyi walked to the nearest tree to take a look, and found that there were still lantern riddles hanging on these lanterns, and many idle officials wandered around the garden, guessing the lantern riddles one after another, but they wasted time.

The arrival of King Qin and Gu Qingyi attracted the attention of many people, except for the highly respected ministers and royal elders, the rest of them saluted, King Qin had always been cold, just nodded lightly, and carried Gu Qingyi into the table. The seats were set up in columns, and the seats of King Qin and Gu Qingyi were arranged in the second place in the east, and the rest were the princes and princesses and civil and military officials.

The first one was empty, and even the prince and the Xiongnu envoys were nowhere to be seen, and I don't know what their scene was. Even if the main owner didn't come, melons and fruits were already prepared on the table, including plump and round grapes, mooncakes printed with the pattern of the Moon Palace, and golden citrus ......

Gu Qingyi had just eaten a few pieces of dim sum, which would make him feel a little thirsty, and his eyes glanced at the plate containing the fruit several times, which provoked King Qin to look over, and he asked, "The princess wants to eat?" ”

Gu Qingyi's face turned red, and she hurriedly shook her head, "No." ”

However, King Qin ignored her rebuttal at all, and directly picked up a citrus and began to peel it, Gu Qingyi hurriedly said, "Why should the prince do it himself, let the palace maid come." ”

She had a little cleanliness and was unwilling to peel her skin and get her hands dirty, so she didn't eat grapes and oranges.

"It doesn't matter."

The palace maid who was waiting next to her was so frightened that she almost cried, and only after hearing King Qin's answer did she settle down a little, but even so, she still knelt on the side of the table and picked an orange and peeled it.

King Qin ignored the palace maid, and after picking out the white silk of the citrus, he broke off a petal and sent it to Gu Qingyi's mouth, "Taste it." ”

The flush on Gu Qingyi's face did not dissipate, but had a tendency to deepen, she secretly glanced around, and found that they didn't seem to pay attention here, so she finally opened her mouth to take a bite, and the next moment, her whole face wrinkled, "Sour." ”

She hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, spit out the half of the orange she had eaten in her mouth, and hurriedly took a sip of tea to suppress the sour taste in her mouth. Seeing that King Qin was still holding her leftover orange petals in his hand, he hurriedly handed over the porcelain plate, "Lord Wang, throw it away." ”

King Qin glanced at Gu Qingyi, put the remaining orange petals into her mouth in her stunned, and chewed a few mouthfuls with an expressionless face, "It's sour." ”

Gu Qingyi: "......"

Isn't she obvious enough? When did King Qin's curiosity rise enough to eat what she had left?

At this moment, someone said enviously, "The relationship between the royal brother and the imperial sister-in-law is really good." ”

Gu Qingyi froze, looked back, and found that it was King Qi at the next table who spoke. King Qi has not yet reached the crown, his handsome face is still a little green and shy, he is not afraid of King Qin like others, but with intimacy and reverence in his eyes, he looks like a little brother.

Worshippers are right in whatever they do. It was precisely because of this that he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with King Qin and Gu Qingyi eating oranges together, but felt that their relationship was good.

Gu Qingyi felt embarrassed, and was not knowing how to answer, the whip that sounded saved her, and only listened to the announcement of the inner servant, "Your Majesty has arrived!" The Queen Mother has arrived! ”

Everyone knelt down to greet them, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”

Emperor Zhaoming took the queen's concubines and sat down on the top, "Zhongqing is flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Qingyi was supported by the palace maid and sat back in her position, and found that the chief of the opposite side was sitting with the Hun envoy, but she did not see the Hun princess. And the chief of the column she was in was the crown prince and the crown princess, who had already taken their seats, and when they noticed her gaze, they all looked at her, and the expression on their faces was not friendly, and even a little malicient.

King Qin turned sideways to block their sight, and also looked at the couple, the prince smiled slightly, and took the lead in retracting his gaze, but his smile was indescribably proud and rampant.

He thought he had calculated King Qin, and he said that he had been in a good mood for the past half a month. Seeing this, King Qin didn't think it was a pestle, and his slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a sharp edge that no one could see.

Each had their own thoughts during the banquet, and Emperor Zhaoming, who was seated, had already begun to speak, "...... It is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I celebrate with all the people. coincided with the Hun envoys coming from afar, and good things came in pairs, which was really a grand event. Ladies and gentlemen, drink this cup with me. ”

Everyone hurriedly got up and respectfully toasted and drank, Gu Qingyi didn't dare to drink more, just took a sip slightly, and the mellow osmanthus wine slid into his throat, and the whole person became smoky.

My cousin's body is so shallow.

"The princess is drunk?"

Gu Qingyi shook his head, and while listening to the praise of the ministers, he said, "No, just take it slowly." ”

King Qin didn't ask any more, but just glanced at her from time to time, which made Gu Qingyi sit more straight, if he got drunk after a little wine, it would be really ridiculous and generous.
