Chapter 17: The Full Moon
Except for Suining's side, all the ladies were also lively, and when they saw that the son's team won, they were not too annoyed. What's more, there is also the princess Ningde, who has always loved to play rounds, sitting in the battle.
At this time, Zhu Mingsi smiled and proposed whether to go to see other competitions, but unfortunately except for some ladies, everyone was not very interested, so he had to take the group of ladies to say goodbye with a smile.
When Zhu Changxun took Li Muyuan and a group of people to bid farewell to the emperor and went out of the racecourse to sit down in the pavilion, he asked calmly: "Does your shoulder still hurt?" ”
Seeing Li Muyuan rubbing her shoulders, she shook her head and said, "It's not too painful, I think it's fine." ”
Zhao Genshu didn't care if he was shy or not at this time, he jumped out and hurriedly said: "That's not good, that woman kicked so hard, there must be something!" Lord, what kind of gold sore medicine do you want to give her when you take Xiao Yueyue back to the palace, safflower cream, in case this little prince forgets, wouldn't it make Xiao Yueyue want to leave a scar? ! How many more days is it going to hurt?! ”
Sheng Bo was about to pat his hand at this time, only to hear Li Muyuan ask suspiciously, "What Xiao Yueyue?" ”
Being asked like this, Zhao Genshu only felt that his face suddenly became hot and warmed up, and he couldn't spit out a word for a long time. Sheng Bo felt that his stupid son had some crooked thoughts.
It's a pity that Li Muyuan didn't understand why Zhao Genshu suddenly blushed, after all, Zhao Genji's thinking span was too large, and ordinary people really couldn't think of why.
"Miss Li, don't take it to heart, my son, he-he-he is like this sometimes, and suddenly he is stupid, it's normal, it's normal hahaha..." Sheng Bo didn't know what to say for his son, so he also explained embarrassedly.
Zhu Changxun saw that the father and son were smiling and touching their heads, and the other was flushed and wanted to flee in a panic.
How helplessly, Sheng Bo firmly pulled his collar with his other hand, obviously having already seen his son's next move.
The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and even a smile appeared in his eyes.
Li Muyuan asked, "Tonight is the highlight of the August meeting, right?" ”
He snorted, and no longer looked at the pair of living treasures, but turned his gaze to Li Muyuan.
"Tonight, it is the time when Lang has a concubine, and when the time comes, under the fireworks in the small pavilion, there must be news of the marriage from a few families." He said calmly, as if he were explaining the matter to her, as if he had said it to her on purpose.
After everyone had eaten, the sky began to darken. Young boys and girls are looking forward to the night coming soon, and even some of them can't wait to say goodbye to their parents after eating in a hurry, wanting to find a good place to wait for their sweethearts to arrive early.
The adults also paid attention, they all waved their hands, smiled and quipped in a seemingly disgusted tone: "This kid is not so active in his studies..."
During the time when everyone was at the banquet, the group had already replaced the facilities in the daytime, and put on many moon-shaped lanterns and many boards full of moon cakes and sweets, which looked very atmospheric.
Soon, the night was already over the whole racecourse, and the lanterns were even brighter. The moon also gradually climbed up from the green tiles of the small pavilion, and it was very round and bright.
The emperor motioned for Wei Jinzhong to lean over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Seeing Wei Jinzhong nodding his head, he beckoned some little palace maids and eunuchs to follow, and quietly walked to Zhang Niangzi's family not far away.
The father of this Baozhu is the Tongzhi of the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army, an official of the same grade, and he is one of the few officials who has always supported the emperor's side.
I saw that Gonggong Wei stepped forward and said a word or two to them, and Zhang Guoji and his wife both looked incredulous, and then a strong joy rushed to their faces, and then they gently pulled out their daughter's treasure bead and motioned her to follow their father-in-law.
This Wei Gonggong saw that Baozhu's body was well-proportioned, and the beautiful eyes on his face were all smiling and affectionate, as early as when she was like a fairy in the daytime, and the emperor's infatuated state that did not turn clear, he had already understood the emperor's motives at this moment.
When the emperor saw that Baozhu had come, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up, and wanted to help Zhang Baozhu, who was just about to salute.
Immediately, the two looked at each other, and Baozhu lowered his eyes quite shyly, his face was slightly red, reflecting the hazy light, which only made the emperor feel that the ten thousand styles were self-evident.
The two came out hand in hand, and Gonggong Wei asked the rest of the palace people to withdraw three or four meters away, so that this group of minions would not disturb the emperor and the beauty enjoying the moon.
And here, Zhu Changxun and Li Muyuan were also standing outside the long pavilion, looking at the men and women not far away from the high steps, speechless for a while.
"Ten rounds of frost shadows turn to the court, and this night is a lonely corner. It may not be that Su'e has no hatred, and the jade toad is cold and lonely. Li Muyuan looked at the moon as big as a silver plate, her heart was slightly sour, and she couldn't help but feel it for a while.
Zhu Changxun looked sideways, seeing her melancholy expression, he must have thought of the joyful atmosphere when the family reunited in previous years.
His heart moved slightly, and he said quietly: "The Mid-Autumn Festival when this king was a child was also spent with his father and mother and concubine. Ever since he was four years old, he has been involved in that incident... When I was seventeen years old, my father asked me to move to Luoyang, with the intention that I would never return to Beijing. ”
Li Muyuan looked at him and looked at each other for a while.
Although she didn't know what Zhu Changxun said about "that incident", she still held back the sourness in her heart and gently comforted him: "Don't worry, the slave will not leave the prince at any time." ”
He was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Li Muyuan's firm and bright eyes at the moment, he smiled sincerely for the first time, and without any worries.
It was a smile as bright as the scorching sun, as if all the good things in this world were secretly lost in his smile, so that in Li Muyuan's heart, it was scalded with an indelible imprint.
……
Sheng Bo and Zhao Genshu were eating moon cakes on the board at the moment, and suddenly Zhao Genshu looked at the gazebo, as if he had found something, and was busy with a few moon cakes of various flavors in his hands, and chased towards the pavilion.
Sheng Bo grabbed him and asked, "Where to go stinky boy!" Your father and I haven't eaten yet, where are you going? ”
"Ouch daddy, what about me, I'll tell you the truth, this Xiao Yueyue is my true daughter, and now I see that Xiao Yueyue is on the side of the pavilion at the moment, you let me go, let me chase my love!" Zhao Gen didn't reply, so he was full of energy to run.
Zhao Sheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that if this Li girl was trapped in the hands of this stinky boy, her daughter-in-law would definitely be the best if she didn't say it
After thinking about it, he let go of Zhao Genji, who was still running desperately to the pavilion, and laughed: "Hahahaha, my son has grown up after all, go!" Dad, I support you in your pursuit of love! ”
Zhao Genshu was suddenly released, almost stumbled, sighed in his heart Fortunately, the moon cakes did not fall, and when he heard his father say this, he happily turned around and waved two semicircles with his father's arm, and then jumped and ran in the direction of the pavilion.
When passing by a bamboo forest, Zhao Genji saw Zhu Changxun and Li Muyuan watching the moon in the pavilion at the moment.
He thought about it, and suddenly felt that it didn't seem good for him to go up like this at the moment, and it didn't seem that he had prepared any moon cakes for the prince...
After thinking about it, he only felt that someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, he was startled, and when he looked back to see who it was, he found that it was Zhu Mingsi, the king of letters, who had left early in the daytime.
"Ah, it turned out to be a letter to the prince, it scared me..."Zhao Genshu relieved himself.
I only heard King Xin smile and ask, "What are you doing standing here?" Although the autumn day is already cool, there are still many mosquitoes in the bamboo forest at the moment. ”
Zhao Genshu was suddenly asked like this, and he was so frightened that the moon cakes in his arms were shaken out of two, and Zhu Mingsi was even more puzzled when he saw him carrying the moon cakes.
When Zhao Genshu didn't know what to do, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and picked up the moon cake in his arms and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Me, I stole a few of my father's favorite mooncakes, and I'm hiding here to eat them, you slapped me, I thought it was my father, hehehe..."
The king did not doubt him, and looked at the gazebo behind him. I saw that the two didn't have much communication, but standing together like this, they seemed quite compatible. I couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness in my heart.
He thought about it for a while, took out a jade bracelet from his arms, which could be seen to be very smooth in the dark night, and handed it to Zhao Genji: "This bracelet should be Miss Li's favorite style, and I ask Brother Zhao to give it to her for me." ”
Zhao Genshu took the bracelet suspiciously, but he couldn't figure out why he came. Seeing that Zhu Mingsi turned around and was about to leave, he asked strangely: "Then why don't you send it over yourself, she is here in the pavilion..."
Zhu Mingsi paused, and then only heard him laugh quite heartily and gently, and just said: "I accidentally saw that this jade bracelet is good-looking, and I didn't bring any greeting gifts when I went to the palace to see her last time, so this can be regarded as making up for it." I was afraid that she would not accept it if I gave it to her in person, so I bothered Brother Zhao. ”
