Chapter 8 Mid-Autumn Night
Since the last time she secretly went down the mountain, Xiaoxi found that everyone seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with her, especially her master taught her a very serious lesson, which roughly meant: In the future, if she goes down the mountain without his consent, she will be told not to go back to Qinglong Mountain.
Xiaoxi also knows that she is wrong, so in the past few days, her attitude has been very sincere and admitting her mistakes, if she wants to go down the mountain again, she has to ask this old man to agree, after all, he is the king of the mountain.
This night is the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, is it such a good view, everyone's interest is very good, the four people sit around drinking and admiring the moon is very cheerful, especially this little chatter chatting everywhere.
Most of the things on the table are the fruits of Xiaoxi's labor, the meals are made by Xiaoxi, and the melons and fruits are picked by Xiaoxi in the mountains a few days ago. Although it is not a delicate food, the things in the countryside are even more simple and delicious.
Jiuye felt that such a night, such a scenery was more charming and comfortable, and he was even more obsessed with this quiet starry sky.
The old man was even more excited when he saw the good wine, and his mood was very good, and several people were full of interest, and after a while, a bottle of good wine was at the bottom.
"Nine Leaves Child, although it is a bit difficult for the old body to heal you, but your few bottles of good wine have finally lived up to my hard work."
"Elder Ling, it's good if you like it, the juniors are really a little embarrassed, and I will definitely thank Elder Ling in the future."
Xiao Xi and Yi Yi also drank a few glasses, Xiao Xi was a little dizzy, and then saw that Jiu Ye and Old Man Ling next to him were in good spirits.
Jiuye's heart was hearty, his mood was happy, his heart was open, and in the face of this bright moon, the poetry was strong, the atmosphere was high, and he pondered for a long time, and then listened to him chant:
When the treasure mirror rises in the sky, the fairy in the clouds is silent;
The round is full of equal colors, and the clouds are thousands of miles bright;
The cunning rabbit falls from the string, and the toad is born in front of him;
The Lingcha intends to join hands with each other, and wait for the galaxy to be completely cleared.
Yiyi was the first to applaud, and the other two were in a state of ignorance, but unfortunately there were too few people among the four who knew the artistic conception, only Yiyi was the only one who appreciated and praised it, and how much she could understand the deep meaning of this, it should just be a simple liking.
But this didn't affect Jiuye's mood, he didn't mean that there was no bosom friend to applaud and appreciate this cold scene at this time, he just wanted to express his feelings and mood at this time. I prefer the rare comfort at this time.
Xiaoxi also heard his poetry, although she is not as knowledgeable and knowledgeable as Jiuye, and she is not as knowledgeable as Yiyi, but fortunately, she has also read some books.
Her dark and bright eyes stared at Jiuye, and her mind was also thinking about the poetry he had just had,
"The poem you just chanted should be about this full moon, although I don't know the meaning, but I know that you should be in a good mood now, right?"
Jiuye smiled lightly and took away the wine glass in front of her, not wanting her to drink it anymore,
"When you wake up tomorrow, I'll write it down, and you're thinking about it."
Xiaoxi snatched his wine glass from Jiuye's hand,
"No, don't you just look down on me for not being able to recite poems, and when the moon is bigger that day, I will also brew a good mood, and I will definitely be better than you,"
Yiyi heard that his body was originally a little drunk here, and he was also sober up at this moment, and he leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, and the old man Ling also laughed, and then looked at Jiuye and laughed sullenly.
Xiao Xi must have felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that he was being ridiculed, especially when he felt that the laughter of Yiyi and the old man was even harsher, and he was about to pour the wine glass without thinking about it, and was snatched by Jiuye again.
"You can't be greedy, you've drunk too much tonight," Jiuye was a little worried about her body
"I'm going to drink, if you are my mother or not, you care about me."
Hearing this, the calm and elegant Jiuye coughed violently in embarrassment,
"Okay, Xiaoxi, I believe in you." Jiuye faced the unreasonable Xiaoxi, there was really no way to do it, and the tone was quite helpless.
"What do you believe in me"
"I believe everything you say"
Xiaoxi was smug and her mouth was cocked, and she grinned
"Still, Jiuye is the best."
Jiuye sighed, drank the wine in the cup beautifully, and the shallow smile on his face hung for a long time.
Yiyi, who was a little sober on the other side, felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she would rather she think too much.
It was almost late at night when the old man Ling was helped into the house by Yiyi, and there were only two people left in the yard, Jiuye and Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi was talking about her descent this time with great interest, and she was talking about the bad things about this town, on the contrary, she praised all kinds of good things in Liyang County, and even the horsemen in this town looked crooked and cracked jujubes were not as good-looking as Liyang County.
Jiuye listened silently, occasionally Xiaoxi said exaggerated and untrue, just smiled lightly, and then Xiaoxi couldn't help but be sleepy and fell asleep on the table like that, Jiuye covered her with her coat, looking at the stars and the full moon on the top of the sky, looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival every year in the future, there will be tonight's scenery and mood. Although he knew that his future journey would not be easy, he still couldn't help but hope for it.
The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner in the palace of Shangdu is noisy and lively, such as the king above the main hall of the music hall is also a dragon face Dayue, it seems that it has not been affected by the previous palace changes, but the queen mother seems to be reluctant.
The singing and dancing sheng silk bamboo orchestra has a peaceful and prosperous atmosphere, and then look at the prince who is now in power, laughing loudly and looking excited, as if the aura of this feast is gathered on him alone. The emperor also praised his crown prince, and most of the ministers and concubines and princes in the palace also congratulated him one after another.
Just take a closer look at some people's congratulations with ulterior motives, and even the laughter that echoes it has a deep meaning. As the fifth prince who is also the prince, King Ning looks bleak and cold, but he doesn't seem to care about the cold eyes of others, because his eyes tonight are always so unfathomable between his father and the crown prince.
And the seat is very close, the noble and elegant queen and the beautiful princess have their own thoughts, the two occasionally meet their eyes just a faint smile in response, the prince who has been used to deceiving me since childhood felt some hostility from the queen's smile, she really didn't understand when she offended the queen mother who was not a few years older than herself, this feeling has been since she married the prince. She is very cautious and cautious when she usually asks for peace or encounters occasionally! Looking at the queen, she is calmly and generously greeting all the ladies tonight, or the virtuous and dignified lord of the harem.
But the one who can't bear to be snubbed is the Seventh Prince Wing King, who admires the current prince very much.
"Father, the sons must take the prince as an example, and they will definitely make the father look at him differently in the future."
"Hahaha, okay, my Seventh Emperor seems to have opened his mind, and he knows that he will follow the crown prince to share his worries for me."
I saw that the prince's face, which was still smiling just now, suddenly became a lot colder, and he looked at the Wing King coldly,
After receiving the prince's cold eyes, the Wing King was a little timid after comprehending it, and quickly changed his words;
"Father, the sons dare not compare with His Royal Highness the Prince, the sons just want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give more pointers and make his father happy."
The Seventh Prince finally felt relieved when he saw that His Royal Highness the Prince's face was relieved, but after a few steps of drinking, he seemed to have forgotten what kind of occasion this was, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead:
"Erchen will not be like the ninth brother, disobedient and deceiving the emperor."
As soon as this sentence was said, the emperor completely changed his face, and then looked at the ministers and everyone sitting under the main hall, all of them were terrified and terrified. And then watching the prince slyly watching the emperor's every move, taking in the emperor's attitude, the color of spicy and jealousy in his eyes is even stronger. didn't care about the safety of the brainless Seven Emperor Brothers.
The emperor's face on the dragon chair was gloomy and terrifying, and the Seventh Emperor himself knelt down to admit his father's mistake.
"Father, the son has no intention of displeasing his father, please atone for his father's sins."
The hands on the dragon chair tightened and loosened, and all the people who sat down in His Highness were observed and figured out, and the mood was suddenly relieved, people's hearts were the most sinister, and even he, the king, could not control them, and his stupid son was obviously used as a target.
"Now that you know you're wrong, go back to your house and think about what went wrong."
This frozen scene was covered up by the emperor in a few words, and the hall was lively again, and there was a scene that had just returned to the festive and peaceful scene.
It's just that the Queen Mother really couldn't stand it, so she found an excuse and left the table hastily.
When she returned to her own Ankang Palace, she could finally take off her disguise, and the old lady who was waiting knew her kindness.
"Queen Mother, you're useless tonight, slave maid go and make you some porridge,"
The Queen Mother is an old woman in her sixties, and the worry on her face has not decreased.
"No need, the mourning family is still in the mood to drink porridge, the nine sons of the mourning family, I still don't know what the situation is."
The old lady knew what she wanted, and she didn't dare to say any more, so she massaged her somewhat sore shoulder.
"The son of the mourning family, he obviously likes Jiu'er, but he has to take someone else's hand to test the Jiu'er of the mourning family, to put it bluntly, it is also for his throne to be more stable."
The old lady pondered one or two and asked, "Then the Queen Mother wants to help the Nine Emperors?"
"The mourning family is loving Jiu'er, but the mourning family can control the emperor, isn't all this also given by the emperor, and I believe that the mourning family's Jiu'er will return to the palace soon."
