"The Son of Heaven vernal equinox sunrise, autumn equinox sunset."

The Autumn Festival, also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Moon Worship, is a day where a variety of celebrations are held.

The royal palace is different, and the palace is busy early in the morning. The so-called "Spring Sacrifice Day, Autumn Sacrifice Moon", today to worship Shennong and the moon god, to beg for the world to be smooth.

The empress was dressed up in front of the bronze mirror, and five or six palace maids next to her were busy, putting on the crown clothes that the emperor would wear for the ceremony. Today is a time for a family reunion, and the royal family is no exception. The worship of the gods requires the participation of all the royal children, as the process is complicated and lasts for a long time, until the evening is a dinner together.

Tang Yun was waiting outside the door, he was in charge of the emperor's guards like Ruoshui today.

Because of the token given by Xia Zhenyang, he can still travel unhindered in the deep palace. Tang Yun knew how to measure, although he could go anywhere, Tang Yun still cautiously followed the emperor's side.

While waiting, a sudden sound of footsteps sounded beside him.

Their steps are so light that you don't have to guess to know it's water.

Xiao Qianqin is not only the minister of the edict, but also the commander of the internal guard. Ruoshui was in charge of the emperor's escort of other important members of the royal family, and the empress saw that this position was handed over to her, which showed her trust in Xiao Qianqin.

Xiao Qianqin is dressed in a simple ladies today, with a snow-green hairpin flower gown, flowing black hair, and a delicate silver hairpin pinned to the phoenix bun.

A trace of anxiety appeared on her red face, and she walked over quickly, and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw a shadow of a dragon robe along the open palace door, so she lowered her voice and said, "Lord Tang, I heard that you were injured last night, is there anything wrong?" ”

Tang Yun was very puzzled.

He never knew why Xiao Qianqin would treat him like this.

The original plan was probably that Xiao Qianqin was so enthusiastic in order to win him over.

But later, after some inquiry, Tang Yun learned about Xiao Qianqin's status in the court. Since ancient times, women have not been allowed to interfere in politics, but in this dynasty, this is nothing more than a joke. Even the emperor is a woman, so what else is there to say about politics.

Like the first assistant of the cabinet of the previous dynasty, the power of the prime minister in the court today is divided, and there are as many as three or four in number, but this internal minister is different, she has the power to deal with the rules and affairs of the yamen. This can be regarded as a direct participation in decision-making, and some prime ministers may not have as much power as her.

Such a character who is above 10,000 people under one person, why should he be co-opted for a small role.

But seeing Xiao Qianqin looking at him so worriedly, Tang Yun chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but think to himself, this girl wouldn't take a fancy to him, right?

But Tang Yun's thought was just a flash, and the chances for the two to meet were actually only a handful. Tang Yun usually doesn't believe in love at first sight, not to mention that Xiao Qianqin is in a high position, and his vision is also extremely high, Tang Yun doesn't think he has any advantages.

In the Great Zhou, men usually marry at the age of 16 and start a family. This seems ridiculous to Tang Yun, sixteen years old was still a student in his previous era, and he had to be careful even when he fell in love, let alone talk about marriage.

Tang Yun is twenty-four years old this year, but he has never married a wife. His identity is one thing, the most important thing is that Tang Yun is busy every day, and he is a monster except for his subordinates. He may not say a word to a woman for days.

Seeing Xiao Qianqin looking at him anxiously, Tang Yun hurriedly bowed down and said, "Back to the edict, the lower official just suffered some skin injuries, and it is not in the way." ”

Xiao Qianqin clenched her fists and said hatefully: "This group of Northern Wilderness thieves is really uneasy, how did Jin Wuwei do it?" ”

Tang Yun muttered: "Jin Wuwei also has a tribulation, the gods are too big, they can't touch everywhere. ”

As she spoke, the Empress was already dressed properly. Several people hurriedly stopped their mouths and stood on both sides without saying more.

The empress walked out in a crown dress, glanced at Xiao Qianqin, and said broadly: "Qin'er, are those people ready?" ”

Xiao Qianqin bowed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, all the princes are already waiting outside the palace gate." ”

The empress nodded, and the horn of the emperor's trip was already sounding around her. The forbidden army in golden armor surrounded the empress and left, while Xiao Qianqin followed by her.

Tang Yun did not leave with everyone, he walked out of the guard of honor and walked briskly along the path to some of the necessary roads that the empress was going to visit.

The place of today's sacrifice is on the hill next to the Shangyang Palace in the west of the imperial city.

This is actually out of the imperial city, but because of the natural danger, there is no city wall.

There is an altar on the mountain, where rituals are held, so that the gods in the heavens can receive requests from the earth.

It's a big deal for the Royals. Tang Yun didn't think that there were many princes in the capital, but when he went out to take a look, unexpectedly, there were already many people standing outside the palace gate.

These people are dressed in formal robes, and their status is clearly evident from their style. King Yan and King Liang are naturally at the forefront.

There are still some princes behind them, but they are also divided according to status. Between the prince and the prince of the county, it can be seen from where they stand.

Tang Yun saw King Yan squeezing his eyes at him, and he also hugged his fists in return. His mission today was to guard, and it was empty, but he was also very cautious. The Northern Wilderness can drive monsters, so it can often do things that ordinary people can't imagine. Now that the core figures of the entire royal family are gathered here, Tang Yun doesn't want any accidents to happen.

Tang Yun followed the empress all the way to the festival, which was really boring. But the Empress seemed to like such a formal ceremony, a long memorial text, and she actually read it naturally, without pretending to be someone else, and not even making a single mistake.

Tang Yun admired the empress a little in his heart, it was not unreasonable for a woman to be the emperor.

Just then, a carrier pigeon flew in from a distance.

Tang Yun stretched out his hand to catch it, took out the letter inside, and then let the carrier pigeon go.

There was Jing Liang reporting in the letter, saying that the troupe that originally hid the people of the Northern Wilderness had been replaced, and today it was a famous troupe in the capital that was performing. The hundred horsemen have already found out what their ancestors did, and there will be no problem.

At the end of the letter, he mentioned that he had not found the whereabouts of the youkai.

There is no whereabouts, which is the most disturbing thing in the bottom of my heart.

Tang Yun firmly believed in his heart that the people of the Northern Wilderness would never let go of this opportunity to catch them all. They must have had some plan in the making, and Tang Yun would rather see a few monsters jump in front of him now.

The unknown is often the most terrifying.

But all this that Tang Yun was worried about, the people around him didn't know. After a day of anxious waiting, it was finally dark, and everyone was hungry.

The moon-viewing banquet is about to begin, and Shangyang Palace is already brightly lit.
