The moonlight was exceptionally good on the night of mid-autumn night, and sitting in the courtyard, I could almost read the handwriting on the book. Bayi Chinese ???.

Xie Ning asked people to place the round table in the courtyard behind the main hall of Yong'an Palace, and lit two blue gauze lanterns, and when they saw that the moonlight was so good, they simply asked people to turn off the lights.

In fact, Xie Ning likes to spend a festival quietly like this, he doesn't have to entertain a lot of people who are not familiar with each other, he says insincere words, and he wears a board that is upright, and he can't even move around, for fear that there will be any gaffes in the eyes of others.

When the eldest prince came over, he wore a duck egg green robe, afraid that the wind would be cool at night, Fang Shanggong added an extra thin silk cotton shoulder to him, which looked like a silver gray color under the moonlight. Xie Ning was wearing a light orange pink shirt dress, lightly applying fat powder, and a little plum blossom makeup was painted on his eyebrows. Princess Yuyao was still wearing the same body as in the daytime, with a small face, just now the palace maid wanted to change her clothes, she shook her hands and ran away, Xie Ning comforted her for a while, and combed her hair again, but her clothes were not changed.

When Princess Yuyao refused to speak, no one could pry her small mouth open, and Xie Ning couldn't ask why she was upset.

Is it dissatisfaction with the new clothes? Children should love bright clothes and playthings, but now everyone has to dress modestly. This year, the palace is the second time to be filial, and the last time is when Concubine Shu goes.

The emperor only wore a hemp gray regular dress, with no belt, holding the little fat dun of the second prince in his arms, and told the two children: "Wait until you go to bed and rest, don't eat too much cold things, it's uncomfortable to turn around and accumulate food." ”

The eldest prince stood up and answered yes.

Xie Ning hurriedly said: "Sit down, don't make it like a big thing in the court." Be happy during the holidays. ”

Of course, there are watermelons and mooncakes on the table. The reunion moon cake in the middle was steamed by Xie Ning and the eldest prince by themselves, and it had nothing to do with the word exquisite, and it barely looked like a moon cake. Xie Ning used a silver knife to cut the moon cakes evenly, and everyone got a piece.

Of course, the mooncakes still taste good, and even the second prince got a small piece. The small half of the moon cake made him grind badly, playing and biting, and the sweet and greasy stuffing was sticky everywhere on his hands.

The eldest prince took out his flute and played a tune to cheer up. The emperor was very enthusiastic and knocked on the table with his hand and slapped him. Even the second prince quieted down, and waited quietly with his little face up, as if he could understand it. When the eldest prince finished blowing the song, the emperor smiled and high-fived and exclaimed: "This moon is really good, have you practiced it specially?" ”

The eldest prince nodded and said, "I've been practicing for more than ten days, and I still don't blow it very well." ”

According to Xie Ning's sound, except for the weaker breath, the blowing is indeed very beautiful. he

Princess Yuyao jumped out of her chair and walked to the eldest prince to pull the tassel on his flute. The eldest prince handed her the flute and let her play with it.

The emperor asked people to take pen and paper to write a poem, and Xie Ning also told a small talk story about the Mid-Autumn Festival that circulated in his hometown. I was afraid that the children would catch a cold, so I quickly asked someone to take them back to the house after enjoying the moon for a while. The second prince became more and more energetic, and he didn't know who found a deck of crescent cards, so he grabbed several of them in his hand and threw them to play, listening to the silly music of the ding-dong sound.

He was happy, and Qinghe and the others on the side didn't dare to relax and stare at him for a moment. The exquisiteness of this crescent card carving, I am not afraid of anything when I play with it, I am afraid that I will not see him and stuff it into his mouth and swallow it, fortunately, the second prince does not seem to have any intention of tasting it. finally lulled him to sleep, and the Yong'an Palace finally calmed down.

Xie Ning and the emperor sat under the window next to each other, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, and no one made a sound at this moment. These days are hectic and busy, and it's rare to have such a quiet moment.

Shainin originally had a lot to say, but he didn't bother to say it at this time, and he didn't want to break the tranquility of this moment. Those trivial and disturbing things will be saved for tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and they will be left for daytime. At this time, she didn't want to talk about those things.

This moment only belongs to the two of them, to such a beautiful moonlight.

The emperor's fingers wrapped a strand of her head, tightened, loosened a little, and then tightened again, and so on, and so on, and never tired of it.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Xie Ning shook his head, and the whole person leaned on the emperor's arms.

If you go out, he is the emperor, she is a concubine, and the two of them have to separate the upper and lower levels, it is impossible to be so close to each other as they are now, and there is no gap between the close.

The emperor hugged her, and after a while, he asked softly: "Do ordinary people celebrate the festival like this?" ”

"It's much more lively." Xie Ning whispered: "When I was at my uncle's house, my cousins and cousins would not sit honestly until the banquet was over, and they would always go to have fun early. The cousins followed the crickets to turn over the stones and drill the haystacks, and they always harvested a few in one night, secretly raising and listening to their calls, and also teasing the crickets to fight each other. In fact, the adults also know it, but they don't blame them during the festival, so they just turn a blind eye and pretend that they don't see it......"

"And what do the girls do?"

"When I was young, I was with my cousin. Pull out some flowers and grass stems to fight grass together, everyone hides them and lets a person come to find them, and they will fold handkerchiefs into small mice and butterflies to play, in short, there are many tricks, and they are not boring at all. ”

"I originally wanted to take you to the Qinglu Pond to take a boat tour of the lake tonight, but I was afraid that it would be too cold at night on the lake, and it would be too late."

"That's good." Xie Ning sighed comfortably: "I really want to live like this every year." ”

This is naturally impossible. If it weren't for such an eventful season this year, an important festival would not have been beaten so coldly.

"If you like, we'll do it every year."

Shainin smiled. Although I knew that this was unlikely, I still felt happy when I heard the emperor say this.

"I don't remember much about how the festival was celebrated in the past years, as if it was the same every year, and many people, round after round of toasting, drank cold in their mouths. At that time, I didn't like the festival the most, and each time it became more and more boring. ”

Shainin has also experienced this kind of occasion, and every time it is a hard time, calculating when he will be able to disperse. She has only experienced it a few times, but the emperor has lived like this when he was a child.

All of them spoke insincere words, wore clothes that represented their status, played a fixed role, and even the words seemed to be written in advance, repeating themselves over and over again, year after year, over and over again.

But now that they're together, this moment is so precious and real.

She raised her head slightly, and through the shadow of the screen candles and a curtain of moonlight, the emperor's face looked extraordinarily soft, as if covered with a veil.

Her gaze lingered warmly on his eyebrows and face, which was too ambiguous and too explicit, even if it was a piece of wood, the emperor made her rub Mars back and forth.

His hand ran over Shainin's head and cupped her face.

The lips and teeth are grinding, and the breath is blending.

The fly in the ointment is that Shainin raised his head so high that his neck was sore.

The moonlight sprinkled the quiet courtyard of Yong'an Palace,

She wore a bandeau trimmed with silver filigree embroidered with orchids, and the narrow silver edge shimmered in the moonlight, and the light was still rising and falling rapidly with her breathing.

The emperor's palm seemed to hide a charcoal fire, which burned her heartbeat.

"Did you pick this one on purpose......?"

Shainin shook his head wildly.

How could she have thought that the moonlight was so good today? I just love this bandeau with a light color and exquisite embroidery.

At this time, she can't think clearly, to explain, to find a reasonable step for herself to get rid of this embarrassment of shame.

The moon is so bright that there is nothing to hide. Her flustered expression gradually became intoxicated, and more often than not, she closed her eyes, as if to convince herself that the moonlight was not clear, and that he could not see her clearly.

But occasionally in the gap between opening his eyes, she could still see his outline, and his eyes, bright and terrifying. The drooping copper hooks and long spikes of the curtains swayed, the whole canopy of the sky also trembled, the full moon seemed to be shaking, and the scattered stars drew arcs of light in the field of vision, as if they turned into rain and fell one after another.

Xie Ning didn't quite remember how she got back to the bed, and for a long time afterward, she was in a daze, and her mind was not so clear. The emperor brought her half a glass of water, and she got up and lowered her head to drink the water in the cup. The emperor usually doesn't do this kind of caring thing, and he is not so skilled in feeding water, so he sprinkled some on the side of the bed.

Xie Ning asked lazily: "What is in the water?" ”

Her voice was a little hoarse and weak.

"It's warm water."

Xie Ning licked his lips that were a little hot and dry: "Sweet." ”

The emperor asked softly, "Really?" ”

He leaned over and kissed her lightly on the lips, then said, "It's a little sweet, indeed." ”

On the second day, it was the sixteenth, and the green lotus women folded the osmanthus flowers from the imperial garden and put them in the vase, and the whole room was dyed with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus flowers. I smelled it for a long time, but I felt that there was still some astringency in this sweet fragrance.

Li ordered to come over to ask for a pulse, and after reading it for the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao, Xie Ning specially invited him to come over and speak.

Li Zhiling's medical skills are superb, and he has a lot of contacts, and Xie Ning is also very convinced of him.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is recovering well, I heard that she lost her temper yesterday? Joy, anger, sorrow, seven emotions and five senses are all self-conscious, and her temper tantrum is also evidence that she is getting better. ”

Xie Ning thanked Li for his order: "It has always been thanks to Master Li for his trouble. ”

"Xie Niangniang is polite, the lower officials haven't congratulated Niangniang yet, Niangniang is very happy."

Xie Ning just lowered her head and smiled, she had heard too much in the past few days.

"Since the seven emotions and five senses will recover like ordinary people, will she remember the previous things?"

Although Princess Yuyao is not very old, she can walk and talk after all, and she should be able to remember things. How much does she remember about the people and things in Yanning Palace? Will it gradually remember? Does she know that Concubine Shu is long gone?
