Mid-Autumn Night.

When the moon is lit and the snow is blooming, the gold is dazzling, and Luo Qi is fragrant.

The new voice laughed at Liu Mo Huaqu, and tuned the strings according to the orchestra in the teahouse restaurant.

The noise grew quieter until he was about to enter the palace.

On horseback, Li Yunsheng spoke.

"If you don't have enough manpower, go directly to Ling Zuo to mobilize Jin Wuwei and keep an eye on Wangyue Tower tonight."

Liu Quan led the horse and answered.

"Yes."

The Mid-Autumn Festival is named after the three autumns, and every three autumn laurels, Da Chu will have a grand celebration.

The people of Beijing admired the moon, laurels, lanterns, moon cakes, and drank poems.

The Imperial Palace, on the other hand, hosts a grand dinner attended by all officials of the Gyeonggi region who are above the sixth grade.

After sacrificing to the moon god, the monarch and the ministers enjoyed the banquet and admired the moon and wrote poems.

Li Yun was promoted to the head of the hundred officials, so naturally he could not be absent.

Dismount outside the palace gate, the hundred officials enter the palace, and a group of servants have to wait outside the palace gate for the banquet to end.

Liu Quan was different, after Li Yun entered the palace, he led the horse back directly.

Because, he dared to bet with God that tonight his own prime minister would stay in the palace for another night.

Don't ask, asking is a lesson learned from waiting for several nights outside the palace gate.

Li Yunsheng stepped into the palace, and the palace was brightly lit and prosperous.

Admire the moon and extend the laurel row, leaning on the Gui Pavilion, Qiuhui Hall, and Bizen, all of which are temporarily taken, and the night is happy and straight through the world.

The lights and candles are bright, and the night stops, like the fairy world.

According to the custom, after the hundred officials sacrificed to the moon god with the empress, they also put krathong in order to be blessed by the gods.

Next to the river, Li Yunsheng looked at the bright moon in the water and was a little stunned.

Until a palace maid held a lotus-shaped water lantern and handed it to him, and called softly.

"Li Xiang."

Only then did he come back to his senses slightly, and casually pinched the lotus petals of the two water lanterns with one hand and took them.

Unexpectedly, with a slight crisp sound.

The palace maid who had just let go of her hand immediately picked it up again.

"The slave should die, the slave will go and exchange it for Li Xiang."

Li Yunsheng glanced back, thinking that the lotus flower was strong enough, but he didn't expect to fold a piece.

"No need."

He took it with one hand and took it over, and it didn't hurt to make a wish for the remnant flowers.

He put the krathong in his hand into the river and watched the krathong flow downstream, and his thoughts drifted away.

Although he lives well here, he still misses his family a little after all, especially this kind of family reunion.

When he came here, it was eight years of Wu'an, and now it is eleven years of Wu'an, and he doesn't know if his parents on another planet are healthy.

They may have disappeared for three years in another world, how sad they must be.

Looking at the reflection of the moon in the water, he couldn't help but think of that sentence.

Today's people don't see the ancient times and the moon, but this month once looked like the ancients.

If the ancients and the present people are flowing water, they will see the bright moon together.

If he is really an ancient, he may be able to enjoy the bright moon with his family across the long river of time.

Unfortunately, he didn't know if the moon in the sky was the same thing as the moon in the modern world.

Li Yunsheng didn't notice at all that Jiang Qingying was already standing beside him.

"Li Yunsheng, you are really good!"

"Huh?"

Hearing the empress's words, Li Yunsheng's thoughts were pulled back all of a sudden.

When you look up, you can see that the water lanterns in the river are floating on the water, shining as stars.

And his water lantern has long since drifted away, and he is missing.

Li Yunsheng slapped his forehead and muttered to himself.

"I forgot to make a wish."

Jiang Qingying took a deep breath and threw aside the fact that he had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

With a hook of her fingers, a water lantern that floated far away turned out to swim upstream.

This scene is amazed by everyone.

Soon, the lantern floated in front of Li Yunsheng.

He recognized at a glance that it was the Krathong that he had just put down.

Because, a piece of broken flowers on the top was broken by him.

So, the empress has been watching his Krathong from the beginning?

Li Yunsheng did not make a wish immediately, but turned his head to look at the person beside him

After a few breaths, Jiang Qingying was a little uncomfortable by him, and turned his head slightly.

"Look at what I'm doing, don't make a wish soon."

Li Yunsheng replied meaningfully.

"Yes."

Then he folded his hands, closed his eyes and whispered, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Qingying tilted his ears, and even if he got closer, he only vaguely heard the word 'knight' in his wish.

But he couldn't figure out what Li Yunsheng's wish had to do with the knight.

After a while, seeing Li Yunsheng put down his hands, Jiang Qingying immediately stood up straight, looking like I was not eavesdropping.

Li Yunsheng glanced at the empress: "What did Your Majesty just say?" ”

After he said this, Jiang Qingying remembered what he was here for.

As soon as her fingers loosened, the water lantern flowed down the river, and she continued to ask for guilt.

"I said you really have the ability, the big ability!"

Li Yunsheng glanced around, and at this time, only some palace maids were left to put lights in the river.

"The minister's ability has always been very great, I don't know what Your Majesty is referring to?"

"That!" The empress tilted her head slightly.

On the other side of the river, although Huo Dingwen was among the ministers, there seemed to be a circle around him.

Except for Changshi Zhao, who had been following him, everyone stood outside this circle tacitly.

In the lively conversation of hundreds of officials, these two people seemed so lonely.

Jiang Qingying heard some time ago that someone was trying to win over these officials from Weidi, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, these people have all followed Huo Dingwen to implement the new policy in Weidi all the way, and they can be regarded as having gone through many tests.

And these are all talents that she personally selected at the beginning, so she is very confident.

But when I saw it today, it was clear at a glance.

The dozen or so officials from Weidi actually stood with the Li Party's people, talking and laughing.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it, and it had only been a few months.

Li Yunsheng followed the empress's gaze and knew it in his heart.

"It turns out that Your Majesty is talking about Huo Shilang."

Jiang Qingying snorted coldly.

"I summoned fourteen officials from Weidi to the capital division, and in just a few months, you pulled twelve people into the water."

"Your Majesty should thank your ministers for knowing people and being good at their duties."

"You formed a party in the DPRK, and I still want to thank you?"

Li Yunsheng explained slowly.

"The minister is testing these people for His Majesty, and it is obvious that they are not the people His Majesty wants."

In the face of his quibbles, Jiang Qingying felt that there was some truth, as if something was wrong.

"If you don't try to bribe them, they won't do it."

"Your Majesty is wrong in what you said, they can't hold on to it for even a few months in the Jingshi.

What will happen in the future?

Even if they can not be greedy for a year and not be greedy for two years, what about five, ten, or twenty years? ”

"Yes...... But they did a good job of implementing the new policy in Weidi. ”

In fact, this is also what Jiang Qingying can't understand, obviously he was a Qing official before he came, how did he get to Li Yunsheng, and they all fell together.
