72, Mid-Autumn Festival
It's night.
The Fuluan Hall was deserted, and there were not a few lamps hanging outside, only the queen of heaven sat on the bed and read a book, quiet and lonely.
Shi Rong walked in with a palace maid with a tray in her hand.
"Queen of Heaven, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's eat a piece of moon cake, this is the ...... carefully prepared by the imperial chefs"
"Put it there." The queen interrupted her.
Shi Rong had to put the exquisite mooncakes on the plate on the shore as she said, and then added a cup of tea to the queen.
Listening to the sound of water, the queen of heaven looked sideways at the moonlight outside the window and asked, "Is there anyone sending something below?" ”
"Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness King Su have given gifts to the heavens, and they sent them from Chang'an."
Shi Rong said as she noticed the queen's face, and then took out a booklet from the tray of the palace maid on the side.
"Shi Yu Jingtang in the Feng Pavilion sends ......"
"Don't read it, just take it all."
Shi Rong immediately put down the booklet, turned around and walked out of the palace gate.
The Queen of Heaven put down the book in her hand, and the silence of the hall was restored.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the curfew will be lifted in Luoyang City, and the people will celebrate this festival together, enjoy the lantern festival, watch the fireworks, and set off the sky lanterns......
Just thinking about it makes me feel very lively.
Not long after, Shi Rong walked into the main hall with a group of palace maids, and these maids each carried some gifts and placed them in the center of the main hall.
didn't let Shi Rong introduce it, the queen got up and came to the pile of gifts, and looked at it.
These were all given to her by the courtiers, and everything was done with great care, and each piece was a treasure.
The queen of heaven took out a delicate wooden box and opened it to see that there was a lake pen lying quietly inside.
"Did Yu Jingtang send it?" She asked.
Shi Rong bowed and responded, "Yes." ”
She put the wooden box back again, flipped through it casually, found a pen to wash, and couldn't help but sneer: "What do they mean?" ”
Shi Rong only glanced at it and saw that it was sent by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and she had already memorized the gift list.
The queen of heaven put the pen back again, carefully studied the pile of gifts for a long time, opened the gifts one by one, took the gift book and glanced at it, and suddenly threw it to the ground irritably.
"Take it, take it all!"
Shi Rong hurriedly gave the palace maid a look, and the pile of gifts that everyone had worked so hard to move could only be moved out again at this moment.
The queen sat back on the couch, stroking her forehead with one hand, and her hair fell down.
"Diva ......"
Shi Rong was also thinking about why the queen of heaven suddenly got angry, was it because she didn't receive the gift she wanted to receive, or because someone didn't give a gift?
She was thinking about whether to call some drama troupes and musicians to relieve her boredom.
"Herald." The queen of heaven suddenly said at this time.
"Go to Xuan...... Come to me. ”
Shi Rong couldn't help but be stunned, and then hurriedly received the order.
After walking out of the Fuluan Palace, I saw that the palace maids were carrying gifts back just now, and someone accidentally dropped a large gift box to the ground.
Shi Rongxiu frowned and stepped over: "What's the matter?" ”
She checked the contents of the gift box and was relieved to see that there was no damage.
The palace maid looked left and right, but complained: "Godmother, my daughter didn't mean it. ”
"Be careful, if something breaks, your life will be gone!" Shi Rong reprimanded.
The palace maid said: "It's obviously the Mid-Autumn Festival, why is the queen here like a cold palace, and it's not lively, who swept her up?" ”
Shi Rong looked at the teenage girl in front of her, and slapped her.
The girl was stunned for an instant, and when she looked up, she saw Shi Rong looking at her coldly.
She realized something, quickly lowered her head, picked up the gift and walked away quickly.

An Yan is accompanying Wenren Jinping and Huanxi to enjoy the lanterns on the prosperous and lively street, standing at the head of the bridge, looking at the sky lanterns rising in the distance.
"Husband, let's go put the lights on too!" Wenren Jinping pointed to the sky and said with great interest.
"Okay." Ann smiled and agreed.
Then he took the two girls to the open space by the lake, and bought one from a stall selling sky lanterns.
Wenren Jinping borrowed the pen of the shop owner and wrote a congratulatory message on the paper hanging from the sky lantern.
"Husband." Wen Ren Jinping handed the pen to An Yan.
An Yan looked at what Wen Ren Jinping wrote, just two simple words of prayer, An Yan looked up at the moonlight and thought about it, so he also picked up the pen and wrote down a few words.
"I hope people will ...... for a long time," Wenren Jinping said lightly.
It's just half a sentence, and An Yan didn't write anything else, and it's easy to understand.
Wenren Jinping showed a smile on his face, then looked at Huanxi on the side, and asked, "Huanxi, do you want to write?" ”
Huanxi didn't think about her own business, An Yan also handed over the pen at this time, she was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly waved her hand and refused: "I don't need it...... I just hope my aunt and miss are well. ”
"Okay then." Ann smiled and didn't force it.
An Yan lit the sky lantern, and the heat slowly lifted it into the air, and An Yan also sighed for a while, and took Wenren Jinping into his arms.
Wenren Jinping looked around, and saw that they were all couples in pairs, and no one paid attention to this side to feel a lot more relieved.
The sudden sound of hurried footsteps broke the peaceful atmosphere, and a Xuanjia guard walked quickly to the three of them, and bowed his hand to An Yan: "Lord An, the Queen of Heaven announced that you have entered the palace." ”
An couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"The lowly position is unknown, Lord An, please enter the palace with the lowly position."
An Yan, who was disturbed, was slightly displeased in his heart, and Wenren Jinping said sensibly at this time: "Since the queen of heaven has a life, husband, go quickly." ”
An Yan said to the Xuanjia guard: "I'll change into my official uniform first." ”
Fuluan Palace.
After An was tired of entering the palace, he felt that the atmosphere was weird, it was obviously the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the palace was unusually deserted, in fact, it was almost the same as usual, but now there was a lively and jubilant scene outside, and it seemed as if something bad had happened here.
"What's wrong with the diva?" An Yan asked Shi Rong.
"The queen is in a bad mood, Lord An should be careful." Shi Rong kindly reminded.
All the palace maids had been dismissed in the main hall, and when An Yan walked in, he saw the queen of heaven lying on her back on the bed, wearing a red regular dress, and her legs hanging down on the side of the bed.
An was tired of approaching and saw that the delicate mooncakes on the plate on the low table had not been moved.
"Mid-Autumn Festival, why don't you eat mooncakes?" An Yan picked up a piece casually and took a bite, and unexpectedly found that it was more delicious than the one made at home, with the aroma of osmanthus.
The queen of heaven opened her eyes and looked at the roof, and asked, "What were you doing when I called you?" ”
"My wife and I went out shopping and enjoyed the lanterns."
"Did you bother me?"
When these words came out of the mouth of the queen of heaven, An Yan thought it was funny, but seeing her lying there with a sad and joyless look, she thought about it and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
She said, "Shen Tu wins, he will listen to me." ”
An Yan frowned slightly, thinking that the queen of heaven was going to tell him about the previous things again.
"Even if I want to give him power, he will listen to me."
"After you do what you want to do, leave everything to Yu Jingtang, and it's up to you to toss as you want." The queen continued.
She spoke a little distractedly, and her eyes seemed to be empty.
"I want to go to Chang'an......"
“……”
An Yan thought for a while and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
The queen of heaven suddenly sat up at this time and stared at him: "Do you want to accompany me to Chang'an?" ”
Changan?
It is a place for the emperor's relatives, dignitaries and nobles to enjoy and retire.
What is An tired of going there to do, what he has to do is about to unfold, and he can't do without the queen of heaven at that time.
"Isn't Luoyang bad?" He asked rhetorically.
When the queen heard this, her expression darkened, and she lay back again.
"It's not good, it's not good anywhere......" she muttered.
An Yi thought to himself, why did the queen suddenly become sentimental this day, shouldn't the person sitting in this position be a ruthless and decisive emperor?
No matter how close a courtier is, he is just a courtier.
Can't live without him?
An anary doesn't have to experience this feeling, and it can be regarded as standing and talking without backache.
However, he does not need to be sympathetic to other people's thoughts, he has never been a good person with a good heart, and the stakes are very high, so it is impossible to be soft-hearted.
There was silence in the hall for a while, and the queen of heaven got up from the bed, walked to An Yan's approach, and stretched out her arms to hug him tightly.
The queen of heaven looked directly into An Yan's eyes, and her eyes flashed: "I can give you a child, put him under the name of a prince, and be the future emperor." ”
"You accompany me to Chang'an."
