The moonlight was particularly good on a mid-autumn night.
Sitting in the yard, I could almost see the writing on the book clearly.
Xie Ning had a round table placed in the courtyard behind the main hall of Yong'an Palace, and two bisha lanterns were lit.
Seeing how beautiful the moonlight was, he simply had the lights turned out.
In fact, Xie Ning likes to spend a quiet holiday like this.
He doesn't have to socialize with a lot of familiar and unfamiliar people and talk insincerely.
He wears the right clothes and can't even move around for fear of losing his composure. fall in the eyes of others.
The eldest prince was wearing a duck-egg blue robe when he came over.
To avoid the cold wind at night, Fang Shanggong gave him an extra thin silk cotton waistcoat.
The clothes looked like silver-gray in the moonlight.
Xie Ning wore a light orange-pink shirt and skirt, lightly applied makeup and a little plum blossom makeup between her eyebrows.
Princess Yuyao was still wearing the same outfit she had during the day, with a stern face.
Just now, the palace maid wanted to change her clothes, but she threw away her hands and ran away.
Xie Ning comforted her for a while and combed her hair again, but she did not change her clothes.
When Princess Yuyao refused to speak, no one could pry her small mouth open, and Xie Ning couldn't ask her why she was unhappy.
Could it be that they are dissatisfied with the new clothes?
Children should like bright and colorful clothes and toys, but now everyone can only wear simple clothes.
This is the second time this year that the palace has paid filial piety.
The last time was when Concubine Shu went.
The emperor also only wore a heather gray uniform without a belt.
He held the chubby second prince in his arms and told the two children: "I will go to bed to have a rest later.
Don't eat too much cold food.
Go back and save food."
Uncomfortable.”
The eldest prince stood up and said yes.
Xie Ning said quickly: "Sit down quickly, don't act like it's a big event in the court.
Be happy during the holidays."
Of course there are festive watermelons and moon cakes on the table.
The reunion mooncake placed in the middle was steamed by Xie Ning and the eldest prince and the others.
It has nothing to do with exquisiteness.
It just looks like a mooncake.
Xie Ning used a silver knife to cut the mooncakes evenly and give each person a piece.
Of course, the mooncakes tasted good, and even the second prince got a small piece.
The small half piece of mooncake made him grind it to pieces, playing with it and biting it.
The sweet and greasy filling made his hands and body sticky everywhere.
The eldest prince took out his flute and played a piece of music to cheer him up.
The emperor was very appreciative and tapped his hand on the table to give him a pat.
Even the second prince calmed down and waited quietly with his little face raised, as if he understood.
When the eldest prince finished playing the song, the emperor smiled and clapped his hands and praised: "This Yueming song is really good.
Have you practiced it specially?"
The eldest prince nodded and said, "I've been practicing for more than ten days, but I'm still not very good at playing."
According to Xie Ning's ears, apart from being weaker, the blowing was indeed very pleasant.
Princess Yuyao jumped off the chair, walked to the eldest prince and grabbed the tassel on his flute.
The eldest prince handed the flute into her hands and let her play with it.
The emperor asked someone to take paper and pen to write a poem, and Xie Ning also told a story about the Mid-Autumn Festival that was circulated in his hometown.

I was afraid that the children would catch cold, so after admiring the moon for a while, I quickly had someone take them back to the house.
The second prince became more and more energetic as he played.
Someone found a deck of crescent cards.
He grabbed several of them and threw them in his hand, gurgling with joy as he listened to the tinkling sounds.
He was happy, but Qing He and others didn't dare to relax and stared at him for a moment.
This crescent moon medallion is exquisitely carved, and there is nothing to worry about when playing with it.
The only fear is that someone who can't see it will stuff it into his mouth and swallow it.
Fortunately, the second prince doesn't seem to have any intention of tasting it.
After finally coaxing him to sleep, the Yong'an Palace finally became quiet.
Xie Ning and the emperor sat leaning against each other under the window, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window.
No one said a word at this moment.
These days are so busy that it is rare to have such a quiet moment.
Xie Ning originally had a lot to say, but he was too lazy to say it at this time, nor did he want to break the tranquility of this moment.
Let's leave those tedious and annoying things until tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and during the day.
She didn't want to mention those things at this time.
This moment only belongs to the two of them, and it belongs to such a beautiful moonlight.
The emperor's fingers were entangled with a lock of her hair, tightening it, loosening it, then tightening it again, and so on, never getting tired of it.
“Want to go out for a walk?”
Xie Ning shook his head and leaned into the emperor's arms.
If they go out, he is the emperor and she is the concubine.
The two of them have to distinguish their superiority and inferiority.
It is impossible for them to be so close to each other like now, with no gap at all.
The emperor held her in his arms and asked softly after a moment: "Is this how ordinary people celebrate the holidays?"
"It's much more lively."
Xie Ning whispered: "When we were at my uncle's house, my cousins wouldn't sit there until the banquet was over.
They would always go out to have fun early.
My cousins and the others would follow suit.
The sound of crickets turns over stones and grass I can always harvest a few of them in one night.
I keep them secretly and listen to their cries, and they also make the crickets fight with each other.
In fact, adults also know this, but they don’t blame them during the festival and just turn a blind eye.
Pretend you didn’t see it” "Then what do the girls do?"
"When I was young, I would always follow my cousin.
We would pull out some flowers and grass stems and fight with each other.
We would hide them and let someone find them.
We would also fold our handkerchiefs to look like little mice or butterflies and play.
In short, There’s so much variety and it’s not boring at all.”
"I originally wanted to take you to Qinglu Pond for a boat ride on the lake tonight, but I was afraid that it would be too cold at night on the lake and I would be delayed too late."
"That's good."
Xie Ning let out a sigh of relief: "I really want to live like this every year."
This is naturally impossible.
If it hadn't been for such an eventful year this year, we wouldn't have dismissed an important festival in such a deserted manner.
"If you're willing, we can do this every year from now on."
Xie Ning smiled.
Although I knew this was unlikely, I still felt happy when I heard the emperor say this.
"I can't quite remember how we celebrated the festivals in the past years.

It seems to be the same every year, with many people toasting one after another, and the drinks are cold to the mouth.
It was the most unpleasant time at that time.
I like to celebrate festivals, each time becomes more boring.”
Xie Ning has also experienced this kind of situation.
Every time, he has to beat the clock and figure out when to leave.
She had only experienced it a few times, but the emperor had lived like this since he was a child.
Everyone speaks insincerely, wears clothes that represent their identity, and plays a fixed role.
Even the lyrics seem to have been written in advance and repeated year after year. , again and again.
But now that they are together, this moment is so precious and real.
She raised her head slightly.
Through the candle shadow of the screen and the moonlight, the emperor's face looked particularly soft, as if covered with a veil.
Her gaze lingered tenderly on his eyebrows and face.
This look was too ambiguous and too explicit.
Even if the emperor was just a piece of wood, he let her rub it back and forth like this to create sparks.
His hands ran through Xie Ning's hair and held up her face.
Lips and teeth grind together, breaths mingle.
The only fly in the ointment was that Xie Ning raised his head so high that his neck felt sore.
The moonlight filled the quiet courtyard of Yong'an Palace, Underneath her orange-pink shirt, she wore a silver-threaded tube top embroidered with orchids.
Under the moonlight, the narrow silver edge gave off a misty shimmer, and the light was still following her movements.
Breathing rises and falls rapidly.
The emperor's palm seemed to contain a ball of charcoal fire, which was so hot that her heartbeat was in chaos.
"Did you choose this one specially?"
Xie Ning shook his head randomly.
How could she have thought that the moonlight would be so beautiful today?
She just liked this tube top, which was light in color and beautifully embroidered.
At this time, she couldn't think clearly, explain, or find a reasonable way to get rid of this shameful embarrassment.
The moon was so bright that no one could hide.
Her flustered expression gradually turned into intoxication, and she closed her eyes more often, as if this could convince herself that the moonlight was not bright and he could not see her clearly.
But when she occasionally opened her eyes, she could still see his outline and his eyes, which were so bright.
The hanging brass hooks and long tassels of the curtain were shaking, and the whole sky was shaking.
The full moon seemed to be crumbling, 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.
She was in a daze for a long time and her consciousness was not that clear.
The emperor brought her half a glass of water.
She stood up and lowered her head to drink the water in the glass.
The emperor usually doesn't take care of people like this, and he's not that skillful in giving water, so he sprinkled some on the bedside.
Xie Ning asked lazily: "What was put in the water?"
Her voice was a little hoarse and weak.
"Just warm water."
Xie Ning licked his dry and hot lips: "Sweet."
The emperor asked softly: "Really?"
He leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips, and then said, "It's indeed a little sweet."
The next day was sixteen.
Qinghe and the others brought back osmanthus flowers from the imperial garden and put them in vases.
The whole room was filled with the sweet scent of osmanthus flowers.

After smelling it for a long time, I felt that there was still a bit of astringency in this sweet fragrance.
Li Shuling came over to check for pulse, and after seeing it for the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao, Xie Ning specially invited him to come over and talk.
Li Shuling has excellent medical skills and has many contacts.
Xie Ning is also very convinced of him.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is recovering very well.
I heard that she had a tantrum yesterday, and all her emotions came from her heart.
The tantrum is proof that she is getting better."
Xie Ning thanked Li Shuling: "Thanks to Mr.
Li for all your troubles."
"Thank you for being so polite.
I haven't congratulated you yet.
Your Majesty is very happy."
Xie Ning just lowered her head and smiled.
She had heard this too many times these days.
"Since all seven emotions and five senses have returned to normal, will she remember the past?"
Although Princess Yuyao is not too old, she can walk and talk after all, and she should be able to remember things.
Does she remember how much of the people and things in Yanning Palace will gradually come to mind?
Does she know that Concubine Shu is gone long ago?
