Chapter 212： : Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet

A few people sat around the stone table under the pomegranate tree and had a simple but comfortable dinner.

After the meal, Shen Yizhi raised his hand and picked a pomegranate.

Break it open on the spot, peel off the red and tender pomegranate and put it into a crystal bowl.

Nian Nian had never eaten pomegranate before, so she imitated Qing Bao and put the pomegranate into her mouth, and ended up chewing the seeds as well.

Shen Yizhi taught her: "Just bite it gently and let the juice inside flow out. The seeds will be spit out."

This time Nian Nian ate the right food, but she really didn’t like this fruit that didn’t feel full.

After eating a few pills, I stopped moving.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon in the sky is extraordinarily round and bright, hanging in the sky like a slightly shining jade plate.

Shen Yizhi was lying on a large reclining chair, holding Qing Bao and Niannian in his arms, looking at the moon.

But she really doesn’t have any romantic qualities, and she can’t produce poetry like a real ancient person. After reading it for a while, she felt that it was not interesting.

Kun San didn’t talk much. At this time, he just sat quietly by the side.

“Qing Bao, Niannian, let’s play a game, Kun San will also join in.” Shen Yizhi suggested.

The two children happily agreed. Wangwang was not willing to be lonely and came over wagging his tail.

Then two adults, two children and a dog played the game of passing the flower drum.

Imperial capital, royal palace.

Fuyao Palace.

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is being held in the main hall.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion, so everyone here is a member of the royal family. However, Lin Lin finally found out that there were several hundred.

This is still within the fifth level. There are still many who have exceeded the fifth level.

The entire hall is decorated with green carvings and gleaming lights, and is extremely grand and brilliant.

On the left and right sides of the hall stand nine red-lacquered dragon pillars soaring to the sky. The distance between each pillar is about three feet (about 10 meters). At the end of the pillars is a white jade platform with more than thirty steps. The emperor, empress, and The three most noble people in the empire, the Queen Mother, were sitting on it.

There are several thousand-year-old crystal lamps with jade foil and jingle hanging high on the top. This lamp is huge and can be as big as several water tanks. There are dozens of lamp bowls arranged on the lamp, and each lamp bowl is full. Got lamp oil.

The lamp oil is as smooth as grease and is said to have been boiled by sharks from the East China Sea. It is not only bright and warm when burning, but also exudes a light fragrance.

On the walls and dragon columns, there are countless luminous pearls the size of pigeon eggs, which are shining with golden light.

Under the illumination of these thousands-year-old crystal lamps and luminous pearls, the entire hall is as bright as day, and every detail is visible.

At the beginning of the banquet, groups of palace people filed in and served delicious delicacies.

After the dishes were served, the band and dancers from the Jiaofangsi came in. Soothing and solemn music slowly flowed out, and the dancers rose and danced along with the music.

After the solemn and elegant opening dance, the atmosphere on the venue became slightly warmer, followed by a variety of opera performances.

 Various programs such as climbing poles, jumping ropes, handstands, animal taming, shadow plays, sumo wrestling, magic arts, etc. are performed in turn.

Since today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the themes of most programs are more or less related to the moon. Of course, there are also rainbow farts from the top three.

The emperor was so happy that he was so happy.

As the program progressed, the atmosphere in the palace became more and more lively. While people were drinking and drinking, some clan members with wild and uninhibited temperaments even ran to the venue in person to interact with the performers.

Under the white jade steps, the first person sitting on the upper left is Chen Wang Gu Xueting. In order to suit the occasion, he has dressed up more gorgeously than usual today. His long flowing ink-colored hair is spread over his shoulders. His fairy-like appearance becomes more and more beautiful under the light. It's impossible to look at.

The surroundings were bustling and noisy, but his area was deserted and deserted, a world of its own.

He didn't care either. He sat quietly in his seat and watched the performance indifferently.

Looking at the watch on his hand, the time showed a quarter past nine.

Influenced by his knowledge, he is now used to her way of referring to time.

This is indeed a more accurate expression of time.

Although the space inside the palace is vast, the smell of alcohol is still a bit breathtaking.

Gu Xueting stood up and left the table, walked out of the hall, walked slowly along the rockery, lake and rocks, and finally stopped at the edge of the lake, taking out the photo stone in his arms and stroking it.

I wonder when the video will be uploaded? She and Qing Bao must have a wonderful Mid-Autumn Festival tonight, right?

“Brother Xueting.”

There was a soft call from behind.

Gu Xueting turned around, his eyes like the cold moonlight: "What's the matter?"

Pei Yuan wanted to take a few steps closer, but under his gaze, she was unable to take a step forward.

“I saw a fan in Tianbao Pavilion earlier and wanted to buy it. Unexpectedly, the salesman refused to sell it and said that it had already been reserved. As a result, Butler Lin came to pick up the fan.”

The nine-light fan is in the style of a woman. The handle is also decorated with an extremely rare dragon jade. It is round and lovely, with a cold brilliance, and is carved into an exquisite scallop shape.

More importantly, it is said that dragon jade has some miraculous effects.

It is a treasure that is rare even for dragons.

No matter how close the relationship between her and King Chen was rumored to be, only she knew how indifferent this man was, so she did not dare to expect that he bought the nine-light fan as a gift to her.

If it’s not her, then it’s probably the woman who appeared in his bedroom last time!

The thought of someone being the first to get close to this man, the jealousy in her heart was entangled layer by layer, gnawing at her and making her restless day and night.

So even though she knew she shouldn't, she still came, with a coquettish and coquettish tone that she had practiced many times in private: "I like that fan very much. Brother Xue Ting, can you give it to me?"

Gu Xueting's eyes remained calm: "Is this your third condition?"

Pei Yuan was shocked and subconsciously denied: "No!"

So, what else is there to say?

Gu Xueting did not say these words, but his expression revealed this.

Pei Yuan was still unwilling to give in and asked tentatively: "Brother Xue Ting has never been interested in these things in the past, why this time..."

Gu Xueting collects various objects that women may like, so he naturally does not make a big deal about it, but this time the Nine Light Fan happened to be caught by Pei Yuan.

“Miss Pei Qi, this is not your concern.”

As soon as Gu Xueting finished speaking, the photo stone in his arms suddenly vibrated slightly.

coming!

He had no intention of getting entangled with Pei Yuan anymore and strode away.

Even not attending the palace banquet, he directly complained to the emperor and left the palace early to return home.

Pei Yuan looked at his hurried away figure with twinkling eyes. What was he going to do in such a hurry to leave?

In the main hall, the fifth prince arrived belatedly at this time.

The fifth prince was born to Concubine Mei, who was named because of her love for plum blossoms. Her temperament was as proud and noble as plum blossoms, but the son she gave birth to was a bit unflattering.
