It is already late autumn, and the lush green leaves of Jiuman Mountain are interspersed with patches of red leaves, as bright as fire. Those touches of red looked like blood in Qin Jiu's eyes. Arriving at Mingyue Villa, Qin Jiu followed Concubine Hui to rest in Hanxiang Garden where she lived.
When dusk approached, Emperor Qing gave a banquet. Qin Jiu followed Concubine Hui out of Hanxiang Garden and headed north to the Moon Pagoda. The Moon Pagoda is about six stories high and is a place to climb up and admire the moon. Surrounded by green trees, the eaves of the tower stick out from the red leaves, like the wings of a bird. The square in front of the Moon Tower is the place for the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet.
Qin Jiu remembers the scene when she came here for the first time to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival feast: Jin Wuwei and Xiaoqi stood on one side with swords, music was set up in Si Le Fang, singing and dancing in Si Wu Fang, and various folk acrobatics were performed one by one. Donkeys, returning home, zip-lining, acrobatics, and even circus, with trained monkeys playing drums, bears riding bicycles, and some rare animals such as elephants and rhinos, all decked out in jewels and jewels. After watching these shows, when the moon rises high, Emperor Qing and his concubines will climb to the moon-holding tower on one side to admire the moon.
Qin Jiu followed Concubine Hui into the square and saw that the square was crowded and many people were already seated. The ground of the square is covered with a gorgeous carpet woven with gold threads. Twenty-four pairs of glazed palace lanterns are hung on the trees on one side. The four corners and open space are filled with various seasonal flowers, especially chrysanthemums, arranged in various shapes. Various auspicious patterns.
There is a seat at the top of the northernmost part, which is a red sandalwood throne carved with dragon patterns, which is set for the emperor. There are two red sandalwood seats on his left and right hands respectively, which are seats for King Anling and King Yan, and below them are seats for several courtiers. Only a small half of the courtiers came to Mingyue Villa tonight, and most of the courtiers stayed in the capital.
The seats of the female family members are on the side of the emperor's seat, separated from the men's seat by a screen. In front of it are two imperial concubine couches with carved lotus flowers in red sandalwood, which are the seats for Concubine Xian and Concubine Hui. There are two rows of red sandalwood seats underneath. There are various cushions and pillows on the floor. There are cups, chopsticks, stove bottles and other items on the table, and there is a carved lacquer box in front of each seat.
On the female side, many people were already seated. Concubine Hui walked to her table and sat down, letting Qin Jiu sit beside her. Because it was a grand banquet, the concubines and officials' families who came to attend were all dressed in fancy clothes. Looking around, they saw a riot of purple and red, which was even more gorgeous than the flowers in the garden. This extravagance almost made the moon in the sky eclipse.
Soon after Qin Jiu sat down, Yan Su's mother, Concubine Xian, arrived. She is not wearing plain clothes like a Taoist nun like last time. Tonight she is wearing a scarlet gold silk embroidered lotus pattern robe, paired with a palace skirt of the same color, and a large golden phoenix hairpin with a phoenix mouth inserted into her bun. Holding a green beaded pendant in his mouth, it swayed in front of his forehead, the light and shadow flowing. This outfit made Concubine Xian's gentle and gentle face look a bit more powerful and noble.
Qin Jiu originally thought that Concubine Xian would stay in the capital tonight, because if Yan Su caused trouble tonight, he would not let his mother and concubine get involved. After all, this is treasonous and extremely dangerous. But Concubine Xian has arrived anyway. Could it be that all this is just her own guess?
Concubine Hui greeted with a smile: "The way my sister is dressed today makes me almost unrecognizable. It turns out that sister can be so noble and dignified!" On the surface, this sentence was praising Concubine Xian, but in fact, it was secretly mocking Concubine Xian. On weekdays, he is shabby and petty.
Concubine Xian didn't feel annoyed at all and smiled gently, as if she didn't hear Concubine Hui's sarcasm at all. However, the nun behind her glanced at Concubine Hui's pink and blue court dress and said to Concubine Xian: "I see that Concubine Hui's outfit is extremely unique. It looks like the way Concubine Hui looked when she first entered the capital."
It was many years ago when Concubine Hui first entered Beijing. She should have looked much younger at that time. The old mama replied to Concubine Hui calmly, which means that you are much older now.
Concubine Hui's face changed slightly, but she seemed to be in a difficult mood in front of many officials, family members and concubines. In the end, she just said lightly: "I hope my sister's nobility can last forever."
Qin Jiu had a faint sneer on her lips, and when she heard Concubine Hui's last words, her heart sank. The reason why she followed Concubine Hui tonight was because she wanted to find out about Lian Yuren's movements. Unfortunately, Concubine Hui didn't know whether she didn't know, or she deliberately kept it from her, so she didn't say anything about it. But at this moment, the common quarrel between her and Concubine Xian made Qin Jiu feel more alert. Concubine Hui's tone was obviously self-satisfied, as if she was sure that Concubine Xian's nobility would not last long.
Lin Zhaoyuan, who was sitting under Concubine Xian, smiled and said, "Both sisters are naturally noble."
At this moment, Emperor Qing arrived and the banquet began. All of a sudden, all kinds of delicacies and delicacies were laid out like running water, and the maids shuttled between them, pouring wine and serving dishes for everyone. The square is filled with the sweet aroma of food. On the high platform set up in the open space to the south, various acrobatics were being carried out lively.
At this time, the bright moon has risen. Looking up, I can see a round ice disk wandering in the undulating curves of the mountains, and the faint clear light flows silently between the sky and the earth like a tide. The silence in the sky was in sharp contrast to the bustle on the ground.
On the high platform, the jugglers have retired and replaced by opera. An old student, dressed in costume, sang a tune leisurely, with a rough and slightly hoarse voice. Qin Jiu felt vaguely that the voice was familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. You know, this unique rough voice is rare. However, she couldn't remember it for a moment.
Qin Jiu frowned and asked the palace maid behind him, "Is this opera singer from the palace's opera troupe?"
The palace maid shook her head and replied: "It's not from the palace, I heard it's a rejuvenation class."
The rejuvenation troupe of Fengming Pavilion is the troupe where Yan Yu went to sing opera. Qin Jiu suddenly remembered that this old student with a rough voice was Master Liao, the head teacher of the rejuvenation class. Although she had not seen him that day, she had heard his voice. Yan Yu actually brought the rejuvenation class in. Presumably, the rejuvenation class is also his people.
After the feast lasted for an hour, Emperor Qing, accompanied by several concubines, climbed onto the Moon Tower. Qin Jiu was not the concubine of Emperor Qing, so she had no chance to follow him. Concubine Xian returned to Ningxinyuan, where she lived temporarily in Mingyue Villa, on the pretext that she wanted to go back to chant the Buddha's name, but she did not follow her.
Qin Jiu watched as all the maids came up, surrounded by Emperor Qing and his concubines. Qin Jiu knew that there were people in plain clothes among the maids, so he was not worried.
After the feast, all the courtiers in the square drove back to Beijing. There were also several elderly and infirm ministers and their families who, with the special permission of Emperor Qing, stayed in a courtyard of Mingyue Villa, including Durian.
Qin Jiu issued a death order and ordered the Suyi Bureau to secretly protect Durian and not let him make any mistakes. She stood on one side of the square and saw the people in the square disperse, but nothing unusual happened. Not far above the head, bursts of piano music came from the Moon Pagoda. This clanging piano music was majestic and had the power of the bright moon shining on the river. It could not be played except by Xiao Lebai, the chief music composer. Emperor Qing did not let Xiao Lebai play music in the square just now. It turned out that he wanted to stay at the end and enjoy it alone.
On the 15th, the moon is full, and it should also be a day for people to reunite.
Qin Jiu looked at the bright ice plate in the distance, and felt that it was so round and sad, making people unable to feel the charm of the full moon.
On the distant tower, the sound of the piano reached its peak, and there was a faint noise coming along with the wind. The sound was not loud, and would be difficult to detect unless someone was practicing martial arts.
It looked like Yan Su had started. Qin Jiu's brows condensed, and a sharp look flashed across his eyes. She turned around suddenly, but her eyes suddenly focused.
Not far ahead, Yan Suzheng led several Jinwu guards and walked quickly towards here.
In Mingyue Villa, most of them are the heroic cavalry of the great commander Yuan Ba. The five thousand Jinwu guards under Yan Su can only defend on the outside of Mingyue Villa and cannot enter the Villa. But Yan Su can bring several Jinwu guards with him.
Qin Jiu squinted as she watched Yan Su getting closer and closer, until she stopped not far from her.
The moonlight flowed down from his shoulders like water, and the white robe glowed with a cold and lonely light under the moonlight. He turned his head, his cold face was facing Qin Jiu, his eyes slid across Qin Jiu's face, and he asked lightly: "Nine masters, on the day of Su Qingting's trial, I asked you to go to Linglong Pavilion for a talk, why didn't you go? ?¡±
Qin Jiu didn¡¯t expect that Yan Su would ask such a question at this time. She smiled sweetly and said, "Does it mean that if the prince wants to talk to me, I have to go?"
Yan Su glanced at the people from the Tianchen Sect behind Qin Jiu, narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Jiu and I have something to say, could you please lend me a moment?"
Qin Jiu smiled lazily, "Okay, why not come to this tower!"
The two stopped in the first floor of the Moon Tower. Qin Jiu only stood at the door and stopped moving forward. Yan Su glanced at her and walked to the window. The moonlight outside was clear and bright, covering his handsome eyebrows. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "I have something unknown. Before Su Qing's case is tried, you can Knowing that Su Qing is smuggling with the Tianchen Sect, why do you want to expose his affairs? Are you not afraid that this matter will implicate the Tianchen Sect? Also, do you know that this matter will implicate the Bai family case? "
"Is this important?" Qin Jiu said with a lazy smile.
Yan Su¡¯s gaze passed over her enchanting squinting eyes, ¡°It¡¯s very important.¡±
Qin Jiu smiled softly and said: "Of course I knew that the smuggling case involved the Tianchen Sect, but I also expected that the Holy Emperor would not do anything to the Tianchen Sect? It turned out that I was right. As for the Bai family, case¡¡"
Qin Jiu glanced at Yan Su with eyebrows and saw that his face was still indifferent, so he smiled and said: "I am a member of the Tianchen Sect, and the Bai family case has nothing to do with me. I knew it would be involved in this case, and I didn't know it. Is there any difference?"
Yan Su stared at the charming smile on Qin Jiu's lips that bloomed like a night flower, and a self-deprecating smile gradually appeared on the corners of her lips.
Qin Jiu lazily asked: "Is your Highness okay? Can I go out?"
Yan Su didn¡¯t answer, Qin Jiu turned around and walked down the steps. In my ears, I heard Yan Su's sharp voice coming from behind me, "Tianchen Sect has caused rebellion, and Jinwu Guards are ordered to come to capture the thieves and protect them."
