Chapter 719: Mid-Autumn Banquet

"Spring" goes to autumn, and time passes quietly. .When Li Quan came back to his senses, he no longer knew how many years he had been in this world.Thinking back to the last Mid-Autumn Festival, it was still a full moon for my daughter in Bizhou!

It is difficult to feel the festive atmosphere if you don't experience it carefully. Knowing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Li Quan suddenly found that the people in Beijing became busy, and there were more Mid-Autumn items such as moon cakes on the stalls of small vendors.

Of course, the Li family can't be idle either. In a large family of several hundred people, it is natural to prepare well for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the day of the festival, Li Xian was the happiest, because not only could he see the lights and festoons at home today, but it was said that he would go to the palace with his parents to play at night.

The little girl was so excited that she flew around the house like a chick spreading its wings.

Worshiping gods, offering incense, eating mooncakes...

All the customs that should be there are indispensable.

Sitting in the compound, having dinner with hundreds of servants, seeing such a large family, Li Quan also felt a lot.

Suddenly, Li Quan seemed to have thought of something, and patted An Xinhe's shoulder: "Madam, did we do this last year?"

"Last year?" An Xinhe thought for a while, "I don't think I came to the capital last year, did I?"

Li Quan patted his forehead: "That's right! No wonder I didn't feel the festive atmosphere before. It's better to be lively!"

An Xinhe smiled sweetly: "If the master likes it, we will be so lively no matter what the solar term is."

"it is good!"

Just as she was talking, An Xinhe suddenly turned her head and saw that the Tang Yintao on top of the rice and wine on the table had disappeared, she shifted her gaze to the little girl next to her: "There are no rules 9 no dinner, who told you to do this? Go down and stand ! No food allowed!"

An Xinhe's words were serious, Li Xian looked aggrieved, and looked at Li Quan with red eyes: "Father..."

The little girl was about to collapse, Li Quan hurriedly hugged her over, and said to An Xinhe, "Madam, why are you so serious, dutiful son?"

"Master, you..."

Halfway through the conversation, An Xinhe found that the master didn't pay attention to her, so she shook her head helplessly.

"Xian, what do you want to eat? Dad will pick it up for you."

The little girl held her finger in her mouth, looked at the table greedily, and reluctantly turned her little head to the side: "Forget it, mother will be angry."

The cuteness of the little girl made Li Quan's heart soften, and he got up and said: "Okay, everyone, don't wait, move your chopsticks."

Everyone has not yet arrived, but the master has already spoken, and the servants are rarely lively, so they all act quickly.

"Okay, everyone is eating, so hurry up and do whatever you want."

Li Xian looked at his mother, saw that the other party nodded, and began to choose his favorite one with a happy expression.

Where Li Xian is present, the 'chicken' and 'legs', 'chicken' wings, fish mouth and 'lips' are all pre-ordered by her.Even the servants knew Daxiu's preferences, many clever servants offered to please Daxiu with the 'chicken' wings from their table.This big show is also not rejecting anyone who comes, and accepts them all, with a small mouth that never stops.

Li Quan frowned, and couldn't help reminding: "Hey, you girl, eat less, what will you eat when you arrive at the palace at night? The food there is much better than ours."

"Really?"

Li Quan pretended to be mysterious and said: "Of course it is true! That is the emperor!"

Li Xian was attracted, and put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Then I won't eat, and go to the palace to eat at night!"

Seeing the father and daughter murmuring, An Xinhe frowned uncomfortably, thinking that the place she was going to at night was the palace, and this pair of living treasures would not do anything out of the ordinary, right?

……

……

In a blink of an eye, night falls, the moon is shining in the sky, there are lanterns and festoons inside and outside the capital, lantern riddles all the way, colorful 'flowers' all the way...

Large and small carriages squeezed through the crowd and gathered on Huangcheng Avenue, and entered the palace sparsely.

Li Quan's family was among them.

Inside the frame, Li Quan sat with his eyes closed, while An Xinhe and Li Xian, who were traveling together, looked out of the car curiously.This is the first time for the mother and daughter to enter the palace, and it is the same feeling as Li Quan's first time entering the palace.

An Xinhe is the eldest wife of the Li family, although she was surprised, she did not show it, her body did not move, she just looked around with her eyes.Today's An Xinhe is exceptionally beautiful, wearing white half-arms with powder, and pink apricots on her shoulders, echoing up and down, 'revealing' her white and tender neck and chest|'chest', her clavicle can obviously break her clothes The body is so unbearable, it makes people feel pity.Although An Xinhe was beautiful, she didn't have any valuable decorations on her body, and there were a few simple 'flowers' on her simple hair bun.Li Quan asked her why she was like this, and the other party only said that today she was going to share the stage with the emperor's concubine, how could he take the glory of the emperor's concubine?

Listening to his explanation, Li Quan couldn't help laughing, and joked: "Even if Madam doesn't wear gold and silver, she still has to be perfect. How can the emperor's Yingying Yanyan compare with Madam?"

Li Quan looked at An Xinhe, and recalled the situation when he left the 'door', the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his wife was so beautiful that he couldn't help but press her little head on his shoulder.

An Xinhe was a little shy and pursed her lips, indicating that her daughter was still there.Li Quan didn't care, and Li Xian was not paying attention in the car, looking at the various buildings in the palace, talking to himself without knowing what he was talking about.

In order to welcome this Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing, the palace has also been decorated, with "flower" lights along the way to open the way, neatly lined up on both sides, to guide every minister entering the palace.The flames echoed with the starlight in the night sky, like a fire dragon in the dark stretching far, far away.

Among today's invited guests, apart from the ministers, they are members of the royal family, none other than Li Yuan and Prince Jing.Among those invited, only three could bring their wives and children, the first two were Prince Jing and Li Yuan, and Li Quan was the last one.It can be seen that the emperor has already regarded Li Quan as a royal family member.

This is a rare honor, and it is also an attitude of the emperor.

The carriage followed the lights to the depths of the palace, and finally found that the place where you watched the moon was under the tallest and most mysterious tower in the palace.

Li Quan noticed the tower a long time ago, and asked some palace people what the name of the tower was.Most people said they didn't know, and some said they didn't have a name. When they got to the tower today, Li Quan found that the tower really didn't have a name, and there was no plaque at the entrance, let alone a name.

The whole tower feels pitch black in the dark night, like a huge iron pillar standing there, even the moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival can't shine a little color.And the tower is extremely high, 30 meters high.In this era, it can definitely be regarded as a miracle for mankind. I don't know how much manpower and material resources were consumed.

But the place to watch the moon is not in the tower, the tower has limited space and cannot accommodate so many people.Therefore, the next best thing is to watch the moon on the high platform outside the tower head.

Even the high platform under the tower rises seven or eight meters from the ground, which is far higher than the surrounding buildings. People in it have a very wide view without any shelter. Looking at the moon, it seems that the moon is close in front of them. Just reach out and pull out the moon. .

The high platform is wide, 30 to [-] meters, enough to accommodate thousands of people. Fine wine has already been prepared on it, and the court ladies in uniforms are carrying plates and putting dishes and snacks on each table one by one.

When Li Quan arrived on the high platform, he saw some ministers sitting sparsely on it, and there were still many vacancies.Just as he was about to find a place to sit down, he thanked the ministers for coming up to greet them. Li Quan met them one by one, and then a father-in-law came up and led Li Quan to sit in the front seat.

An Xinhe took her daughter and sat beside Li Quan. Li Quan patted her on the shoulder, hugged her waist tightly, and the two got closer.

It was the first time for the master to be such a big official, An Xinhe faced this kind of sincerity, she seemed a little nervous, frowned by Li Quan's intimate actions, and looked around worriedly, for fear of being seen by others.

Li Quan was very casual, unscrupulously scanning the chests of the court ladies who were about to burst, as if estimating the size of each court lady.

"Master..." An Xinhe called out.

Li Quan also said that his wife had seen through his thoughts, and he was startled, so he quickly retracted his eyes and said haha: "Look, madam, the emperor's pomp is different, tsk tsk!"

"Master, I...I mean, I'm a little worried. Will the emperor talk to this concubine later? In front of so many people, what if I speak badly?"

Li Quan smiled, and gently held Xin He's hand: "Don't worry, Madam just opens her mouth, it will be misty and rainy, and everyone will be moved when they hear it. What I'm worried about is, stay a while What should the emperor's concubine feel jealous when she sees his wife?"

An Xinhe suppressed her smile, and glared at Li Quan angrily: "What time is it? Are you still talking nonsense here?"
