In the blink of an eye, in August of the thirteenth year of Yuanhe, the Holy Qianqiu Festival arrived.

The inner city of Shangjing City was decorated with lights and colorful lights everywhere, making it festive and lively.

In the Huangji Hall, a eunuch stood three steps away, holding a -foot-long silk painting of the Ten Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers. The picture is meticulous and meticulous. The vast rivers and undulating mountains form a wonderful picture of mountains and rivers. Fishing villages, wild markets, waterside pavilions, thatched cottages, long water mill bridges and other quiet scenes are interspersed with fishing, boating, playing, etc. Going to the market and other dynamic scenes, the combination of movement and stillness is just right. (Excerpted from Appreciation of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains)

All the ministers congratulated Emperor Renzong on the excellent painting. The painting garden is full of talents. Zhu Chenggong is worthy of being the first master of Daqi~

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood aside, with a smile on his face and a graceful demeanor. The second and third princes who attacked him were also upright, showing good royal genes.

Emperor Renzong was also very satisfied and ordered Eunuch Debao to bring out the jade seal passed down to the country and his private seal. He was full of pride and couldn't help praising the canvas. He stared at the canvas and whispered to Zhu Chenggong from time to time. In the end, he was very cautious. It has to be stamped with a jade seal and a private seal, and this is a masterpiece that will be handed down from generation to generation.

Mr. Yan Ge and Zuo Xiang came forward to join in the fun. Zuo Xiang was also a cultural celebrity with both virtue and art. He personally wrote the preface and stamped it with his private seal. The masterpiece painted by the emperor and his ministers in August of the thirteenth year of the Great Qi Dynasty is destined to be immortal. .

Renzong was in great spirits and was in a high mood. He led his ministers to Huaqing Palace and climbed to the observation tower. Huaqing Palace suddenly came into view. Outside the palace walls, people lined up waiting to distribute rice and grain. Everyone was in high spirits. , happier than the Chinese New Year, buzzing and bustling.

This year has been full of ups and downs, and it seems that he can't survive without rice to cook. The fatuous emperor finally became a human being and knew how to care for the people, regardless of the festival. The emperor's conscience has been discovered, and there is hope for the future. Well, ordinary people are all honest and responsible. Anyone who stutters will not be forced into desperation. Who wants to rebel with his head in his trousers?

Therefore, as soon as Renzong's fat body was exposed, the people shouted, "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor~"

That cry was full of excitement and tears, begging Renzong not to cramp, and he would fall out of favor tomorrow. The feelings were sincere and warm, pure and simple, and Renzong's Bodhisattva heart, which had never known the world for thousands of years, was warmly shouted. Look, how much my people love him. Support me! What the people's aspirations are in these thousands of miles of land!

Renzong waved to the people excitedly, which made the people even more excited. Hey, you old man, be a good person and work hard to benefit the people! Stop tossing us in such a stupid way!

The singing and dancing performance began, with the sound of drums, delicious wine and delicious food, Renzong was still excited about being admired by everyone. Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Yao Ge gathered around Renzong like flies and there was another burst of rainbow farts, which made Renzong so happy that he couldn't find the north. !

Zhu Chenggong and Cheng Deqing stood aside to accompany them. Listening to the series of rainbow farts, they couldn't help but feel sore and dizzy. Yao Ge looked steady and dignified, and his ability to flatter others was really unrivaled by Daqi!

Emperor Renzong was so interested that he called Cheng Deqing and said, "Cheng Aiqing, you are so thoughtful that you can write a poem about this Thousand Autumn Festival."

Cheng Deqing bowed and saluted, "I obey your order!"

The eunuch brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Mr. Zuo Xiang simply took the pen and joked, "Your Majesty, let the number one scholar read it out, and I will write it."

Emperor Renzong liked to see the scenes of the emperor and his ministers having fun and celebrating peace. He nodded with joy and said, "I love you so much~"

Cheng Deqing meditated for a moment, and as soon as his literary talent hit him, he recited loudly:

The five virtues will give birth to a king, and a thousand years of age will lead to a saint. The red light comes to illuminate the night, and the yellow clouds cover the morning.

Haixian County has a long-lasting title, and the court chapter presents new dances. He came out from the imperial throne, flanked by officials.

The stick washes the scenery, the chime tube condenses the autumn rain. The bead bag contains auspicious dew, and the golden mirror holds the fairy wheel.

How old is there no country to drink from, and no land to repay God. Xun's songs and famous festivals are passed down from generation to generation to all ministers.

They are all educated people who have passed the imperial examination, and they still have the ability to appreciate. After hearing this, all the ministers clapped their hands and applauded. Emperor Renzong also nodded. Emperor Renzong looked at the rice paper with the ink still wet, raised his hands and praised, "Ai Qing The literary talent is outstanding and wonderful. Someone came to frame this poem and hang it in the inner study. But what is the title for?"

Cheng Deqing walked up to the case and looked at the black words on the rice paper with great interest, "Let's call it "Fenghe Shengzhi Qianqiu Festival Feast Yingzhi"

When Emperor Renzong and all the officials heard this, they all burst out laughing. Mr. Cheng was also a man who liked to save trouble. He had already published this splendid poem, so why couldn't he give up a resounding title?

Cheng Deqing just smiled and said nothing.

Emperor Renzong’s original intention was to highlight the uniqueness of this year’s Qianqiu Festival, so the title was appropriate to the occasion, which made him feel happy.

Drinking and drinking, singing and dancing, Emperor Renzong narrowed his eyes and watched the singers dancing in the palace. He was in a very happy and wonderful mood to celebrate his birthday.

In the side hall of Huaqing Palace, the back seat is vacant. Concubine Lin is staying in the palace because of illness, and the Crown Princess entertains the wives of hundreds of officials.

The Crown Princess is gentle and graceful. She sits on a high throne and talks with the ladies on both sides with a soft face.

Liu Yunniang held the teacup and took a sneak peek while drinking tea. She saw Mrs. Yan on the left and the elegant wife on the right. Her facial features were somewhat similar to those of the Crown Princess, so she thought about it and figured it out. , looking at her age, she might be Mrs. Yanenhou.

Liu Yunniang also saw the head of Fu'an County. She held her belly and saw Liu Yunniang looking over, and deliberately turned her head...

Miss Yan had sharp eyes. When she saw Liu Yunniang, she glared at Liu Yunniang fiercely, then turned to talk to Miss Wang next to her.

Liu Yunniang was sitting with the wives of the Hanlin Academy. The wife of Gao Gong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, took great care of her, as if she were a junior. She also knew that Liu Yunniang was full of poetic talents. The young lady of the Gao family took Liu Yunniang and discussed it very seriously. How to become a talented woman.

After all, it was the Qianqiu Festival of Emperor Renzong, and no one was bored enough to stir up trouble on such an occasion. They all laughed and chatted while watching the song and dance performance.

During the banquet, there was naturally a lot of flattery. The Crown Princess listened to Mrs. Yao's eloquent flattery without showing any signs of boredom in her heart. She looked down and saw that the Lord of Fu'an County was pregnant, and the wife of the Cheng family was also pregnant, so she specially announced it.

She had been married for half a year and had sex with the prince frequently, but she had never been pregnant. The prince did not urge her, but as a prince, it was always unstable without heirs, so the princess felt a little anxious.

The Lord of Fu'an County and Liu Yunniang bowed their knees and saluted. The Crown Princess hurriedly said with a smile that they were exempt from the ceremony, and then asked the two of them to come forward and ask her to take a closer look.

Mrs. Yanenhou, the mother of the Crown Princess, frowned secretly and felt anxious. She stood up, smiled and said to the two of them, "Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Shizi must have the same month. My belly looks like It’s normal time.”

Mrs. Jingyang Hou was outspoken and beaming, "Yes, Fu'an has been more than six months old, and I will have a grandson in three more months!"

Mrs. Hou Tai of Jingyang was sitting in the row in front of her. She turned around and glared at her, then hurriedly answered, "This child!" The woman finally has the honor to see her grandfather."

Mrs. Yanenhou felt relieved in her heart. The Jingyang Hou family had been waiting for a child for generations, but now that they had it, she was indeed relieved.

Everyone smiled and congratulated Mrs. Jingyang Hou Tai for holding her great-grandson, and then looked at the smiling Liu Yunniang.

Cheng Deqing is a celebrity in the imperial court, and wherever Liu Yunniang goes, everyone can't help but look at her secretly. The princess smiled and said, "Ms. Cheng, the song "The Road Is Difficult" that I did last time was very inspiring. I must have read a lot of Cheng's poems and books. , I wonder what Mrs. Cheng does on weekdays?"

Liu Yunniang bowed and sat on the chair brought by her mother-in-law, facing the Crown Princess. She felt a little restrained, but thinking that so many ladies gathered together, it was a pity not to advertise at such a good opportunity.

After all, she couldn't hold back her little urge to make money, and smiled and reported to the Crown Princess, "I can't sit around at home, so I often go shopping in book shops. I heard that the old Caomen, next to Fan Tower, has a new one. There is a theater called Liyuan. The place is bright and spacious, and the decoration is grand and airy. The plays hosted by famous actors are sure to be very popular."

Miss Yan was walking around the streets and already knew about this opera house. When Liu Yunniang said it, she couldn't help but interrupt, "I heard that there will be a performance later this month? Mrs. Cheng is very well-informed." This time after she went to Fanlou for a drink, she inadvertently When he went in, he saw Zhu Chenggong standing there.

Liu Yunniang smiled and said, "Ms. Yan, have you heard about it too? Exactly, the reputation is very loud, and I am urging my husband to grab tickets."

The ladies got excited, and a lady interrupted, "Is this theater that has just opened a show so popular?" There are so many Goulan Theaters in the capital. Anyone who wants to listen to a show can invite people back to the house and sing all night long. Okay, what more tickets are there to grab?

Liu Yunniang covered her mouth and said with a smile, "It's said to be a new play, "The Peacock Flies Southwest", "This is How I See My Cousin", etc., which we don't usually have, so I'm trying to make it fresh."

The mayor of Fu'an County and Miss Wang and other young girls were all delighted after reading the storybooks. These storybooks are very interesting. How about putting them into a play?

It would be great if Pu Yun was born to play the male lead. He would be handsome, suave and extraordinary! I haven’t been out for a few days. When will the pear orchard open? I have to let the girl go and have a look~

The Crown Princess, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yanenhou had obviously not read the script. Mrs. Yanenhou asked, "I have never heard of "The Peacock Flies Southwest" and "This Is How I See My Cousin". When will the new ones be released? Excerpts from an opera? I just invited an opera troupe to my house the other day, but I’ve never heard of it.”

Miss Yan said quickly, "Madam, I do know this. This is originally a script passed down from Shi'an, Jiangnan. It is very famous there, and gradually spread to Beijing. I have also read it. It is very beautiful. I still have it in my home." I got the book, and this Liyuan said that I got the manuscript and got the author’s permission to put it into a play. Princess, this Liyuan seems to be written by Zhu Chenggong.”

Mrs. Yan quickly stood up and begged for mercy, while glaring at Mrs. Yan. This careless woman was now in front of the Crown Princess!

The Crown Princess gently advised, "Aunt Yan is innocent and frank, and very lovable."

When all the ladies heard this, they thought, Mr. Zhu Cheng, their hearts were enlightened. For such an amazing and talented person, there is no need to doubt that this play must be good.

Several young ladies had already thought about it and asked their husbands-in-law to grab some tickets. As they spoke, they secretly glanced at Mrs. Cheng, "Ms. Cheng, you should tell me clearly where to grab tickets."

Liu Yunniang achieved her goal and was in a very happy mood. She also revealed a pair of cunning dimples to the beautiful and noble Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess looked at her as sweet as a peach and her whole body was filled with fragrance. She couldn't help but sigh softly, "The number one scholar is interested in grabbing tickets for my wife~"

Liu Yunniang pretended to be innocent and naive, "I treat him very well~"

All the ladies were stunned, and they all covered their mouths and smiled reservedly. The newly married lady was full of shyness, but the older lady was more meaningful.

Mrs. Zhu Guogong also had a smile on her face. She looked at Mrs. Cheng playing tricks and thought of Princess Wen Hui who had not left the palace, and her eyes darkened.

After three rounds of drinking, the singing and dancing stopped, the female officer in charge lit the lamp, and the princess stood up, ""Shang Shu Zhengyi" said: "Sensitive and gentle, dew and courteous, protecting the people, benefiting the fresh and widowed. Long live today, pray for the country, Please help me, ladies."

The ladies understood each other tacitly, and hurriedly knelt down and agreed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Liu Yunniang and the head of Fu'an County were helped by the mother-in-law to avoid saluting.

All the ladies came well prepared. The Crown Princess first donated fifty thousand taels of silver. Old Madam Yan did not dare to overstep her authority and donated thirty thousand taels. Mrs. Zhu Guogong donated thirty thousand taels. Women of the fourth rank and above in the capital, as well as women with internal orders, Wu A room full of people donated more than two million taels in one go.

The eunuch on the side sang, "Lin Haichao, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, five thousand taels~" The palace maid who kept the accounts didn't even move her eyebrows. She held a pen in one hand and the desk with the other, writing down the accounts quickly, and turned over several pages of rice paper in a while.

Liu Yunniang followed Mrs. Gong and donated five thousand taels.

The Crown Princess saluted to heaven again, thanking all ladies for their kindness on behalf of the people.

Ladies, you don't even dare to say a word. It is your honor to share your worries with your Majesty.

In the front hall, the emperor, as the birthday boy, Lafayette, there was no one who was short-sighted and spoiled the fun. They all rushed to say a series of good words for free, touting Emperor Renzong to the point where he almost thought he was Taizu, who was equally famous and famous. Save the common people,

He was so happy that he forgot all about it. Fortunately, he still had a trace of clarity. He waved his hands repeatedly and did not dare to compete with Taizu. He patted his chest and tried to be half as satisfied as Taizu when he was in his prime.

The prince stood aside, with a face as gentle as jade and a sneer in his heart.

Wen Zhonghan...Your Majesty, where is your face?

Cao Lu...if today was not a good day for you, I would definitely jump out and make you sober.

Master Zuo Quan stroked his beard and sighed in his heart, as long as the emperor still follows the example of Taizu, then he is not invincible, Daqi is still strong, come on, come on.

Fireworks were set off again at Huaqing Palace at night, and the people playing in the palace were in a wonderful mood. Through the palace wall, they shouted long live the emperor, long live long live~

Renzong was so happy that his eyebrows jumped, and Emperor Renzong's vanity was greatly satisfied~

This Thousand Autumn Festival is a special and meaningful time. Emperor Renzong secretly made up his mind to be a good emperor who will be remembered forever and be praised by history books!
