Your Majesty has a white moonlight

On the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the emperor invited his ministers to enjoy the full moon.

For the palace, this day is not only the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also the birthday of the eldest princess.When the emperor was a prince, he had a concubine, but the concubine died early before she had any children, and she has not been crowned since she became the throne.Later, the emperor seemed to favor Concubine Zhao, so Concubine Zhao gave birth to the emperor's first child.

The day of delivery was the night of August [-]th, and the moon was shining brightly. Everyone was looking forward to this child, and they were busy taking care of it inside and out.But when she was born, she was a princess.For a while, several families were happy and some were sad, but after all, it was the first child, and because it was born on a moonlit night during the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone said it was a good omen.Concubine Zhao was not worried at all, she had another dragon species in the second year, and this time she really was a prince.

Because of this, the eldest princess later got a title called Chanjuan, and her nickname was also called Yuchan.

The Zhao family became very prosperous because of this, but the emperor did not treat the Zhao family particularly favorably because of this, but allowed to come to the palace to reunite with the noble concubine every Mid-Autumn Festival.

This year's moon appreciation banquet was held in the imperial garden, and when the moon was just above Dongshan, it was covered by weeping willows.The emperor asked some talented people to write poems by name, but Yan Qinghe couldn't avoid it and also compose a poem.

However, the emperor praised him a few words because of this, and Yan Fuliang also knew that the emperor was wrong with people, so he thanked him again and again.

At this moment, the three of Yan's father and son are together, and the emperor is standing beside them.The emperor's face was gentle, with a little appreciative smile, but it was not at all the gentleness between ears and temples, but full of the majesty of an emperor, which made people awe-inspiring.

Standing between the eldest brother and the emperor at this moment, Yan Qinghe felt his heart beating violently.There are many things in his heart, but he just wants to pretend that nothing has happened.Now he was standing in front of his father with the person he had been happy with, and beside him was a person whom that person cared about.This kind of feeling is inexplicably like cheating in public - if he has this thought, it must be a different kind of fun.

But now he doesn't.He really wanted to see how the emperor treated his eldest brother at such a close distance.But he didn't dare to raise his head and look at the emperor. His eyes couldn't hide things at this time, and he would definitely panic.Yan Qinghe couldn't help but glanced at the emperor quickly, only to see that the emperor's eyes were on him.

Yan Qinghe was stunned, not knowing how to react for a while, but seeing his elder brother and father looking at him, he remembered that he had faintly heard his name just now.

However, his thoughts were wandering, he didn't hear what they said clearly, and he didn't know how to answer the words at all.He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't dare to speak rashly, lest Shengqian would make a mistake, he was very embarrassed for a while, and became more and more nervous.

At this moment, the emperor asked as if to save him: "I see Shi'an's complexion is not good, but he is not feeling well?"

Yan Qinghe hurriedly said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I...I really feel a little unwell..."

The emperor sighed jokingly: "Oh, it's a pity that Aiqing has to live up to the moonlight."

Yan Qinghe is really ill now, he just wants to leave early.

"I see that Shi'an's complexion is not good. Is he feeling unwell?" The emperor said to him the first time he wanted him, but the movements of his hands did not stop.Although he made up his mind to go all out at that time, it was his limit not to refuse. Thinking about it, his face should be either red or pale, how could it look so good?But he could only forcefully say, "I'm... nothing wrong."

But he didn't expect the emperor to be so frivolous, playing such a riddle with him here.In front of the officials, in front of his father and brother, he expressed his concern and love for a subject with the posture of an emperor.But under the words, it seemed to be flirting - let alone reminding him.

But the emperor said that, did he not want him to leave?Yan Qinghe thought about it, and responded: "At this time when the four beauties and the two difficulties are at the same time, I am reluctant to leave, and I can just take a rest. Your Majesty is worried."

The emperor just nodded and turned to talk to Yan Fuliang again.It was only then that Yan Qinghe dared to look up at the emperor, but saw that the emperor's expression was indifferent, as usual, as if what he was thinking just now was just his own sentimentality.

But he knew it wasn't.He already knew that the emperor was good at making such changes.

The emperor was about the same age as Yan Canghong, but his demeanor was different, making people always forget his age when seeing him, and only remember his majesty.Yan Qinghe had met the former crown prince before, and the crown prince had been cultivated since he was a child to be a gentleman and respect the world. Needless to say, he was majestic, but there was also a kind of thick and restrained softness.

The emperor was different.In the nearly 20 years when he was not a prince, he was just an ordinary prince, not very old, and his birth mother status was not high.After becoming a prince, only means can convince everyone, so he can't hide his fierceness.Yan Qinghe didn't like the emperor treating him tenderly. Every time he was gentle, the more gentle the emperor was, the more chills he felt down his spine.It is probably because he understands that tenderness and sweetness are just a temporary illusion, and it will be another scene if he reverses the dragon scale in a blink of an eye.

The emperor didn't stay for long. After watching the emperor leave, Yan Fuliang blamed Yan Qinghe for his disrespect.Yan Qinghe couldn't explain it, he just said in his heart that this was really not a disgrace to him.

Yan Canghong saw that his mind was elsewhere, and asked him quietly why his mind was wandering.Yan Qinghe had no choice but to find an excuse to prevaricate: "I... I just thought about the prince..."

Yan Canghong's expression turned serious, "What do you think about these things, don't say a word about this matter."

Yan Qinghe sighed: "Of course I know, I saw the Zhao family just now, I just remembered it for a while."

Having said that, Yan Qinghe really remembered what happened.Prince, there is no such thing now.But Concubine Zhao now has the highest status, and her son is the eldest son, so everyone thinks that he should be the eldest prince.

However, everyone used to secretly think that since this year, there have been rumors that the emperor intends to establish a crown prince.I don't know where this rumor came from, but Yan Qinghe always thought it was unreliable.Firstly, the emperor is in his prime of life, his body is strong, and the eldest prince is not too old, so there is no need to worry about it; secondly, the emperor does not like others to guess his mind, the more decently this story is spread, the less likely it is up.

And he has experienced a lot in recent days, and he feels more and more that the Zhao family should not be anxious.After all, Concubine Zhao is the number one figure in the harem, and Princess Chanjuan has a great reputation. Now that a crown prince is established, the favor is too great for the Zhao family to bear.

What's more, everyone knows the emperor's background - will he be the heir apparent?

Yan Qinghe could only think about these words in his heart, and could not speak to Zhao Ji.Even if he said it, Zhao Ji couldn't decide anything.And in the huge capital city, of course he is not the only one thinking about this matter, there must be someone who thinks further than him.

It's just that the authorities and bystanders see it differently.

When the moon rose to the mid-heaven, the banquet broke up.Liu Shan asked the emperor how to arrange tonight, Zhang Jie thought for a while, and said to go to Zhao Guifei for a walk.

Today is a lively day to celebrate the princess's birthday during the day, and to enjoy the moon at night during the Mid-Autumn Festival.However, the First Prince was cut off from the bustle and was asked to study as usual.He was just a child, he was playful at first, and he was not angry, but when he saw his sister playing leisurely all day, he became even more annoyed.

Concubine Zhao Gui also knew that forcing him to study today is of course useless if he is not thinking about it.But this is not important, what is important is this heart and posture.

Sure enough, the emperor came at night, Concubine Zhao went up to greet him, saying that the eldest prince had already fallen asleep after working hard today, but the little birthday star was still waiting to see his father.

After hearing this, Zhang Jie was really satisfied, and went to see the princess.The princess was only eight years old. When she saw her father, she smiled sweetly. Halfway through the laugh, she couldn't help but yawned, which made the emperor and the imperial concubine laugh together.

The princess raised her head and said to Zhang Jie: "Father, they say that I am the bright moon in the world-do I have the beauty of the moon in the sky?"

Zhang Jie touched the top of her hair and said with a smile: "The moon in the sky is not as beautiful as Yuchan, but if you don't go to bed early, it will not be as beautiful as the moon in the sky."

Zhang Jie was in a pretty good mood, so he didn't want to find out who taught the princess the words "the bright moon in the world".He just spoke a few words with Concubine Zhao, and when it came to the First Prince, he said: "He should have such stamina and responsibility, this is how he will be able to take on big things in the future."

Concubine Zhao's heart felt hot when she heard this, but she still said softly with lowered eyebrows: "I don't expect A Yu to do great things, as long as I can be safe and sound."

Zhang Jie didn't look at her, but said casually, "He's not a child of an ordinary family, and he doesn't even have any ambitions in his chest. What does he look like?"

Concubine Zhao's heart jumped wildly because of these few words, it was the first time she heard the words "take on important matters" from the emperor, she was uncontrollably excited, and replied softly: "It's my concubine who is shallow."

But the emperor said again: "You may not know that you have lived in the deep palace for a long time, but there are rumors and gossips outside that arrange A Yu indiscriminately. Although it is a trivial matter, people's words are scary, so it doesn't matter whether you control it or not."

Concubine Zhao Gui felt chills all over her body again, and the heat in her heart could not be burned anymore. She was thinking about how to answer, but the emperor got up and left without waiting for her to respond, leaving her alone in place.

When Zhang Jie returned to the bedroom, he had already taken off his coat and lay down, but he finally got up and found a letter.

He slowly opened the letter under the lamp, and there was only a short poem and a few words.The poem is a moon-watching poem, just to be sent to the emperor on the [-]th day. It must have been written earlier, and it was not written by Wangyue at all.The content is also ordinary, but it is full of love for the moon, and it is said that the years cannot be kept, and the past cannot be traced.

Can not be chased.

Zhang Jie read the letter for a long time, but in the end he just stared at a corner of the letter paper.

It was signed, and it read: Di Yuan.
