Ning Wanxiao personally took Qi Xiao to walk through the regulations of the Moon Festival, and taught them all the rituals that should be done. It took a little time, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.

Your Majesty will come to listen to the scriptures in the afternoon, so let Qi Xiao accompany him, and Ning Wanxiao naturally invites him to have lunch with him.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince must be surprised, why didn't I mention it before the Moon Festival, and you are suddenly asked to come."

Qi Xiao looked at Ning Wanxiao, he did have doubts in his heart, but he didn't expect that the person who answered his doubts would be Ning Wanxiao.

"In the morning, word came from the palace that His Majesty was furious over the matter of the Household Department, and ordered the Eldest Prince to be confined to the mansion to think about it, and there was no purpose to do so.

The Moon Festival lacked the First Prince, so the Ninth Prince happened to come down to replace him. "

Ning Wanxiao smiled and took a sip of soup slowly.

Although the process of the Moon Festival is a bit complicated, it should be okay if there is one more person or one less person, there is no reason to let Qi Xiao do it.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince thought it was a sudden accident to invite His Highness to participate in the Moon Festival?"

Qi Xiao frowned, listening to what Ning Wanxiao meant, could it be?

Ning Wanxiao was eating the food, chatting like he said: "The Moon Festival is not important, but the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is not as grand as the end of the year festival, Si Tianjian dare not be sloppy.

But the Ministry of Rites has a headache.

According to the usual practice, the eldest son of the emperor, his majesty's son, and the grown-up prince should all participate, but it was only a month before His Highness returned to Beijing, and the Ministry of Rites did not dare to make decisions without authorization. It was only now that the regulations were sent to His Highness. "

When Ning Wanxiao talked about this, Qi Xiao understood everything.

The rules and arrangements for the Moon Festival are all presided over by the Ministry of Rites and the Sitian Supervisor, and generally His Majesty will not personally intervene.

Although there are conventions to follow, it is not certain whether to follow them. It is related to the royal sacrifice, and the Ministry of Rituals depends on the empress's face.

Since Qi Xiao came back, he has been in the limelight in every way, which is quite valued by His Majesty. The Empress must be unhappy, and wants to use the Moon Festival to beat him up.

The regulations drafted by the Ministry of Rites should have Qi Xiao's name on it, but the post was not delivered to him in time.

If there is no order from His Majesty, Qi Xiao guesses that the Ministry of Rites will go to the Tong Guild hall to invite him tomorrow morning, push the ducks on the shelf and push him into Linxiantai. If you don't remember yourself, you can push it clean.

But for Qi Xiao, as a prince, it is a small matter to lose face at the Mid-Autumn Festival, humiliating the royal family's face, but a big matter to be disrespectful to the gods, not to mention that he was born with the command of "Sirius Calamity", and the articles he can write are great. Too much, enough spittle to drown him.

Unexpectedly, the case of the household department was found on the head of the eldest prince, but Qi Xiao escaped.

"Thank you Ning Guoshi for telling me the inside story."

"Inside story? Your Highness was joking, but I didn't say anything."

Qi Xiao smiled and said, "I'll toast the teacher with tea instead of wine."

Ning Wanxiao drank tea, and said: "But there is one thing, I want to tell His Highness the Ninth Prince that it's okay, just treat it as a favor from me to Baixiqiao, so as to avoid the teasing that day.

Tomorrow's ceremony, His Majesty will call Tang Ling, Mr. Tang, to accompany the sacrifice and take His Highness's original place. "

Qi Xiao frowned. Zhou Guo's envoys are foreign ministers, and there has never been a precedent for foreign ministers to come to Linxiantai to accompany the sacrifice. This cannot be something that the Ministry of Rites estimated to come up with. What's the purpose of His Majesty asking Tang Ling to come?

"His Royal Highness, have you ever heard the saying that there is Qiming in the east and Chang Geng in the west?"

"Also ask Ning Guoshi to enlighten me."

Qi Xiao was born with the fate of a catastrophe, and the most annoying things are astrology, hexagrams and other messy things to fool people.

Even if he is in Linxiantai at this time, sitting opposite is Si Tianjian Jianzheng, the current national teacher Ning Wanxiao, at most he is humble on the surface and listens to his nonsense according to his temperament. He must be polite, but he will definitely not listen went in.

But after spending only an hour with Ning Wanxiao, and hearing what he said about the Ministry of Rites just now, Qi Xiao found that this national teacher is really very human, very interesting.

And what Ning Wanxiao wants to say should not be nonsense.

"Taibai is called Qiming in the east at sunrise, and Changgeng in the west at sunset.

But last night there was a vision, Taibai came out and lay on the side of Sirius. "

Qi Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed unconsciously.

Could it be that Ning Wanxiao was someone arranged in Huaxi Bieyuan?Or not Ning Wanxiao, but His Majesty?Mystery Camp?

Ning Wan paused, took a sip of tea, and said with a slight smile: "There is a folk saying that Taibai and Sirius are bad omens and calamities, but in fact they are not. Stargazing is based on the way of heaven, so it is natural to talk about the right time and place.

Ning Wan Xiao had never seen the vision last night, so he was very surprised, so he raised a hexagram, which turned out to be Yu hexagram, which is even more surprising. "

Qi Xiao tried his best to control his emotions, not daring to reveal anything in front of Ning Wanxiao. After a while, he asked, "What Ning Guoshi said is quite profound, please forgive me for being stupid, I can't understand what the Guoshi said."

Ning Wanxiao was still smiling, his eyes were blindfolded, Qi Xiao couldn't see what kind of eyes and expressions he had, and from the corners of his slightly raised mouth, Qi Xiao couldn't figure out what he meant.

"Yu, just respond to the will and act, follow the movement.

Yu, the big one of the elephant, can be interpreted as An Ye.

Judging from the hexagram, it is good or bad.

However, Yu can also be relieved to be lazy, and the danger lies in the dark. "

... just astrology, hexagrams?

Qi Xiao remained silent for a while, although he was still calm, he was disturbed by Ning Wanxiao's nagging words.

Huaxi Bieyuan is heavily guarded, if Xuanji Camp wants to sneak in in the middle of the night, Ye Huai can't be unaware, even a master of lightness skills like Chi Yue can't really come and go without a trace.

What's more, Zong Sheng has been staring at Chi Yue.

... What does Ning Wanxiao... mean?

Ning Wanxiao got up to refill Qi Xiao's tea, the faint smile on his face remained unchanged, and he continued: "I have presented the astrology and hexagrams to His Majesty earlier in the morning, and His Majesty should even order Mr. Tang to come to Linxiantai to participate in the Moon Sacrifice tomorrow.

Since His Majesty cares so much about last night's hexagram, I guess His Majesty Ninth Prince would also want to know. "

"...Thank you Ning Guoshi for clarifying my doubts. Fuxi's technique is profound and profound. I am a mortal who can't understand the will of heaven. Thanks to Ning Guoshi, I can know the will of heaven and give it to the saints. It is really a great fortune for Chen."

"Hahahahahaha..." Ning Wanxiao listened to Qi Xiao putting on a high hat for him, and the words were perfunctory, and the ability to pretend to be calm and stupid is not what a 17-year-old boy can have Yes, he couldn't help laughing out loud for a moment.

Qi Xiao couldn't figure out Ning Wanxiao's purpose for a while, but Ning Wanxiao didn't say anything to Qi Xiao after that, because there was no chance. In the afternoon, the emperor came to Linxiantai to listen to the scriptures, and Qi Xiao accompanied him. He was sleepy, but he still had to hold on, kneeling and sitting upright, and His Majesty would ask him a few words from time to time, as if to test his understanding.

Qi Xiao stayed up for nearly two hours, and Ning Wanxiao finally finished his lecture and sent His Majesty away.

Qi Xiao hastily bid farewell to Ning Wanxiao, and rushed to Qiyun Palace to visit noble lady Lin at sunset.

In Qiyun Palace, Fang Yuanjuan has been taking care of it personally. When Qi Xiao went, it happened that noble Lin drank some medicine and fell asleep.

Imperial Physician Fang was waiting outside the door, and said to Qi Xiao: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty is so weak because of stagnation of blood and qi. Supplemented with acupuncture and moxibustion to promote blood circulation and dredge the collaterals, the empress should have a good sleep tonight, and wake up tomorrow will be much more refreshed."

Qi Xiao sighed lightly: "The labor court judges bother you."

Imperial Physician Fang had a smile on his face, but he was a little afraid of Qi Xiao in his heart. Imperial Physician Fang remembered how he was going to kill yesterday, besides, His Majesty came to Qiyun Palace in person last night. But who doesn't know how far Chengming Hall is from Qiyun Palace?Where can I pass by?Now everyone in the palace knows that His Majesty values ​​His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, not only Imperial Physician Fang must do his best, but the entire imperial hospital is eager to come here and do his best, and dare not be sloppy any more.

Qi Xiao had just heard about Liu Shuang's talk about His Majesty's visit last night. He was surprised and relieved, but also resentful. , why is this so? !Why...

***

It was night after Qi Xiao returned to the same guild hall, and when he went to the Huaxi other courtyard, he found out that the envoys of the state of Zhou had a private banquet in the courtyard, and Tang Ling was among them.

Qi Xiao didn't bother, walked into Tang Ling's inner courtyard room, held Tang Ling and read "Shan Chuan Zhi" for several days, and he waited for Tang Ling tonight.

***

In Yangxi Zhai, Qi Xiao, the master, was not there, Baixiqiao was the master, and took his guards out to drink and have fun, leaving only Zong Sheng and Chi Yue guarding the empty courtyard.

"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

As Chi Yue spoke, he walked towards the small kitchen.

Zong Sheng followed Chi Yue and said, "Let's cook a bowl of noodles."

"Anyway, it's Mid-Autumn Festival, let's eat something good."

"Why don't you go out to drink with Baixiqiao and the others.

I can stay alone. "

Chi Yue stopped and looked back at Zong Sheng: "You still hate me for what happened in the past? Didn't you have been whipped? Why don't you want to have a reunion dinner with me?"

Chi Yue looked at Zong Sheng annoyed and aggrieved, seeing him froze in place, not knowing how to react, what was the ambiguity in what he said just now, which made Chi Yue misunderstand, and suddenly changed his face?

"I did not mean that.

There are only the two of us left in Yangxi Zhai. I think it’s good to have a simple meal. I’m afraid there are not many ingredients in the small kitchen. If you want to eat better, you should go out to eat with Baixiqiao. "

Chi Yue took a step towards Zong Sheng, approached him, stared at him closely, and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival is the time of reunion. What do I have to do with Baixi Bridge? What kind of reunion is there?"

"...You...I..." Zong Sheng didn't know why Chi Yue was aggressive, didn't understand what he meant, and couldn't answer his question.

"You want to say that you have nothing to do with me, right?" Chi Yue suddenly lowered his head and chuckled, "That's right, what does it matter."

Zong Sheng heard Chi Yue speak sourly, like countless small needles pricking him densely, itching and hurting and unable to avoid it, for some reason, he suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Chi Yue: "I didn't mean that. "

"What does that mean?" Chi Yue still lowered his head, the lights in the corridor were dim, and Zong Sheng couldn't see his face clearly.

"...What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
