Should marry a concubine heart illuminating the moon

Chinese New Year is a big day.

It would be even better if Ruixue ended up.

But for the palace of the emperor's mansion, the New Year is a day when meritorious deeds are rewarded, crimes are punished, and the emperor's officials try to buy each other and return the pearls.Those on duty in the palace are busier than ever.For them, it is not a good day.

The New Year's Eve banquet for ministers originated from when Zhao Zongqian led the expedition. He was busy attacking a certain city and stationing a certain county during the weekdays. He had no time to care about other than merit and life.Therefore, at the end of the year, regardless of whether he is rich or poor, Zhao Zongqian always rewards the three armies with great fanfare.The living brothers drink and eat meat, and the dead can also share a bowl of knife head wine.

Except for the ministers stationed on the border of Beimang, none of the fourth rank or above are allowed to be absent for any reason.Lu Guogong's eldest son's marriage is after Xinyuan, and he cannot attend this year.Others are farther away, such as Bianzhou, Minzhou, Yangzhou and other officials who are thousands of miles away, and some have to rush to Longcheng several months in advance.There are even cases of accidental deaths in foreign countries on the way, but so far no one has dared to disobey the imperial order.

In the palace, there were three people who had nothing to do with this matter, Song Mingyue, Song Mingjue, and Shen Yuxin, who had nothing to do.

In the past, Song Mingyue would secretly go to the clothing bureau to ask for some leftover materials to cut a new set of clothes for herself and her younger brother Mingjue.This year, it is said that Beimang has been harassed several times, causing people in the Western Regions to dare not take the Jianyu Road next to Beimang. Not to mention leftovers, even the concubines in the harem this year used silk brocades that were paid tribute from the south of the Yangtze River.

After the bored Shen Yuxin learned about this, she sent a few paintings in a hurry, saying that she asked Song Mingyue to send them to the Shangyi Bureau. If the last two paintings were made, they would be given to the Song siblings as a thank you gift.Shen Yuxin also instructed that Song Mingyue was not allowed to take a peek before it was sent to the Clothing Bureau, and that the people in the Clothing Bureau should answer truthfully whatever they asked.

Full of suspicion, Song Mingyue sent the painting to the Shangyi Bureau. The female Shi who greeted the door just took a look and ignored Song Mingyue. She hurried in and called Zuo Dianyi.Song Mingyue didn't come to the Clothing Bureau, so You Siyi asked a question, and she answered truthfully.Then You Siyi said: "The clothes will be delivered the next day."

Song Mingyue was still confused and was about to leave when You Siyi stopped her and asked, "Is this painting really made by that disciple of Master Cai? Can you introduce me to it?"

Song Mingyue was so at a loss for the first time, looking at You Siyi's scorching eyes, it was really hard for her to refuse, not to mention that he was going to give her a new set of clothes.

The day before New Year's Eve, the new clothes arrived as scheduled.

Shen Yuxin held a piece of dry grass in her mouth that she didn't know where she picked, and lay with her legs crossed in the small yard of Song Mingyue's house to bask in the sun.Glancing at the clothes in Song Mingyue's hands, she pretended to be profound and said, "You are stupid, I didn't lie to you, go in and try."

The clothing of the Jin Dynasty was always simple, and it was even simpler when it was passed down to the generation of the warrior Zhao Zongqian. The rich and noble families can only see the difference from the clothing materials.Song Mingyue was extremely shocked when she put it on, the style was only slightly changed, but it couldn't be seen without a closer look.But from the skirt to the cuffs, from the knot to the waist, even the hem is exquisitely made, and the stitching patterns on the clothes are even more exquisite. It is so complicated to look at but it is pleasing to the eye, as if a painting is engraved on it .

Song Mingyue's light green wide-sleeved Ru skirt is embellished with bamboo leaf patterns on the top, supplemented by auspicious clouds on the cuffs, and vertical stripes on the bottom, inlaid with silver silk inner patterns. At first glance, it looks like a piece of silver bamboo is looming.The alluring appearance of Xiaojiabiyu, who is lining it, has a bit of dustiness.

"It's pretty." Shen Yuxin smiled and narrowed her eyes.

Song Mingyue was shy, and Pingting walked up to Shen Yuxin, "What else do you not know?"

Shen Yuxin bit the dry grass root, but did not answer: "I just think you are praising me."

"Slick tongue." Song Mingyue's coquettish look was very pleasant, she turned around and walked to the side of the stone pier, and hesitated when she was about to sit down.

Shen Yuxin saw her careful thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help laughing: "Qian Jin is easy to clean, so sit with confidence."

At this time, Song Mingjue also changed into a new suit. First, he sized up Song Mingyue and praised her, then he walked around in front of the two of them, and asked cheerfully, "Sister, is it good looking?"

Men's clothing is much simpler than that of women's. The long robe is lightly covered with rose, flickering in the sunlight. Song Mingjue's white robe is embellished with a little ink rhyme.It is unique in that the skirt and narrow sleeves are turned over, and three flat jade beads are ingeniously embroidered on the bottom.

"Brother Shen, where's yours?" Song Mingjue, who looked like a young boy with red lips and white teeth, glanced at Shen Yuxin who was dressed in plain clothes.

Shen Yuxin squinted her eyes, and said lazily: "Xu Shi was sent to Qingmo Academy, which is almost the same as yours, I am too lazy to bother."

Speaking of Qingmo Academy, Song Mingyue came back to her senses, glanced at the sky, and said suddenly: "You have been here for half a day, and you still don't want to go back?"

Different from the leisurely Confucius Academy, the Qingmo Academy has to present one or two paintings to the official banquet every year for the officials who come from afar to feast their eyes on. At the moment when it is the most busy, it is a closed door for people who are famous all over the world. It is really unreasonable for the disciple to be so leisurely.

Shen Yuxin changed to a more comfortable posture, but it was not very elegant, and said slowly: "Master has so much to do in his daily life, so he has no time to meddle in my business, but he mentioned that at the ministers' banquet, he will lead me to gain knowledge..." Shen Yuxin suddenly turned her head , facing Song Mingyue, his eyes glowing, "Hey, why don't you go with me?"

Song Mingyue pursed her mouth and snorted: "What are you going to do? Are you looking for boredom?"

Shen Yu, who was making fun of herself, rolled her eyes secretly, and just about to lie down, she bounced up like a dead body, which startled the two siblings.

"How about this, shall we sneak out of the palace at night?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Song Mingyue looked dull, but even Song Mingjue lacked interest.Song Mingjue sighed softly, pointed to the door, and said: "There are many people coming and going in the palace on New Year's Eve. Zhao Zongqian is afraid that we will take the opportunity to escape. In previous years, he would arrange four guards to watch the night at the door. This small courtyard looks dilapidated, but it is as solid as gold. No one wants to come in, no one wants to go out."

Shen Yuxin was stunned for a moment, sighed dejectedly, and waved her hands weakly, "I'll come back later, and bring some imperial banquets along the way."

In fact, there is no need for Shen Yu to worry about this idleness, every year Zhao Zongqian will treat the siblings to a good meal, but the siblings never take a bite.Because those five dishes were all their father's, Song Hui's favorite food.

When the afterglow of the west was setting, candle lanterns had already been hung up on the long way into the palace, and the lights were brightly lit like daytime.In front of Zhengnan Gate, the horses and horses were like dragons. Officials, big and small, who had not seen or admired their names for a long time, the royal family and nobles praised each other.Female family members with different looks are more attractive, but they respect each other like guests, and it is not much better than heresy flattery.

The servants performed their own duties, some led the ministers to Fengtian Hall, and some led the female relatives to the middle palace.Shen Yuxin and the three members of Qingmo Academy walked on the wall on the side of the long road, looked down, and wondered: "Isn't that what the night walk of the ghosts is like?"

Cai Xun gave her a hard look, and said in a cold voice, "If you continue to speak so freely during the banquet, you will be the first teacher to kill relatives righteously."

Shen Yuxin chuckled, and said twice to remember.After a while, I was attracted by the scene on the long road again, I saw a servant leading a sucker at the front of the trail, and a servant leading a sucker in the middle, and it was still the same in the end.The officials who had just arrived got off the carriage and walked towards one of them, as if they had been classified.Shen Yuxin looked strange, pulled Cai Xun's wide-sleeved robe, and asked in a low voice: "Master, please look down."

The Yumeng man who was walking on the farthest side looked down and snorted coldly: "What's so strange about the faction in the party?"

Cai Xun remained silent and winked.Shen Yuxin, who was used to being embarrassed and treacherous, immediately understood, and asked: "Master Meng, do you know how many factions there are in this court?"

Master Meng, who has never lost anyone, straightened his shoulders, and when he got on the road, he didn't forget to sneer: "Although the Mo family indulges in the mountains and fields and doesn't care about world affairs, Lao Cai doesn't teach you a thing or two about these things in the palace? "Seeing Shen Yuxin's humbly asking for advice, the men of Yumeng didn't hide, and said slowly: "Look at the one who is walking ahead, it is Xiao Xuanzhong, the governor of the dynasty. The one in the middle is the privy envoy Wen Cheng, honest and upright but somewhat pedantic and stubborn, His Majesty complains about him but cannot do without his assistance. The last one is Minister of the Household Department Zuo Qiuming, he has many party members but keeps his own place and rarely joins the two factions The battle for the Sacred Heart is the best. It's just that there are some things around the corner recently."

This is a three-legged confrontation staged, Shen Yu pestered Yu Mengren and continued to ask: "Why is this?"

Yu Mengren withdrew his gaze contemptuously, and said with a cold snort: "Since ancient times, the turmoil in the court began with the dispute over the establishment of the crown prince." He glanced sideways at Cai Xun, and said in a low voice: "You stupid apprentice, you have to pay close attention. Some, right now he is a big gossip in the palace, and some things will come to him by himself."

Shen Yuxin looked at Yu Mengren, then at Cai Xun, still smiling.

Lao Cai's eyes darkened and then regained his light, and he said calmly: "Since you are indulging in the mountains and wilds, let him go."

The feast of the ministers was very grand, and the orderly servants served the dishes in an orderly manner, and the emperor toasted to all the officials in the world to echo.Afterwards, there was a lot of thunder and rain, rewards and punishments were made, and all the officials praised that this year's weather has been smooth and the country is safe and sound. Shen Yuxin suspected that they had colluded in private, and Zhao Zongqian was just blind.

Finally, fortunate enough to get a glimpse of the rumored Son of Heaven from afar, Shen Yu was extremely disappointed, Zhao Zongqian was a veritable martial artist.If it wasn't for his tall and straight figure, with a majestic majesty, standing beside Queen Helian Wanyan would be like a pheasant matching a phoenix.Looking at the children who have their own merits, the so-called nine sons of the dragon are different, which is probably the case.

After drinking the wine in the pot, Shen Yuxin glanced at Cai Xun, who was constantly socializing, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.No matter how bossy Mr. Cai is in the Qingmo Academy, he doesn't answer anyone, and he can't bow to the world at the feast of this group of ministers.The bored Shen Yu was thinking about how exquisite this white marble jug was, and she would take it back to use as a teapot for Xiaojiabiyu, when a figure who was not very knowledgeable walked up to her.

Shen Yu seemed a little drunk, shaking her head and half-closed her eyes, "Yo, isn't this the sixth prince?"
