It's another mid-autumn palace banquet.
When he was about to leave the house, Yu Fu was in low spirits, thinking about the border war, wondering how long it would be before they came back.
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi entered the palace with her, and Gu Huaijiang, Gu Shubai and others were not in the imperial capital, so the seats in Guhou's mansion could not be left unoccupied.
Gu Wenqing was still holding the account books in her courtyard, which were the booklets of the Mid-Autumn Festival ritual exchanges with various houses, "You go, I have to take care of the house, there can't be no masters in the house."
On the way into the palace, Yufu had a gust of cool wind blowing into the carriage, and Yufu wrapped his cloak tightly.
Yao Lan lowered the curtain of the carriage, "The weather is getting cold, and the carriage should be replaced with thick cotton curtains in a few days. If Miss is cold, please put on the cloak!"
"It's not cold, it's not autumn yet!"
With a stubborn face, Yu Fu looked towards the sky, and saw a huge golden full moon slowly rising from the clouds.
"Don't think about it later, there is a bright moon at the end of the world. I don't know if the moon they see is so big and round?"
After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Probably not. The terrain at the border is open, and the moon they saw must be rounder and brighter than what we saw in the imperial capital."
"Miss is full of thoughts about the eldest son."
Yao Lan teased her, "However, the frontiers have been rewarded with success. Lord Hou and Eldest Young Master should be back soon, right? Maybe we can still eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake in time!"
Osmanthus cake
Thinking of the sweet smell and the soft and smooth taste, Yu Fu couldn't help swallowing.
She tugged at Yaolan's arm, "When the sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms, let's pick some and marinate them with honey, so that big brothers can eat them when they come back!"
The carriage stopped suddenly, Gu Xiang turned his horse's head and said to the carriage, "Xiao Yufu, we're here."
The palace gate is right in front of you, reflecting a huge golden full moon, like a magnificent watercolor painting, like a scroll of ancient history.
She stepped out of the carriage and stood in front of the palace gate, feeling alienated spontaneously.
"What's the matter? Did you miss your father and elder brother?"
Gu Yi dismounted and walked to her side, sighed, "I miss them too. In the past years, everyone would enjoy the moon and eat moon cakes together in the house during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but this year it was scattered. Hey—"
He suddenly thought of something, "Why do I feel this kind of emotion is very familiar? By the way, I remembered. We haven't had a good time this year, half in the imperial capital and half in Changzhou. No wonder people say that during the New Year, you can't touch the bad luck, otherwise you will be in trouble." Bad luck all year!"
Yu Fu thought for a while, "Sixth brother, do you think big brother will be poisoned and hunted down like he was during the Chinese New Year?"
Gu Yi suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and turned to Yu Fu with a playful smile, "No, no! Big brother leads the army, who can poison him? I said that because of my superstition. Don't let it go!" In my heart!"
Gu Xiang gave him a dark look.
Knowing that Yufu was worried about Gu Shubai and the others, saying such words made her even more worried, because her twin brother really didn't have the slightest bit of intelligence and wisdom of her own!
Gu Xiang shook his head helplessly, and patted Yu Fu on the shoulder, "Don't worry, all the reports from the border are victory reports. My father said that he will return in triumph soon, and maybe the military reports of victory will be sent back tomorrow. Don't overthink it."
"Um!"
Yu Fu nodded vigorously, and then a flower bloomed on his face, "Let's see what new mooncakes are on the banquet tonight, ask the Imperial Dining Room for a recipe, and when the general and the others come back, let the cook make them for them! "
"Okay, let's go!"
The three of them attended the meeting, and tonight Yin Shuo and Princess Danyang were seated together, but Yin Jigui was not present.
Yufu thought about what Yaoyue told her, that Gu Huaijiang was so focused on the war, and had no time to take care of Yin Shuo's secret investigation of cabinet candidates, so Yufu could only keep an eye on them.
I thought that I could see Yin Jixie at the palace banquet today, and maybe I could ask something, but unexpectedly she didn't enter the palace at all.
"Princess Danyang, Prime Minister Yin."
Yu Fu didn't take the seat directly, and went to talk to the two of them first, outsiders thought she and Princess Danyang were sisters and rushed to exchange greetings, so they didn't pay much attention.
Yin Shuo was surprised, "I met Zhenjiang Princess."
It was in the garden of Darui Palace, he clearly called her Yufu, and now she became the estranged Princess of Zhenjiang again.
Yu Fu thought to himself, probably because he felt guilty for not proposing to divorce Emperor Ning, so he felt guilty, right
She smiled good-naturedly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, sending a signal to Yin Shuo, reminding him of what she said that day.
If he didn't mention the divorce at that time, he would not be able to harass her in the future, even if she took the initiative to talk to her today.
Yin Shuo lowered his head, Princess Danyang rolled his eyes at him, and thought that he was not so respectful to himself, but he was respectful to Yufu, Princess Yeluzi.
"The prime minister doesn't need to be too polite. Huh—"
Yu Fu pretended to be unintentional and said: "Why don't you see Ms. Yin? Miss Yin wrote a poem at the spring banquet last time. She is very talented. I heard that she and my second brother are also friends. I want to come to ask her about poetry. Where did she go? "
Princess Danyang snorted lightly, "On her forehead—"
"She accidentally knocked on the door on her forehead and got a piece of it. It's not a serious problem. She was going to enter the palace, but she was injured and had to rest in the mansion."
Yin Shuo grabbed the white without changing his face, and Princess Danyang gave him a surprised look.
Yaoyue said that Yin Jigui was pushed and injured by Mr. Chen, but Yin Shuo said that she hit the door. Seeing Princess Danyang like this, she knows something inside.
However, to Yu Fu's surprise, she didn't expose Yin Shuo's lies, she just pursed her lips and sat back in her seat with a wave of her sleeves.
