Nan Xuanyu looked at Ji Yueqin tenderly, and there were 10,000 voices in his heart who wanted to tell Ji Yueqin that he wanted to give you this comb to grow old with you.

But Nan Xuanyu would not tell Ji Yueqin like this, he looked at her with a doting smile, and the tenderness in his eyes was about to overflow.

I just heard Nan Xuanyu's warm voice: "I was worried that Sister Yue would be unhappy in the palace, and I was afraid that she would miss her family too much, so Ah gave her the comb, hoping to make Sister Yue happy, and at the same time, I also hoped that Sister Yue would not have it in her heart. Heartbroken."

Ji Yueqin nodded lightly, and thanked Nan Xuanyu: "Then I will accept this gift, thank you brother Yu, brother Yu is so kind to me."

Nan Xuanyu was very happy to see that Ji Yueqin received the comb from him, and his emotions were inevitably infected by Ji Yueqin, he said with a smile: "As long as you are happy, I'm afraid you don't like it."

In fact, God knows how excited Nan Xuanyu is, he can't wait for Ji Yueqin to always look at him with a smile by his side.

Xiuzhu washed the handkerchief Ji Yueqin wiped away her tears, and then returned to Ji Yueqin to serve her. She was slightly surprised to see Ji Yueqin combing a delicate boy's hair, and then saw Ji Yueqin's hand The comb, I understood a little in my heart.

So Xiuzhu looked at the two with a little teasing and said, "Why did the county lord change his hair bun? Could it be that Xiuzhu was combed by the county lord before, did the county lord not like it?"

Just as Ji Yueqin was about to speak, Nan Xuanyu robbed her and said, "Just now, this palace accidentally messed up Sister Yue's hair, so it's my responsibility to dress up Sister Yue again."

Nan Xuanyu didn't mention the comb at all, he just didn't want Xiuzhu to know about it and then tell Ji Yueqin.

Seeing that Nan Xuanyu was a little flustered, Xiuzhu couldn't help but smiled and said, "His Royal Highness's hand is really clever."

Nan Xuanyu secretly scolded Xiuzhu in his heart. What is his dexterity? He learned it after practicing with the guards around him for a long time. Today, he can finally practice it on Ji Yueqin's head. Fortunately, he succeeded once. ,otherwise... ...

The person Ji Yueqin looked at laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, brother Yu is very capable, and my sister wants to thank brother Yu for doing this for me."

Nan Xuanyu saw Ji Yueqin's appearance with a suspicious blush on his face, and said awkwardly: "Okay! I will help you comb your hair, you are still laughing at me now, and I will never comb your hair for you again. !"

When Ji Yueqin saw Nan Xuanyu this time, she stopped laughing at him, so she took Nan Xuanyu's hand and said, "Good brother, it's okay if I'm wrong, I didn't laugh at brother on purpose."

How could Nan Xuanyu be angry with Ji Yueqin? He was just a little shy just now, so he pinched Ji Yueqin's little face and said, "Dear me, how could Brother Yu be angry with you."

Xiuzhu looked at Ji Yueqin and Nan Xuanyu's harmonious coexistence, and smiled secretly. It seemed that the relationship between his little master and His Royal Highness was really extraordinary.

Xiuzhu didn't want to disturb the harmonious and beautiful atmosphere between the two of them, but when the time came, he could only bite the bullet and say to the two of them: "His Royal Highness, the little princess, the preparations for the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the moon are almost done, and now it's almost over. ."

Nan Xuanyu was a little displeased, he wanted to spend more time with Ji Yueqin, but because of the ceremony, he nodded calmly.

It was the first time for Ji Yueqin to participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the moon, but she was confident that she would not make any mistakes, and even waited eagerly for the queen's move. Since Duan Xue did not let me go, I did past your reasons!

Ji Yueqin got up slowly and walked out with light lotus steps. Xiuzhu and Nan Xuanyu followed Ji Yueqin to Yuexi Palace.

Duan Zhilan was specially recruited into the palace by the Queen today to participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the moon, which was a great honor.

After all, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the moon is not something that ordinary people can participate in. Except for the Qin Tianjian, only the left and right master Zongzheng can participate in the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the elder brother of the empress cannot participate in it.

So Duan Zhilan was invited by the Queen to the palace to participate in the ceremony of sacrificing the moon, and she couldn't help but cheer up. At the same time, she also felt a little proud and self-satisfied in it. Does this mean that she also belongs to the royal family.

Duan Zhilan thought happily in the carriage that was sent to the palace, and she even smiled smugly when she thought that she was not an ordinary girl from an ordinary family. I have been in the limelight this time. After all, only the noble ladies of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet can participate, but I can participate in the ceremony of sacrificing the moon. It is very likely that I am the queen's choice for the crown princess.

Thinking of this, Duan Zhilan was sitting upright and upright. If she was chosen by the Queen's aunt as the crown princess, she would have to be more dignified and generous, so as not to disappoint the Queen.

Duan Zhilan is not stupid either, she understands why the queen chose her, not for her dignified and dignified attitude, but more because she is a member of Duan's family, and it is better for the queen to hold her in the palm of her hand. Even so, as long as Duan Zhilan does her duty well, she can marry His Royal Highness the Prince of Yushu Linfeng, why would she not want to

Duan Zhilan smiled secretly in her heart, but she still showed a calm look on the surface.

The carriage drove to the front of the Fengxi Palace, and at the door, Madam Jiang had already been waiting in front of the door, waiting for Duan Zhilan's arrival. When she saw the carriage coming to pick up Duan Zhilan slowly, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this young lady has finally arrived, otherwise, I am afraid that she will lose her courtesy at the ceremony of sacrificing the moon.

Madam Jiang grew up in Duan's house and accompanied the Queen's mother since she was a child. Now she also feels very kind to those who see Duan's house. Of course, she is just like the Queen, and she only cares about the division of Duan's house. Duan In Rou's situation, whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with him.

This is the case with most people, the attitude of hanging up high has nothing to do with it, both ancient and now.

When Duan Zhilan got off the carriage, Jiang Ma hurried up to meet her, smiling all over her face: "Miss here, are you running all the way?"

Duan Zhilan looked at the mama Jiang in front of her, and did not show the arrogance of a noble lady, but politely saluted Jiang mama and said: "Zhilan has seen mama, mammy is worried. , Zhilan is very good this way."

Duan Zhilan rolled her eyes in her heart, and she bumped all the way over, almost breaking her skeleton, and now she has to pretend to salute a mammy, her resentment is about to skyrocket.

Seeing Duan Zhilan's polite and well-behaved appearance, Jiang mama couldn't help feeling somewhat satisfied. It seemed that the empress's eyes were still good.

"Miss, follow me into the house to see the Empress. The ceremony will start later, so don't delay the time." Mammy Jiang urged Duan Zhilan.

Duan Zhilan was also afraid that it would be late for the ceremony, so she didn't dare to think about anything, so she hurried up to follow Momma Jiang.

Duan Zhilan had just entered the Fengxi Palace, when she saw her aunt sitting dignifiedly on the seat in the front hall in a golden and silver filigree dress, her eyes were filled with a hint of envy.

The queen swept the envious look in Duan Zhilan's eyes, and didn't say anything, just chuckled lightly. There is no woman who is not crazy about her position, so she also feels extremely normal to Duan Zhilan's expression. It was precisely because of Duan Zhilan's expression that the queen felt more confident.

Since Duan Zhilan has the heart to be an empress, pushing Duan Zhilan to her son's side will allow herself to better control her son, and secondly, push her brother's daughter to the future empress position, and even more so. It will bring infinite honor to her family.

So she took Duan Zhilan's hand and didn't want Duan Zhilan to salute. The kind Duan Zhilan said, "Zhilan, do you like the palace where my aunt lives?"

Duan Zhilan didn't know why the queen asked her like this, but how many women in the world don't like the rich and luxurious Fengxi Palace

So Duan Zhilan smiled and nodded, but she seemed to have thought of something, and quickly shook her head again.

When the queen saw Duan Zhilan, she knew that Duan Zhilan's actions were afraid of angering her, so she smiled and said, "Zhilan, you don't have to be so careful in front of my aunt. You must know that my aunt has always liked you very much, and I will meet Yu'er later. Get along well."

When Duan Zhilan heard the Queen's words, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she shyly said to the Queen, "I know my aunt."

Seeing that Duan Zhilan was also interested in her son, the queen was even more satisfied, smiled and patted her head, and said to her, "Zhilan, will my aunt betroth you to your cousin from now on? Since she likes this phoenix Jubilee Palace, when your cousin ascends the throne, you will be the master of this Phoenix Palace."

The queen also spoke without hesitation, Duan Zhilan was even more shy when she heard it, and couldn't raise her head, her voice was as subtle as mosquitoes.

Seeing that their aunts and nephews had a harmonious relationship, although Jiang Ma could not bear to come forward to disturb them, but due to the urgency of time, she stepped forward to remind them that they were going to the Moon Palace.

When it comes to the Moon Palace, this is not only a place for offering sacrifices to the moon, but more of a palace to cherish the memory of a woman.

No one knew who she was or who she was, but every year the emperor who took office the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival would go to worship her.

Some people say that this woman is the most beloved woman of the founding emperor, who built the palace for her in memory of her lover.

Others say that this woman was a palace built to help the founding emperor fight the country together.

There are different opinions, and the mystery has not been solved until now. The statue of the woman in the Moon Palace has been erected in the Moon Palace for hundreds of years.

Because the woman had to sacrifice to the moon before the ceremony could be performed, the empress and Duan Zhilan also set off for the Moon Palace.

Ji Yueqin and Nan Xuanyu also accompanied the Empress Dowager towards the direction of the Moon Palace.

In the Moon Palace, there was someone waiting there early, with a pair of eyes showing resentment and melancholy staring straight at the statue, as if he wanted to engrave it deeply in his mind.
