When Xiao Jin was in the capital non-stop, Xin Yi woke up. Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the foreign missions are taking care of the banquet in the palace, so he has some free time before he is busy, so he can spend it with Bai Jiu. After washing up, I saw Mr. Qu came in smiling and begging for festive favors.
"Today is the Reunion Festival. The people below have made moon cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus honey wine to honor your lord and your son. Do your lord and your son have a taste during breakfast?"
"Have a heart." Bai Jiu is in a good mood today, with a little joy in the thick and beautiful room, and said: "Thank you."
The two had a meal together, and then the rewards from the palace came first, followed by various levels of people. Bai Jiu didn't have the habit of receiving guests in the past, so he always left a post, and returned the moon cakes and fruits according to the rules, but he didn't meet anyone. On the other hand, it was to give Xin Yi a gift, and the name post said Beiyang, Xin Yi only looked at the name, and never mentioned it again.
He Anchang also came unexpectedly, Xin Yi invited him to the hospital for tea, but he left after drinking three cups of tea, without saying anything about coming early.
Bai Jiu drew a sesame lamp for Xin Yi, and Xin Yi leaned over the window to see He Anchang turned into the corridor and disappeared, and asked Bai Jiu, "What's the matter, Mr. He?"
Bai Jiu ticked off the tip of his pen, "Xie Jingsheng stayed behind in Qingping, and he won't be able to return to Kyoto at the end of the year."
Xin Yi was stunned, "It's a pity."
Bai Jiu didn't mention it, but it was actually Xie Jingsheng's own idea, and he decided to let Xiao Yan come alone for the year-end report. After the investigation last time, he intentionally avoided He Anchang, and he was sneaky when he left.
Chi Chi rubbed against Bai Jiu's feet, Xin Yi leaned over and picked it up, and sat beside Bai Jiu to watch him paint. Bai Jiu rubbed his hair with one hand and asked, "What color do you like here?"
Xin Yi thought for a while, "It should be red, it will be bright and festive at night." After he finished speaking, he changed his mind, this marriage is also bright red... His cheeks burned slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Maybe it should be blue."
Bai Jiu dipped in the red material, "It's too late." As he said that, Xin Yi watched him paint the waves red, and said slowly, "It's good to be happy, let's be happy."
Xin Yi's face burned even more.
Bai Jiu traced several lamps for him, in various shapes and shapes, and the main color was red. Hanging in a row on the porch outside the house, I don't know how beautiful it is when it is lit at night. Xin Yiwei looked at it for a long time, but he didn't like it. Although Bai Jiu didn't speak, Elder Qu already understood it, turned around and gave orders. This lamp will hang here from now on. Dinner was supposed to be served, but there were only two people in Yingfu, Bai Jiu and Xin Yi, neither of them liked to listen to operas, so they only had a small banquet, with lotus-shaped watermelons, moon cakes and seasonal offerings to the moon outside the screen. This autumn season is full of flavor, and the small banquet noodles are also indispensable for crabs, ginger wine ingredients, and sweet-scented osmanthus duck.
When doing the shopping, Xin Yi saw Elder Qu seemed to be feeling emotional in the porch, so he asked how it was, and Elder Qu said, "Your Excellency, it has been more than ten years since there is a festival, and this is the first time since the establishment of the mansion."
Xin Yi was shocked, "Then you have been in the palace all the time?"
Old Qu shook his head, "Since I left Shanyin, my lord hasn't had any holidays."
Then Xin Yi really didn't know what was going on, he didn't even know what day Bai Jiu was in front of. But he could hear that Mr. Qu deliberately avoided mentioning too much, and others didn't know about it. He wanted to hear it, but one day Bai Jiu would tell him by himself.
He also just wanted to hear what Bai Jiu had to say.
In the evening, the two of them finished their meal, changed their clothes and went out.
Long Lantern Street is full of noise and excitement tonight. There are a variety of lanterns, birds, animals, flowers and trees. The most frequent stoppers under this lantern are Qingjin scholars, who guess the crossword riddle over and over again, and return a subtle smile to the passing girl, and leave affectionate eye waves on both sides, which is also counted as a Mid-Autumn Festival dream. Ordinary children all carried pomelo lanterns that had been peeled out, and ran around in groups in the crowd, playing and laughing. Xin Yi paid attention to the pomelo lamp, secretly thinking about making one for Bai Jiu.
Xiaoxiao Building and Buer Tea House did not lose their rivalry that night. A "Fire Dragon" swam in front of one building, and a "Tree Mid-Autumn Festival" was erected in front of the other building, and the top floor was changed to a place for worshiping the moon.
There were people everywhere, and many girls threw sachets and flower bags to Bai Jiu. The adult wears a navy blue brocade robe with vertical buttons. The color is not eye-catching, but when the crowd stands still, they are tall and tall, and they can't hide. Stained in incense and frowned, Xin Yi held back his smile all the way, stopped under a lantern, and said to Bai Jiu: "Guess a riddle, squeeze it down again, lest the sachet will block the way first." He looked up at the hanging hanging above Lantern, asked Bai Jiu, "Which one are you looking at? I'll guess it for you."
Bai Jiu glanced at it and knew the difficulty, first pointed to a fish scale lamp. Xin Yi tiptoed to look, and read out, "There are mountains on the mountain, but partridges fly in the evening rain on the Xiangjiang River." His dimples deepened, "This is simple, I guess a 'out'."
After getting this fish-scale lamp, Xin Yi gained confidence, and said to Bai Jiu, "Choose another one."
Holding the lamp, Bai Jiu looked around among the lanterns with narrow eyes, and pointed him to a child playing carp. Xin Yi smiled, only to realize that adults are so childlike, thinking about it and thinking: "The solitary mountains and mountains are scattered—the clouds are scattered, is the word 'jue'?" Leaning close to Bai Jiu's ear, he said cheerfully, "I don't think the crossword puzzle in Kyoto is so simple, but if adults like it, I'll guess it for you."
Hearing that he was happy, Bai Jiu saw the crossword puzzles he "didn't like" hanging under the other lamps, so he pinched Xin Yi's fingertips while connecting the lamps, and said, "Only these two are deeply in my heart."
Xin Yi felt a little regretful, but on second thought, he felt that he had performed very well tonight, what if he guessed all the lanterns back? Leave the master's family a way out... Seeing him pursing his lips and smiling, Bai Jiu guessed his thoughts, the corners of his eyes were still a little smug, looking full of vitality.
The two went around the street tour side by side, seeing that it was almost time before returning. Back to the corridor, you can see the beautiful lanterns. Xin Yi stopped and looked at it for a while, and Bai Jiu also hung up the fish scale lamp and the children's play carp that Bai Jiu brought back.
"how?"
"It's beautiful." Xin Yi sipped his dimples, smiled at him, and said again: "It's beautiful."
Bai Jiu was looking back, seeing Xin Yi's cute and innocent eyes under the bright lights, and his peaceful smile. He laughed too, and said, "It's just a smirk, I'm going back to the house."
After Bai Jiu finished bathing, the room was pitch black as soon as he stepped out of the screen. Lifting the curtain of Ba Bu's bed, he saw the faint and dim light. Xin Yi blushed, raised the pomelo lantern in his hand, and said to him, "The last one."
Bai Jiu went to bed and connected the pomelo lamp. There is also a fragrance of grapefruit, which he presumably made secretly while he was taking a bath. Bai Jiu looked down at the clumsy and rough carvings on the pomelo lamp, her gaze was serene.
"The engraving is Chi Chi?"
Xin Yi's excited expression froze, and he retracted into the quilt, "It's a rabbit..." Bai Jiu laughed, his cheeks were hot, and said, "If you like to be Chi Chi, then it's Chi Chi."
Bai Jiu put the pomelo lamp together on the small shelf beside Ba Bu's bed. He turned over and pulled Xin Yi into his arms, hugging him full. Xin Yi's ears were hot, and he said: "Reunion on Mid-Autumn Festival, respect Yuan."
"Mid-autumn reunion." Bai Jiu replied to him, along the bridge of his forehead and nose, gradually pecking at the best position.
Xin Yi's chest jumped violently, his body seemed to have realized something first, and Bai Jiu responded with a gentle kiss. He was crushed under the quilt in embarrassment, and he seemed to sense Bai Jiu's quiet excitement in the tight friction. Bai Jiu's hand slipped down, and it didn't take long for Xin Yi to groan, his chest heaved, and the corners of his eyes were red and damp.
The pomelo lamp flickered, and the two breathed alternately.
Ji Baiyue practiced calligraphy under the lamplight.
In the cool autumn night, his pen left firm and upright handwriting on the paper, which looked very different from him.
He's better at holding a knife.
"Your Majesty still hasn't seen me waiting." The dressed-up man kneeling behind frowned, "We are from Beiyang, why do you think your Majesty has disappeared? Could it be that the King of Hades really lost his momentum and wanted to join the lineage of Jingdu?" ?" He didn't get a response, he anxiously touched the knife on his knee, and urged: "A Yue, do you think the son can do it?"
"I don't know." Ji Baiyue stopped writing, turned his head and said slowly to the man: "But we only have him to choose."
Ji Baiyue's face was revealed in the bright light. This face is quite delicate, even though he is not young, he can still see the stubbornness in the corners of the eyes and brows. It's a pity that he left a deep scar on his brow bone, which turned Junxiu into a cold and unrestrained expression.
"He's Xin Jing's younger brother, so he can't be a dog in Kyoto."
"What if he just did it?" Meng Chen's anxiety was all over his face. He was much older, but he also looked much more upright. He said, "What was the last time we saw him? He was full moon banquet, and he still wore When he opened his crotch pants? How many years has it been since Prince Yan’s mansion was wronged and persecuted, his father and brother went away, and he was left alone in Xin Zhenxiao’s hands and was beaten and scolded. I really don’t know what kind of temper the son will become!”
Meng Chen was anxious from the moment they set off, they didn't know anything about Xin Yi, yet they needed it all the more. No, it should be said that Xin Yi is very important to them. Without Xin Yi, they can do nothing.
"If he's too weak, I'll kill him." Seeing that Meng Chen was in a hurry again, Ji Baiyue raised his hand to stop him from blurting out. "Beiyang is at the end of the road. If we wait any longer, the emperor will definitely try his best to get back the Beiyang Army Talisman. Now it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it will be the end of the year in a blink of an eye. When the crown prince returns from worshiping the Buddha, everything will be fixed, and we will be powerless. Now Only the prince can stop the soldiers. But if he can't do it at all, then what path do we have? Rather than being slaughtered, it is better to strike first!" He said the last four words sonorously, with his spine straight and straight. The imposing figure of a person who walks in the army all year round.
Meng Chen couldn't help himself, but he was just anxious. He got up and walked around in the room, and finally heaved a long sigh: "Alslen has also come to the capital. If a war breaks out at this time, we in Beiyang may not be able to protect ourselves, let alone Fang Nian, who is under the command of His Royal Highness King Yan. The country's Weiguo promise." Speaking of this, he became even more depressed, "It's good to keep any young master, but why is there only this one left."
Ji Baiyue picked up his pen again, and said solemnly: "If you don't try him, how will you know that he won't do. Your Highness and Wangfei have four sons, and the first three are all dragons and phoenixes. I bet the last one is definitely not an ant. Rats."
"He can't even see him now, how can I try?"
"If he doesn't see him, I'll find a way to see him."
