The last ray of light of day fades away and night falls.
A bright moon slowly rises into the sky.
On the large platform of the Imperial City Landscape Building, the Queen, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a jade crown, led hundreds of officials to burn incense and worship the moon.
After the ceremony, the Queen walked slowly to the wooden handrail of the platform, looking down at the people with low eyebrows, with a sacred and majestic aura. Lead hundreds of officials to worship the moon and pray for blessings. May the majesty of my Xiling God remain unchanged through the ages!"
Under the city tower, the people once again knelt down and worshiped from a distance, shouting, "May the majesty of my Xiling God remain unchanged throughout the ages!"
The Queen laughed loudly, tilted her head and ordered, "Come here, give me some wine! I want to have fun with the people!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! Long live my Emperor! Long live my Emperor!"
The whole city's voices gathered together and echoed through the night sky.
Palace music was played on the platform.
All the red lanterns and lanterns were lit up in the streets and alleys of the Imperial City, with bright lights and laughter.
"This queen is very loved by the people. Although the old man is not from Xiling, the words she just said were really inspiring and made me want to grab the wine!" Du Buguo geared up.
The nine people are now under the city tower. Looking up, they can see the bright yellow figure in the distance.
This feeling of looking up makes the person above you seem unattainable.
The palace servants had already walked off the platform, holding cups of osmanthus wine and walking towards the people gathered at the foot of the tower. The commotion was even worse.
From the bottom of the city tower to the entrance of the street, there were crowds of people, and as far as the eye could see, there was a vast sky. The common people stretched out their arms and started grabbing immediately after the palace officials gave them wine.
A shadow passed over Leng Buding's head and disappeared in a flash.
When the people realized something was wrong and stared at it, the tray in the hand of one of the palace servants had disappeared, and the osmanthus wine had been snatched away!
"Who doesn't understand the rules so much! Wait until the wine glass is handed out before grabbing it! You'll get slapped!"
"Look over there, it's an old man! He's flying away!"
"Stop looking, you won't be able to grab the rest if you look again!"
Old Man Du flew back and forth in a blink of an eye, and the tray he grabbed contained exactly nine cups of osmanthus wine.
The old man proudly shared a cup, "How about it? The old man is better, just grab something, it's trivial! Not to mention that they can't step on my shoes, the old man's feet don't touch the ground at all, who can be more awesome than me!"
Bai Xiaofeng raised her lips and said in a cool tone, "You are indeed very powerful. This skill of leading a sheep with ease will be defeated even if you are an expert with nothing."
The old man thought he was jealous and tasted the wine with a smile. The osmanthus wine was not strong and not harsh on the throat. It tasted more like flower wine and had a refreshing and mellow taste.
"There is nothing much to do here. There is a painting boat at Lingyan Lake in the south of the city. Let's go there to put out lanterns and listen to silk and bamboo." Bai Yu finished the wine and threw the glass away casually.
Su Wu scratched his head and glanced at the platform, "Just leaving like this?"
They sneaked into the imperial city this time not just to join in the fun of the moon festival, but to find clues from the queen.
Tianbao said calmly, "The Queen knows our identities. Since she lets us enter the city, even if we don't go to her, she will come to us."
"how do you know?"
"The palace servants who came down just now to deliver wine only had eight glasses of wine on each tray. Only the tray that Grandpa Du grabbed had nine glasses. That was specially given to us by the Queen."
Su Wu stared at him, "The light below the tower is dim and the scene is chaotic. How did you manage to see the whole place clearly at a glance?"
Bai Yu laughed and squeaked, "Tianbao and I learned the skills from Grandpa Du when we were young. It's just a matter of being quick and quick..."
"..." The three brothers from the Su family pulled their lips together and said, "Bah!"
They also lacked the opportunity to work with Grandpa Du to fight against the strong and help the weak, otherwise they would have the same sharp eyesight and quick hands.
What's there to be proud of!
The nine people turned to the south of the city.
Beside the railing on the tower, a bright yellow figure also turned around and sat back on the throne, raising a glass to celebrate with the courtiers.
…
Wander under the lanterns and follow the main street of the city to the south of the city.
Lingyan Lake is already filled with lotus lanterns, reflecting the stars and moon in the sky.
There are weeping willows by the lake, and there are young people and girls walking together, couples with their children praying for their families, and old people bringing their younger children to enjoy the scenery of the lake.
In the center of the lake, boats were passing by, the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard, and a singer was singing and dancing on the bow.
The whole scene is joyful and harmonious.
Except for one place.
At the corner of the stone steps by the lake, several people hold a lamp and a pen.
They are not writing prayers on the lotus lanterns in their own hands, but looking across the border to add luster to the lotus lanterns of their companions.
"Look, what did the old man draw wrong? This snake! Are the eyes exactly the same as yours? This is the mark. You can tell it is your lamp at a glance! Why do you draw turtle hairs on my lamp!" The old man was dancing with a lantern.
Bai Xiaofeng took the opportunity to brush a few strokes on the old man's face, "Oh, mark."
"Grandpa Po doesn't like turtle hair? It's okay, I'll add a complete ghost for you... Godfather's eyes are not so small, draw them bigger..."
"Wheatsui, Bing'er, come here, don't get together with them, there will be a fight soon, don't let you fall into the lake!"
"Did you draw this majestic dog for me?"
"It's not me, it's Su Wen! How can I, a crude person, know how to paint! Is this a dog? It's obviously a tiger..."
"How dare you frame me in front of my brother? Come down to the lake!"
When the fight started here, Tianbao had just pinned down Bai Yu and painted a bastard on his face to avenge Grandpa Du and his godfather.
Tourists around the area retreated to avoid being harmed by the pond fish.
At this time, a painting boat came slowly and stopped near the stone steps.
The old woman in a red dress walked out of the boat, and the peripheral light hit her face. She had a unique aura, and she was definitely not an ordinary person.
"You guys are having a good time. My master sees you having a lot of fun here and wants to join in the fun. Can you come on board and chat for a while?"
Bai Yu seemed to have seen a savior, "Okay, why not? Tianbao, look at the warm invitation, let's stop the war first?"
Du Buguai took advantage of the night to kick his butt, knocking the young man who had just straightened up, and then looked at the sky and pretended that he had done nothing.
Bai Xiaofeng stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face to wipe away the black air. The string of black spots on his body will be settled with the old man Du later!
A group of nine people boarded the boat, and none of them were clean and tidy.
The old lady Chu Yi saw this in her eyes and kept her expression calm.
Pulling up the curtain and entering the cabin, the scene inside suddenly came into view.
The cabin is brightly lit with candles, a few futons are placed low, guqin and painting vases are placed in the corners, and there is a jade screen partition at the back.
Luxurious and elegant.
A beautiful woman in a purple dress sat next to a short table, with one hand resting on the table. When she heard the movement, she raised her eyes and saw that her peach blossom eyes were bright and noble.
She glanced at a few people, and after a moment her red lips raised with a smile, "I take the liberty of inviting you all to come on board to chat. Since you are here, there is no need to be restrained. Please take a seat."
Bai Xiaofeng, as the only two elders in the group and the only reliable one, also raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you Queen for the seat."
