After dinner, Shen Yizi raised his hand and picked a pomegranate.

Break it open on the spot, peel the red, tender and translucent pomegranate and put it into a crystal bowl.

Nian Nian had never eaten pomegranate before, so she followed Qing Bao's example and put the pomegranate in her mouth, and ended up chewing the seeds together.

Shen Yizhi taught her: "Just bite it gently and let the juice inside flow out. The seed must be spit out."

This time Nian Nian ate the right thing, but she really couldn’t like this kind of fruit that didn’t give her much feeling of fullness.

I ate a few and then stopped.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon in the sky is exceptionally round and bright, like a glowing jade plate hanging in the sky.

Shen Yizhi was lying on a large recliner, holding Qingbao and Nian Nian in his arms, one on each side, and looking at the moon.

But she really didn't have any romantic cells, nor could she generate poetic sentiment like the real ancients, so she found it boring after reading for a while.

Kun San has always been a man of few words, and at this time he just sat quietly by the side.

"Qingbao, Nian Nian, let's play a game, and Kunsan can join in." Shen Yizhi suggested.

The two children happily agreed. Wangwang also came over, wagging his tail.

Then the two adults, two children and a dog played the game of passing the flower drum.

Imperial capital, imperial palace.

Fuyao Palace.

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is being held in the main hall.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion, so all those present are members of the royal family. But if you count them all, there are several hundred of them.

This is still within the five generations. We don’t know how many there are outside the five generations.

The entire hall is decorated with green and jade, full of light and color, and is extremely grand and magnificent.

On both sides of the hall stood nine red-lacquered pillars with dragon patterns rising into the sky. The distance between each pillar was about three zhang (about 10 meters). At the end of the pillars was a white jade platform with more than 30 steps, where the emperor, empress and queen mother, the three most honorable people in the empire, sat.

Hanging high on the ceiling are several crystal lamps that are glittering with jade foil. The lamps are so huge that they are equivalent to several water tanks. There are dozens of lamp bowls on the lamps, and each lamp bowl is filled with lamp oil.

The lamp oil was as smooth as fat, and it was said to be made from mermaids from the East China Sea. When it burned, it was not only bright and warm, but also exuded a faint fragrance.

And on the walls and the dragon pillars, there are countless pigeon egg-sized luminous pearls inlaid, shining brightly with precious light and golden rays.

Under the illumination of these thousand-year-old crystal lamps and night-shining pearls, the entire hall is as bright as day and every detail is clearly visible.

As the banquet began, teams of palace maids filed in and served delicious food.

After the dishes were served, the music band and dancers from the Jiaofangsi came in. Soothing and solemn music slowly flowed out, and the dancers stood up and danced to the music.

After the solemn and elegant opening dance, the atmosphere became slightly more lively, followed by a variety of performances.

Various programs such as pole climbing, rope jumping, handstand, animal taming, shadow play, sumo, and magic are performed one after another.

And because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the themes of most programs are more or less related to the moon. Of course, there are also many praises for the top three.

The emperor was so pleased with the performance.

As the show progressed, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more lively, with glasses clinking and wine flowing. Some of the clan members with unrestrained temperaments even ran to the scene in person to interact with the performers.

At the bottom of the white jade steps, the first person sitting on the upper left was Prince Gu Xueting. To suit the occasion, he was dressed more gorgeously than usual today. His long, flowing black hair was draped over his shoulders, and his angelic face became even more irresistible under the light.

The surroundings were bustling and noisy, but his area was quiet and cold, a world of its own.

He didn't care. He sat quietly in his seat and watched the performance indifferently.

I glanced at the watch on my hand and the time showed a quarter past nine.

Influenced by his Zhizhi, he is now accustomed to her way of addressing time.

This can indeed express time more accurately.

Although the space inside the hall is spacious, the smell of alcohol still makes it a little suffocating.

Gu Xueting stood up and left the table, walked out of the hall, and walked slowly along the rockery and lake stones. Finally, he stopped by the lake, took out the photo stone in his arms and stroked it.

I wonder when Zhizhi will send me a video? She and Qingbao must have a great Mid-Autumn Festival tonight, right?

"Brother Xue Ting."

A gentle call came from behind.

Gu Xueting turned around, his eyes as cold as the moonlight: "What's the matter?"

Pei Yuan wanted to take a few steps closer, but under his gaze, she was unable to take a step.

"I saw a fan in Tianbao Pavilion earlier and wanted to buy it, but the clerk refused to sell it, saying that it had been reserved by someone else. Then I happened to meet Steward Lin who came to pick up the product."

The Nine-Light Fan was a female style fan, with an extremely rare dragon jade adorning the handle. It was round and lovely, with a cool luster, and was carved into an exquisite scallop shape.

More importantly, it is said that dragon jade has some magical uses.

It is a treasure that even dragons treasure.

No matter how close her relationship with Prince Chen was, she was the only one who knew how cold this man was, so she did not dare to hope that he had bought the Nine-Light Fan as a gift for her.

If it wasn't her, then it could very well be the woman who appeared in his bedroom last time!

When she thought about the fact that someone else had gotten there first and approached the man first, the jealousy in her heart grew stronger and stronger, gnawing at her and making her restless day and night.

So even though she knew she shouldn't, she still came, her tone was the soft and charming one she had practiced many times in private: "I really like that fan, Brother Xue Ting, can you give it to me?"

Gu Xueting's eyes were calm: "Is this your third condition?"

Pei Yuan was shocked and subconsciously denied: "No!"

So, what else is there to say?

Gu Xueting didn't say this out loud, but his expression revealed this meaning.

Pei Yuan was still unwilling to give up, and asked tentatively: "Brother Xue Ting has never been interested in these things before, why is it this time..."

Gu Xueting collected various objects that women might like, but he naturally didn't make a big fuss about it. However, this time, the Nine-Light Fan happened to be seen by Pei Yuan.

"Miss Pei Qi, this is not something you should be concerned about."

Just as Gu Xueting finished speaking, the photo stone in his arms suddenly vibrated slightly.

Here we come!

He had no intention of continuing to tangle with Pei Yuan, so he strode away.

He even refused to attend the palace banquet, and directly apologized to the emperor and left the palace early.

Pei Yuan looked at his hurriedly leaving back, her eyes flickering. Why was he in such a hurry to leave? In the hall, the fifth prince finally arrived.
