==Chapter 137==
August 15th arrived in the blink of an eye. As usual, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace held a moon-viewing banquet.
Not only the royal palaces, but also the important ministers and nobles of the court and their female relatives were invited.
Unlike other times, the Moon Appreciation Banquet is mostly for fun. The most popular palace banquet attended by the ladies of various houses in Beijing is the Moon Appreciation Banquet.
On this day, before dusk, many carriages drove out of the alleys in various parts of the imperial city. These carriages are all ornately decorated, and you can tell at a glance that they are carriages ridden by noble ladies from various families. Occasionally, there are also noble young men dressed in rich clothes, riding horses in twos and threes. At the same time, there were also official sedan chairs mixed in, like a colorful torrent flowing into various palace gates as it approached the Forbidden City.
This time King Jin and Yao Niang walked separately. He entered through Donghua Gate, while Yao Niang entered through Xuanwu Gate.
The carriage stopped when it could no longer move. At this time, the white marble square in front of Xuanwu Gate was divided into two. The long queue-like convoy on the left slowly moved forward, and the moving speed was almost negligible. . On the other side, carriages kept coming out, obviously making room for the cars behind them.
At the front end of the square, near the palace gate tower, you can see from a distance many gorgeously dressed female family members from various palaces, waiting for the chamberlains who came to welcome them to arrange for everyone to enter the palace.
After the carriage stopped, the guards drove the horses forward. He came back soon and led the carriage forward through the empty passage on the right.
The power of the royal family is undoubtedly revealed here. In fact, if you think about it, if there are no benefits and preferential treatment, why would everyone rush to grab it first and then wait to cut their heads to get up. The ladies of the various palaces who were waiting behind them could only watch in admiration as the two carriages, which were gorgeously decorated and carried the emblem of Prince Jin's palace, drove away.
It is said that Princess Jin went to Tangquan Zhuangzi to recuperate due to poor health. Then it goes without saying that the person sitting in the first car must be Concubine Su who gave birth to two sons for King Jin.
Nowadays, Yaoniang has become famous in Beijing, because the prince has held weddings twice in a row recently, and the King of Jin always appeared with her.
Such behavior is rare. You must know that although the concubine is a concubine, she is also a concubine. Generally speaking, the main wife should be brought along on such occasions. If there is no main wife, it doesn't matter if you don't go. I have never seen any family bring a concubine out to socialize. This is obviously suspected of treating the concubine as a wife.
Because of this incident, there was a stupid censor who insisted on reading a book about the King of Jin, but was scolded by Emperor Hongjing for being so full that he had nothing to do and just stared at what he was eating and drinking today.
Although the original words are not like this, this is what everyone translates.
But the censor is originally responsible for supervising the performance of the court and the officials of the princes and princes. It can be as big as the courtiers being treacherous, the villains conspiring against the party, using power to disrupt the government, or as small as which high-ranking official is sleeping in flowers and willows, or which family is running the house. Not being strict, allowing slaves to commit crimes, etc. Therefore, the censor can talk about such trivial matters, but who knows that he will be reprimanded.
However, after this incident, those who should understand naturally understood in their own hearts, and those who should not understand would at most make up a specious conclusion that King Jin was really favored.
Not to mention these, it is well known that there is an unparalleled concubine in the Jin Palace. Naturally, the old saying about King Jin not being close to women and being fond of men was brought up. Yao Niang was rumored to be a goddess, saying that she had the appearance of a woman shy of the moon. Otherwise, how could the King of Jin, who was always pure and stoic, do such a thing? Such a doting attitude.
Heroes have a hard time with beauties. In the past, heroes were not close to women because they never met real beauties.
In short, everything is covered. However, because of this rumor, Prince Jin has been missing from the recent rumors about kings vying to marry girls from the Wang family.
……
One of these envious eyes belongs to Wang Defang.
The Wang family’s carriage happens to be at the back of the queue and must wait slowly. In fact, considering Mr. Wangge's reputation in the court, it is not impossible to jump in line. There are many people in front of them who are willing to give them space. However, Mr. Wangge has always cherished feathers and strictly ordered his family members not to bully others, so the Wang family People can only wait impatiently behind.
A total of two cars came from the Wang family. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang took their respective daughters-in-law in one car, and in the other car were the three daughters of the big family.
So not only Wang Defang was sitting in this car, but also her two concubines.
Logically speaking, a concubine is not qualified to attend such an occasion. But before going out, Wang Zi made a temporary message and asked Mrs. Wang to take her two daughters out to see the world. He said he wanted to see the world, but to put it bluntly, he just wanted to steal her limelight.
Not only did he want to steal her limelight, but her father was bewitched by that young woman. After hearing the recent rumors in the capital, the young woman wanted to use her own daughter to get married with her, without even looking at whether she had that face.
Whenever Wang Defang thinks about this, she wants to throw the two people who soiled her car out of the car.
"What are Seventh Sister looking at?" Wang Shuying asked curiously.
She and Wang Shuyan are twin sisters. The two sisters look exactly the same. If they didn't dress differently, most people wouldn't be able to recognize the difference between them.
But Wang Defang could recognize them. She could tell them apart just by listening to their voices with her eyes closed.
Wang Defang had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of impatience: "I didn't see anything!"
Wang Shuying wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Wang Shuyan.
Wang Defang glanced sideways at the two of them, "I'm not telling you, you should be more honest in the palace. This is not Jeju."
Wang Shuying had a short temper and wanted to refute on the spot, but Wang Defang turned to look out the window and gave her a slap on the back of the head. Coupled with the fact that her sister Wang Shuyan gave her a hand, she shut up angrily.
When it was finally their turn, Wang Defang got out of the car first. Wang Shuying finally couldn't help but said: "What's so great? Isn't it just that we entered the palace twice more than us!"
Wang Shuyan has a gentle temper and persuades her sister in a low voice: "Okay, don't argue with her, don't forget what my mother said this time."
Of course Wang Shuying remembered it, so they both smiled slightly after getting off the car. The two sisters, who looked like they were carved out of the same mold, stood there, but they attracted a lot of people's attention.

When Yao Niang left the Xuanwu Gate, she saw Princess Qing.
The two were walking together, and Yao Niang asked: "Why did you bring her with you?"
This she naturally refers to Concubine Han.
Princess Qing pursed her lips and whispered: "It's coming according to the regulations."
Okay, the press is definitely coming, after all, it is the side room of the Jade Certificate. Otherwise, given King Jin's temperament, it would be impossible to bring Concubine Xu and Concubine Liu together. But Yao Niang is not a princess, so she doesn't need to worry about these two people. However, not far behind Princess Qing was Concubine Han.
The last time they met at Prince Wu's Mansion, Yao Niang also knew that Princess Qing and Prince Qing had settled their differences, and she was happy for Princess Qing in her heart. Although her mood was somewhat subtle because of King Jin's remarks, it was not her family's business after all. She just wanted to get along with Princess Qing, but as for the relationship between the wife and concubines, she didn't know it, and she didn't want to stab Princess Qing in the heart.
"Then take her with you. We won't be able to talk today." Anyway, Yao Niang couldn't stand the Han concubine, and it was all hers who mentioned it.
"Don't worry, she is very honest in this kind of situation." Princess Qing said with a smile.
At first, Yao Niang didn’t know how to be honest. Then she went to Kunning Palace to pay respects to Queen Wei, and then went to Jiaotai Palace for a banquet. Concubine Han didn't say a word during this period. She seemed to know that she didn't want Princess Qing to see her, so she never approached her or talked to anyone.
When Yao Niang glanced at her, she always felt like the child bride of a family near her home. That little daughter-in-law is like this. She does everything silently. If you don't pay attention deliberately, you really can't feel her presence.
They are completely different from those at the banquet that day!
Now that the banquet is over, it’s time for the main event.
In the imperial garden, glazed lanterns were hung everywhere, making everything brightly lit. The green and lush ancient trees are dotted with all kinds of strange-shaped rocks. Looking far away, you can see the stacks of houses with carved railings and jade bricks in the distance, as if they are not in the human world.
On the other side, Emperor Hongjing led a group of princes, ministers, and distinguished disciples in Fubi Pavilion, while on the other side, headed by Queen Wei and several concubines, led a group of foreign wives and noble ladies in Chengrui Pavilion.
The two pavilions face each other from east to west and echo each other from a distance. They are located in the east and west of Qin'an Hall. It is better to say that it is a pavilion than a giant waterside pavilion, covering a large area. There is a pond below and a bridge above the pond, and the two pavilions are located on the bridge.
Each of them has an open-air platform extending out of the water. It is made of white marble and surrounded by fences. Standing on it, you can see the lake and water in front of you, and you can see the bright moon hanging in the sky when you look up, but it is a good place to enjoy the moon.
At this time, there were many colorful lotus lanterns floating in the pool, illuminating the dark water with little ripples. Looking to the east, you can faintly see the scene in Fubi Pavilion at the other end of the pond in the distance. However, the whole picture can only be vaguely seen, and the specific details cannot be clearly seen. It can be regarded as a great defense between men and women.
Because today's banquet is mainly about entertainment, Queen Wei did not wear a crown, but wore ordinary clothes. If I didn't know the details, at first glance, I would have thought it was a noble lady from some family.
Not only Queen Wei, but also Concubines Shu, and most of the female relatives of some princes and ministers participated in the moon appreciation banquet in this palace. They all dressed up in ordinary clothes, just treating it as a participation. Every flower banquet in any mansion looks relaxed.
There are no seats in the pavilion, but tables and chairs can be seen everywhere. There are many fruits, snacks, wine and tea on the table. Of course, there are also moon cakes for eating today.
However, most of these things were just for decoration. They had eaten everything they should eat at the banquet. Many people even went out early and had full stomachs. They did not come to the palace for the purpose of eating.
Queen Wei and several palace concubines were accompanied by several ladies of similar age. They stood leaning on the railing and seemed to be talking about something. These high-ranking married women can still enter the pavilion and accompany the driver, while those with lower status or some noble ladies of the house can only be scattered around the outside of the pavilion.
Xiaobao and Yan Geer Zhuzhu followed their respective fathers and drove them to Fubi Pavilion. Yao Niang and Princess Qing were fine and light. After the two of them stayed together for a while, they felt a little bored, so they left the pavilion and found a place to sit and talk.
Just as he was talking, the maid from Prince Qing's Mansion held Zhuzhu in her arms and asked a young **** to lead her over.
But Zhuzhu couldn't stay there and was clamoring to find her mother. King Qing had no choice but to have Zhuzhu sent over.
"Little naughty boy, don't you want to play with brother Xiaobao anymore?" Princess Qing tickled her daughter's little nose and teased her softly.
"Brother Xiaobao is being held by the emperor's grandfather. He doesn't want to play with me." Zhuzhu pouted, looking rather pitiful and abandoned.
瑶娘最是疼爱珠珠，当即就道：“等小宝弟弟回来我揍他，怎么能不陪我珠珠玩。”
"Fifth aunt, please don't hit little brother Xiaobao. If you let him go to my house to play with me, I won't be angry with him." The little girl said in a sweet voice.
Yao Niang was amused, "Okay, okay, aunt won't beat him, let him go to your house to play with you."
"Then Auntie must keep her word."
"Definitely."
Yao Niang and Princess Qing looked at each other and smiled. Xiao Zhuzhu didn't understand why the adults were laughing, and looked confused and cute, which made the two adults laugh again.
Zhuzhu said she was hungry, so Princess Qing asked the palace maid to bring some snacks, fed her and drank some water. Zhuzhu wanted to shush, so Princess Qing took Zhuzhu away, leaving Yao Niang alone.
The night breeze was cool, Yao Niang was half leaning on the stone railing, looking at the colored lanterns floating on the water.
At this moment, a **** hurriedly came over and said: "Empress Su Concubine, Your Highness would like to ask you to come. The young master is a little uncomfortable and is clamoring for you."
The author has something to say: The weather is very hot, everyone should pay attention to prevent heat stroke.
