"Then our family of three can watch the moon here." Gu Jingyun hugged her tightly and said softly, "There is a bright moon for thousands of miles. How is the moonlight in this place worse than theirs?"

Li Baolu nodded fiercely.

Before she felt lonely, it was because there was only An An who was sleeping soundly in the house besides her in the yard, but now that Gu Jingyun came, she was consummated.

Gu Jingyun hugged his wife quietly, and kissed her on the forehead, feeling even more satisfied. Compared to admiring singing and dancing in the imperial garden and playing games with courtiers, he certainly prefers to relax and spend the festive season with his wife and daughter.

The couple embraced each other quietly here, looking up at the bright moon in the sky. In the imperial garden, surrounded by stars and moons, the prince's face froze with smiles. Even the second and third princes were ordered by the emperor. He had to turn around and pour wine for the ministers with a jug.

At this time, the emperor is not the master, and the courtiers are not slaves. It is a good story for the emperor and his ministers to get along well. The two parties are in an employment relationship.

Therefore, except that the courtiers of the big and small courts had to stand when they met the emperor, most of the time they could get seats in front of the emperor.

Naturally, in front of such a major festival as the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is normal for the emperor to ask the princes to pour wine and toast the courtiers, and the courtiers will accept it calmly.

So no one was distracted by the toasting second and third princes, and everyone was still staring at the prince.

They really want to know why the emperor and his elders think of the Zen position, and what does the prince think in his heart?

Is this the emperor's willingness, or was it forced by the prince after taking power? Is it the glory of human nature or the corruption of morality?

The prince was stared at by such probing eyes, and almost couldn't help but smashed the wine glass in his hand, can you stop looking at Gu like that, Gu is so bad in your heart, so bad that he wants to force his father to give up his throne for myself?

The prince looked quietly at the emperor sitting on the seat, and the emperor silently turned his head to talk to the queen, turning a blind eye to the prince's gaze.

He gave up the throne and asked him to speak for him. There were no doors and no windows.

A few ministers who were still rational watched the emperor and the prince silently, and fell silent after discovering their interaction, so the emperor really wanted it?

As expected of a benevolent king, several ministers wept silently in their hearts, even doing such a thing as a Zen seat that has left a name through the ages.

In fact, most of the courtiers have not recovered yet, and they still look dazed while watching the singing and dancing, obviously not recovering from the huge news.

As for the returning ministers, a few sat in their seats and thought silently, while the rest surrounded the prince.

This one is about to ascend the throne as the new emperor, so they have to curry favor.

But don't look at the happy smiles on their faces, they are actually a little dazed in their hearts, and occasionally a little frightened.

They thought this palace banquet was just a state banquet for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a blind date for the second prince, but they were still too naive.

Otherwise, in the past, state banquets were always seated together on a family basis, why should men and women be seated separately this time?

It's just that they are too naive and really think that the palace is not big enough to hold so many people. In fact, they just want to separate them, so that the emperor can announce this shocking event.

Zen position!

This is an act of abdication that only ancient sages would do. Yao Zen was located in Shun, and after Shun ruled, Zen was located in Yu. Yao, Shun, Yu, and Tang have always been considered by the Chinese people to be the most wise four monarchs, and their abdication Naturally, it is also highly praised by the world, especially scholars.

Of course, it's just admiration in my heart, and I want to express it verbally. No one is so stupid as to actually go to the emperor and let the emperor give the throne to others.

But today they saw the emperor who was willing to take the Zen position, how could they not be shocked, how could they not be surprised?

It was precisely because of this that when they heard the emperor announce that he would give the crown prince the Zen throne and choose to abdicate when the new year came, they would open their mouths in shock. The first thought was that the crown prince had forced the palace!

The second thought was that the emperor was kidnapped!

So, the loyal one glared at the prince, clenched his fists and wanted to go up to protect the emperor; the active one was sweating coldly, thinking of the family members taken away by the empress dowager, could it be that the palace asked them to bring more family members into the palace to threaten them?

Only a few ministers who have experienced major events can still stand still, their eyes quickly scanned the hall, and they did not see any extra imperial guards, and the emperor was only standing beside Director Su and a small eunuch, which did not seem to be under control look.

After observing the situation in the main hall, Peng Dan and the others looked at the expressions of Wan Peng, the commander of the imperial guards, and Qin Xinfang, the old cabinet minister.

If the emperor was really coerced, it would be impossible to hide it from Wanpeng's eyes; Qin Xinfang is the emperor's most trusted person, and his nephew is also the prince's husband, so he will definitely notice it with his intelligence.

Everyone looked over, and saw Qin Xinfang sitting firmly in her seat with downcast eyes like Mount Tai, her face calm and calm. Although Wanpeng's expression did not change, his elder brother and the ministers who were familiar with him could still see his pupils constricted for a moment. It seemed that he really didn't know.

As soon as everyone was relieved, they were 50% sure that it was not a rebellion, and they should not have to lose their heads.

But they still want to shed tears. Why do they like to innovate so much when they become emperors?

Almost every year, he does something unexpected. This time, he simply made a big move and gave the crown prince his seat to retire.

The singing and dancing tonight was very exciting, but the big boss on the head was about to change, and few people were in the mood to appreciate it, and the efforts of the band for more than two months were wasted.

At the beginning, the female relatives were chatting lively, but when they saw their husbands or sons looking down and looking unhappy, they couldn't help asking in a low voice.

There are always one or two who are not strict with their mouths, so the female relatives almost fry the pot.

The emperor is changing!

The women's family members don't think as much as the men. The first and only thought is that they have to establish a good relationship with the crown princess, the upcoming queen!

So everyone went to look for the Crown Princess, only to find that the Crown Princess seemed to have brought Li Baolu and her mother to the apse and never appeared again.

All the female relatives: ... don't take such a bully, relying on your husband is the prince's teacher, knowing the news in advance, and flattering the princess in advance, it's fine, but even took people away, and ate the meat by himself, and didn't even eat soup Leaving it to them is simply too much!

Yes, everyone finally figured out why Li Baolu interrupted to let the Crown Princess sit down at the banquet just now, it must be to please the Crown Princess.

When the emperor made such an important decision as the Zen position, he would definitely discuss it with the prince, or at least notify the other party.

And Gu Jingyun is the prince's teacher and the person the prince trusts the most. Gu Jingyun must have known about it a long time ago, so he ordered Li Baolu to please the princess in advance.

All the women's relatives glared at their husband/son in disgust. After so many years of being an official, they still hold the real power, but they are not as well-informed as a fourth-rank Hanlin who has only been an official for four years.

The officials didn't know that they had been angered, and they still couldn't recover at this moment. On the contrary, the female relatives in the field were more likely to accept the fact that the emperor had changed.

Change it, change it, anyway, it is passed from Lao Tzu to his son, and it is all the world of their Li family. Who is the emperor?

Moreover, the crown prince had supervised the country more than a year ago, so it didn't matter if he changed the emperor or not.

And the female relatives who came into the palace with another kind of mind were even happier.

Well, if the crown prince becomes the emperor, then the second prince is at least a prince. If a daughter/granddaughter marries the second prince, she will be a princess.

It is much more noble than the princess.

Before their husbands/sons had recovered from the "changing sky", they had already set their sights on the second prince and tried their best to perform in front of the queen and queen mother.

It seems that women are more pressured and more adaptable.

It's just that the prince and the second prince suffered a lot. The prince was surrounded by courtiers, while the second prince was stared at by the officials. And the third prince took advantage of his age to make jokes, wandered around the venue, and successfully drunk the courtiers surrounding the prince and the second prince, but he filled his stomach with snacks.

This mid-autumn palace banquet ended in such a muddled way. The crown prince and others breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the courtiers had just recovered, but the officials and family members were still unsatisfied. Just now, the queen mother and empress did not show any comparison with the ladies of any family. satisfy.

The most regrettable thing is that they were unable to see the princess again and have a good relationship with the future queen.

The officials and family members left with regret.

However, Qin Wenyin looked at the apse with some worry, and Bai Yitang hugged her and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Qinghe has gone to find them. Let's leave the palace first and wait at the gate of the palace."

Qin Wenyin nodded slightly, and went out with Bai Yitang, but met Qin Xinfang who was waiting at the entrance of the imperial garden.

Qin Xinfang saw the two of them, so he walked to them with his hands behind his back. Seeing that the people around him were staring at him quietly, he couldn't help laughing. He didn't try to hide it, and said to Qin Wenyin in front of them: "Go!" Well, just now the female officer from the Compassionate Ning Palace came over and said that Qinghe had brought Chunxi An'an to wait at the gate of the palace."

Qin Wenyin relaxed and couldn't help showing a smile. The palace is not a place to talk, and the three of them went to the gate of the palace together without saying much.

It was not too late for the palace banquet to end, and they had to have another reunion dinner with their families after returning home. At this time, the moon in the sky was big and round, and the silver moonlight spread on the ground, making the figures thin and long.

The officials went to the gate of the palace in groups, but it was very quiet, no one whispered to each other, not even the sound of voices could be heard.

If it weren't for the constant footsteps, the servants would almost feel that the palace road tonight is no different from usual.

Everyone had no desire to speak, and hurried out of the palace, got into a carriage and left. The emperor's Zen position is a big deal, they couldn't help but go back and talk to others, discuss and discuss.

Qin Xinfang didn't take her own carriage, but boarded the Gu family's carriage, Bai Yitang and Qin Wenyin silently turned around and went to sit in the Qin family's carriage.

Qin Xinfang sat at the head, waited for the carriage to leave the imperial city, and the surroundings gradually became quiet before asking: "Chunxi, why don't you go to the imperial garden?"

"The princess seems to be pregnant, and her pulse may not be very good."
