The moonlight is pleasant in August and fifteenth, and the osmanthus is fragrant. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a custom of worshiping the moon on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The place for worshiping the moon was in the Imperial Garden. In the garden, there was a screen facing east, with cockscombs on both sides of the screen.

There are edamame branches, taro, peanuts, radishes, and fresh lotus roots. There is an Eight Immortals table in front of the screen, and a large moon cake is placed on the table. The moon cake is more than a foot in diameter from bottom to top and weighs two kilograms. It has patterns such as the Moon Palace, a toad, and the Jade Rabbit.

There are also pastries and fruits placed around the moon cakes as offerings to the moon.

The moon belongs to yin, so the moon sacrifice should be presided over by the queen. However, since the queen was banned from the Changchun Palace in the 10th year of Kangxi, the annual moon sacrifice ceremony has been presided over by Yimin, and this year is no exception. I saw Yimin dressed in

Moon-white flag dress, a golden phoenix with beaded hairpin inserted diagonally in the bun, long tassels hanging from the phoenix's mouth, gently fluttering with the night breeze, adding a touch of agility to the already exquisite makeup, and the accessories on the body are all decorated with osmanthus flowers

Created for the shape, it is a metaphor for winning the title in the Toad Palace and auspicious sign of family reunion.

Apart from Princess Gege, the only people who are eligible to participate in the moon ceremony are concubines above the noble rank. Seeing Yi Min's arrival, they all saluted quickly, their eyes vaguely falling on her belly. It took half a day for the women in the harem to find out what Yi Min was.

There was news that Min was pregnant, not to mention that Yi Min had no intention of hiding it.

"I congratulate the imperial concubine. I think it won't take long to give the emperor a smart and healthy little brother, right?" Concubine Tong unexpectedly congratulated Yimin this time, and the tone of her voice was really good.

Her unwavering sincerity made the six concubines next to her look sideways. Over the years, they had become quite familiar with Concubine Tong's temperament. Normally, even if a young concubine agreed to get pregnant, this one would still be eager to get rid of her as soon as possible. Now she has finally

The feared imperial concubine was pregnant. Not only did this woman not make any harsh words, but she also sincerely congratulated her and said good things. If anything goes wrong, it must be a monster. Even Yimin couldn't help but look at Concubine Tong a few more times.

"Daughter, congratulations to the Empress. Today I was unable to congratulate the Empress in time in Zhongcui Palace. Please forgive me." Seeing the strange silence among everyone, Da Gege couldn't help but speak up to break the deadlock and ease the atmosphere. The three of them

Gege also said, "Yes, my daughter was frightened this afternoon. Fortunately, the emperor's mother is so blessed that she is so happy that she will give us another brother soon." Si Gege and Wu Gege stood aside,

Normally the clever tongue is usually speechless, especially Wugege. She who originally relied on being favored has really seen what it means to be favored. She doesn't even know what expression to use when facing the imperial concubine!

"Yes, is there any woman in the world who is more blessed than the imperial concubine?" Concubine Wen changed her usual taciturn demeanor and uttered such a sour remark. God knows when she just got the news.

She just wanted to go crazy, how much she paid to get this concubine. In order to be able to conceive a child, she even used the death of her own mother to show weakness to the emperor, and secretly revealed many secrets of other families to the emperor, hoping that the emperor

Seeing that her loyalty was not as good as before, he could give her a child. However, the emperor has refused to give her a child in recent years because the period of filial piety has not passed.

Where does it come from?

As a result, Ma Jia had not only already had two children, but she was actually pregnant with the child she had tried so hard to obtain. Ma Jia had been having trouble conceiving for some unknown reason in the past few years. As a result, the emperor not only ignored her, but also focused on her.

After tossing the hospital to recuperate Ma Jia's body, how could Ma Jia be pregnant again without this? How could she not be jealous? She sacrificed her sister, took advantage of her father, and risked being abandoned by her family to get this pregnancy.

The emperor is kind of caring, but she can easily get everything without doing anything? How can she not hate this?

Yimin glanced at Concubine Wen, and before she could speak, Concubine Shu Shu, Guo Luoluo, reacted quickly and excused herself: "What Sister Wen Concubine said is inappropriate. The Imperial Concubine is naturally blessed, but isn't the Empress Dowager not blessed enough?"

"Da? I really don't know why sister Wen Bin said such a thing?" Shu Bin has a fierce and sharp temperament, and she can't stand Wen Bin's usually pretending to be docile. She usually only has the opportunity to find faults.

She would never let it go, especially after Shubi became pregnant with Long Si, she became even more unscrupulous.

Concubine Wen twisted the handkerchief in her hand, forced a smile on her face, knelt down to Yimin and said, "I just made a mistake, please forgive me." Now one of the six concubines.

Only she has no heirs to rely on, and she has no capital to fight against them.

Yimin was not interested in the overt and covert fighting of these women, and just said calmly: "I don't need outsiders to confirm whether I am blessed, but I can tell you that you are blessed to be careful in your words and deeds in this harem."

Paying no attention to the women with different expressions in front of him, he turned around and concentrated on preparing for the moon sacrifice ceremony.

When the moon first rose, Yimin burned incense and prayed to the moon god. The female officials around her guided Princess Gege and the concubines to worship the god with different rituals. Since moon worship is a woman's gift, the emperor and the prince's brother do not need to participate. Princess

Gege followed Yimin, bowed and prayed silently, hoping to seek the protection of the moon god and find a happy consort in the future. In such rituals, several Geges paid great attention to them, especially Si Gege.

It was the first time for He Wugege to participate in the Moon Festival. He kept a straight face throughout the whole process and did every step carefully, for fear that if he didn't do it well, people would laugh at him!

After a series of complex and tedious ceremonies, the moon sacrifice was finally completed successfully. Finally, Yimin held a sacrificial knife and symbolically made a cut on the big moon cake to express the intention of dividing the cake. Then naturally, a servant standing by took over and divided the big moon cake.

The mooncakes were cut into several small pieces according to the current population of the royal family, and were distributed to everyone during the banquet later, which was called "eating reunion cakes." After the moon ceremony, the princesses and concubines moved to the toilet next to the imperial garden.

Fangzhai, where Kangxi would hold a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet and enjoy the performance of the royal troupe.

After worshiping the moon, Yimin went back to Zhongcui Palace to change clothes. After all, the clothes worn during the ceremony were not suitable for the banquet later. It had been nearly an hour since Yimin had dressed up again and was waiting for the people sent to look for Kangxi to report back.

, after knowing that Kangxi had been driven to Shufangzhai by the Empress Dowager, Yimin rushed to Shufangzhai Shiranly. The timing of attendance is very particular. If you go early, you will lose your status, if you go late, you will lose your status.

It may be a crime of indecency, and the right balance is the most difficult to grasp.

Yimin supported Nanny Shang's hand to get out of the chariot, walked lightly with lotus steps, and walked in. She saw blooming begonias and hostas everywhere in Shufangzhai. These flowers that symbolize the Mid-Autumn Festival are scattered.

The subtle fragrance floats in the silvery night, which is indescribably refreshing and makes people feel comfortable and relaxed just looking at it.

"The Imperial Concubine has arrived -" As the eunuchs called out loudly, there was a commotion in Shufangzhai. The clan members and their relatives who had already arrived stood up one after another, and the concubines did not dare to talk to the concubines anymore.

No matter what, they all got up and stood in front of the desk with their hands tied. When they saw Yimin's figure appeared at the door of the palace, they all bowed and saluted. Even the usually arrogant princes bowed their hands and did not dare to take it.

big.

Yimin smiled and bowed his head to several princes and Fujin, and then walked through the crowd slowly. When he stood on the steps of the palace and turned around, he raised his hand lightly and opened his red lips: "Excuse me -

"Yi Min stood there and talked to the princes and princes who got up. After a while, he heard the high-pitched voice of the inner prison announcing entry again from outside the door.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

"The Empress Dowager has arrived——"

With a smile on her lips, Yimin turned around to face the palace door. Holding Nanny Shang's hand, she stepped steadily on the bottom of the flower pot and walked out of the main hall. Behind her, the concubines, elder brother, princess, clan, and Fujin people were all following closely.

Afterwards, he saw two canopies moving towards this direction from a distance. After a while, Luan Jia stopped outside Shufangzhai. Kangxi got off the imperial chariot first, walked a few steps quickly to the empress dowager's phoenix chariot, and stretched out his hand to help.

Xiaohui got off the sedan chair.

"See you, Your Majesty - Your Majesty, the Queen Mother -" The Emperor and the Queen Mother came together, and Yi Min led everyone to salute and greet them.

"Okay! Okay! Today is not only a good day, but also a double happiness. The Ai family is very happy!" Xiaohui held Kangxi's hand and walked forward. She looked at Yimin carefully before saying with a smile. Obviously Xiaohui

Hui already knew about Yimin's pregnancy. Over the years, the relationship between Xiaohui and Yimin has not broken down because of Xiaozhuang. On the contrary, Xiaohui has always felt that Xiaozhuang has gone too far, and the Mongolian influence in the harem is not what it used to be.

, if she did not win over Yimin, the powerful imperial concubine, she would have no chance of getting ahead. Therefore, instead of complaining about Yimin, she became even more kind to her.

Yimin smiled sheepishly: "Huang'e Niang, don't laugh at me. If you hadn't been taking care of me, where would I be today? After all, who is as lucky as you?" While talking, he begged me.

With happy words, while holding Xiaohui's other hand, he and Kangxi looked at each other secretly, and the two of them supported Xiaohui and slowly walked into the hall.

Chengrui and Saiyinchahun followed closely behind them. They had gone to Ciren Palace with Emperor Kangxi to invite Xiaohui, so they naturally followed them. However, they were either flattering or scrutinizing the clan members passing by.

They turned a blind eye. Anyway, besides the empress dowager and their mother-in-law, who else in the palace could touch them at all? So they only need to follow their mother-in-law's instructions and do their part.

The rest of the things are not what they need to consider now.

Kangxi and Yimin helped Xiaohui to sit on the top banquet table, and they sat on the left and right sides. The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was in the form of a round table, which symbolized reunion.

There was a table for the concubines in the harem. The prince and Fujin had their own tables. Concubine Tong, as the only concubine, was at the head of the concubines. Xiaohui glanced at the concubine table and felt unhappy.

Over the years, Xiaohui has completely lost her temper towards Concubine Tong. With Xiaohui's extensive network of contacts in the palace, it was not difficult to find out who Aunt Lai suddenly appeared next to Kangxi? This investigation naturally led to the discovery of Tong.

At home, when Kangxi took action against the Mongolian forces in the harem, it was when Aunt Lai appeared, and in connection with the fact that Aunt Lai was Empress Dowager Tong’s most trusted maid, she was first demoted to the rank of Buddha by Empress Dowager Tong.

After leaving the palace, he hid in the Tong family. What was the purpose of hiding for so many years? Isn’t the truth about to come out?

Originally, Xiaohui didn't have much ill feelings toward the Queen Mother who jumped into the Tong family. After all, when she entered the palace, Queen Mother Tong had already fallen out of favor. In addition, Kangxi was raised in Cining Palace when she was young, so Xiaohui regarded her as

Aiwujiwuxia took great care of Empress Dowager Tong because of her own love, but when she thought of Kangxi's purges and hostility towards the Mongolian forces over the years, when she thought of a letter full of fear and doubt from her clansmen, and when she thought that the emperor was now more than filial,

Xiaohui felt a kind of gnashing hatred for her lack of closeness. When she thought that all this might come from the revenge of Queen Mother Tong, even with Xiaohui's indifferent nature, it was difficult for her to have a good look towards the people of the Tong family.

!

Concubine Tong sat upright under the piercing gaze from above. Over the years, she had long been accustomed to the empress dowager's dislike of her. Fortunately, as long as she did not stand out, the empress dowager would not deliberately seek trouble, so today there are

When the Empress Dowager attended, Concubine Tong kept her eyebrows down and made up her mind never to give the Empress Dowager any chance to suppress her.

As soon as Kangxi opened the banquet, the maids began to serve various dishes in a stream, including pot-roasted duck with shredded bamboo shoots, mutton stewed with wilted melon, sliced ​​sheep tripe, bird's nest mixed with shredded cabbage, bird's nest stewed duck, Su Zao duck, Su Zao meat, small Nantao,

Small peach, home-style cake, lotus root, boiled lotus root, shrimp mixed with jellyfish, five-spice elbow, five-spice chicken, mixed shredded duck, sweet and sour lotus root beans, mutton buns, moon cakes, japonica rice dry meal, sunni Efen white cake

, snail and lion buns, bean buns, radish soup, fruit porridge, etc. As the first Mid-Autumn Festival after the pacification of San Francisco, Kangxi was not stingy, and the banquet was extremely rich and exquisite.

This kind of palace banquet was prepared early in the morning, and now it is naturally without a trace of heat. Fortunately, it is summer and autumn, so it is not a problem to eat some cold food, otherwise the people using the chopsticks would be afraid

I can't eat anymore. However, the most important thing about the banquet given by the emperor is not what is eaten, but the honor and dignity. Just like the invited clan members are all close to Kangxi, this means that the emperor treats them in the clan

In order to confirm their status in the palace, only the direct descendants of these clan princes were present. Only those who received the jade certificate were eligible to enter the palace, but they could only sit in the side hall.

With a smile on her lips, Yimin was able to deal with the clan members of the Fujin clan with ease. Although she didn't have the opportunity to come into contact with so many clans in her previous life, as the person with the highest status in the harem in this life, she naturally had to deal with the wives of the Fujin clan. Gradually, she also

She figured out her own methods, whether it was testing or trying to please, she accepted them all. After years of experience, she was already very familiar with them.

The outer courtyard of Shufangzhai is the stage. Watching a play is one of the must-have programs for the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the banquet was finished and taken down, Kangxi led everyone to the outer courtyard. Here, various fruits and fruits had already been laid out, and the banquet table

The surroundings were filled with flowers, large pomegranates and other fresh fruits. After everyone sat down, pots of golden crabs were served. In addition to moon cakes, there are two essential things for this Mid-Autumn Festival, that is

Eat crabs and drink osmanthus wine.

The crabs were wrapped in cattail leaves and steamed, then they were dipped in wine and vinegar and tasted the plump crab meat. At this time, everyone felt free to eat as much as they wanted. After all, the crabs brought to the palace from all over the country were all huge and plump.

, which are not comparable to those purchased from the market in each respective government. At this time, the performance began on the stage. In compliance with the monthly order of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are four main plays tonight, namely "Guanghan Walking on the Moon and the Silly Confucian"

"Picking Up Gui", "Dancing in Colorful Clothes with the Fragrance of Laurel", "Hui Chan Palace" and "Guanghan Dharma Assembly".

Yimin watched coldly as the concubines sitting alone at the table below were overtly and covertly wooing the Fujins around them. She calmly and secretly wrote down the friends with whom they had made friends. Even though she had become like a fish in water among the Fujins of the clan over the years,

But there are not many people who really support her fully. Those old Fujins are quite satisfied with her. At least her status and character are in line with their temperaments. In addition, Prince Yu Fujin, who is completely swayed by her, Prince Gong Fujin is the only one.

Counting half of them, the rest are just outsiders. As long as she is pampered for a day, they will naturally not dare to switch to her, but they will inevitably make some small moves in secret.

However, although Fujin's attitude is important, the opinions of the clan members are decisive. Yimin observed the situation of Chengrui and Saiyinchahun without leaving any trace. The three brothers who entered the study room were seated closer together.

Before, I happened to be next to the princes. Naturally, these old and mature foxes were testing the three elder brothers overtly and covertly. Chengrui was steady and kind, Saiyincha was vigorous and sharp, and Baoqing was quite well-behaved among the children of the same age.

Yes, but compared to the previous two brothers, they are much inferior. Yi Min knows how much energy these clan men have. In the previous life, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, everything was difficult. Isn't it because he failed to win over these big men?

Naturally, Yimin will not make the same mistake in this life. Now her son's identity is valuable enough. The rest depends on whether they have the ability to tame these slippery old foxes. Even if they cannot tame them, they must not offend them. Although these things are said now

It's a little early, but Yimin firmly believes that these men have a scale in their hearts, and they know clearly which one is better and which one is worse. As long as their limits are not touched, they will know how to choose? How could Yinsu with such a low background in his previous life be able to

Using the power of the clan to suppress Yongzheng until he was breathless? Isn't it because Yongzheng's series of big moves have pried off the lifeblood of these men? And Yinzhu goes along with them in everything, isn't it obvious who has the better control? Otherwise, isn't it obvious?

With their lofty temperament, how can these men look down on Lao Ba's humble background?

Yimin looked at the actors on the stage, listened to the melodious singing, and sipped the water in the cup. She was pregnant. She didn't dare to eat cold food like crabs. As for osmanthus wine and the like, she was pregnant.

Although there was no hindrance, she still didn't dare to touch things like wine for safety reasons. Fortunately, Kangxi and Xiaohui also knew this. These were all under her own control. They didn't have any objections, and the people below were even more so.

I don’t dare to comment casually. The news of the imperial concubine’s pregnancy has already spread throughout the palace and inside and outside the palace. Who dares to touch Yimin’s bad luck at this time? Isn’t that just asking for death?

Yimin thought about the group of people who had just toasted, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Do you want to use the strength of the crowd to force her to drink? The reason why she deliberately spread the news about her pregnancy today was to avoid falling into a passive situation. Mid-Autumn Festival

Pregnant women must not touch some of the necessary meals and drinks during the festival. Rather than finding excuses to offend others later, it would be better to openly let people know that she is pregnant at the beginning. It would be good if Kangxi did not raise her as a nanny.

How can we allow others to be presumptuous?

The book she deliberately studied with Kangxi back then was not just to let Kangxi know the ins and outs of it. As long as Kangxi understood these taboos for pregnant women, whoever dared to lead her to touch those taboos for pregnant women would be fine.

What a show!

Of course, her many years of childlessness had made many people take it for granted that she would never have another child. Taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to spread the news today, she did not believe that the women in the palace would behave themselves.

This opportunity gave her a thorough look at the forces inside and outside the palace. What's more, if she didn't give those restless people a reason to move, how could she deal with those big-hearted slaves? It's not a problem that the harem has been quiet for too long.

Something reassuring...

The author has something to say: Regarding which of the eight flags is more noble, the specific order is: straight yellow, bordered with yellow, straight white, true blue, bordered with white, straight red, bordered with red, bordered with blue.
