Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and even if Ayu is nesting in the hall and not going out, she can still notice the joy in the palace.

The incident in Quzhou, and the three concubines in the harem have children, the emperor's son Long was very happy. This Mid-Autumn Festival banquet must be held, and Ayu will also appear that day.

On the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival, the night was so rich that it could not be melted. Ayu leaned against the window and looked up at the crescent moon in the sky.

Zhou Qi took the cloak and draped it on her body, whispering: "Master, be careful of the cold night."

Ayu didn't move, but she still raised her head, and she suddenly said:

"Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, why is the moon not full yet?"

Zhou Qi was slightly stunned and came to her senses after a while.

The full Mid-Autumn Moon also means family reunion.

She didn't know who the master remembered. She had known him for many years, but she had never heard him say anything outside the palace. Now, she looked at her master's cheeks that were as bright as the moon, and suddenly felt a little stunned, not knowing why.

Before she could speak, Ayu had already touched her head and smiled: "Close the window, it's a little cold."

It was as if she hadn't said anything just now.

Zhou Qi had no choice but to swallow what she wanted to say and wait for her to go to bed to rest.

The candle was blown out, the bed curtain was put down, and Ayu's eyes closed and she heard Zhou Qi withdraw, and the hall was silent in an instant.

After a while, Ayu opened her eyes in the thick night.

She looked at the weak moonlight through the gaps in the window. She frowned her thin eyebrows hard, and her hands holding the brocade quilt tightened tighter. Finally, she sighed softly.

She didn't want to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but she had no reason not to go.

I just hope... I just hope not to meet that person...

——

The weather was not good. When Ayu woke up, there was already a layer of mist and rain floating outside. The fallen flowers and leaves were getting harder to clean by the rain. The foggy weather also touched people a hint of irritability in their hearts.

Just like Ayu, she was still lying on the soft couch, but she was staring at the rain outside without saying a word.

Madam Song came in with her medicinal food, and saw this, she was a little worried:

"What's wrong with the master? But I'm not feeling well?"

Ayu immediately came back to her senses, she shook her head: "No, it's just that the rain is a little boring."

Madam Song watched her use the medicinal meal, then she relaxed slightly and said with a smile:

"My master must have been in the palace for a long time. The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the evening can help him relieve his boredom."

Ayu smiled at the corner of her lips, frowned her eyebrows slightly without any trace, and didn't want to say a word.

After lunch, Zhou Qi stared at her for a while before calling her up.

She sat in front of the dressing table and looked at the person in the bronze mirror. She pursed her pink lips and suddenly asked, "Aqi, have I changed compared to when you first met me?"

"What changes?" Zhou Qi asked subconsciously, then smiled: "Master, don't be nervous, you are exactly the same as you were four years ago, but you are getting more and more beautiful."

Such an answer obviously couldn't make Ayu happy. She was so entangled that she almost tore the handkerchief.

How come there is no change?

In the past five years, there should be changes.

He couldn't help but say this in his heart, but Ayu couldn't deceive herself when she looked at the beautiful eyebrows and eyes of the man in the bronze mirror.

She was born with affectionate eyes, which were often praised since childhood. Now, those eyes are only becoming more and more attractive.

She did not apply makeup, and she only had a jade hairpin inserted into her bun, which was simple and simple, and the smoky blue palace skirt added a touch of charm to her.

Zhou Qi looked at her and frowned and said, "Today's palace banquet, the master is so simple, why not apply some mouth fat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ayu shook her head and refused:

"No need, it's getting late, it's time for us to pass."

When he headed to the Taihe Palace, the rain was getting lower and lower. Ayu did not let Madam Song follow her, but only brought Zhou Qi and Xiao Fuzi to her side. Zhou Qi held a blue oil-paper umbrella, which was enough to cover the two of them.

He was led to the position by the palace servant, Ayu glanced at it, there were three empty seats above. She called a palace maid and asked in a low voice:

"Has the Empress left a place for Concubine Shu?"

After the palace servant nodded, Ayu knew who the three people who had not arrived yet were.

If Ayu had already started eating the dishes and pastries on the table before, but now, she hasn't even looked at them. During pregnancy, the most taboo thing is to not control her mouth.

Now, a hint of curiosity rose in her heart.

Later, will the emperor arrive with the queen or with Shufei?

She wiped the corner of her mouth with a veil, which was actually to cover up the smile that moment.

As soon as the thought of this person fell, a person sat beside her. Ayu turned her head and looked at her, a little surprised: "How could we be the same seat today?"

The one sitting next to her was not someone else, but Madam Zhou.

Meiren Zhou was rubbing her hair that was a little wet. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "I am the same as Meiren Xu. If she can sit, I can't sit? Sister Yu is so partial?"

Ayu supported her cheeks with her elbows, curled her eyes and smiled: "I have always been partial, how did Meiren Zhou know?"

Meiren Zhou put away her veil and heard this, she begged for mercy:

"I can't tell my sister, please spare me." The two of them had a sudden change of words: "I was going to wait for her in my sister's palace, but my sister's palace said that she needs to be slower, so I asked me to come first."

If you are slower, why can you do it? You just want to wait for the emperor to pick him up.

Ayu's eyebrows moved slightly and couldn't help but say, "I see that the Queen is not here yet."

Speaking of this, Ayu looked up again and looked up. The three empty positions were extremely noble, but they were a little funny at this time.

The respect of the wife is given to her, and the concubine is pregnant with a child, so he cannot ignore it.

Just thinking about it makes me feel very difficult.

Ayu thought that if she was the emperor, she would come alone, so as to avoid being embarrassed.

Unintentionally, her eyes had already swept the hall, but others didn't know it, but she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact was that it was not as she thought. When the palace servant informed him, the three of them came in together.

Ayu and Meiren Zhou looked at each other. The emperor had always been sensible and would never pick them up at the same time.

That is, someone happened to meet on the road?

The emperor came and the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet officially began. Yu Yu Guang glanced at Mei Ren Zhou, and saw her eyes closed and her interest was lacking. She knew in her heart that for these noble girls, she had long since participated in these children's banquet festivals.

Unlike her, she was holding a cup and waiting for the show to come out with anticipation.

Ayu withdrew her gaze. She had long known that she was not as good as others. She would not feel any more lost even if she realized it again.

When the actor in the hall stepped on his toes and twisted his body to dance the present dance, a man quietly stepped in through the hall gate.

He was wearing a green robe with green bamboos coming out of the fine and delicate formations. His back was straight and his eyes were closed. He sat silently and nodded to the palace servant beside him. Without saying a word, he exuded a delicate and tenderness.

Since he entered, he never said anything. At this time, he pressed against the desk table and gently pinched the tip of his eyebrows with his slender fingers, and his whole body was exhausted from the inside out.

The singing and dancing in the hall changed again and again, and suddenly the actor stepped back and changed a group of people.

Ayu realized something, her eyes widened, her ears turned red with shame. She looked at the high platform and just met the man's dark eyes. In just a moment, the man looked away.

After the face-changing program started, the discussion around her did not stop, and Zhou Qi couldn't help laughing beside her:

"It seems that Eunuch Yang listened to his master's words last time."

Ayu pulled off her sleeves in annoyance: "I'm still laughing!"

To cover up her embarrassment, she hurriedly picked up the tea, touched the corners of her lips slightly, wiped it clean with a veil, and then looked up in a calm look.

The joke was also a joke. She had indeed not seen this face-changing acrobatic for a long time.

But when she raised her eyes, there was a person in her sight.

Five years seem to have left no traces on his face, but he has become more mature and has clear edges, but under the candlelight, he is so gentle that he is not decent.

In that moment, Ayu almost lost her composure. The teacup in her hand swayed lightly, and the warm tea water instantly splashed on the back of her hand.

It didn't hurt, but it made her come back to her senses.

Ayu suddenly withdrew her gaze, her pink lips were pursed unconsciously, and no one knew it. Her fingertips holding the handkerchief in her sleeves were trembling slightly.

Her disobedience can be hidden from others, but she cannot hide it from the beauty Zhou beside her.

Meiren Zhou covered her up and then frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ayu's face turned slightly pale and she shook her head slightly: "It's nothing, but the temple is stuffy and I feel a little uncomfortable."

As she spoke, she held a veil and covered the corners of her lips, looking like she was about to vomit.

Zhou Meiren's face changed slightly, and she never doubted anything. She said, "Why would you like to ask the emperor to ask you to go back and rest?"

Ayu was most afraid of showing her face at this time, and she immediately shook her head:

"No need!" When she said this, she looked up at the platform. The man was talking to the emperor. She smiled weakly: "Don't disturb the emperor's interest, I'll breathe and breathe."

Meiren Zhou looked upwards and knew that she was right, so she didn't stop her again.
