Chapter 144 Several joys and sorrows

Night fell soon, and a round of white full moon hung high in the sky, which was very fitting.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is not like in previous years, only food was given to the families of several important ministers, and no court banquet was held.

In the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager looked at her children and grandchildren surrounded by her, everyone was talking and laughing, not so restrained, it was so lively and lively, it was very pleasing to watch, and she pulled Jingdi repeatedly to express her intentions.

Emperor Jing supported the Empress Dowager without taking any credit, and explained with a smile: "Empress Mother, this matter was brought up by the imperial concubine, as long as you like it."

The queen mother heard the words and looked at the noble concubine sitting beside her, with a smile still on her face, "Oh? The noble concubine really has a heart."

Seeing this, Concubine Zhao quickly said: "Thank you, Empress, this matter is all handled by the empress, and the concubine just mentioned it."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, you are all good children, you all have filial piety, and you know how to mourn." The Queen Mother held Concubine Zhao's hand and patted it gently, and said kindly.

The queen looked at their affectionate appearance, as if they were a family, and she gritted her teeth with hatred, but she couldn't show it, so she just smiled and walked towards them, "Your Majesty, queen mother, everything is ready, let's Let's go outside to enjoy the moon together." As he said, he secretly pushed the imperial concubine away and supported the queen mother by himself.

"Alright, thank you Queen, let's go out and enjoy the moon as a family."

"Yes."

She felt the queen's hostility towards her, but the imperial concubine didn't take it seriously. She had already experienced too many such overt and covert difficulties, so she didn't care. Instead, she went out with everyone to enjoy the moon as usual.

In the small courtyard, Bai Qirou looked at the person in front of him, endured and endured, and said, "Brother, is it really okay for you to stay here like this?"

Bai Qinian on the opposite side looked indifferent, and even thought about filling Bai Qirou's glass with wine, "There's nothing inappropriate, dad is over there, so I naturally want to stay with you, and I stayed because dad agreed Yes, don't worry."

How can you rest assured, that old guy is the best at being a demon. It doesn't matter if he wasn't in the capital in previous years, but he is here this year. If her brother stays here, it's okay for her to be cursed a few times. I'm afraid he will embarrass her father and her brother.

Just thinking about persuading her again, she wanted to say that they lived together in the past few years, and it’s okay if they don’t get together this year. She just happened to be able to visit her mother and grandmother, but before she could speak, she heard the door of the small courtyard open. up.

The two brothers and sisters turned their heads to look over together, only to find that it was Papa Bai, who was still holding a jug of wine in his hands. Feeling their gazes, he laughed, shook the wine in his hands at them, and then walked over and sat down , "Haven't you finished drinking this little pot? Then put it away, and bring it back with your father. It's absolutely delicious."

The brothers and sisters looked at their father who appeared here, and didn't ask why, they just turned around and went to the small kitchen to get an extra set of bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses, and soon began to drink with each other. what do you think...

Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a happy family reunion, but Old General Li looked at his son and grandson sitting on both sides of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he might as well go to the palace to attend a banquet like in previous years.

Ever since his grandson experienced that incident, his temperament has changed drastically. Some time ago, he found out that his father planned to marry again. Not only did he humiliate the lady in the street, but he even lost his temper when he returned home. His father put him in confinement directly.

After all, it was his own grandson who had loved him for many years. Older people tend to soften their hearts. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching soon, Li Yun still refused to let go. It was only released two days later, but after this incident, the father and son became more and more estranged.

The three of them just sat in the yard like this. No one spoke first. Li Yun stretched out his hand first, poured wine for everyone, and then raised his glass and said, "It's rare this year. Let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together as a family."

Seeing this, Mrs. Li quickly toasted, "Yes, yes, you have been at the border in previous years, and it is rare to come back this year. Let's have a good reunion." As he said that, he gave Li Qi'an a wink.

Seeing him pick up the wine glass, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Li Qi'an pour the wine out.

When he acted like this, even Mrs. Li, who had always favored him, turned black. Li Yun was even more straightforward, "Get out! Go back to your room and reflect!"

Facing his furious father, Li Qi'an was not afraid, but just sneered, turned and left.

After being disturbed like this, Mrs. Li lost her mood completely. He sighed and said to his son that he was getting old and couldn't bear it anymore, so he went back to rest first.

Li Yun naturally had no objections, and he was very annoyed, but he still respectfully expressed that he would be sent back to rest.

Mrs. Li waved his hand, "No need, it's so late, you should go to bed earlier." After finishing speaking, he left directly.

In a blink of an eye, Li Yun was the only one left in the yard. He stood there for a while before realizing that he turned around and went to the study...

Some families were happy and some were sad, no matter what happened to other families, Prince Li's Mansion was warm and peaceful.

In the Xinlan courtyard, the three of them who had dinner went directly outside the courtyard. The melons and fruits and refreshments were all ready, and they talked happily together for a while. The lychee was taken out.

When pouring it into the wine glass, Lan Qing smelled the mellow aroma of the wine, and couldn't help but shrugged her nose, "It's good wine when you smell it."

Huo Chenxiao naturally also smelled it, but he was a little surprised when he smelled the familiar smell, "A Thousand Dreams of Morning Dew? It's really good wine."

"Huh? Your lord has drunk it before?"

"Yes, this wine is made by General Bai. The wine he brews is a masterpiece, and he won't give it away easily." Huo Chenxiao nodded and explained.

But I was surprised in my heart. It seems that Miss Bai's family really regarded his princess as her younger sister...

"That's it, isn't that rare, so I should try it." I didn't expect the origin of this wine to be so complicated, so I became more interested.

Seeing the eagerness in her eyes, Huo Chenxiao couldn't help laughing, his eyes were full of tenderness, "Then try it."

Hearing this, Lan Qing picked up the wine glass and took a small sip. She fell in love with it at the time. When she first drank it, it was like drinking the dew in the mountains and forests in the morning. It was very refreshing, and then the aroma of the wine came up. , not astringent or rushing, just a long and mellow wine aroma, which is endless aftertaste.

I've already drank three or four cups. Seeing her stretching out her hand and wanting to pour it down, Huo Chenxiao held her hand, "Qing'er, this wine has a great aftertaste, don't drink too much, you'll get drunk later."

"It's okay, I won't get drunk after a thousand cups, don't worry, my lord, I know it well." Lan Qing said to others.

Just about to continue, but was held by hand, unable to move for a while, looked over with some puzzled, "Your Majesty?"

Under the moonlight, Lan Qing's tender and white cheeks seemed to be glowing, her eyes were watery, and her red lips were dazzled by wine, as attractive as a rose with dew in the morning, Huo Chenxiao's heart moved, and he let go of it unconsciously. hand, heart beating like a drum for a while...
