Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 88 The Mid-Autumn Festival
The Mid-Autumn Festival has been around since ancient times. People have worshiped the celestial phenomena. The sun is yang and the moon is yin. The Mid-Autumn Festival is when the moon is at its fullest. People worship the moon and form a festival, which has been passed down.

Every era has enriched the culture of this festival. At first, offering sacrifices to the moon was the most important, offering sacrifices to the celestial phenomena, and praying for good weather. This was the simple and sincere wish of the ancestors. However, as time went by, the elements of the sacrifice were slowly has weakened, and family reunion has become the most important part of this festival.

Later, the purpose of the Mid-Autumn Festival and all festivals converged, giving gifts.

People should still prefer the full moon, where we hope that we can share the beauty of the moon together for a long time, rather than the Mid-Autumn Festival where mooncakes cost [-] or [-] in a box and are exchanged for supermarket vouchers.

There are not many festivals in this era, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is particularly grand. The major restaurants in Chang'an City have made full preparations for today's Mid-Autumn Festival. The imperial city, especially the Imperial Garden, is extremely lively. Queen Dugu is surrounded by Many ladies chatted with the two, who were the future mothers-in-law of King Yang Jun of Qin and King Yang Xiu of Shu.

The mother-in-law of the Boling Cui clan was a woman with a face full of wealth and honor. She said with a flattering smile: "Mother, the King of Qin is really handsome and handsome. Look at his tall and straight figure, his strong steps, and he has the qualities of a pine tree."

Queen Dugu looked at her son in the distance with great satisfaction. If Yang Jun didn't open his mouth, he would indeed be a handsome young man, but his mouth was too loose.

Empress Dugu was extremely satisfied with the appearance of her five children. Yang Jian was tall, handsome, and strong. The sons he gave birth to all followed his figure. There were some differences in appearance, but their bodies were all taller and more powerful than ordinary people.

"King Qin is still a child with a temper, playing around everywhere. Fortunately, he has good conduct and has never been involved in any bad habits. He is very self-disciplined."

"They are all well-taught by the Queen. If His Majesty and the Queen hadn't set an example, how could all the princes be so outstanding? Your Highness, the Crown Prince, still behaves like Your Majesty. Your Highness, Prince Jin, is now the Superintendent of Daxing City, and he has done extremely well." His Excellency, His Highness the King of Qin, is well-known for his reputation. His Highness the King of Shu has now been canonized as the governor of Yizhou. Although he is young, his mind is far better than others. His Highness, the youngest King of Han, also has a royal demeanor in doing things. He has five sons, and all five sons are top-notch. In fact, your majesty and empress taught me well."

After a series of flattery, all five sons were flattered. Queen Dugu was very happy to hear it. Wouldn't it be fun to listen to these flattery on such a great day.

The queen whispered a few words to the eunuch, and the eunuch went to invite Li Yuan over.

Li Yuan came here and saluted respectfully: "I am a humble minister, Li Yuan. See you, the Queen."

Queen Dugu greeted him cheerfully: "Li Yuan, how have you been helping Prince Jin these days?"

"Thanks to His Highness King Jin for the promotion, Li Yuan will do his best."

"You kid is too rigid in doing things. It's because your own family is too strict." Queen Dugu said, then she looked at the two in-laws beside her and introduced them to them.

"You should also recognize Li Yuan. He is the legitimate son of the Duke of Tang Dynasty. This child is too down-to-earth. His mother and brother are not in good health and have not come today. But I know my sister's child best. He is currently in Daxing. When he serves in the city, he does things in an orderly manner and is very polite. Now that he is old, you should pay more attention to him in the capital."

As a sister, Queen Dugu is very concerned about the affairs of the Duke of Tang. Li Cheng, the Duke of Tang, sees that he will only be around for a few days. He will not let the inheritance of his sister's family be cut off. Naturally, the Duke of Tang will fall. As for Li Yuan, since Li Yuan was not yet married, he also kept it in his mind.

It's just that the Duke of Tang's Mansion is now known as the Duke's Mansion, but it has no reputation. It's probably difficult to find a woman from a high-class family, so she has to show off her face and paint the cake for these people. They all knew that they valued Li Yuan very much and looked up to his worth.

Li Yuan looked at Queen Dugu with gratitude in his eyes. How could he, a talented person, not see what Queen Dugu was doing.

"Where's Tong'an?" Queen Dugu asked.

Li Tongan was also brought to Queen Dugu. The beautiful and lovely Tongan stood in front of everyone. Queen Dugu was so fond of her that she came to her side.

"This is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Tang Dynasty, Li Tong'an. She is getting older, but she still has the temper of a little girl. She often played with me when she was a child. I didn't expect that she would be getting married so soon. Time flies so quickly. .”

Queen Dugu reminded all the ladies that there was still a girl waiting to be married in the Duke of Tang Dynasty.

She really likes Li Tongan. If it weren't for Xiao Menglan's appearance, Li Tongan would have been assigned to Yang Guang, a cute little girl. And when she was born, someone had counted her and said she was noble. To put it bluntly, she was a prosperous husband.

Every large-scale banquet is a large-scale blind date, and the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is no exception, so this kind of thing is inevitable.

Yang Guang was already married, and he led his wife to guess lantern riddles by the pond.

Yang Jun trotted to Yang Guang's side, holding a mooncake and said: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, tell you a joke."

"What joke?"

"Eldest brother brought that girl from the Yun family."

"Huh? That's not true, can eldest brother do such a thing?"

Yang Guang was surprised, this was too brainless. On such an occasion, the Crown Princess was here, and he could blatantly bring the girl from the Yun family here. He knew clearly that Queen Dugu was not happy, and yet he did such a thing. This was not asking for death. road.

Yang Jun said firmly: "I saw with my own eyes that Miss Yun was following the musicians. My brother should have let her join the musicians. If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself."

Yang Guang then went over and took a look. A dozen women in musician costumes were sitting nearby and playing. Their voices were soft and moving. Among them were two Yun family women, Yunqi and Yunrui. There really is Yun Luo. I have to say that the girls from the Yun family are really versatile, and they must be able to play, play and sing a little bit.

Looking at Yun Luo's appearance in shock, Xiao Menglan next to her was also stunned.

The young couple looked at each other, mostly surprised and stunned. They didn't know why this happened. "Your Highness, this..."

"Shh, pretend you didn't see anything."

Yang Guang was stunned and then smiled helplessly. He was really too worried about Yang Yong when he behaved like this. He was not qualified to be his opponent at all.

Yang Yong was also helpless, Yun Luo had to come, and he was extremely obsessed with Yun Luo, so he could only think of this way.

Yun Luo agreed to appear as a musician, and her two sisters were originally palace musicians. He appeared here under the arrangement of the prince.

Although she was covered up, there was no shortage of people present who knew Yun Luo.

Yang Guang pulled Xiao Menglan away from the musician's office. Xiao Menglan said angrily: "There are many rumors between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the girl from the Yun family. If the girl from the Yun family appears here, the Crown Princess will be upset if she sees it."

"The relationship between the two of them is not just gossip, but something real."

"Your Highness, please don't say this nonsense and don't let others hear it."

Yang Guang lowered his voice and told Xiao Menglan about the scene where Yang Yong caught the white rabbit when he went out to play.

The fair-skinned Xiao Menglan blushed instantly, feeling embarrassed and frightened: "In broad daylight, in broad daylight, this is so embarrassing. Your Highness also caught me."

"Shh, be gentle. Let's just pretend we didn't see anything and don't know anything. Brother is really a master at committing suicide."

"Your Highness, it seems that the Crown Princess is also over there."

The two of them looked back. Yun Luo, who was playing at this time, saw the Crown Princess Yuanshi standing not far away. The Crown Princess looked extremely ugly at this time, but Yun Luo was smiling slightly and seemed to be still greeting her. .

Yuanshi clenched her palms and said nothing. She really wanted to make a scene at this time, but her reason told her not to. Only when she got angry would she really lose.

She secretly thought about what Queen Dugu taught her. Even if Yun Luo entered the prince's palace, she would still be a concubine, and she would have to take good care of her then.

She stared at Yun Luo and refused to give an inch.

At this time, Yun Luo stopped playing, put her hand on her chest, and then made a gesture of retching.

The sudden retching was noticed by many people around him, and he made his movements as wide as possible.

Yun Luo immediately left the performance place.

But many people, including the Crown Princess, saw this situation.

Many of the people present are experienced ladies. Who knows what is causing retching for no apparent reason?

Those who don't know Yun Luo just think that the musician is rude, but those who know Yun Luo realize that something serious is wrong. As Xiao Menglan said just now, there are many rumors about the relationship between the prince and Yun Luo. Even she, a person who had only been in the capital for a short time, knew about it, so how could these ladies not know about it.

At this time, Queen Dugu was chatting very happily. The ladies beside her were flattering her and talking about the children's marriage. The marriage of the third and fourth children was also settled today. They only had to wait for the betrothal gift to go through the process. I was in a good mood. The face is full of smiles.

But a palace maid walked up to her, whispered a few words, and informed Queen Dugu of what had just happened. For a moment, Queen Dugu, who was as experienced as she was, couldn't keep her face straight, and her face turned dark with joy.

He immediately restored his smile and said: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a festival of reunions. The prince and the princess are going to announce their arrival. King Jin and Princess Jin are also coming. Don't you know that this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is also thanks to the prince and the princess? Princess Jin has been helping me all the time. I am old now and I feel exhausted recently, so I need more help from young people."

Soon, both Yang Guang and Yang Yong arrived in front of Queen Dugu, and now Yang Yong was panicked.

He just saw Yun Luo retching, so he immediately took the people down first. He didn't even have time to ask, and ordered people to be sent out of the palace. At this time, he didn't know how many people had seen this, and he didn't know if the Queen had seen it. arrive.

At this time, he didn't have any joy of becoming a father for the first time.

The two were greeted by Queen Dugu, who was kind and smiling, but Yang Yong could faintly feel the coolness in his mother's smiling eyes.

"The Crown Princess and Princess Jin are both the most respectful and humble people. They are the wives I chose for you two. They are loved like the apple of their eyes in their respective families. If you two dare to bully them, I will not Anyone who makes fun of you will be severely punished."

"A man should stand upright, and as a royal, he must lead by example. Those who bully women should not be called men!"
