Chapter 29

In a few days, it will be Midnight Festival.

The Midnight Festival is a major festival for the whole nation of Nanze. It is held once a year on the second night of the summer solstice.

The people of Nanze country love summer most.

As the saying goes, spring begins, summer prospers, autumn bears fruit, and winter withers.Summer is the most luxuriant season for all things to grow, and the people of Nanze country divide a person's life into four solar terms: spring, summer, autumn and winter: from the beginning of a person's birth to the age of 18 is the spring time of life, babbling and studying hard; From the age of 18 to the age of 36 is the summer time of life, when the body is strong and in full bloom; from the age of 36 to the age of 54 is the autumn time of life, when you have achieved success in learning and full of children and grandchildren; and from the age of 54 From the beginning of the age to the death is the winter time of life, with gray hair and shambling steps.As for the meaning of this festival, it means that in the summer time, the national fortune of Nanze is prosperous, and the people of Nanze are going well and everything is going well.It also means that the citizens of Nanze Kingdom in summer time are young and middle-aged, and it is the peak time of life. It is the time for patriotic citizens to contribute to the country and win glory for the country.And summer time ranks second among the four seasons, so the Midnight Festival is set on the second night after the summer solstice.At that time, the recruits will join the army with good labor, and the veterans will retire with labor commissions.Today is a peaceful and prosperous age, enlisting and retiring from the army is a great joy, and the people of the whole country will celebrate it, just like the Spring Festival at the beginning of each new year.

The royal family also started preparing for the Midnight Festival early.Because, I haven't been able to see Mo Yan for quite some time, presumably, he must be very busy.

According to Xuan'er, this time, many concubines who are interested have already started to prepare the program for the Midnight Festival evening banquet. This time, they will not only be able to win the favor of the emperor and be favored by the emperor, but also be able to win the favor of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Show your skills in front of you.More importantly, this time, the emperor of the neighboring Xiyun Kingdom has just ascended the throne. According to the rules established jointly by all countries, no matter which country newly ascends the throne, they must send envoys to the neighboring friendly countries to present national gifts , to express congratulations and to show friendship.Luckily, this time will coincide with the Midnight Festival of Nanze Kingdom. In order to show the prosperity of Nanze Kingdom to neighboring countries, the royal family will definitely pay more attention to this Midnight Festival than before.It is not difficult to imagine that if any concubine performed well at the Midnight Festival dinner, not only in Nanze Country, but even in Xiyun Country, it would surely spread the word.

I'm a person who doesn't cause much trouble, and I don't want to tire myself out by soliciting such troublesome things during the festival.But Xuan'er sighed all day long, saying that if I don't fight for it, the emperor will definitely not spoil me like before, and saying that I don't care about fame and fortune too much, in a blink of an eye, maybe the emperor will have more concubines .So I couldn't stand her soft words, and I also wanted to improve my status, not to be bullied by the second concubine Yanling, and to let Mo Yan demonstrate his national strength in this meeting with the envoys from neighboring countries.I decided that I should also prepare well.For the sake of himself and Mo Yan, he must startle everyone.

The royal harem was originally a place full of right and wrong, because there were many women, and they were all women with scheming faces and scheming faces.So, for a while, all the maids and even some idle imperial soldiers began to inquire about the strengths of the concubines.
