In the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the Emperor Shi Fang Zhenlin De Hall invited all the ministers, while the Prince Shi Chongwei invited officials to the East Palace in the East Palace. The Eastern Palace, where the crown prince of the country lived, was also called the "Cut Palace". Because it was located in the east of the imperial city, and the east was spring and the color belonged to green, it was also called "Chun Palace" and "Qing Palace".

The East Palace is a large building complex that goes in and out. When you step through the stone bridge and step into the front star gate, it is Wenhua Hall. The prince usually sits in the hall to see things. The back of the Wenhua Hall is the Flattery Palace, which stands together with the Xu Qin and Zhaolian Palace. This is the place where the prince studied and worked, and finally Duan Ben Palace, the prince's residence.

Jiang Anyi followed the crowd and walked through Ningning Gate next to Zhaolian Palace, and suddenly realized that there was a garden here, with bamboo, flowers and stones everywhere, and the fragrance of olive came to his nose. The eunuch who led the way said loudly: "This is Lihua Garden, and His Royal Highness the Prince is waiting for you in the corridor."

In the bright lights, Shi Chongwei wore a golden crown and an apricot yellow python robe. Aside from him was Duke Shen, King Keming of the Prince of Shen. Duke Shen is the Grand Tutor of the Prince, and the third prince of the crown prince is among the three young masters. Currently, King Ning is the Grand Tutor of the Prince, Duke Shen is the Grand Tutor of the Prince, and Zhu Xunpu, the son of the Grand Majesty of the Anguo Gong'anxi, is the Grand Tutor of the Prince of Anguo. As for the Third Prince of the Prince, there is no one yet.

In addition to the third division and three young masters, the East Palace also has the prince’s guests, Zhan Shifu, Zuochunfang, Sansi Shishi, etc. Strictly speaking, the Chongwenguan is not the Eastern Palace, but the nature of a half division and half minister. The Dazheng practice does not completely set up the East Palace institutions, because the prince’s power was too strong in the early Zheng period and tried to rebel. Later, the East Palace was equipped with only about one-third of the officials to avoid arousing the emperor’s suspicion and causing political instability.

After everyone worshipped the prince, they sat down according to the size of the official rank. Although the prince was only ten years old, he stood in the corridor with a majestic spirit and was not frightened. He quoted the classics and expressed his words and made a statement. Jiang Anyi secretly felt sorry for him.

"... All the nobles are knowledgeable and have good character and can rely on their responsibilities. The father selected you and others to assist the Eastern Palace and asked them to treat them with courtesy. The king was young and Lai Qing and others helped them. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I toast with a glass of wine and invite them to drink."

Headed by Duke Shen, everyone stood up and stood up, held a cup and saluted, and then drank it all.

There were not many people attending the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the East Palace. Jiang Anyi calculated that less than forty people, and officials such as Ning Wang and Guo Congshi were in Linde Hall, and Zhu Xupu even took the Prince Taibao from afar. The only officials of the real third division and three young masters came Wang Kefu.

Although the prince is smart, he is young and cannot host a banquet alone. After all, the prince finished his scene and it was time for Duke Shen to sing the opera. As the prince's cousin and the prince's tutor, among the people present, he is the largest official, the oldest, and the funny and free-spirited person, and he speaks with most officials.

Wang Keming held the cup in his hand, stood up and smiled and said, "Everyone is a beautiful lady. On this beautiful time, how can you not have any poems and lyrics? I, Lao Wang, is a rough man, throw away the bricks and jade first. 'On August 15th, I will drink happily in the Lihua Garden. I drink a cup at a time and can only be satisfied with drinking it all'."<

Everyone burst into laughter. The prince couldn't hold on for a moment and sprayed the honey water in his mouth on his disguised sister. Princess Anshou patted her younger brother and said angrily: "Prince, please pay attention to your image."

"My cousin is so funny. What's wrong with pretending? He has to pretend to be a big man."

As she grew older, Princess Anshou gradually understood that under the appearance of her cousin's humorous playfulness, she had a heart that had no way to serve the country, and could only use wine to play, hunt and vent, and relax by being unrestrained. She often played with her cousin, how could she not know that her cousin was actually outstanding in literary talent and talent?

Amid the laughter of everyone, Wang Keming calmly picked up the wine jar at his feet, flowing water from his mouth to mouth, and drank two pounds of Mingyuexiang in one gulp.

"Duke Shen is good at drinking", "Duke Shen, I will be honored with you with a glass", "The true poem is like a person, heroic, and I admire you inexplicably."

For a moment, all kinds of flattery flew together, and flattery was sensation.

Princess Anshou frowned and cursed softly: "Is a group of flatterers, my cousin will not pay attention to them."

But the prince said with a mature age: "With the light and dust, the cousin will not be as you said. He will definitely have another drink with everyone."<

As if it was to verify the prince, Duke Shen walked down the corridor staggeringly and came to the riots. You drank one cup after another and one cup after another.<

The prince glanced at his sister proudly, but attracted his sister's ear-twisting skills. He had to beg for mercy with a bitter face and said, "Sister, image, image."

Most of the people attending the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner have prepared their poems and essays. Some even started to polish the past few months, and were preparing to shine on the Mid-Autumn Festival, which can attract the attention of the king or prince, and may be a shortcut to the sky.

A short-bearded Confucian scholar stood up first and said loudly: "Your Highness, Duke Shen was just now in front of his pearls and jade. My minister Cheng Mingdao has a poem "Ode to the Moon". I asked the prince, Duke Shen and his colleagues to correct me. 'The jade shanks next moon wheel, and I picked up the new dew in front of the palace. I can't do anything in the sky until now, so it should be Chang'e thrown to others'."

Cheng Mingdao is the Siyilang of Zuochunfang, seven years ago. This poem about enjoying the osmanthus in the Mid-Autumn Festival Moon was written with a relaxed and happy look. It was exactly the same as this scene. Everyone applauded. Duke Shen walked over with a wine glass and stuffed it into Cheng Mingdao's hand, and smiled and said, "Cheng Siyi, you are a great talent. The poem is much more beautiful than my master. You have to drink two jars of wine."

After receiving the wine glass handed over by Duke Shen, Cheng Mingdao smiled proudly and said, "Thank you, Duke Shen, for your praise. Cheng is unable to drink this glass. "<

The prince knew only a little, and saw that everyone was applauding, so he naturally shouted loudly and said, "Gang Cheng's hostess has a glass of fine wine, and the dancer sang and celebrating this Qing Autumn."

The singing and dancing started, and the banquet reached a climax. With Cheng Mingdao as the pioneer, everyone was unwilling to fall behind and showed themselves in front of the prince like a peacock spreading his tail. Unfortunately, the prince was only ten years old and had limited appreciation ability. He was so energetic that he applauded over and over again. He gave wine, and the people in the seat became more and more excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Taking advantage of the time of singing and dancing, the prince yawned and whispered to Princess Anshou beside her, "Sister, why haven't my brother-in-law come out yet?"<

Wei Youcheng and Princess Anshou have gone through the second step of "asking for names". Everyone in the whole country knows that Anshou mainly married Wei Youcheng, the grandson of Wei Xiang, so the prince did not hesitate to call Wei You brother-in-law.

Princess Anshou glared at the prince with a blushing face and said, "What's the hurry? Don't you know 'I'm not afraid of having a good meal'?" Although she said this, she was still a little anxious. Anshou stood up and looked in the direction where Wei Youcheng sat.

Wei Youcheng sat in the same place with Jiang Anyi and Zhang Yucheng today. The three of them were among the top three in the same subjects. This time they were all selected as direct bachelor's degree in Chongwenguan. The relationship was naturally closer than the others. The three of them chatted happily together. Seeing everyone writing poems and fu, Wei Youcheng didn't care. He carefully prepared the "Moon Fu" himself. After reading it, Wei Xiang was so proud that he praised his literary talent.

However, Wei Youcheng didn't want to rush to take action. First, staying behind can end the finale, and second, I want to see what Jiang Anyi did first. The name of Jiangnan Cixian is not a big deal. I don't know if his empowerment overwhelms the poems Jiang Anyi did. Wei Youcheng was both worried and looking forward to it.

Jiang Anyi was not in a hurry. In the memory of the demon, the poems of Mid-Autumn Festival are a lot. They can surprise everyone by picking up a single piece of tea. Master Guangming advised himself to pour seven points of tea and leave three points of room for leeway. His poems are good, and he should also make other people's poems famous and show his face in front of the prince.

The figure that Princess Anshou looked at was discovered by Wei Youcheng. One of his eyes was staring at Princess Anshou. Seeing that the princess was looking for him, he knew it was time to appear. After the singing and dancing stopped, Wei Youcheng quickly walked into the corridor and bowed deeply to the prince. Then he looked at the prince affectionately and said aloud: "Your Highness, the prince, I am moved by the beautiful scenery tonight. There is an article "Moon Fu". Please ask the prince and the prince for advice."

"...If the air clears the surface of the earth, the clouds gather at the end of the sky, the waves begin to wave, the leaves of the wood are slightly dissipated. The chrysanthemums scatter in the mountains and peppers, and the geese flow in the river. They rise to the leisurely and leisurely nature, and descend to the amiable and elegant brilliance. The long river is hidden, the soft only snow is condensed, and the round water mirror is round. Watch the frost and white, and the ice is clear. The king is disgusted with morning joy, enjoys night banquets, collects wonderful dances, and relaxes the Qing county. Go to the candle room, the moon hall, the fragrant wine is on the mountain, and the piano is recommended..."<

"Okay, okay", there were endless applause. Princess Anshou stared at her beloved man who was handsome under the moon, elegant and graceful, and could not help but have stars in her eyes.

The prince's playful teasing sound came from his ears, "So sour, sister, you are so good at teeth, and you are not afraid of being sore."<

Princess Anshou didn't care about refuting her younger brother, and pricked up her ears to listen, for fear of missing every word that her lover spit out.

After Wei Youcheng finished reciting, applause was thunderous. The prince stood up excitedly and said, "Wei Qing was very talented. Yongchang was the paper for Yongchang. Today, "Moon Fu" is probably another good story. People come and give you three glasses of wine."

Duke Shen personally brought the wine to Wei Youcheng and said with a smile: "Youcheng, don't let An Shou down. Come and drink three cups in full."

Wei Youcheng saluted respectfully and said solemnly: "Youcheng dares not, nor can you."

As soon as the "Moon Fu" was released, no one else had the interest to write poems and essays, but the prince was interested. He had heard of Jiang Anyi's name and was full of curiosity about the top scholar who passed the third year of the year. His father even claimed to be a national scholar. I'm afraid that only Jiang Anyi is the rival of his brother-in-law.

With the same heart as the whole Lihua Garden became strangely quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi was having a happy chat with Zhang Yucheng, but suddenly the surroundings became quiet. The two raised their heads and realized that they had become the focus of everyone's gaze.

Zhang Yucheng smiled and pushed Jiang Anyi, indicating that it was time for him to go on stage. He was so talented that he could not keep a low profile. Jiang Anyi stood up with a little smugness and walked quickly to the prince to salute. The prince had never seen Jiang Anyi before, so he looked at him curiously, and glanced at Wei Youcheng on the other side from time to time. The comparison was self-evident.

"Jiang Qing, I heard that you are a Jiangnan Cixian. Last time, Eunuch Liu said that he was the happiest thing to get your birthday poem. I don't know what good works there will be tonight, so I will listen to it with my ears." The prince said with great interest.

Duke Shen held the jar of wine with his left hand and patted Jiang Anyi on the shoulder with his right hand, and laughed at him: "World Hou, wine will make the cowards brave. Do you want to have a jar of courage first? Whether it is good or bad, you have to drink this jar of wine for me."<

Jiang Anyi smiled and took the wine from Duke Shen, removed the seal, tilted his head and poured it down, and was extremely heroic. The prince's eyes lit up, and he reached out to hold up his honey kettle, followed suit and drank it hard, but An Shou snatched it, and cursed: "You are the prince, what are you learning from those rough people?" He cursed, and he also had the urge to raise his glass to drink hard.

He threw away the wine jar, and Jiang Anyi whistled out a long voice and chanted loudly: "When will the bright moon come? I ask the blue sky with wine. I don't know what palace in the sky is today. I want to ride the wind, but I am afraid that the jade building and jade pavilion are cold and the high places are cold. I dance and play with the clear shadows, how do I feel like I am in the world? Turning on the red pavilion, lowering the beautiful house, shining without sleep. There should be no hatred, why do things go far away? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing, and this matter is difficult to be complete in the past. I hope people will live long and share the beauty of the moon together thousands of miles away."

Jiang Anyi originally wanted to quote the song "I don't know the moon when I was young", because the prince was young and interested in the white jade plate. He was so excited by the wine that he couldn't help but recite "When will the bright moon come?" It felt that only this poem could compete with "Moon Fu", and he should drink a jar for "When will the bright moon come?"
