In addition to the occasional gust of autumn wind bringing away a little summer heat, the autumn of the Southern Dynasty is like summer. Even when it comes to the first day, the sky is bright as daytime, not to mention that the palace banquet begins at the third hour of You.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet is held in the Taoxian Hall of Xingqing Palace. The Taoxian Hall has a main hall that is only allowed to enter by officials above the fifth rank in the capital, the front hall that only officials above the seventh rank in the capital and above the fifth rank outside the capital, and the left and right side halls.

There is a corridor connecting the four halls, and there is a road leading to the Imperial Garden from both the left and right side halls.

According to the etiquette system, officials with low official ranks will first enter the venue. The general order is from the front hall to the main hall, then to the royal relatives, and finally the emperor.

The first floor of the main hall is divided into three spacious steps. The top is the position of the emperor, the queen and the concubine. The next floor is the position of the Regent Wen Shiheng and the General of the Assistant State Wen Shiqing. Because Wen Shiqing has not returned, only Wen Shiheng takes his seat on this floor. The third floor is the position of the eldest princess Wen Wenheng and Princess Yuanye Bai Wenheng.

All the ministers had already sat down, and the eldest princess and Princess Yuanbing were also settled. At the third hour of You, Wen Shiheng came with his princess and prince Wen Boyu.

Wen Shiheng was wearing a prince's dress, luxurious and grand, with a bitter breath and majesty all over his body. The princess was wearing exquisite and dazzling clothes. The Southern Dynasty allowed the female family members of high-ranking officials in the capital to participate in the palace banquet, so when the regent appeared, the noble and beautiful women in the capital stared at her for a long time and couldn't take their eyes off.

Shortly after Wen Shiheng entered the hall, the eunuch sang the emperor's arrival. The ministers stood up one after another to salute, and Wen Shiheng stood up leisurely.

Wen Wenlan walked in the front, and his imperial costume was gorgeous and domineering. The ones who attracted the most attention were Guan Yu and Chongjia who followed Wen Wenlan from left to right.

A person with a lonely temperament as cold as the ice and snow in the sky, and a blue dress is like ice made of thousands of years of cold; a person with a charming eyes as charming as the middle of the night, a purple dress outlines his enchanting figure, his lips are as creamy as the skin, and his appearance is fair and beautiful. The corners of his eyes that are covered with heavy rouge can be charming with just one look.

The corners of the clothes swinged, and a breeze brought up the drooping eyes of the beautiful woman and noble woman, which tightened the bright eyes, and could not let go for a long time and could not turn.

There are not many opportunities to see the two Your Highnesses accompanying each other at the same time. Every time I see them, it will always be amazing.

"It is rare to get together at the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet, so everyone can enjoy it." Wen Wenlan was too lazy to say a lot of nonsense. After a few simple words, the sound of dancing moon started, and everyone quickly entered the joy of the palace banquet and the festive festival.

The beautiful shadow danced in the center of the main hall, and Wen Wenlan was completely out of her mind.

Wen Shiheng looked at Wen Wenlan and saw that the wine in front of her had not moved, so he raised his glass, "The moon is full and the people are round. I respect the emperor with a cup, and I will do it first."

After saying that, Wen Shiheng raised his head and drank it all, then turned the wine glass over and signaled Wen Wenlan with his eyes.

Chongjia came over to pour wine for Wen Wenlan. Wenlan was uneasy and accidentally hit Chongjia's elbow, which made Chongjia's hand numb. The wine pot hit the table with a "clang" and the wine spilled all over the table.

"I deserve to die, please forgive me." Chongjia's face changed drippingly. He didn't care about the wine dripping on the ground and the gorgeous clothes on his body, and quickly knelt down and crawled on the ground to apologize to Wen Wenlan.

At every palace banquet, the eunuch who accompanied the priests also had an important responsibility, which was to test the poison.

Guan Yu and Chongjia should have been jointly undertaken by Guan Yu and Chongjia, but Guan Yu would never do such a thing for Wen Wenlan, so the important task of testing the poison fell on Chongjia every time.

Today's palace banquet was tested by Chongjia as usual. Not long after the palace banquet started, Chongjia had already verified every dish, but the wine did not move. When he saw the Regent come to toast, he remembered that the wine had not tried the poison, so he hurriedly picked up the wine pot and prepared to try the poison first. Who knew that he accidentally knocked over the wine pot.

Disturbing the palace banquet and striking the emperor is a serious crime. If the emperor gets angry and holds accountable, it will not be a simple confinement to solve the problem.

Cold sweat soaked his back, Chongjia knelt on the ground and shivered. Following Chongjia's little Hanzi was almost stuffing his head into the crack in the ground.

The vocal music below was just in full swing, and no one noticed the small episode above. Wen Wenlan waved his hand and signaled to forget it. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, she didn't want to disturb her mood.

After receiving pardon, Chongjia quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

"The moon is full and the people are not full, so I have thanked the emperor for giving tea instead of wine here." Wen Wenlan's eyes paused in the empty seat beside Wen Shiheng for a moment, then picked up the teacup and smiled slightly.

Wen Shiheng's eyes were fixed on the wine taken away by the palace maid, and his eyes flashed, "Yes, the second emperor's brother has not returned yet, it is because I have made a mistake."

The wine pot in front of the emperor was spilled. He had no choice but to not accept his wine. He could not get angry. He had to silently take the emperor's words and return to his seat with the empty wine glass. Seeing Wen Shiheng's face was not good, the princess didn't say anything, but when she saw the wine glasses broken into two pieces on the table, her pupils shrank.

Guan Yu and Chong Jia accompanied the sage on the left and right. Guan Yu sat on Wen Wenlan's left and watched the scene of the Emperor's family coldly. He curled up the corner of his lips contemptuously. When he turned his head, he saw Wen Wenyan swaying at him with a wine glass. Guan Yu snorted coldly and looked at him with disgust.

"Does the emperor feel a little uncomfortable?" Seeing Wen Wenlan's face was not good, Chongjia asked heartbrokenly, afraid that his mistake would make Long Yan unhappy.

Wen Wenlan raised his eyes and looked at the peaceful and peaceful singing and dancing in the main hall. He suddenly felt chest tightness, "It's too stuffy here. I'll go out for some breathing, and I'll leave it to you."

After saying that, he kept leaving the Taoxian Palace without notice from one side, and after the time he was about to leave without saying goodbye to watch.

The palace banquet is not the focus, the focus is on what is happening later~

There are only so many words in one chapter, and I always feel that some things are not explained properly. I divide them into two chapters and feel that the plot is slow. Alas, I am too impatient.
