Through the gate of the double star moon Pavilion, and then through the long road, through the Xuanqing gate is the altar.

The altar is not big, but it covers about 2000 steps. It is a huge circle, covered with high-quality marble floor tiles. On the ground, a huge black-and-white eight trigrams are painted with oil insoluble in water. In the middle of the eight trigrams, a two foot high and seven foot wide circular platform is repaired. On the top of the altar, there are three animals and six animals. The wrist of a woman with three pillars is thin The Yellow fragrance is inserted in the bronze tripod, and the smoke is more and more solemn.

At this time, the emperor and all the civil and military officials had already stood on and off the platform. The imperial concubines and ladies and daughters who entered the altar immediately stood in accordance with the seats given by mammy in advance. They were divided into four floors.

Only the emperor, Empress Dowager and empress can stand on the platform. In front of each person, there is a plain colored Futon for kneeling. The imperial concubines and concubines headed by the imperial concubines were arranged from high to low, followed by civil and military officials, and finally the wives and daughters of Su Zijin.

About two hundred people were separated by each other. Standing at the end of the ceremony, they could hardly see what was happening on the altar. Therefore, there was not much to be done. After listening to the ritual officials reciting the prayer, they knelt down with the officials in front of them.

After three worships and three knocks, with the sound of a heavy trumpet, today's sacrifice is also over. After the emperor and the imperial concubines left first, the mother in charge of the matter led the maids to lead a group of officials, wives and daughters out of the altar from the left and right sides of the palace gate to the moon lake of Qing Dynasty.

Due to the continuous heavy snow for several days, the ice on the Qingyue lake is thick, white and slightly transparent, like a piece of high-quality lanolin white jade, white and flawless, faintly suffused with soft light in the sun, which makes people feel a bit comfortable.

For the winter moon festival, high platforms have been built on three sides of the ice. In the middle is a two-layer main platform, on which the empress dowager, the emperor and the empress are seated, and the imperial concubines and concubines with imperial concubine Liu as the first place are seated. There are three floors on the left and right sides of the platform, and men and women sit separately.

This seat is also in accordance with the position, Su Zijin and muyutong are divided into the first seat on the second floor, the upper floor is the princess and the princess of higher rank, and the lower floor is the wife and daughter of each family who have no instructions.

Nearly 300 people poured into Qingyue lake and sat down in different times. According to the custom of the banquet in the past, the emperor took the lead in making a polite gesture. After the first cup of wine was drunk, the winter moon festival was officially opened.

As the dancers in the palace rowed into the center in their skates, the sound of wind music stopped. Under the dance watching, the people gradually relaxed, and the voice of conversation gradually rose.

This time is the best time to listen to the intelligence of each government. Unfortunately, Su Zijin is not in the mood to listen. His eyes have been looking at Princess de sitting on the lower floor of the main platform.

And the goddess of Defei was free and carefree, enjoying the dance from time to time, and chatting with the concubines behind her from time to time, but she did not look at Su Zijin from the beginning to the end. But after three rounds of drinking, he rubbed his forehead as if he was drunk, put the wine cup on the right corner of the lower table, and the maid helped him to turn around and walk out of the main platform, and walked out from the back.

The imperial concubine left, Su Zijin was not anxious. On the contrary, she took back her eyes completely. She raised her glass and looked at the third dance which was near the end. She asked Mu Yutong, who was at the same table with her, as if she were chatting. Could you tell me when today's reward is granted

"It's noon that Duke AI said that he would reward him with general Huo." Mu Yutong answered truthfully.

Su Zijin nodded and asked if he had thought: "that is, before Cuju on the ice, then the talents of the young ladies and the performances of the ladies in the palace will go first?"

"It's supposed to be like this. When the five dances are over, I think there will be ladies of aristocratic families or concubines who will invite themselves to perform. After all, many of the ladies of aristocratic families are full of energy in these days. However, you and I are both engaged. We just need to watch today."

"This general opening performance is nothing but music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I'll go for a walk. If there's something good, come back and say to me." Su Zijin said that he stood up.

Mu Yu Tong naturally knows that Su Zijin said this is for others to listen to. He must have something to do. He also helped him to have a laugh and said, "you, in fact, are afraid that the Empress Dowager should be happy and seek you to perform arts?"

"You are too. Don't tell me how bad it is. I've already emptied all my knowledge. If I don't hide today, I'll make a fool of myself. Now you've told it all. It's a joke. " Su Zijin is slightly shy and angry, frowns and complains about the rain, which makes people around him laugh happily.

"Well, I know. The fifth dance is about to start. If you want to hide, you should hurry and come back in half an hour. If the Empress Dowager asks about it, I will say that you have fallen into the toilet."

"Whatever you say." Su Son Jin pretty wrinkled nose, turned around and went down the stairs.

In other people's eyes, it seems like a quarrel between two small, but do not feel what, ha ha, after a smile, they all put their eyes on the following dance.

However, no one on this side of the people locked their eyes on Su Zijin, while several people on the other side were staring at her from Su Zijin. After watching her stairs, she walked out of the lake along the corridor between the front and rear platforms, and walked into the willow forest on the bank.Layers of willow catkins have no willow leaves in winter, and the brown willow branches interweave together like a net. People can't see through the people inside, but they can only see the figure twinkling. Under such natural cover, people can't tell which way the people inside are going. However, several people who pay attention to Su Zijin are disappointed.

Because the three roads from the willow woods lead to the imperial garden, Taiji hall and the Queen's palace of Kunning. No matter which road is, people come and go, and there is no fork in the road. No one is worried that Su Zijin can make trouble in these places.

It's a pity that Su Zijin, who walks into the willow forest, has to let these people make mistakes. Although the willow forest has only three roads, Su Zijin does not intend to walk.

After walking into the willow woods, he saw that there was no one around. Under the cover of nature, Su Zijin jumped over the second wall at the end and fell into the Jiashan path. This is Su Zijin's previous life occasionally found when escaping, along this road, just can lead to a deserted palace in the Palace - Huantai.

It's not far away from Qingyue lake, but compared with the bustle of Qingyue lake, it's like being in the wilderness. After the flowering season, the Albizzia trees are bare, the top of the high platform is covered with withered vines, and the small rooms on the platform are also dilapidated. The windows are all a big hole, but along this hole, you can see the figure standing back to the inside, which makes Su Zi Jin speed up the pace, walk on the high platform, push open the door.

"I've been waiting for Madame de Fei for a long time."
