At this moment, there were quite a few people in the pavilion in the center. The rest of the pavilions were also filled with people. Among the aristocratic families, there were always circles.

That was a circle no one else could enter.

Only those in the same class would be able to assimilate into it.

At this moment, there was no one in Mo Li's pavilion who was of low status. If there really was a person whose family background wasn't that high, then perhaps it would be her, and Zhang Muhan, who just came along with the Seventh Marquis?

However, this Zhang Mu Han was not as simple as he seemed to be. Otherwise, how could such a shrewd person like Seventh Marquis always walk together with him?

"The empress has arrived!" The Grand Princess has arrived! " Not long after everyone had taken their seats, a sharp voice resounded throughout the imperial garden.

As the voice fell, the Phoenix Chariot slowly approached. It was bright yellow in color, displaying its nobility and majesty. The empress was dressed in a black phoenix robe. Under the support of Mingzhu's aunt, she slowly walked down the phoenix carriage. Beside her was a beautiful woman in her forties.

This woman was dressed in bright yellow palace clothing and had a phoenix hairpin in her hair. Beside her was a sixteen to seventeen year old girl in a blue dress.

The young girl was extremely beautiful and dignified. A pair of phoenix eyes similar to the woman's had hidden a faint smile. The two dimples on his face made him look peerless when he smiled.

The mother and daughter followed after the empress.

"Greetings, esteemed empress. The empress has lived for thousands of years." The empress descended from the Phoenix Cage, and everyone kneeled on the ground as they cried out, "A thousand years!"

Hearing this, the empress nodded her head and said, "You've all woken up."

"Thank you for the empress's grace." Everyone stood up.

After Mo Li got up, he walked up to welcome the empress. "Imperial Mother, please enter the pavilion and begin the banquet." As Mo Li's voice fell, the Queen looked at him deeply, then said to the woman beside her, "Rong Lan, let's go."

"Yes, esteemed empress." The beautiful woman called Rong Lan was supporting the Queen. Ming Zhu was on the left while she was on the right, while the young girl in a blue dress was following behind her.

As he passed by Mo Li, he winked at him.

Mo Li's expression did not change as he followed them into the pavilion.

After entering the pavilion, the empress naturally sat at the head of the pavilion. As for the woman called Rong Lan, she sat next to the empress with the blue-clothed young girl beside her.

This girl looked calm and elegant. She had a noble aura that made it hard for people to look away.

"Let's start the feast." The Queen looked at the people around her and instructed the pearl beside her.

When Ming Zhu heard this, she hurriedly left the pavilion and instructed the others, "The empress has an order: let the banquet begin!"

The Thousand Autumn Meet, as the name implied, had a myriad of strange dishes, and each of them had their own unique characteristics, as a way to showcase the wealth of the Bright Moon Empire. The Thousand Autumn Meet was divided into an internal banquet and an external banquet. The guests in the banquet were all young noble sons and daughters, and the guests in the banquet were all nobles and officials.

The Empress presided over the inner banquet while the Emperor presided over the outer banquet.

As the empress's voice faded, the eunuchs and eunuchs who were carrying all sorts of pastries entered one after another. One after another, exquisite dishes fell into every pavilion.

In just a moment, the originally empty jade table was filled with dishes.

The Empress opened her mouth to speak, "For this year's Autumn Festival, I hope that everyone will be happy and return home."

"Many thanks, esteemed empress."

Everyone shouted in unison.

The Queen gave Ming Zhu a look, and Ming Zhu said in understanding, "Then, the banquet will now begin. As usual, let's present our skills first. "Last year's number one genius, Princess Zi Yan, would like to go on stage and present her skills first!"

As Ming Zhu's voice faded, the beautiful woman dressed in blue slowly walked out of the pavilion and onto a platform built in the middle of the imperial garden.

Surrounding the platform were countless peony flowers. Standing on top of the stage, her color didn't lose out to the King of Hundred Flowers. The beautiful scenery of the beauties, for a moment, everyone was mesmerized.

Princess Ziyan looked at the crowd and gave a sweet smile before sitting down gracefully. The maid stepped forward and prepared a profound guqin for her. Princess Violet Smoke spoke in a gentle voice to the crowd. "Everyone, for the past year, Violet Smoke has only practiced the zither skill. It's not good to use any other form of humiliation. Please do not laugh at her."

After she finished speaking, Princess Ziyan strummed her zither.

The sound of the lady's zither was extremely soothing, causing everyone to feel as if they were in a dream.

Her anxious mood had gradually returned to normal after Princess Ziyan's zither melody.

When Su Jinyue heard this zither music, she couldn't help but admire it. Princess Zi Yan's face was extremely beautiful, and the sound of the zither seemed to have come to life. Such a woman was truly worthy of her reputation as the number one genius girl.

Su Jinyue thought and closed her eyes, quietly listening.

However, not everyone could seriously listen to this zither music. The zither music was particular to the fated. If one was not diligent, it was impossible to understand.

And amongst those present, there were too many men who had fallen in love with Princess Violet Yan and had forgotten the zither music. There were also too many women who had forgotten to admire her because they were jealous of her. There were simply too few people who could calm their hearts.

The zither music stopped and Su Jinyue slowly opened her eyes. She saw that the woman had already picked up the zither and smiled to the crowd, "Everyone, Zi Yan's song has ended. I hope that this year, I can hear something even better. Let me quickly give up my undeserved title of number one genius, and give it to that person who deserves it. "

The woman's words seemed to make everyone laugh.

As for Princess Ziyan, she had returned to the pavilion.

The Queen clapped first, "Alright! That's great! This girl Zi Yan's zither skills are becoming more and more superb. Even I feel comfortable listening to her. "I wonder which family in the capital has such a good son like this to be able to obtain Zi Yan's azure eyes."

"Esteemed Empress is too kind, but Purple Smoke …" "I did so casually." Princess Ziyan looked bashful.

The empress broke out into laughter. "You did it casually, but you've ruined quite a few beauties present!" Zi Yan, your zither skill has already reached perfection. Now that it's like this, I wonder how those girls will play the zither in the future? This year, I'm afraid there's only chess and painting. "

As the empress spoke, she affectionately pulled Princess Ziyan into a seat.

The smile on Princess Ziyan's face was still as tranquil as ever. For a time, it was indeed because of Princess Violet Flame's zither music that caused many people to fall into silence.

But at this moment, a coquettish voice came from outside the pavilion, "Imperial Aunt, Jiao Jiao has something to say." Lin Yun Jiao's voice sounded from outside.

Hearing this, the Queen was stunned. Looking at the girl walking in from the outside, he was surprised, "Jiao Jiao, how come you are somewhere else? I was just saying that on such a lively day, why haven't I seen you, little girl? Did you run to another pavilion? "

As the Queen spoke, she shook her head helplessly. Compared to Princess Violet Flame's praise, the Empress doted more on Lin Yunjiao. Mo Li had never even dreamed of being doted on.

When Lin Yunjiao heard the empress's words, she immediately felt wronged. "Aunt Huang is only concerned with talking to Princess Violet Flame, how could she remember Jiao Jiao?"

"Little girl, are you jealous?" The Queen laughed softly.

"Aunt Huang, Jiao Jiao has a request." Lin Yunjiao looked at the empress.

"Saying that, you've fallen for something in my palace this time?" The empress seemed to be accustomed to Lin Yunjiao's attitude.

Lin Yunjiao was overjoyed as she heard this. "Imperial Aunt, when I heard Princess Ziyan's zither music, I felt great admiration. If someone else had used another technique to win the title of the most talented girl, they wouldn't have been convinced. How about Aunt Huang gives the order for everyone to play the zither? "

Lin Yunjiao's words caused the empress to fall silent.

"Aunt Huang, is it possible?" Lin Yunjiao looked at her in anticipation.

Hearing that, the empress nodded her head and smiled, "That's good too! It would be difficult for anyone to surpass Zi Yan's song today. Even if there was, it should at least be on the zither, which would allow Zi Yan to be convinced of her defeat. Ming Zhu, go pass on the message. "

Everyone was shocked by the empress's words. He didn't expect that just because of Lin Yunjiao's words, the empress would change the rules of this banquet.

While everyone was still in shock, Ming Zhu had already gone out to pass on a message. "The empress has decreed that during this year's Autumn Festival, all the performers should play the zither. There can be no mistakes."

This sentence caused the entire imperial garden to become restless.

As for Lin Yunjiao, she continued to act like a spoiled child, "Imperial Aunt, Jiao Jiao still has a request."

"You little girl, how come you haven't seen so many things in the past few days?" The Queen pretended to be displeased. However, there was still a smile in his eyes.

"Aunt Huang, Yun Jiao has always admired cousin Crown Prince, and now that she has seen her sister-in-law, it is as good as pie. We have already arranged to spar with each other at the banquet. I wonder if Aunt Huang can be our witness?"

Lin Yunjiao's words surprised the empress. Then, she recalled that this little girl liked Mo Li. Her expression turned slightly cold, but she still nodded her head.

He looked at Su Jinyue thoughtfully, then looked at Lin Yun, "That's fine, I'll listen to you."

"Thank you, Aunt Huang." Lin Yun Jiao's face was filled with joy as she slowly walked in front of Su Jinyue, "Cousin, Yun Jiao has already reported this to Aunt Huang. I hope that sister-in-law will not disappoint her." After she finished speaking, Lin Yunjiao slowly walked out.

Hearing this, the corner of Su Jinyue's mouth twitched. He simply didn't want to bother with Lin Yunjiao. This woman was as fond of tormenting as Mo Xiaoxiao.
