The Mid-Autumn Festival in the Song Dynasty was not as simple as in modern times, two moon cakes, even if a meal was over, as for the moon, it is estimated that many people just glanced at it, and sighed that the moon is really fucking round. At this time, there are many festival activities in the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to the moon sacrifice, feasting and drinking, there are also poems and moons, guessing lantern riddles, putting lanterns, of course, Hangzhou also has the sea tide, but for Zhao Yu, it is impossible to watch the tide, only to stay for next year.

At this moment, Wang Yu's dance and Su Lan's song can be said to be overwhelming, and no one dares to come out to show off. Zhao Yu looked at the depressed looks of the women in the field, and couldn't help but feel sorry for them, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty was not so disgusted with giving birth to a daughter, but whether it was a big family or a small person, he would carefully teach and learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female celebrity cooking, in order to marry a good family. What's more, these scholarly families and eunuch families have naturally received a good education since childhood.

And the show girls who can sit on the field to accompany the banquet are from hundreds of thousands of candidates, after layers of selection and selection, which one has two hits, they naturally know that once they enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea, and the emperor's harem is huge, not to mention being favored, and even the opportunity to meet is very rare. Now that they can accompany the banquet when the status of the concubine is undecided, everyone wants to seize this opportunity and show their brilliance in front of the emperor, in order to be able to get the favor of the saint, but they are deflated at the moment.

Zhao Yu just wants this effect, even if Su Lan refuses to play, he will try to get him on the stage, as for the result, don't think about it, amateur will never be as good as professional, even if he has changed careers for many years. And his purpose is to see the performance of those show girls in hopeless situations, you must know that as the emperor's wife, she is not only pampered in the palace, but also has to take responsibility at extraordinary times.

Thinking about the Empress Dowager Xie lying in the coffin, she has set up two emperors, listened to the government for several years, and finally presided over the overall situation of surrender, how much pressure she has to bear. And the Empress Dowager Yang, who slept in the other courtyard, was just an ordinary concubine in the past, who had never been in contact with political affairs, and was ordered to escort the two princes out of the palace when the country was ruined and the family was in danger, and took on the heavy responsibility of restoring the country. Needless to say, the hardships experienced during this period are needless to say, parents and children were killed in the escape, all betrayed relatives, and their lives hung by a thread several times, but they still had to fight hard to preside over the government.

Therefore, a queen not only has to manage the harem and raise the prince, but also can pick up the burden of governing the country at a critical moment. And the current battle for the restoration of the country has just kicked off, and the victory and defeat are still in the opposite direction. The focus and direction of Zhao Hao's work will still be to focus on the military aspect, and if necessary, he will lead the troops to recruit in person, so he has no heirs, and the backyard can only be handed over to the queen and the queen mother to take care of.

In the event of a war, someone must be in charge of stabilizing the political situation, conscripting troops and food, and raising military expenses. And according to the convention, the queen is in charge of the country, even if there are ministers to help deal with it, the queen needs to be responsible, courageous, even if the emperor dies on the front line, she has to provoke the beam, to ensure that the national line is not lost. If you can't even bear the current small setbacks, it's useless for such a queen to have a fart. Of course, all this is also based on her loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty and the emperor, otherwise her ambitions swelled and she took the opportunity to usurp the throne and become Wu Zetian, wouldn't she want to cry without tears......

When Zhao Yu's banquet began, he deliberately put Li Sanniang and Chen Shu, who had not entered the second election, on his left and right, and these people in this position must know what it means, not only to show that they are close, but can be said to be favored. And during the banquet, he chatted with the two without concealment, talking about the past, in fact, he had begun to put pressure on many show girls, especially the five girls who had passed the re-election, making them feel that the position was decided, and there was no hope for how to behave.

Sure enough, it can be seen from the performance of some people in the banquet that they have given up, but there are also those who are trying to fight for it, especially Cheng Su, Wang Yu, and Lei Yan, who have passed the re-election, are all vying to perform, and even the restrained Zhang Ping sang a song, but Wu Xi did not move. Zhao Yu felt very strange, did this Wu girl plan to give up the competition, or was she not good at singing and dancing? Makes him a little confused. But he thought that judging from his series of small actions in the moon sacrifice, Wu Xi wanted to attract his attention, indicating that he was still motivated.

But when Zhao Yu was thinking about how to save the scene, Wu Xi stood up, which made him both surprised and not surprised. Judging from the five show girls who have passed the second selection, although Wu Xi's appearance is also a standard, it is not as good as a few others; And he must have known that he was inferior to others in singing and dancing talents, so he chose to watch quietly, but he did not expose his shortcomings; But when the women were frightened by Su Lan and were cowardly, and the scene was embarrassing, she stood up to save the scene, and it was impossible not to attract her own attention.

"Don't fight, high!" Zhao Hao understood what Wu Xi was thinking, and couldn't help but praise secretly. At the beginning of his meeting with him, he did not choose to actively perform to attract his attention, but chose a small action like spring breeze and rain to provide convenience for himself, but he successfully left a deep impression on him. In the subsequent banquet, he should have known that his singing and dancing were not as good as Cheng Su and Wang Yu, so he chose to hide his clumsiness. But when the difficulty appeared, he stepped forward and successfully shifted his attention to him.

"Your Majesty, the wine is finished, and the slave family dares to ask Your Majesty to play with your sisters!" Wu Xi got up and saluted.

"Oh, I don't know what kind of game to play?" Zhao Yu thought about it and asked.

"Your Majesty, the Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation folk often guess lantern riddles, chant poems and sing the moon play, all night long, the slave family will invite Your Majesty to have fun with the people!" Wu Xi replied.

"Hehe, since it's a game, it's natural to have some color heads, I don't know what the girl is used to color?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.

"After the slave family entered the palace, they knew that gambling was strictly prohibited in the inner palace, and they were not allowed to use property as a lottery. Therefore, the slave family thought that the drum could pass the flowers, and the winner guessed the lantern riddle, if it was wrong, he made it himself or recited a poem about the moon, okay? Wu Xi said.

"The girl combines the lantern riddle and the moon into one, which is very good. Since the idea came up with the girl, then Miss Lao will preside over the matter! Zhao Yu praised.

"Slave Wu Xi respectfully obeys the order!" Wu Xi listened to Shen Shi and said.

"Let's all respect Miss Wu's orders!" Zhao Yu raised his hand to excuse him, and then took the lead in leaving his seat and smiled.

Zhao Yu is emperor naturally no one dared to tell him what to do, in the name of urgency, accompanied by Wang De temporarily left, and slowly appeared in the dining room temporarily set up in a corner, only to see that the table that had just been removed was neatly placed on one side, and the leftovers that had just been used were also placed on it.

"It's all here?" Zhao Yu looked at it and twisted his face and asked Wang Dedao.

"According to His Majesty's orders, the small ones will remove all the meals as they are, and no one will dare to move without orders!" Wang De replied.

"Okay, are they all marked?" Zhao Yu stepped forward and asked again.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the small ones let people write down the names and surnames of the show girls, and put them on a few, and they will never be wrong." Wang De replied.

"That's a good job!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, sure enough, he saw a small two-inch-long note pressed under the wine jug of each table.

"What is the purpose of Your Majesty's order to halve the amount of dishes served, and to order people not to move the remaining tables?" Wang De was busy for a long time, but for some reason, he asked suspiciously.

"Today we served eight dishes, four cold and four hot, as well as a bowl of soup and a plate of shortbread. A young woman can barely eat enough, and I am half full after eating. Zhao Hao touched his stomach and smiled.

"Well, what Your Majesty said is true!" Wang De squinted at the plates on the table used by His Majesty, and the plates on the table were clean and could be seen, and he nodded hurriedly.

"But if you look at these, there's a lot left, especially the shortbread that only takes a bite and then discards it!" Zhao Yu ordered the leftovers on the table again.

"Exactly, these show girls are all from wealthy families, and they are used to eating and drinking, and in the presence of His Majesty, they can't help but be restrained, and it seems rude to eat clean!" Wang De said. In my heart, I secretly said that there are a few emperors like our family in the world, and they always eat in pots and bowls.

"But there are also those who eat them all, but they are not from poor families!" Zhao Hao smiled.

"Miss Li and Miss Chen know Your Majesty's rules, so naturally they won't be left, and they can't be counted!" Wang De smiled.

"Miss Zhang's house is also the house of the eunuch, isn't it also clean?" Zhao Yu picked up a note on the dining table and looked at it.

"Well, that's good. It seems that he is a good boy who knows how to be diligent and thrifty! Although Wang De didn't eat as clean as His Majesty, he had already seen the bottom, especially the plate of shortbread that had been eaten. You must know that the shortbread was ordered by the little emperor to be made with miscellaneous grains, and it was rough and hard, and it was difficult to eat, so many people took a bite and put it down.

"You see, although I haven't finished this yet, the dishes on the plate have only moved to one side, not all the plates, and the bitten cakes have been eaten!" Zhao Yu pointed to the two adjacent tables again.

"Oh, it's Miss Wu's. She is not rude in this way, and she can barely eat enough, which is still very decent. Wang De flipped through the note.

"Let these go back home, don't delay their youth." Zhao Yu took down some notes while reading them and handed them to Wang Dedao.

"Your Majesty, it's still impossible to let it go, even if you send it back, no one will dare to marry, you can only end up in the old mansion, it's better to wait for amnesty and release!" Wang De listened and hurriedly said. And who would have thought that he would lose his fame and wealth because of a meal. If they knew that the little emperor had so many ghost eyes, I am afraid that no matter how unpalatable the meal was, they would be able to eat it cleanly.

"It's up to me to say this, keep them in the palace to eat white rice!" Zhao Yu said with some dissatisfaction when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, if the selected show girls can't get the title, they can also be scattered into the palaces as female officials, or engaged in miscellaneous labor." Wang Deyan said.

"Well, that's all there is to it." Zhao Yu sighed and said, "Let's go, go to the dining room to find some food, I feel more and more hungry." ”

"yes, I'm afraid it's going to be the middle of the night, and I still have to eat some forbidden hunger." Wang De nodded frequently after hearing this, and led the little emperor straight to the dining room......

When Zhao Yu came back from eating and drinking, the venue was arranged again, and the book table was replaced and arranged into a circle, not only snacks, fruits, but also the four treasures of the study. Poles were erected around the perimeter, and a row of lanterns was hung with riddles written on them.

"Oh, what a talented person in this lantern riddle!" Zhao Hao walked to the lampstand and looked at it, each lantern riddle is all compiled with poems with the theme of the month, not to mention whether it should be the topic, only this literary foundation, Zhao Hao sighed to himself.

"Your Majesty, this is all made up by Miss Wu!" A small yellow door guarding the lampstand replied.

"It's really powerful, if a man is only afraid of being a jinshi, it's not difficult!" Zhao Yu nodded and said.

"Your Majesty has a good reputation, the little girl is shallow, where can she afford it!" At this time, Wu Xi took two more lanterns and said with a smile.

"I can afford it, but I can write hundreds of poems about the moon in a short time, and I am afraid that Hanlin in the palace can't do it. But the girl took advantage of it, and the riddles are all from you, so naturally every guess hits! Zhao Yu said with a non-joking expression. secretly said in her heart that this little girl really has a heart, and in a few words, she successfully won the opportunity to show her talent and attracted her attention again.

"Your Majesty immediately ordered the slave family to preside over this matter, and he should be dedicated, and the slave family will be the middleman, and he will not participate in the game, so as not to lose justice." Wu Xi hung up the lantern and said.

"In order to help the fun, I put some colorful heads, and the girl can't participate, it's a pity." Zhao Hao listened and said.

"Although it's a pity, the slave family can't be unfair, so we can only stay next time!" Wu Xi replied.

"It's really rare for a girl to be able to see it!" Zhao Yu nodded. He knew that the government and the opposition were proud to be rewarded by the palace, but he could take the initiative to give up this rare opportunity, which could not but be admired. On the other hand, it is a long line to catch a big fish, and it will not lose a big fish because of a small one.

"Your Majesty, Miss Wu is indeed a talented person, and she will be properly arranged in this short period of time, which is not something that ordinary people can do." After he left, Wang De pointed to the venue in the sidewalk.

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, the greater the ability of some people, the more evil they will do in the future, I think that Chen Yizhong can also be called a talent for a while, but after stealing the phase, he brought disaster to the country and the people, and almost destroyed the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Yu frowned and said.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, you really have to choose one well, so as not to leave trouble." Wang De nodded yes.

"I must verify the matter entrusted to you as soon as possible, and see if anyone has accepted bribes to secretly act as ghosts, and exclude those who are truly virtuous and virtuous, so as to deceive the Queen Mother." Zhao Yu once again advised, "Those who have inquired about the news in the palace and asked me about my likes and dislikes should also find out if it is related to the Xiu Nu's family." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the little one will do his best to verify and will not tolerate it!" Wang De Shili said. But in his heart, he secretly sighed that there was such a shrewd master, and it was difficult to make trouble, and he couldn't help but sympathize with these show girls in front of him. The little emperor is a pit step by step, waiting for a long time to jump in, and one wrong step will fall from the sky to the ground, but think about it, if you have a difficult heroine, it is enough for yourself......
