Since Zhao Yu's wedding, he has been living alone in Zhiyuan Hall, and the concubines have their own homes, and they have only had a spring night with Li Sanniang for two months, and the others are still not wet with rain and dew. It's not that he didn't want to, but he was about to deal with the Wu family's affairs at that time, but the result was unpredictable, so he didn't want to get too involved in his feelings, so as not to fall into passivity and make wrong judgments. In addition, the rest of them should not be allowed to have disagreements about this, and have the idea of coveting the back position, which will make the backyard more chaotic and add trouble to themselves.

Now that the major event has been decided, the Wu family's withdrawal from officialdom is a foregone conclusion, and Wu Xi's position will be guaranteed, but he will be punished slightly. But a series of things made him have no time to take care of the affairs of the harem, but he didn't expect that today because of such a ridiculous reason, he was 'supervised', and he really wanted to leave, how could he be tripped by his wife.

And Zhao Yu also knew that this was just a reasonable reason for the women to find themselves a reason, after all, they also knew that their responsibility was to give birth to an heir for the emperor and continue the royal bloodline, so as to consolidate their position in the palace. Although he is not good at the affairs of Fengyue, he is not ignorant of customs, and he is naturally willing to jump into the pit and be 'guarded' by them, so he also obeys their arrangement.

invited someone to take a half-day class, and Zhao Hao took care of the meal as a matter of course. You must know that even if you are a family, you don't eat together on weekdays, and each palace can order food from the imperial dining room, and there is also a small kitchen that can be solved by yourself. So unless it's a family feast or a special day, it's rare for them to have a meal together. But he didn't dare to drink, it was the beginning of the year, the war was urgent, and there were still a lot of official documents to deal with in the afternoon, even if there was no urgency, he couldn't delay it for too long.

The ladies have also become accustomed to the emperor, the meal is simple, but strive to be delicious, and the most important thing is not to waste, so the family feast ends in a joyful atmosphere. Zhao Hao took a nap and immediately threw himself into the battle with the official documents, and before that, in order to reduce his workload, he asked the Imperial Front Office to divide the official documents into several levels, and now he asked the heads of each department to discuss them in advance, and attached their opinions on how to deal with this matter.

Zhao Yu did this, seemingly conniving at his subordinates to overstep their authority and participate in political affairs, giving them the opportunity to seek personal gain. But he didn't think that this would reduce his workload; They can also enable him to listen to many opinions; The three can also exercise the ability of subordinates to deal with affairs. After all, these people can't always stay by their side, and one day they will have to go out and stand alone.

As for whether they will seek personal gain, Zhao Yu feels that this possibility cannot be ruled out, but it is precisely this touchstone that can test them. And if you want to seek personal gain, it is not easy, after all, it has to go through your own review and countersignature by the deacons before it can take effect. Even so, his workload is still heavy, and those battle reports and information sent by the bureau need to be read carefully one by one, because a seemingly inconspicuous piece of information often hides valuable clues that can capture fighters.

It was not until the evening that Zhao Yu basically finished processing the official documents, and after sending them to the Imperial Front Office for reorganization, they were sent to the two provinces and the Privy Council tomorrow morning so that they could be processed in time. Of course, it is not that he can let it go after the approval, but it is still necessary to ask whether it has been implemented, and to get feedback on the situation, and if it is not implemented, it must be supervised and punished.

According to the usual practice, at this hour, Zhao Yu got up and moved a little, and then prepared to eat. If there is no urgency, I will take a walk in the garden after dinner, read a book in bed after coming back to wash, and go to bed when the lights are turned off. But when he walked out of the study, he found that there were more people, and Su Lan was giving them a lecture and talking about the rules.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Seeing the emperor, everyone saluted in unison.

"Oh, this is ......" Zhao Yu raised his hand to excuse them and hesitated.

"Official, Concubine Chen moved here today, and the slaves and maids told them the rules." Su Lan said.

"Well, it's all set up!" Zhao Hao suddenly remembered this and nodded.

"Official, the slave and maid have been cleaned up, and Concubine Chen is arranging it inside!" Su Lan replied.

"Okay, I'll take a look!" Zhao Yu responded and turned around and walked towards the bedroom, and Su Lan also asked everyone to dissolve and follow quickly.

The Zhiyuan Hall is remote and small compared to the buildings in the North Palace, but this is only relative to other palaces. Its main hall is seven bays, according to the Song Dynasty's 'room', one is about seven meters, the depth is ten meters, only the internal space has nearly 500 square meters, compared with the modern luxury villa is not small. And there is a hugging building in front of the hall, there is a terrace outside the hall, and the line of sight is broad, which can be used to welcome guests, live and eat, watch flowers and trees, and can open a small singing and dancing party. There are also side halls on both sides, which form a convex layout with the main hall.

The indoor partition of this era can also be used with a variety of partitions, doors, covers, screens and other movable structures that are easy to install and disassemble, which can be arbitrarily divided and changed at any time, so that the indoor space can not only meet the owner's own living habits, but also quickly change the space division under special circumstances. The hall of the main hall has been divided into three parts according to Zhao Yu's meaning, the front hall is used as a place for his own guests, the middle hall is a place for tea room relaxation, and the back hall is only used as a collection of books.

The left side of the main hall is isolated from the study, and the front and back rooms are also divided, and the front hall is used as a daily office and reading place in the harem. The back hall is the so-called war room, where there are several sand tables, maps are hung on the wall, and there are copies of the intelligence collected by the bureau, which are classified and placed on several huge pavilions for easy access at any time, and this room is forbidden for others to enter and exit.

To the right of the main hall is his living place. In fact, there was not just one bedroom for him, but two identical bedrooms. They are all designed with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a small 'nanny room' as a rotating maid, and a large one is Zhao Yu's bedroom, each with a separate bathroom to avoid embarrassment. At the rear is a bathroom and cloakroom, with a secret door leading to the outside.

The reason why the two rooms are the same is that Zhao Yu thinks that the space is too large and the living room is too empty; Both were also for security reasons, in case there were assassins. After all, two houses with the same layout and style are easy for people who are not familiar with the situation to make mistakes, and the owners can also sleep in turns, making people confused about the situation. But he was so troublesome that he never slept half a night and then changed to another bed, so the room was always empty.

"Eh......" Zhao Yu walked into his bedroom, but was startled, thinking that he had gone to the wrong room. His house has always been simply furnished, but now there are a lot of household items, such as interstitial screens, piano tables, crown stands, shelves, mirrors, dressing tables, incense tables, etc., and some treasures have been put on display, and the curtains and bed curtains have also been replaced with pale yellow.

"Official!" Hearing someone come in, Wang Yu, who was standing in front of the bed, hurriedly turned around and saluted.

"Concubine Chen, what are you doing?" Zhao Yu raised his hand to excuse him, looked at his temples scattered, and his face was full of sweat, and asked puzzledly.

"The official family, how can the concubines not fold the quilt into the appearance of the official family, it's really stupid!" Wang Yu pointed to the quilt on the bed and said angrily.

"Don't be annoyed, I don't blame you!" Zhao Yu walked closer, saw that the bed had been replaced with a new quilt, and smiled. He knows that folding a new quilt into a tofu block requires some effort even for a veteran, and for a lady like Wang Yu, she may not have folded the quilt.

"The official family is all the fault of the concubines!" Wang Yu couldn't let go of her feelings, and said again.

"You rearranged the house?" Zhao Hao lightly helped him down.

"The concubine saw that the house was too simple, so she added some things for use, and if the official family didn't like it, the concubine would leave!" Wang Yu said a little nervously.

"Hehe, if you like it, I can move to the next room!" Zhao Hao said with a wry smile. He had also seen that these objects added to the house were indeed commonly used, especially for women, so he felt that he could bear such a simple life, but there was no need for everyone to be like him.

"Does the official family not like the concubines, do they want to drive the concubines away?" Wang Yu was anxious when she heard this, and said with tears in her eyes. And she also secretly hated herself in her heart, why did she make her own opinions, there was already a queen in front of her who had angered His Majesty because of the Lantern Festival, and she rearranged the emperor's bedroom on a whim.

"I don't mean that, it's just that I've always been used to it, and I'm worried that you won't fit in, but it will make everyone unbeautiful!" What Zhao Hao was most afraid of was that the woman was crying, and when she saw her like this, she was at a loss for a while.

"Then why did the official family drive away the concubines?" Wang Yu listened to the emperor's explanation, but she was even more convinced that she was chasing herself, and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and she was aggrieved.

"I'm not trying to catch up with Concubine Chen, I'm just saying I'm going to change places!" Zhao Yu was even more panicked when he saw this, and raised his hand to wipe his tears.

"The official family obviously doesn't like the concubine, so they want to hide out, so the concubine just leaves!" Wang Yu cried out this time.

"I mean that this bed is not softer than you sleep, and the meal is much more vulgar, you will feel inconvenient......" Zhao Yu also saw sweat on his face, his head was confused, and he still tried to explain clearly.

"The official family has been like this for many years, how can I know that the concubines can't. Since I don't like concubines, why bother looking for these reasons, I'll just go! Wang Yu was also full of grievances, stood up and wiped her tears.

"This ......" Seeing that he lost his temper, Zhao Yu looked back and wanted Su Lan to help persuade him, but he didn't know when he had avoided it, so he could only say helplessly, "I just think about you, I don't have any other intentions, so why bother!" ”

"The concubine has been in the palace for more than two months, but the official family has never been to the palace once, and he has never said a word to the concubine, what is it that you don't like?" The emperor's explanation seemed so pale and powerless in Wang Yu's eyes, and the tears flowed more, whimpering.

"How could Concubine Chen think so, in fact, as soon as I saw you in the temple, I fell in love with you, but I was afraid that my sister would be angry, so I didn't dare to be abrupt!" Zhao Yu saw Wang Yu's bitter pear blossoms with rain, and looked pitiful, and his heart was even more ridiculous, so he told what was in his heart. Although this is true, it is a little insincere, and it is just the result of looking at the face.

"Is what the official said true?" Wang Yu stopped crying when she heard this, looked at the emperor and asked.

"Of course, especially my sister's dancing posture, I thought it was Chang'e descending from the sky, and this scene was still in front of me!" Zhao Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he understood that what this woman likes to hear most is flattery, even if it is a lie.

"So I said it, but the concubine didn't believe it!" Wang Yu snorted.

"Why? What I say is from my heart! Zhao Hao panicked when he heard this, could it be that he had misjudged the situation again.

"The most outstanding one that day was Cheng Su, who sang and danced well, and the concubines knew that they were not as good as themselves, I'm afraid they remembered wrong, right?" Wang Yu rolled her eyes and said. In fact, she believed it after a few calls from her sister, but she still wanted to confirm it.

"Cheng Su?! Its singing and dancing is indeed good, but where is it comparable to my sister, especially my sister's long legs, where can it be compared! Zhao Yu shook his head and said with a disdainful expression, "Besides, Cheng Su is arrogant and competitive, where is he more gentle and virtuous than his sister." And my sister should also know that the Queen Mother wants to select a queen and four concubines for me. If I like it, my sister will still be inferior to her in terms of family background, and it is the queen mother who can't help me to make my sister a concubine. ”

How did the officials see it...... See that the concubine is gentle and virtuous? Wang Yu sniffled twice and said. She also knew that there were only five people who passed the re-election that day, and the concubine naturally came from among them, and the queen had already been decided, and the emperor could not make the decision. And in the end, Li Sanniang and Chen Shu were added, and the two of them will inevitably be squeezed out, but compared with these people, their own family lacks connections in the court, and their family background is relatively weak, but it is unexpected that they can be selected in the end, so they are convinced of the words of the little emperor.

"Eh, I opened the government at the age of five, and supervised the administration of the country at the age of six, if I don't have the ability to know people, how can I control the ministers. That day, I just used some small means to get out of your depth, and my sister was repeatedly suppressed by Cheng Su that day, but she ignored her, and she was still able to tolerate her. In particular, my sister is one of the people who eats all the meals, and Sanniang and Chen Shu have been by my side for many years, and they know my habits, so they can't be counted. "Although Zhao Yu doesn't often deceive people, but deceiving people is also killing people, and since he touched the doorway, he immediately resolved the passive situation.

"Then why did the official family drive away the concubines?" Wang Yu finally burst into tears and laughed when she heard this, leaned on the emperor's shoulder and asked softly.

"Alas, it's not that I'm afraid that you've been wronged by living here, so I'm so upset!" Wang Yu's height is almost the same as Zhao Yu's, seeing this, his hand naturally wrapped around his slender waist, kissed his face lightly and sighed.

"The official family, as long as you can be with the official family, the concubines will not feel wronged......" The same words, at this time, Wang Yu was greatly moved, and the whole person leaned over, and responded to the emperor with a crimson face.

"......" Zhao Yu wanted to say something, but his mouth was blocked by a pair of red lips, he hugged the beauty only to feel the blood surge, and the bodies of the two involuntarily crooked on the bed......
