Chapter 864: Step by step

From the opportunity to give Zhao Hao close contact, and those show girls seemed to be unwilling to let go of the moment of interacting with him, there were those who smiled and thanked him, scratched their heads and made autumn waves, and there were also those who pretended to be high like the fairy of the Heavenly Palace who did not eat fireworks, and naturally put on a vice grief and sorrow to do Xi Shi...... Anyway, he was dazzled and dizzy.

Although Zhao Yu was dazzled, he secretly sighed in his heart that the beauties living in the literati of the Song Dynasty were like a poetic picture scroll - the breeze blew through the leaves, as if full of parting tears, containing eternal infatuation...... Such a beauty is enough to intoxicate men all over the world. The images of beautiful women in the Song Dynasty are all petite and thin, willow with a thin waist, lazy and weak, and sad and idle, which has become the female beauty appreciated by the scribes of the Song Dynasty, and the children raised by this kind of mother can be imagined.

Affected by this kind of worldly style, there are only two kinds of beauties living in the Song Dynasty: one is the dignified and introverted woman who is respected by orthodox scholars and doctors, and "starvation is a small matter, and a loss of festival is a big thing"; The other is the amorous talented woman who is "full of tears" and "full of dancing skirts and songs". And women's hearts and appearances are infected with the pathological depression of the times, which makes it similar to modern aesthetics, all of which are thin and beautiful, and it is also the origin of many beauties who are talented women at the same time.

"Your Majesty, isn't it pleasant?"

"Shu'er, it's not comfortable, it's hard!" There is aesthetic fatigue after seeing too many beauties, not to mention that after watching so much kung fu for so long, Zhao Yu lost his initial interest the more he went back, and the incense became a mechanical action, and he didn't even raise his head, and now suddenly someone was 'rude', he looked up and saw that it was indeed Chen Shuer, as if he had a helpless response, and handed three incense sticks at the same time.

"Hmm......" Shu'er snorted coldly, but she didn't take the incense stick she handed over.

"Oh, Sister Shu!" Zhao Yu suddenly woke up when he saw it, and hurriedly changed his words. In fact, he also knows Shu'er's psychology at the moment, he just wants to show off his special relationship with himself in front of the girls, so as to satisfy her little vanity, and he can only cooperate.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shu'er saluted and took the incense, but the show girl in front of her was still worshipping the moon, and she was not in a hurry to leave, but pulled the person behind her forward.

"Your Majesty!" The person who came was a standing upright and made a military salute.

"......" Zhao Yu immediately subconsciously raised his hand to return the salute when he saw it, only to see that the person who came was Li Sanniang, but his palace dress was a military salute, and he thought that it was also a military salute with his own instinct for a while, but in this way, the scene was extremely embarrassing!

"Poof!"

"Commander Li, if you are in the palace, you don't have to be formal!" Zhao Yu turned his face to see that it was Wang Yu who was singing, and when he saw that he was looking over, he quickly bowed his head, but at this moment, the trace of disdain on his face did not escape his eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Sanniang put down her hand at this time, but her waist was still straight and upright, still like in the army.

"Can you still adapt to it in the palace?" Zhao Yu saw that although he had a little grease powder on his face, he was still much darker than those fair-skinned show girls, but he had his own heroic spirit, and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it's okay!" Li Sanniang replied softly.

"Good what? Sister talk to Your Majesty! Chen Shu listened to it, but said anxiously first.

"Oh, so Sanniang has been wronged!" Zhao Yu said with some surprise when he heard this. Li Sanniang made a marriage contract many years ago under the auspices of the Queen Mother and under the witness of the ministers, and it can be said that everyone in the palace and outside the palace knows it. And there are still people who dare to give it anger, and it can't help but make people feel strange.

"Your Majesty, don't be careful, it's just that the slave official doesn't speak well, and he doesn't understand the etiquette in the palace, and he is just blamed for a few words, it's nothing!" Li Sanniang saw that the little emperor's tone was not good, and knew that he was already annoyed in his heart, so he hurriedly explained with a chuckle, but he was very useful in his heart, but he didn't want to disturb the matter of the moon sacrifice because he had disturbed it, so he could only answer like this.

"Is it really that simple?" Zhao Yu could already see from his face that he was forced to be happy, and asked in a deep voice again.

"Yes...... Yes, it's time for the slave to incense! Li Sanniang hesitated and left in a hurry.

"Is Miss Li often punished?" Seeing him leave, Zhao Yu turned his face and asked Zhang Pingdao.

"Your Majesty, too...... Not often! Seeing that the little emperor suddenly asked himself, Zhang Ping was stunned and replied.

"Oh, is it all okay to scold a few words?" Zhao Hao asked again.

"Yes...... Neither is it! Zhang Ping looked up at the little emperor and quickly lowered his head, and replied in a panic.

"What's that called?" Zhao Hao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it.

"Your Majesty, don't be annoyed, Miss Li has just entered the palace, and there are many things that she doesn't know about etiquette, and the director of the master of ceremonies is not exempt from punishment, reprimand, and whipping a few times!" Seeing Zhang Ping stumbling, Wu Xi interjected beside him.

"Yes, Miss Li is full of slang, her speech is slurred when she responds, and she often makes mistakes when practicing the etiquette in the palace, which inevitably makes the chief angry!" At this time, Cheng Su also answered.

"Are you also often chastised?" Zhao Yu looked at the three of them and asked.

"Your Majesty, the slaves have practiced more etiquette at home, how can it be wrong!" Without waiting for others to answer, he rushed to answer.

"Hehe, the chief of this ritual is really fateful, and he actually survived to this day!" Zhao Yu already knew in his heart when he heard this, this was the correct way to open the palace fighting bureau, and handed the incense to the next show girl and smiled.

"Your Majesty, this ...... What does this mean? Cheng Su said with a blank face when he heard this.

"Don't you know that Miss Li is the commander of the army?" Zhao Yu looked at him and asked, seeing that he shook his head blankly, and then said, "Miss Li is the commander of the Mountain Brigade of the Guardian Army, and there are 3,000 elite soldiers under her command, if she dares to whip her, isn't she looking for death?" ”

"Huh?!" Cheng Su covered her mouth with her hand and let out a surprised voice, and then asked slowly, "Then did she kill anyone?" ”

"Killing, isn't it the most common thing for people in the army, when attacking Lin'an City, it was Miss Li who took the lead in leading the army to the city, and the enemy soldiers who were killed by it in this battle alone were no less than 100 people. And she followed me from Qiongzhou to the north to the south of the Yangtze River, fought for thousands of miles, and did not stop until the recovery of Ezhou, do you say that she has killed people? Zhao Hao smiled.

"In this way, that teaching is really fateful, fortunately I didn't provoke Miss Li!" Zhang Ping stuck out his tongue and said.

"It turns out that Miss Li is still a general under His Majesty, so it's no wonder that she will salute when she sees His Majesty!" Wu Xi nodded slightly, understanding the reason why things happened, it has become a habit to be in the military for a long time, and it is normal to see His Majesty instinctively go to the military salute.

"Miss Li bravely crowned the three armies, and whoever is not respectful will be let me give her three points. Don't say that she kills a teacher, even if she will ...... Kill a few, I won't be good at it! Zhao Hao glanced at the people on the field, shook his head and sighed.

"This ......" Cheng Su couldn't help but take two steps back when he heard this, although His Majesty didn't say anything just now, but his eyes swept over him clearly, and his meaning was very clear, even if the show girls present were killed by Miss Li, they all died in vain, including her, of course.

"Licheng!" While speaking, the show girls who participated in the sacrifice had already finished worshipping the moon separately, and said loudly.

"The official family, the Queen Mother has an edict, please ask the official family to share the food on her behalf!" At this time, Dou Xing hurriedly came over and preached.

"Only follow the decree of the Queen Mother!" Zhao Yu listened to Shi Lidao. After the ritual is completed according to the procedure, the chief priest should hold a knife and cut the mooncakes evenly according to the number of participants, one for each person. Each person has one watermelon, and the fruit is self-picked. But the Queen Mother turned around and let him go under the knife, and the meaning of it doesn't need to be thought about.

Zhao Yu ordered to step forward and remove the incense and candles on the sacrificial table first, and someone would send the knife. He didn't think about it first, picked up a piece of moon cake, a watermelon, and two pieces of each fruit, put them in a tray, and personally held them and gave them to the Queen Mother first. When he returned to the sacrificial table, he looked at the field but did not move, he did not know how many people participated in the sacrifice of the moon, so he had to count them first.

"Your Majesty, there are forty-two people who participated in the moon sacrifice, there are twenty-four moon cakes, and there are still three watermelons left, so you don't have to worry about the rest!" Just as Zhao Yu was about to count the points, Wu Xi reminded quietly and softly beside him.

"Thanks!" Zhao Yu nodded. He couldn't help but glance at it, this little girl secretly reminded herself in time three or four times, even if she threw away her utilitarian heart, her ability to observe words and colors was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Zhao Yu took the knife and saw that the three watermelons were about the same size, as for cutting them into lotus shapes, it was not difficult for him, but it was impossible to divide them equally, either it was not enough, or it would be more. But no matter how much trouble it is, everyone will not care about a melon, but the meaning of this melon, who has more grace, that is, there are more possibilities to be promoted. The same is true for moon cakes, no matter how you divide them, there will be more, it is clear that the Queen Mother deliberately gave herself a problem.

However, Zhao Yu moved the knife after a little thought, only to see that he held the knife and cut several knives on each melon, but from the appearance it was not separated, but after it was erected, it was separated into sixteen pieces of the same size with a light touch of his hand, just like a blooming lotus, which couldn't help but make people scream. But some people see the excitement, but some people see the doorway, when the knife is not only accurate, but also calculated, a slight difference is difficult to form, and the number is wrong.

"Several ministers have worked hard, and they all receive double portions!" Zhao Yu twisted his face and said to the participants.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cheng Su, Wang Yu, Wu Xi and Zhang Ping stepped forward to give a salute, each took their own share first, and stepped aside.

"The priest will come forward and receive it according to this!" Zhao Yu said to the rest of the people, but no one moved, and their eyes were all focused on Li Sanniang. He was secretly happy in his heart, and he knew that what he had just said must have reached everyone's ears as quickly as possible. In fact, they also understand that Li Sanniang has a marriage contract with them, while the others are to be determined, and their current status is higher than everyone here, and they can pretend not to bully people at other times, but who dares to be offside at the moment.

"Miss Li, please first!" The others didn't dare to move, Li Sanniang was still at a loss and didn't know what was going on, seeing that it was cold, Wu Xi hurriedly came out to ask for it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Sanniang was still a little dazed when she heard this, but when she looked around, she looked at the little emperor and understood, but when she got up, she found that she had left her with a double portion, and immediately her heart was hot and she bowed deeply.

"Take more fruits, Jiangnan is not as good as Qiongzhou, you can eat it at all times!" Zhao Yu put a whole moon cake and two pieces of watermelon on the plate, and picked up a few fruits and put them on the plate.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Sanniang said again with tears in her eyes. No matter how stupid she is, she understands at this moment that the little emperor has realized that she has been wronged, which is to give herself a platform to warn others, and to show his attitude, his position is not to be challenged by others.

After Li Sanniang stepped back, the others stepped forward to receive half a moon cake and a tooth of watermelon. Only Chen Shu didn't leave after taking his share, and Zhao Yu had no choice but to give her half of his share, and he left stupidly. After the distribution of food according to the procedure, it is a feast. Taking advantage of the rearrangement, Zhao Yu called Wang De and gave a few instructions, and went to invite the Queen Mother to the table again.

The Queen Mother refused on the grounds of fatigue and wanted to go back to rest. And said that it is not long before the Empress Dowager returns to the spirit, although it has been abolished, and the mourning period has long passed, there is no need to mourn and strictly prohibit silk music, but it should not be too public. Zhao Yu naturally said yes, leaving only one case of the band to help the fun, and the others were withdrawn. Then the Queen Mother called him to her side and told him a few words before leaving, leaving Zhao Hao here alone to support the 'overall situation'.

Zhao Yu looked at the rising moon and sighed, the queen mother's intention was already very clear, she thought that he had chosen a show girl, but it was up to him to decide who he would be. But what he had just done was decent, and he couldn't see who he was interested in, so he was very dissatisfied, and asked him to make a decision as soon as possible to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. Because of the uncertain position, it will not only trigger the speculation of the ministers, but also make the show girls suspicious of each other, making the harem unstable and having endless troubles in the future.

Zhao Yu also saw it, and it seemed to be a ball of harmony at the moment, but in fact, the battle had already started secretly. It can be seen from the fact that some people squeeze out Li Sanniang The fierce competition, it is said that her name has already been decided, although the slang status determines that she cannot be the queen, but the position of the five concubines must occupy one of them. Of course, it is also a concubine, and the ranking is also in order, and some people are like squeezing it down, so they are looking for trouble everywhere.

What made Zhao Hao uneasy was that someone actually tried to meddle in the affairs of the inner palace, otherwise the teaching of the Master of Ceremonies would still have nothing to do with knowing Li Sanniang's identity. You must know that although Li Sanniang was born in Qiongzhou, she also received Confucian education since she was a child, especially after marrying him, she was carefully cultivated and received etiquette training from the Han people. The official words are more authentic than himself, and those people can actually be punished on this ground, in his opinion, there is no difference between opening his eyes and talking nonsense.

Thinking that this is just the beginning, all forces have tried to interfere, and their marriage cannot be completely separated from the political struggle, in the future, he will not only have to fight with the enemy on the battlefield, play with the ministers in the court, and it is still difficult to live in peace when he returns home......
