In the face of Cheng Su's questioning, Wu Xi did not explain, but smiled slightly and continued to tell the story of the saltless girl. In fact, although Wuyan is extremely ugly, she is naturally intelligent and intelligent, and she is a very talented female politician. After he seriously criticized King Qi Xuan for only knowing how to play games with beautiful women, listen to music, and let traitors do evil, King Qi Xuan was very moved when he heard it, and decided to "stop the girl's music and withdraw from flattery", and put Wuyan into the palace.

However, Wuyan was so ugly that she couldn't get the favor of King Qi Xuan, which hurt her very much. Until one year on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight dissolved, the cinnamon was fragrant, such a beautiful night, but she was very depressed. At this time, it happened that King Qi Xuan was also playing in the palace, and when he saw that the saltless under the moon was very beautiful, his pity came to his heart, and he made her queen. With the assistance of Wuyan, King Xuan of Qi has since stopped feasting, except for the ministers, strengthening soldiers and horses, and strengthening the national treasury, this series of measures to strengthen the country has made the Qi State rise rapidly and be strong for a while.

This story sounds a bit absurd, how can a folk girl enter the palace casually? It also aroused the doubts of others, but Wu Xi's explanation is also convincing, because in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, mergers and intrusions, one after another, in today's words, "fierce competition", the "people-oriented thinking" of various countries is very prevalent, and a common man can also ask to see the monarch without any scruples, state his wishes, and make suggestions on the country's governance policy.

It is also in this political environment that Wuyan cares about national affairs and often studies current affairs and politics, although his appearance is ugly, he can remedy his career in morality, cultivate knowledge, observe affairs, and cultivate moral courage, and accumulate over time, and has a rich foundation, so he can hit the nail on the head in the conversation of the first meeting, speak freely, and shake the heartstrings of King Qi Xuan.

And the saltless woman has also become a typical representative of the ages that "the sea cannot be beaten, and people cannot be disguised". The story of "saltless moon worship" was interpreted by later generations as inner beauty is more important than external beauty, talent is more important than beauty, and it is also interpreted as the Mid-Autumn Festival girl worshipping the moon, which will have the effect of "looking like Chang'e, face like the bright moon", which has become the origin of the moon worship custom, so Wu Xi is also related to the emperor's poems Although the moon is not mentioned, it has a great relationship with the moon.

As for the tumor girl, it is also from the "Legend of the Daughters of Qi Su Tumor Girl", which is a native of Dongguo of Qi during the Warring States Period, smart and wise, dignified in appearance, but there is a sarcoma on the neck, so she is called the tumor girl, and because she takes mulberry picking as her business all day long, she is also called "mulberry picking girl". Marriageable men near and far are often scared away by large tumors. The poor girl is still waiting for the letter to be in the boudoir, and no one cares. She didn't care, she went her own way all day long, busy with farming and mulberry work, immersed in her own world.

And the tumor girl also met the king of Qi, but it was the son of King Qi Xuan, King Qi Min, and Mulberry Garden has always been a holy place of love in ancient times, and many stories have happened. Seeing the king's car coming, the people who were working near the mulberry garden stopped and crowded on both sides of the road, tiptoeing to see the leader.

The more well-informed girl, who thought that this was a good opportunity to be favored by the king, applied fat powder early, combed her hairpins, put on the most beautiful clothes, and lined up on both sides of the road, scratching her head one by one, and her eyes flew wildly. At this time, the king of Qi found that a person did not follow the crowd and came to admire the widow's demeanor. On the contrary, he stood alone in the mulberry garden picking mulberry leaves.

So the father and son encountered the same thing for two generations, and after the tumor girl's big talk, King Qi Min couldn't help but applaud when he heard it. He was an ambitious king, but now he has just succeeded to the throne and wants to take up the affairs of the country and make great achievements. Seeing that the female aura of the tumor is extraordinary, I can't help but feel respect. recalled that his father, King Qi Xuan, was once drunk on wine, but because he married the virtuous and ugly Zhong Lichun, she helped Qi to prosper in the country. Even my status as a prince was established by Zhong Lichun's advances!

History is always similar, and King Min of Qi followed his father's example in bringing the tumor girl into the palace, and was also mocked by the other concubines. In the face of the ridicule of the beauties, the face of the tumor girl did not change, and she taught them all a lesson as an example of Yao Shun in ancient times. King Min of Qi was educated, rectified officials in the imperial court, appointed meritocracy, and strictly examined the ability of officials at all levels.

King Qi Min even inspected the 300-member pipepipe orchestra left by his father, King Qi Xuan, one by one, forcing the famous "indiscriminate" Mr. Nan Guo to roll up and roll up. It didn't take long for the awe-inspiring princes to visit him. After internal rectification, the state of Qi has greatly increased its national strength, defeated Chu in Chongqiu in the south, destroyed Sanjin in Guanjin in the west, attacked Qin, helped destroy Zhongshan, defeated the Song State, expanded the land for more than 1,000 miles, and threatened the sea......

"Miss Wu is really knowledgeable and talented, and it is hard work to preside over the Lantern Festival today, so I will give this jade pendant to the girl!" Wu Xi interpreted 'herself' poems, not only dispelling everyone's doubts, but also clarifying her own views. This made Zhao Hao very impressed, you must know that "The Biography of the Daughters" is a must-read text for all ladies in this era, so everyone here should know, but no one can connect with their own poetry, this is the gap in the realm!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Xi stepped forward and took the jade pendant that the little emperor had untied from the jade belt with both hands, and gave a deep salute.

"No courtesy, I should thank you for working my behalf!" Zhao Yu raised his hand and said, but his eyes swept over his face, but seeing that although Wu Xi was smiling, he was not overjoyed, and still maintained a look of neither humility nor arrogance. But looking at other people, there are both envious and heartbroken, sighing why they didn't think of it; That Cheng Su pursed his lips and wanted to cry without tears, his limelight was robbed again, and the lottery heads he had just won now seemed to be inferior to the one in Wu Xi's hand, and he still gave away the opportunity himself.

"How dare the slave family be thanked!" Wu Xi listened to the salute again and said softly, "Your Majesty secretly helped the slave family, so that the slave family did not lose face, naturally the slave family should be thanked!" ”

"Is there one? I have helped the girl! Zhao Yu waved his hand and said in surprise, refusing to admit it.

"Whether Your Majesty has the intention or the intention, the slave family should still be grateful." Seeing that the little emperor didn't admit it, Wu Xi only smiled slightly and didn't delve into it.

"Miss Wu, the moon is empty, let's stop the lantern festival!" Zhao Yu thought about it.

"The slave family obeys the order, and everyone will go back to the lake to put the boat lights in a while, and Your Majesty can also join in the excitement." Wu Xi nodded and saluted again.

"Okay, I'll go!" Zhao Yu smiled and agreed, but looked at the back of Wu Xi beckoning the girls to leave and fell into deep thought. I also take the opportunity to show my attitude by quoting the masterpieces of those who don't know which predecessors I don't know.

The so-called heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, and Zhao Yu is of course no exception, he knows that a woman with fine skin and tender flesh and beautiful flowers can be loved with a smile. And there are many people who bow down under her pomegranate skirt, bow their heads, and willingly do their best to be loyal to her drive. In this way, there is no need to work hard to cultivate morality, nor do you have to be cautious and deliberately restrain yourself, as long as you use effortless methods such as tenderness, coquettishness, seduction, and helplessness, you can firmly grasp a man's heart, so that you can get everything you want with your beauty, which is always a shortcut.

And an ugly woman, whose appearance does not attract men, can only encourage her own morality, enrich her own connotation, coupled with endless sacrifice and dedication, and do her best to help men succeed in their careers, in order to gain their respect and reciprocative love. It's like no salt and Shih Tzu, one is extremely ugly, the other is extremely beautiful, and it is simply incomparable. But the story of the ugly girl without salt can be passed down through the ages, so that many ancient beauties are beyond the reach of the dust, and the meaning is more important than appearance, and Zhao Yu also expressed his thoughts through this......

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky is as blue as water, the moon is like a mirror, the lake is like a mirror, reflecting each other, and the lanterns lit by the lake reflect the lake, which can be described as a beautiful scenery and beautiful. At this moment, the show maids and the palace attendants and palace maids also put small lit sheepskin water lanterns into the lake, and floated to the center of the lake under the blowing of the breeze, and the lake was covered with thousands of lights, and the lights flickered like stars in the sky.

It is said that in the eyes of the Song people, the main purpose of the Mid-Autumn Festival release of krathong was to welcome the arrival of the river god, and Zhao Hao thought that this might be a flattering act, praying that it would not bring disaster to people, not purely for viewing. And tonight, everyone put the krathong more to pray for their favor, to be able to enter the harem, and become a concubine above ten thousand people under one person!

At this moment, the weather was getting cooler, and the bright moonlight covered the earth, and Zhao Yu lingered by the lake for a long time to produce a sense of desolation. Thinking that it has been ten years since I came to the world, I know that it is almost impossible to return to my previous life, but I still have reluctance and concern for that world, and I hope that one day the 'heavenly thunder' will land and send me back again.

But now, Zhao Hao looked at the women who put the lights on the lake, looked at Wang De who accompanied him, Chen Dun who followed behind the guards, and looked at the courtyard shrouded in moonlight, where there was a queen mother who cared for him, as well as a teacher who cared for him and many virtuous generals...... And this has become my new concern. He can now see that power is a double-edged sword, which can not only hurt others, but also hurt himself, making him anxious, uneasy, suffering from gains and losses, and hovering in the psychological contradictions between indulgence and self-discipline, loyalty and betrayal, conscience and conspiracy.

Therefore, Zhao Hao felt that although he was surrounded by him, he was the loneliest person. No one in this world knows about his past, and no one can confide his heart; And he is in a high position, and his words and deeds are eye-catching, and people often try to guess the holy will from it, so that he must be cautious in his words and deeds in the deep palace; Deliberations with courtiers should also be very careful, thoughtful, and measured; Even in a private matter such as choosing a queen, he did not dare to easily reveal his tendencies, so as not to be taken advantage of by those who had a heart.

I didn't dare to speak freely, I couldn't express my sorrow and sorrow, and I was cautious when I raised my hands and feet, which made Zhao Hao think that he had been imprisoned by Zhang's invisible wall, and this feeling was even better after arriving in Lin'an. Looking at the full moon in the night sky, its brilliance obscuring the brilliance of the surrounding stars, it seems to be a unique appearance, but who knows that it is only with the help of the sun's rays and the earth's temporary gifts? In fact, he is just a poor guy who is imprisoned by the gravitational pull of the earth.

"The water is pregnant with the moon and the spring is not old, and the water is a few high and the moon is high. There is water for thousands of years, thousands of months, and thousands of years of solidity. The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and he is alone, which makes Zhao Hao feel even more lonely and miserable, and he can't help but feel melancholy. At this time, there was a faint sound of singing, he turned around and saw that under a laurel tree not far from the lake, Li Sanniang looked at the moon and sang in a low voice, thinking that he was also thousands of miles away from home, alone in this friendless environment, but also cautious, lest he anger others, and couldn't help but think of the Mid-Autumn Festival in his hometown.

"The moon is pregnant with Dangui and the spring is not old, and Brother Nong's affection is higher than the sky. A hundred years of water immersion stone is not rotten, and a thousand years of golden chrysanthemum are ten thousand years old. Zhao Yu has lived in Qiongzhou for a long time, and knows that this is a mountain song sung by the local slang people, in which the lyrics do not need to have strict rhyme like poetry, but more like limericks and smooth mouths, but the singing is catchy and spontaneous, which is a way to express emotions. He listened to it for a while, and then sang a duet.

"Don't talk about it, outsiders don't know it. Have the heart to keep it until the fifteenth day of the month, and the full moon will finally wait for him! Hearing the little emperor singing, Li Sanniang was surprised, but she was secretly happy in her heart, and then sang to her.

"Who will destroy the love of the mandarin duck, the mandarin duck sue and make a fuss. The sky and the earth are collapsing, and they will accompany them for thousands of years. Zhao Yu's poems are copied, but a few lines of mountain songs are okay, but I don't know how many masters know that he will vomit blood if he uses what he has learned to this, he listens to it and takes it again without thinking too much.

"One stone is flat and two are flat, and my brother sits on one side and one sits on the side. The stone does not live for a thousand years, and waits for my brother to sit with Nong for a thousand years. At the banquet and lantern festival, Li Sanniang did not open her mouth to sing a word, but at this time, she opened her voice and made peace with the little emperor, and her voice was not inferior to any of the women.

"There is only the moon in the sky, and there is only the sea level in the earth. There is only a candle in the house, and only my sister is smart in the world. Zhao Yu knew that these straightforward lyrics must be deviant to the ears of the scholars, and they would be unceremoniously classified into the scope of obscene lyrics, but he wanted to vent the depression in his heart, put the possible reproaches behind him, and let them be presumptuous. At the end of the song, he sang again despite the surprised eyes around him.

"The moonlight illuminates Nong's shadow, and Brother Zhao and Nong are affectionate. The golden rooster flies out thousands of miles away, and the phoenix chases love thousands of miles. "Li Sanniang listened to the little emperor's 'confession', thinking that although the two had made a marriage contract early, they were close to the end of the world, and it was difficult to see each other in the end, and even if they met, it was difficult to talk about love like slang boys and girls......
