For these candidates, Zhao Yu has never seen them, so he can't talk about understanding them, and these materials can only be used as a reference. If it was up to him to make a decision, he would rather let that slang girl Li Sanniang be the queen, at least he would have had contact with her, know what she looked like, and understand her temperament and character. And now it is purely relying on Meng, betting on luck as if it were a treasure, and it is not transferred by its own will at all.

However, Zhao Yu is still grateful for the queen mother's hard work, after all, people do not have the concept of marriage in later generations compared to themselves, but they also act in accordance with the conventions and regulations, although they are dissatisfied, they can't blame him. And for what? It's not for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, the current Song Dynasty royal family is scarce, and the six sons left by the first emperor are only themselves, except for the abolished emperor in Dadu. If he dies, he will not even have an heir.

Therefore, Zhao Yu knew that the queen mother wanted to spread her own branches and leaves, get married and have children as soon as possible, so as to continue the bloodline of the first emperor, so as not to fall into the side branches. And he knew that the Queen Mother promoted Su Lan to a female official before the year, which meant this, and wanted him to know about men and women before the wedding, and leave his blood by the way. It's a pity that he is 'uncivilized', and he has always been like a jade, keeping the body of a child.

And the truth is that Zhao Yu has no lust and no guts, and he is only fourteen years old this year, even if he is just fifteen years old according to his imaginary age, he is still a child in adolescence, and his physical and mental development is not yet mature. But he is psychologically mature and physically not good, so he has been flowing for many years! As a later generation, of course, he also knows the harm of early marriage and early childbearing, not only harming himself, but also often affecting the next generation.

"Looks like I can't hide this time!" Zhao Hao touched the fluff growing on his lips and smiled bitterly. The current situation, he has already seen it, and it is clear that he is unwilling to get married, and the Queen Mother will not let him be in power, and wants him to hang so lukewarmly.

I couldn't hide, and I looked at a few pictures of beautiful women, which made Zhao Hao, who had already grown grass in his heart, relaxed. There are a few men in the previous life who have never dreamed of hugging left and right and having a group of wives and concubines, but they can only think about it due to legal and moral restrictions. And in this era, it is news that the emperor only marries one wife, even if he has a harem of three thousand, no one will say irresponsible things, but take it for granted, otherwise why be the emperor!

Zhao Hao, who had figured it out, couldn't help but be happy when he looked at the several beauties on the picture, in fact, these people can already be sure to become their own women, although only one of them will become the queen, but the others will also enter the harem and become their little wives. In this way, why should I worry about which one to choose, and I only worry about the question of which person to wear the crown on.

You must know that according to the regulations of the Song Dynasty, in addition to the queen, the emperor's inner palace also includes noble concubines, virtuous concubines, virtuous concubines, concubines, concubines, and concubines; Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Xiuyuan, Xiuyi, Xiuyi, Chongyuan, Wanrong, Wanyi, Shunrong, Guiyi; Jieyu, beauty, talent, Mrs. Guo, Mrs., Hongxia, Shiyu and so on are waiting for the vacant position, and they are worried that they can't accommodate these little girls.

"But it's really hard enough for the Queen Mother and these old ministers!" Zhao Hao smiled and muttered. According to the state system formulated by Taizu, in order to prevent relatives from gaining power, after the daughter of the official eunuch was selected into the harem, those who held important positions in the court would be removed from real power, but they would be given knighthoods, given generous salaries, and turned into false positions, so as to prevent them from threatening the imperial power and interfering in the government affairs. Of course, there will be exceptions, but it will not be too long before they will be edicted.

Now there are many women of appropriate age in the families of the important ministers of the court, but none of them are selected, which shows that the queen mother and the rulers know that Jiangnan is the time to employ people, and there are few people available, so they are simply excluded. Although the selected ones are all famous, there are no high-ranking officials in the family or clan at present, and they only have the glory of their ancestors, and their strength is not enough to affect the direction of the regime. In this way, the conditions for the election are met, and the interference of relatives in politics is avoided, which can be described as the best of both worlds, and everyone is happy.

But Zhao Hao felt that the fly in the ointment was that the Queen Mother and the people they chose were all older than him, and he felt that the Queen Mother still regarded herself as a child, and found a few big sisters to take care of herself, or enlighten herself, so that she could give birth to a dragon son as soon as possible. But I don't have a habit of sister and brother love, and I don't want to coax little girls to play, so I don't know who enlightens whom?

Zhao Hao knew that if there was no special reason now, it would be a boat, and his life's major event would be so decided, which made him still a little depressed. But the revival of the Great Song Dynasty and the recovery of the Central Plains all need to be sacrificed, and his 'sacrifice' is nothing compared to these, thinking of this, he is looking forward to this day coming sooner......

More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the flow of people who came to pay homage to the Empress Dowager gradually thinned, and finally fell silent again. Everything is like a farce, coming and going in a hurry. Zhao Yu was even more lonely guarding the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, and everything seemed to be calm in the court and the opposition, few people came to visit, and no official documents were delivered. There was nothing else to do every day except the routine incense, and he had no interest in discussing scriptures with those monks, and the tabloids became his only channel to understand the outside world.

The so-called sorrow is the most bitter, and he can't entertain himself during the funeral, this kind of calm Zhao Yu is a little at a loss, he even hopes to come to the heavenly fire to burn this Jiqing Temple, and he will be relieved. And in the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, in the past, in Qiongzhou, because it was a period of national disaster, everything was simple, and there would be no large-scale activities for various festivals, and last year's Mid-Autumn Festival was in Taihu Lake, or in Qiantang, Zhao Hao can no longer remember.

Because August 15 is the middle day of autumn, it is called Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is set as Mid-Autumn Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival in the Song Dynasty. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also the day when new wines are on the market, and the tabloids these days are full of advertisements for wineries and restaurants. According to Wang De, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, all restaurants and hotels sell new wine, and in order to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival, the restaurants will decorate the façade, re-connect the façade of the color building, hang up the flower head painting rod, and hang the drunken fairy pennant.

People in the city rush to come to the restaurant to drink new wine, often at noon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the restaurant has no wine, and they have dragged down their sons. In Lin'an City, the Mid-Autumn Festival not only prospers in hotel business, but also in the night market. On this day, people pay attention to eating crabs and fruits, and when the crabs are new, pomegranates, quinchons, pears, dates, chestnuts, grapes are colored, and oranges are all newly listed.

At night, people all admire the moon, there are Yigui Pavilion, Qiuhui Hall, Bizen specially built for admiring the moon in the palace, there is also a special bridge to admire the moon, the bridge is built with a white and crystal white stone, it is hinged with a golden nail, there is a clean white lotus under the bridge, there is a palace maid to play Qingle in the south, there is a musician of the teaching workshop in the north of the water, and the heavenly music penetrates the world. The several, couch, bottle, and furnace used by the emperor are all made of crystal, which is really a fairy music, and the moonlight is like water, clear and crystalline, as if the world of immortals.

After nightfall, the noble family decorates the pavilion, and the people compete to occupy the restaurant to play the moon. The prince of the king, the rich family, the giant room, all climb the dangerous building, play the moon in the Xuan, or climb the Guangxie, the tortoise feast is listed, the piano is sonorous, the wine is sung, and the joy of the night is wanted. As for ordinary merchants, they are like shops and houses, and they also go to a small platform to arrange family banquets to reward the festival; Even the poor citizens, even the poor people in the alleys, will undress the wine in the market, reluctantly welcome the joy, and refuse to waste the night.

The more lively Wang De spoke, the more angry Zhao Yu became. Although I have leisure this year, I have this kind of errand, and I can't get rid of it. And the soldiers of the guard battalion have been drifting with him for almost half a year, and it is extremely hard to escort him every day, and he has not been rested. Seeing that the soldiers of the guard battalion were trapped in the fighting room like himself, it was also uncomfortable. He simply gave them money and asked them to take turns to go back to the city for vacation and relax. But in the morning, when everyone left, he was even more melancholy when he saw that there was an empty fasting house, and only a few soldiers on duty remained.

"Official, official......" Just as Zhao Yu was wandering around the courtyard, he suddenly heard someone shouting.

"Liu Ling, the pure place of Buddhism, what are you doing shouting and drinking, you are shocked to pick your skin!" Without waiting for Zhao Yu to speak, Wang De, who was accompanying him, scolded sharply.

"The little one should be damned, he was happy to see the official family for a while, and forgot the etiquette!" Liu Ling hurriedly saluted.

"Let's get flat!" Zhao Yu looked at him and frowned and asked puzzledly, "You are not in the palace, what is the matter here?" ”

"Official, it's mid-autumn, the weather is getting cooler, the queen mother ordered the little one to send some clothes!" Liu Ling got up and replied.

"Oh, how is the Queen Mother?" Zhao Yu nodded and asked with some disappointment, he thought that the Queen Mother was going to summon him back to the palace for the holiday!

"The Queen Mother is fine, but she has to deal with state affairs, and she has to worry about the marriage of the official family, and she has been a little tired recently." Liu Ling replied.

"Alas, I can't share the worries of the Queen Mother, and I am really ashamed to worry about the Queen Mother!" Zhao Hao sighed.

"Don't worry about the official family, the Queen Mother will come to Jiqing Temple tomorrow to pay tribute to the Queen Mother and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the official family." Seeing this, Liu Ling hurriedly comforted.

"This ...... The conditions in this temple are simple, how can you let the Queen Mother spend the festival here, why don't you persuade you! Zhao Yu listened and said with a sullen face.

"The Queen Mother misses the official family, and she thinks about her son, how can she persuade the little one!" Liu Ling said with a bitter face.

"In this case, you should quickly inform the monks in the temple, let them quickly arrange it, clean up the idle people, etc., don't let them disturb the Queen Mother!" Zhao Yu listened to the hurried order, but then said, "It's better to go, don't make a mistake." ”

"The official family is really filial! At present, Jingzhao Mansion has sent someone to inform him, and someone from the palace has also come to arrange it, just waiting for the official to order. Liu Ling said.

"Well, the house here is quite clean, so I will clean up my residence for the Queen Mother to live in, and I will move to the small courtyard of the East Chamber, so that it is convenient to serve An!" The house where Zhao Yu lived was also built in the early years to take over the car, and it was naturally the best and most spacious courtyard in the temple, with more than 40 rooms, he pointed out.

"The official family is also a little smaller here!" Liu Ling looked at it and said with some embarrassment.

"Nonsense, there are only so many people in the palace, and there is still room for free here!" Seeing this, Wang De reprimanded. He is the head of the palace, so he naturally knows how many people there are in the inner palace. Because the royal family withered, only the queen mother and the little emperor lived in the inner palace, and His Majesty was not married, and there were only more than 100 chamberlains and palace maids and more than 200 miscellaneous servants used in the two palaces, how could they not live!

"The big official has been out of the palace for a long time, and a lot of newcomers have been added to the palace recently, and there are more than 300 palace maids alone, and some new small yellow doors have been entered, which is more than before." Liu Ling hurriedly explained.

"So, you've reverted to the old system?" Wang De said in shock and anger. was shocked that so many things happened after he left the palace, and he didn't even know it; I am happy that there are more people in charge of myself, which is naturally a good thing, at least it can be opened, not as in the past, when one person has to wear many hats, but there are big things and I can't be busy.

"Senior official, exactly, the people from all departments and bureaus have been allocated, and they are all waiting for the senior officials to be trained and placed after returning to the palace!" Liu Ling said with a smile.

"How did the Queen Mother add so many people all at once?" Zhao Yu frowned, in this way, the expenses of the inner palace will definitely increase, and there is no need for so many people, which is equivalent to raising idlers.

"The official family, the queen mother said that after the official family got married, there would be many maidens in the palace all of a sudden, how could there be no one to serve, and then the population was added and the people were more needed, so people were added. Worried that the official family would not like it, so that everyone should not talk much, it is not a small one that will not be reported. Liu Ling hurriedly argued.

"Alas, since the wood is already in the boat, let's stop it!" Zhao Hao could only do this when he heard this, and sighed. There is a secret joy in my heart, and now that there is just a flick of the eight characters, the queen mother is so anxious that even the people who serve her grandson are ready, which is too anxious!

"The official family, the Queen Mother came to pay tribute to the Queen Mother this time, and she was accompanied by a selected show girl, thinking that the Queen Mother wanted to let the official family look at it and select the queen." Liu Ling said mysteriously again.

"This ......" Zhao Yu was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't say anything twice. He originally wanted to say that the Queen Mother let herself go on a blind date in the monk's temple, this idea is not only bold, but also strange enough, so he is not afraid of the Buddha's blame. But it was inappropriate to say it, so I could only swallow it raw.

"The queen mother and the show girl selected by the officials for the official family could not be agreed upon for a long time. The little one heard the Queen Mother say in private that the Queen Mother has always been wise and fair. In the past, they were sheltered by him, and their mother and son were sent out of Lin'an City in danger, so that they could continue the national line. And at this moment, the coffin of the Empress Dowager returned to China, and if it was still difficult to decide, it would be decided by the Empress Dowager in front of the spirit, thinking that she would definitely protect her children and grandchildren. "Seeing the little emperor's stammering appearance, Liu Ling said a 'secret' again.

"Ah......" Zhao Yu was shocked when he heard it, and his heart was even more cool at the moment. The Empress Dowager's brain is too big, and she actually left her lifelong happiness to a dead person to decide, but she was helpless about it. I can only hope that the Empress Dowager has a spirit in the sky, and don't blame herself for cutting off her title, for the sake of him guarding her soul for many days, don't harm him......
