Stepping into the dormitory, Zhao Yun was about to rest, but saw that Xie Dao was already waiting here early in the morning.

He frowned suddenly, but shouted in a low voice, "Why did you appear here?" In his words, he was full of impatience with Xie Daoqing, the main room that the Ming media was marrying.

"Your Majesty and I have been husband and wife for many years, and I am the Empress of the Great Song Dynasty, why can't I appear here?" Xie Daoqing lowered his eyes, not wanting Zhao Yun to see the resentment on his face.

Probably because Nuo has not been favored by Zhao Yun for a long time, so Xie Daoqing has always been quite resentful, and even his appearance has deteriorated a lot, and she is no longer as beautiful and moving as when she was young, not to mention that she is not a beauty.

Zhao Yun snorted lightly and replied disdainfully: "Hmph! So what? Can you give birth to a boy and a girl for me now?"

"This, Your Majesty said with a smile! You and I haven't slept in bed for many years, how can you have children?"

Xie Daoqing's expression was snatched, and only the miserable white and gray look remained.

If Xie Daoqing regrets this life, it is nothing more than not having a boy and half a girl with Zhao Yun, which is also jealous of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and she is also self-aware, so she turns a blind eye to Zhao Yun's favor Jia Guifei and Yan Guifei, hoping that these two can also have offspring.

But I don't know what is going on, no matter how hard Zhao Yun tries, he can't have children with these two.

The only one is the daughter of Concubine Jia to ascend to the princess, but unfortunately she is a woman, so it is naturally impossible to inherit the throne. In desperation, Zhao Yun had no choice but to pass over his younger brother's child and become the prince.

But Zhao Xuan is a cerebral palsy patient who can only speak when he is seven years old, how can he be an emperor?

Thinking of these, not only Zhao Yun, but also Xie Daoqing was quite angry with himself, why couldn't he give birth to Zhao Yun, otherwise how could these things happen?

Zhao Yun was stunned, and suddenly felt extremely lonely, but he couldn't get anything from the joy of family and the joy of father and son that others could enjoy.

In this huge palace, there is no place for warmth?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun was not interested in going to the palace, and directly appealed to Dong Songchen: "Let's go." It's not fun to stay here!"

In the distance, Xie Daoqing was stunned, she raised her head and wanted to redeem it, but looking at the figure that was gradually moving away, she finally closed her mouth.

"Your Majesty, am I really so disgusting to you?"

I don't know, I don't know, although I want to be angry in my heart, but I know my own incompetence, in the face of all this, Xie Daoqing doesn't understand at all, what should she do to be able to change all this!

——————

"Since Your Majesty doesn't plan to go to the palace, where are you going to sleep after that?"

Keeping up with him, Dong Songchen saw Zhao Yun's sad face tightened, obviously because of Xie Daoqing's appearance before, which caused him to be in a very bad mood.

Seeing this situation, the little thought in Dong Songchen's heart immediately became active.

"I'm not in the mood either, so I'll pick a random place. The location, it's up to you. Zhao Yun was not in the mood to play, he just wanted to choose a place to rest.

On this day, he was first squeezed by Li Zengbo, and then the arrival of the Red Phoenix Army also made him angry but had to accept it, and then the appearance of Xie Daoqing directly hit his self-esteem as a man.

The two couldn't have children, Xie Daoqing may have a problem, but Zhao Yun, as the emperor, knew in his heart that maybe the real reason was his own.

After all, he plays the role of three palaces and six courts, and the harem concubines dare not compare with Yang Guang and other faint monarchs, but there are countless people, and there are not a few of them who have been married to him.

But none of them had children!

This made Zhao Yun angry.

Dong Songchen was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately bowed his head and replied: "Since this is the case, then Your Majesty might as well go outside for a walk?"

"Outside, can it be better outside the palace than here?" Zhao Yun said with a smile.

"It's not!"

Dong Songchen hurriedly explained: "It's just Your Majesty, since the death of Concubine Jia and Concubine Yan, this palace has become much more deserted. What's more, everyone in the palace knows His Majesty's identity, and they always seem to be a little angry when they get along. In that case, why don't you go out of the palace for a walk, which can be regarded as a distraction?"

"Well, then do what you say!"

Zhao Yun agreed, and took Dong Songchen to prepare to leave the palace.

Just as the two were leaving, they saw a person walking quickly in the distance, Zhao Yun frowned when he saw this person at first glance.

"Mu Zicai, why did you come with you?"

That Mu Zi replied: "Your Majesty." Have you forgotten that I am Your Majesty's personal living room? Since Your Majesty wants to leave the palace, you naturally need to follow him, and only in this way can you ensure that Your Majesty's words and deeds are not lost!"

"Okay, then you can follow!"

Zhao Yun was helpless, although he wanted to refuse, but he also knew the other party's temperament, so he had to let Mu Zicai follow. What's more, it is complicated outside the palace, if something happens, it can also let Mu Zicai help a little!

Since it was out of the palace to enjoy the fun, it was naturally impossible to dress up and travel as usual, so the three of them changed into court clothes and stepped out of the palace gate wearing the clothes worn by ordinary people.

As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Zhao Yun suddenly saw that in the deep sky in the distance, there was infinite brilliance, and the streets were crowded with people, heels and feet, and it was difficult to move a little.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun was a little sure in his heart, as long as the scene in front of him still existed, then his dynasty would always be as stable as Mount Tai.

Zhao Yun felt a little more relaxed, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong today?

"Your Majesty, haven't you forgotten? Today is the Lantern Festival!" That Dong Songchen replied.

According to the usual practice, every time at this time, a grand celebration will be held in Lin'an City.

And in this celebration, the people of the city and those dignitaries and nobles will all go out of their homes to the streets, in this grand ceremony, there are also merchants at this time to launch various discounts, so as to take advantage of this time to make a lot of money.

Even those talented people couldn't bear it, and they gathered to chant poems against each other, and some people took advantage of this time to become famous directly.

The women of good families who have been in the boudoir for a long time will also take to the streets at this time, one by one, in groups, just to be able to take advantage of this time to find the husband in their hearts.

It can be said that this Lantern Festival has become a time for Lin'an City to celebrate.

"Lantern Festival? Zhao Yun shook his head helplessly and replied: "It's all my fault, I've been buried in political affairs these days, and I forgot that there is such a grand scene today!" With a wave of the folding fan in his hand, he was a little interested, and asked, "Then do you know where and where it is?"

"Your Majesty, if it's our house, it should be West Lake, and there should be an Oiran tournament going on now!" Dong Songchen replied.

During this Lantern Festival, there will be various Menglan festivals and lantern festivals, but the most famous of them is the promulgation of the annual Oiran Flower List.

The Song Dynasty had a high level of economic development and a much more liberal and open social atmosphere than before. Over time, the more experienced literati began to compare the prostitutes of each family, which was called the "flower list".

In addition to appearance, demeanor, and speech, the selected items also include poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The ranking is modeled after the imperial examination, divided into one, two, three, first, champion, list, and tanhua.

It can be said that this is the "beauty pageant" and "The Voice of China" in the Song Dynasty, and those who can be on it are the most outstanding existence among the many prostitutes, and their value is naturally rising, which is staggering.

In order to have a place on this list, the major brothels are either doing their best, or the prostitutes among them are also high-spirited, and those benefactors who encourage themselves can take action at this time.

Those benefactors are also unceremonious, and they spend a lot of money at every turn, using it as a place to show off their wealth.

At this time, the people in Lin'an also gathered together, just to be able to see the faces of many famous prostitutes that are rarely seen on weekdays at this time.

Color-eating is also human nature!

For the sake of a name, there are naturally people who do their best, just to be able to become the guest of the Oiran.

Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows, and immediately raised a little interest, but said: "Oiran Competition? In the past, I was busy with state affairs, and I had never heard of it before, so why don't you go and take a look?"

"Your Majesty, no!" Mu Zicai saw that Zhao Yun was thinking, and immediately persuaded.

He is an orthodox Confucian scholar, and he is not interested in this so-called flower list, and the reason why he opposes it is also because there are many dragons and snakes here, and if he is not careful, something may happen.

Zhao Yun didn't care, shook his head and replied: "It's just to take a look, what's the wrong thing? What's more, with your support, I'm not an ordinary person, is it possible that I'm afraid that there will be any danger?"

"That's right!" Dong Songchen also smiled and said: "Your Majesty just went to take a look, and didn't go to participate, what's not to do?"

Mu Zicai was helpless, so he had to follow the group to the edge of the West Lake.

At this moment, there are already people on this West Lake, rubbing shoulders, they are late, so they did not stand in a good position, and can only see dozens of painting boats standing on the West Lake.

On the painting boat, there is a woman standing in each of them, each of whom is not a beautiful and beautiful country.

They also held the huqin, or the flute, or the six-stringed qin, and each of them was doing their best, just to be able to do what they had learned in the past, so that the literati and standing on the judges' seats on the edge of the West Lake could take a look at them, so that they could be on the top of the judging list.

These people also shook their heads one by one, especially after hearing the melodious sound of the piano, they showed a smile of approval.

But they have always kept silent and did not announce their results until the last minute.

The whole crowd is also nervous, eager to know who will be the champion of this year's flower list.

Seeing the lively scenery here, Zhao Yun also felt surprised, but said: "I thought this place was just like this, but I didn't expect it to be even more lively than when I announced the champion!"

After all, those who dare to appear are not beautiful and moving, otherwise how can they be glamorous?" Dong Songchen smiled and laughed at himself: "To be honest, if it weren't for our family's poor figure, I'm afraid I would want to go up too!"

"Don't you regret following me?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and asked with a kind face.

For this Dong Songchen, he attaches great importance to him, after all, this person is not only empathetic, but can arrange it properly every time, and more importantly, he knows the proportions and never interferes in the affairs of the court, although he has always been kept in the dark about these things.

Dong Songchen was sincerely frightened, quickly lowered his head, and replied, "Your Majesty." If it weren't for His Majesty's appreciation, I am afraid that I would have already been on the streets by the next morning, how could I still walk on the streets like this? And how could those Oiran look at a beggar on the street?"

"You, sure enough, you can still talk!" Zhao Yun said with a smile.

If his ministers could not only be obedient like this Dong Song Chen, but also be able to do things properly, how good it would be!

Dong Songchen replied: "That's nature!"

Seeing a commotion in the distance, Zhao Yun looked over with a curious face, just because the crowd there was too crowded, and he never liked to have too close contact with people, so he had to stand next to him.

Dong Songchen's mind was clear, and he immediately bowed to Zhao Yun and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me take a look?" Then he left the place and squeezed into the crowd.

"Tang An'an, it's Tang An'an!"

"This year's champion is Tang An'an!"

Before Dong Songchen could hear the news, the entire crowd was in an uproar and called out the name one after another.

After hearing this name, a young handsome man in the crowd stepped out and said with a smile in his mouth: "Haha." Looks like you're still a little bit inferior, and let me get the first prize!"

The rest of the people looked annoyed, and it was obvious that they were also angry.

Although the purpose of this list is to select the best candidates, it is the prostitutes who participate in the election, and since they are prostitutes, they will inevitably come out to pick up customers, so those prostitutes will sell their first night in advance as a means of attracting customers. 、

Obviously, this son is one of them.

Because he invested a lot of money in Tang An'an, after Tang An'an won the award, he would also be used as a gift to let him sit at the table tonight and share the good of Qin and Jin.

Seeing this person's spring breeze, everyone sighed.

"Alas, I thought I could beat you this year, but I didn't expect to fail. ”

"Forget it, we can only wait for next year! I can't be re-elected because of the loss, otherwise how can I play?"

"I didn't expect that. It turned out that you won the first prize of that Tang An'an!"

That Dong Songchen also returned to Zhao Yun's side, and replied with a guilty face: "The official family." Looks like I'm still a step too late!"

"It's okay!" Zhao Yun shook his head, raised his head and glanced at the sky again, and replied: "It's late at night at this moment, it's already the dead of night, let's go back." After finishing speaking, he took a deep look at the son, and there was an indescribable meaning in his eyes.

Dong Songchen looked at it in his eyes and seemed to understand something!
