The Mid-Autumn Festival in the Song Dynasty was not as simple as modern times. Two mooncakes and a meal were over. As for the moon, many people probably just glanced at it and said that the moon was so full. At this time, there were many festival activities in Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition to worshiping the moon and feasting, there were also chanting poems and chanting the moon, guessing riddles, and setting off the lights. Of course, there were also watching the sea tide in Hangzhou, but for Zhao Bing, watching the tide was impossible, so it was left to be left for next year.

At this moment, Wang Yu's dance and Su Lan's song are a skill that is overwhelming, and no one dares to show off. Zhao Bing looked at the depressed look of the girls in the field and couldn't help but feel sorry for them. Thinking about the Song Dynasty was not so disgusted with having a daughter, but both the big families and the common people would teach them carefully, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the female-red cooking skills, in order to marry a good family. Moreover, these scholarly families and officials naturally received good education since childhood.

The girls who could sit on the court to accompany the banquet were selected from hundreds or thousands of candidates, and each one had a chance. Naturally, they knew that when they entered the palace, the emperor's harem was huge, not to mention being favored, it was even rare to meet. Now, they could accompany the banquet without the title of concubines, and everyone wanted to seize this opportunity and show their strength in front of the emperor in order to win the favor of the emperor, but they were all deflated.

Zhao Bing wanted this effect. Even if Su Lan refused to play on the stage, he would try to let him play on the stage. As for the result, there was no need to think about it. Amateurs would never be as good as professionals, even if he had been changing careers for many years. His purpose was to see the performance of those beautiful girls in hopeless situations. You should know that as an emperor's wife not only had to live in a pampered manner in the palace, but also had to take responsibility at extraordinary times.

I think about the Empress Dowager Xie, who was lying in the coffin, established two emperors one after another, and ruled behind the curtain for several years, and finally presided over the overall situation of surrender. How much pressure did he bear? And Empress Dowager Yang, who was sleeping in a different courtyard, was just an ordinary concubine in the past and had never been involved in political affairs. When the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, he was ordered to escort the two princes out of the palace and shoulder the heavy responsibility of restoring the country. There is no need to say much about the suffering he experienced during the escape. Parents and children died while fleeing, and their lives were hanging on the line several times, but they still had to be energetic and presided over the government.

Therefore, a queen not only needs to manage the harem and raise the prince, but also needs to be able to shoulder the burden of governing the country at critical moments. If she is dejected by such a little setback, how can she bear greater pressure in the future? The current battle for restoration has just started, and the winner is still in conflict. Zhao Bing's work focus and direction will still focus on military aspects. If necessary, he must lead troops in person. Then he has no children and he can only hand over the backyard to the queen and the queen mother.

When wars are held, people must make decisions on the political situation, recruiting troops and raising military expenses. According to convention, the empress will be supervised. Even if the ministers help to deal with it, the empress needs to be responsible and courageous. Even if the emperor dies on the front line, she will take the lead and ensure that the country's veins are not lost. If even the small setbacks cannot be endured, such a queen is useless. Of course, all this is based on her loyalty to the Song Dynasty and the emperor. Otherwise, her ambition will be expanded and she will take the opportunity to usurp the throne and become Wu Zetian without tears...

When Zhao Bing's banquet began, he deliberately put Li Sanniang and Chen Shu who had not entered the re-elected election on his own. These people must know what this position means, not only as simple as expressing closeness, but also as pampering. During the meal, he chatted with the two without any concealment and talked about the past. In fact, he had already begun to put pressure on many show girls, especially the five girls who were elected, which made them feel that the position of the rear was set and there was no hope of acting anyway.

Sure enough, from the performance of some people in the table, it can be seen that they have given up, but there are also people who have tried to fight for it, especially Cheng Su, Wang Yu, and Lei Yan who have passed the election all competed to perform. Even the restrained Zhang Ping sang a song, but Wu Xi did not move. Zhao Bing felt very strange. Did Miss Wu plan to give up the competition or not be good at singing and dancing? It made him a little confused. But he thought that judging from his series of small movements in the moon sacrifice, Wu Xi wanted to attract his attention, which means that he was still ambitious.

But when Zhao Bing was thinking about how to save the scene, Wu Xi stood up, which surprised him, not surprising. Judging from the five girls who passed the re-elect, although Wu Xi's appearance was pretty, it was not as good as the others; and he must also know that he was not as good as the others in singing and dancing, so he chose to watch, but not reveal his shortcomings. However, when the women were frightened by Su Lan, they felt timid and the scene was awkward, it was impossible for her to stand up to save the scene without attracting her own attention.

"It's so high!" Zhao Bing understood what Wu Xi was thinking and couldn't help but secretly praised. When he first met him, he did not choose to show positively to attract his attention, but chose a small movement like a spring breeze and rain to provide convenience for him, but he successfully left a deep impression on him. In the subsequent banquet, he knew that singing and dancing were not as good as Cheng Su and Wang Yu, so he chose to hide his weakness. But when the trouble arose, he stood up and successfully transferred his attention to him.

"Your Majesty, you have enjoyed your drink. I dare to ask Your Majesty to play with all your sisters!" Wu Xi stood up and bowed to him.

"Oh, I don't know what games are playing?" Zhao Bing asked.

"Your Majesty, people often guess riddles of the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, recite poems and chant the moon, and spend the whole night, so I invite Your Majesty to have fun with the people!" Wu Xi replied.

"Haha, since it's a game, you naturally have to have some lottery. I wonder what the girl can do to make the lottery?" Zhao Bing asked again with a smile.

"After entering the palace, I knew that gambling was strictly prohibited in the inner palace and no property could be used as a lottery. Therefore, I thought that I could play drums and pass flowers, and those who won the lottery guess riddles. If I made a mistake or recited a poem about the moon, would it be nice?" Wu Xi said.

"It's great that the girl combines the riddles and chants the moon into one. Since the idea was made by the girl, then I'll take care of the matter!" Zhao Bing praised.

"I am Wu Xi, please obey the order!" Wu Xi said with deep tribute after hearing this.

"We all respect Miss Wu's instructions!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked him to avoid the gift, then left his seat first and smiled.

Zhao Bing was the emperor, of course no one dared to tell him what to do. He left temporarily with Wang De's accompanying him in the name of urination, and appeared slightly slowly in the kitchen temporarily set up in a corner. He saw the table of food that had just been removed neatly placed on one side, and the leftovers that had just been used were placed on it.

"Are you all here?" Zhao Bing looked at Wang Dedao and turned his face to ask.

"According to Your Majesty's instructions, the young man took down all the meals intact. No one dared to act without instructions!" Wang De replied.

"Okay, are all marked?" Zhao Bing walked up and asked again.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, please write down the names and names of the girls and put them on a few, and you will never be wrong." Wang De replied.

"It's done well!" Zhao Bing nodded, and indeed saw a small note of two-inch long pressing under the wine pot of each table.

"Your Majesty ordered all the dishes to be halved, and he ordered people not to move the remaining mats that were removed. What's the point?" Wang De asked in confusion after busy for a long time, but for some reason.

"Today we served eight dishes, four cold and four hot, and a bowl of soup and a plate of crispy cakes. According to the appetite of a young woman, I can barely eat enough, and I will be half full after I eat it." Zhao Bing smiled while touching her stomach.

"Well, what Your Majesty said is true!" Wang De glanced at the clean dishes on the table His Majesty used, and could tell the person that he nodded quickly.

"But look at these, there are many left, especially the pancakes that were left after only taking a bite and then discarded them!" Zhao Bing ordered the leftovers on the table.

"That's right, these beautiful girls are all wealthy and used to being well-off. Besides, when His Majesty is present, they can't help but be restrained. It seems rude to eat cleanly!" Wang De looked at Yan and said in his heart that there are a few emperors like our family in the world who always eat cleanly.

"But there are all eaten, but they are not from poor families!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"Miss Li and Miss Chen know His Majesty's rules, so naturally there will be no one left, so you can't count them!" Wang De said with a smile.

"Miss Zhang's family is also a family of officials. Haven't they eaten it completely?" Zhao Bing picked up a note on the table and looked at Yan and said.

"Well, it's not bad. It seems that he is a good kid who knows how to be thrifty!" Wang De saw that although it was not as clean as His Majesty ate, he had already seen the bottom of it, especially the plate of crispy cakes. You must know that the crispy cakes were made of mixed grains by the little emperor. They were rough, dry and hard, and difficult to put in, so many people took a bite and put them down.

"You see, although this has not been finished, the dishes on the plate have only moved one side, rather than the full plate is turned, and all the bites have been eaten!" Zhao Bing pointed to the two adjacent tables and said.

"Oh, it's Miss Wu. She is so polite, and she can barely eat enough, and she is still very decent." Wang De looked through the notes and said.

"Put back these ones home, don't delay their youth." Zhao Bing took down some notes and handed them to Wang Dedao as he looked.

"Your Majesty, it's impossible to let go of it. Even if you send it back, no one dares to marry it. You can only live in the mansion for the rest of your life. It's better to wait for the forgiveness to be released!" Wang De said quickly. He sighed in his heart and lost his reputation because of a meal. He was rich. Who would have thought of this? If he knew that the little emperor had so many evil intentions, they would probably eat any bad food.

"I'm still dependent on me for this. I'll keep them for free in the palace!" Zhao Bing said unhappy when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, if the selected beautiful ladies cannot be granted, they can also be scattered into the palaces as female officials, or engaged in chores," Wang Deyan said.

"Oh, that's all." Zhao Bing sighed after hearing this, "Let's go to the kitchen to find some food, I feel more and more hungry."

"Yes, I'm afraid it's going to be late at night, so I still have to eat something to ban hunger." Wang De nodded frequently after hearing this, leading the little emperor straight to the kitchen...

When Zhao Bing came back after eating and drinking, the venue was arranged again, and the book table was replaced and it was arranged in a circle. Not only were there snacks and fruits, but also four treasures of the study. Poles were erected on the periphery, and a row of lanterns were hung with riddles on them.

"Oh, this riddle is such a talented person!" Zhao Bing walked to the lamp stand and looked at it. Each riddle was compiled with the poem titled on the moon. Not to mention whether it is suitable for the title, just this literary foundation, Zhao Bing sighed that he was not as good as it was.

"Your Majesty, these are all compiled by Miss Wu!" A small yellow door guarding the lamp stand replied.

"It's so amazing. If a man is afraid it's not difficult to pass the Jinshi!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"Your Majesty is too proud. The little girl is superficial, so how can she afford it!" At this time, Wu Xi took two more lanterns and said with a smile.

"I can afford it. I'm afraid that even the Hanlin in the palace can't do it. But the girl took advantage of it. The riddles were all from you, so I'll naturally get it every guess!" Zhao Bing said with an expression that was not a joke. He thought to himself that this little girl was indeed very thoughtful. She successfully won the opportunity to show her talent in a few words and attracted her attention again.

"Your Majesty ordered me to take charge of this matter and do my best. I will be a good person and do not participate in the game, so I will avoid being unfair." Wu Xi hung the lantern and said with politeness.

"To help you enjoy yourself, I have set some prizes. It would be a pity for the girl to not participate." Zhao Bing said again after hearing this.

"Although it's a pity, I can't be unfair, I can only stay next time!" Wu Xi replied.

"It's really rare for a girl to be open-minded!" Zhao Bing nodded and said. He knew that the government and the country were proud of being rewarded by the palace, but he was able to give up this rare opportunity on his own initiative, which was admirable. But on the other hand, he was fishing for big fish with a long line and would not lose big because of small things.

"Your Majesty, Miss Wu is indeed a talented person. She will make arrangements in just a short time, which is not something that ordinary people can do." After he left, Wang De pointed to the venue in the side street.

"Knowing people and face but not the heart. Some people have greater ability, and they will do more evil in the future. I think Chen Yizhong was also a talented man at that time, but after stealing the position, he harmed the country and the people, and almost destroyed the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Bing frowned and said.

"Your Majesty is far-reaching and you must choose one well to avoid leaving any troubles." Wang De nodded and said.

"What I told you should check as soon as possible to see if someone accepted a bribe and secretly became a ghost from the side, excluding those who are truly virtuous and virtuous, thus concealing the queen mother." Zhao Bing reminded again, "Those who have ever inquired about the news from the palace, asked about my preferences, and disliked things must also be found out to see if they have to do with the beautiful girl's family."
