Chapter 946 Liar

Since his wedding, Zhao Bing has lived alone in Zhiyuan Hall. The concubines all have their own residences. For two months, they only had a spring night with Li Sanniang for one night, and the others were still not touching the rain. It was not because he didn't want to deal with the affairs of the Wu family at that time, but the result was difficult to predict. Therefore, he did not want to get into the relationship too deeply, so as not to get into passiveness and make wrong judgments. In addition, I cannot make me disagree with this and have the idea of ​​coveting the position of the rear, which makes the backyard more chaotic and adds trouble to myself.

Now the major event is decided, and the Wu family's withdrawal from the officialdom is a foregone conclusion. Wu Xi's position is guaranteed, but he is punished slightly. But another series of things made him have no time to take care of the affairs of the harem. Unexpectedly, because of such a ridiculous reason, he was "regulated". If he really wanted to leave, how could he be tripped by his wife?

Zhao Bing also knew that this was just a reasonable reason for the women to find him. After all, they knew that their responsibility was to give birth to children for the emperor and continue the royal bloodline, so that they could consolidate their position in the palace. Although he was not good at romantic affairs, he was not unfamiliar with style, so he was naturally happy to jump into the pit and be "attention" by them, so he followed their arrangements.

After asking someone to attend a class for half a day, Zhao Bing should take care of the meal. You should know that even if the family doesn't eat together on weekdays, each palace can order food in the imperial kitchen, and there are small kitchens that can solve it themselves. Therefore, unless a family dinner or a special day, it is rare for them to have a meal together. But he dare not drink. Now it is the beginning of the year, and the war is urgent, and there are still a lot of official documents to be processed in the afternoon. Even if there is no urgent task, it cannot be delayed for too long.

The girls also became the emperor's habit. The meals were simple, but they tried to be delicious. The most important thing was that they could not be wasted, so a family dinner ended in a happy atmosphere. Zhao Bing took a short nap and immediately devoted himself to the battle with the official documents. In order to reduce his workload, he asked the imperial office to divide the official documents into several levels. Now he asked the heads of various departments to discuss in advance and attached their opinions on the matter.

Zhao Bing did this seem to be condoning his subordinates overpowering their power and participating in political affairs, giving them the opportunity to seek personal gain. But he did not think that this would be the case. One could reduce his workload; the other could also allow him to listen to opinions from multiple aspects; the third could also exercise his subordinates' ability to handle affairs. After all, these people cannot always stay by their side, and one day they will be left alone to stand alone.

As for whether he would seek personal gain, Zhao Bing felt that this possibility could not be ruled out, but this was just a touchstone that could be tested on them. It was not easy to seek personal gain. After all, he had to go through his own review and deputy signing of the magistrates to take effect. Even so, his workload was still heavy. The war reports and the information sent by the Affairs Bureau needed to be read in detail one by one, because the seemingly inconspicuous information often hid valuable clues, which could capture fighter jets.

It was not until the evening that Zhao Bing had basically processed the official documents. He sent them to the Imperial Front Office to reorganize them. He would be distributed to the two provinces and the Privy Council tomorrow morning so that they could be processed in time. Of course, it was not that he could leave it alone after approval, but that he still needed to ask whether it was implemented and that the situation was feedbacked. Those who did not implement it should be supervised and punished.

According to the usual practice, Zhao Bing got up and did some exercises, and then prepared for meals. If there was no urgent work, he would take a walk in the garden after dinner, come back to wash and read a book on the bed for a while, and turn off the lights to sleep at the Xu hour. But when he walked out of the study, he found that there were more people, and Su Lan was etiquette and following the rules.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" When everyone saw the emperor, they saluted.

"Oh, this is..." Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked them to avoid tribute, and hesitated.

"The official family, Concubine Chen moved here today, and I will tell them the rules." Su Lan said with politeness.

"Well, everything has been arranged!" Zhao Bing suddenly remembered this matter and nodded.

"The official family, I have already been cleaned up, and Concubine Chen is setting up inside!" Su Lan replied.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look!" Zhao Bing responded and turned to walk towards the dormitory. Su Lan also asked everyone to disband and follow quickly.

Compared with the buildings in the Beigong Palace, Zhiyuan Hall is remote and narrow, but this is only relative to other halls. The main hall has seven rooms. According to the "room" of the Song Dynasty, one room is about seven meters and the depth is ten meters. The internal space alone is nearly 500 square meters, which is not small compared to modern luxury villas. There is also a caravan in front of the hall and a terrace outside the hall. The view is wide, so it can be used to welcome guests, live and eat, watch flowers and trees, and it is very possible to hold a small singing and dancing party. There are side halls on both sides, which form a convex layout with the main hall.

In this era, the indoor space can also be easily installed with various partitions, doors, covers, screens, etc., and the disassembled movable structures can be divided arbitrarily and changed at any time, so that the indoor space can not only satisfy the homeowner's own living habits, but also quickly change the space division under special circumstances. The hall of the main hall has been divided into three parts according to Zhao Bing's intention. The front hall is the place for your guests, the middle hall is a place for tea room and leisure, and the back hall is only used as a collection of books.

The study room is isolated on the left side of the main hall, and the front and back rooms are also divided into two rooms. The front hall is used as a place for daily office and study in the harem. The back hall is the so-called war room. There are several sand tables, maps hanging on the walls, and copies of information collected by the Bureau of Affairs. They are classified and placed on several huge pavilions for easy access at any time. This room is prohibited from entering and leaving others.

On the right side of the main hall is his living place. In fact, it is not only the one he used, but two identical dormitories. Both are designed with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A small "nanny room" for rotating maids, and the largest is Zhao Bing's dormitory. Each has an independent bathroom to avoid embarrassment. Behind is the bathroom and cloakroom, and there is a secret door connecting to the outside.

The reason why it was made into two identical rooms is that Zhao Bing thought the space was too large and the living was too empty; the other was for safety reasons to prevent assassins. After all, two houses with the same layout were easy to go wrong for people who were not familiar with the situation, and the owner could also take turns to sleep, which made people unable to understand the situation. However, he felt it was troublesome and never had the problem of sleeping for half a night, and then changing to a bed, so the room was always empty.

"Hey..." Zhao Bing walked into his dormitory, but was startled and thought he had walked into the wrong house. His house had always been simple in its furnishings, but now there were many more room items, including screens, piano tables, crown frames, shelves, mirrors, dressing tables, incense tables, etc., and some treasures were placed, and the window curtains and bed curtains were also replaced with light yellow.

"Official family!" When Wang Yu, who was standing in front of the bed, turned around and bowed.

"What is Concubine Chen doing?" Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked him to avoid the tribute. Seeing his clouds scattered and sweaty face, he asked in confusion.

"The official family, I can't fold the quilt into the shape of the official family. I'm so stupid!" Wang Yu pointed to the quilt on the bed and said angrily.

"Don't be angry, I'm not blamed you!" Zhao Bing walked closer and saw that the bed had changed into a new quilt, and said with a smile. He knew that even a veteran would have to spend some effort on folding a new quilt into tofu pieces. For a lady like Wang Yu, he might not have folded a quilt.

"It's all my fault for the officials!" Wang Yu couldn't let go and said politely again.

"Did you redesign the house?" Zhao Bing gently helped him.

"I saw that the house was too simple, so I added some useful things. If the official family was not happy, I would withdraw it!" Wang Yu said nervously.

"Haha, it's good that you like it. I can move to the next house!" Zhao Bing said with a wry smile. He has also seen that the items added to the house are indeed commonly used, especially for women. So he feels that he can bear such a simple life, but there is no need to make everyone like him.

"The official family doesn't like me, do you want to drive me away?" Wang Yu was anxious when she heard this, and said embarrassedly with tears in her eyes. She also secretly hated herself for why she wanted to make her own decisions. There was already a queen who had angered His Majesty's past because of the Lantern Festival, and she reorganized the emperor's dormitory on a whim.

"I don't mean this, but I have always been used to being simple. I'm worried that you will not adapt, which will make everyone unhappy!" Zhao Bing's most feared was that the woman cried. Seeing this, she said in panic.

"Why did the official family drive me away?" After hearing the emperor's explanation, Wang Yu even believed that he was driving me away. She could no longer hold back her tears and said with grievance.

"I didn't want to drive Concubine Chen, but said I'm just changing the place!" Zhao Bing was even more panicked when he saw this and raised his hand to wipe his tears.

"The official family clearly doesn't like me, so they have to hide. Just leave!" Wang Yu cried this time.

"What I mean is that this bed is not softer than you, and the meals are much more vulgar. You will feel so inconvenient..." Zhao Bing also saw sweat on his face, his head was confused, and he still tried to explain clearly.

"The official family has been like this for many years. How can I know that I can't do it? Since I don't like me, why bother to find these reasons? I'll leave!" Wang Yu was also full of grievances and stood up and wiped her tears.

"This..." Seeing that he lost his temper, Zhao Bing looked back and wanted Su Lan to help persuade him, but he didn't know when he had avoided it, so he could only say helplessly, "I just think about you and have no other intentions, so why bother!"

"I have been in the palace for more than two months, but the official family has never been there once, and I have never said a word to me. Is it because I am not happy?" The emperor's explanation seemed so pale and powerless to Wang Yu, and shed more tears, and she whimpered.

"How could Concubine Chen think so? In fact, when I saw you in the temple, I fell in love with you. I was afraid that my sister would be angry, so I didn't dare to be abrupt!" Zhao Bing saw Wang Yu's bitter pear blossoms and rain, and looked pitiful, and he felt even more desolate, so he said what he said. Although this was true, it was a bit insincere, all of which were the result of looking at his face.

"Is what the official said true?" Wang Yu stopped crying after hearing this and asked as she looked at the emperor.

"Of course, especially my sister's dancing posture, I thought it was like Chang'e descending to earth from the sky. This scene was still in front of me!" Zhao Bing breathed a sigh of relief, but he understood that this woman likes to hear flattery, even if it is a lie.

"I don't believe it if I say this!" Wang Yu snorted.

"Why? I'm talking about my heart!" Zhao Bing was panicked when he heard this. Did he misjudgment the situation again?

"The best person on that day was Cheng Su. She was good at singing and dancing. I know she was not as good as her. I am afraid she remembered it wrong?" Wang Yu rolled her eyes. In fact, she had already called her for eight points, but she still wanted to confirm it.

"Cheng Su?! His singing and dancing are indeed good, but where can I compare my sister, especially her long legs, which is beyond her ability!" Zhao Bing shook his head and said with disdain, "Besides, Cheng Su is arrogant and competitive, so how can I compare my sister's gentle and virtuous? And my sister should know that the Empress Dowager wants to choose the Queen Mother for me. If I like her, the sisters in terms of family background will still be inferior. It was because the Queen Mother who could not resist me and made her a concubine."

"How did the official family see... I can see that I am gentle and virtuous?" Wang Yu said with a sniff. She also knew that there were only five people who passed the election on that day, and the concubines naturally came from them. The queen had already decided that the emperor had no choice but to let the emperor decide. Finally, Li Sanniang and Chen Shu would inevitably squeeze out the two of them. However, compared with these people, her family lacked connections in the court and was relatively weak in family background, and it was unexpected that she could be selected in the end. Therefore, she believed in the words of the little emperor.

"Hey, I opened a government office at the age of five and managed the country at the age of six. If I don't have the ability to identify people, how can I control the ministers? That day, I just used some small means to tell you the depth. On that day, my sister was repeatedly suppressed by Cheng Su, but she ignored her and was still tolerant to her. Especially since my sister was one of the people who ate all the meals, Sanniang and Chen Shu were by my side for many years, and knew my habits that they could not count." Although Zhao Bing didn't often lie, it would be a waste of life to deceive people. Since she found the trick, she immediately resolved the passive situation.

"Why do the official family want to drive me away?" Wang Yu finally burst into tears and laughed, leaned on the emperor's shoulder and asked softly.

"Oh, aren't you afraid that you will suffer from grievances when you live here? I'm so uneasy!" Wang Yu's height was almost the same as Zhao Bing. Seeing this, his hand naturally wrapped around his slender waist, kissed him lightly and sighed.

"As long as you can be with the official family, I will not feel wronged..." The same words moved Wang Yu at this time, and she followed her, responding to the emperor with a blushing face.
