In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 21
Hearing the sound, Zhao Yurui quickly turned around, turned his back to the courtyard door behind him, took out a huddled cap from the sleeve of his left hand, and threw it into the pond.

Officials in the Song Dynasty were all equipped with official hats, and this one was allocated to him by the Ministry of Rites yesterday, but in summer, because it was too hot, many officials would not wear it, including the emperor, so he didn't wear it either.

Zhao Yurui picked up the branch again and pulled the official hat in the pond. After pulling it a few times, the official hat became farther and farther away, and the river was covered with lotus flowers, otherwise the official hat would have sunk.

Zhao Yurui gritted her teeth, and quickly began to take off her boots, and soon she was barefoot.

At this time, he tried to lift up his trousers, supported the pillar on the edge of the pavilion with one hand, and tried to step his foot into the water with the other.

But he didn't really step into the water, he just pretended to step on the water.

"Ah!" Suddenly someone screamed behind him.

Zhao Yurui stopped her feet in horror and turned around.

There were two women and a man behind him, one was wearing a Chinese dress, the other two were obviously court ladies and an eunuch, and the eunuch was holding a box in his hand, the three of them were staring at his bootless feet with incredulous expressions.

"Uh——" Zhao Yurui calmly pointed to the pond: "The hat fell off—"

The woman in a fancy dress among the "bastards" came back to her senses and was furious: "Who are you, dare to trespass on the harem?"

"This king is Yi Wang Zhao Yurui. I accidentally dropped my official hat in it just now. I want to fish it out of the pond." Zhao Yurui said with an innocent expression, "I didn't mean it."

"A new attack on King Yi?" The woman in Chinese clothes was none other than Song Ningzong's most beloved concubine, Mrs. Zhong.

"Why are you here?" Mrs. Zhong was ashamed and angry, because Zhao Yurui was very indecent, her trousers were rolled up to her calves, and her feet were bare. In ancient times, if a woman's feet were seen by a man, she would basically marry her. Give it to this man, and now Mrs. Zhong saw a young man's feet out of nowhere, and she was really furious.

She thought about it for a while and found it very inconvenient, so she pointed at him and said angrily, "Put on your boots quickly, what's the matter?"

The maid also turned her head with a snicker.

Zhao Yurui got up quickly, put on his boots and said, "Your Majesty summoned me to Yutang to face the saint, and I passed by here."

"Who sent you in? No one is with you?"

"It's Yao Bizhi, Yao Duzhi. He was called by Empress Yang's people just now, and he pointed the direction to the king, saying that he passed Liufang Garden, and then passed a courtyard, which is Yutang."

"There's no reason for that." Mrs. Zhong's voice was still very angry, but her expression gradually calmed down, because what Zhao Yurui said had no loopholes, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

In just a short while, Zhao Yurui quickly put on his boots, put down his trousers, straightened his clothes, and stood up straight: "I don't know if you are coming from behind, and Yurui is really rude, but—official hat Go to the pond and meet Sheng——I don’t know what to do with Rui—”

What he brought into the palace this time was a straight-legged headpiece common to monarchs and ministers, with a long horizontal strap on the left and right sides, if it bumps into something, it is indeed easy to fall off.

Zhao Yurui looked at the official hat in the pond anxiously, with a depressed expression.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhong looked at Zhao and Rui again.

Zhao Yurui put on his boots, straightened his robe, and stood up straight again. He looked handsome, a very handsome young man.

Zhao Yurui also looked at her at the same time.

Mrs. Zhong is nearly [-] years old, but she is well maintained. She looks like she is in her early twenties. She is a bit tall. She wears a light red dress that is close-fitting. After her waist is tightened, you can feel that her figure is relatively slender, and her legs are also very thin. long.

But the most eye-catching thing is her eyes, which are big and charming. When the eyes are flowing, they look bright and bright, which really makes people's heart beat. Among the women Zhao Yurui knows so far, whether it is Xiaotao, Qiuyue, or Xu, The appearance and style are not as good as Mrs. Zhong.

After Mrs. Zhong, Song Ningzong did not accept concubines for more than ten years, which can be seen.

Realizing that Zhao Yurui was also looking at her, Mrs. Zhong suddenly blushed, and she snorted coldly.

Zhao Yurui hurriedly lowered her head and whispered, "I don't know?"

When he first came to the deep palace, of course he didn't know who the other party was. Shi Miyuan only said that someone could keep him in the capital, but he didn't tell him who it was.

"This is our Madam Maude." The little maid said loudly.

Madam is the title of the second rank of the harem, which is higher than concubines and concubines in the imperial palace of the Southern Song Dynasty, but there are five levels of concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, and empresses.

Although Mrs. Zhong didn't even confer a noble concubine, her status in the harem is now the only one, and no one dares to mess with her.

"It turned out to be Lady Zhong. Yu Rui was rude." Zhao Yurui bent down again with a respectful expression.

As a junior, it's no problem for him to call his wife this time.

But when he bent halfway, he raised his head slightly and glanced at Mrs. Zhong.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhong was also looking at him, and the eyes of the two met again in the air for a moment.

Zhao Yurui was taken aback, and immediately looked away, but seeing that Mrs. Zhong had a smile on her lips, she was still looking at him calmly.

"Damn it." Zhao Yurui cursed in his heart. Shi Miyuan asked him to get a hat here just to meet the emperor's concubine Mrs. Zhong in advance?
Mrs. Zhong is so young and beautiful, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance.

Several people were startled at the same time.

Zhao Yurui turned her head and saw Yao Bizhi walking quickly in the distance.

"Meet Mrs. Zhong." Yao Bizhi was very polite.

Zhao Yurui remained calm, thinking that all the eunuchs around Song Ningzong could secretly help Shi Miyuan, and now Shi Miyuan is truly invincible.

Mrs. Zhong greeted him, and Yao Bizhi said that he had something to do just now, and now he is sending King Yi to Yutang.

He also learned that the official hat of King Yi fell into the pond.

Yao Bizhi said, it's hot today, and it's fine for King Yi not to wear a hat.

Mrs. Zhong said: "Huang Chang, help King Yi to get the hat off."

"Yes."

"..." Huang Chang?Zhao Yurui looked back at the little eunuch with a dazed expression.

The little eunuch obviously didn't know kung fu, so he put down the box in his hand, just took his clothes and jumped into the river.

"Go back to the Renming Hall to get the younger one, and hurry to the Yutang, Your Majesty is about to come down." Yao Bizhi said at this time.

Before leaving, Zhao Yurui glanced at Mrs. Zhong again, and saluted her.

Yao Bizhi said at this time: "If King Yi can stay in the capital, he will come to see Mrs. Zhong more often in the future."

"That's that, that's that." Zhao Yurui smiled and looked at Mrs. Zhong again.

Mrs. Zhong didn't look at him, but looked away with a straight face. After Yao Bizhi arrived, Mrs. Zhong's expression was completely different.

But Zhao Yurui could still feel the sparkle in Madam Zhong's eyes, which was extremely charming.

Waiting for Yao Bizhi to leave Liufang Garden with Zhao Yurui and head north.

Mrs. Zhong turned around and stared at Zhao Yurui's back. She had no expression on her face, but in her mind, Zhao Yurui's trousers were rolled up, her feet were bare, and she had a blank expression.

What a handsome and lovely person, Mrs. Zhong looked at his back, and wished that the emperor would cut Zhao Yurui up with a single knife, and give her as a little eunuch by her side.

If Zhao Yurui knew that Mrs. Zhong was thinking of cutting him into a eunuch now, how would she feel in her heart, would she thank Shi Miyuan's family again.
