Funing Hall

Zhao Cong didn't know what Zhao Shiqi was worried about.

As far as Zhao Shiqi is concerned, what really scares him is that Zhao Cong may not believe him, Zhao Cong even has a relationship with Li Liangcheng, Li Liangcheng deliberately approached him, maybe Zhao Cong meant it.

Thinking of what he said with Li Liangcheng, he felt a little regretful.It seems that he shouldn't just use his tricks like that. Li Liangcheng even said that he would help him sit on the throne as soon as possible. If Li Liangcheng really ordered Zhao Cong to come...

When Zhao Shiqi thought about it, he felt a little hairy.

It was rare for him to get hairy, and it was also rare for him to be silent. Zhao Cong didn't hear his voice for a long time, looked up at him, and saw his frown.After all, Zhao Cong still felt sorry for him, secretly calculated, and locked him up for several days, then said: "Okay, don't be unhappy, you can continue to study books tomorrow."

Zhao Shiqi didn't come back to his senses.

Zhao Cong stretched out his hand to cover his face, feeling the coolness, Zhao Shiqi regained consciousness and raised his head: "Your Majesty?"

"Tomorrow I'm going to revise my books."

Although Zhao Shiqi was nervous, his observation ability was not weak. No matter how he looked at it, Zhao Cong treated him as before.Especially after thinking about Li Liangcheng looking for him, Zhao Cong didn't feel strange at all.He temporarily put aside the worries in his heart, and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty is the best."

Zhao Cong couldn't help laughing: "It's not good to lock you up, but it's okay to let you out?"

With such an intimate tone, Zhao Shiqi put aside all worries, got up and sat beside him, and said, "Your Majesty is fine anytime."

The corners of Zhao Cong's mouth curled up, and did not fall for a long time.

Zhao Shiqi ended his days of confinement, and went to Zangshuge to repair books the next day.

The colleagues didn't know that he was imprisoned by His Majesty, they just thought that they didn't see him these days, and he was doing something for His Majesty. When they saw him coming in the morning, they greeted him one after another.They usually have their own yamen outside the palace for business affairs, but recently they have to read a lot of books in the palace to repair books, there is a vacant wing room in the library, and they are in charge of this matter, the two of them share a room.

The roommate with Zhao Shiqi was a young adult, surnamed Yu, who had always been quiet.Zhao Shiqi is not warm-hearted, nor does he come every day, and he has not talked to him a few times.He came early that day, Mr. Yu seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then he lowered his head and never looked at him again.

Zhao Shiqi didn't take it to heart, just like in the past, he lowered his head and turned to the book, and then copied it on paper.

When it was time to eat at noon, Ji Xiang came to bring him food, and he knew that His Majesty had something to do today, so he didn't have time to eat with him.It was very sunny outside, he was not coquettish, but also felt sunburnt, so he sat in the house and had a meal.Zhao Shiqi was also polite and didn't care about his colleagues.

Jixiang took the food out, and said softly: "This soup is stewed by Concubine Shu herself. If you say it is the Lord, you will love it."

Zhao Shiqi nodded, Qian Yuemo often stewed soup for Zhao Cong, and even had his share.

Jixiang handed him the spoon, he took a few sips, nodded and said, "It tastes good."

Ji Xiang smiled: "Ms. Concubine Shu said it was stewed all night."

Zhao Shiqi drank more than half of the bowl before he began to lift his chopsticks.

Suddenly there was a sound beside him, Jixiang saw that the colleague of their lord bowed his head and hurried away.Jixiang didn't take it seriously either, it's always been others trying to curry favor with their lord.Auspiciousness doesn't pay attention to these people at all.Auspiciousness is not in the eyes, let alone Zhao Shiqi.

The sun was high, and it was not easy for Zhao Shiqi to go outside to digest food after eating.He walked around the room a few times, feeling a bit sleepy, but he didn't have the habit of taking a nap, so he asked someone to go to Chongzheng Hall to see if His Majesty was still busy.

The little eunuch who went to inquire soon came back, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has already prepared a meal, and Mr. Qian has come into the palace."

Upon hearing Qian Shang's name, Zhao Shiqi felt uncomfortable.

He got up and walked directly to Chongzheng Hall.

The eunuch guarding the gate saluted him, but he didn't go in specifically to pass the news to him. The only ones who received such treatment at His Majesty's place were Shi Shi Langjun and Princess Baoning.

Zhao Shiqi strode into the main hall of the main hall, and through the bamboo curtain, he heard Zhao Cong saying: "As for the Western Xia issue, I feel—"

"Your Majesty." He quickly opened the bamboo curtain and walked inside.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Cong looked at him, "Are you ready for lunch?"

Qian Shang smiled and bowed to him: "Eleventh Lord."

Zhao Shiqi looked at Qian Shang, walked up to Zhao Cong, and said, "I just had lunch, let's come and see Your Majesty."

Zhao Cong smiled: "It's like a child." He laughed, and then said, "I'm just talking to Qian Xianggong about Xixia, you go inside and rest for a while."

Zhao Shiqi just didn't want Zhao Cong to say any more confidential matters to Qian Shang. Although he didn't have enough evidence, Qian Shang was absolutely suspicious.He immediately said: "Speak, I'll listen here."

"Success." Zhao Cong believed him the most, and turned to Qian Shang, "After Li Mingchun recovered from his illness, it became more and more unpredictable. He has so many sons, and he doesn't know who to use." Zhao Cong had already been with Qian Shang. Li Mingchun reached an agreement, but Qianshang entered the palace to ask him about Xixia, and he always wanted to find some excuses.

"Your Majesty, I think that I'm afraid I still have to support orthodoxy."

Zhao Shiqi raised his eyebrows secretly, what does the money merchant mean by supporting the eldest prince at this time?

Zhao Cong didn't change his face, and talked a lot back and forth with the money merchant.Zhao Shiqi didn't interrupt again, it was because Zhao Cong seemed to say a lot back and forth, but in fact it was all nonsense.After finishing speaking, he didn't draw any conclusions, and he didn't tell Qian Shang anything.

He snickered.

It's not that Zhao Cong doubts the money merchant, it's really about this matter, he and Li Mingchun agreed to keep it a secret, and the contract will be announced next year when the contract takes effect, what can he say to the money merchant?He can only do Tai Chi.

After talking, Zhao Cong was a little thirsty and drank some water, and the money merchant wanted to ask again.

Zhao Shiqi said: "Your Majesty, why don't you save your money for lunch together?"

Qian Shang immediately came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, look at this—I forgot that it's already lunch time."

"It's okay, Mingyi stay and have dinner together?"

Qian Shang declined with a smile, didn't stay any longer, turned and left.

As soon as Qian Shang left, Zhao Cong immediately asked, "Why do you seem to be targeting Qian Shang? Is it because of Concubine Shu?"

Zhao Shiqi was deliberately targeting him. He looked at Zhao Cong: "Your Majesty, Qian Yuemo is the concubine Shu, and Qian Shang is the prime minister. His sons are all in important positions."

Zhao Cong nodded: "I know, I gave it all."

"That's too much."

Zhao Cong sighed: "Qian Shang supported me very early on, and his ability is also worthy of being the prime minister. Concubine Shu's elder brothers are also capable people, but all of them hold important positions, which is indeed my compensation to Concubine Shu."

"compensate?"

Zhao Cong thought for a while, and said truthfully, "Concubine Shu has helped me a lot."

"What can she do for His Majesty?"

"..."

Zhao Shiqi always thought that Zhao Cong and Qian Yuemo were married, after all, Qian Yuemo had been a concubine for many years.But he didn't come from the future world. In the Song Dynasty, marrying a wife and accepting a concubine was a matter of course. Although Zhao Cong and a woman had the reality of husband and wife, although he was not happy, he could barely accept it.He could only accept it, after all, when Qian Yuemo entered the palace, he was only 11 years old.

Zhao Cong has never brought up this matter, mainly because he is embarrassed, and he is even more unfriendly to Qian Yuemo, so how can he bring up these things about girls.

But at this moment, he thought about it, and said softly: "Yue Niang is my best friend."

Hearing their majesty say "Yue Niang", Zhao Shiqi subconsciously wanted to drink jealousy again, and when he was half jealous, he was even more puzzled: "Best friend?"

Zhao Cong nodded: "A best friend is only a best friend."

Zhao Shiqi didn't understand, he thought of "best friend" once in his mind.

Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, Zhao Cong couldn't explain it further.He simply got up and said, "You think about it here, and I'll go to eat." After he said that, he called Fulu and walked into the inner room.

Best friend, best friend?

Zhao Shiqi thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, he felt that he understood, he immediately got up, and strode towards the inner room.

Zhao Cong sat down and took a sip of the soup, while Fu Lu served the dishes beside him.He raised his chopsticks and was about to eat when Zhao Shiqi strode in. As soon as he entered, he stood in front of him and said excitedly: "Your Majesty!"

"……cough."

Okay, I figured it out.Zhao Cong motioned to Fu Lu, and Fu Lu retreated first.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is only your best friend?"

"……Yes."

The ancients paid attention to subtlety when speaking. Even Zhao Shiqi, who was not thin-skinned, could not say more presumptuous words, but Zhao Cong knew it, and Zhao Shiqi understood it.

Zhao Shiqi not only understood, he was going crazy with joy.

Zhao Cong only summoned Qian Yuemo to serve as a servant, but according to what Zhao Cong said, even this servant does not exist, and he has never touched the other concubines!He thought that, except himself, no one had ever touched or seen Zhao Cong's body, and he was so excited that he even wanted to yell twice.

Seeing that his eyes were red with excitement, Zhao Cong hurriedly said: "At that time, Concubine Shu contributed a lot to the fight with Empress Dowager Sun. I also promised to make her a queen in the future, but I made a mistake."

Zhao Shiqi restrained his excitement, and said, "Your Majesty must not become an empress, you promised me."

"It's long ago." Zhao Cong pulled him to sit down beside him, and said softly, "If you say that the money merchant is honest, how is it possible? As an official, whoever sits in his position is stupid? What? It's just that when I was weak, he took refuge in me. I remember the love back then. As long as it doesn't touch my bottom line, I can tolerate him."

"Just don't trust him too much, Your Majesty." Zhao Shiqi knew that Zhao Cong was a kind-hearted person, and he would keep every kindness in his heart.He was afraid that Zhao Cong had said too much truth to Qian Shang.

Zhao Cong smiled and blinked at him: "I'm still a few years older than you, I'm not stupid. Only you and Ning Ning, I have no reservations, and the rest of the people, I have three points. In the past, I and you The three-way encirclement of the Liao Kingdom is only known to you, and I know it. You see that I and Yeluqin seem to have a very good relationship now, so you think I really want to be friends with these countries? A joke. I know it in my heart, and you Take it easy!" At the end, Zhao Cong clapped his hands.

Zhao Shiqi also laughed.

He was frustrated a few days ago because he couldn't do much for Zhao Cong, but now he no longer has such emotions.Zhao Cong is weak, but very intelligent, and has great wisdom.Even if he lost a lot of initiative, he still likes to be around Zhao Cong, he likes to be ordered by Zhao Cong.

Since Zhao Cong knew to beware of money merchants, he had nothing to worry about.Just wait for his people to make progress, get the evidence, show it to Zhao Cong, and let him know.

At noon, he and Zhao Cong took a nap in the Chongzheng Palace. He didn't sleep, and he stared at Zhao Cong from the beginning to the end.

The sentence was still in his mind, only he had seen and touched Zhao Cong.

He couldn't help but giggle again.

For the first time, he was grateful to Qian Yuemo, and he was as indifferent as him. In the past, he only sympathized with Qian Yuemo, and even wanted to help a group of Qian Yuemo.
