After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

The nights in mid-spring are already a bit stuffy, but it is easy to catch cold when sleeping outside.

Song Yaoxu put down his sword and wanted to go forward and bring Qi Zizhen back to the room.

However, as soon as his hand touched Qi Zizhen's shoulder, he suddenly woke up, his eyes filled with frost-like vigilance.

After seeing clearly that the person in front of him was Song Yaoxu, Qi Zizhen was stunned for a moment before recovering, and said softly, "Sorry, I tend to be overwhelmed when I don't sleep well."

In this world, Qi Zizhen has always had this habit. If he has just fallen asleep and is not fully asleep, he will wake up vigilantly when someone approaches him suddenly.

He didn't know what he was wary of, and he couldn't correct this habit, so he just gave up in the end.

Song Yaoxu naturally didn't care about his state just now, and said with a smile: "It's okay. You just woke up too, why don't you go back to your room and sleep again? It's easy to catch cold outside."

Qi Zizhen yawned, stood up from the ground, and patted the grass clippings on his body: "Then I'll go back first, Your Highness remember to rest early."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yaoxu suddenly took a step forward and narrowed the distance between the two of them, then raised his hand as if gently taking something from his hair, and said with a gentle smile, "It's covered in grass. I will rest earlier, you go back quickly, sweet dream."

"...Sweet dream." Qi Zizhen paused for a moment before answering, then distanced himself and turned back to the room.

On the way back, he still felt a little strange—he obviously slept on the rockery, why was there grass on his hair?

Under the drowsiness, Qi Zizhen didn't think too much, and let this question pass through his mind for a while, and then dissipated in the vast night.

The night before, Qi Zizhen was so tired that he couldn't fall asleep due to various complicated emotions. After returning to the room, he just wanted to lie down as soon as possible, and even forgot to change the candle lamp on the table every night before going to bed.

So that when the wick of the candle lamp burned out at night, he suddenly woke up from his sleep.

Qi Zizhen looked at the darkness in the room, let out a breath, lifted the quilt and got up to search for a new candle, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

Mostly used up.

In front of the window beside the bed was a piece of bright and frosty moonlight, and the room was not too dark under the moonlight, so it was not impossible if one wanted to sleep.It's just that Qi Zizhen is used to brighter light, and it's easy to have nightmares if it's too dark.

With a sigh, he put on his coat and prepared to go out to ask the servants on duty at night.

Since there was no one else in his yard, he went directly to Song Yaoxu's yard after going out, and unexpectedly found that the light in Song Yaoxu's room was still on, as if he hadn't rested yet.

Qi Zizhen casually greeted a court lady who was originally Hou at the door of Song Yaoxu's room, and asked her softly, "What time is it?"

"It's time to report back to the young pagoda master." The maid replied softly and politely.

At the time of Chouchu, converted to the time of the present world, it is one o'clock in the morning.Song Yaoxu still had to go to court at five o'clock in the morning, and there were only four hours left to guarantee. Didn't he just want to stay up all night?

Qi Zizhen rubbed his temples, told the maid to go back to her post, followed her to the door, and pushed the door open without knocking.

"...Zizhen?" Song Yaoxu sat in front of the desk, raised his head to meet Qi Zizhen's gaze after hearing the movement, and was a little surprised, "Didn't you fall asleep?"

While closing the door, Qi Zizhen said coldly: "If I hadn't run out of candles in my room and came out to look for them, I really don't know that this is what His Highness said to rest earlier."

Song Yaoxu closed the scroll in his hand with a little guilt, coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I'm just about to take a rest."

Qi Zizhen didn't believe his nonsense, stepped forward to take a look, and found that the book in his hand was actually a volume of art of war.

In order to improve Song Yaoxu's theoretical knowledge in governing the country, he asked him to read mostly literature and history books, and did not specifically let Song Yaoxu read military books.

Noticing Qi Zizhen's doubts, Song Yaoxu smiled embarrassedly, and replied softly: "A few times ago in the early dynasties, officials had mentioned that there might be changes in the border. Today, Zizhen suddenly asked me to practice swordsmanship. I guess it has something to do with it."

His voice was inextricably tired, obviously very tired.

Qi Zizhen glanced at all kinds of books piled up on his desk, and sighed lightly: "I didn't tell you the reason clearly, but I was afraid that you would be too tired."

"I know that Zizhen is thinking of me." Song Yaoxu smiled softly, then lowered his eyes and slowed down his tone, "It's just that I also hope that I can grow up quickly and become a qualified prince in Zizhen's heart."

Song Yaoxu's voice was very soft, like a soft hammer, it was neither painful nor itchy when it hit the bottom of his heart lightly, but he could clearly feel it.

It makes people feel reluctant to say something to blame him.

Qi Zizhen was discouraged, and moved a chair to sit opposite Song Yaoxu.

Now that Song Yaoxu had guessed part of the reason, he didn't intend to continue to hide it. He patiently analyzed the current situation with him and told him that he needed to seize this opportunity and go to the battlefield to hone himself.

In the Ling dynasty and the previous dynasty, it was not uncommon for princes to go out to war, but most of them were brave and good at fighting.If King Guan wants to get rid of Song Yaoxu, letting him who is "weak and incompetent" go to war is also an excellent plan.

As for the previous assassin incident, Qi Zizhen deliberately let Qi Zishan conceal his knowledge of martial arts, in order to lower Guan Wang's vigilance, and make Guan Wang mistakenly think that he is just a frail scholar, even if he is by Song Yaoxu's side. no problem.

Song Yaoxu had a general understanding of Qi Zizhen's thoughts, and there was still some worry in his eyes: "It will take at least a few months to go out with the army. During this period of time, the emperor... the king will do something about military affairs, what should we do?"

Qi Zizhen had thought about this issue before, and said with confidence: "Your Highness, don't worry, the Ling Dynasty has a lot of luck, we just need to let the national teacher help take care of it. Besides, I believe that no matter how powerful the king is in the court, it is impossible There are always truly virtuous ministers.

"With their help, at least we won't become too passive in the short term."

Song Yaoxu nodded, probably understanding Qi Zizhen's plan.

Now that these topics have been mentioned, Qi Zizhen simply talked about some military and political theories with Song Yaoxu, and temporarily made up for him.

The former "he" was also very talented in this area. Qi Zizhen talked about these contents endlessly, and many of the insights that came to mind on the fly also had their own reasons.

Song Yaoxu listened carefully and occasionally raised questions.

Before they knew it, they talked for half an hour.

Song Yaoxu was worried about his dry mouth, so he went to the inner room to pour him a cup of tea, and when he came out again, he saw Qi Zizhen lying on the table and falling asleep.

He looked at Qi Zizhen's quiet side face, smiled, went back to the inner room and took out a thin blanket, and waited for Qi Zizhen's breathing to gradually calm down before gently covering him.

Then he went back to the other side of the desk, and gently opened the book of war that had just been closed.

Quiet night.

At Yinzheng that day, Qi Zizhen, who was lying on the table and sleeping unsteadily, woke up slowly, and when he sat up in a daze, he felt something slipped from his body.

……blanket?

Qi Zizhen grabbed the thin blanket he had picked up, his still-awake head went blank for a moment before he remembered that he accidentally fell asleep in the room of His Highness the Prince last night.

He turned his head, and saw Song Yaoxu lying on the other side of the desk, with the military book he read last night under his arm.

You don't need to guess to know that Song Yaoxu must have watched him for a long time last night after he fell asleep.

Qi Zizhen stood up carefully, covered Song Yaoxu with the blanket in his hand, and then quietly prepared to leave first, so as not to disturb him and continue to rest.

But as soon as he walked to the door, the door was just pushed open by Cui Liang who came to wake Song Yaoxu up.

Cui Liang was stunned for a moment, subconsciously said "I'm sorry I went wrong", and then closed the door again, but after closing it, he looked at the maids and eunuchs standing aside and scratched his head.

...No, it seems that I went right?
