Self-cultivation after the cannon fodder

Not long after, Xiao Yiming really went to the book, bluntly saying that the internal treasury was not full enough for Zong Qihao to spend, and he should not focus on the heirs of the harem right now.

What's more, Zong Qihao is still young now, if he has a child now, ten years later, Zong Qihao is still in his prime, and the relationship between father and son will become difficult to handle.

The last reason is cryptic, but Zong Qihao knows the specific meaning.

As a result, several officials who kept reading the book were scolded for a while, and they didn't dare to mention it again in desperation, and only said to let nature take its course.

"Let it be as it is?" Zhu Sining couldn't stop laughing after listening to Xiao Yiming's description, "Lord Xiao still has a way, and this directly stepped on His Majesty's bottom line."

Xiao Yiming said: "This is not a smart way." He pointed this out, and he didn't know if Zong Qihao would feel that he was speculating on the Sacred Heart.

Since ancient times, emperors are the most suspicious, and they don't like others to guess his intentions. Even if Zong Qihao usually behaves transparently, this is his taboo.

"For drafts, if it fails the first time, there will be a second time," Xiao Yiming persuaded, "Your Highness, it's better not to be too indulging in it."

Sitting in this position is bound to experience these.After getting in touch these days, Zhu Sining is cheerful, lively and warm-hearted. Even if he is ignorant and skillless, he is still a likable friend.

A queen, under one person, still has to rack her brains to think of suitable words to praise and please the emperor. She lives so cautiously. Presumably the emperor doesn't trust and like this queen from Qin-wang's mansion, and is afraid of him.

Seeing that the other party was worried because of a draft, Xiao Yiming felt a little uncomfortable.

If he didn't enter the palace, Zhu Sining would definitely want to do what he wanted to do when he was away. With the support of Prince Qin's mansion behind him, he could live a lifetime of wealth and no worries.

Because Zhu Sining simply followed the plot and reminded Xiao Yiming to go to the memorial to object according to the original plot, and he didn't do anything himself, so the progress of this task was only given one percentage point.

At this time, Zong Qihao had a vague crush on Xiao Yiming, but he hadn't realized it yet.

If it can promote the progress of the relationship between Zong and Xiao, it can be regarded as helpful to the plot, and there is still a chance to save the progress!

Zhu Sining was more concerned about Zong Qihao's reaction to the draft. It would be best to let Xiao Yiming know that Zong Qihao cared about his thoughts.

"What was it like when His Majesty summoned you?"

"What's it like? Does Your Highness mean what kind of mood does His Majesty seem to have?" After writing the book, Xiao Yiming was called by Zong Qihao to debate with several adults who supported the draft. own advice.

"Your Majesty... Isn't it always like that?" Seeing that Zhu Sining was so discouraged, Xiao Yiming laughed again, "I'm just kidding, it can be seen that Your Majesty doesn't like drafts, that's why His Majesty can see the memorials of humble ministers. usefulness."

"That is to say, His Majesty liked your memorial very much?"

"Of course I like it. Your Majesty didn't want to draft."

Zong Qihao himself was somewhat resistant to the draft. The main reason was that the hunt gave him a kind of coercive oppression for no reason. As an emperor, he could not tolerate it.Xiao Yiming's memorial was the last straw that broke the camel's back and made him firm in his determination.

Zhu Sining asked: "Your Majesty's reply to you, can you show me?" He had to analyze it carefully, and must pick out some sugar residue from those few words.

The memorial is still going through the process, and Xiao Yiming can only get it after it is archived, but he is in the Imperial Academy, so he knows the content.

"The memorial is not in the hands of the minister," Xiao Yiming picked up the pen, "Your Highness, wait a moment, and wait for the minister to write it silently."

"Okay, I'll wait for Master Xiao, write slowly, don't worry." Zhu Sining tidied up the other side of the desktop, and leaned over to Xiao Yiming's side to see what he wrote from time to time.

"It's finished." Xiao Yiming found a paperweight to hold it down, "Your Highness, is there any dissatisfaction?"

"Why is it written so simply, just 'clear' and 'Xiao Qing is right'?" Zhu Sining felt that this reply was too simple, so he had to praise Xiao Yiming's ability.

Xiao Yiming rubbed his nose: "Actually, there are more, but..."

"But what?"

"It's a reply to greet you." Xiao Yiming replied, Zong Qihao also responded to the greeting papers he had handed to Zong Qihao before, and asked him not to send so many papers again.

Xiao Yiming didn't have the nerve to write it out.

"That's good. It's better to be willing to go back than nothing. I don't have these." Of course, Zhu Sining didn't have it because he didn't write it at all. If Zong Qihao stayed overnight, he would wake up the next day faster than Zhu Sining Good morning, that greeting in the morning, Zhu Sining rarely said it at the right time.

Xiao Yiming paused: "Actually, nothing is nothing, they are all familiar words."

Zhu Sining: "That's different." How could the cannon fodder and the protagonist have the same treatment?

"Your Majesty is so busy, he is willing to take the time to reply to your memorial. What does that mean?" Zhu Sining persuaded and inspired Xiao Yiming.

"It means that he..." Xiao Yiming thought for a while, "There are too many state affairs, and there are such boring memorials, is Your Majesty getting impatient?"

"Wrong!" Zhu Sining corrected, "If you are impatient, His Majesty will definitely not reply to you. It means that he sees everything you do. He has been watching you all the time."

This sounds scary at first glance...

Xiao Yiming rubbed his arms, not knowing what expression to make: "What is your Highness trying to say by saying so much?"

Zhu Sining made a deep expression: "Did you feel anything?"

For example, Zong Qihao has been watching you with fiery eyes full of love.

Xiao Yiming: "What?"

Having said so much by himself, Xiao Yiming still looked like he didn't know what to do. Zhu Sining picked up the paperweight, stepped over the table with half of his body and approached Xiao Yiming, and knocked on the table: "I have reminded so much, why do you think Don't understand? Why do you think His Majesty wants to draft? Why did His Majesty change his attitude as soon as you entered the book, and then summon you? Why do you think this is?"

"……why?"

Xiao Yiming swallowed, leaned back slightly, not daring to look directly at Zhu Sining.

The draft has always been played by officials, and there are also voices of opposition. Zong Qihao has not listened to it, which means that there is no such intention, but he did not directly say that the memorial he presented this time hits the point, and Zong Qihao naturally wants to summon him.

It's all so clear, but Xiao Yiming still doesn't understand.Zhu Sining sighed: "Student Xiao Ming, you have disappointed me."

"I'm sorry Your Highness." Xiao Yiming really wanted to laugh, especially when Zhu Sining said this, he still looked very serious.

But you still have to hold back, or Zhu Sining might get really angry.

Talking dryly, Xiao Yiming still didn't understand the main point. Seeing that the sun was rising, Zhu Sining had no choice but to let others go temporarily, and walked out of the library together with Xiao Yiming.

"Does Your Highness want to go back and come back in the afternoon?"

Today Xiao Yiming was on duty at the Hanlin Academy again, and servants from the family had already brought food boxes over.

Zhu Sining subconsciously looked at the Jiaofang Temple in the distance. The sun was glaring, and he blinked uncomfortably.

"I want to stay here. If I go back, I will come here in the afternoon under the sun."

"Did Your Highness not bring an umbrella? It's such a big sun." Xiao Yiming opened his umbrella to avoid the palace servants who came to help, "Come here, Your Highness, just go."

"It's very hot, and the sun is uncomfortable."

Xiao Yiming laughed sullenly: "So you still want to hold an umbrella?"

"What are you laughing at? The umbrellas are all girls. If I also get such an umbrella, I'd be so embarrassed."

I almost forgot that the person who shared the umbrella with him was in a harem full of women, and he was the queen with a man's body. Xiao Yiming gripped the handle of the umbrella and leaned slightly towards Zhu Sining: "That's right."

This time, Zhu Sining successfully ate Xiao Yiming's chef's specialty dishes, and he also invited Xiao Yiming to taste a few royal dishes that he thought were particularly delicious.

It was not until Xiao Yiming was about to leave work that Zhu Sining returned to Jiaofangdian.

The atmosphere in the whole Jiaofang Palace was not right. It was not usually lively, but the overall environment was relaxed and pleasant, and the palace people were not so nervous.

Seeing Zhu Sining, the palace guard at the door heaved a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, you are finally back. Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Why didn't your majesty notify me when he came?"

"Your Majesty refuses." The palace servants were about to cry. Seeing that Zong Qihao's face was becoming more and more ugly, Zhu Sining had been missing for a long time, and they were not allowed to look for them. Even if they didn't speak to let go, they were also very scared .

It seems that the situation is not very good, it will affect the innocent, so Zhu Sining and the palace people don't have to follow.

Entering the door lightly, when Zhu Sining raised his head, he saw Zong Qihao sitting directly facing him, with burning eyes and an expressionless face.

It was dusk, all the palace people were driven out by Zong Qihao, only two candles were lit in the corner of the hall, half of Zong Qihao's figure became blurred.

"A-Ning didn't come back until now? Did you go to the library?"

"Yes, I've been with Master Xiao all day today." Zhu Sining confessed honestly, "You have made His Majesty wait for so long, but His Majesty can actually send someone to find me."

Zong Qihao suddenly stood up and walked towards Zhu Sining.

"Send someone to tell you, will you come back?"

"If His Majesty has something to do, he will definitely come back."

"What if it's okay?"

Zhu Sining was full of doubts: "It's nothing, why did Your Majesty look for me?"

"Yeah, why did I find you..." Zong Qihao murmured in a low voice.

Zhu Sining didn't want to answer, fearing that the two of them would entangle each other endlessly.

The air condensed, and Zong Qihao stared at the person without blinking but didn't speak, which made Zhu Sining even more nervous.

"A-Ning seems to like to go to Xiao Qing very much. What will you talk about together?"

"Let's talk casually. Master Xiao also heard a lot of stories when he was a child, and it was quite interesting. There are also some miscellaneous books. Master Xiao has also read a lot..." Zhu Sining said more and more in a low voice.

"Can't you finish talking all day? Don't even want to come back?" Zong Qihao felt ridiculous. Every time he and Zhu Sining sat together, they didn't have much to talk about, but Zhu Sining and the others had endless things to say .

When it was over, Zong Qihao became angry.

Zhu Sining hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

It's this kind of good guy again, no matter what's wrong or right, apologizing just wants to solve the problem.

Zong Qihao became even more angry: "Where did you go wrong?"

At the last moment when Zong Qihao finished speaking, Zhu Sining realized that Zong Qihao was jealous!

Zong Qihao was not happy when he was with Xiao Yiming.

"I shouldn't be with Master Xiao all day, I'm sorry for His Majesty."

Zong Qihao was stunned, and immediately didn't know how to continue: "You...you..."

Zhu Sining: "I know everything!"

This is where love begins—
