Self-cultivation after the cannon fodder

Zhu Xiuyong's tent didn't have too many decorations, just some necessary furniture.

Zhu Sining walked around in the tent, and found that it might be difficult for him to find a relatively comfortable bed.

You have to go to the logistics housekeeper Lu Guifei first to ask for some daily necessities.

At this time, the free hunting was almost over. Most of the hunted game was washed and put on the grill. The remaining ones were either cute and escaped death, or they were waiting to be fattened up before being slaughtered and served on the table tomorrow.

When Zhu Sining found Lu Guifei, she was surrounded by a group of people.

Hunting is a large-scale gathering place, and the participants are basically high-ranking officials from aristocratic families. Even if their family background is not obvious, they must be outstanding talents and highly anticipated upstarts in the court.

Such a favorable time, place and people, it would be a waste not to take the opportunity to go on a blind date.

There are only a few female relatives who can go hunting in person, and most of them can only bend their bows symbolically. It is good to be able to hit a fixed target, but it is basically impossible to shoot a living thing.Most of the female relatives still took out their own clothes at the bottom of the box, dressed up grandly before going on stage.

Concubine Lu Gui was surrounded by a small number of girls in riding costumes, and most of them were in colorful skirts. Zhu Sining only took a look from a distance, but did not dare to move forward.

It's definitely not a good thing for such a large group of people to gather around and make noise.

Zhu Sining heard the general idea, Fan Chongrong seems to have not practiced bow and arrow for a long time, the aim is not very good, the arrow feathers almost missed the person several times and shot, and the better ones scraped off their hair, and the unlucky ones wiped their faces There was a bloodstain.

After playing for a while, they almost lost their lives. Several Miss Jiao were not happy, and asked Fan Chongrong not to end again, and some asked her to apologize because of the elders in the family.

Fan Chongrong naturally refused, not to mention that her family background is no worse than these people, even in the palace, she is one of the nine concubines, there are only a few who can be over her head, why should she bow her head to a white girl.

"Since you come out to play, you have to be able to afford it. Aren't you okay? What are you crying about?" Meiren Liu shook her fan and rolled her eyes. Of course she wants to defend Fan Chongrong, "Didn't you say it, again?" Didn't do it on purpose, did you shoot crookedly when you practiced before?"

Wang Zhaoyi followed suit: "That's right, you just admit that your skills are not as good as people's. It's meaningful to reason here? Why don't you go home and practice more."

"Ms. Zhaoyi, we just want to ask Mrs. Rongrong not to end again, or else do something else. She... is the one who can't shoot, not us."

"Really?" Wang Zhaoyi recalled Fan Chongrong's heroic appearance, "Why do I think she is very powerful, her posture is good-looking, she is very imposing, and the important thing is that she is very accurate. It is really amazing that she can still shoot at that leaf from such a distance. incredible!"

Wang Zhaoyi simply exerted the ability to pull the side frame to the limit.

Mrs. Gao Ming, whose precious daughters were frightened by Fan Chongrong's arrow, was so angry that her mouth was crooked: "The reason for shooting the leaf is because she missed it!"

Concubine Lu Gui raised her hand, signaled the others to keep quiet, looked at Fan Chongrong, and asked her to explain.

Fan Chongrong lowered his head and plucked the bowstring indifferently: "I didn't miss the shot. I was aiming at that leaf, believe it or not." Threatening your daughter was just incidental.

It would be fine if Fan Chongrong simply admitted that he was poor in archery, and it would be fine if he said a few soft words, but he would refuse to admit it even though he was obviously poor, and then went on stage to continue to scare people.

Concubine Xu Shu held the handkerchief to cover the smile on her lips, her eyebrows were crooked and muddy: "Don't say a few words, it's all a misunderstanding, ladies, don't be angry, it's not a big deal, Fan Chongrong didn't do it on purpose, let her talk more. Practice a few times and you will be able to shoot accurately."

Wang Zhaoyi immediately answered: "Yingying is right! These are all things that need to be practiced. After Fan Chongrong goes on the field and practice a few more rounds, he will be able to shoot accurately."

"Ms. Zhaoyi, didn't you just say that Fan Chongrong's head is very good?"

"Is there?" Wang Zhaoyi thought about it seriously, "I seem to have said it, so what I said is right!"

All the wives and ladies present were choked: "..."

"There is not only one place in this hunting ground where you can practice arrows. You don't have to be crowded together." Concubine Lu Guifei persuaded Fan Chongrong to find a place to contact again and stop being with other people.

Concubine Lu Gui was the one with the highest status present, she said so, and the others had no choice but to give up unwillingly.

"His Royal Highness!" The first girl who turned around and wanted to leave found Zhu Sining, "Why are you here?"

Zhu Sining said truthfully: "I have something to ask the imperial concubine."

"Did your Highness hear just now, we..." A girl boldly asked, "You are the queen, so you have to decide for us."

Concubine Lu's treatment of Zhu Sining felt very good, anyway, Fan Chongrong also promised not to play with them, these people have not played with them yet.

Zhu Sining was very embarrassed, he didn't want to refute Concubine Lu Gui, but these people seemed to think that he was easy to talk, so they turned to besiege him.

"Lu Guifei is right, just do as she said." Zhu Sining just wanted to quickly settle the problem of tonight's accommodation, "Let's go, the weather is so hot, you are all stuck here, don't you feel bad ?”

A girl's eyes were full of tears, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Your Highness, I really hurt..." She was one of the people who was unfortunately scratched by Fan Chongrong, and there was a red mark on her fair cheek.

But the skin is a little bit broken, it will be fine in a few days, Zhu Sining glanced at it, and comforted him: "The imperial doctor will go there later, just apply some medicine and it will be fine, it's not serious, don't cry, it will be fine soon. "

Crying and crying like this, and not being able to speak seriously, Zhu Sining was the first and the second eldest, and was a little flustered.

Chen Cairen, who was not far away, rolled his eyes indiscriminately.

Lu Jieyu and Liu Meiren whispered to each other under the cover of the round fan.

Wang Zhaoyi frowned and tugged at Concubine Xu Shu's clothes: "Yingying, is she seducing His Highness?"

Wang Zhaoyi's voice was neither loud nor small, just enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

Zhu Sining was scared when she heard this, and hurriedly took a few steps back to distance herself from her.He didn't forget that Wai Hunting was, to some extent, Zong Qihao's harem expansion meeting in disguise.

"Ms. Zhaoyi, please don't talk nonsense, my daughter didn't mean that, please show me your Highness!" The little girl knelt on the ground with a bang, Zhu Sining didn't have time to stop her, so she begged Zhu Sining for forgiveness with teary eyes.

Zhu Sining didn't quite understand what she meant: "So what did you do wrong that you want me to forgive?" Didn't it mean that Fan Chongrong's fault, someone who didn't do anything, should be forgiven in a blink of an eye?

This time there was a lot of commotion, and the courtiers who had returned from hunting on the other side also looked over one after another.

What they could see was a delicate and weak girl kneeling on the ground with a pale complexion, as if she was begging Zhu Sining.

Xiao Yiming heard the colleagues beside him whispering a few words, and glanced over there from time to time, feeling bad immediately.

After many contacts, he knew very well what kind of person Zhu Sining was. It was impossible for him to embarrass a little girl for no reason and embarrass her so much.

"Those few seem to be preparing to enter the palace."

"The empress is too domineering, she's just doing this before she enters the palace..."

"After all, he came from the Prince Qin's residence. How could he tolerate others? Now that King Qin has not left the capital, of course he has the confidence. Otherwise, the day lily will be cold when King Qin is gone..."

Xiao Yiming turned around and warned: "Several be careful, boudoirs and harems are not topics that I can chat about."

The gossiping people suddenly woke up, immediately shut their mouths tightly, and thanked Xiao Yiming repeatedly.

Xiao Yiming looked around, but he didn't see Zong Qihao, nor Zhu Xiuyong, he hesitated for a moment, and walked quickly to the vicinity of Zhu Sining.

This drama cannot be allowed to continue, otherwise Zhu Sining's reputation will be ruined without waiting until the next day.

"Your Highness." Xiao Yiming bowed respectfully, and said loudly, "I have something that I don't understand, please Your Highness to explain it to me."

Zhu Sining's attention really shifted to Xiao Yiming: "Master Xiao, what puzzles you?"

Xiao Yiming looked at the girls, smiled lightly and said: "It's a bit inconvenient here, could Your Highness please move?"

Concubine Lu Gui immediately took a step forward: "Go down and get busy, it's good for the concubine to come here."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Zhu Sining followed Xiao Yiming without any doubt.

"Your Highness!" A female voice came from behind Zhu Sining, "Are you trying to cover up Fan Chongrong?"

It was the girl who won the competition.

At this moment, her handsome eyebrows were high, her eyes were shining brightly, coupled with her righteous tone, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Zhu Sining turned around, looked at the little girl and sighed helplessly: "Didn't you just admit your mistake, why did you say that it was Fan Chongrong again? Have you figured out who is the one who suffers and who is at fault?"

The ladies and ladies were all questioned.

A lot of news came out of the palace earlier, some said that the palaces were fighting fiercely, and none of the concubines was good, some said that Zong Qihao himself was not good, and entering the palace was no different from entering a nunnery... All kinds of things, in short, one meaning, if you want to live a good life, don't enter the palace.

However, these are just rumors. Power and wealth will never lack followers, and there will always be people who want to take the risk to find out.

At the beginning of this scene, I just wanted to test the attitudes of the concubines in the palace, but I didn't expect to have more Zhu Sining, don't want it for nothing, at worst, I won't enter the palace.

Seeing this scene, Wang Zhaoyi nodded, and said loudly: "It's changing, you really are here to touch porcelain!"

These words had the special effect of being earth-shattering. After Wang Zhaoyi finished speaking, everyone was quiet.

Xiao Yiming turned his head slightly, and found that many people not far away were secretly observing here. Wang Zhaoyi was helping Zhu Sining, but these ladies and ladies might feel sad in the future.

The heroic girl frowned: "Does Your Highness think that Fan Chongrong is not wrong?"

Zhu Sining didn't like the attitude of the other party very much, as if he was forcing him: "Of course she is wrong, but you are so aggressive, isn't it right?"

Fan Chongrong has a high status, and these little girls are just white, so it is impossible for her to bow her head to them.

No one was particularly seriously injured, and the family behind them in Beijing looked up and down again, and it was the best way for each of them to take a step back and say a few words with a joke.

Liu Meiren raised her round fan to cover the lower half of her face, and whispered to Chen Cairen angrily, "You still question His Highness, she is so crazy before entering the palace, and she will not go to heaven in the future, where does she have the confidence?"

Zhu Sining pretended not to hear.

Whether he can enter the palace or not is up to him.The previous preparations were just for the future plot. Now the plot is a bit tortuous. Before he sorts it out, it is not appropriate to make too many changes.

"Speak logically, and don't think that what you say is what you say. It is easy to cause misunderstandings if you admit your mistakes indiscriminately, and it is not good for anyone." Zhu Sining said slowly, "Get up, don't talk about touching porcelain or not touching porcelain. , obviously they are all little fairies, it would not be ugly to blush over such a trivial matter."

It was the first time for the little girls to hear this description: "Little... little fairy?"

"Yes, get up quickly, don't kneel down, or you will be a dwarf."

Zhu Sining waved his hands and walked to another place with Xiao Yiming.

"Master Xiao is looking for me for something?"

"It was there before, but it's gone now." Xiao Yiming originally wanted to take the person away first, but he didn't expect the situation to change in the blink of an eye.

It has been resolved smoothly, Xiao Yiming still couldn't help admonishing a few more words: "Your Highness is too big-hearted, you should be more careful in the future."

Zhu Si Ning thanked: "No matter what, I still want to thank Mr. Xiao, I have a heart."

"Your Highness, you are welcome. Your Highness helped me before, and I haven't thanked him properly yet," Xiao Yiming said with a light smile, "I also hunted for some food today. I don't know if Your Highness is free tonight. Can you show me your face?"

"Would you like to eat?" Zhu Sining still couldn't forget the food at Xiao Yiming's family, and this meal was just an opportunity to ask how far Xiao Yiming and Zong Qihao's relationship had progressed.

"Master Xiao treats guests, it must be free!"

Seeing the hope of completing the task, Zhu Sining's spirits were lifted: "Master Xiao, please wait a moment, I still have some chores to deal with, and I will go there after I finish."

Xiao Yiming saluted respectfully: "My humble minister is waiting for His Highness to visit you."

=========

As soon as the farce ended, the concubines in the harem resumed their old life. They searched for the joy of life by themselves, playing cards and mahjong. Lu Jieyu even brought painting tools, laid out paper and started splashing ink.

It's just that the ladies and wives who touched porcelain just now were not as active as before, and they left soon.

Zhu Sining found Concubine Lu Gui and made her request.

"Your Highness wants to move to your dead son's place?" Concubine Lu Gui asked, "But what's inconvenient about being at His Majesty's side?"

"...No inconvenience." Zhu Sining couldn't think of a reason, "I just want to live with my brother. Didn't you say that I couldn't find a suitable place to set up a tent for me? The bedding and other things prepared before hunting, Always there, right?"

"Not here, your Highness is late." Concubine Lu Gui said calmly, "It has been sent to His Majesty just now, and there are still many things to be busy with my concubine. If Your Highness wants to move, you have to go there by yourself."

Zhu Sining: "Why... so fast?"

Chen Cairen said in a soft voice: "If His Highness wants to use it, naturally it should be delivered early."

Zhu Sining: "I didn't have it last night, I didn't use it."

Lu Jieyu quickly picked it up: "So I have already sent someone to send it over."

Zhu Sining doubted: "Really?"

Concubine Lu Gui made up the last cut: "Really, His Majesty just sent someone to say it."

"Your Majesty?" Zhu Sining was startled.

"Your Highness!" Wang Zhaoyi interrupted Zhu Sining's thoughts suddenly, she raised her chin and asked, "The little girls who have not left the cabinet are little fairies, so what are we?"

It's coming, it's coming, Wang Zhaoyi's refusal to admit defeat is late but it will never come.

Before Zhu Sining could answer, Meiren Liu interjected: "Speaking of which, we are all shorter than Your Highness..."

Fan Chongrong immediately said: "The seven dwarfs are just right."

Zhu Sining: "..."

The seven concubines all set their sights on Zhu Sining.

"No, what dwarf?!" Zhu Sining wiped the sweat off his brow, "It's obviously the Seventh Fairy!"

"Seven Fairies, it sounds interesting." Liu Meiren raised her round fan to cover her face, and rolled her eyes, "I heard what His Majesty means, so you won't be sleeping with His Majesty tonight?"

Chen Cairen asked: "Could it be that there was a conflict? Or did His Majesty do something wrong, and His Majesty was angry?"

Fan Chongrong immediately said: "It must be because of the draft, Your Highness eats... ummmm..."

Fan Chongrong couldn't finish his sentence this time, so his mouth was covered by other concubines.

Concubine Lu Gui and Concubine Xu Shu quickly reacted and bowed forward: "Your Majesty."

Zong Qihao was standing not far away, staring at Zhu Sining motionlessly.
