Self-cultivation after the cannon fodder

As an emperor and a wise emperor, Zong Qihao is definitely a character who can be both gentle and martial.

Without any precautions, Zhu Sining was suppressed by Zong Qihao before he had time to react.

Zhu Sining carefully raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Get up and drink some water."

Zong Qihao stared at him quietly for a while, then let go: "Go."

It was a cold spring night, and the charcoal stove in the hall was not completely extinguished, and a kettle was placed on the fire to keep warm, and the water in it could be drunk at any time.

Zhu Sining poured himself a cup of hot water and drank it slowly. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zong Qihao's figure inside the gauze tent, sitting and not lying down.

The emperor is a high-risk occupation. According to statistics by scholars, the killing rate of emperors in all dynasties is as high as 30.00%. Even if this is a novel, the protagonist is destined to live a long life. Zhu Sining is not too dissatisfied with Zong Qihao's vigilance.

Although there are minor problems of one kind or another, in general, Zong Qihao is still a good emperor.

After all, the other party had saved him.

On the night of the wedding, he was first pushed down by Zong Qihao, and it took him a long time to find the correct way to walk so that he would not fall because he stepped on the hem of his clothes. No matter which belt, it feels like the waist and abdomen are getting tighter and tighter, and it has the tendency to strangle him to death.

It was Zong Qihao who extended a helping hand in time, so that he died in a strange posture without starting the game.

After drinking the water, Zhu Sining felt a little sleepy again, opened the gauze curtain, and Zong Qihao took a book from the bed and was flipping through it.

"It's still early before dawn, Your Majesty should go to bed early, and he will go to court early tomorrow."

Zong Qihao: "I can't sleep."

Zhu Sining passed him and returned to the bed, before he could put on the quilt, he said, "Then do you want some hot water?"

Zong Qihao was silent for a moment: "...Only water?"

There was no milk, so I had to replace it with hot water, and Zhu Sining couldn't think of anything else: "You can sleep after drinking it, do you want it? I'll pour it for you."

"……want."

Zhu Sining walked over Zong Qihao again and got out of bed, found a new cup, filled it with water and took it back to the bedside: "Your Majesty can put it by the bedside after drinking, and the palace staff will clean it up during the day."

After handing him the water, he didn't go to bed immediately, but went to the corner, took the torch and lit the other lamps.

Climbing back on the bed again, Zhu Sining put the quilt on her body neatly, and lay down after making sure that there were no gaps for air leakage.

The surrounding area was obviously much brighter, and Zong Qihao's Adam's apple twitched: "What are you doing with the lights on? I don't read anymore."

Zhu Sining said vaguely, "Let them light up."

"Extinguish the candles to prevent fire. It's so bright that someone has to watch." Zong Qihao frowned, the palace guards were only on duty outside the bedroom, and there were a lot of flammable materials in the hall. , if not detected in time, the people inside are very dangerous.

"It's better to be on... I'm afraid of the dark." Zhu Sining yawned and fell into a deep sleep.

Zong Qihao didn't speak any more, and put down the glass gently after drinking the water.The hall is bright and quiet.Candlelight fell on the two of them through the hazy and soft gauze, drawing them into light gray silhouettes.

I don't know if Zhu Sining was right, Zong Qihao felt drowsy after drinking the water, but he didn't want to fall asleep so soon.

=====

On the fifth watch, Jiang Wei arrived outside the Jiaofang Hall on time.

Kicking the dozing little eunuch, Jiang Wei raised his chin to signal him to look at the brightly lit dormitory: "Is the light inside always on?"

The little eunuch scratched his head: "Last night when the aunts left, the lights were off, leaving only a few lights in the corner for lighting, but there were some noises inside in the middle of the night, and then these lights were turned on."

Jiang Wei wondered: "Really?"

Zong Qihao is not an extravagant monarch. Although there are all kinds of rumors about the queen, but after entering the palace, she is completely in accordance with the rules, and there are often leftovers. It is not in line with the style of the two to turn on so many lights in the middle of the night. .

The little eunuch lowered his head and muttered: "There is no summons inside, so I can't go in and have a look..."

Jiang Wei glared at him fiercely, told a few young eunuchs behind to get things ready, swept the dust away, and led them into the bedroom with light steps.

"Your Majesty, it's five o'clock."

Jiang Wei woke up Zong Qihao softly: "It's time to go to court early."

After a good night's sleep, Zong Qihao was a little reluctant to leave the warm bed, and turned his head to see Zhu Sining next door who was sleeping without feeling anything.He slept on his side with his face pressed down, facing Zong Qihao.

It was still daylight and he had to get up early to go to court. Compared with Zhu Sining who could sleep until he woke up naturally, Zong Qihao couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Jiang Wei came forward: "Your Majesty..."

Zong Qihao signaled Jiang Wei to keep quiet, and led a group of palace officials away from Zhu Sining. After washing up, he changed into Jinlonggun clothes, and used some simple food mats for his stomach.

Looking up at the sky, Zong Qihao called to Jiang Wei: "Don't put on a parade of honor."

"Your Majesty?" Jiang Wei reckoned that the time would be about the same. Seeing Zong Qihao walk to the door and then turn back, "Did you leave something behind? Just go back and get it."

He hastily followed, and Zong Qihao had already returned to the dormitory and peeked into the gauze tent.

Grabbing the fleshy cheeks, Zong Qihao realized his wish to miss him all night. Zong Qihao was satisfied to see that Zhu Sining finally woke up in a daze, and he was in a good mood: "Zi Tong, I'm going to go to court early."

"what……"

Zhu Sining sat up in a daze, unfocused.

His hair was hanging down in a mess, and his eyes couldn't be opened. Zhu Sining's eyebrows crossed and fought together, and he could barely see the person in front of him: "Good morning, Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

Sure enough, pinching was more comfortable than pressing, and he reluctantly put down his cheeks, which felt quite good. Zong Qihao smiled and said, "I still have a morning, Zitong will sleep again."

"Okay..." Zhu Sining nodded, not understanding the meaning of the other party calling him up, he curled up in a ball under the quilt, resisting the urge to yawn.

"Then...slowly walk or not?"

"it is good."

Zong Qihao stretched out his hands to straighten his hair, pushed him into the quilt, and walked out of the gauze curtain after doing this.

"Huh?" Zong Qihao squinted at Jiang Wei who hurriedly followed into the bedroom.

Zong Qihao, who is dressed in a golden dragon uniform, has dark pupils, high brow bones, long eyebrows like swords, a straight nose, and deep and three-dimensional facial features.

After discovering that the emperor returned to molest the queen, Jiang Wei wished he could be transparent.

He immediately lowered his head: "This servant is blind."

"never mind."

Zong Qihao let out a chuckle from his throat, and walked out of the bedroom first.

Zhu Sining slept until the sun was three poles before waking up naturally.

Lying on the bed and looking at the carved dragon and phoenix on the top of the bed, he was dazed for a while, and then slowly got up from the bed to wash.

Sleeping until she wakes up naturally every day, opening her mouth and stretching out her hands when eating, this is the life of Zhu Sining's ancient queen.

After Zhu Sining got up, other palace talents came in one after another to do the daily cleaning work.

Seeing several palace people turn off the lamps that had been on all night and add oil and charcoal to the fire, Zhu Sining thought for a while and ordered: "From now on, your Majesty will come to spend the night, so there is no need to turn off all the lights."

On the second day of the wedding, none of the lights in the main hall were turned off, and Zong Qihao couldn't sleep well even after the lights were turned off. It was obvious that he was afraid of the dark and embarrassed to say so.

Zhu Sining didn't have the rule of asking concubines to greet him, other concubines and him were lukewarm, only Concubine Lu would come to report on time on time.

Yes, report to work.

As for how to manage the harem, Zhu Sining didn't have too many ideas. What happened in the past is what will happen in the future. Since Concubine Lu Gui has experience, she will continue to be the general manager. He only needs to sign the contract after confirming that there is no problem.

Knowing Zhu Sining's habit, Concubine Lu usually only comes in the afternoon.

"This is the record of the warehouse entry and exit last month," Concubine Lu Gui handed in the account book. "The distribution is based on the previous amount, but Qingning Palace asked for an extra catty of spring tea, two packs of embroidery needles, three Patchwork, ten bundles of embroidery thread, and two new frames for embroidery.”

Zhu Sining: "Embroidered flowers and tea, that's pretty good, if you want them at Qingning Palace, give them."

Concubine Xu Shu and Wang Zhaoyi lived in the Qingning Palace. Before entering the palace, the two were good girlfriends. After entering the palace, the two lived together.

Concubine Lu Gui paused, and said: "The ten bundles of embroidery threads include one bundle of gold thread and two bundles of silver thread. This... If they are just doing embroidery for fun, they can't give it to them."

Zhu Sining: "Go back and ask them what color they like, just change it."

"Yes." Lu Guifei accepted the order.

"Why do you feel that the imperial concubine is a little absent-minded today? Is it because you are too busy and tired?"

Zhu Sining took the refreshments brought by the palace servants, and pushed them in front of Concubine Lu Gui: "Would you like to try the new dim sum from the imperial dining room, I think it's a bit sweet, but it's quite delicious, you girls should give it a try." Quite like it."

Concubine Lu Gui stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

"You don't have to be so polite, it's just a snack." Zhu Sining waved his hand and took another tea to drink.

The flower hall is semi-outdoor, Zhu Sining and Concubine Lu are sitting under the eaves on the other side, facing several flower beds full of flowers.

The afternoon sun in spring is just right, fine dust is floating in the air, and occasionally a few bold sparrows land, take a few steps cautiously, and then fly quickly.

This lazy and comfortable afternoon is Zhu Sining's dream retirement life.

Seeing that Concubine Lu Gui had thanked her, she had been eating snacks, Zhu Sining couldn't help feeling a little toothache, this snack was really sweet, he couldn't bear it after eating a few pieces.

"You can also drink some tea, too much sweetness will make you tired." Zhu Sining reminded, "If you like it, you can take the rest back later."

Zhu Sining always felt that Concubine Lu Gui was too cautious.

Every time after reporting on work, he would leave without even daring to drink more water. Now he invites him to have a snack, and he just eats whichever one he says is good, and he doesn't know how to change it.

He looks like a domineering president who can only sign, but he is actually just a high-level wage earner. The real big devil should be the chairman Zong Qihao.

At most, the palace people would only tell a few jokes with Zhu Sining, but they would not think about sitting down to drink tea and chat together, Zhu Sining would inevitably be a little bored by himself.

We are all colleagues at any rate, and it's okay to have a tea party occasionally or play cards and play Shuo-ha.

He can teach if he can't, and he can guarantee that he will teach and teach, and he will be fooled.

Most of the concubines in the harem are from aristocratic families, and there are only a few elders in the family who do not have official positions, and Concubine Lu Gui is one of them.Her father came from a poor family, but he was a doctor in the fifth-rank household department. Compared with other concubines, her daughter was favored by Zong Qihao, and she was promoted all the way to the noble concubine.

The harem is just Zong Qihao's decoration, everyone is idle people who occupy the harem establishment and do not work just to eat, except for the level of status, everything else is the same, but maybe Lu Guifei is the reason for being in the manager , seems to always be alone, and there is no good concubine.

System: [In order to enrich the life of the harem and meet the spiritual and cultural needs of the supporting roles, users are now required to exert their subjective initiative to develop entertainment activities suitable for the harem concubines, to promote harmonious communication between concubines, and to improve happiness. 】

It's an open question.

Zhu Sining glanced at Concubine Lu Gui who was drinking tea in small sips, and asked, "Is the concubine interested in having a tea party? It's the kind where everyone sits down to drink tea, chat and play games."

——It's time to start a group building to promote the emotional communication between concubines and concubines in the harem and build a harmonious harem.
