Self-cultivation after the cannon fodder

Put away the booklet, Zhu Sining is ready to go to bed.

Without Zong Qihao, Zhu Sining needed the help of the palace servants to complete many things.

Back on the bed and waiting for the servants to put his clothes away, Zhu Sining looked at the bright candles in the hall and ordered: "Turn out the lights."

If Zong Qihao didn't come, leaving so many lights was just a waste.

"Your Highness, are you not waiting for His Majesty?" A palace official asked.

Zhu Sining shook his head: "No."

He will not come.

Zong Qihao is a diligent emperor. If it is an urgent matter, it will be dealt with quickly on the same day, and it will not wait too long. If it is not important, it will generally not be delayed too long. There are very few pending matters left every day. No need for him to go back and deal with it so late.

The palace people in the Jiaofang hall turned off the lights as promised, because they were worried that Zhu Sining would be inconvenient to move and could not be called in case of urgent matters at night, so they assigned more people to watch the night outside the hall.

When Zong Qihao arrived, he saw a dark and quiet palace.

The palace servant at the door stood solemnly, saw him appearing suddenly, saluted and opened the palace door hesitantly: "Your Highness has already fallen asleep, please move more lightly, Your Majesty."

"Sleeping?" Zong Qihao paused and looked towards the dark bedroom.

There wasn't a single light inside.

Zong Qihao was very annoyed, and worried about Zhu Sining who had already fallen asleep, he suppressed his anger and asked, "Why don't you light the lamp?" Zhu Sining was afraid of the dark, and now he couldn't walk anymore, so it would be too dangerous not to light the lamp.

The palace man bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty is not here, so His Highness said there is no need to order."

Zong Qihao asked softly: "Empress...doesn't the lamp be turned on when sleeping alone?" He remembered that Zhu Sining once said that he was afraid of the dark.

The palace man shook his head: "No order, His Highness won't call anyone when he wakes up at night."

"Okay, just keep watch outside." Zong Qihao walked lightly into the bedroom in the dark.

On a windless night, the moonlight faintly streamed into the open space by the window through the gauze curtain, and there was no sound in the bedroom. Zong Qihao could only see the dark shadows of the furniture.

He was already very familiar with the furnishings in the dormitory, and Zong Qihao could walk around the tables and chairs and walk to the bed silently without lighting the lamps.

The veil fell down, covering Zhu Sining's figure.

Zong Qihao suddenly felt timid.

It's so late, will he rush over and disturb Zhu Sining who is already asleep?

Not even daring to breathe too loudly, Zong Qihao was hesitant, he still couldn't let go of his worries, and wanted to take a look at Zhu Sining before leaving.

Zhu Sining was always very good when he was sleeping, so he just checked and left.

Zong Qihao lifted the gauze curtain, and was caught off guard by a pair of clear eyes.

"Aning?!"

He took a few steps back, but fortunately he caught him in time, so Zong Qihao didn't fall to the ground.

Zhu Sining was in the tent, with his eyes open and not sleeping.

Zong Qihao took a few deep breaths before calming down: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"Can't sleep."

As soon as Zhu Sining turned over, he felt that there was a missing one next to him. He didn't move much when sleeping, and didn't take up space. The bed was so big that it was strange that he was sleeping alone.

"Are you waiting for me?" Zong Qihao wanted to laugh and wanted to hit Zhu Sining, because he really scared him just now.She thought that Zhu Sining had already gone to sleep, but she had been waiting for him on the bed with her eyes open.

Zhu Sining nodded honestly: "I want to see how long you have to stand, maybe if you stand for a while, I will feel sleepy."

Zong Qihao: "..."

Zhu Sining couldn't fall asleep, probably because of the fear in his heart that he himself hadn't noticed.

Zong Qihao stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the lock of hair on Zhu Sining's head.

Zhu Sining tilted his head, avoided it, stared at Zong Qihao and did not speak.

Zong Qihao smiled, and read the meaning in Zhu Sining's eyes: "Okay, don't touch, go to sleep."

"Why did His Majesty come back suddenly?" Zhu Sining finally asked.

Originally, he thought that Zong Qihao just left when he left, but he actually came back to look for him in the dark.

Zhu Sining tentatively asked, "Did Your Majesty... drop something?"

"Dropped something?" Zong Qihao hooked the corners of his lips, and the so-called thought of just looking at it and leaving at this moment all dissipated, "It's a dropped thing."

Aning, who left him behind.

Zong Qihao took off his coat in the dark and went to bed, and pressed the quilt for Zhu Sining.

Zhu Sining remained still the whole time, just watching like this, in fact he couldn't move either.

Now no one would do this for him, not even Zhu Xiuyong, only Zong Qihao.

"Okay." Zong Qihao pressed the last corner of the quilt, and finally put Zhu Sining's exposed hands into the quilt.

Zhu Sining blinked: "You can't touch hands."

"Then you let it go." Zong Qihao didn't force it.

Seeing Zhu Sining put his hand in, only showing a hairy head to see the cute appearance of the person, Zong Qihao softened in his heart, leaned over and kissed Zhu Sining's forehead: "Good night, have a good dream, Aning."

"Ah..." Zhu Sining was momentarily stunned.

After Zong Qihao finished all this, he lay down and slept as usual, leaving only Zhu Sining staring at him, watching the red blood bar on the system interface suddenly drop by 50.00%, to only [-]%[-].

Although the purple quest bar has also gone 50.00%, reaching [-]% [-], but the reduction rate of the red blood bar is much faster than the quest bar, okay?

Emperor Mingzong Qihao's hand didn't touch him too much, why did the red blood bar drop so much all of a sudden? !This is obviously just an ordinary good night kiss!

Maybe he needs to re-determine the conditions for reducing the red blood bar.

Zhu Sining secretly glanced at Zong Qihao, he had already closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.

Good opportunity, do you want to give it a try?

Zhu Sining straightened up from under the quilt slowly, slowly straightened up and leaned towards Zong Qihao.

Sword eyebrows are straight and bushy, under the tightly closed eyelashes there are a pair of sharp and often smiling eyes, and the face is well-defined, with a handsome and noble appearance.

Since Zong Qihao gave him a goodnight kiss, it's normal for him to return one, right?He also seems to be very polite!

Zhu Sining pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind.In any case, his life is of the utmost importance, and it is quite a good deal for him to pay three percentage points to test it out.

Always pay attention to the red blood bar, Zhu Sining lowered his head and put his lips on Zong Qihao's forehead.

In an instant, the red blood bar dropped by 50.00%, leaving only [-]% one.

It's actually double, what a big loss!

Zhu Sining stared at the system interface, his heart ached so badly that he couldn't breathe, what kind of calculation method is this? !

Not scientific at all!

The blow was too great, Zhu Sining closed his eyes in a daze, just wanting to kill the self who thought it was a good deal before.

Zong Qihao on one side moved his eyelashes, but he still didn't open his eyes in the end.

It's just that the hands on both sides tightly grasped the nearby quilt in the palm of their hand and kneaded it into a ball.

=======

When I woke up in the morning, Zong Qihao was no longer there.

Zhu Sining sat on the bed, felt the temperature of the mattress, and before he could speak, the palace man next to him said: "Your Majesty has gone to court, it's not that he doesn't want to stay and accompany His Highness."

Zhu Sining glanced at her: "How do you know what I want to ask?"

"Guess."

Zhu Sining let out a sigh, and lay back on the bed: "I know His Majesty has gone to court."

After sleeping in the same bed for so long, Zhu Sining has long since figured out Zong Qihao's routine of going to court and resting. He even knows when Zong Qihao left. He just...

just what?

Zhu Sining thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of the answer.

His feet are weak and need someone to support him wherever he goes, and Zhu Sining doesn't like to move anymore, but last time he walked in a hurry and forgot to find the new book he liked after returning the book to the library.

After spending the morning playing chess with myself, when Concubine Lu Gui came in the afternoon, Zhu Sining was finally not so boring.

"Your Highness's leg..." Concubine Lu Gui sat for less than a quarter of an hour before realizing that Zhu Sining hadn't moved a single bit of her lower body.

Zhu Sining took a sip of tea, and casually flipped through a page of the ledger: "I fell and got hurt."

"But announced the imperial doctor?"

"Announced."

Lu Guifei continued to ask: "What did the imperial doctor say?"

"I don't know." Zhu Sining recalled the dignified appearance of the court judge and refused to let him know the results of the diagnosis and treatment, so he guessed casually, "Maybe he needs to use a wheelchair."

Concubine Lu Gui was taken aback: "It's so serious!"

Zhu Sining glanced at her.

Realizing her impoliteness, Concubine Lu immediately covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "This...is this still okay? Your Highness is injured like this, what does Your Majesty say?"

Zhu Sining replied: "I didn't say anything, I left that night." Although he slipped back in the middle of the night.

"Leave?" Concubine Lu Gui almost bit her finger, "Don't you care about Your Highness? No matter how you say it, you should do something..."

Zhu Sining wondered: "What are you doing? He doesn't know how to see a doctor."

Lu Guifei: "..."

I can't talk today.

Concubine Lu Guifei thought for a while, since Zong Qihao didn't care about him, even though Zhu Sining put on an indifferent appearance, she was inevitably lonely, so she had to find someone and do something else.

"Your Highness, why don't you find some concubines to play cards with you?" Concubine Lu Gui still has palace affairs to deal with and cannot stay for long.

Zhu Sining responded dispensably: "It's all good."

Concubine Lu Gui was blessed, she stepped back and found a few palace servants to deliver the order.

Zhu Sining closed the account book and asked, "Are you all called here to play?"

There are only so few concubines in the palace, and it doesn't matter if there are more.

Concubine Lu Gui shook her head: "I only called Lu Jieyu and Chen Cairen." She observed Zhu Sining's expression, she seemed not very interested, and thought about adding another person: "How about adding Fan Chongrong?"

System: [The stability of the harem is a major issue for the country. If the emperor's family is not peaceful, how can the world be pacified?Users are asked to solve the troubles of the concubines in the harem. In view of the difficulty this time, the rewards for completing the task will be doubled. 】

Zhu Sining called the names directly: "Let's call Liu Meiren again. She has the most interesting conversation, and she is very popular. She can play with anyone. With her, the atmosphere can be much more lively."

Concubine Lu Gui didn't reply immediately, Zhu Sining asked: "What's wrong? But what's wrong with Beauty Liu?"

Lu Guifei showed hesitation: "Your Highness, please wait a moment, and this concubine will call for someone. But if Liu Meiren can't come, please don't blame Your Highness."

"It's okay, come if you want, don't come if you don't want, it's not a big deal." Zhu Sining returned the account book to Concubine Lu Gui, and let her go to work first.

While rubbing his calf, Zhu Sining read the topic carefully again.

Now the plot has run wild like a wild horse, and it has reached the middle and late stages of the original plot so quickly.

——Xiao Yiming and Liu Meiren's family business conflicts, which will eventually lead to the bankruptcy of Liu Meiren's family. Although they will not enter abject poverty, but for a large family, it is definitely a huge blow for the family to lower their expenses by several levels .

Don't dare to go to friends' gatherings, care about buying things, eat and wear inferior to others, and can't hold up your head when you go out. Over time, social connections will be affected.

Liu Meiren relies on her family's subsidy. Although she spends a lot of money, her expenses have always been within the allowance, and in the account book just now, Liu Meiren has exceeded the limit.

Zhu Sining waited for a while, Fan Chongrong arrived first, followed by Wang Zhaoyi and Concubine Xu Shu.

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Zhaoyi began to complain: "The concubine knew that Lu Guifei really didn't like me. His Highness said to play cards with everyone, but everyone else called, and we were left behind!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became: "Concubine Lu Gui must want to exclude us! Your Highness, you must not be fooled by her!"

In this palace, Wang Zhaoyi is probably the only one who is serious and active in unilateral palace fighting with Concubine Lu Gui.

Zhu Sining glanced at Concubine Xu Shu, who was dragged over by Wang Zhaoyi, and said, "Didn't she ask you to come, but she just didn't want you to lose money?"

"How could I lose?" Wang Zhaoyi was extremely dissatisfied, "I still lost to Lu Qingyan?!"

Zhu Sining: "..." Don't bring your personal military advisor, Concubine Xu Shu, if you can.

Seeing that Wang Zhaoyi wanted to have a real duel with Concubine Lu Gui immediately, Zhu Sining hurriedly said: "Concubine Lu Gui has already left, she still has other things to do."

Wang Zhaoyi won without a fight, and she was very proud: "She was really scared, otherwise she wouldn't have left as soon as she heard me coming! She was really scared!"

Zhu Sining: "..."

She didn't even know you were coming.

Concubine Xu Shu looked away silently, as if she didn't hear this.

Liu Meiren didn't come, and Lu Jieyu and Chen Cairen didn't even come.

Playing cards with Wang Zhaoyi, Zhu Sining was still a little scared, after all, she played cards regardless of enemy or friend.

Fan Chongrong also felt this way, and both of them looked at Concubine Xu Shu together.

"It would be great if His Highness could play mahjong." Concubine Xu Shu smiled and called Wang Zhaoyi to sit beside her. "Mianmian should sit next to me and give me advice."

"Okay." Wang Zhaoyi responded immediately.

He took a few plates of small pastries and sat down beside Concubine Xu Shu, and brought her tea and food.

Zhu Sining took a few glances, divided the cards into two parts and began to shuffle them. The sound of papa was his heartfelt applause full of admiration for Concubine Xu Shu.

——Sure enough, only Concubine Xu Shu can handle Wang Zhaoyi.

Facing the adoring gazes of other people present, Xu Shufei's almond-shaped eyes were bent, and she started the topic of beauty and skin care.

Zhu Si Ning had no right to speak on this topic, so he had to be a dealer in silence, and then play the cards seriously and try to win.

After Zhu Sining won several rounds in a row, Fan Chongrong calculated the amount of money he had left, and tried to pull Zhu Sining to join the group chat to divert attention: "I don't know what your highness usually uses? Your highness's skin looks very ugly." Well, I must pay more attention to maintenance at ordinary times, I don’t know if I use the peach blossom honey face cream or motherwort Baiying body lotion?”

Zhu Sining: "...What are you talking about?" He didn't understand anything.

Wang Zhaoyi rolled her eyes: "Idiot, how could His Highness use these cheap products? He must be using rose red jade ointment or refined zero vanilla essential oil, or pearl jade skin cream!"

Zhu Sining: "..." Sorry, I still don't understand.

Putting down the last card in his hand, Zhu Sining finally had something to say: "I won, everyone should start paying the money."

Fan Chongrong was reluctant to part with the money: "I spent a little too much this month. I wanted to get some compensation from His Highness, or I could ask for some from other people. Now I feel that I can't even use the cheapest shellfish cream. gone."

Wang Zhaoyi was particularly proud to show off: "I think that when Yingying and I first entered the palace, we often spent nothing on our low status. Yingying is good at making skin care products for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't even think about it." I've met someone."

Concubine Xu Shu is proficient in pharmacology and is good at making plasters, which caused Xiao Yiming a lot of trouble in the original book.

I didn't expect to make handmade skin care products.

But it’s true, according to Wang Zhaoyi’s half-assed embroidery talent, who was boasted all over the capital by his family and then thrown into the palace. With a bit of skill, I really can't bear her temperament of being able to make enemies wherever she goes.

It's just that Zhu Sining didn't realize that Fan Chongrong would also be short of money, so while shuffling the cards, he asked, "Where did you spend the money? Are there not enough copies?"

He didn't see from the books that Fan Chongrong was short of money, and she didn't like to pursue the best food and clothing, so why did she have extra expenses, which seemed to be a lot?

"Ah... this, this..."

Fan Chongrong hesitated for a long time. When he looked up and saw Zong Qihao, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and asked loudly, "Your Majesty is here too? It's been a long time. Would you like to play Fight the Landlord together? Your Highness has just shuffled the cards and hasn't started dealing the cards yet." What! The concubine can give up the position to His Majesty!"

The cards in Zhu Sining's hand, who rarely made mistakes, were scattered again.

Ruined!

The name Doudizhu is so clear. Is it possible that there is no king in the world? Zong Qihao is the largest landlord in the country, and behind him is the father of King Qin who holds the military power. Doudizhu or something...

Bai Mi finally had a sparse, he brought Zong Qihao to play cards together, because the two could not make up the number of people, so he never introduced Doudizhu, and then Doudizhu spread directly in the harem, fortunately, other concubines and Zong Qihao Hao didn't know him very well, so he didn't poke Zong Qihao in front of him.

It was Zhu Sining who brought up the cards, and he taught all the playing methods.

As a cannon fodder, he is not cool.

There is no need for the protagonist to act personally, Zong Qihao's harem may be led by him, the cannon fodder queen, to the end of complete annihilation.
