Self-cultivation after the cannon fodder

Zong Qihao did what he said, picked up Zhu Sining and left.

"Looking at the stars, where do you want to look?" Zhu Sining just turned his head, and the scenery behind him began to reverse.

"Wait...wait a minute!" Zhu Sining pulled Zong Qihao back, "You need to bring some other tools to watch the stars."

Zong Qihao stopped in his tracks.

"That chicken!" Zhu Sining directed the palace staff to wrap up the leftover lotus leaf broiler chicken, "add some wine or tea, it will be interesting to eat while watching!"

Zong Qihao's full of melancholy was completely destroyed by Zhu Sining, watching him amusedly asking the palace servants to bring all kinds of things.

"Eating can help you see the stars clearly?" Zong Qihao touched the lock of hair on Zhu Sining's head, but stopped saying that he would not eat it.

As the sky gradually turned dark, a few palace people walked ahead of the two holding lamps, Jiang Wei stood aside to protect them, and the rest of the palace people pushed wheelchairs behind.

Zong Qihao ran all the way to Lanyue Tower, it would be night without wind, but Zhu Sining could hear the wind in his ears.

There was also Zong Qihao's subtle and clear panting sound.

"Stop hugging, I want to carry." Zhu Sining was a little worried. When he looked at Lanyue Tower from a distance, he only felt that it was majestic and towering. Now that he was standing below, there was only oppression left.

Even the housekeepers in charge of cleaning would be exhausted to climb up. Even Zong Qihao usually pays attention to exercise, but with Zhu Sining added, it will still take a lot of energy to go up.

"I want to see the road ahead."

Zhu Sining struggled to get down, but Zong Qihao had no choice but to change his position: "Then don't move around, or we will both fall down."

Zhu Sining responded and asked, "What's it like inside Lanyue Building?"

"It's just an ordinary high-rise building. The stairs are very long, and the floors lead directly to the top." Zong Qihao only knew that Lanyue Building was very tall, and he really didn't pay attention to what was inside.

"This is nonsense." Zhu Sining pointed forward, "Chong Chong Chong, it's already dark, I want to look at the stars."

When they reached the ninth floor, the palace guards leading the way couldn't bear it anymore and began to pant, almost parallel to the two of them. Jiang Wei and the palace guards behind them fell one floor behind, unable to catch up with their backs.

"Otherwise, let's take a break." Zhu Sining didn't dare to exert too much pressure on Zong Qihao, "Will you drink some water, I'll let people... stay behind and wait for them to come up."

"No, hurry up."

Zong Qihao grabbed Zhu Sining's hand and put it around his neck: "If you can't hold it tight, I can't stand still, then it will be dangerous."

There are lamps and candles beside the stairs of Lanyue Tower, and it is not entirely necessary to rely on the lantern bearers for lighting. Zong Qihao quickened his pace and passed them: "Go slowly,"

"Your Majesty, you are amazing."

Zhu Sining hadn't heard Zong Qihao's panting yet.

"I said it's okay to carry you halfway to the palace."

"Nonsense, what you said at the beginning is that if you really carry me halfway to the palace, you don't want it, just throw me away."

Zong Qihao laughed out loud: "Are you so vengeful?"

Zhu Sining snorted and said, "It's not really a grudge, but it's in my heart."

"It's not like that."

Zong Qihao stopped, leaned on the railing and looked outside.

As night fell, the entire imperial palace was shrouded in darkness. The front court was pitch black, occasionally a few orange-red light spots flashed, probably from the patrolling palace guards, and several palaces in the harem were lit up with lights.

"The brightest one is Liu Meiren's palace. It's super beautiful and immortal." Zhu Sining pointed, "It's there."

Zong Qihao responded, and his eyes fell on another palace with faint light.

Although Zhu Sining did not go back, the palace staff of Jiaofang Palace were still ready and waiting for Zhu Sining to go back.

"Let's go." Zong Qihao continued to walk up, "Does Ah Ning know what day it is today?"

"What day?" Zhu Sining tentatively replied, "The day when you won't be in the morning court?"

Zong Qihao: "..." Forget it, he shouldn't have such expectations of Zhu Sining.

Zhu Sining did the calculations by himself, and made sure once again: "It's not the morning court today, it's Hugh Mu."

"Not this kind of day."

Zong Qihao couldn't help but stop, he wasn't too tired, but he was about to be pissed off by Zhu Sining.

He put Zhu Sining on the steps and sat down, while he half supported the railing of the stairs and walked slowly.

"So what day is today?"

The lighting range of the lighting in the stairwell is limited and can only illuminate a small area. The first quarter moon hangs high in the black night sky, and the moonlight is thin.In the unclear stairwell, when Zhu Sining raised his eyes, he saw Zong Qihao's eyes shining with lights, hot and bright.

Zong Qihao waved his hand, but did not answer.

"It seems that we are almost on the top floor." Guessing that Zong Qihao was tired, Zhu Sining didn't ask any more, "Let's take a break first and then climb up in one breath."

Zong Qihao made a brief estimate: "It's almost here, there are still four or five floors."

"If you are tired, Your Majesty should not talk much, wait for the palace servants to come up and drink some water."

Zhu Sining looked down, and the palace servants were thrown down so many floors that they couldn't even hear their voices.

Zong Qihao didn't expect those palace people to catch up, he felt that it was almost done, he picked up Zhu Sining, quickened his pace and rushed directly to the top floor.

Putting down Zhu Sining, Zong Qihao sat down and leaned on him with most of his body.

Zhu Sining did not push away.

After strenuous exercise, Zong Qihao's body was scorching hot, which was transmitted to Zhu Sining through his clothes.

Finally, a cool night breeze blew on the top floor. Zhu Sining raised his head and saw a silver chain spreading in the night sky, with countless stars shining above his head, as if he could reach out with his hands.

"Your Majesty, look, there are so many stars."

The two leaned together, Zong Qihao hummed in a low voice, breathing slowly and calmly.

The palace people behind followed, laid out the carpet quietly, and quietly left the top floor after arranging the food.

Zong Qihao pointed out several directions to Zhu Sining, and explained to him several famous scenic spots in the capital: "A'Ning, have you seen it?"

"what did you see?"

"Heaven."

Zhu Sining watched it intently for a while, and finally realized: "It seems that something is floating up, is it... a sky lantern?"

"Look further up." Zong Qihao pointed, "Do you see that big triangle, which is composed of three stars that are brighter than the others. There are two big and bright stars, and one that is relatively dark."

Between the two brighter stars, the Milky Way runs right across.

Zong Qihao ate something to restore his strength, and continued: "The bottom is Hegu No. [-], the darker one in the middle is Tianjin No. [-], and going up, the one facing Hegu No. [-] is Zhinu No. [-]."

Zhu Sining looked over one by one and found the corresponding stars: "Weaver Girl One...Hegu Two."

Xianyun is tricky, Feixing spreads hatred, and Yinhan travels in secret.

It was the Altair Vega that he hadn't found.

Zhu Sining's heart couldn't help beating faster, and the slight night wind blew across his cheeks, but it didn't feel cool at all.

Taking out a red thread from his bosom, Zong Qihao said: "I heard that Qiqiao, a folk daughter, is always tied to her wrist... But as far as Ah Ning is concerned, feet are more useful."

If you tie your feet, you will never be able to walk again, and you must stay by his side for the rest of your life.

"I can't even walk now, you still have to tie my feet," Zhu Sining turned his head away, "I can't walk very well, sometimes I have to fall on the ground, if I tie it, I will be fine in the future It's easy to trip over."

This excuse is quite clumsy, it's just a red thread, a few more laps will not affect walking, not to mention that Zhu Sining's leg doesn't know when it will be healed, and it doesn't matter if it is tied now.

Zong Qihao hesitated for a while, but still didn't put it away, and instead asked, "Can Ah Ning tie it on my hand?"

He had already rejected it once, but this time Zhu Sining did not refuse.It's embarrassing to keep silent, Zhu Sining looked for topics to talk about while tying the red thread: "Today is Qixi Festival, Your Majesty won't say anything, or we'll put up a sky lantern to pray..."

I wish Sining stopped in time.

He and Zong Qihao prayed because they felt that there were not enough pits to enter.

Without saying much on this issue, Zong Qihao decided: "I made a temporary decision, let's do it next time."

Zhu Sining just listened to these words. Before Qixi Festival, he didn't see much of Zong Qihao. On Qixi Festival, he finished his work early in the morning, and even bumped into the harem party. If it hadn't been planned for a long time, it would be great possible.

After the red thread was tied, the two sat down, and Zong Qihao taught Zhu Sining to recognize some stars: "In two days, it will be the beginning of autumn, and then enter the last volt of the three volts, and there are fewer stars in autumn. , but when the weather is cold and winter enters, the clouds are less cloudy and the days are more sunny, and the stars that can be seen will increase..."

He spoke in detail, occasionally stopping to drink some light wine: "This year, the finances of various places are very good. After the summer harvest is over, we can rush to plant another season. When winter comes, there will be surplus grain. After winter, the northern rivers It's about to freeze, and some food transport routes will be extremely frozen. Although it's colder, as long as those bandits are wiped out and supplies are sufficient along the way, the efficiency of food transport can be much higher..."

It is still hot and sweaty, and many people are still worried about the little ice left in the cellar, worried that they will not be able to withstand the last wave of heat, Zong Qihao has already thought of the distant winter.

Zhu Sining didn't interrupt.

For a person like Zong Qihao, even if he is not the emperor, he has never expressed any affection for a person. I believe that his own excellence can also attract a lot of attention.

If the plot he always thought was actually his previous life, it's not surprising that he would like Zong Qihao.

Zong Qihao was born to sit in the position of king. He is not only talented, but also hardworking enough. Although he was unlucky in his previous life and met Xiao Yiming who had the aura of the protagonist, but in this life, Xiao Yiming will not be his opponent. Because Zong Qihao is cautious enough, he will not be timid when things happen, and he takes every step very steadily.

"Your Majesty, can you see the entire capital from here?" Zhu Sining looked out.

"I can't see it, but I can see most of it." The disappointment in Zong Qihao's heart has dissipated a lot, and he flicked the lonely red line on his hand. Herbaceous.

"Most of this is also very beautiful. With so many lights on, it must be very prosperous."

The imperial palace is the center of the entire capital, and when the lights of thousands of houses are on, the highest moon-lanning building in the imperial palace is surrounded by a circle of light, which is brilliant——

This is Zong Qihao's prosperity.

Responding loosely, Zong Qihao shook the small wine cup, only a few drops could be poured out from it.

Zhu Sining has no intention of staying here. In this life, he will be alone for the rest of his life.

He didn't want to force him, but he was unwilling to let Zhu Sining go like this.

After doing so much, he still couldn't get what he wanted. He finally realized how desperate Zhu Sining was in his previous life.

But just like what Zhu Sining said, it's all his wishful thinking that he didn't need to respond as it should.

Zhu Sining turned his head, and saw Zong Qihao staring at the few drops of wine slowly falling in the wine cup.

The star-studded summer night sky, every family begs for clever moon-watching festivals, and the moonlight of the first quarter moon is sparse and thin, which is not beautiful.

Zong Qihao's eyebrows were lowered, a little hidden in the shadows, only a little highlight on the bridge of the nose.

If the task is completed, it seems that it is not necessary to stay.

Zhu Sining suddenly had this idea.

Too impulsive, he thought, but he still couldn't restrain the impulse, and blurted out: "If I really had a previous life, I must like you very much."

He likes it no matter what, he is destined to fall into the big pit of Zong Qihao.

The porcelain wine cup in Zong Qihao's hand fell to the ground, rolled twice on the thick carpet, and knocked over other things.

"A-Ning? You... What did you just say?" He stood up abruptly and rushed to Zhu Sining, "Can you say it again?"

"If I had a previous life, it would be normal to like you," Zhu Sining said slowly, "I was thinking just now that the frontier is not very suitable for a lazy person like me. If I stay here, I can eat and drink. Reading novels and playing games to pass the time when I’m free all day seems pretty good.”

And Zong Qihao would accompany him as long as he had time, which is actually not that boring.

Although the two may not be able to chat together, at least Zong Qihao put his mind to it.

Zong Qihao excitedly said: "So...so?"

On the contrary, Zhu Sining calmed down slowly, seeing Zong Qihao being too melancholy just now, he was in a daze and told the truth.

It is said that people who are excited will lose their sanity, and now it is his turn to play Zong Qihao——

"When you tied the red thread just now, you didn't beg for marriage, which means that you don't care if you have it or not."

Zong Qihao: "..." Just now I was thinking that everyone was going to leave, so I just thought about it.

"I want to ask for it." Zhu Sining looked up at the sky frequently during the last hunt, and after reading some astrology books, he was interested.

For this day, he finished all the backlog of official affairs in advance, and prepared for so long just to tie people to death, so how could it be indifferent.

Zhu Sining deliberately asked: "Don't dare to say it, so whose marriage are you asking for?"
