Self-cultivation after the cannon fodder

The task bar went two progress points and stopped moving. Zhu Sining estimated that Zong Qihao would not be able to squeeze any more progress points. The other concubines in the harem were fine and lived in harmony. Wang Zhaoyi even sent Zhu Sining an Come to her furniture covers.

Very festive bright red, flower, bird and fish pattern, smart and elegant.

But Zhu Sining didn't look right no matter how he looked at it: "This...why do I look so red?"

Wang Zhaoyi nodded and said proudly: "That's for sure. The concubine specially asked Yingying to open the warehouse and chose the most correct bright red color. Fortunately, there are still a lot left after your Majesty and His Highness got married. The concubine guessed, Match it with other colors, and it will definitely be enough to make a whole set.”

"But this seems to have only one color..."

"That's right, I only used this bright red color for the dormitory, which is very in line with His Highness's requirements, so happy!"

Zhu Sining felt awkward, these covers had to be put on, he had the feeling of dreaming back to the wedding night: "...Don't you think there is something wrong?"

Wang Zhaoyi: "What's wrong? This color is agreed upon by Yingying! It's very suitable for Chinese New Year!"

Zhu Sining: "..."

Concubine Xu Shu...

Zhu Sining was sure she did it on purpose.

Wang Zhaoyi was very enthusiastic: "Your Highness, give it a try and see what you don't like. You don't need to meet people in the bedroom, you can see what is not good and inappropriate, and you can change it in the main hall."

"Uh..." Zhu Sining didn't want to use it.

However, Wang Zhaoyi insisted that she usually made embroidery samples, and few had seen her real skills. During the Chinese New Year, court ladies would first come to see Zhu Sining before going to the palaces. This is an excellent display Chance.

Zhu Sining couldn't bear Wang Zhaoyi: "Then... put it on, put it on."

Seeing the red in the palace man's hand was really dazzling, Zhu Sining felt a little headache. If Zong Qihao saw this, he might take the opportunity to trick him again, so he just went out out of sight and out of mind.

There are only a few key points to trigger the mission, Zhu Sining walked around and went to the library.

After the debate, he didn't go to the library anymore. He heard from Zong Qihao that Xiao Yiming had been depressed for a long time, and then his family's property was hit, and he was so busy all day long that he didn't even pay much attention to the most basic work.

"Is Lord Xiao there?"

Zhu Sining asked the book boy cleaning in the library.

The book boy shook his head, seeing that there was no one around, he whispered: "Lord Xiao hasn't come on time for a long time, if His Highness needs it, you can go to the Imperial Academy to find a scholar."

"it is good."

Zhu Sining walked around the library, found a few interesting books, and went to the Hanlin Academy.

Xiao Yiming was holding a stack of books in his hand, his face was much more haggard than before, seeing that Zhu Sining came to him specially, his expression was a bit unnatural.

It is impossible for Zhu Sining not to know that the family that he did not deal with came back to life under the banner of the royal family.

Zong Qihao has always been indifferent to the harem. Before he knew how much he could earn, he would only find it troublesome and would not want to do these things.

It's not surprising that Zhu Sining would come up with such an out-of-the-ordinary personality, even if he won't be the specific executor.

After saluting respectfully, Xiao Yiming asked: "I don't know why His Highness came here, but is there anything that needs humble ministers?"

Zhu Sining said: "Master Xiao finally no longer calls himself 'I'."

Xiao Yiming pursed his lips, and lowered his head slightly: "I haven't congratulated His Highness on his recovery yet. Your Highness came down suddenly, and I didn't have time to prepare a congratulatory gift. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

"It's okay to make up later, I don't mind."

I wish Sining

Xiao Yiming's senses are quite complicated. On the one hand, he knows that the reason why Xiao Yiming can go smoothly is because of the aura of the protagonist. The growth environment without difficulties and adversities makes it difficult for him to consider others. On the other hand, he is also a victim of Xiao Yiming's aura of the protagonist. .

That's why he didn't come to the library for a long time.

Of course, he was lucky to be able to rewind with Zong Qihao and get help from the system.

Now Xiao Yiming's halo of the protagonist was almost broken, and Xiao Yiming himself fell into a stagnant situation.

The two sat in silence for a while.

Zhu Sining and Zong Qihao didn't have much in common, let alone Xiao Yiming. When they got along in the past, they were more driven by Xiao Yiming. Now that Xiao Yiming doesn't speak, he has nothing to say.

However, the system remained silent for a long time, and Zhu Sining was unwilling to just leave.

"I heard that the frontier has been fully prepared, and several small conflicts have broken out." Xiao Yiming took the initiative to bring up the topic.

Zhu Sining echoed, "That's right. I heard from my elder brother that there are winners and losers."

Xiao Yiming, who was far away from the center of the court, certainly did not have as much news as Zhu Sining, who was able to communicate with the parties involved, so there was no need to talk about this topic.

"Master Xiao..." Zhu Sining considered it carefully, "It seems that you are used to everything going smoothly, but you are always in the leading position?"

Whenever Xiao Yiming finishes one thing, other people and things in the world will inevitably change accordingly, and the changes are beneficial to Xiao Yiming.

Xiao Yiming reluctantly pulled the corner of his mouth: "Why does Your Highness think so?"

"Because looking at Lord Xiao's life experience, I found that you have never encountered any setbacks." Zhu Sining said, "Even His Majesty, you don't just do whatever you want in the court. I know that he often feels that those courtiers It's annoying to be on the wheel with a question, but he never said it directly."

Xiao Yiming recalled that every time he encountered such a situation, Zong Qihao was not very willing to listen to it, he didn't know where to fly to, and when Jiang Wei reminded that the time was almost the same, he would announce the end of the debate, everyone go back and think about it The end continues.

In fact, it was the courtiers who felt annoying if this method was too much, because no matter how loudly they argued, Zong Qihao would not persuade or make a decision, and let them waste their energy in vain.

"It's even worse for me. If there were no accidents, I might not be here now." He would be stationed at the border with Zhu Xiuyong, and he and Zong Qihao were just monarchs and ministers.Zhu Sining went on to say: "Actually, I don't think there is anything bad about setbacks. There are a lot of things like gaining wisdom through adversity, and getting a blessing in disguise."

Sometimes he also thought that if his leg hadn't been injured, maybe Zhu Guang wouldn't want to keep him in the capital, but it's hard to say, after all, he couldn't escape his liking for Zong Qihao. Will take the initiative to stay.

"It was too smooth, so Mr. Xiao finally forgot who he is, and always felt that he could get everything he wanted." Zhu Sining's eyes reflected Xiao Yiming's panic, "Is that so?"

Xiao Yiming's breath stagnated: "It turns out that His Highness is not unaware."

"I really didn't feel it. It was His Majesty who told me." Zhu Sining has always been insensitive to these things, but Zong Qihao felt that even if he knew that Zhu Sining was innocent, he would force Zhu Sining to reconcile Xiao Yiming made contact.

Thinking of how things would turn out like this, Zhu Si Ning was a little overwhelmed. Zong Qihao had been very dissatisfied with him spending rewards at will for Lu Guifei. After the two got married, the other concubines and Zhu Si Ning would be better He is not happy either.

It made Zhu Sining suspect for a while that this was Zong Qihao's trick again, just wanting to see himself begging him in embarrassment.

"His Majesty

? "Xiao Yiming's heart sank, "Would he care? "

"Why don't you care?" Zhu Sining asked back.

Xiao Yiming clasped his fists together: "Your Highness told me earlier that he hoped for peace in the frontier and no more wars, but when he went to the meeting hall, he changed his words and said that he supported His Majesty's decision to lead the battle. Which time was it against his will? His Highness thinks that if the Given the choice between Jiangshan Sheji and His Highness, what will His Majesty choose?"

"For the first time, I followed what you said, because obviously peace talks are in your best interest," Zhu Sining laughed, "As for the second question, I will not let His Majesty make such a choice. Moreover, I have always believed that those who ask such questions are either stupid or bad, and Lord Xiao is obviously not stupid."

This kind of problem, which is similar to the question of who to save when his girlfriend and mother fell into the water, is simply a death problem for straight men, and Zhu Sining firmly resists it.

Xiao Yiming was silent for a while, then said softly: "Your Majesty is very lucky."

Zhu Sining: "I don't agree with that, it's not that he's lucky, it's that he's hardworking."

If Zong Qihao doesn't work hard, they will miss it again. Zhu Sining will definitely choose to leave after finishing the task.

When Xiao Yiming got up, a group of palace people came towards him not far away, and the eunuch at the head was holding a scroll of imperial decree.

After bowing far away to Zhu Sining, the eunuch said sharply: "Master Xiao, accept the order."

Zong Qihao's imperial decree completely transferred Xiao Yiming from the court, and sent him to the southwest land that was still slowly recovering.

Xiao Yiming knelt down to accept the order.

The sky became dark at some point, and thin snow particles fell sparsely.

This is the first snow in Beijing this year.

Zhu Sining reached out to catch a grain of snow, but after a while, the grain of snow was melted by the temperature of his palm.

System: [Mission completed, congratulations to user Zhu Sining, who successfully reduced Xiao Yiming's influence by 50.00%, thus Xiao Yiming lost the aura of the protagonist.The system service has expired. I hope that users will continue to work hard in the future and work hand in hand with Zong Qihao to build a prosperous, strong, democratic, harmonious society ruled by law. 】

finished.

The system didn't release any tasks before, but now it's completed just because Xiao Yiming received such an imperial decree.

Zhu Sining froze in place.

It turns out that it doesn't matter if he does more or less, the most important thing is Zong Qihao's step, only in this way can he complete the task.

——Complement each other, only they can complete the task together and get rid of Xiao Yiming's halo of the protagonist together.

Zhu Sining immediately stood up and ran out of the Imperial Academy.

"Your Highness..."

Xiao Yiming's astonished cry was blown away by the cold wind, Zhu Sining didn't have any leisure for him, he was going to see Zong Qihao now.

According to Zong Qihao's usual arrangement, the courtiers should be called for a meeting in the meeting hall now.

But it doesn't matter, Zhu Sining will definitely not disturb him, as long as he wants to meet Zong Qihao, he will be fine.

The snow gradually became bigger, rolled up with the wind, and swirled one after another.

The palace guards patrolling the palace road all bowed their heads to make way for Zhu Sining when they saw Zhu Sining. He passed one palace after another, and finally arrived at the white jade steps of the meeting hall.

"Your Highness!"

The guards on duty saw him and saluted one by one.

"..." Zhu Sining couldn't say a word, panting violently.

It was so cold that every breath he exhaled would turn into white smoke.

He pointed to the brightly lit palace ahead, motioning for him to go in.

The guard on duty nodded and was about to speak when Zhu Sining couldn't wait to run up by himself.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly and pushed the door open. Before his fingertips touched it, the door opened by itself.

The ministers looked at each other

Zhu Sining's head and body were covered with snow particles, and her hair was blown by the wind

Messy and out of breath.

The courtier at the front looked at his hand and was sure that he opened the door: "Your Highness?"

On the seat in the hall, Zong Qihao, who finished the meeting and lowered his head to sort out the paperwork, raised his head.

"Aning—"

Zhu Sining let out a breath of white air, and his eyes quickly blurred.

Zong Qihao dropped the things in his hands, and went down the golden steps in two steps in three steps.

Jiang Wei waved his fly whisk, and all the ministers immediately understood, bowed to leave, and closed the door by the way.

"Why did you come here all of a sudden?" Zong Qihao put his arms around Zhu Sining, and Jiang Wei offered a cup of hot tea beside him.

"I want...I want to see you." Zhu Sining sniffed, the tip of his nose flushed.

Zong Qihao smiled: "I see you now."

Zhu Sining drank the hot tea in small sips, and Zong Qihao fixed his hair for him.

Zhu Sining: "Imperial decree."

Zong Qihao quickly admitted: "I sent it."

"you know……"

"You are at Xiao Yiming's place."

Zhu Sining raised his hand and punched Zong Qihao in the chest, and was surrounded by his palm.

Zong Qihao: "I did it on purpose."

The fingertips being held were still cold, Zong Qihao slowly climbed up Zhu Sining's arm: "I've said it many times, you still go, but it's okay, you may never see him again him."

"I don't want to see him!" Zhu Sining's eyes widened. He was sore from the wind blowing all the way, and his eyes were flushed.

Zong Qihao didn't answer any more, he lifted Zhu Sining's chin, leaned over and kissed it.

The chair Zhu Sining was sitting in was too small for two people, Zong Qihao picked him up - he had long been used to it, and walked to the widest place on the golden steps step by step.

All the people in the palace withdrew, Jiang Wei raised his whisk and looked up at the flying snow particles.

"Shouldn't be here." Zhu Sining regretted it very much. In the future, Zong Qihao would hold many meetings here, and countless courtiers would look up at him and the dragon seat on the golden steps.

"It's okay, I'll clean it up." Zong Qihao pulled up his collar for him.

"Is this a matter of cleaning up?!"

Zhu Sining couldn't help kicking Zong Qihao.

He didn't wear shoes, and he didn't have much strength, Zong Qihao only felt as if a feather was gently brushing past him.

It makes him itchy.

The door of the hall opened, and the cold wind took away the charming atmosphere in the hall.

"Do you still want to go by yourself?"

"Isn't this the closest to His Majesty's bedroom?" Zhu Sining jumped down the golden steps and took two steps.

Zong Qihao: "Don't you want to go back to Jiaofang Palace?"

Zhu Sining: "..."

Thinking of what Wang Zhaoyi did to the dormitory, for the sake of his own life, Zhu Sining felt that it would be better not to go back tonight.

Zhu Sining: "I'm not going back, it's so cold, so hurry back."

Zong Qihao didn't care too much, followed him back to the bedroom.

It's just that when he woke up the next day, it was strange that Zhu Sining couldn't wait to go back to the Jiaofang Palace.

Make a secret note in my heart, all the waiting After receiving an urgent report, Zong Qihao immediately went to Jiaofang Hall.

Entering the temple is full of red.

Zhu Sining was about to kneel down to Wang Zhaoyi: "Didn't you say that you need to change it? Why did it suddenly get done?"

Wang Zhaoyi said: "It's not good, there are still a few stitches to finish. The concubine looked at it yesterday. There are a lot of furniture here in His Highness. It must be changed. Your Highness used a wheelchair before, so you need to be more careful."

"Is there?" Zhu Sining didn't know, he would not pay attention to these details.

"Here, for example, this table corner," Wang Zhaoyi pointed to a round table corner, "Your Majesty ordered it."

"Ah..." Zhu Sining had nothing to say, there was no one else who could think of this except Zong Qihao.

Zong Qihao didn't admit it, so he looked at Zhu Sining's ears flushed and tried to calm down.

Wang Zhaoyi: "So we have to try it first, and see how to change it. Also, what do you think of those in the bedroom?"

"Uh...not bad," Zhu Sining just wanted to quickly change those big red covers, especially the ones in the bedroom, so that Zong Qihao wouldn't see them, "Do you want to take those back and change them?"

"Not bad? Does Your Highness think it looks good?"

"It looks good, but it will be better if I go back and change some details."

"Your Highness, don't think I don't know!" Wang Zhaoyi was so angry that she even forgot to say, "You didn't come back last night at all, and you didn't even look at it! It's too perfunctory!"

Zhu Sining: "..." The world has changed, and the only idiot in the harem will play tricks on him.

The harem is now in charge of Concubine Xu Shu, assisted by Fan Chongrong, Wang Zhaoyi only needs to ask to know.

Zhu Sining: "Then...then what do you want?"

"Is it okay for your Highness to use it?" Wang Zhaoyi resolutely defended her reputation as the number one embroidery in the capital, "Your Highness, use it first, and the concubine will retire first."

She bowed to the two of them before exiting.

"What is this for? So festive?" Zong Qihao suppressed a smile.

Zhu Sining was expressionless: "Wang Zhaoyi did it, if His Majesty doesn't like it, I'll have someone dismantle it."

"Very good, very suitable for the occasion." Zong Qihao took out the urgent report and handed it to Zhu Sining, "Take a look."

"This is?" Zhu Sining immediately threw the big red furniture cover behind him, and quickly opened the emergency newspaper to look.

The first light snow fell in the capital, and the snow on the border was already as deep as a calf.

Zhu Guang and Zhu Xiuyong led troops deep into the hinterland, attacked from both sides, and wiped out the main force of the foreign race.

Zong Qihao: "Everything is going well, this battle must be won."

He said it very plainly, but he missed this victory in his previous life, and spent countless days and nights in this life, persuading all parties to support him in exchange for it.

"Your Majesty is really amazing." Zhu Sining hugged him, "I said it a long time ago, Your Majesty can't be wrong."

With a blink of his eyes, the ink on the emergency newspaper was blurred.

"Why are you crying?" Zong Qihao wiped away the tears on his face with his fingers.

"No, you read it wrong!" Zhu Sining closed his eyes, refusing to admit it.

"Yes, I was wrong. We, Aning, are the ones who won't cry no matter how much it hurts." Zong Qihao kissed his eyes.

Zhu Sining gasped and whimpered: "You tricked me again..."

"Yes, I knew you'd like this."

Zong Qihao picked up Zhu Sining and walked towards the bedroom decorated with bright red decorations.

Just like when they got married.

The snow is still falling, and the milky white rime is hung on the branches, which is delicate and beautiful.

The nagging old eunuch carried a lantern and led a few young eunuchs to light the lamp holders beside the palace road.

Lighting up a lamp holder, the little eunuch breathed out white air, looking at the distant mountains where half of the setting sun sank behind the majestic palace walls.

Changfeng knocked off the felt hat on the old eunuch's head, and he turned around and ran after the hat, without caring about scolding the apprentice who was procrastinating.

Several little eunuchs laughed.

The wind rolled up the felt hat and continued to walk forward. It was an endless and churning sea of ​​clouds.

The birds fluttered their wings and returned to their nests. Below was the bustling street with people coming and going. Children sang and sang in circles.

Throwing stones, the adults turned back in shock and scattered like birds and beasts all the way; along the long wind, farther away was the desolate frontier, the soldiers cheered and celebrated the victory, and the vigorous bonfire illuminated everyone's faces.

The horse raised its hooves and rattled across the frozen ground.

The big Qin character flag flutters in the wind.

The wind turned around and returned to the palace wall, put down the old eunuch's felt hat, and slipped in through the crack of a palace door.

Inside the gauze tent, a pair of figures were close together, and the shorter one sneezed solidly.

"If I can't get up tomorrow, it will be Zong Qihao who killed you."

He put on some clothes and got out of bed to pour a cup of hot water, and said to the figure behind him without turning his head, "This time, give me a drink, and if you want to drink, pour it yourself."

The bright moon hangs high outside the window, and the room is warm in spring.

Prosperous and beautiful scenery, the mountains and rivers share this time.
