Self-cultivation after the cannon fodder

Zong Qihao is the most familiar stranger in the harem, and no one feels comfortable seeing him.Zhu Sining originally thought that Zong Qihao was getting bored and wanted to leave, so he spoke to appease the concubines.

Zong Qihao turned around suddenly, Zhu Sining was quite calm, and cared from a friend's standpoint: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, so please pay attention to your health."

If it wasn't for Zhu Sining, Zong Qihao would never have thought of this.

The former Emperor Qihao was amazed by Xiao Yiming's business ability and good luck. Donating money to the court to win fame should have been difficult to turn around. He never expected that he could expand his business territory again with the help of Southwest Pigment, gaining both fame and fortune.

As the master of the world, Zong Qihao wouldn't go out and grab it just for a little paint. What surprised him was that Xiao Yiming's business network, linked together, was a colossus.

It was still too early for Xiao Yiming to rescue that capable subordinate, but it was very close to the first spring rain in the southwest.Zong Qihao wanted to plant new crops in the Southwest and other places as soon as possible, and encouraged merchants to go to the Southwest to purchase raw materials so that Southwest production could resume production as soon as possible.

Zong Qihao only took two steps before he remembered that he hadn't said goodbye to Zhu Sining, and then turned back, but he never thought that the concubines in the palace would be surprised by his actions.

It was Zhu Sining who hurriedly explained for him.

"Thank you Zitong for your concern." Zong Qihao looked at Zhu Sining with a smile, "I suddenly remembered that I had something important to do, so I had to miss the appointment."

"It's all right, Your Majesty, go ahead."

Zhu Sining is very understanding.

Zong Qihao said solemnly: "I want to thank Zitong very much, it really helped me a lot."

As soon as Zong Qihao left, everyone in the harem felt that the Jiaofang hall was several times wider, and they could finally breathe freely.

Lowering her eyes, Concubine Lu Gui glanced at the other concubines calmly, and announced the continuation in a flat tone.

Even though he had doubts about the relationship between the empress and the empress, Zhu Sining was still as usual, full of praise for their works, and even distributed rewards. It didn't take long for the atmosphere to become active again.

After admiring the art performance of the concubines, Zhu Sining invited them to dinner again, and sent them out of the Jiaofang Palace at dusk.

Concubine Lu Guifei helped Zhu Sining take care of the aftermath, and directed the palace staff to clean up. Zhu Sining just needs to sit and drink tea.

Zhu Sining: "You are always asking the imperial concubine to help me, you are the guest, there is no reason for me to sit."

Concubine Lu Gui not only served as the host, but also helped Zhu Sining entertain the concubines, and she was busy all day.

Zhu Sining asked Concubine Lu Gui to sit down very embarrassedly: "I think they are doing a good job, so don't keep staring at them."

Concubine Lu took a sip of tea and said: "Your Highness has a kind heart. When seeing palace people stealing and cheating, she also wants to be considerate and lazy for them to cheat. After a long time, I'm afraid they will lose His Highness in their eyes."

Zhu Sining was not directly in charge of affairs, and had a very low sense of presence to other people in the harem. If Zong Qihao ignored him again, he would inevitably be despised by the palace people.

"Concubine Lu Gui is really caring," Zhu Sining refilled tea for Concubine Lu Gui, imitating the tone of those palace people, and thanked her with a smile, "Your concubine has worked hard."

"Cough, cough..." Concubine Lu Gui's cheeks flushed red from the choking, she quickly raised her sleeves to cover her face, "What did His Highness say, this is the job of a concubine."

The two sat for a while, and Zhu Sining could clearly feel that Concubine Lu Gui's attitude towards him was not as rigid as before, and she could continue blushing occasionally with a few jokes.

...However, the task is still not completed.

The tea party did bring the concubines closer, but it was not enough.

Xiao Yiming's unintentional words have already been uttered, Zong Qihao probably came here to question him, fortunately, he was prepared to prove that there is still a gap between him and the rumors, and he also has a thrifty side!

Zhu Sining said in a slow tone and lyrically: "I never thought before that one day I would marry a man."

Concubine Lu Gui was startled, Zhu Sining was born in the Prince Qin's Mansion, and grew up on the border. What she expected to see was the lonely smoke in the desert, bending the bow and shooting the eagles. a man.

She could think of these things, but she couldn't say them out, so she just bowed her head in silence.

Zhu Sining continued: "It's not up to me to choose these things. Even though I have never learned how to manage a director, after entering the palace and sitting in this position, I don't seek meritorious service, but at least I can't make mistakes."

After all, if you make a mistake, not only will your life be costly, but your family will also be affected.

Concubine Lu Gui firmly said: "I will definitely do my best to assist Your Highness, and please rest assured Your Highness."

This sentence is enough, Zhu Sining said: "The front and back palaces have always been one, and royal affairs are world affairs. Your Majesty has no heirs for a long time, and the people of the previous dynasty will inevitably fluctuate. I am a man, and I cannot give birth to Your Majesty. It doesn't matter, but you..."

Zhu Sining stopped and didn't say any more.

Lu Guifei already understood what Zhu Sining meant.

"I don't blame you for this matter. Your Majesty will not be coerced by others, and no one can persecute him. It's just that your Majesty has no children, and I am a man. It is inevitable that there will be remonstrances to open a draft to enrich the harem. However, what is the situation in the harem? Only those among them know," Zhu Sining said, "I thought, if the draft is held again, it will be nothing more than selecting your sisters and sisters."

"Your Highness means..." Concubine Lu Gui had a faint guess in her heart.

"Smart!" Zhu Sining boasted, "There are already enough people in this pit, I don't want to see another good girl who can't get out again."

"Your Highness..." Concubine Lu Gui's eyes were red, and she was about to salute when she got up.

"Don't, don't, get up." Zhu Sining quickly pulled her up, "Don't be like this, there are so many people watching."

Even though there is still some time before the draft, it does not prevent Zhu Sining from using this title first.

"Today I saw what everyone made, and they were all beautiful. If they were only placed in the palace, only a few of us would be able to see them coming and going," Zhu Sining said, "How about this, I will open the palace door, For everyone's convenience, you sent all these things back to each family, which can be regarded as a relief of homesickness."

In the past, the gates of the palace were only opened during the Spring Festival, and the concubines in the palace could also communicate with their families, but they could only send letters from home, and the control of the circulation of goods had always been strict.Now Zhu Sining will open the palace gate at this time, and also allow to send things...

Concubine Lu Gui's eyelashes fluttered, and she lifted it up a little bit to peek at Zhu Sining.

Zhu Sining always smiled: "You know these things, they are not worth a thousand dollars, and the materials are even more cheap, and they are all from the southwest... These are everyone's wishes. If they can be sent to their parents' home, it is also a repayment to them As for informing the palaces how to prepare, I would be more at ease if the imperial concubine did it."

Zhu Sining finished the last word, Concubine Lu Gui opened her eyes wide and heard her own heartbeat beating like a drum.

If the queen doesn't cry, it's a big deal. It's very difficult to carry private things in the palace. If you are caught, you will definitely have to search up and down. However, if the superiors acquiesce or even open the door, it will be different. up.

Concubine Lu Gui whispered: "Your Majesty..."

"You don't need to worry about these things. His Majesty still needs me to sit in the queen's position for the time being." Zhu Sining assured Concubine Lu that if something happened, he would just take care of it.

How to prevent other sisters in the family from stepping into this golden cage, of course, must be carefully planned, and there are many things that can be done by sending things out of the palace this time.

It's just that she has earned all the favors, which is too unfair.

Concubine Lu Gui: "Your Highness has prestige in every palace, and they will definitely listen to you. I'm a concubine who speaks lightly, so forget it..."

"How could it be? Who dares to think like that?" Zhu Sining winked at her and teased, "You are a noble concubine, under one person, above ten thousand people, besides me in the harem, you are the biggest one, and you still hold real power, More majestic than my queen."

"This..." Lu Guifei was speechless.

"If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."

Zhu Sining made the final decision and sent Concubine Lu Gui out of the palace.

Concubine Lu did her job properly, and a few days later, as the palace gate opened, Zhu Sining could clearly see the purple progress bar go further and go straight to 20.00%.

Three progress points.

Regarding how to judge the degree of task completion, Zhu Sining has studied it, and the points given for each task are different. The system is very stingy for general behaviors and actions, and only one will be given, but this kind of task has a lot of room to play. If it can be linked to the following plot, or give the protagonist assistance in other aspects, the rating will be the highest, and the upper limit is five.

Five doesn't seem like much, but for Zhu Sining, who has gone through several days of tossing to complete the big wedding task, and the system only gives one progress point, it is a big profit.

Zhu Sining guessed that Zong Qihao would abandon the plot of accusing him in the original book because of this, but Zong Qihao didn't expect that Zong Qihao would also think of the role of these plants in water and soil fixation, and vigorously promote them in the southwest.At this time, along with the things sent out by the concubines in the harem, those raw materials from the southwest were also noticed by dignitaries and nobles, and became popular in the capital.

System: [New progress of the task has been detected, the rating has been upgraded to perfect, and the progress has been increased by two percentage points. 】

Zhu Sining woke up from a nap, leaned lazily on the recliner, drank a cup of tea occasionally, listened to Concubine Lu's report, and sighed silently——

Sure enough, stimulating consumption stimulates domestic demand and contributes to the promotion of production.

After Lu Guifei finished her report, she didn't leave in a hurry, but took the initiative to stay and accompany Zhu Sining to tell some new stories, and the two even played cards.

"It's over, I think I'm going to lose this hand." Zhu Sining picked up the newly exchanged cards, and it was another waste card that didn't match the pair.

Seeing that the number of cards in her hand is getting less and less, and the thinking time of Zhu Sining is gradually increasing every time she exchanges, Concubine Lu Guifei is very proud: "Your Highness has won so many times, it's time for me to win once in a while. "

Zhu Sining snorted a few times, but refused to accept his fate: "I won't lose, just bet one or two cards and lose to you, it's too easy and easy to calculate. Never lost."

When Zong Qihao came in, he only listened to the end of the story.Zhu Sining said this very bluntly, only thinking about winning or losing, but Concubine Lu Gui on the opposite side still smiled at Yan Yan, without any irritation.

"Zitong—" Zong Qihao suddenly said.

Hearing Zong Qihao's voice, Concubine Lu Gui was startled suddenly, she couldn't hold the cards in her hand anymore, and scattered all over the ground.

Zhu Sining was deeply regretful: "Oh, I have seen all the cards, so I can't play." I thought this round would be more interesting, and it would be more difficult to win.

"It doesn't matter, Zitong will win this game." Zong Qihao said, looking at Concubine Lu Gui who hurriedly saluted, "After all, it was Concubine Lu who was rude first."
