Chapter 186 She is my wife
Xiao Ning tried to communicate with the original owner in his mind, but there was no response.
Shen Zhiyi saw that Xiao Ning hadn't moved for a long time, so he straightened up, only to see Xiao Ning with his head down, one hand on the table and the other on his heart.
He couldn't see her expression and didn't know what she was doing.
"General Xiao?"
Shen Zhiyi called out.
Xiao Ning looked up and looked at this face. His heart beat faster and his eyes became ambiguous.
Shen Zhiyi: “…”
He was very familiar with this look.
He frowned and asked, "General?"
Xiao Ning closed his eyes and said, "I'm suddenly feeling unwell. Supervisor Shen, don't worry about it. Let's talk about business."
Shen Zhiyi said, "Official business is not urgent, otherwise you should first send the doctor to come and see you. After all, suppressing the rebellion is a big deal, and the soldiers cannot do without the general."
Xiao Ning: “…”
This Shen Zhiyi now speaks like a real person.
"It's not a big deal. I know what I'm doing."
Shen Zhiyi: "Don't be afraid of illness and seek medical treatment."
Xiao Ning: “…”
She looked at Shen Zhiyi, and suddenly a nasty smile appeared on her lips, "You're not sick, I just suddenly want to mess with you."
Shen Zhiyi: “…”
These words almost sent Shen Zhiyi away.
He looked at Xiao Ning, his face gradually turning red, not knowing whether it was out of anger or shame, his shoulders were trembling slightly.
Xiao Ning leaned back in his chair and spread his hands. "If you insist on asking, I told you and you act like this again, as if I've done something to you."
Shen Zhiyi didn't understand why people could be so shameless.
He really wanted to slap Xiao Ning in the face now.
But considering that he might not be able to beat her, if a scene like the last time on the palace road happened again, he would be the one to suffer.
Shen Zhiyi could only barely suppress his anger.
"Xiao Yanqing, what I just said was only for the sake of the overall situation. Why do you have to use such filthy words to attack me?"
Xiao Ning: "It was just a joke. I didn't do anything, and you call that an attack? How about I do what you did, saying nothing but secretly trying to trip you up?"
Shen Zhiyi: “…”
Then he would rather she trip him up.
He is good at scheming and her attempts to trip him up may not necessarily lead to his downfall.
But saying that would really disgust him.
"Okay, since I have nothing to say, why don't we talk about business first."
Shen Zhiyi: “…”
What does it mean that he is speechless?
He just didn't want to talk to her about this.
Otherwise, who knows what she will say next.
Shen Zhiyi collected his thoughts and said calmly, "I still say the same thing. General, please write whatever you want. I will follow your lead."
Xiao Ning thought for a moment and said, "I want to hear your opinion first."
Shen Zhiyi stopped making excuses and honestly expressed his thoughts.
Although this guy doesn't speak in a serious manner, his abilities are real. Now that she doesn't trust him, he should show some sincerity.
Listening to Shen Zhiyi's words, Xiao Ning actually looked at him more.
Although this guy has a bad character, he is sharp-minded, understands the situation in the court well enough, and can guess the emperor's thoughts.
Moreover, his remarks this time were entirely from her perspective. He first recounted all the grievances and bitterness along the way, then exaggerated how difficult it was to win the war, and then flattered the emperor, and then asked for food, fodder, and military pay.
The words are sincere.
Xiao Ning felt like he was about to believe it.
If she hadn't led the team in person...
Xiao Ning was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "You just spoke from my perspective, so how would you write your memorial?"
Shen Zhiyi: "Anyway, every memorial is reviewed by you before it is sent out, so why bother asking this?"
Xiao Ning: “…”
After being exposed, Xiao Ning was not embarrassed. She waved her hand casually, motioning Shen Zhiyi to go down.
After Shen Zhiyi left, Xiao Ning ground the ink and began to write the memorial.
Originally, if she wrote something herself, it would take her a long time to organize the language. After all, the original owner didn't like to study, and she was used to vernacular Chinese. Even after she came here, she worked hard to make up for her knowledge, but she still had a headache every time she wrote something in classical Chinese.
Fortunately, Shen Zhiyi had just given a lecture in classical Chinese, so Xiao Ning quickly drafted the memorial.
After drafting it, he put the letter aside and rummaged through the study, finding a stack of fine rice paper.
Spread the rice paper flat, press it down with a paperweight, pick up the pen and start writing a letter home.
It's been a few days since we last met. How is Princess?
From the long pavilion, I set off towards the northwest...
Xiao Ning wrote down everything he saw and heard along the way, and before he knew it, he had written five full pages.
After finishing writing, Xiao Ning looked at the five pages of the letter and felt a little annoyed. Would Her Royal Highness the Princess think that she was too boring and wrote everything on it?
But these are what she wanted to share with him.
He had been trapped in Shengjing City since he was a child. Although Shengjing was prosperous and the princess was glamorous, he was ultimately just a bird in a cage.
He could not leave Shengjing City and could not see the vast world.
She wrote down everything she saw for him to see.
She never hid the darkness, nor concealed the beauty. She wanted him to see the real world.
Xiao Ning thought for a moment, then added another sentence at the end of the letter: "Your Highness the Princess should understand more about people's livelihood."
After writing, she rubbed her fingers along the edge of the envelope, finally put the five pages into the envelope and sealed it with wax.
He picked up the pen and subconsciously wrote the four words "My wife personally wrote" on the envelope.
He put down his pen, looked at these four words, and thought of the princess. His ears turned red and his heart beat a little faster.
Xiao Ning held his chest, pursed his thin lips, and finally tore up the envelope, took out a new one, and re-wrote the four words "Dear Princess".
Looking at these four words that expressed both distance and respect, Xiao Ning frowned and lowered his eyes, stuffed the letter paper back in, and sealed it with sealing wax.
After finishing it, he put the letter away and waited for Shen Zhiyi to write the memorial and take it with him when he sent it to Shengjing.
Xiao Ning sat at the table for a moment, then called someone in. "Go to the main camp and tell them who wants to bring a letter home. Write it quickly in the next two days and send it back with the memorial."
The soldier's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Thank you, General. I'll pass the message on right away!"
After Shen Zhiyi finished drafting the memorial, he found Xiao Ning and handed it to her, "Shen's memorial is ready, please review it, General."
Xiao Ning carefully read through the letter and saw that there was nothing wrong with it. He put the letter on the desk and said, "Don't you have any letters to deliver home?"
Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said, “I’ll go back and write it later.”
Then he looked at Xiao Ning again, "Who did you give this letter to? The princess?"
Xiao Ning said, "She is my wife. If I don't give my letter home to her, should I give it to you?"
Shen Zhiyi: "...I just asked casually, why are you choking me?"
Xiao Ning: "Who told you to ask this unnecessary question?"
Shen Zhiyi looked at her and suddenly smiled: "Do you mind what I said before?"
Xiao Ning: “…”
