Cunning General Si Ning

Si Ning feels nothing but peace now that he knows the whole story so he could now boldly see Xiu Zhicheng and thinking of that made him smile because for some reason he now feels at ease.

Xiu TianZhoa just left with his twin bodyguards and Si Ning was left all alone. He shakes the cup of the liquor and suddenly grabbed the empty pot of liquor like he was trying to confirm if it was really empty and after shaking it and seeing that it was empty he placed it on the table and pushed his cup right next to it, he took the filled cup he placed earlier on the floor and placed it on the table, deciding to not taste it because he might end up wanting more and telling his servants to bring more which might cause a terrible hangover the next morning and unlike Xiu TianZhoa he wasn't a Prince and hoped that Xiu Zhicheng would let it sly if he ends up spouting nonsense in the courtroom just because he had some drinks the previous night. The drink was so tempting that he had to close his eyes like he was fighting his demons because resisting the alcohol was a battle he had to win.

"King Consort." The door opened and Yang Sheng stepped in with a younger manservant.

Si Ning opened his eyes, grunted displeased when he saw who came in. "What about the maids?" He finally asked the question that has been bugging him because he should have a lot of maids attending to him to fulfill his dream which means seeing an older man who was the head of the servants and the manservants around wasn't part of his fantasy.

Yang Sheng stepped forward. "His Majesty instructed us to serve you and his Majesty says if the King Consort want more servants then this servant should bring the profile of those that can fill the position." He said a word at a time as he bowed.

Si Ning's face lightens up, a small smile playing on his lips as he paused in order not to reply so fast and act like he was looking forward to getting rid of the male servants. "Yes bring it." He said after the long pause, feeling satisfied to be given the grace of choosing his servants which means he would personally select the beauties. He didn't touch the liquor so he was fine and couldn't wait to get rid of all the male servants in the house and replace them with some delicate-looking maids.

Yang Sheng stepped out while the younger servant started clearing the table, he left as soon as he wiped the table clean, and soon after Yang Sheng returned with stacks of papers, he bowed and proceed to place them gently in front of Si Ning.

Si Ning was a bit surprised to see how high the bunch of papers was, he took one only to see that it was a profile of each person attached to a portrait drawing of each servant.

In a world without a camera, Si Ning didn't expect it and he was impressed that he doesn't need to ask Yang Sheng about each of their looks. The small smile playing on his lips came to a halt when he took the second profile, the third, the fourth, and fifth only to notice that all he had been looking at were male servants' profiles, he quickly flipped through the rest to see it was the same.

"Why are they all men?" Si Ning asked, annoyed he just wasted time checking the male profiles.

It was high time for him to live the dream of having many maids in cute uniforms that would kneel and feed him. Even though their uniform wasn't what he would call cute but it was still better than having manservants.

"His Majesty instructed that only the male servants could be at your service." Yang Sheng told him.

What?

Si Ning's mouth fell as he glanced at one of the profiles when he noticed that all the profiles he had been checking non of them were good-looking. "And why is that?" He asked calmly trying not to lose it and bang the table.

"This Servant do not know King Consort." Yang Sheng replied.

Si Ning sighed as he clinched his fist. "Just change all the manservants with you with some good-looking ones." He propped up his elbow to support his head trying to think if he just gave out a proper order because he didn't take any note of all the servants that he saw when he arrived so he couldn't tell if they were good-looking or not.

"This Servant will do that King Consort."

Si Ning was getting married to a man so if he wasn't going to get his fantasy of having as many beauties as his maids then at least he should have some handsome men. Ah Dai would always serve him alongside Yang Sheng but Si Ning still want to be surrounded by good-looking people and when he imagined the men feeding him, it didn't sit well with him because he would prefer Xiu Zhicheng doing it instead.

But what was Xiu Zhicheng's purpose?

Si Ning sighed as he massaged his temples knowing only Xiu Zhicheng could give him a reply. "Hmmm."

"King Consort, do you need some massage, this Servant is very skilled when it comes to that aspect." Yang Sheng suggested.

Si Ning almost rolled his eyes. "Never mind don't replace the servants, just take this out." He gestured to the papers in front of him, he doesn't care about the manservants' feelings but he doesn't want the news of him replacing his servants with good-looking ones to circulate.

"This Servant will do that." Yang Sheng replied as he started packing up the papers.

"Ah Dai!" Si Ning called out.

Ah Dai quickly entered, a big smile plastered on his face and Si Ning could see he seemed happy to be called by him. "Young Master."

"Yang Sheng." Si Ning called the attention of Yang Sheng who stopped packing the papers at once to listen to what his new Master had to say. "The servants will at Ah Dai's disposal and Ah Dai you can resume all your chores like you do at home but take it easy since you have subordinates now to help you and.... hmmm bring me the lunch packed for me." He instructed as he watched the two bowed and leave

It wasn't long when Ah Dai came back with the two food containers and placed them on the table. He ran out and returned with two porcelain bowls and chopsticks in a tray which he placed on the table, he quickly unwrapped the cloth around the containers and proceed to open it.

Si Ning took picked the chopsticks and proceed to pick some dumplings into the small bowl. He directed his attention to the red soup and dipped the chopsticks in it to fish out a slice of meat and threw it into his mouth, it was so spicy that he felt like his tongue was on fire that he swallowed without bothering to chew and quickly drank the water Ah Dai poured for him.

Ah! do Si Nan wants to kill me.

"Young Master what about the gifts?" Ah Dai asked.

"Oh that, I will deliver it tomorrow." Si Ning told him. after the burning on his tongue subsides. "Take this soup and the rest, eat it, and if you can't just give it to Xiao Pei." It was such a waste that he wouldn't be eating the soup. He would rather avoid sticking out his tongue throughout the night because he had never eaten such spicy soup and his senses were telling him to avoid it at all cause. He quickly put it at the back of his mind to tell Si Nan he prefers mild soup.

"Thank you, Young Master." Ah Dai said happily as covered the containers.
