Cunning General Si Ning

"...I wandered, Baby I, I could make it better, I could hold you tighter, On that long road, Oh you're the light." Si Ning sang as he twirled around making the water dripping from his hair splashed around before his hair settled to stick to his face and back.

Si Ning pulled the hair that was blocking his view back and took his time matching his dance steps smoothly as he pulled out a robe from the wardrobe to check if it was suitable to his taste and see if it was an attire he could wear to the palace. "Uninvited, unwelcome, the only one who recognized me, this eternal night with no end in sight, It's you who gifted me the morning, can I now hold that hand? Oh oh, I can make it right." He turned around, imagining himself as part of BTS performing on a stage as he turned around moving swiftly to the mirror, placing the robe he was holding to his neck but just like the heap of clothes on the floor, he doesn't feel like it suits him wearing it to the palace so he turned around twice before throwing on the floor.

After Si Nan told him about Xiu Zhicheng naming him his Empress, Si Ning pretended that he had a lot to think about and asked to be left alone but he had been in high spirit since then, spending a long time in the bath humming to himself as he took his time to complete all his beauty routine steps until he was satisfied.

After Si Ning got out of the bath, he didn't allow Ah Dai to dress him or style his hair instead he had been singing 'make it right' by 'BTS' in the room as he tried to choose suitable robes to wear to the palace.

"All right, all right, oh I can make it right, all right, all right, oh I can make it right....." Si Ning sang in his loudest voice as he raised his two hands, even though he knew the song he was singing would sound strange to the people that might hear him because the song was a combination of English and Korean language but as a General, it wasn't odd for him to know other languages so he continued to sing bringing out a purple robe.

Si Ning was supposed to dry his hair first but he was more concerned about finding the perfect attire first. He nodded satisfied with the shiny purple robe with dark purple embroidery on it, he placed it on the bed in order to quickly pull his hair up, wrapping it into a bun before removing his outer robe that was slightly wet at the back due to his wet hair.

It would be a waste for water to drip on the purple robe so Si Ning picked up a towel in his wardrobe and used it to wrap his hair, he touched his back to see his inner robe wasn't wet so he proceeded to put on the purple robe and rushed to the mirror and after turning around in front of the mirror, he felt the robe was too dull for the palace so he took it off and threw it on the pile of clothes on the floor.

Si Ning checked the rest of the robes in the wardrobe before fishing out a maroon robe and closed the wardrobe door, he walked up to the mirror raising the robe up to his neck and shook his head not satisfied with his pick before flinging it away. He turned back to stand in front of the wardrobe and just like being possessed he first suddenly turned sharply thrice imagining himself as Micheal Jackson, jumping and swiftly flexed his shoulder before resting a hand on the wardrobe door and yanked it open then he started to get more into his dance.

"A little taller than I was before, with a voice a little more solid, all of this to go back to you, now I'll spread wide a map called you, my rehab..."

"Young Master! Young Master!!....."

"Tsk." Si Ning turned sharply to the door, annoyed that his rap was interrupted when it took him so long to learn the rap verse and for once in his lifetime, he was about to rap is so smoothly without reading the lyrics on his phone.

Just as expected Ah Dai rushed in breathing hard and Si Ning wanted to ask why he rushed in and interrupted his song only to see Ah Dai shocked expression.

Si Ning first looked at himself to see he was wearing his inner robe and wasn't naked, then his hair was still wrapped in a towel but looking around, he could see the heap of clothes on the floor, some even scattered around the room which might have caused Ah Dai's shocked expression but it was something the servants could always help Ah Dai to clean the room up so Si Ning wasn't bothered about how rough the room was.

"Young... Mas...ter...." Ah Dai stuttered as he fell on his knees, his eyes wide and if it was a cartoon it would have already bulged out of its sockets.

"Excuse me, General."

Si Ning rolled his eyes getting irritated that now the rap lyrics was messed up in his brain and he would have to take time to recall the lyrics. The door opened to reveal Xiao Pei and he only glanced around the room before meeting Si Ning's eyes.

"General, his Majesty is on his way here, his Majesty and his escorts will be here anytime soon." Xiao Pei reported.

Si Ning brows furrowed then he nodded and shrugged, Xiu Zhicheng coming over means he doesn't have to go to the palace and he only had to get dressed and meet Xiu Zhicheng in the meeting room. He was about to tell Ah Dai to prepare a robe for him when he heard some loud footsteps outside the door.

"General, his Majesty is here!" Jiang Ye made an announcement.

What!

Wasn't Xiu Zhicheng supposed to go to the meeting room? why did he come to his quarters? Why did he arrive now? Did he hear Jiang Ye right? 

Ah Dai quickly jumped to his feet packing all the robes and dropping them confused about what to do as he turned to Si Ning waiting for his order instead of telling Ah Dai what to do Si Ning quickly ran to the bed and jumped on it, drawing the blanket up to his neck as he removed the towel from his head and threw it towards Ah Dai's direction.

It was stupid for him to pretend to sleep and leaving Xiao Pei and Ah Dai in the room he scattered but since he wasn't thinking right all he could do was pretend to sleep.

"Welcome your Majesty, may Your Majesty live for a thousand years.."

Hearing Ah Dai and Xiao Pei greetings made Si Ning quickly shut his eyes knowing he just had to feign being sick as the excuse for not showing up at the court meeting, with this thought Si Ning became so still even after hearing the sound of footsteps approaching him and his heart started to accelerate even though he tried to control it but it was beating so fast he was afraid Xiu Zhicheng would hear it.
