Cunning General Si Ning Chapter 136
Advertisement
Si Ning was presented with a simple breakfast but he had no appetite yet he picked up his chopsticks to pick up part of the boiled egg and for some reason, he wanted to throw up but he forced himself to swallow, he couldn't afford to look at the food anymore so he waved his hands to indicate the food should be taken away and avoided Ah Dai's gaze because he doesn't want to see his worried look.
After dressing up in his Official uniform, Si Ning allowed Ah Dai to tie his belt and adjust his robes then he took his seat in front of the large mirror, he was satisfied his room was now spacious and Ah Dai had even arranged all the room to feel like home even the small painting in his room at the Si residence was now hanged in his new room, the cloisonné vase too was on the table so he had no complaints because Ah Dai made the room to feel a bit like home.
Even though Si Ning didn't sleep throughout the night, his face was still bright and only a person that would come very close to him would be able to notice that he looked a bit tired, and to cover it all up Ah Dai applied layers of powder to make Si Ning's face look brighter and to complete the look, he took rouge and applied it on the lips softly and he did a great job in making Si Ning's face look so natural even the rouge applied no his lips also seemed natural that it would be hard for anyone to notice Si Ning wore makeup.
"Young Master, should Ah Dai also call you King Consort?" Ah Dai asked as he took the brush and started brushing out Si Ning's hair.
"No." Si Ning replied as his eyes trailed his hair and he noticed his hair seemed a bit longer when Ah Dai raises it and moved backward to brush it out, the length almost unnoticeable but he would only be able to confirm after standing.

"What will Young Master like the Imperial chef to make?" Ah Dai asked applying oil to the front edges of Si Ning's hair.
"I want juice, mixed iced fruits juice and I will eat later." Si Ning said after a while of thinking of different varieties of food he could ask of but he wasn't interested in eating any of them so he could only ask for a fruit drink to not worry Ah Dai.
"Yes, Young Master." Ah Dai nodded as he styled Si Ning's hair into a half ponytail. Inserting a small golden diadem and the dragon-shaped golden hairpin into it.
The Official uniform was a bit dull but the flashy jewelry on Si Ning's head made him look regal and Si Ning would be part of the Imperial family soon so he had no complaint even when Ah Dai started to braid just a strand of his hair and even started to clip small golden hair clips to it to the tip.
When Ah Dai was done, Si Ning stood up and turn just to see his hair and he was able to confirm it was longer because his hair was now long past his waist. He had never let his hair grow to pass his shoulders so he had no idea that his hair could grow that long. It was Ah Dai who was always taking care of his hair so Si Ning couldn't help but to love his silky hair, he imagined the hair dyed in white and the image conjured in his mind made him smile but fell when he realized even though If there was dye in this era, the white dye might not exist and if it does exist then it would be weird for a General like him to dye his hair just because he wanted to.
"Give me my hand fan." Si Ning sighed as he waved his hand to clear his thoughts, he waited for Ah Dai to shuffle around and came back with his hand fan. He had no idea if it was proper to take a hand fan to the court but it was a folded hand fan that wouldn't stand out and it was better to hold something than to just walk in empty-handed.

Si Ning exit the room, he started heading out not even taking a glance at the servants on the row bowing to him. He only nodded at Xiao Pei who was waiting outside the gate with four guards and bearers beside the flashy palanquin.
From Si Ning's calculation he doesn't think the courtroom was that far so he started heading over ignoring the palanquin because riding in a flashy palanquin like that was too conspicuous, he doesn't care what the others might think of him riding the palanquin to the court assembly but he doesn't want to stand out like he was screaming everyone should notice him and make him have the appearance of the Elephant in the room.
Since Xiao Pei didn't say a word, Si Ning confirmed he was definitely walking in the right direction but then he suddenly stopped because he noticed he was being followed by more than necessary so he turned to see Yang Shen, Ah Dai with six servants. Xiao Pei and three guards.
Si Ning took a deep breath. "Yang Sheng and Ah Dai come with me and the rest of you Servants can leave." He gestured with his hand.
The servants all looked confused as they started looking at one another before directing their gaze to Yang Sheng, their eyes beseeching.
"But King Consort, all these servants are at your disposal, we Servants are here to attend to your needs." Yang Sheng stepped forward cautiously, his hands in his sleeves as he bowed to show his respect.
"Ah Dai can do that and if he can't then he can ask for the Servants assistance." Si Ning told Yang Sheng. He doesn't need many servants following him and he was still a General, having lots of male Servants accompany him doesn't look good to him.
"Young Master I can do it." Ah Dai said quickly.
"King Consort...."
What now?
Si Ning was a bit shock to see all the Servants called him in a weird pleading manner as they all started to fall to their knees and even kowtowed, It was only Yang Sheng that didn't kowtow but he knelt at the front, his hands on the floor, his head bowed.
"We beg you, King Consort, let them serve you because his Majesty might bestow punishment on them!" Yang Sheng said loudly.
"We beg you King Consort!" The Servant chorused.
Si Ning sighed, no matter what he doesn't want more than five men following him. "Don't worry, I will discuss it with his Majesty so you don't get punished." He turned because he had no more to say.
Dealing with the unreasonable side of Ah Dai was difficult and now it seemed like he would be dealing with more unreasonable Servants.
To avoid wasting time, Si Ning started walking to the court meeting. He turned his head sideways to confirm if he was still being followed by the bunch even though he had no idea of how to deal with the situation if they were but he was relieved to notice just Xiao Pei and the three guards following him along with Yang Sheng and Ah Dai who was holding an umbrella. Si Ning could guess the umbrella was handed over to Ah Dai by a Servant so he had no complaint and when they found themselves at the bottom steps leading to the courtroom. Si Ning felt proud of himself that he didn't miss his way and was right about the meeting room being close.
