Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 817: The Scheming Little Emperor x the Cruel and Merciless Regent 6

For several days, Shen Xi trained with the two maids.

Qi Zhi would sometimes sit nearby and watch, but most of the time it was Shen Xi alone.

On the fourth night, Qi Zhi came again.

However, he did not talk to Shen Xi immediately, but instead asked the two maids who were accompanying him.

The two maids were not as snobbish as the servants. They were quite attentive to Shen Xi.

When Qi Zhi asked about the progress, the two maids looked at each other, and Nanny Zhou spoke first: "In reply to your Highness, your Highness is extremely talented and learns things very quickly.

He has mastered the royal etiquette that he has been taught these days, whether it is the etiquette of bowing at the ceremony or the pace of walking, without any error. "

Nanny Chen quickly added, "Your Highness, take the ceremony of holding the jade tablet when ascending the throne that we practiced yesterday. Not only did the young master's postures look standard, but his expression was also dignified and majestic. His every move showed the royal demeanor."

Qi Zhi nodded after hearing this.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Taking care of His Highness is our responsibility, so how can we say it's hard work? If you want to argue about His Highness Xingkong, he gets up early and goes to bed late every day just to practice etiquette, so he is more tired."

After listening to this, Qi Zhi nodded thoughtfully.

"Since you have already practiced, there is no need to practice again. You can go down."

The two maids took orders and bowed and left. Qi Zhi walked towards Shen Xi. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the two of them, outlining two slender silhouettes.

"Your Highness," Qi Zhi's voice broke the silence, "From what Madam said, your etiquette has been perfected. It seems that I underestimated you."

Shen Xi bowed slightly, his expression respectful but calm: "Uncle, thank you for your praise. Thanks to Nanny's careful teaching. I just spent a little more effort."

There were only two of them in the room, and Shen Xi took a few steps closer to him.

"Uncle, besides these etiquettes, do I need to learn anything else?"

"No, I will arrange for a teacher to teach you the rest after the coronation ceremony is completed tomorrow."

"Oh." After hearing his words, Shen Xi was not as happy as Qi Zhi had expected. Instead, his tone was depressed and he seemed unhappy.

Qi Zhi felt a little confused, but didn't care much.

"You have to get up early for the coronation ceremony tomorrow, Your Highness, please go to bed early today."

He turned to leave after he finished speaking, but encountered some resistance.

When I turned around, I found Shen Xi still pulling my sleeve.

"Uncle Emperor... Is my progress in the past few days better than you expected?"

The tone of his voice seemed uncertain, but there was a hint of expectation in it, hoping that the other party would nod and smile at him after hearing these words.

"Indeed, but so what?"

"Can you give me a reward?"

After hearing his request, the puzzled expression on Qi Zhi's face disappeared.

There was no way to hesitate and agreed.

In his eyes, the rewards he wanted to ask for Shen Xi, a boy who was brought from the countryside at the age of 14, were just about food, drink and entertainment.

He can be satisfied with just these.

But the next second he was slapped in the face.

"Uncle, can you stay here with me tonight? Just like...just like the last time it rained."

After saying this, he kept his head down, as if he was very scared to hear the answer from Qi Zhi that he didn't want to hear.

Qi Zhi was also stunned at this moment. He had never thought that the reward Shen Xi hoped for would be this.

He could have refused if he wanted to, but seeing Shen Xi lowering his head, the words of refusal stayed on the tip of his lips but he couldn't say them.

"it is good."

As if possessed by some ingenious spirit, he swallowed all the words of rejection.

His state of mind also underwent some changes.

It was like a hole in the frozen city wall was burned by a raging fire. The ship that had been drifting on the sea for a long time finally found the island hidden in the fog.

Shen Xi wanted to become the person he believed in and treat him as the person he wanted to rely on.

But it seems that there is never only one lonely person.

After Qi Zhi agreed, Shen Xi slowly raised his head, his eyes full of surprise and gratitude. His sparkling eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, which gently plucked Qi Zhi's heartstrings again.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Shen Xi's voice was filled with excitement. He quickly pulled Qi Zhi to sit down beside the bed, as if he was afraid that the other party would go back on his word.

Qi Zhi looked at the excited young man with mixed feelings.

He thought about the years he had spent in the deep palace. Although he seemed extremely powerful, in reality he was just struggling alone in the vortex of power.

The Shen Xi in front of him was somewhat similar to his former self.

"Why do you suddenly want me to accompany you? There was no thunder or rain today, and there were no clouds outside the window. Why are you scared again?" Qi Zhi asked in a nonchalant manner, trying to break the slightly heavy atmosphere.

Shen Xi lowered his head slightly, his fingers unconsciously tugging at the corner of his clothes, and whispered: "When I was in the countryside, I was always alone, whether I was happy or sad, there was no one to share it with.

After returning to the palace, even though I had a new status, I still felt scared and lonely. I only felt safe when my uncle was with me.

As expected, the person who knows him best is Shen Xi, besides himself.

Just one sentence was enough to open his heart again.

"Then I will always be with you from now on."

"Congratulations to the host for increasing the favorability of the main target character to 30%. I hope you will keep up the good work."

The two chatted casually for a few more sentences. As the night deepened, Shen Xi's eyelids began to droop and he felt sleepy.

Qi Zhi sat quietly beside the bed, looking at Shen Xi's sleeping face, his thoughts drifting away.

The next morning, when it was still early and the sky was just beginning to turn pale, the entire palace was already shrouded in a busy atmosphere.

Red candles were shining brightly, palace lanterns were swaying, and the long palace road was covered with red silk, a symbol of auspiciousness. The guards on both sides were wearing brand new armor, holding long spears, with upright postures, standing like sculptures.

Shen Xi stood up surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, who carefully helped him put on the gorgeous dragon robe.

The auspicious patterns embroidered with gold thread sparkle brightly under the candlelight, and the complicated accessories add to the solemnity and majesty.

At the same time, Qi Zhi was also dressing up in his own palace. He was wearing the royal robes and a crown on his head, and his every move showed his dignity and composure.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the glazed tiles of the imperial palace, the bell rang melodiously, announcing the official start of the coronation ceremony.

Accompanied by Qi Zhi, Shen Xi walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony along the long imperial road with steady and powerful steps.

Along the way, civil and military officials knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting "Long live the emperor", their voices resounding through the sky.

Arriving in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Shen Xi turned around and faced everyone. Qi Zhi stood beside him with a solemn expression.

The Minister of Rites read the sacrificial text aloud, praying for the protection of the new emperor and the prosperity of the country. Then, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies slowly walked towards Shen Xi, holding the jade seal symbolizing the imperial power.

Shen Xi took the jade seal with both hands. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be quiet and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

He took a deep breath and said loudly: "From today on, I will work diligently to govern the country and live up to the people of the world and my ancestors!"
