Irritated
It had been two weeks since Si Ning had been attending the court assembly because he could not feign being sick anymore. He started attending the court meeting after reading all the books about the Military Ah Dai brought for him. He studied the books alongside the books about the governance of the Nation to avoid making a mistake in case he was being called upon in the court assembly but to his disappointment, most times he only stood there beside Shao Lang without saying a word while the other government Officials read their daily report to the Emperor and after, Xiu Zhicheng would say few words.
Since Si Ning started attending the court meetings, he noticed there was always tension in the air, most of the Officials being quiet and the one's turn to speak were always careful with their words acting as if Xiu Zhicheng would off their head with a slight mistake while the ones that made any slight mistake would quickly kowtow and ask for forgiveness.
