Kill the sadistic male protagonist and become the emperor

Ren Baozhi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. She touched her nose and asked, "Princess, are you satisfied with this gift?"

"We'll know after two fights." As soon as he finished speaking, a cold knife came towards him through the air.

No, are you coming?

Ren Baozhi dodged hurriedly, feeling speechless. She was already tired, and even if she had to compete, she should at least prepare herself mentally. It was really scary if it always started so suddenly, okay?

Even though he was thinking this, his words were impeccable: "The princess is quite quick."

Li Qixi seemed to see through her thoughts: "In the world of martial arts, the only thing that cannot be broken is speed."

The long swords clashed, and this time Li Qixi obviously let him off the hook. The two fought from the yard to the roof.

The crescent moon was like a line, reflecting the fight between swords and figures.

This time, the two of them pointed their long swords at each other's chests at the same time.

Ren Baozhi was sweating profusely. She retracted her sword and bowed to Li Qixi. Her breath was unsteady, but her tone couldn't hide her excitement: "Thank you, Princess, for your guidance."

There was another clang, and Li Qixi sheathed his sword. "This is my thank you gift for your sword. It's a good one."

She sat on the roof and took off the sword from her waist: "Compared with your knife, this thing is just for show."

Ren Baozhi sat down beside Li Qixi, propped up one leg, and looked at the crescent moon in the sky: "Princess, have you been busy with official duties recently?"

"Well, the court has been arguing over the issue of the crown prince for a while now, and it seems to be getting more intense." Li Qixi also imitated the way Ren Baozhi supported himself with one leg, leaning back slightly. "Not only that, the location and construction of the girls' school also require my decision."

Ren Baozhi lowered her eyelashes, held her chin in her hand and looked at her: "It's really hard for you to be a princess."

"Hmm," Li Qixi replied calmly, then looked at Ren Baozhi and smiled, "Your eyes are quite dark and bruised. I'm afraid you're much more tired than I am."

Ren Baozhi hardly ever looks in the mirror, so she has no idea that she has dark circles under her eyes. No wonder Jiangchun always asks her to rest more recently.

But how could she rest?

The system's tasks, the business deadline, and even one's own life are all urgent.

She had to squeeze her time desperately. She used to be the one who would clamor to the Education Bureau to report the school for forced tutoring every day, but now in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, she had become so inward-looking.

Ren Baozhi didn't answer, but just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Li Qixi knew she was tired and said, "You can hold off a bit on the girls' school textbooks. If we build it according to your design, I'm afraid it will take quite a while. But we need to hurry up with the newspaper. The court is in turmoil right now, and my mother has worked so hard to gain the power to rule the country. We can only take this opportunity to do more of what we want to do, right?"

She looked towards the moon, her voice somewhat melancholy. "They're so eager to establish a crown prince now, simply to establish a successor for Li Yaozu and force A Niang to return her political power. If A Niang is forced to return power, let alone my girls' school, I'm afraid you won't be able to run your newspaper either."

Ren Baozhi didn't take her eyes off Li Qixi's face: "Is the girls' school the princess's idea or the Queen's idea?"

"Why can't it mean that we are together?"

Ren Baozhi nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will present all the blueprints of the girls' school to the princess."

"Didn't you say you would use the blueprint to exchange for three months of peace for you at home?" Li Qixi asked with a smile.

Ren Baozhi stood up and brushed the dust off her skirt. "If you want to find a place for women in this impenetrable patriarchal society, now is indeed a good time. As the princess said, although I am just a commoner, I also want to contribute my little bit to the women of this world."

"Besides," she changed the subject, "I don't think this princess's mansion is peaceful."

Li Qixi also stood up, his posture straight and straight: "What do you mean?"

A cold wind suddenly blew up, blowing up several dead branches on the roof.

"It's not a big deal, but I always feel like someone is secretly watching me. Even though I'm in the princess's mansion, I can't escape the feeling of being watched." Ren Baozhi crossed her arms and rubbed them, her smile not quite sincere. "Princess, tell me, what's going on?"

Li Qixi responded naturally: "Perhaps you have been too tired recently, causing you to be restless. It's just an illusion."

"Really?" Ren Baozhi looked at Li Qixi, suddenly smiled, and bowed to say goodbye. "I hope so."

Only Li Qixi was left on the eaves, standing with his hands behind his back and a knife in his hand.

Another gust of wind blew.

Ever since that night's long conversation, Li Qixi became Ren Baozhi's exclusive sparring partner. Whenever he had time, Li Qixi would rest in the princess's residence, and the two would practice swordplay together and talk about the school newspaper, family, country and the world.

As time went by, sometimes when Li Qixi talked about the affairs of the court, he would also complain to himself about Li Yaozu, his two younger brothers, and the group of old ministers in the court.

Ren Baozhi just listened carefully at first, but in her heart she had already cursed these bastards a thousand times.

Later, after receiving repeated assurances from Li Qixi, she began to criticize the man verbally, speaking fluently and incessantly, without repeating a word.

Only then did Li Qixi realize how strong the attack power of Ren Baozhi was on men. "Daddy", "little dick", "selling dick", "castrated heart"...

She thought it was too vulgar when she first heard it, but later she found that these words were really suitable to scold Li Yaozu.

Although the royal etiquette she was taught since childhood made it impossible for her to utter these words, from then on, whenever Li Yaozu showed off his power in front of her, Li Qixi would think of what Ren Baozhi said: "You little bastard, you sell out the ditch."

There was just one thing that no one mentioned again tacitly.

Gui Muxin's team consists of strong women who work efficiently and carefully. In addition, people like Ren Baozhi also go to the shop to help every day. By the day before New Year's Eve, most of the shop had been decorated.

Seeing that New Year's Eve was approaching, Yundu settled all the accounts clearly and gave the money to Gui Muxin in time, asking them to go home and have a good New Year first, and then renovate the shop together next year.

Because Ji Jianxue was young and couldn't stand the noise and smell of the renovation, Ren Baozhi turned down Ji Pingyue and his mother's kindness in helping her decorate the shop.

Come to think of it, I haven’t seen it for more than half a month since I bought the horse.

Ren Baozhi wanted everyone to get to know each other, so she invited Ying Buhuan and his mother to go to Ji Bujin's house to celebrate New Year's Eve together.

Ying Hele and his mother happily went there. In Ying Buhuan's words, "If someone treats you, you'd be a jerk not to take advantage of it."

As a princess of the Ming Dynasty, Li Qixi had to go to the palace to celebrate the New Year with her mother and father on New Year's Eve, so Ren Baozhi was not invited.

The crowd first went to the butcher shop, fish shop, and fruit shop to raid the place, filling up several carriages before driving to their destination.
