Shao Mingyi either quietly accompanied Chu Dieyi or talked to her about things on the battlefield.
Chu Dieyi deliberately inquired about Imperial Court affairs from Shao Mingyi, especially concerning the Imperial Court officials. It had already been almost a year, yet there was still no progress with the Chu family's affairs. She couldn't help but feel anxious and hoped to get some information from Shao Mingyi, occasionally offering him some suggestions on military training—however, she would say it was from reading books or something she remembered hearing from elders in the past.
