The temperature difference between day and night in the early spring in the northwest of Great Xia is still very large, when there is no sunshine, the wind that comes from the north and passes through the first male city of the vast land of Shenzhou, with a little cold.

Although the night was deep and dewy, the entire Shenjing City was not completely plunged into darkness.

In the big city, a little light, like fireflies flying around in the dark, is dotted with stars, exuding a light like stars, and through the candle shadows above the doors and windows, you can see the scholars in the inner room who are reading at night.

The Great Dynasty Trial of the Great Xia Imperial Court is about to start in the near future, so the scholars from the thirty-six states are making the final sprint at this time, wanting the carp to jump over the Dragon Gate, cross the Heavenly Gate, and directly take this opportunity to enter the Great Xia Temple.

Although it is difficult to produce noble sons from the Hanmen since ancient times, since the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, whether it is the Great Dynasty Examination for participating in the official career, or the selection of martial arts after joining the army, or the teaching of the Great Xia Academy, they have been committed to providing a way for the Hanmen to be promoted, which is also the concept of Zhao Yuzhishi.

In April, Shenjing City was quiet and quiet, but also with a deep restlessness, because the imperial court at this time was fighting a diplomatic war, and it was open on the same front, and the scale was extremely huge.

Every household in Shenjing City has more or less relatives who are killing the enemy on the front line, so in the middle of the night, tossing and turning, it is difficult to sleep, but earlier today, the news of a great victory came from Xijiang, which made the women in Shenjing City relax a little, but at night, this mind became active again.

If my man returns from the western frontier, what reward will he get?

Is it possible to be promoted to lieutenant by virtue of military merits?

It would be nice if he could be promoted, so that not only could he get a large amount of court subsidies with him, but he could also be called the captain when he went out.

Thinking about it, these infinite thoughts and expectations all converged in one place and floated into the sky above Shenjing City, forming a kind of fireworks called the world.

The taste of the world is refreshing!

Sometimes, this faint anticipation of tomorrow is the best taste.

The summer hall of the White Emperor's Palace, the slightly burning candle flame flickered, exuding a faint light, perhaps under the influence of the old queen mother, I don't know when, every time Zhao Yu went on an expedition, Rouge also liked to light a lamp not far from the head of the bed, and then when it was difficult to sleep, look at it and think quietly.

The orange light shone on Rouge's quiet and soft face, as if shining on a piece of mutton fat jade, and then Rouge gently leaned her body on the soft cushion behind her back, and stretched out her right hand to gently caress the pregnant belly that bulged outward.

Then a soft knock on the door sounded from outside, and Rouge came back to his senses and said softly:

"Come in!"

The voice of rouge fell, the door of the apse of the summer palace was gently pushed open, and Bai Zhining, who was dressed in white palace clothes, slowly stepped in from the outside, and after carefully closing the door of the palace, he slowly came to the bed, and after adding some grease to the lamp, he said softly:

"At this time, the night is late, the mother is pregnant, and it is time to rest. ”

"Actually, this palace has already woken up from sleep and woken up several times, and at this time, somehow, it is difficult to sleep. ”

After the gentle response came out, Rouge raised the corners of his mouth to show a smile, and then looked at Bai Zhining, who had finished adding lamp oil on the side, and continued to speak:

"You came in so late to see if the palace had fallen asleep, but there was new news from Your Majesty's side?"

"Niangniang is really like a god, according to the people of Si Tianjian, all the officials above the fourth rank in the entire Great Xia, whether they are in the Shenjing City or not, whether they are asleep or not, etc., were all called up by His Majesty, and they were teleported to the Extreme North Snow Field overnight. ”

Bai Zhining, who responded under the faint light of orange, had a more delicate face, and then Rouge heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Since I have called all the officials over, it means that the matter of the Extreme North Snow Field is almost over, at least there is no danger, but Your Majesty has always acted with a purpose, and he even summoned hundreds of officials late at night, presumably there must be a discovery that is enough to shock the whole world, which is really worrying. ”

Rouge's gentle voice sounded in the apse of the summer palace, Bai Zhining, who was standing in front of the bed, looked at Rouge with a little worry on his face, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.

But this is obviously not an easy task, but now, at least in Bai Zhining's eyes, whether it is wisdom, cultivation or bearing, Rouge is a perfect and impeccable emperor.

Then, just as Bai Zhining was thinking, the door of the inner hall of the summer palace was opened again, and a round-faced, extremely delicate and cute girl first poked her head into the hall to take a look, and then the whole petite figure trotted all the way into the hall, making a gentle knocking sound.

"Ruyue, you ran in such a hurry, but did the little guy in Yueji cry again?"

After Rouge's gentle inquiry sounded, Ruyue, whose face was a little anxious and red, shook her head violently, then picked up the fold she was holding in her hand and handed it out, and said hurriedly:

"Back to the queen mother, it's not Xiao Yueji, but Your Majesty, Your Majesty sent a letter back from the extreme northern snow field, and I want to give it to my mother!"

Rouge heard this, his eyes lit up, he stood up slightly, reached out and took the fold in Ruyue's hand and opened it, and then the careful Bai Zhining waved his hand forward, and the candles that were originally extinguished in the entire hall were all lit up in the next moment, making the entire inner hall instantly brighten.

Under the light, Rouge lowered her head to check the letter, she read it very carefully, almost every word and sentence carefully, after a long time, Rouge finished reading, and then sat quietly for a while, and suddenly sighed.

"Mother?"

Bai Zhining raised his feet and stepped forward, and gently let out a worried question, and then Rouge shook his head and responded:

"This palace is fine, just sighing, a person who has always been like a brother, but gradually drifting away, although this palace understands that everything in the world, there are gains and losses, and also knows that there are too many things in the world that cannot be both, but now there is a faint uneasiness in my heart. ”

After Rouge finished speaking, Bai Zhining and Ruyue on the side looked even more puzzled, and then Rouge smiled reluctantly at the two of them again, and continued to speak:

"When you follow Your Majesty and almost become a symbol of the entire Great Xia and the Human Race, every little thing around you has become no longer a trivial matter, and this palace is uneasy because I am afraid that because of me, it will bring a burden to Your Majesty and Great Xia.

"Dad once said that the sooner a person knows what he wants to do, the less likely he will go astray, and once the starting point is too high, but it is difficult to recognize himself, then it is often easy to forget his original intention, which is a variable that may arise because of this palace, and it is also the source of my sudden uneasiness. ”
