"Princess, you're here. Hurry up and go in. His Royal Highness is already here.”
"Hua 'er, wait outside." When Xia Nian entered, Eunuch Pei helped lift the heavy curtain." Thank you, Eunuch Pei."”
In Chao Huang Palace, Xia Zhao was sitting on a chair reciting his homework. His little head was shaking as he spoke.
"Nian 'er pays respects to Royal Father and Royal Mother.”Xia Nian walked up to him, knelt down, and bowed respectfully.
"Come and sit." Emperor Xia asked Xia Zhao to stop reciting his homework." Yes, he's quite skilled. Grand Tutor Du has both talent and learning. You have to study well with him and master what he has learned in his life.”
"I understand."
In West Asia, every year, the kings of the four kingdoms would head to the imperial city. This was a rule that had been passed down for hundreds of years since the establishment of West Asia. In the beginning, the emperor and the four kings were brothers who fought together for the great cause of the world. However, since more than a hundred years ago, the peace between the four kingdoms and the imperial court had long disappeared, and the flames of war were hidden. Among the four kings, who didn't have ambition and who didn't want to dominate the world? Perhaps Emperor Xia was the only one. Ever since someone in the dynasty predicted the Vermilion Bird's descent, even the peace on the surface could not be maintained.
Emperor Xia really didn't want to go to the Imperial City, especially when the emperor had ordered the four princes to bring the prince there and specifically asked to meet the legendary intelligent Xia Nian.
"Father, why did you call your son over?"
"I asked you to come here because I have something to tell you. Three days later, you and Nian 'er will follow this king north to the imperial capital.”
Xia Nian and Xia Zhao both knew that their father would make a trip to the Imperial Capital every September, but he never brought them along. They didn't know why he brought them along this time. However, due to etiquette, even if they had questions, they could not ask and could only obey.
"I understand."
"In these two days, let this servant help you pack up the things you need to bring. Don't forget anything.”The queen hugged Xia Nian, reluctant to let her daughter leave her side.
The Queen did not understand why the Emperor had specifically asked to see Xia Nian. She only shook her head helplessly when she asked Emperor Xia.
"Mother, don't worry. Nian 'er will take care of herself.”
"Each of you will bring a palace maid and a eunuch. It is not advisable to bring too many people to the Imperial City this time.”Emperor Xia thought about it and felt that something was wrong. He had already sent out a portion of the secret guards in batches to set off in advance and wait in the capital in case of emergency.
"Yes."
After returning to Moon Cherry Hall, Xia Nian decided to take Hua 'er and Xiao Chengzi with her while Fei Chan stayed behind to look after the house. "Three days later, we will go to the Imperial City. Hua 'er and Xiao Chengzi will follow. Fei Chan, you will stay behind to take care of all the affairs of the Moon Cherry Hall.”
"This servant understands."
Xiao Chengzi hadn't been in Moon Cherry Palace for long, only half a year, but he had managed the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner. The reason why he was doing his best to take care of Xia Nian was because the princess had saved his life before. At that time, Xiao Chengzi was on his last breath. He was thrown into a corner of the rockery in the back garden of the palace and was accidentally found by Xia Nian. Only then did Xiao Chengzi realize that not all masters were harsh on their servants.
"This servant will go and prepare the clothes for Master to go out.”
Xia Nian stopped Xiao Chengzi with a smile and said," There are still two days. There's no hurry. Let's talk about it tomorrow."”
Although she had never been to the capital of West Asia, Xia Nian could smell danger before she left. Xia Nian didn't know what the Emperor wanted to do, nor did she want to know. As long as the Emperor didn't harm the Xia family, Xia Nian wouldn't take it to heart. However, Emperor Xia's expression at that moment was still captured by Xia Nian. He was worried.
