Chapter 55
Xia Chixiao's eyes were slightly darker, but his posture did not change at all.Even if he was just standing there, his tall figure and outstanding temperament were still something people couldn't ignore.

After another quarter of an hour, finally, a eunuch came out and said: "Little General Xia, the emperor has announced your entry into the palace!"

Xia Chixiao looked calm, nodded slightly, and walked towards the palace!

The Qinzheng Hall is spacious and bright. Walking in from the palace door, you need to walk more than three feet before arriving in front of the imperial case. Xia Chixiao stopped more than ten feet away from the imperial case and saluted: "See you, Your Majesty. Long live Long live Long live!"

The Qi Sheng Emperor in front of the Imperial Case raised his eyes.

He is in his forties, but as an emperor, he is obviously older than his peers.

Although the emperor is well-dressed and rich, any emperor who is a little more diligent will have a hard time.

Qi Sheng Emperor was not a faint king. There was even a hint of intimidating monarchy in his eyes. He looked at Xia Chixiao who was bowing under the imperial desk and said nothing.

Xia Chixiao could only keep the saluting posture motionless.

After a moment, Qi Sheng Emperor said: "Get straight!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xia Chixiao straightened up.

His expression did not change at all. His handsome face carried the toughness and heroism of a young man, and his straight back was like a lonely pine or a strong bamboo.

Emperor Qi Sheng's eyes fell on him and he asked: "You have been back in Beijing for more than two months, and I asked you to rest temporarily. How are you doing with your rest?"

Xia Chixiao said: "I am in the north, and I am not familiar with the people in the capital. I have learned a lot in these two months!"

Qi Sheng Emperor chuckled: "What did you learn?"

Xia Chixiao selected some of what he had seen and heard during this period. They were quite satisfactory and had no special features, but there was nothing wrong with them either.

The emperor said slowly: "Are you 21 or 22 now?"

"I'm 22 now!"

"At this age, you should have children around your knees. You are still alone, how about I grant you a marriage? Noble lady in the capital, if you have someone you like, you might as well say it and let me make the decision for you!"

Xia Chixiao suddenly raised his eyes and saw the faint smile on Qi Sheng Emperor's lips. He quickly knelt down and said, "Please take back your life, Your Majesty!"

"Why?"

"I have already married a wife in the north. Even though I have arrived in the capital, there is no reason to stop marrying again!"

Qi Sheng Emperor stared at him with his deep eyes: "It seems like you have a lot of intentions!"

"As it should be!"

Qisheng Emperor's face darkened slightly, and he said coldly: "Xia Chixiao, you are so brave. How dare you fool me in front of me?"

Xia Chixiao was puzzled. He raised his head and looked directly at Long Yan: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to fool you!"

"Then let me ask you, is it true that someone accuses you of not cultivating your personal ethics and hiding your beauty in a golden house?"

Xia Chixiao was even more puzzled. He said: "I have never done this!"

The emperor's face turned cold: "Do you need me to remind you about the house in Shengyifang?" He knocked on the few memorials at hand and said: "Look at these, they are all for the sake of supporting you because you are young and have no personal ethics. The outer chamber is a piece of bad news!"

Xia Chixiao understood, and he leaned down: "Your Majesty, I did buy a house in Shengyifang, but it was for my grandmother and wife in the north. The people I sent to pick them up sent back the news, They will arrive in Beijing in the next few days."

The emperor hummed softly: "The Liyanghou Mansion is so big, can't two people live in it?"

Just set aside a yard and it would be enough to live in.

Xia Chixiao said: "Your Majesty, my grandmother has been living in the north. Although she has some relationship with the Liyang Hou Mansion because of me, my grandmother is a strong person and I don't want her to be dependent on others. My grandmother and my late adoptive parents You raised me up, but I don’t want to let her look at others’ faces when I have the ability to arrange a better situation for her!” The emperor glanced at the kneeling young man and said calmly: “Get up!”

Xia Chixiao stood up. Although he lowered his head slightly, his strong bamboo and green pine-like appearance made the emperor feel more appreciative.

The emperor softened his tone and said, "You have been resting for so long, what are your thoughts?"

Xia Chixiao said: "The capital is very different from the northern border. Things are simple in the northern border. I used to be in the army, training soldiers, and practicing with them. That's all. The human exchanges in the capital, I find it very difficult!"

The emperor laughed loudly and said: "You are young, you have made great achievements, and you are the eldest son of the Marquis of Liyang Mansion. After all, you are different from the Northern Territory."

"I understand, I am studying hard!"

The emperor took one look at his serious look and said with a smile: "I know, you are used to military life. In this case, you go to Lengtai Camp and become the deputy commander! Report within seven days!"

The army in the imperial city includes the Longxiang Guards, who are responsible for the security of the palace, also known as the Forbidden Army, the Huwu Guards, who are responsible for the security of the imperial city, the Gyeonggi Guards, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and the city patrol guards.

The Gyeonggi Guard has three camps. One camp is stationed in the imperial city, which is directly called the Gyeonggi Guard. The other two camps are stationed on the outskirts of the city, namely Lengtai and Wuqing camps.

These soldiers and horses guarded the capital and made the capital as stable as an iron barrel.

Xia Chixiao said: "I obey the order!"

The commander of the Gyeonggi Guard is a third-grade general, and he, a second-grade general, becomes the deputy commander of the first battalion. It may seem a bit low, but it is a real military position.

Qi Sheng Emperor smiled and said: "Okay, if nothing happens, just retreat!"

Xia Chixiao said: "I have something to do!"

Qi Sheng Emperor raised his eyes.

Xia Chixiao took out two memorials from his sleeves and handed them over respectfully.

Eunuch Wang, the chief eunuch, hurriedly took it and forwarded it to the Holy Emperor.

Emperor Qi Sheng opened it and took a look, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Xia Chixiao, do you know what kind of trouble your two pieces of information will cause?"

Xia Chixiao was confused and said, "Is there anything wrong with these two statements?"

Qi Sheng Emperor laughed.

Of these two copies, one was a document asking for a royal decree for his adoptive grandmother, and the other was a letter asking for a royal decree for his wife.

The young man under the case in front of him had clear and blank eyes. He rarely showed some interest and said: "There is a grandmother in your house!"

Xia Chixiao said: "I know that I am unfilial to my grandmother in the house by doing this, but my adopted grandmother has experienced the hardships of the war in the north and has not lived a good life. I want to ask for a title for her first!"

Emperor Qi Sheng asked again: "Your mother has not yet been granted the imperial title, but you want to apply for the title for your wife first?"

Xia Chixiao said calmly: "My wife comes from the countryside in the north. She has been wandering around for three years. She must have experienced the hardships of life and dare not look up to a high family. I request a title for her. I hope that after she comes to the capital, she will be blessed with the emperor's grace." Confidence and confidence!”

Emperor Qi Sheng understood. This boy was thoughtful and paved the way for his wife before she even arrived in the capital.

He was rarely curious: "If I don't summon you, will you hand over these two envelopes?"

Xia Chixiao said: "I'll deliver it!" However, it would take a lot of time to go through the normal route, not so fast.

The emperor smiled and said: "Yes!"
