Although Xie Shi is a military general, he is also mixed with the court, and he naturally understands this kind of perfunctory words. Although he didn't know his daughter's behavior yet, Xia Wanhua and Rong Zhao's purpose had already been guessed by him.

Although he resigned, he was forced to do so, but he still cared about the world in his heart. So he had a good conversation with Xia Wanhua and Rong Zhao, and left the two of them for lunch.

During this period, Xie Xiaoying, the daughter of Xie Qi, came to deliver refreshments.

Xia Wanhua looked at Xie Xiaoying, with heroic eyebrows and eyes, and she was not a person who dragged mud and water.

"Sister Xie, if you have time to go to the Xia Mansion for a small gathering. Wanhua has no relatives, lives alone in Xia Mansion, and is also lonely. Sister Xie often comes and goes, and it is also lively. ”

Rong Zhao on the side almost exploded when he heard this, tried his best to suppress himself, and calmly tasted the tea.

"Late Hua Gongzi can't be vain, I'm a straight man, I will take it seriously." After Xie Xiaoying finished speaking, her eyes swept over Rong Zhao.

Xia Wanhua smiled faintly. "I'm a person who does whatever he wants. Sister Xie is really temperamental, and Wanhua will naturally not be vain. ”

The devil believes you! Rong Zhao couldn't help but scold.

Little girl, real little woman!

Rong Zhao on the side can't wait to ask Xia Wanhua now, didn't he say that he is not a human trafficker!

Xie Xiaoying glanced at Rong Zhao, and saw the resistance in Rong Zhao's eyes, and her heart was a little cold.

"Then I'll visit you another day. I'll quit first. ”

Rong Zhao watched her, and it wasn't until the door was closed that he felt relieved, and he smiled and talked about the war with Xie Qi.

Back to Xia Mansion in the afternoon, Xia Wanhua and Rong Zhao went back to their rooms. When they were about to separate, Xia Wanhua asked Rong Zhao all the way: "Do you want to start a family?" ”

Rong Zhao was stunned when he was asked, and a little evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth in an instant: "If you are willing to marry, I will start a family." ”

"Think beautifully." Xia Wanhua glanced at it fiercely and went back to the room to rest.

After a few days of peace, Rong Zhao finally took the results and went to Xia Wanhua.

It turned out that after the last battle, he found that Xia Wanhua's soldiers had many deficiencies. He pondered it, sorted out the situation, and handed it to Xia Wanhua to see.

Xia Wanhua suddenly lost confidence in her heart after reading it. asked Rong Zhao softly: "Is it really that bad?" ”

Rong Zhao knew she didn't believe it. He recounted the situation of his war with the Mobei people.

"So what do we do?"

Rong Zhao pondered for a moment. "With our current strength, it is difficult for us to protect ourselves. It is necessary to have sufficient troops, and it is necessary to build a bloody army. You haven't dealt with the cavalry of Mobei, they are really not afraid of death. There is really no ambiguity in the ups and downs of knives on the battlefield. That's really the division of tigers and wolves. ”

Xia Wanhua nodded after listening. Her previous thoughts were all on rebuilding Kunze City, and she really neglected the construction of the army. Only when there is military power can there be royal power.

"I'm going to let Prime Minister Xu Li Kun Zecheng do political affairs. As for you, help me train my troops. I need a sword to defend Kunze City in the future. ”

"Just hold on to Kunze City?" The fox eye threw Xia Wanhua an indescribable look.

Xia Wanhua smiled but did not speak.

The two of them talked about the current war between Xu Qingfang and Zhou Changhuai.

"I heard that the Hechu Zhuang family had no choice but to stand on the side of the Xu family because of Zhuang Wanhua's involvement." Xia Wanhua hugged her arms and shook her body slowly. "Morally, the Xu family has the upper hand."

"Wanhua, do you regret giving that edict to Xu Qingfang?"

"Regrets? Why regret it? Xia Wanhua smiled weirdly. He only temporarily gained the moral upper hand. The edict was nothing but a forgery from me. When the time comes, I will take out the real edict, who do you think is the one who is being criticized by the world? ”

"You're too insidious! Treacherous! Treacherous! Rong Zhao grinned, looking pained. Little woman, it's shameless to turn your face! ”

"You talk nonsense!" Xia Wanhua unconsciously raised her hand and pinched Rong Zhao's face.

When Xia Wanhua withdrew his hand, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately stood up with his head down and walked to the library on the second floor with small steps, waving his hand at Rong Zhao without turning his head. "You go back to Yu Donghai to study the matter of recruitment."

The fox squinted and stared at the person on the second floor, before he stood up, stood at the top of the stairs, and shouted at the top: "Then I'll go first!" ”

Xia Wanhua stood in front of the window, watching the wide back out of the courtyard through the crack in the window, and she lowered her head to look at her hands. "Isn't it idle!" With that, his left hand clapped his right hand.

At dinner, Xia Wanhua deliberately avoided Rong Zhao and sat alone in the boudoir and ate a few bites.

In fact, Xia Wanhua has been thinking about her relationship with Rong Zhao.

At present, it seems that Rong Zhao is not bad and can take on great responsibilities. But in the matter of women, Xia Wanhua has some concerns. If a man can't control the lower half of his body, it is easy to have an accident. Besides, the husband she wants to recruit is not simply to carry a family, but a force. Character must be good.

Xia Wanhua thought of Xu Li again. It would be great if he didn't have the surname Xu!

She didn't care, but everyone else did. If she wants to get together with Xu Li, unless she gets rid of the forces behind her. But without the support of the forces behind her, how could she gain a foothold in the Xu family. The Xu family may not accept her with nothing. So she and Xu Li had no results.

Hey, I'm a little upset.

After lunch. Xia Wanhua called Yu Donghai and Rong Zhao. She asked Yu Donghai to prepare a hundred iron guards and hand them over to Rong Zhao.

A hundred iron guards stood in front of the gate of the Xia Mansion, attracting many people to stop and watch. Rong Zhao put on the silver shuttle armor and looked at the iron guard with a high spirit. The people around couldn't help but keep their eyes on Rong Zhao. His appearance was so outstanding that it made the girls blush, and the corners of their eyes sneaked away.

After a while, Yu Donghai accompanied Xia Wanhua out of the Xia Mansion, got on the horse and went straight to Qiankun Palace.

The gate of the Holy Emperor Gate of Qiankun Palace, which had been closed for six years, slowly opened in front of Xia Wanhua.

Suddenly, memories came back to me.

The Holy Emperor's Gate, which will only be opened on the day of the enthronement of the Great Xia Emperor, is the first step in the enthronement ceremony of each emperor of Great Xia. Three Dynasty Whips, Six Book Rites, Nine Orders of Worship, she knelt behind the Holy Emperor's Gate back then, and welcomed her imperial uncle step by step into the Holy Emperor's Gate and sat on the throne of the Great Xia Emperor.

Today, she is going to step into the Holy Emperor's Gate with an iron horse like this, trampling on the glory of her ancestors. She is a sinner of the Shen family! But she doesn't care, the sins of today will be washed away with glory in the future! Let the world remember the surname "Shen" again!

Entering the Holy Emperor's Gate, Xia Wanhua took people straight to the Inner Palace, Fenghua Palace.

This is the dormitory of the Empress of Great Xia, and it is also the place where Xia Wanhua once lived. There used to be a good life here, which Xia Wanhua has never forgotten. Her imperial uncle and aunt raised her single-handedly, cared for her, and felt sorry for her. She's like a real princess.

Xia Wanhua pursed her lips, tried to collect her emotions, turned over and dismounted, and entered the Fenghua Hall accompanied by Rong Zhao.

"Lord Yu, let everyone block the Fenghua Palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Yes!" With a wave of Yu Donghai's hand, the iron guard immediately sealed the Fenghua Palace.

Xia Wanhua glanced around and took Rong Zhao to the East Side Hall.
