I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or Xia Sheng’s deliberate avoidance. Since he came to the capital, he has never stepped into the palace.

He had no chance before and had not been summoned by the emperor, but later he had been named the crown prince and the Grand Tutor by Emperor Jin. He had the privilege of not accepting the palace, but he never entered the palace to face the saint.

In fact, for Xia Sheng, he didn't want to enter the palace because it was just a very simple reason.

It was not because he was afraid of being sad about the scene and feeling sad for the past years and people, nor because he was worried that he would not be able to suppress the anger in his heart and burn the palace to ashes.

But he didn't want to kneel down to Emperor Jin.

To put it bluntly, in today's world, no one is qualified to bear to kneel down except his father.

Even after Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he gave him the right to face the saint and not kneel down. What is the right now for Emperor Jin to kneel down?

Of course, these words cannot be said explicitly, so Xia Sheng simply chose not to enter the palace.

But he had to go today.

Because he wants to make the last preparation for his trip to the south.

Add the most important chip to yourself.

This is not the first time Xia Sheng has entered the palace, because five hundred years ago, every grass, every brick and tile here was built by him.

But this was Xia Sheng's first time entering the palace in this life, so Qin Xiaohua chose to walk with him.

If someone else is gone, they will definitely be shocked and terrified by this.

After all, Mr. Qin has not even been to court for many years. He will only go to the palace if he really encounters some major festivals, such as sacrifices to heaven, festivals, birthday festivals, etc., or if the emperor summons him personally.

Now that he has been with Xia Sheng to meet the saint himself, I have to say that this is indeed a great honor.

But Xia Sheng didn't think so. After hearing Qin Xiaohua's proposal, he just nodded lightly and said two words: "Okay."

The old man didn't think Xia Sheng was so ungrateful. After all, in terms of age, Qin Xiaohua, as Xia Sheng's great-grandfather, was a little bit willful, and it was no big deal.

What's more, Xia Sheng is still the descendant of an old friend.

Just like what the two of them had talked in the Shantang that day, if Xia Sheng wanted it, the whole Shantang could be given to him, and compared with it, accompanying him into the palace is really a matter of littleness.

But Qin Xiaohua and Xia Sheng can think so, but others don’t know what’s going on. For example, they just walked to the gate of the palace and shocked the imperial guards guarding the gate.

Well, theoretically speaking, Qin Xiaohua's official position in the court was the Minister of Revenue, and he was not allowed to enter the palace privately according to the law. However, these imperial guards who have been in the palace for many years are not fools, so how could he dare to stop Qin Xiaohua's master?

Not only did they not stop them, but the imperial guards on duty rushed to the palace gate at the first time and respectfully welcomed the Qin Shangshu's great deeds.

"I don't know if it was Lord Shangshu coming, and Cai Quan was in a desperate situation to welcome him. I hope Lord Shangshu will forgive him!"

Qin Xiaohua smiled happily and waved her hands repeatedly, "Haha, there is no need to be too polite. I am accompanying Master Juji to the palace to meet the saint. You can order someone to inform me first."

Cai Tongwei couldn't help but look embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Shangshu is really a bit unfortunate today. Your Majesty is now instructing the prince's schoolwork, so I'm afraid he'll have to wait for a while."

"Oh?" Qin Xiaohua smiled and pulled Xia Sheng over and laughed at Cai Quan: "It seems that I think it's a coincidence. Do you know who this adult is waiting?"

Cai Quan had never seen Xia Sheng before, so he could not recognize him. He could only bow to Xia Sheng in a little fear, shook his head and said, "I forgive my uncle for being a little embarrassed."

Xia Sheng did not make things difficult for the other party, and immediately took out the token to enter the palace and said with a smile: "I am Xia Sheng."

Cai Quan hadn't reacted for a while, and was confused: "Dare you dare to be Lord Xia...ah!"

The next moment, Cai Quan suddenly widened his eyes and shouted in shock: "You are the prince's grand magistrate, the imperial priest, Xia Sheng, Lord Xia?"

Xia Sheng shrugged his shoulders gently: "That's right, it's me."

After getting Xia Sheng's confirmation, Cai Quan couldn't help but take a breath and said repeatedly: "It turns out that it is Lord Xia. Please forgive Xia Guan for being neglected before, but Xia Guan never expected that the legendary Lord Xia would be so... so young..."

Xia Sheng was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "It seems that you have really heard of my name?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Quan unconsciously straightened his back and sent the handle of the knife forward two inches, responding: "Although I have an official position and belong to the imperial guards of the court, no matter what, I am also a practitioner! The story of Lord Xia in the Qin family is really well known for his life and death stage!"

Xia Sheng laughed and thought that Cai Tongwei was really a wonderful person. He immediately shook his head and said humbly: "It's just some flashy and false names. In my opinion, it's not as important as the official positions of the Crown Prince and the Imperial Master."

Cai Quan's eyes were slightly stunned. He immediately reacted. He had just said something wrong. He quickly laughed dryly as Xia Sheng said. "Hehe, Lord Xia is saying, he is saying..."

Qin Xiaohua looked at Xia Sheng deeply, then said to Cai Quan: "Okay, stop talking nonsense here. You said that Your Majesty is teaching the prince's schoolwork. Isn't this what Lord Xia should do? That's why I said, today's matter is really a coincidence. You can tell me truthfully, I will just be in the imperial study room."

Qin Xiaohua spoke, but Cai Quan dared not say anything at all. He nodded and said yes. He gave a few more explanations to his soldiers, and then went to the Eastern Palace in person to inform Emperor Jin.

As for Qin Xiaohua, she took Xia Sheng to the direction of the imperial study room.

However, along the way, Xia Sheng had to sigh again: "Mr. Qin, you are walking too slowly. When we arrive, your Majesty will probably be anxious. I will just carry you over."

The few imperial guards next to him almost scared their kidneys as they heard this. Lord Xia is too brave, so he dares to think that Shangshu Qin walked slowly?

No, he probably thinks that his life is too long...

However, what made them even more dumbfounded was that Qin Shangshu actually nodded with a smile and said to Xia Sheng: "Okay, but my body is so heavy, don't shout to be heavy then."

So the next moment, everyone watched Lord Xia carry Qin Shangshu on his back and speed up his progress. Qin Shangshu kept smiling happily, picking up the black jade short stick in his hand from time to time, pointing the way to Lord Xia.

"Turn left, turn left...towards...Oh, I'm going wrong...so stupid!"

Just as everyone smiled bitterly and shook their heads, talking about the two adults who looked like a pair of grandparents from a distance, suddenly someone came towards Xia Sheng, almost colliding with Xia Sheng and Qin Xiaohua.

Seeing this, the imperial guards immediately changed their faces. They knelt on one knee, lowered their heads and said respectfully: "I have met Eunuch Zhao!"
