The emperor did not sleep that night.
Today in the Changning Hall study room, he sent everyone out, took off his shoes and stepped on the map with Lin Jiyun.
Lin Jiyun pointed at the map and talked to him all day long, until his voice became hoarse.
He was so negligent that he didn't even think of having someone bring in some throat tea.
Of course Xie Ning would not know that what his uncle and the emperor were talking about were not interesting stories about local customs or what he had seen and heard during the journey.
Xie Ning probably couldn't even think of the things he said.
"Since the northwest battle in the second year of Yuanchang, Yuanhu was defeated.
The old khan of Yuanhu died of serious injuries.
He died just before winter in the second year of Yuanchang.
His seven sons have been fighting intermittently to compete for the position of khan.
During the battle, three of them were young and had long been killed in a fratricide.
The eldest son of the old Khan was killed by his warriors.
The fourth son moved north with a group of his men, while the second son and the third son each took their own territory.
He took a piece of territory and established himself as the new Khan.
Zhongyuan didn't know any of this news.
"The locals call one of them Shannan Khan and the other Shanbei Khan.
The two territories are separated by a Yanying Mountain in Yuanhu."
"The life of the Yuanhu people is very difficult.
According to them, compared with a few decades ago, there are fewer and fewer pastures for grazing, and winters are getting colder and colder.
A large number of livestock and people die every winter.
They say it again and again Robbery can only quench hunger and thirst for a while.
They will eventually move south one day and wield their swords to harvest the crops and wealth of the Central Plains people. " When he thought of this, it was as if there was a sharp sword hanging above his head, and the emperor could not close his eyes.
Xie Ning has fallen asleep.
When she sleeps, she often curls up her legs and almost curls up into a ball.
The emperor had discovered this before.
At first, he thought that Xie Ning felt cold, the quilt was not warm enough, or the earth dragon was not burning well.
Later he discovered that it was not for those reasons.
Xie Ning may be feeling uneasy, even in his dream.
She was probably still scared.
After all these things, even the emperor would be frightened when he thinks about it, let alone Xie Ning.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that the two of us were in the same boat.
External troubles are eyeing us, and internal worries are entangled.
Although the emperor is the emperor, he cannot act as he pleases.
Xie Ning's incident made him see clearly those people in the court and palace who had always been ambitious.
Lin Jiyun's arrival also told him that Yuan Hu, thousands of miles away, was sharpening his sword and preparing his troops.
The second prince must have woken up, as the emperor heard the faint sound of a baby.
He couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply put on his clothes and walked over to see the second prince with his shoes on.
The palace people standing in front of the door and the little eunuch guarding the door all knelt down.
The wet nurse had breastfed the second prince and bowed quickly when the emperor came in.
"Is he asleep?"
"Back to the Emperor, not yet."
The emperor stretched out his hand, and the wet nurse quickly handed the second prince to him.
The second prince had slept well, had a full stomach, and had just changed his diaper.
He was currently at his best, looking at the person holding him with his big eyes.
When the emperor looked at him, he felt his heart melting.

This is his son.
The second prince looks different every day and grows every day.
This growth pleased the emperor and left him in awe.
Everyone was born and raised this way, including him.
Everyone has to go through life, old age, illness and death.
He knows that one day he will lie in the imperial mausoleum, but it doesn't matter, he has a son, his surname, his bloodline, and his legacy will continue.
Others may not believe it, but it has been eight years since the emperor ascended the throne.
Before the birth of the second prince, only three children were born in the palace.
Two were still sick and half-dead, relying on medicine to nurture them.
Only one, Princess Yuyao, was in good health.
Is it the problem of those women or the emperor himself?
The emperor just held the second prince and sat in front of the window, lost in thought.
It wasn't until the second prince fell asleep at some point that he handed the child back to the wet nurse.
It's almost dawn.
When the emperor put on his clothes and walked out of the palace gate, the eastern sky was filled with a grayish white color.
This palace is still sleeping, with many palaces and gates.
The people living in this palace city are still sleeping and have not woken up.
The chill spread from the soles of my feet, the breeze carried the dampness, the night dew was heavy, and my clothes were covered with a layer of dampness.
It was like he was the only one in the world who was awake, sober as never before.
This world is plagued by internal and external troubles.
The situation on the day of the coronation ceremony is still vivid in my mind, as clear as what happened yesterday.
Closing his eyes, he seemed to still be able to hear the drumming that day.
He was so high-spirited at that time, thinking that he had become the master of this country.
But then he gradually understood, day by day, that this country was a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Every step he took had to be thought through, and every step he took was full of obstacles.
There was a time when he really understood why his father behaved in such a rebellious manner.
Days like this are repeated one day, two days, one year, two years.
Sometimes the emperor listens to those people who are united against dissidents during the court meeting, holding up the banner of morality, etiquette and righteousness, doing invisible things, Countless times, I wanted to raise a case and have them all dragged out and beaten to death with sticks.
But he still had to be patient.
The emperor is a loner.
From the moment he ascended the throne, there is no one to share his joys, sorrows and joys.
There is no one to tell what is in his heart.
He cannot truly and completely trust everyone around him.
He began to miss the things before he ascended the throne.
He was studying with a group of clan members.
During the hottest summer, the study was too hot to stay in.
They sneaked out quietly and played horseback riding games behind the Changming Palace.
He fought for it every time.
I want to be a general, because a general has the most freedom and can run wherever he wants.
The exposed skin was hot due to the sun.
When I lay down at night, I felt very hot.
I knew I was sunburned but didn't dare to say it for fear that my mother would scold me.
But the past will never come back.
The emperor heard the sound of soft footsteps behind him.
Xie Ning rubbed his eyes and came out of the palace, wearing a long gown and holding a thick cloak in his hand.

"It's not yet dawn, why did the emperor get up so early?"
She yawned and said, "It's cold and dewy, so I don't put on more clothes.
What should I do if I catch a cold?"
The emperor took her extended hand.
She probably just got up from the soft quilt, her hands were warm and soft, and she had a warm fragrance on her body.
"Why did you wake up?"
Xie Ning put the cloak on him and stood up on tiptoes to tie the laces: "I slept for a while yesterday afternoon and woke up just now.
Why is the emperor standing here?"
"I went to see the Second Prince and came out to take a breath."
Xie Ning could tell that the emperor was worried.
But the emperor's concerns must be national affairs.
If you tell her, she probably doesn't understand the details and can't share the emperor's worries.
"It's going to be daybreak."
The emperor held her hand and stood on the stone steps in front of the palace door, nodded and said, "Yes, it's going to be daybreak."
Then they said nothing and stood there quietly watching.
The eastern sky was getting brighter and brighter, the gray gradually turned into warm orange, and the sun rose like a duck egg yolk.
The emperor was filled with emotions, but when he saw Xie Ning's expression, he knew that she was completely different from what he thought.
"What's wrong" Xie Ning said with some regret: "I haven't eaten salted duck eggs for a long time.
My aunt and Fang Shanggong won't let me eat them."
She likes to use salted duck eggs to make porridge, especially the egg whites that she usually doesn't like to eat.
Delicious.
The emperor took a deep breath, feeling that the topic was still a bit twisted, and exhaled for a long time, and then turned his concern for the country, the people, and the country to the tea, rice, oil, salt, and salted duck eggs.
As an emperor, you should be generous and give the word "accurate" to your beloved concubine's trivial request.
But the month was still a few days short of being full, so the emperor could only say heroically: "Just bear with me for a few more days, and I'll have a full moon banquet for you to eat to your heart's content."
Although the emperor also felt that eating two salted duck eggs would not make a person bad, but since Mrs.
Fang Shanggong and Lin unanimously disagreed, they must have their reasons.
During the Full Moon Banquet, the wet nurse would carry the second prince to the Qianqiu Palace.
However, it was a banquet for the clan members and courtiers, and Xie Ning could not go to the Qianqiu Palace.
On the day of the full moon feast, she had to change into auspicious clothes to receive the decree of promotion and canonization.
It was supposed that after receiving the order, one would have to go to express gratitude, but the emperor had already said that this step would be omitted.
There is no queen in the palace, so there is no need to visit the queen and listen to her instructions.
But after receiving the order, someone from the East and West Sixth Palace will definitely come to congratulate him, and by the way, he will celebrate the second prince's full moon at Yong'an Palace.
Xie Ning got up early that morning.
She finally took a beautiful medicinal bath and felt that the plaster she rubbed off could be used to mold a clay figure as big as her.
After washing, my whole body felt extremely relaxed, and I really felt like I had lived a new life.
After drying my hair, I put on makeup and changed clothes.
It was the first time for Xie Ning to wear such a formal Jifu, and Luo Shanggong also came to help.
She is an expert in these things.
She came here every day in the past few days and taught Xie Ning how to kneel down when receiving orders, how to express gratitude, how to receive orders, etc.
In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly.
Xie Ning knelt down in front of the main hall, and the palace supervisor came over to announce the decree.
At the end, Xie Ning just said that he would accept the decree and express his gratitude.
If it weren't for such an expert, it would be really difficult to put on this complete set of Jifu.
Xie Ning stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at the figure reflected in the mirror, unable to believe that it was him.
The Jifu was like a shell.

She was put into this shell.
With her butterfly eyebrows and some red lips, she looked like the person in a certain painting, which was a concubine of the previous dynasty.
She shouldn't be the first person to receive canonization in Yong'an Palace, and she probably won't be the last one either.
A new generation replaces the old, but only Yong'an Palace remains unchanged.
Maybe in a few years there will be people like her wearing auspicious clothes and taking pictures of themselves in the mirror here.
Xie Ning didn't know why, but suddenly remembered the emperor standing alone outside the palace gate that morning.
At that time, the emperor was thinking about whether he would be the same as she is now, and he also had many emotions.
Today's situation is not good and I can only update once.
I will update again tomorrow.
Friends in the group will definitely say that Chouge broke his promise and got fat, because he clearly said in the group that he would have double updates in the afternoon.
But the state is really bad and the writing is not smooth.
Yesterday I woke up from a nightmare.
My eyelids were twitching and I was in a very bad mood.
I haven't had such a nightmare for a long time.
Well, the stupid author is too fragile to even have a dream.
But my friend said that timid people are actually quite good.
They know how to fear but also how to cherish
