Chapter 158.1

That night, everyone returned home in high spirits.

However, Lin Beifans evening was not over yet.

He found Chai Yuxin, who was still somewhat shy, and asked with anticipation, Yuxin, what is the surprise you mentioned? Can it be revealed now?

Your Majesty, its not quite convenient here. Follow me! Chai Yuxin took Lin Beifans hand and ran to the sleeping quarters.

Lin Beifan narrowed his eyes.

What surprise necessitates running to the sleeping quarters?

Of course, its

Lin Beifans heart swelled with excitement, and he couldnt help but ask eagerly, Yuxin, is it ready? I can hardly wait!

Chai Yuxins face flushed as she shook her head, Not yet! Your Majesty, please close your eyes first!Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Cant I just keep them open?

No, I would be too embarrassed Chai Yuxin said bashfully.

Lin Beifan chuckled, understanding that, indeed, some things could be quite embarrassing.

You see, girls need to be understood!!!

So, Lin Beifan closed his eyes, full of anticipation: Yuxin, I have closed my eyes! Come on, no matter what you do, whether its wild or gentle, I will cooperate enthusiastically. Dont take it easy on me!

Watching Lin Beifan being so cooperative, Chai Yuxin pulled out something from behind her: Your Majesty, its okay now, you can open your eyes!

Lin Beifan opened his eyes, and upon seeing the object in front of him, three question marks popped into his mind: What is this?

This is a piece of clothing I knitted for you. Do you like it? Chai Yuxin asked with great anticipation.

Lin Beifan began to feel aggrieved: Yuxin, is this the surprise you were talking about?

Of course!

Chai Yuxin said earnestly, I prepared this carefully just for you! Every stitch and thread was sewn by my own hands, and it took me a whole month! Dont you like it?

I like it, I like it very much! But why wait until the evening? Why not during the day?

Chai Yuxins face turned red as she said, Of course not during the day! There are so many people around during the day, and since its my first time making clothes, my skills arent very good. Others would laugh at me!

Then why did you run to the sleeping quarters? Lin Beifan asked again.

Its for the convenience of changing clothes. Arent you supposed to change clothes in the sleeping quarters?

And you even asked me to close my eyes Lin Beifan sounded even more plaintive.

Its to create an atmosphere of surprise!

Lin Beifan:

Well, that was a long wait for nothing!

Stop talking and just try it on!

Lin Beifan took off his dragon robe and put on the clothes that Chai Yuxin had specially made for him, only to find that the garment was somewhat skewed, with one sleeve longer than the other.

Lin Beifan simply treated them to a meal, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

Holidays are always fleeting, and the 15-day Spring Festival holiday passed by quickly.

Reluctantly leaving their homes, everyone returned to their jobs.

Miners went back to mining, road workers to repair roads, builders to construct houses, and pioneers to clear new land

All over Great Xia, there was a bustling scene of activity.

At the same time, the imperial court was also making significant moves frequently, sending out many signals.

The Great Xia Military Academy is once again opening its doors, continuing to cultivate leaders.

This year, the conscription continues, with the scale exceeding one million.

The imperial examination is to be reinstated, selecting talents to serve the nation.

Each of these announcements, as they are released, is a major event that shocks the entire country.

The reopening of the Military Academy gives many grassroots officers hope.

This is because the previous cohort of cadets, upon their successful graduation, all received promotions. They, too, wish for promotion, so their performance has become even more proactive, training as if their lives depended on it.

The massive conscription has the greatest impact.

For the common people at the bottom, its practically an opportunity to defy fate and change their destiny.

Now everyone knows that in Great Xia, being a soldier is the most lucrative job.

Even without any battles or distinguished service, one can still earn a stable income of six taels of silver a year, which is double what the average common person makes.

If one wins a battle, they can earn a few more taels of silver for each fight.

After a few battles, one could afford a concrete house.

Many soldiers have made their fortunes through warfare.

If you are strong enough and perform great deeds, you even have the chance to become a general.

Thus, there is no shortage of volunteers.

This time, I must enlist. I must go to war!

Who would disagree? Serve in the army for two years, and at the very least, youll earn enough for a house. Its the best way to wealth!

Exactly, several kids from next door have enlisted! Back then, I was too scared to join, and now theyve all bought houses and found wives while Im still working on the construction site to pay off my mortgage. I regret it so much that my guts are turning green!

Dont worry, this is just news from the court; they havent started conscription yet!

Can I not be anxious? I cant wait any longer!
