Chapter 1570 Red Clothes Like Fire

"Ministers, wait. I still have something to give you."

Hearing Xia Wei's words, everyone turned around and bowed. Then, they waited to see what Xia Wei was going to give everyone.

However, the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall did not move at all. Only Xia Wei sat up high. He glanced at the people in the hall. "I want to announce something. Those who come today are all geniuses of the world. As long as they're willing to stay in my royal court, they can be exempted from the test and enter the Hanlin Academy. They'll be released as officials a year later."

Everyone was shocked by this.

In this era of the Great Xia Dynasty, it was still hereditary. The positions of officials and nobles were hereditary. Ordinary people had no chance of entering the royal court.

The prince consort selection this time was an exception. It faced the entire country. Whether rich or poor, as long as one had talent, they could be nominated. There was no lack of men with low backgrounds.

Hearing Xia Wei's words now was undoubtedly a huge blow to everyone's worldview.

"However." Xia Wei glanced at Xie Yun. "I've always respected my sister's intentions. I'm also very regretful that my beloved minister couldn't become the emperor's son-in-law. I can agree to one request of yours as compensation."

Xie Yun smiled and shook her head. "Your Majesty, I knew from the beginning that that person could not be mine."

Looking at Xie Yun's disappointed expression, for some reason, Xia Wei felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. It was as if he could also feel Xie Yun's current emotions.

That helplessness of being unable to love was like a knife cutting through one's heart bit by bit. Why did I feel this way??

However, he quickly stopped dwelling on this question and treated it as him feeling regretful for Xie Yun.

There were so many things that Dynasty needed him to do every day. This small ripple could not arouse his attention at all.

In front of him was another memorial that the ministers had advised him to set up as soon as possible. Xia Wei frowned and flipped open the memorial. Inside were beauties sent from all directions, all of them for Xia Wei.

Xia Wei casually glanced at it and his gaze paused on a woman with bright facial features in red.

However, it was only for a moment. Xia Wei only felt that the woman's passionate appearance in red had a different feeling.
